For each matter, which may come before the meeting, including the election of directors, each share is entitled to one vote. The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company. If the proxy in such form is properly returned by dating, signing and mailing, or the proxy is voted properly by using the telephone voting procedures, and choices are specified, the shares represented thereby will be voted at the meeting in accordance with those instructions.

The proxy, if given, may be revoked by the stockholder giving it at any time before it is voted, and such right is not limited by or subject to compliance with any specified formal procedure. A proxy may be revoked by written notice of revocation or by a later proxy, in either case delivered using the telephone voting procedures or by mail to the Secretary of the Company. Attendance at the 1997 Annual Meeting will not automatically revoke a proxy, but a stockholder in attendance may request a ballot and vote in person, thereby revoking a prior granted proxy. If a stockholder is a participant in the Motorola Profit Sharing and Invest- ment Plan (the "Profit Sharing Plan") the proxy card also will serve as a vot- ing instruction for the trustees of those plans where all accounts are registered in the same name. If shares of Common Stock in the Profit Sharing Plan are not voted either by telephone or by returning the proxy card repre- senting such shares, those shares will be voted by the trustees in the same proportion as the shares voted by telephone or for which signed cards are re- turned by other participants. The Motorola Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") was merged into the Profit Sharing Plan as of June 28, 1996. No sepa- rate voting is required for shares formally in the ESOP.

Massey, chairman, Mitchell, Negroponte and White are the present mem- bers of the technology committee, which identifies and assesses significant technological issues and needs affecting the Company. This committee held five meetings in 1996. Mr. West, chairman, and Messrs. Mitchell, Pepper and Tooker are the present members of the management development committee, which is responsible for regu- larly reviewing the process and results of the Company's organization and man- agement development program. This committee held two meetings in 1996. DIRECTOR COMPENSATION The standard arrangement during 1996 for compensating non-employee directors of the Company was the payment of an annual retainer of $40,000 to each direc- tor. Each non-employee director who is chairman of a committee receives an ad- ditional $4,000 per annum. The Company does not intend to increase this retainer for the next two years because beginning in June 1996, the Company be- gan granting annual options to acquire 1,000 shares of Motorola common stock to non-employee directors. In addition, each non-employee director receives $1,500 per day for directors' meetings attended, $1,000 per day for attendance at com- mittee meetings which are not held in conjunction with, and on the same day as, directors' meetings; $500 per day for committee meetings attended which are held in conjunction with, and on the same day as, director or committee meet- ings; and $1,500 per day and a pro-rata portion thereof for partial days, for assigned work for the benefit of the Company or any subsidiary which is re- quested by the Board or its Chairman, any committee of the Board or a member of the Chief Executive Office. Non-employee directors may elect to defer receipt of all or any portion of their compensation until the year after they cease be- ing a director, become disabled or reach a designated age. Such deferred amounts are credited with interest at a rate based on the discount rate for ninety-day Treasury bills. Payments generally may be made in a lump sum or in annual installments over a period not exceeding ten years. The entire undis- tributed deferred amount (plus interest) will be distributed in a lump sum upon a participating director's death. The Company also reimburses its directors and spouses who accompany directors, in certain instances, for travel, lodging and related expenses they incur in attending Board and committee meetings. In February, 1996, the Board of Directors voted to terminate the retirement plan for the then non-employee directors who become directors after February 6, 1996, and to freeze the plan for the then current non-employee directors. Non- employee directors elected after the vote were not entitled to benefits under this plan, and non-employee directors already participating in the plan accrued no additional benefits for services after May 31, 1996. Directors with accrued vested benefits will be entitled to receive payment of such benefits in accor- dance with the applicable payment terms of the plan, including payments to his or her spouse in the event of death. Non-employee directors are covered by insurance that provides accidental death and dismemberment coverage of $500,000 per person. The spouse of each such director is also covered by such insurance when traveling with the direc- tor on business trips for the Company. The Company pays the premiums for such insurance. The total premiums for coverage of all such directors and their spouses during the year ended December 31, 1996 was approximately $4,100. In May, 1995, the stockholders approved the adoption of the Non-Employee Di- rectors' Stock Plan. Under this plan, non-employee directors may elect to re- ceive all or a part of 6 PROXY STATEMENT -------------------- the cash compensation they receive for services as a director in the form of shares of Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock were first available under this plan in 1996 and four directors are participating in the plan. Mr. Robert W. Galvin, a director and executive officer, owns an airplane which he used on business travel for the Company for approximately 86.6% of its miles flown in 1996. The Company employs pilots and mechanics for airplanes which it owns. They also devote a portion of their time to Mr. Galvin's air- plane, including those times when it is not being used on Company business. The Company pays the salaries and the cost of fringe benefits of these employees. Mr. Galvin pays all of the other expenses of his airplane, except that the cost of fuel, oil and relatively minor incidental crew and flight expenses incurred solely in connection with Company business flights, are paid by the Company. Mr. Galvin does not charge the Company when other Company personnel accompany him on his airplane on business trips. In 1996, and historically, the percent- age of the total expenses of the airplane which has been paid by the Company has been less than the percentage of usage of the airplane for Company busi- ness. Certain non-employee directors were paid additional compensation for services to the Company. Mr. John F. Mitchell performed services primarily as a senior consultant to the Company on the IRIDIUM(R) project. During 1996 he received $352,800, plus expenses. Mr. Donald R. Jones served as Chairman of the Profit Sharing Committee of the Motorola Profit Sharing and Investment Plan and the Retirement Committee under the Pension Plan and Employee Stock Ownership Plan and received in 1996 $8,000 per quarter for a total of $32,000, plus expenses. During 1996, Mr. William J. Weisz received $27,500 a month for a total of $330,000, plus expenses for services as Chairman of the Board of Directors. APPROVAL BY STOCKHOLDERS In order to be elected, a nominee must receive the vote of a plurality of the outstanding shares of Common Stock represented at the meeting and entitled to vote. Shares may be voted for or withheld from each nominee. Shares that are withheld and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the elec- tion because directors will be elected by a plurality of the shares voted for directors. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION AS DIRECTORS OF THE NOMINEES NAMED HEREIN. UNLESS INDICATED OTHERWISE BY YOUR PROXY VOTE, THE SHARES WILL BE VOTED FOR THE ELECTION AS DIRECTORS OF SUCH NOMINEES. 7 PROXY STATEMENT - ------------------ SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY The following table sets forth information as of January 31, 1997 (except as indicated below) regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock by each director and nominee for director of the Company, by the persons named in the Summary Compensation Table on page 9, and by all current directors, nom- inees and current executive officers of the Company as a group.

* Not currently available. See footnote (5). (1) Including amounts deferred pursuant to salary reduction arrangements under the Profit Sharing Plan. (2) These amounts were earned in each of these years under the Motorola Execu- tive Incentive Plan ("MEIP") for performance during that year. (3) These amounts are the Company's reimbursements for the federal income tax liability resulting from the income imputed to that executive officer as a result of coverage by a group life insurance policy for elected officers. (4) The aggregate amount of perquisites and other personal benefits, securities or property, given to each named executive officer valued on the basis of aggregate incremental cost to the Company, was less than either $50,000 or 10% of the total of annual salary and bonus for that executive officer dur- ing each of these years. (5) Payments for 1995 under the Long Range Incentive program were not calcula- ble until after distribution of the Company's proxy statement for 1996 and appear for the first time in the table above. The 1996 payments under this plan are not calculable at this time because comparator companies' data are not available, but are expected to be very substantial. (6) These figures for 1996 include the following amounts for the premiums paid under the term life portion of the split-dollar life insurance: for Mr. Tooker, $9,355; for Mr. C. Galvin, $3,122; for Mr. Staiano, $6,810; for Mr. Norling, $4,693; and for Mr. Scanlon, $3,075.

(1) These are options granted under the Share Option Plan of 1996 to acquire shares of Common Stock. (2) These options were granted at fair market value at the time of the grant, are generally not exercisable until one year after grant and carry with them the right to elect to have shares withheld upon exercise and/or to de- liver previously acquired shares of Common Stock to satisfy tax withholding requirements. The options granted in 1996 to these individuals represent well less than 0.1% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. (3) These options could expire earlier in certain situations. 9 PROXY STATEMENT - ------------------ (4) The potential realizable value of the options, if any, granted in 1996 to each of these executive officers was calculated by multiplying those op- tions by the excess of (a) the assumed market value, at December 17, 2006, of Common Stock if the market value of Common Stock were to increase 5% or 10% in each year of the option's 10-year term over (b) the base price shown. This calculation does not take into account any taxes or other ex- penses which might be owed. The assumed market value at a 5% assumed an- nual appreciation rate over the 10-year term is $87.65 and such value at a 10% assumed annual appreciation rate over that term is $139.57. At $87.65 the total market value of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on March 14, 1997 would be $52,085,182,016 which would be an increase of $15,687,949,860 from the market value of such shares at the close of busi- ness on December 31, 1996. At $139.57, the total market value of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on March 14, 1997 would be $82,938,150,074 which would be an increase of $46,540,917,918 from the market value of such shares at the close of business on December 31, 1996. The 5% and 10% appreciation rates are set forth in the Securities and Ex- change Commission rules and no representation is, of course, made that the Common Stock will appreciate at these assumed rates or at all.

(1) All the payments shown are potential assumed amounts. There is no assur- ance that Motorola will achieve results that would lead to payments under the Company's Long Range Incentive Plan of 1994 ("LRIPL") or that any pay- ments will be made under this plan. (2) Under the LRIPL, at the beginning of each four year cycle, the Compensa- tion Committee determines the objective measures/metrics for that cycle. The measures/metrics used for this purpose are return on net assets ("RONA"), shareholder return and sales growth over a four year period, each weighted at 25%, compared to a selected competitive group of compa- nies. The fourth measurement is fundable growth weighted at 25%. An award is earned only when Company performance exceeds the minimum specified RONA floor, notwithstanding superior performance versus the comparator group of companies, and can range from 0% to 200% of the lesser of (1) 125% of the executive officer's annualized base salary on January 1 of the first year of the four year cycle, or (2) 100% of the executive officer's annualized base salary on December 31 of the last year of the four year cycle. No payments are made unless the minimum specified RONA floor is exceeded by Motorola. (3) At the performance threshold-which is that point at which a payment could be made under the LRIPL--each listed current executive officer who partic- ipates in the LRIPL could receive $1 under the LRIPL. (4) At the performance target--which is that point at which 50% of the maximum award under the LRIPL would be payable--the indicated payments would be made under the LRIPL. (5) These figures were calculated using the January 1, 1996 annualized base salary for each participating executive officer. 10 PROXY STATEMENT ------------------- PENSION AND SUPPLEMENTARY RETIREMENT PLANS The Company maintains a retirement income plan known as the Motorola, Inc. Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan"). The Company's general objective is for the after-tax payments from the Pension Plan and Social Security to provide non- elected officer employees who have 35 years of service under the present Pen- sion Plan formula, with approximately 80% to 100% of their final after-tax salary after their normal retirement. The Company has established a Supplemen- tal Pension Plan ("Supplemental Plan") for participants in the Pension Plan who are not elected officers and who receive compensation in excess of the reduced compensation limit imposed by changes to the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The purpose of the Supplemental Plan is to restore the benefits that otherwise would have been provided by the Pension Plan if the compensation limit of the Code had not been reduced. The Company also maintains a supplementary retirement plan in which elected officers, including the named executive officers, participate. If the benefit payable annually (computed on a single life annuity basis) to any named execu- tive officer under the Pension Plan (which is generally based on varying per- centages of specified amounts of final average earnings, prorated for service, as described in the Pension Plan) is less than the benefit calculated under the supplementary plan, that officer will receive supplementary payments upon re- tirement at age 60 or later. The total annual payments to such officer from both plans will, generally, aggregate a percentage of the sum of such officer's rate of salary at retirement plus an amount equal to the highest average of the Motorola Executive Incentive Plan ("MEIP") awards paid to such officer for any five years within the last eight years preceding retirement, as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 9. Such percentage ranges from 40% to 45%, depending upon such officer's years of service and other factors. However, the total annual pension payable on the basis of a single life annuity to any named executive officer from the Pension Plan and supplementary retirement plan is subject to a maximum of 70% of that officer's base salary prior to retire- ment. If the officer is vested and retires at or after age 57 but prior to age 60, he or she may elect to receive a deferred unreduced benefit when he or she attains age 60, or an actuarially reduced benefit when that officer retires contingent upon entering into an agreement not to compete with the Company. If a change in control (as defined) of the Company occurs, the right of each non- vested elected officer to receive supplementary payments will become vested on the date of such change in control. Based on salary levels at December 31, 1996, and the average of the MEIP awards paid for the highest five years out of the last eight years, for the named executive officers in the Summary Compensation Table, the estimated an- nual benefit payable upon retirement at normal retirement age from the Pension Plan, as supplemented pursuant to the officers' supplementary retirement plan described above, and a previous retirement income plan is Mr. Tooker, $756,000; Mr. C. Galvin, $588,000; Mr. Staiano, $434,000; Mr. Norling, $423,500; and Mr. Scanlon, $385,000. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS The Company has adopted a policy (the "salary protection policy") which gen- erally provides that most employees of the Company and its subsidiaries would receive a lump sum payment, based on years of service and salary in the event their employment is involuntarily terminated (except for specific reasons) dur- ing a two-year period following an unsolicited change in control (as defined) of the Company. This policy, which is subject to specified amendment and termi- nation, also provides for continuation of medical plan benefits. In addition, the Company has entered into Termination Agreements with certain key employees, including the named executive officers, who are not covered by the salary pro- tection policy because of the Termination Agreements. Each Termination Agree- ment provides for the payment of benefits in the event that (i) the executive officer terminates his or her employment for any reason within one year of a change in control (as defined), (ii) the executive officer terminates his or her employment for "good reason" (as defined) within two years of a change in control, or (iii) the executive officer's employment is terminated for any rea- son other than termination for "good cause" (as defined), disability, death or normal retirement within two years of a change in control. In the case of (ii) and (iii) above, accumulation by a person or group of a 20 percent stock posi- tion would constitute a change in control, although, in the case of (i) above, a 51 percent stock position would be required. No benefits are payable under the Termination Agreements in the case of any change in control which the Company's Chairman of the Board determines to be the result of a transaction which was initiated by the Company. The amount of the benefits payable to an executive officer entitled thereto would be equal to, in addition to unpaid salary for accrued vacation days and accrued salary and annual bonus through the termination date, an amount equal to three times the greater of the execu- tive officer's highest annual base salary in effect during the three years im- mediately preceding the change in control and the annual base salary in effect on the termination date, plus an amount equal to three times the highest annual bonus received during the immediately preceding five fiscal years ending on or before the termination date. Benefits are subject to offset to the extent that such offset would improve the executive officer's after-tax position by elimi- nating any excise taxes otherwise imposed on the employee under the "parachute payment" provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The term of each Termination Agreement is subject to automatic one year extensions unless the Company gives 12 months prior notice that it does not wish to extend. In addition, if a change in control occurs during the term, the Termination Agreement continues for an additional two years. 11 PROXY STATEMENT - ------------------- The following graph and related disclosure and the Report of Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation shall not be deemed incorporated by refer- ence by any general statement incorporating this proxy statement into any fil- ing under the Securities Act of 1933 or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this in- formation by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such acts.

12 PROXY STATEMENT ------------------- REPORT OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OBJECTIVES OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM The objective of Motorola's executive compensation program is to attract and retain key executives critical to the long-term success of the Company. It is designed to align compensation with business strategy and success, and with Company values. This means having an integrated executive compensation program that is intended to balance short-term performance with the achievement of long-range strategic goals and that is designed to result in continuously im- proving total shareholder value. The program rewards executives not only for achieving Company goals, but also in relationship to the Company's performance compared to peer industry company performance. The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors met seven times in 1996. It discusses and reviews in detail the compensation for the members of the Chief Executive Office, and recommended to the Board of Di- rectors for its approval changes in compensation for those executives. The Com- mittee also reviewed and approved compensation changes for members of the Management Board. The Committee reviews total compensation for all elected officers; fixes the salaries of those elected officers who are members of the Management Board (other than the Chief Executive Officer, the President, and the Chairman of the Executive Committee, which, along with the compensation for the Chairman of the Board, is reviewed and fixed by the full Board of Directors); and fixes the salaries of those officers, if any, who directly report to the Chief Executive Officer or to the President, but are not members of the Management Board. The Chief Executive Office has joint authority to fix compensation for all other elected officers. The Committee continues to fix MEIP awards and grants of stock options in the aggregate, and individual awards for all elected officers. SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION PLANS For many years, Motorola has participated in a number of compensation surveys for all job categories, exempt and nonexempt, which it believes can be "benchmarked." One of these surveys is a "consolidated industries" report on the compensation for executive job categories in what are currently 271 compa- nies, of which 26 are in the S&P Electronic Subgroups Index shown on page 12. Another survey is a report on the compensation for executive job categories in what are currently 28 large (sales of $5 billion or more) "high tech" and in- dustrial companies, selected for their being in some of the same general lines of business as the Company or as being viewed as generally important to the overall high tech industry. This "high tech" survey includes 15 of the compa- nies in the S&P Electronic Subgroups Index shown in the graph on page 12. Be- cause Motorola intends to attract and retain substantially above-average executives, the determination of base salaries includes a factor that raises salary range midpoints approximately 10% above the salary levels projected us- ing the "consolidated industries" report, as appropriately adjusted to reflect any higher compensation for positions indicated in the "high tech" survey, on the basis of the Company's size and organization level (determined using re- gression analysis) for directly comparable and equivalent jobs. Each year, the Chief Executive Office confirms to the Committee that the executive salary range midpoints are projected to be approximately 10% above the salary levels projected using the "consolidated industries" report. Where Company positions are broader or narrower than other comparable positions in other companies, ap- propriate judgmental adjustments are made to recognize these differences. Where Company positions are not comparable to others studied, the Company positions are assigned salary ranges which provide relative equity in relation to other Motorola positions. Using this method, salary grades for each elected officer position (including the Chief Executive Office, discussed below) in the Company were developed and approved. It is also the Company's general intention that, where allowed by law and lo- cal custom, all its employees should have the opportunity to increase their base compensation by participating in one or more incentive compensation plans, where the payments are based on Company, unit, team, or individual performance. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally limits the tax deduc- tion to $1 million for compensation paid to the executive officers listed on page 9 unless certain requirements are met. The Company is not planning to change the process for determining awards under the Motorola Executive Incen- tive Plan, one of the requirements for exemption from Section 162(m), because it is believed to be in the best interest of the Company to continue to exer- cise discretion, in the same manner as in the past, in the determination of MEIP awards. Therefore, MEIP awards will not be deductible. The Share Option Plan of 1991, the Share Option Plan of 1996 and the Long Range Incentive Plan of 1994 meet the requirements for exemption from Section 162(m) and compensa- tion paid under these plans will be deductible. In addition to a number of localized incentive programs, such as salespersons' commissions, Motorola has four major incentive compensation pro- grams in operation. All four of these relate in one way or another to Company performance and in most cases, to sector, group, division or team performance. 1. The first such program is the RONA (Return On Net Assets) Incentive Pro- gram. This is generally available to eligible employees who are not participat- ing in the Motorola Executive Incentive Plan. Participants in 1996 numbered approximately 67,000. RONA awards are earned and paid semi-annually to partici- pants and depend, first, on the Company and, in most cases, the major business unit for which the participant works, exceeding a minimum RONA percentage (as determined by the Company) during the six-month period and, second, the extent to which such minimum percentage was exceeded. RONA combines profit after tax with more efficient utilization of assets to help achieve sales growth. The RONA percentage is calculated as: Sales Profit After Tax Profit After Tax X ------ = Net Assets Sales Net Assets 13 PROXY STATEMENT - ------------------ 2. The second such program is the Motorola Executive Incentive Plan (MEIP). This is participated in by elected and appointed officers (including the named executive officers) and employees at certain levels of management and by spe- cific professionals who are deemed individual contributors. Participants in 1996 numbered 906. MEIP awards are generally earned and paid annually and are determined and awarded as a percentage of the participant's base salary earn- ings. For each year, a percentage, not to exceed seven percent, of the Company's consolidated net earnings (as determined under the MEIP, but gener- ally on a pre-tax basis after specified deductions) for that year which remains after deducting an amount equal to five percent of average capital employed (as determined under the MEIP) is added to the reserve available for payment of MEIP awards. Amounts were added to the reserve for 1996. The MEIP award for each participant is based on the achievement of a mixture of financial, strate- gic non-financial, and individual goals set for each calendar year. The MEIP sets no limits on the amount of awards to individual participants, except that the amounts awarded under the MEIP cannot exceed the amount reserved. In addi- tion, the Committee has established target and upper limit MEIP award levels which vary by salary range and which are updated periodically based on competi- tive survey information. For exceptional performance, the upper limit award level guidelines can be exceeded. 3. The third such program is the Long Range Incentive Plan of 1994 (LRIPL), which for the cycle that began with 1996 is participated in to varying degrees by 35 of the Company's elected officers (including the named executive offi- cers) and which shareholders approved in 1994. The LRIPL award is determined, in part, by the Company's RONA, sales growth and stockholder return over a four-year period, compared to an average of a similar calculation for a group of selected competitive companies chosen by the Committee (the "comparator group index") and to Company targets. The comparator group index is a group of what is now thirteen companies, generally in one or more of the same lines of business as the Company, and believed by the Committee to be appropriate for measuring comparative performance on the basis of the factors in the LRIPL over a four-year period. An award is earned only when Company performance exceeds a minimum specified RONA floor, notwithstanding superior performance versus the comparator group index and Company targets. Additionally the award is deter- mined, in part, by the Company's fundable growth. The LRIPL or a predecessor plan has been in effect in sixteen succeeding four-year cycles, the first of which began in 1982. Under the most recent pred- ecessor plan, the Long Range Incentive Program ("LRIPR"), since its inception payments have been made twice, for the cycles ending with 1994 and 1995, be- cause the Company's overall RONA performance had not previously exceeded the RONA floor set in the LRIPR. This was the case before 1994 and 1995 even though in the previous four completed four-year cycles the Company's financial perfor- mance (as measured by LRIPR) exceeded the comparator group index. Maximum awards were paid for the four-year cycles ending with 1994 and 1995, except that no awards were paid, for the cycle ending with 1994, to participants in one of the Company's businesses, because it did not achieve the specified RONA floor for that business. For the four-year cycle ending with 1996, the Company-wide RONA floor set in the LRIPR was exceeded by the Company and very substantial payments are expected. 4. The last such program is the Share Option Plans. The Share Option Plans are participated in by a wide range of managerial and individual contributors. Recipients of Share Options in 1996 numbered approximately 13,000. There are approximately 15,900 total current Share Option holders. Share Options are typ- ically awarded annually to encourage optionees to own Common Stock, thus align- ing their own personal financial worth to the Company's share price growth. They are granted with option prices at the then-market price in quantities as low as 25 shares to mid-range and lower level Company employees, and in sub- stantially higher numbers to senior managers. The final worth of Share Options depends wholly on the increase in the value of the Common Stock, which, over time, reflects the Company's performance, as viewed by the market. Beginning with the Share Option grant in December, 1993, the Company estab- lished higher minimum stock ownership level guidelines for executive officers, including the Chief Executive Office. Under those guidelines, if a Chief Execu- tive Office member does not own shares of Common Stock representing four times his base salary or if other executive officers do not own shares of Common Stock representing three times their base salaries, then such officer must re- tain fifty percent of the shares that remain from any exercise of the December, 1993 Share Option grant and any future Share Option grants, (after deducting the number of shares of Common Stock that could be surrendered to cover the cost of such exercise and any required tax withholdings, even if he or she does not actually surrender shares) until the minimum stock ownership level is reached. Additionally, these guidelines set a minimum stock ownership level of 5,000 shares of Common Stock for all other elected officers and 1,000 shares of Common Stock for all appointed vice-presidents. Under these additional guide- lines, if an elected officer or appointed vice-president does not own shares of Common Stock representing the minimum stock ownership level, then he or she must retain fifty percent of the shares that remain from any exercise of any Share Option granted after June 30, 1994, or after the date he or she becomes an elected officer or appointed vice-president if later, respectively, and from any future Share Option grants, after deducting the number of shares of Common Stock that could be surrendered to cover the cost of such exercise and any re- quired tax withholdings, even if he or she does not actually surrender shares, until the minimum Common Stock ownership level is reached. On one basis or another, the rewards under each of these four major plans de- pend on overall Company performance, with some also taking account of sector, group, division, small team or individual performance. There have been years when the employees of entire sectors, groups, or divisions, as well as execu- tive officers (including one or more of the five most highly compensated at that time) have received no payments under the RONA Incentive Program or under the MEIP or LRIPR. 14 PROXY STATEMENT ------------------- CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE AND CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD COMPENSATION The compensation for the Chief Executive Office members and the Chairman of the Board, who beginning on January 1, 1997 is an officer of the Company, con- sists of base salary, annual MEIP award eligibility, LRIPR and LRIPL award eli- gibility, Share Options, and certain other benefits. In addition to the studies mentioned earlier, a special Chief Executive Offi- cer and Chief Operating Officer compensation study is conducted periodically for the Committee of large (sales of $10 billion or more), industrial compa- nies, currently numbering 21, nine of which are in the S&P Electronic Subgroups Index shown in the graph on page 12, eighteen of which are included in the "high tech" industry survey discussed on page 13. This study uses regression analysis techniques, which relate Motorola's size to these other companies' size to approximate the appropriate base salary, other components of compensa- tion and the total compensa-tion levels which should be paid for the Chief Ex- ecutive Office members, before taking into account the financial and non- financial strategic performance of the Company and the individual performance of the Chief Executive Office members. In determining the Chief Executive Of- fice members' base salaries, the Committee considered the results of these studies and the salary range midpoints that are approximately 10% above salary levels projected on the basis of the Company's size, together with the Company's performance on its own financial and non-financial strategic goals and the individual performance of the Chief Executive Office members. No par- ticular weight was given to any one of these goals in setting base salaries for the Chief Executive Office members. The competitive studies gave the Committee a base from which to modify salary and/or incentive compensation based upon performance. In 1996, the Committee reviewed, and recommended for approval to the Board of Directors, the base salaries of the Chief Executive Office mem- bers. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE AND CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD BASE SALARY The base salaries for 1996 of Gary L. Tooker and Christopher B. Galvin, mem- bers of the Chief Executive Office at that time, were primarily determined as a result of the studies and survey data referred to above, and were based on their leadership performance and their performance on other subjective perfor- mance factors described below. Based again on their leadership performance and their performance on other subjective performance factors described below, the base salaries of Christopher B. Galvin and Robert L. Growney (who became a mem- ber of the Chief Executive Office on January 1, 1997) were reviewed by the full Board of Directors and, as of January 1, 1997, Mr. Galvin's salary increased to $990,000 and Mr. Growney's to $720,000. Mr. Tooker, who became Chairman of the Board on January 1, 1997, continues to be an officer and full-time employee of the Company, although not a member of the Chief Executive Office. Mr. Tooker's responsibilities as an officer of the Company include: to provide advice and counsel to the Chief Executive Office and to attend certain key meetings of the Chief Executive Office; work with the Chief Executive Office to manage major issues and projects, at the members' request; serve on certain internal and external committees, continue to assist in the Company's sponsorship of global diversity, training and family and public education initiatives; and represent the Company in relationships with senior government officials, major customers and industry associations. Mr. Tooker's base salary as of January 1, 1997 is $1,080,000. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE ANNUAL MEIP For the MEIP award paid in 1997 for 1996 performance, 25% of the MEIP bonus was based on RONA, and 25% was based on earnings per share improvement and on other performance improvement. The remaining 50% was based on a number of other goals, such as: the achievement of people goals, including objective minority and women parity goals and subjective goals related to leadership and the de- velopment of people; globalization goals, such as sales growth targets and initiatives in specific countries and regions; customer satisfaction and qual- ity measurement and metrics; cycle time goals; new growth platforms and new competencies. In line with competitive survey information, the Committee estab- lished, for Chief Executive Office members, a target annual MEIP award of 85% of base salary, with a maximum of 170%. The Committee reviewed the Company's performance for 1996 and the Chief Executive Office members' leadership role in attaining the level of achievement of quantifiable (essentially financial/economic) and non-quantifiable (judgmental) goals, determined that an MEIP award was warranted and granted an award of approximately 70% of each in- dividual's 1996 base salary to the Chief Executive Office members. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE SHARE OPTIONS Share Options for 80,000 shares of Common Stock at the market price on the grant date were awarded in December, 1996 to both Gary L. Tooker and Christo- pher B. Galvin as part of the Company's annual option program. This level of option awards was made using the Committee's judgment. In making these grants, the Committee referred to the options granted and exercised by these Chief Ex- ecutive Office members from 1987 to 1996 and their stock ownership as of Octo- ber 31, 1996. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE LRIPR For the four-year periods ending with 1994 and 1995, maximum awards were paid to the Chief Executive Office members. Data are not yet available to compute the comparator group index for 1996. The awards earned under the LRIPR for the four-year period ending with 1996 cannot be calculated until the data necessary to compute the comparator group index are made public by all of the companies reflected in the index. The minimum corporate four-year RONA percentage re- quired to be met for payment under LRIPR was met and awards for the four-year period ending with 1996 are expected to be very substantial. 15 PROXY STATEMENT - ------------------ GENERAL Overall, the Committee believes that the Chief Executive Office members and the Chairman of the Board are being appropriately compensated in a manner that relates to performance and in the stockholders' long-term interests. Respectfully submitted, Samuel C. Scott III, Chairman Thomas J. Murrin John E. Pepper, Jr. OTHER MATTERS The Board of Directors of the Company knows of no other business to be trans- acted at the annual meeting of stockholders, but if any other matters do come before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompany- ing proxy to vote or act with respect to them in accordance with their best judgment. MANNER AND COST OF PROXY SOLICITATION The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mails, officers, directors and regular employees of the Company, acting on its behalf, may solicit proxies by telephone or personal interview. Also, the Company has retained D. F. King & Co., Inc. to aid in the solicitation of proxies for which the Company will pay an estimated fee of $14,000, plus expenses. The Company will, at its expense, request brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward proxy soliciting material to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons. SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE Gary Tooker inadvertently failed to timely report, on his Form 5, that he gifted 800 shares in November, 1995 to several charities.

In accordance with Rule 14a-3(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as adapted to the "Summary Annual Report" procedure, the information contained in the following commentary and consolidated financial statements and notes is provided solely for the information of stockholders and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such information shall not be deemed to be "soliciting material" or to be "filed" with the Commission or subject to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (except as provided in Rule 14a-3) or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, unless, and only to the extent that, it is expressly incorporated by reference into the Form 10-K of Motorola, Inc. for its fiscal year ending December 31, 1996. MOTOROLA, INC. 1996 COMPARED WITH 1995 Sales increased 3% to $28.0 billion from $27.0 billion in 1995. Interna- tional market sales, as measured by the locale of the end customer after in- ternal Motorola sales eliminations, represented 58% of total sales in 1996, compared with 59% in 1995. The highest regional growth rates were achieved in Latin America and the United States while declines occurred in the Japan, Eu- rope, Asia Pacific and China markets. The Company believes the global economic outlook is healthy, especially in emerging markets such as Latin America and Asia. The Company also expects to see balanced growth in the developed world. At the end of 1996, the Semiconductor Products segment began to experience an improved pattern of orders and sales versus the rest of 1996 as the world- wide semiconductor industry entered a cyclical rebound. However, improved year-over-year financial results may not be evident until later in 1997. Many of the factors that affected certain Company businesses should continue to have an adverse impact early in 1997. During 1997, the Company plans to con- tinue investing in programs that create platforms for future growth, such as IRIDIUM(R) and flat-panel displays, as well as in Motorola core technology businesses. It is expected that, as these new products enter the Company's revenue base, profit margins will be relatively lower until markets mature and manufacturing economies of scale develop to reduce unit costs. Segment operating profits were $2.3 billion in 1996 compared with $3.2 bil- lion in 1995. The main factor contributing to the decline in earnings and slowdown in sales growth in 1996 was the recession in the semiconductor indus- try. Other factors included product deficiencies in certain segments of the cellular telephone and modem businesses, slower sales in the U.S. paging busi- ness in the fourth quarter, and their impact on related component products such as rechargeable batteries. In addition, restructuring costs and unusual charges, related to various as- set writedowns and strategic decisions to end certain technology development programs that no longer offered the growth potential to justify further in- vestment, resulted in a combined negative impact to pre-tax earnings of more than $150 million in the fourth quarter. These actions created a reinvigorated process to discontinue those development programs that have not lived up to their promise, while further reducing costs in existing businesses that are not achieving adequate profitability, and refocusing investments where Motor- ola possesses, or is cultivating leadership core competencies. Net earnings in 1996 were $1.15 billion, or $1.90 per fully diluted common and common equivalent share, compared with $1.78 billion in 1995, or $2.93 per fully diluted common and common equivalent share. Net margin on sales was 4.1%, compared with 6.6% during 1995. Motorola's selling, general and administrative expenses were 17% of sales both in 1996 at $4.7 billion and 1995 at $4.6 billion. By comparison to 1995, the difference in dollars resulted from increases in normal operating expenses and the restructuring and unusual charges mentioned earlier. These increases were largely offset by lower incentive compensation payments to employees that resulted from the decrease in Company profits. Depreciation expense increased 20% for 1996 compared with 1995 due to in- creased depreciation associated with new semiconductor manufacturing capacity added primarily in 1995 and early 1996. Depreciation expense is expected to increase in 1997, but at a slower rate than in 1996. This reflects the reduc- tion in fixed asset expenditures in 1996. Fixed asset expenditures for 1996 were $3.0 billion, compared with $4.2 billion in 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from selective deferral of manufacturing capacity expansion, primar- ily in the Semiconductor Products segment. Fixed asset expenditures for 1997 are expected to be flat. The effective tax rate for 1996 of 35% compared favorably to the 1995 and 1994 rate of 36%. The Company currently expects an effective tax rate of 35% during 1997. As of January 1, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Position (SOP) 96-1, "Environmental Remediation Liabilities" and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SOP 96-1 provides authoritative guidance on specific accounting issues that are present in the recognition, measure- ment, display, and disclosure of environmental cleanup liabilities. Statement No. 125 provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of finan- cial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. The im- pact of the adoption of these accounting standards on the Company's financial position and results of operations is not expected to be material. In recent years, a large portion of the Company's net sales, operating prof- its and growth have come from its international operations. As a result, fu- ture Company business activities and financial results could be significantly affected by the stability and policies of non-U.S. governments, particularly as they relate to prevailing social and economic conditions, inflation rates, monetary fluctuations, balance of payments, non-U.S. exchange rates or trade restrictions and prohibitions. F-1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - ------------------- 1995 COMPARED WITH 1994 Sales increased 22% to $27.0 billion from $22.2 billion in 1994. Interna- tional market sales, as measured by the locale of the end customer after inter- nal Motorola sales eliminations, represented 59% of total sales in 1995, compared with 53% in 1994. The highest regional growth rates were achieved in China, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Japan, and Latin America. Segment operating profits were $3.2 billion in 1995 compared with $2.9 bil- lion in 1994. During 1995, the Company's results were principally influenced by three trends: increasing worldwide price competition in the Company's wireless communications businesses; a moderating growth rate in the United States cellu- lar subscriber base and, to a lesser extent, in Europe; and costs and ineffi- ciencies resulting from the Company's addition of major elements of new manufacturing capacity in its semiconductor business. Motorola's selling, general and administrative expenses during 1995 were $4.6 billion or 17% of sales, compared with $4.4 billion or 20% of sales in 1994. By comparison with 1994, expenses during 1995 included a significantly lower level of costs resulting from the Company's ongoing evaluation of its operations, or- ganizational structure and asset valuations. Net earnings in 1995 were $1.78 billion, or $2.93 per fully diluted common and common equivalent share, compared with $1.56 billion in 1994, or $2.65 per fully diluted common and common equivalent share. Net margin on sales was 6.6%, compared with 7.0% during 1994. MOTOROLA, INC. SEGMENTS The following commentary should be read in conjunction with the 1996 finan- cial results of each reporting segment as detailed in Note 7, "Information by Industry Segment and Geographic Region" of the Consolidated Financial State- ments and Notes in this Proxy Statement. GENERAL SYSTEMS PRODUCTS The General Systems Products segment primarily designs, manufactures, dis- tributes, installs, and services cellular infrastructure equipment and cellular telephone subscriber units. The Motorola Computer Group, within this segment, develops, manufactures, sells, and services multi-function computer systems and board level products, together with operating systems and system enablers. Segment sales advanced 6% to $11.3 billion, orders rose 15% and segment oper- ating profits were lower. Sales increased over 1995 due to increased unit vol- ume, partially offset by declining sales prices, competitive pressures, and product deficiencies in certain market segments. Overall, sales also were af- fected by a slowing growth rate in the cellular subscriber base in the United States. For 1996, the Cellular Subscriber Sector (CSS), formerly the Cellular Sub- scriber Group, sales were slightly lower but orders were higher. The Company began to see signs of improvement in the cellular phone business during the third and fourth quarters of 1996 primarily from the introduction of leadership digital phone products. Total unit volume shipments of the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) phone category rose steadily throughout each quar- ter in 1996. Throughout 1996, CSS debuted a variety of new and innovative wireless commu- nications products. In January, CSS unveiled the StarTAC(TM) Wearable Cellular Telephone, the world's smallest and lightest Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) cellular phone commercially available. Shortly after, an Extended Total Access Communication System (ETACS) version of the StarTAC phone was announced. Mid-year, CSS announced its StarTAC(TM) 6000 Cellular Telephone, a mid-tier featured and lower priced addition to its AMPS wearable phone family. Later in the year, CSS followed with an announcement of its GSM StarTAC digital cellular telephone, the world's lightest and smallest phone for GSM networks. Other product announcements included the first GSM cellular phone to provide Chinese character short messaging and the commercial availability of the Per- sonal Phone Series(R) 2 cellular phone that can also be used as a cordless phone at home or at work. The latest version of the Easy Mobile Office data product debuted, which includes the MicroTAC(R) International 8700 GSM phone and the CELLect(TM) 2 PC (personal computer) card offering throughput of up to 36,000 bits per second. Using the Easy Mobile Office data solution, the phone may be conveniently connected to a user's laptop computer to send fax, data and e-mail messages. Additional highlights included: commercial availability of the MicroTAC(R) SC-720 phone for Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) networks. Also announced was the Micro Digital M75(TM) phone, the lightest phone available for Time Di- vision Multiple Access (TDMA) networks in North America. This dual-mode phone supports short message services, a pager-like feature with a scrolling display, and can be used on TDMA digital systems or AMPS analog systems. CSS also an- nounced development of a GSM cellular phone which enables consumers to send and receive cellular telephone calls and faxes, and e-mail messages and to access the Internet, all in a single, integrated unit. The MicroTAC Select(TM) 3000 phone, a new addition to Motorola's GSM digital product portfolio for the 1.9 gigahertz U.S. Personal Communication Service (PCS) market was unveiled in the third quarter. The segment's Cellular Infrastructure Group (CIG) sales and orders were high- er. In 1997, CIG will become part of the newly formed Cellular Networks and Space Sector. CIG sales and profit performance include large system orders which increase the potential for volatility in the timing of revenue, profit and order recognition during any particular period. Customers are looking to equipment vendors as one additional source of funding, and in some cases CIG is furnishing or guaranteeing some financing for customers. CIG established itself as a leader in CDMA technology by deploying CDMA net- works in Hong Kong and 14 other markets. Motorola became the first company to incorporate short message service in its CDMA digital networks and was the first to win a CDMA PCS contract internationally. CIG also deployed WiLL(R) systems in over 10 countries including Hungary where CIG has provided the ca- pacity to support more than 100,000 subscribers on wireless local loop systems. F-2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ------------------- The Motorola Computer Group (MCG) sales and orders increased over the prior year. Growth was attributed to continuing strength in the Group's Embedded Com- puting Businesses and the successful launch of the StarMax(TM) line of Mac-com- patible desktop computers using PowerPC(R) 603e and 604e microprocessors compatible with the Mac OS(R) operating system. MCG reached an agreement with Apple Computer, Inc. to license the Mac OS(R) operating system. The agreement allows the group to sub-license the Mac OS software with its motherboards and private-label systems to the original-equipment manufacturing marketplace. Mo- torola began selling PowerPC Platform desktop systems based on Mac OS software, and used its joint venture with Panda Electronics Group to distribute systems compatible with Mac OS systems in China. The group also introduced a new gener- ation of VME (Versa Module Eurobus) processor boards that use the PowerPC 603 and PowerPC 604 microprocessors. During December 1996, MCG also announced a shift in their product directions away from supporting Microsoft(R)'s Windows NT(TM) operating system on PowerPC, beginning with Windows NT version 5.0. SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTS The Semiconductor Products segment designs, manufactures and distributes a broad line of discrete semiconductors and integrated circuits, including micro- processors, RF (radio frequency) devices, microcontrollers, digital signal processors, memories and sensors. Segment sales declined 8% to $7.9 billion, orders were down 22% and segment operating profits were lower primarily due to a recession in the semiconductor industry. Excess supply of semiconductors caused by lower demand and increased capacity drove average selling prices down in 1996. All businesses experienced declining prices, with DRAMs (dynamic random access memory) being the most se- verely impacted. The segment's device portfolio includes integrated circuits and discrete products, with a 1996 sales mix of 30% logic and analog, 28% microcontrollers, 18% discretes, 13% microprocessors and 11% memories. The end market sales mix in 1996 was 33% to communications, 17% to automotive, 16% to industrial, 13% to personal computer/workstation, 11% to consumer electronics and 10% to computer (other than PC) and computer peripheral segments. The geographic sales mix in 1996 was 49% to the Pan-American region, 24% to the European region, 18% to the Asia-Pacific region and 9% to Japan. Motorola internal business units consumed 20% of the segment's product output in 1996. During 1996, the business groups results within the segment were as follows: the Microcontroller Technologies Group experienced higher sales and lower or- ders; the Logic and Analog Technologies Group, the Communications, Power and Signal Technologies Group, the Communications and Advanced Consumer Technology Group and the Microprocessor and Memory Technologies Group all experienced lower sales and orders. The Company believes that the semiconductor industry may have reached the bottom of this recessionary cycle as semiconductor products began to experience a sequential quarterly increase in orders and sales during the fourth quarter versus the third quarter of 1996. Year-to-year industry order growth and reve- nue growth comparisons are likely to remain negative during the first half of 1997. Although the rates of decline should lessen, this is expected to continue to place pressure on Motorola semiconductor profitability, as the backlog has decreased significantly from a year ago. Even when order and revenue growth be- gin to increase on a year-to-year basis, it is expected that significant under- utilized capacity within the industry will remain. As a result, the Company does not expect any major improvement in average selling prices in 1997. This translates into an expectation of a modest recovery for both the industry and Motorola's semiconductor business in 1997. Given those expectations, a return to a double-digit operating margin for the full year of 1997 for the Semicon- ductor Products segment does not appear to be achievable. The Semiconductor Products segment implemented a range of cost reduction and containment actions throughout 1996 to address the market slowdown. These ac- tions included halting building expansion and new construction as well as re- ducing manufacturing equipment purchases, headcount, work schedules and manufacturing run rates. The segment phased down pilot production at the COM 1 start up facility in Phoenix and on one of the wafer production lines in East Kilbride, Scotland. Construction was postponed for the CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) wafer fabrication facility announced in 1995 for Richmond, Virginia. The segment continues to make strategic investments, although at decreasing levels, in new capacity and advanced technologies to meet the projected long- term demand for semiconductors on a global scale. The segment believes that these investments are setting the stage for its long-term growth. Construction continues on the MOS 17 SMARTMOS(TM) facility in Tianjin, China. The segment also is gradually increasing production at an expansion at MOS 9 in East Kilbride, Scotland, for MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) digital-analog and high performance microprocessor (MPU) products. Motorola and Siemens entered into an agreement to construct and operate a jointly owned facility in Richmond, Vir- ginia to manufacture next generation 64-megabit DRAMs. First production is ex- pected in mid-1998. In 1996, the segment successfully used PowerPC(R) MPUs as the technology drivers for high performance computing applications, leveraging PowerPC and other core architectures to develop an array of embedded processors that ad- dress a wide variety of price/performance points and end uses. Eight new PowerPC chips were introduced, including the industry's highest performance MPUs for the volume desktop and portable computing markets, with Power PC 603e and 604e chips at speeds of 240 megahertz (MHz). Numerous design-ins for embed- ded applications of PowerPC cores included the communications, high-speed data internetworking and digital consumer/multimedia markets. A PowerPC-based MPC801 chip will power Mitsubishi's DiamondWeb(TM) Internet TV. Bay Networks chose the MPC860 PowerQUICC(TM) chip for its next generation fast ethernet network man- agement modules. Diba Inc. will use the MPC860 family to power information ap- pliances, and Samsung chose it to power Internet televisions for Korean, Japanese and U.S. consumers. Telecom applications announced for the MPC860 fam- ily include asynchronous trans- F-3 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - ------------------- fer mode (ATM) line cards, integrated services digital network (ISDN) protocol terminators, smart Ethernet hubs, and T1 and E1 line card controllers. For wired communication networks, the segment announced Motorola's selection to provide a new cell processor to Newbridge Network Corporation for ATM switches, and debuted a single-chip ISDN transceiver for European markets. Mo- torola also introduced an Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) transceiver that enables end users to use existing copper phone lines to access data 600 times faster than today's analog modems. New RF products included submicron bi- polar technology for personal communication system base stations, and many new devices for cable television applications, such as optical fiber systems and amplifiers. The ColdFire(TM) variable-length RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) ar- chitecture also is contributing to the segment's focus on high-growth technolo- gies for a variety of growing market segments. New ColdFire chips were introduced for high volume, cost-sensitive uses such as data storage, imaging, digital video disks, interactive cable set-top boxes and satellite systems. For imaging customers, the segment formed a strategic alliance with Peerless Sys- tems Corporation to allow Motorola to integrate ColdFire microprocessors with Peerless imaging technology. Shipments of nearly one-half billion 68HCO5 MCUs (microcontroller units) in 1996 helped Motorola remain the world's leading MCU supplier. The segment con- tinued to expand its 8-, 16-, 32- and 64-bit portfolios. Introductions included a new family of 16-bit, high performance, low voltage MCUs and an erasable, programmable read-only-memory (ROM) capability on a one-time-programmable (OTP) 8-bit device for use in low-cost number storage and keyboard interrupt applica- tions. In the digital signal processor (DSP) arena, the segment announced a new DSP architecture targeted for low-cost markets. Smartcards also are a growing market for semiconductors, with applications ranging from financial (electronic purse), personal identification (health cards), communication (cellular phone access) and transportation (toll payment for public transportation). As a leading supplier of MCUs for smartcards, the segment unveiled new "fast crypto" chips that combine industry leading encryption speed and high levels of data security. The segment also announced the development of the first smart microcontroller that allows full implementa- tion of both contact and contactless applications. New products introduced in the fast static random access memories (FSRAMs) included four pipelined modules designed for level two (L2) cache applications in desktop systems using Intel Corp.'s Pentium(R) MPUs, two products for digi- tal signal processor applications, and new high-performance BurstRAM(TM) chips for workstation, server, personal computing, high-speed networking and multime- dia. A highlight for environmental and industrial applications was availability of the segment's first chemical sensor family. The carbon monoxide detection sensor was debuted in October and was the first silicon-based chemical sensor on the market. The segment addressed energy-management opportunities and lowpower challenges in various market segments with a variety of power products. These included in- troduction of the VersaPower(TM) family of hybrid power modules for use in mo- tor drives, and PowerLux(TM) insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) for use in compact fluorescent lamp converters. The segment also continued to be the world's number 1 semiconductor supplier to global automotive manufacturers and announced the TouCAN(TM) series of MCUs for integrated Controller Area Network (CAN) capabilities. LAND MOBILE PRODUCTS The Land Mobile Products segment is primarily comprised of the following business groups: Radio Network Solutions, Radio Products, iDEN(TM), or Inte- grated Digital Enhanced Network, and Radio Parts and Services. The segment de- signs, manufactures and distributes analog and digital two-way radio and enhanced communication products and systems for applications worldwide, from on-site to wide area communications. Segment sales rose 11% to $4.0 billion and operating profits were higher. Or- ders increased 16% and were higher for both the segment's traditional analog products and its newer digital systems products. Orders for iDEN equipment were up significantly as more than 250,000 subscribers were added to iDEN systems around the world during 1996. In the segment's other businesses, demand was greater for both large advanced systems and analog portable and mobile two-way radios. The segment experiences worldwide competition for its products including fac- tors such as price, product features, product performance, product quality, de- livery, service, and systems quality and availability. Land Mobile Products segment sales and profit performance include large system orders which increase the potential for volatility in the timing of revenue, profit and order recog- nition during any particular period. Customers are looking to equipment vendors as one additional source of funding, and in some cases LMPS is furnishing or guaranteeing some financing for customers. During 1996, the Radio Network Solutions Group (RNSG) experienced increased sales and orders. RNSG introduced its first conventional two-way radio system compliant with the Project 25 U.S. digital standard in 1996. The system will be configured for single site or wide area, and simulcast or voting systems. Also during 1996, on the Channel Island of Jersey in the United Kingdom, Motorola initiated the world's first trial of radio communications equipment compliant with the new Trans European Trunked Radio (TETRA) Standard. RNSG announced its line of TETRA products with the Dimetra(TM) system family and was awarded the first contract for TETRA equipment for the new Gardermoen Airport in Oslo, Nor- way. The LTS 2000(TM) portable and LCS 2000(TM) mobile two-way radios were intro- duced for SMARTNET(TM) II trunking systems. These new radios provide a variety of customers, including construction, utilities and public safety, with ad- vanced trunking features. The new VRM600(TM) mobile packet radio modem contains both a data modem and radio in a compact package and provides the wireless con- nection between in-vehicle data terminals and an organization's host computer. The new XTS3000(TM) portable offers more functions and features in a more com- pact design than the prior generation. Featuring a full alphanumeric keypad, the XTS3000 portable operates in conventional, SMARTNET(TM), SECURNET(R) and SmartZone(R) communication networks. F-4 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ------------------- The new COMTEGRA(R) console also was introduced to provide customers in many market segments the ability to control communications functions such as two-way radio, paging and telephone from a compact work station. In 1996, the Radio Products Group (RPG) experienced higher sales and orders. RPG announced the low-power Talk-About(TM) portable two-way radio for consumer markets in the U.S. It operates on channels in the Family Radio Service, which does not require users to obtain a license. New portable and mobile two-way radios meeting the market-specific require- ments for different regions of the world were introduced for on-site and wide- area industrial, government and commercial applications. For European countries, the GP600 portable and GM600 mobile were introduced for use on shared trunking systems and the GP900 and 1200 series of portables meet more stringent industrial and government market specifications and requirements. The GTX(TM) portable was designed for use on shared trunking systems in the U.S. and Latin America. The HandiCom portable for European markets and the Pacer(TM) portable for Asian markets were designed to meet the unit-to-unit and on-site needs of small business users and operate on specially designated frequencies with simplified licensing. Other new products included the GP350(TM) and GM350 portable and mo- bile series for U.S. and European markets and the GP68 portable for Asian mar- kets. For 1996, iDEN sales and orders increased significantly. Nextel Communica- tions, Inc. placed orders for more than $500 million of iDEN infrastructure and subscriber equipment as a part of the continued rollout of its U.S. network. Major orders for a new iDEN system were received from Movilink in Colombia and from Infocom, a wireless system operator in the Philippines. Southern Communi- cations in the U.S., Clearnet Communications, Inc. in Canada, and Movicom in Argentina launched service in 1996 and have placed system expansion orders. IDEN service in Japan was expanded to include the Tokai region in addition to Tokyo and Osaka and the iDEN system in Israel also was expanded. Singapore Technologies launched commercial service on their iDEN system and construction commenced on the first iDEN system in Fujian, China. Motorola introduced an optional software enhancement to its iDEN technology. Known as "iDEN 3 to l," it provides premium audio quality for telephone inter- connect communications. Several new iDEN radios also were introduced during the year. The i370 pocket size portable integrates the instant conferencing and wireless intercom of two-way radio communications with telephone interconnect and alphanumeric paging. The r370 portable, designed to withstand extreme envi- ronmental conditions, such as blowing rain, humidity, dust, shock and vibra- tion, integrates the same communications services as the i370 pocket phone. The i280 portable is a compact, flip handset that integrates full-duplex telephone interconnect and alphanumeric paging service. For the Radio Parts and Services Group, sales declined slightly from 1995. The decline was attributed to the sale of Motorola-owned service shops. MESSAGING, INFORMATION AND MEDIA PRODUCTS The Messaging, Information and Media Products segment businesses are primar- ily comprised of the Messaging Systems Products Group (formerly the Paging Products Group), the Information Systems Group, the Wireless Data Group, and also includes newer businesses such as the Multimedia Group, the Lexicus Divi- sion, and the Platform Software Division. The segment designs, manufactures and distributes a variety of messaging products including pagers, paging systems and services, wireless and wireline communication products, and handwriting, voice recognition, and other communications software. Segment sales rose 8% to $4.0 billion, orders declined 3%, and operating profits were lower for the year due to pricing pressures in the paging and mo- dem businesses, possible inventory reduction by paging operators, restructuring and unusual charges, and increased investments in new technologies. In 1996, the Messaging Systems Products Group (MSPG), which represents a ma- jority of this segment's revenues, experienced slower sales growth and a small decline in orders. The decline in orders was primarily attributable to the Asian markets. For the year in the North American market for paging products, sales growth was strong but orders were lower in the fourth quarter as MSPG be- lieves paging operators reduced inventories in order to improve their financial positions and cash flow. MSPG also believes that sales by operators to consum- ers in North America during the fourth quarter continued to grow. In the U.S., the percentage of MSPG subscriber products distributed through retail channels continues to increase. For the year, there also was strong growth in pager sales in the South American and European markets. The European markets contin- ued to expand at above-average rates due to consumer services added in both Western and Eastern Europe, particularly in Russia. MSPG continues to be successful in its efforts to make the FLEX(TM) family of communication products, which includes FLEX(TM), ReFLEX(TM), and InFLEXion(TM) technologies, the de facto worldwide standard for high-speed messaging technol- ogy. More than 110 operators have adopted the FLEX protocol in over 33 coun- tries, and more than 60 FLEX communication systems are in commercial use. ReFLEX(TM) systems provide both data messaging and two-way wireless messaging, while InFLEXion(TM) systems enable one-way voice capability as well as two-way high-speed data transmission. In September, the group also announced the PageWriter(TM) two-way pager. This is the world's first pager with a standard QWERTY-type keyboard, and is based on the Platform Software Division's Memos(TM) open operating system which was designed for wireless messaging de- vices. Also, the group began shipping the Tenor(TM) advanced voice pager which accepts and stores voice messages and operates like a portable answering ma- chine. The segment's Information Systems Group (ISG) revenue increased, driven en- tirely by unit volume growth. ISG experienced significant pricing pressures in 1996, particularly in the consumer modem market. ISG announced the first in a series of software-based communications prod- ucts, a V.34 data/fax/voice host-base modem that uses a computer's central processing unit to perform modem functions. Also announced was a new Voice Relay(TM) option for the Vanguard(R) 100 Frame Relay Access Device (FRAD). ISG also began shipping the industry's first 33.6 kilobytes-per-second (Kbps) modem/fax/LAN (Local F-5 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - ------------------- Area Network) PC Card. Additionally, ISG announced the Tidal Wave program for upgrading 28.8 or 33.6 Kbps modems to either 56 Kbps or ISDN (Integrated Serv- ices Digital Network) modem technology. The Wireless Data Group (WDG) had modest growth in sales and orders versus a year ago as subscriber growth in the wireless data industry also grew at a mod- est rate in 1996. New product introductions included the Personal Messenger(R) 100C Wireless Modem Card for wide-area communications on the Cellular Digital Packet Data network. In December, WDG announced plans to discontinue sales of its Envoy(R) and Marco(R) personal digital assistants and refocus the technol- ogy toward the corporate market. The segment's Multimedia Group, formed in early 1995, continues to enter a new marketplace made possible by the development of technology and products that enable hybrid fiber coax networks to expand their capacity to carry te- lephony and high-speed data traffic for residential and commercial market- places. This group is still very much in an early developmental phase and made increasingly greater investments in engineering, selling and general adminis- trative functions than in 1995. The group announced its first major interna- tional purchase agreement for CableComm telephony products with Optus Vision of Australia. Motorola also signed contracts to supply the CyberSURFR(TM) cable modems to the top 6 cable operators in the U.S. The Lexicus Division is a supplier of handwriting and speech recognition products which enable the input and retrieval of computer information without the use of a keyboard. Lexicus Division products are in the introduction stage. In 1996, the Lexicus Division announced that its QuickPrint(R) handwriting rec- ognition software and CrystalTalk(TM) speech recognition software were ported to the OS-9(R) Real-Time Operating System from Microware Systems Corporation. OTHER PRODUCTS The Other Products segment primarily includes the Automotive, Energy and Com- ponents Sector (AECS), formerly the Automotive, Energy and Controls Group, and the Space and Systems Technology Group (SSTG), formerly the Government and Space Technology Group. AUTOMOTIVE, ENERGY AND COMPONENTS SECTOR AECS manufactures and sells products in three major categories: automotive and industrial electronics; energy storage products and systems; and printed circuit boards, and ceramic and quartz electronic components. For the year, sector sales declined 5%, orders were 5% lower, and operating profits were lower. Pricing pressures and reduced demand for components and re- chargeable batteries for cellular telephones were the primary factors in the Sector's performance versus a year ago. Automotive and Industrial Electronics Group (AIEG) sales and orders increased over the prior year. AIEG announced a joint venture with Shanghai Instrumenta- tion Corporation of China. Called Motorola Automotive Electronics Company, it will help to build relationships with current and new automotive customers around the world. Milestones during the year for AIEG included production of the group's 200,000th engine controller for Detroit Diesel, and its 10 millionth pressure sensor. AIEG's manufacturing facility in Angers, France received a national quality award from the Mouvement Francais pour la Qualite, the French equiva- lent of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. The group began full production of Ford Motor Company's Lincoln RESCU(TM) system consisting of an emergency communication system employing sophisticated onboard vehicle electronics. The system is designed to provide improved safety and security for motorists and combines Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) lo- cation with voice communication via standard cellular technology to put the driver in touch with a public safety agency or roadside assistance program. In addition, Mercedes-Benz AG announced that it would offer Motorola's emergency messaging and mobile information services in vehicles for the European market. The Energy Products Division (EPD) experienced lower sales and orders. EPD introduced the first single-cell lithium ion battery pack, enabling the StarTAC(TM) cellular telephone to be the smallest, lightest cellular phone on the market. EPD also introduced the new Universal Travel Charger, which pro- vides a small portable charging system for the MicroTAC(R) cellular telephone that can be used with all of the various electrical voltages and currents around the world. EPD expanded its notebook computing products with the intro- duction of the first "smart" computer battery. By enabling full communication between the battery and the notebook computer, the computer can both monitor and control its energy system to achieve maximum performance. In the Components Products Group (CPG), sales and orders were lower. CPG shipped new Multilayer Ceramic Integrated Circuit (MCIC) products. The filters enable cellular telephone manufacturers to continue improving the talk time of their products. The group introduced a temperature compensated crystal oscilla- tor with accepted industry standard packaging that provides higher reliability and reduced cost for digital radio applications. The Sector established the Flat Panel Display Division which made significant progress in commercializing the next generation flat panel display technology. Engineering 5-inch Field Emission Displays were demonstrated and customer sam- pling is expected to begin in the second half of 1997. SPACE AND SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY GROUP The Space and Systems Technology Group (SSTG) is engaged in the design, de- velopment and production of advanced electronic communication systems and prod- ucts for a host of international and domestic commercial and government users. The group changed its name from the Government and Space Technology Group to reflect its emphasis on becoming a premier systems developer and integrator. The group's Satellite Communications Group is developing the IRIDIUM(R) global communications system. Group sales for the year rose 20% due to increased sales by the Satellite Communications Group to Iridium LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Or- ders were 49% higher than a year ago and operating profits were higher. No or- ders from Iridium LLC were booked during the fourth quarter, because orders in previous quarters had reached the present to- F-6 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS --------------------- tal financing available to Iridium LLC. Development of the IRIDIUM global com- munications system continued on schedule, as Motorola met all contractual milestones during the year. At the end of 1996, the Company was a 24% equity owner in Iridium LLC and, during the year, agreed to guarantee up to $750 million of bank financing for a short term credit facility that Iridium LLC is using during the initial technology deployment and regulatory approval phases of the IRIDIUM project. Iridium LLC will require additional funding by May of 1997 to continue to make contractual payments to Motorola. Motorola is negotiating to increase its guarantee of Iridium LLC bank financing and Iridium LLC is negotiating to in- crease its credit facility. These negotiations are expected to be completed in the first half of 1997. Iridium LLC is expected to require other financial support from various sources in order to complete the global communications system, which is expected to take place over the next two years. There can be no assurances as to the outcome of these negotiations. There also can be no assurance that Motorola or any other person will provide funding or financial support. Motorola is the largest investor in Iridium LLC and a failure of Iridium LLC to obtain additional funding would have a material adverse effect on Motorola's investments in Iridium LLC, in several IRIDIUM Gateway companies and in ancillary products. In addition, the Company will have significant con- tractual and financial obligations remaining under several subcontracts in the event that Iridium LLC is unable to obtain additional funding. The start of satellite launches is currently expected to begin in the second quarter of 1997. Depreciation expense for IRIDIUM satellites, which are ex- pected to be depreciated over five years, will begin upon first launch and in- crease steadily as more of the 66 satellite constellation is placed into orbit. A significant increase in staffing and operating expenses for Iridium LLC also will be necessary in 1997 as the company proceeds toward the start of commercial service in the fourth quarter of 1998. As a result, Iridium LLC's losses are expected to increase by several hundred million dollars in 1997 versus 1996. While these expenses are reported by Iridium LLC, since Motorola is a 24% owner of the company, Motorola must use the equity method of account- ing for its investment and record its 24% share of Iridium LLC's losses as a writedown against the investment in Iridium LLC. This writedown is expected to affect Motorola's selling, general and administrative expense. The Company has executed three contracts with Iridium LLC for the construc- tion and operation of the global communications system, providing for approxi- mately $6.5 billion in payments to Motorola over a ten-year period which began in 1993. The Company has in turn entered into significant subcontracts for portions of the system, for which it will remain generally obligated even if Iridium LLC is unable to satisfy the terms of the contracts with the Company, including funding. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash provided by operations reached a record $4.19 billion in 1996 com- pared with $3.29 billion in 1995 and $2.55 billion in 1994. The increase is primarily due to reductions in accounts receivable and inventory balances. The Company expects cash provided by operations to increase in 1997 but at a slower rate than in 1996. The number of weeks that accounts receivable were outstanding was reduced to 6.7 for 1996 from 7.0 for 1995 and 6.8 for 1994. Inventory turns increased to 5.6 in 1996 from 4.7 in 1995. The Company's ratio of net debt to net debt plus equity was 13.4% at Decem- ber 31, 1996 compared with 19.9% in 1995 and 12.1% in 1994. The lower ratio for 1996 reflects improvements of results in receivable weeks outstanding, and a reduction in inventories and fixed asset expenditures. The Company and its finance subsidiary have one- and five-year revolving do- mestic credit agreements with a group of banks for $2 billion. These agree- ments contain various conditions, covenants and representations. At December 31, 1996, the Company's total U.S. and non-U.S. credit facilities aggregated $4.5 billion, of which $461 million were used and the remaining $4.0 billion were not drawn, but were available to back up outstanding commercial paper which totaled $970 million at December 31, 1996. Capital expenditures required to support current and long-term growth de- creased to $3.0 billion from $4.2 billion in 1995 primarily because of deci- sions to halt or delay building expansion and new construction. The 1994 expenditures totaled $3.3 billion. The Semiconductor Products segment contin- ues to comprise the largest portion of fixed asset expenditures, with approxi- mately 50% of all such investments in 1996. The Company's capital expenditures for 1997 are expected to be flat. A discussion of the Company's commitments and contingencies is detailed in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes in this Proxy State- ment. IRIDIUM(R) is a registered trademark of Iridium LLC. PowerPC(R) is a regis- tered trademark of IBM Corporation. All other brand names mentioned are regis- tered trademarks or trademarks of their respective holders, and are herein acknowledged. OTHER MATTERS Environmental Matters: A discussion of the Company's environmental matters is detailed in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes in this Proxy Statement. Research and Development: Expenditures increased to $2.39 billion in 1996, up from $2.20 billion in 1995 and $1.86 billion in 1994. Over the past three years, the Company has invested 8% to 9% of every sales dollar in product de- velopment and technological advances, and continues to believe that a strong commitment to research and development is required to drive long-term growth. SEC Discussions: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has recently contacted the Company about the accounting treatment by the Company for the sale in July 1995 of its 800 megahertz Specialized Mobile Radio businesses, systems and licenses to Nextel Communications, Inc. for shares of Nextel stock. The transaction was accounted for as an exchange of productive assets with no gain realized in the Company's 1995 Statement of Consolidated Earn- F-7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - ------------------ ings but with the Nextel Stock carried at its fair market value with the unrealized gain on the stock reported directly to stockholders' equity as part of the Company's holding of marketable securities. The SEC asserts that the Company should have recognized a gain by accounting for the transaction at fair value with income statement recognition. The gain recognition proposed by the SEC is not expected to materially impact the Company's 1995 or 1996 Con- solidated Balance Sheet because the impact of unrealized gains and losses re- lated to the Nextel stock was recorded in Stockholders' Equity during 1995 and 1996. The Company believes that its treatment of the transaction is appropri- ate, but is considering the SEC's position on the matter. If the Company adopts the SEC's position, the Company would have recorded a gain of approxi- mately $429 million (net of taxes) in the third quarter of 1995. In that event, the Company believes it would have been necessary to recognize the de- cline in the share price of the Nextel stock between the time of the transac- tion and December 31, 1995 as a realized loss of approximately $157 million (net of taxes) in the fourth quarter of 1995. As a result, 1995 earnings be- fore income taxes would have increased from $2,782 million to approximately $3,200 million and 1995 fully diluted net earnings per common and common equivalent share would have increased from $2.93 to approximately $3.38. The Company has not concluded that it will change the accounting treatment of the Nextel transaction, but if it decides to do so, will make all appropriate fil- ings with the SEC to disclose the change. BUSINESS RISK FACTORS With the exception of historical facts, the statements contained in Manage- ment's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Opera- tions are forward looking statements based on current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward looking statements in this commentary include, but are not limited to, statements about: (i) the global economic outlook and growth in the developed world; the cyclical rebound in the semi- conductor business; the outlook for the communications businesses; investment plans in 1997 and the expected benefit from those investments; 1997 deprecia- tion expenses and fixed asset expenditures; and the impact of certain account- ing changes in the section "Motorola, Inc., 1996 Compared With 1995," (ii) the impact of large system orders on CIG in the discussion of General Systems Products, (iii) the recessionary cycle in the semiconductor business and 1997 order and revenue growth; underutilized capacity; average selling prices and likelihood of double-digit operating margins in 1997; the competitive impact of alliances between competitors; timing of the first production at the joint venture facility in Richmond, Va. and expected 1997 capital investments, in the Semiconductor Products discussion, (iv) the impact of large system orders in the Land Mobile Products discussion, and (v) Iridium LLC financings and 1997 staffing and operating expenses for Iridium LLC in the Space and Systems Technology discussion. Motorola wishes to caution the reader that the following important factors, and those important factors described elsewhere in the commentary, or in other Securities and Exchange Commission filings, could affect (and in some cases have affected) Motorola's actual results and could cause such results to dif- fer materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by, or on behalf of, Motorola: . The trend towards increasingly large systems contracts for CIG and LMPS infrastructure equipment and the resulting reliance on large customers, the technological risks of such contracts, especially when the contracts involve new technology such as CDMA, and financial risks to Motorola un- der these contracts, including the difficulty of projecting costs associ- ated with large contracts; . Increasing demand for vendor financing of equipment sales particularly for infrastructure equipment sold by CIG, LMPS and MSPG and the ability of these businesses to provide financing on competitive terms with other vendors; . Pricing pressure on digital cellular subscriber products and cellular in- frastructure equipment and the impact on sales margins for those items; . The ability of the semiconductor industry to sustain a rebound and the ability of Motorola's semiconductor business to capitalize on that re- bound and compete in the highly competitive semiconductor business. Fac- tors that could affect Motorola's ability to compete are production inefficiencies and higher costs related to underutilized facilities, both wholly-owned and joint venture facilities; shortage of manufacturing ca- pacity; start-up expenses, inefficiencies and delays and increased depre- ciation costs in connection with the capital investments in 1997 for facilities in Korea, China, Arizona and Texas; competitive factors, such as rival chip architectures, mix of products, acceptance of new products and price pressures; risk of inventory obsolescence due to shifts in mar- ket demand; and the effect of lower orders from Motorola's other busi- nesses such as the Cellular Subscriber Sector and the Automotive, Energy and Components Sector; . The ability of the Company to develop the consumer paging market and suc- cess at making the FLEX(TM) family of communication protocols the de facto worldwide standard in high speed messaging technology; . The risks related to the IRIDIUM(R) project including: the ability of in- vestors to timely obtain licenses and sign agreements for, and to market, the service, to timely receive and, as appropriate, operate and sell telecommunications equipment and to otherwise timely finance and operate a successful telecommunications business; the successful and timely or- biting of the project's low-earth orbit satellites and the successful and timely operation of such satellites and related ground equipment; the ability of Iridium LLC to raise the significant funds it needs during at least the next few years to continue to make contractual payments to Mo- torola and to make debt payments and otherwise operate, including raising needed funds in early 1997; the outcome of Motorola's and Iridium LLC's negotiations to increase Iridium LLC's bank financing and Motorola's guarantee; the risks associated with the large IRIDIUM systems contracts and F-8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ------------------- the financial risk to Motorola under those contracts, including the diffi- culty in projecting costs associated with those contracts; the market ac- ceptance (both on its own and when compared to possible competitors) of what is expected to be the first worldwide global satellite-based communi- cation service and of the related equipment; and the significant techno- logical and other risks associated with the development and commercial operation of the project, including any software and support systems-re- lated risks; . The risks related to the Company's significant investment in developing and introducing new products such as two-way and voice paging, CDMA for cellular and PCS systems, wireless local loop, flat panel display prod- ucts, telephony and high-speed cable products, integrated digital radios and next generation DRAMS and other semiconductor products. Factors in- clude difficulties and delays in the development, production, testing and marketing of products; customer acceptance of products, particularly as the Company's focus on the consumer market increases; and the ability of the Company to differentiate its products; . Because more than half of the Company's sales are outside the U.S., the Company's results could be significantly affected by weak economic condi- tions in countries in which it does significant business and by changes in foreign currency exchange rates affecting those countries; . The ability of the Company to predict the impact of new accounting posi- tions and standards, particularly related to future environmental liabil- ities of the Company; . The effect of, and change in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies, laws and regulations, other activities of U.S. and non-U.S. governments, agen- cies and similar organizations, and social and economic conditions, af- fecting the Company's operations, including emerging markets in Asia and Latin America and other emerging markets; and . The outcome of pending and future litigation and the protection and va- lidity of patents and other intellectual property rights.

F-10 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --------------------- MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Management is responsible for the preparation, integrity and objectivity of the consolidated financial statements and other financial information pre- sented in this report. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, applying certain estimates and judgments as required. Motorola's internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the integrity and reliability of the financial statements and to adequately safeguard, verify and maintain accountability of assets. Such controls are based on established written policies and procedures, are implemented by trained, skilled personnel with an appropriate segregation of duties and are monitored through a comprehensive internal audit program. These policies and procedures prescribe that the Company and all its employees are to maintain the highest ethical standards and that its business practices throughout the world are to be conducted in a manner which is above reproach. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, independent auditors, are retained to audit Motorola's financial statements. Their accompanying report is based on audits conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which in- clude the consideration of the Company's internal controls to establish a ba- sis for reliance thereon in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests to be applied. The Board of Directors exercises its responsibility for these financial statements through its Audit Committee, which consists entirely of independent non-management Board members. The Audit Committee meets periodically with the independent auditors and with the Company's internal auditors, both privately and with management present, to review accounting, auditing, internal controls and financial reporting matters. /s/ Christopher B.

Koenemann Chief Executive Officer Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Motorola, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Motorola, Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of consolidated earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing stan- dards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of mate- rial misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence sup- porting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement pre- sentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opin- ion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Motorola, Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the re- sults of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally ac- cepted accounting principles. /s/ KPMG Peat Marwick LLP KPMG Peat Marwick LLP Chicago, Illinois January 9, 1997, except as to Note 9, which is as of March 14, 1997 F-11 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------- MOTOROLA, INC.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. F-14 MOTOROLA, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES (In millions, except as noted) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------ ------------------ 1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONSOLIDATION AND INVESTMENTS: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all those majority-owned subsidiaries where the Company has control. The Company's non-controlled investments in entities in which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for by the equity method. Accordingly, the Company's share of the net earnings of these entities is included in consoli- dated net income. The Company's non-controlled investments in other entities are carried at cost. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," requires the carrying value of certain cost-based investments to be adjusted to fair value, which resulted in the Company recording an increase to stockholders' eq- uity, other assets and deferred taxes of $242 million, $401 million and $159 million as of December 31, 1996; and of $328 million, $543 million and $215 million as of December 31, 1995. CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers all highly liquid investments pur- chased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equiva- lents. REVENUE RECOGNITION: The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method to recognize revenues and costs associated with most long-term contracts. For con- tracts involving certain new technologies, revenues and profits or parts thereof are deferred until technological feasibility is established, customer acceptance is obtained and other contract-specific factors have been completed. For other product sales, revenue is recognized at the time of shipment, and re- serves are established for price protection and cooperative marketing programs with distributors. INVENTORIES: Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost (which ap- proximates computation on a first-in, first-out basis) or market (i.e., net re- alizable value or replacement cost). As of December 31, 1996, contract field inventories (inventory held by the customer for which no sale has yet been re- corded) were $222 million. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded principally using the declining-balance method, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets (buildings and building equipment, 5-50 years; machinery and equipment, 2-12 years). FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: The Company's European and Japanese operations and certain non-consolidated affiliates use the respective local currencies, instead of the U.S. dollar, as the functional currency. For all other opera- tions, the Company uses the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. The effects of translating the financial position and results of operations of local func- tional currency operations are included in stockholders' equity. The effects of foreign currency transactions and of remeasuring the financial position and re- sults of non-U.S. operations into the functional currency are included in the statement of earnings. USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and lia- bilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of fi- nancial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and con- centrations in products, sources of supply and markets which could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company. RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain amounts in prior years' financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation. 2.INCOME TAXES Components of earnings before income taxes

Income tax payments were $506 million in 1996, $947 million in 1995 and $962 million in 1994. Except for certain earnings that Motorola, Inc. intends to reinvest indefi- nitely, provisions have been made for the cumulative estimated U.S. federal in- come tax liabilities applicable to undistributed earnings of affiliates and associated companies. Undistributed earnings for which no U.S. income tax has been provided aggregated $4.0 billion and $3.5 billion at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Should these earnings be distributed, foreign tax credits may reduce the additional U.S. income tax which would be payable. In cases where taxes are provided on such undistributed earnings, those taxes have been included in U.S. income taxes. At December 31, 1996, certain non-U.S. subsidiaries had loss carryforwards for income tax reporting purposes of $141.6 million, with expiration dates starting in 1997. Differences between income tax expense computed at the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% for 1996, 1995 and 1994 and income taxes provided on earnings

Gross deferred tax assets were $2,264 million and $1,753 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Gross deferred tax liabilities were $1,792 million and $1,499 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The deferred tax assets are considered realizable given past income and esti- mates of future income. These considerations include, but are not limited to, carrybacks, earnings trends and tax planning strategies. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has examined the federal income tax re- turns for Motorola, Inc. through 1987 and has settled the respective returns through 1985. The IRS has completed its field audit of the years 1986 and 1987. In connection with the 1986 and 1987 tax years, the Company settled the return for adjustments agreed to at the field level. Certain adjustments were referred to the Appeals level of the IRS and are expected to result in a net refund. The IRS is currently reviewing the 1988 through 1991 period and has proposed cer- tain adjustments. In the opinion of the Company's management, the final dispo- sition of these matters, and proposed adjustments from other tax authorities, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations of the Company. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES Long-term debt

As of December 31, 1996, the outstanding zero coupon notes due 2009, referred to as Liquid Yield Option(TM) Notes (LYONs(TM)), had a face value at maturity of $62 million. The 2009 LYONs were priced at a 6% yield to maturity and are now convertible into 18.268 shares of Motorola common stock for each $1,000 note. During 1996, various holders of the 2009 LYONs exercised conversion rights for approximately 14,000 notes ($14 million face value; $6.5 million net carrying value). At December 31, 1996, the LYONs due 2013 had a face value of approximately $480 million at maturity. The 2013 LYONs were priced to yield 2.25% to maturity and are convertible into 11.178 shares of Motorola common stock for each $1,000 note. The LYONs issues are subordinated to all existing and future senior indebted- ness of the Company, rank on a parity with each other, and may be put back to the Company by the holders on specific dates prior to the stated maturities. During December 1995, the Company filed and declared effective a universal shelf registration statement totaling $1.0 billion of debt and equity securi- ties with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of December 31, 1996, no securities have been issued under this universal shelf registration statement. Aggregate requirements for long-term debt maturities, in millions, during the next five years are as follows: 1997, $47; 1998, $25; 1999, $21; 2000, $3; 2001, $2. The Company and its finance subsidiary have one- and five- year revolving do- mestic credit agreements with a group of banks for $2.0 billion. These domestic credit agreements contain various conditions, covenants and representations. At December 31, 1996, the Company's total domestic and non-U.S. credit facilities aggregated $4.3 billion, of which $461 million were used and the remaining $3.8 billion were not drawn, but were available to back up outstanding commercial paper which totaled $970 million at December 31, 1996. Outstanding letters of credit aggregated approximately $175 million and $285 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. LYONs is a trademark of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. F-16 MOTOROLA, INC.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company uses financial instruments to hedge, and therefore attempt to re- duce, its overall exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on cash flows. The Company does not speculate in financial instruments for profit on the exchange rate price fluctuation, trade in currencies for which there are no underlying exposures, or enter into trades for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure. The Company's strategy is to offset the gains or losses of the financial in- struments against losses or gains on the underlying operational cash flows or investments based on the operating business units' assessment of risk. Gains and losses on hedges of existing assets or liabilities are marked to market on a monthly basis. Other gains or losses on financial instruments that do not qualify as hedges are recognized immediately as income or expense. Currently, the Company primarily hedges firm commitments. Gains and losses on financial instruments which hedge firm future commitments are deferred until such time as the underlying transactions are recognized or immediately when the transaction is no longer expected to occur. The Company expects that there could be hedges of anticipated transactions in the future. Many of the Company's non-functional currency receivables and payables are denominated in major currencies which can be traded on open markets that are hedged. Some of the Company's exposure is to currencies which are not traded on open markets, such as those in Latin America and China, and these are address- ed, to the extent reasonably possible, through managing net asset positions, product pricing, and other means, such as component sourcing. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had net outstanding foreign ex- change contracts totaling $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. Most of the hedge contracts, which are over-the-counter instruments, mature within three months with the longest maturity extending out two years. Management be- lieves that these financial instruments should not subject the Company to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these con- tracts should offset losses and gains on the assets, liabilities and transac- tions being hedged. At December 31, 1996, deferred gains totaled $1.5 million and deferred losses totaled $2.1 million. At December 31, 1995, deferred gains totaled $1.5 million and deferred losses totaled $0.5 million.

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses if counterparties to finan- cial instruments fail to perform their obligations. However, it does not expect any counterparties, which presently have high credit ratings, to fail to meet their obligations. At December 31, 1996, the Company had no outstanding interest rate swaps or options. F-17 MOTOROLA, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In millions, except as noted) - ------------------- ------------------------ FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments include accounts receivable, short-term investments, long-term finance receivables, accounts payable, notes payable, long-term debt, foreign currency contracts and other financing commitments. At December 31, 1996, the fair value of the convertible zero coupon notes due 2013 was $397 million compared to a carrying value of $330 million. The con- vertible zero coupon notes due 2013 will be callable by the Company commencing September 1998. The fair values of financial instruments have been determined based on quoted market prices and market interest rates as of December 31, 1996 or were not materially different than their carrying (or contract) values. FINANCE SUBSIDIARY The Company's finance subsidiary purchases customer obligations under long- term contracts from the Company at net carrying value. The finance subsidiary's interest revenue is included in the Company's con- solidated net sales. Interest expense totaled $14 million in 1996 and $15 mil- lion in 1995 and 1994 and is included in manufacturing and other costs of sales. In addition, long-term finance receivables of $289 million in 1996 and $290 million in 1995 are included in other assets. Financial Data of Consolidated Finance Subsidiary

LEASES The Company owns most of its major facilities, but does lease certain of- fice, factory and warehouse space, land, and data processing and other equip- ment under principally noncancelable operating leases. Rental expense, net of sublease income, was $279 million in 1996, $222 million in 1995 and $185 mil- lion in 1994. At December 31, 1996, future minimum lease obligations, net of minimum sublease rentals, for the next five years and beyond, in millions, are as follows: 1997, $178; 1998, $148; 1999, $96; 2000, $69; 2001, $44; beyond, $142. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.EMPLOYEE BENEFIT AND INCENTIVE PLANS PENSION BENEFITS The Company's noncontributory pension plan covers most U.S. employees after one year of service. The benefit formula is dependent upon employee earnings and years of service. The Company's policy is to fund the accrued pension cost or the amount allowable based on the full funding limitations of the Internal Revenue Code, if less. The Company has a noncontributory supplemental retire- ment benefit plan for its elected officers. The plan contains provisions for funding the participants' expected retirement benefits when the participants meet the minimum age and years of service requirements. Certain non-U.S. subsidiaries have varying types of retirement plans provid- ing benefits for substantially all of their employees. Amounts charged to earnings for all non-U.S. plans were $103 million in 1996, $82 million in 1995 and $68 million in 1994. The Company uses a three-year, market-related asset value method of amortiz- ing asset-related gains and losses. Net transition amounts and prior service costs are being amortized over periods ranging from 10 to 15 years. Benefits under all U.S. pension plans are valued based upon the projected unit credit cost method. The assumptions used to develop the projected benefit obligations for the plans for 1996 and 1995 were as follows:
1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Discount rate for obligations 7.75% 7.75% Future compensation increase rate 4.50% 4.50% Investment return assumption (regular) 9.00% 9.00% Investment return assumption (elected officers) 6.00% 6.50% - ------------------------------------------------------------
Accounting literature requires discount rates to be established based on prevailing market rates for high-quality fixed-income instruments that, if the pension benefit obligation was settled at the measurement date, would provide the necessary future cash flows to pay the benefit obligation when due. As of December 31, 1996, the investment portfolio was predominantly equity invest- ments, which have historically realized annual returns at or significantly above the assumed investment return rate. The Company believes that discount rate fluctuations are short-term in nature and should not adversely affect the Company's long-term obligation.

The net U.S. pension expense for the elected officers' supplemental retire- ment benefit plan was $39 million in 1996, $31 million in 1995 and $27 million in 1994. The net U.S. pension expense for the Motorola Supplemental Pension Plan was $2 million in 1996 and 1995. No expense was incurred in 1994. F-18 MOTOROLA, INC.

(1) Includes the Motorola Supplemental Pension Plan which became effective Jan- uary 1, 1994. The Plan was established and will be maintained by Motorola, Inc. for the purpose of providing supplemental benefits in excess of the limitation imposed by the Internal Revenue Code on defined benefit plans for certain of its employees (excluding elected officers) who participate in the Motorola, Inc. Pension Plan. POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides certain health care benefits to its retired employees. The majority of its domestic em- ployees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach normal retirement age while working for the Company. The Company's policy is to fund the maximum amount allowable based on funding limitations of the Internal Revenue Code. The assumptions used to develop the accumulated postretirement benefit obli- gation for the retiree health care plan for 1996 and 1995 were as follows:
1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------ Discount rate for obligations 7.75% 7.75% Investment return assumption 9.00% 9.00% - ------------------------------------------
Net retiree health care expense recognized in 1996 was $32 million, $29 mil- lion in 1995 and $26 million in 1994. U.S. funded retiree health care plan

The health care trend rate used to determine the pre-age 65 accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 8.22% for 1996, decreasing to 6% or 5% for medical benefits, depending on the option chosen, by the year 2002 and be- yond. A flat 5% rate per year is used for the post-age 65 obligation. Changing the health care trend rate by one percentage point would change the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by approximately $50 million as of December 31, 1996, and would change the 1996 net retiree health care expense by $6 mil- lion. There are no significant postretirement health care benefit plans outside of the United States. OTHER BENEFITS Profit Sharing Plans: The Company and certain subsidiaries have profit shar- ing plans, principally contributory, in which all eligible employees partici- pate. The Company makes contributions to profit sharing funds in the United States and other nations, which are generally based upon percentages of pretax earnings, as defined, from those operations. Company contributions to all profit sharing plans totaled $118 million, $194 million and $176 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Motorola Executive Incentive Plan: The Company may provide up to 7% of its annual consolidated pretax earnings, as defined in the Motorola Executive In- centive Plan, for the payment of cash incentive awards to key employees. During 1996, $55 million was provided for incentive awards, as compared to $137 mil- lion and $129 million in 1995 and 1994, respectively. Long Range Incentive Program: The Company has a Long Range Incentive Program to reward participating elected officers for the Company's achievement of out- standing long-range performance, based on four performance objectives measured over four-year cycles. These objectives are benchmarked and evaluated against both similar-industry companies and internal Motorola objectives. During 1996 and 1995, respectively, $22 million and $51 million was provided for long-range incentive awards; $18 million and $13 million was disbursed to qualifying par- ticipants in 1996 and 1995, respectively. In 1994, when the current plan was approved and adopted, $12 million was provided and no disbursements were made. F-19 MOTOROLA, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In millions, except as noted) - ------------------ -------------------------- RONA Incentive Program: The RONA (Return On Net Assets employed) Incentive Program is available to eligible employees who are not participating in the Motorola Executive Incentive Plan. RONA awards are earned and paid semiannually to participants and depend, first, on the Company and, in most cases, the major business unit for which the participant works, exceeding a minimum RONA percentage (as determined by the Company) during the six-month period and, second, the extent to which such minimum percentage was exceeded. During 1996, $32 million was provided for RONA awards, as compared to $234 million and $269 million in 1995 and 1994, respectively. Stock Options: The Company applies the provisions of APB 25. The Company has evaluated the proforma effects of the recent accounting pronouncement, SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which was effective for the Company's fiscal year-end 1996. Based on its evaluation, the effects are not material to the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. Under the Company's share option plan, shares of common stock have been made available for grant to certain employees and non-employee directors. Each op- tion granted has an exercise price of 100% of market value on the date of grant and depending upon the vesting schedule is exercisable from one year to four years from the date of grant. Options exercised during 1996 were at per share prices ranging from $8.83 to $58.31. Options outstanding at December 31, 1996 were at per share prices ranging from $9.46 to $79.31. There are approximately 15,900 total current stock option holders. All 1994 amounts and prices have been adjusted to re- flect the 1994 two-for-one stock split. Shares subject to options

Initial satellite launches, which were originally scheduled for January 1997, have been delayed to the second quarter of 1997. Iridium LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, negotiated a $750 million credit facility, which Motorola guaranteed, in 1996 providing it with funding until May 1997. At that time, Iridium LLC will require further funding to con- tinue to make contractual payments to Motorola. As of December 31, 1996, $512 million of the credit facility had been drawn. Motorola is negotiating to in- crease its guarantee of Iridium LLC bank financing, and Iridium LLC is negoti- ating to increase its credit facility. These negotiations are expected to be completed in the first half of 1997. There can be no assurances as to the out- come of these negotiations. In addition, Iridium LLC is expected to require other financial support from various sources in order to complete the global communications system, which is expected to take place over the next two years. There can also be no assurances that Motorola or any other person will provide funding or financial support. At the end of 1996, Motorola was a 24% equity owner and is the largest in- vestor in Iridium LLC. A failure of Iridium LLC to obtain additional funding would materially adversely affect Motorola's investment in Iridium LLC, in several Iridium Gateway companies and in ancillary products. The Company's in- vestment in Iridium LLC and in several Iridium Gateway companies, which is ap- proximately $537 million, is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet category "Other Assets." The Company has executed three contracts with Iridium LLC for the construc- tion and operation of the global communications system, providing for approxi- mately $6.5 billion in payments to Motorola over a ten-year period which began in 1993. The Company has in turn entered into significant subcontracts for portions of the system, for which it will generally remain obligated even if Iridium LLC is unable to satisfy the terms of the contracts with the Company, including funding. Except as noted above, the Company had no significant con- centrations of credit risk as of December 31, 1996. The Company has entered into arrangements whereby the Company may increase, for an amount up to approximately $140 million, its percentage interest in certain non-consolidated affiliates at the option of Motorola or its respec- tive partners at various dates which do not extend beyond 1998. Other off-balance-sheet commitments to extend or guarantee financing and re- course obligations under receivable sales arrangements which represent firm obligations at December 31, 1996 and 1995, aggregated approximately $725 mil- lion and $858 million, respectively. Commitments to extend or guarantee fi- nancing include commitments for customer financing and for the financing of non-consolidated affiliates. Customer financing commitments require the cus- tomer to meet certain conditions established in the financing arrangements. Commitments represent the maximum amounts available under these arrangements and may not be completely utilized. Environmental and Legal: Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Com- pensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA, or Superfund), the Company has been designated as a potentially responsible party by the United States Environmental Protection Agency with respect F-20 MOTOROLA, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES (In millions, except as noted) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ----------------------- -------------------- to certain waste sites with which the Company may have had direct or indirect involvement. Such designations are made regardless of the extent of the Company's involvement. These claims are in various stages of administrative or judicial proceedings. They include demands for recovery of past governmental costs and for future investigations or remedial actions. In many cases, the dollar amounts of the claims have not been specified, and have been asserted against a number of other entities for the same cost recovery or other relief as was asserted against the Company. The Company accrues costs associated with environmental matters when they become probable and reasonably estimable, and these totaled $87 million and $86 million as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The amount of such charges to earnings was $29 million, $24 mil- lion and $20 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. However, due to their uncertain nature, the amounts accrued could differ, perhaps significant- ly, from the actual costs that will be incurred. These amounts assume no sub- stantial recovery of costs from any insurer. The remedial efforts include environmental cleanup costs and communication programs. These liabilities rep- resent only the Company's share of any possible costs incurred in environmen- tal cleanup sites, since in most cases, potentially responsible parties other than the Company may exist. The Company is a defendant in various suits, including environmental and product-related suits, and is subject to various claims which arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposi- tion of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consoli- dated financial position, liquidity or results of operations of the Company. IRIDIUM(R) is a registered trademark and service mark of Iridium LLC - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. INFORMATION BY INDUSTRY SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC REGION The Company operates predominantly in the wireless communication, semicon- ductor technology and advanced electronics industries. Operations involve the design, manufacture and sale of a diversified line of products, which include, but are not limited to, cellular phones and systems, semiconductors, including discrete semiconductors and integrated circuits; two-way radios, pagers, data communication, personal communications equipment and systems; automotive, de- fense and space electronic products; and computer equipment. As of December 31, 1996, manufacturing and distribution operations in any one non-U.S. coun- try did not account for more than 10% of consolidated net sales or total as- sets. Sales and operating profits by geographical area are measured by the locale of the revenue-producing operations. Operating profits (revenues less operat- ing expenses) exclude general corporate expenses, net interest and income tax- es. Intersegment and intergeographic transfers are accounted for on an arm's length pricing basis. Identifiable assets (excluding intersegment receivables) are the Company's assets that are identified with classes of similar products or operations in each geographic area. Corporate assets primarily include cash, marketable se- curities, equity investments and the administrative headquarters of the Compa- ny. In 1996, no single customer or group under common control represented 10% or more of the Company's sales. The equity in net assets of non-U.S. subsidiaries amounted to $6.2 billion at December 31, 1996 and $5.5 billion at December 31, 1995. Information for 1994 has been reclassified to reflect the realignment of various business units. The Messaging, Information and Media Products segment includes the Paging Products and Wireless Data groups (formerly reported as part of the Communications segment) and the Information Systems Group (for- merly reported as part of the Other Products segment). Land Mobile Products (formerly reported as part of the Communications segment) is a separate re- portable segment.

AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES (In millions, except as noted) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ----------------------- -------------------- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN Each outstanding share of common stock carries with it one-quarter of a pre- ferred share purchase right. Each right becomes exercisable for $150 (subject to adjustment) for one-thousandth share of junior participating preferred stock, if a person or group acquires 20% or more of the outstanding common stock or announces an offer for 30% or more of the outstanding common stock. If a person or group acquires 20% or more of the outstanding common stock and in certain other circumstances, each right (except, in some cases, those held by an acquiror) becomes exercisable for common stock (or that of the acquiror) with a market value of twice the exercise price. In some cases, the Board of Directors may exchange rights for shares of common stock (or the equivalent) and may suspend the rights' exercisability. The rights have no voting power, expire in November 1998, and may be redeemed for $.05 per right prior to a public announcement that 20% or more of the outstanding common stock has been accumulated by a person or group. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. DISCUSSIONS WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has recently contacted the Com- pany about the accounting treatment by the Company for the sale in July 1995 of its 800 megahertz Specialized Mobile Radio businesses, systems and licenses to Nextel Communications, Inc. for shares of Nextel stock. The transaction was accounted for as an exchange of productive assets with no gain realized in the Company's 1995 Statement of Consolidated Earnings but with the Nextel Stock carried at its fair market value with the unrealized gain on the stock re- ported directly to stockholders' equity as part of the Company's holding of marketable securities. The SEC asserts that the Company should have recognized a gain by accounting for the transaction at fair value with income statement recognition. The gain recognition proposed by the SEC is not expected to mate- rially impact the Company's 1995 or 1996 Consolidated Balance Sheet because the impact of unrealized gains and losses related to the Nextel stock was re- corded in Stockholders' Equity during 1995 and 1996. The Company believes that its treatment of the transaction is appropriate, but is considering the SEC's position on the matter. If the Company adopts the SEC's position, the Company would have recorded a gain of approximately $429 million (net of taxes) in the third quarter of 1995. In that event, the Company believes it would have been necessary to recognize the decline in the share price of the Nextel stock be- tween the time of the transaction and December 31, 1995 as a realized loss of approximately $157 million (net of taxes) in the fourth quarter of 1995. As a result, 1995 earnings before income taxes would have increased from $2,782 million to approximately $3,200 million and 1995 fully diluted net earnings per common and common equivalent share would have increased from $2.93 to ap- proximately $3.38. The Company has not concluded that it will change the ac- counting treatment of the Nextel transaction, but if it decides to do so, will make all appropriate filings with the SEC to disclose the change.
