(Dollars in millions, except as noted)

1. Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 27, 2008 and for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. Certain amounts in prior period financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

During the three months ended September 27, 2008, the Company recorded investment impairment charges of $150 million, of which $141 million of charges were attributed to other-than-temporary declines in certain Sigma Fund investments, resulting from our positions in Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Washington Mutual, Inc. and Sigma Finance Corporation (“SFC”), a special investment vehicle managed by United Kingdom based Gordian Knot Limited. During the nine months ended September 27, 2008, the Company recorded investment impairment charges of $288 million, of which $145 million of charges were attributed to other-than-temporary declines in certain Sigma Fund investments and $83 million of charges attributed to an equity security held by the Company as a strategic investment. During the three and nine months ended September 29, 2007, the Company recorded investment impairment charges of $5 million and $36 million, respectively, representing other-than-temporary declines in the value of its investment portfolio.

During the three months ended December 31, 2007, concurrently with the issuance of debt, the Company entered into several interest rate swaps to convert the fixed rate interest cost of the debt to a floating rate. At the time of entering into these interest rate swaps, the swaps were designated as fair value hedges and qualified for hedge accounting treatment. The swaps were originally designated as fair value hedges of the underlying debt, including the Company’s credit spread. During the three months ended March 29, 2008, the swaps were no longer considered effective hedges because of the volatility in the price of the Company’s fixed-rate domestic term debt and the swaps were dedesignated. In the same period, the Company was able to redesignate the same interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of the underlying debt, exclusive of the Company’s credit spread. For the period of time that the swaps were deemed ineffective hedges, the Company recognized a gain of $24 million, representing the increase in the fair value of the swaps.

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share from both continuing operations and net earnings (loss), which includes discontinued operations is computed as follows:

In the computation of diluted earnings per common share from both continuing operations and on a net earnings basis for the three months ended September 29, 2007, 117.9 million out-of-the-money stock options were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended September 27, 2008 and the nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, the Company was in a net loss position, and accordingly, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are equal because any increase to the basic shares would be antidilutive. In the computation of diluted loss per common share from both continuing operations and on a net loss basis for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and the nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, the assumed exercise of 209.0 million, 193.7 million, and 108.2 million stock options, respectively, were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

As of September 27, 2008, the fair market value of the Sigma Fund was $3.9 billion, of which $3.4 billion has been classified as current and $483 million has been classified as non-current, compared to a fair market value of $5.2 billion at December 31, 2007, all classified as current. During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2008, the Company recorded a net unrealized loss of $26 million and $63 million, respectively, in the available-for-sale securities held in the Sigma Fund. The total net unrealized loss on the Sigma Fund portfolio at the end of September 27, 2008 was $120 million, of which $42 million relates to securities classified as current and $78 million relates to securities classified as non-current. As of December 31, 2007, the net unrealized loss on the Sigma Fund portfolio was $57 million, all classified as current. The unrealized losses have been reflected as a reduction in Non-owner changes to equity.

As of September 27, 2008, $483 million of Sigma Fund investments have been classified as non-current because they have maturities greater than 12 months, the market values are below cost and the Company plans to hold the securities until they recover to cost or until maturity. The Company believes this decline is temporary, primarily due to the ongoing disruptions in the capital markets. The weighted average maturity of the Sigma Fund investments classified as non-current (excluding other-than-temporarily impaired securities) was 17 months. Substantially all of these securities (excluding other-than-temporarily impaired securities) have investment grade ratings and, accordingly, the Company believes it is

Subsequent to September 27, 2008, there has been a further decline in the fair value of the Sigma Fund’s SFC securities, which the Company considers other-than-temporary, and will be recorded as an investment impairment in the fourth quarter of 2008. The impairment will be no greater than $43 million, which represents the remaining cost basis of these securities as of September 27, 2008.

Stockholders’ Equity Information

Share Repurchase Program

During the nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, the Company paid an aggregate of $138 million and $2.5 billion, respectively, including transaction costs, to repurchase 9 million and 138 million shares at an average price of $15.32 and $18.02, respectively. The Company did not repurchase any of its shares during the three months ended September 27, 2008. During the three months ended September 29, 2007, the Company paid an aggregate of $118 million, including transaction costs, to repurchase 7 million shares at an average price of $16.90.

Since the inception of its share repurchase program in May 2005, the Company has repurchased a total of 394 million common shares for an aggregate cost of $7.9 billion. All repurchased shares have been retired. As of September 27, 2008, the Company remained authorized to purchase an aggregate amount of up to $3.6 billion of additional shares under the current stock repurchase program. The timing and amount of future purchases will be based on market and other conditions.

3. Income Taxes

The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion at September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Included in these balances were potential benefits of approximately $850 million and $590 million, respectively, that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. During the three months ended September 27, 2008, the Company recorded $46 million in net tax benefits, representing a net reduction in unrecognized tax benefits relating to facts that now indicate the extent to which certain tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained positions, which have become effectively settled or the statute of limitations has expired. During the three months ended September 27, 2008, the Company also recorded a reduction of interest expense of $29 million, relating to the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits.

Based on the potential outcome of the Company’s global tax examinations, or as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will decrease within the next 12 months. The associated net tax benefits, which would favorably impact the effective tax rate, are estimated to be in the range of $250 million to $350 million and are not expected to result in any significant net cash payments by the Company.

The Company is currently contesting significant tax adjustments related to transfer pricing for the 1996 through 2003 tax years at the appellate level of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The Company disagrees with all of these proposed transfer pricing-related adjustments and intends to vigorously dispute them through applicable IRS and judicial procedures, as appropriate. However, if the IRS were to ultimately prevail on these matters, it could result in: (i) additional taxable income for the years 1996 through 2000 of approximately $1.4 billion, which could result in additional income tax liability for the Company of approximately $500 million, and (ii) additional taxable income for the years 2001 and 2002 of approximately $800 million, which could result in additional income tax liability for the Company of approximately $300 million. The IRS is currently reviewing a claim for additional research tax credits for the years 1996-2003. The IRS completed its field examination of the Company’s 2004 and 2005 tax returns in July 2008, and there are no significant unagreed issues. The Company also has several other Non-U.S. income tax audits pending.

Although the final resolution of the Company’s global tax disputes is uncertain, based on current information, in the opinion of the Company’s management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, an unfavorable resolution of the Company’s global tax disputes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations in the periods in which the matters are ultimately resolved.

During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2008, aggregate contributions of $4 million and $14 million, respectively, were made to the Company’s postretirement healthcare fund.

The Company maintains a number of endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies that were taken out on now-retired officers under a plan that was frozen prior to December 31, 2004. The Company had purchased the life insurance policies to insure the lives of employees and then entered into a separate agreement with the employees that split the policy benefits between the Company and the employee. Motorola owns the policies, controls all rights of ownership, and may terminate the insurance policies. To effect the split-dollar arrangement, Motorola endorsed a portion of the death benefits to the employee and upon the death of the employee, the employee’s beneficiary typically receives the designated portion of the death benefits directly from the insurance company and the Company receives the remainder of the death benefits.

The Company adopted the provisions of EITF 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“EITF 06-4”) as of January 1, 2008. EITF 06-4 requires that a liability for the benefit obligation be recorded because the promise of postretirement benefit had not been settled through the purchase of an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement. As a result of the adoption of EITF 06-4, the Company recorded a liability representing the actuarial present value of the future death benefits as of the employees’ expected retirement date of $45 million with the offset reflected as a cumulative-effect adjustment to January 1, 2008 Retained earnings and Non-owner changes to equity in the amounts of $4 million and $41 million, respectively, in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. It is currently expected that no further cash payments are required to fund these policies.

5. Share-Based Compensation Plans

A summary of share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), employee stock options and employee stock purchases was as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 27,			September 29,			September 27,			September 29,
	2008			2007			2008			2007


Share-based compensation expense included in:
Costs of sales	$	6		$	8		$	24		$	25
Selling, general and administrative expenses		30			48			125			143
Research and development expenditures		18			24			71			71

Share-based compensation expense included in Operating loss		54			80			220			239
Tax benefit		(16	)		(25	)		(68	)		(70	)

Share-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	38		$	55		$	152		$	169

For the three months ended September 27, 2008, the Company granted 5.4 million RSUs, net of forfeitures, and 20.4 million stock options. The total compensation expense related to the RSUs is $48 million, net of forfeitures. The

total compensation expense related to stock options is $84 million, net of estimated forfeitures. The expense for both RSUs and stock options will be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of three years.

For the nine months ended September 27, 2008, the Company has granted 21.1 million RSUs, net of forfeitures, and 27.6 million stock options. The total compensation expense related to the RSUs is $197 million, net of forfeitures. The total compensation expense related to stock options is $106 million, net of estimated forfeitures. The expense for RSUs will be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of four years. The expense for stock options will be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of three years.

6. Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) on January 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not change the accounting for those instruments that were, under previous GAAP, accounted for at cost or contract value. In February 2008, the FASB issued staff position No. 157-2 (“FSP 157-2”), which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 one year for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company has no non-financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 27, 2008. Under FSP 157-2, the Company will apply the measurement of criteria of SFAS 157 to the remaining assets and liabilities no later than the first quarter of 2009.

The Company holds certain fixed income securities, equity securities and derivatives, which must be measured using the SFAS 157 prescribed fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies. SFAS 157 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to each measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about current market conditions. The prescribed fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies are as follows:

Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques, in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The levels of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value were as follows:


September 27, 2008	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total


Assets:
Available-for-sale securities:
Commercial paper	$	—	$	250	$	—	$	250
Government and agencies		—		1,136		—		1,136
Corporate bonds		—		2,042		78		2,120
Asset-backed securities		—		231		—		231
Mortgage-backed securities		—		146		—		146
Common stock and equivalents		281		—		—		281
Derivative assets		—		115		—		115
Liabilities:
Derivative liabilities		—		26		—		26

The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of our Level 3 assets:


	Three			Nine
	Months			Months
September 27, 2008	Ended			Ended


Beginning balance	$	43		$	35
Transfers to Level 3		50			60
Unrealized losses included in Non-owner changes to equity		(15	)		(13	)
Loss recognized as Investment impairment in Other income (expense)		—			(4	)

Ending balance	$	78		$	78

Valuation Methodologies

Quoted market prices in active markets are available for investments in common stock and equivalents and, as such, these investments are classified within Level 1.

The available-for-sale securities classified above as Level 2 are primarily those that are professionally managed within the Sigma Fund. The pricing methodology applied includes a number of standard inputs to the valuation model including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes where the party is standing ready and able to transact, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and other reference data. The valuation model may prioritize these inputs differently at each balance sheet date for any given security, based on the market conditions. Not all of the standard inputs listed will be used each time in the valuation models. For each asset class, quantifiable inputs related to perceived market movements and sector news may be considered in addition to the standard inputs.

In determining the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap derivatives, the Company uses the present value of expected cash flows based on market observable interest rate yield curves commensurate with the term of each instrument and the credit default swap market to reflect the credit risk of either the Company or the counterparty. For foreign currency derivatives, the Company’s approach is to use forward contract and option valuation models employing market observable inputs, such as spot currency rates, time value and option volatilities. Since the Company primarily uses observable inputs in its valuation of its derivative assets and liabilities, they are considered Level 2.

Level 3 fixed income securities are debt securities that do not have actively traded quotes on the date the Company presents its condensed consolidated balance sheets and require the use of unobservable inputs, such as indicative quotes from dealers and qualitative input from investment advisors, to value these securities.

At September 27, 2008, the Company has $640 million of investments in money market mutual funds classified as Cash and cash equivalents in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The money market funds have quoted market prices that are generally equivalent to par.

7. Long-term Customer Financing and Sales of Receivables

Long-term Customer Financing

Long-term receivables consist of trade receivables with payment terms greater than twelve months, long-term loans and lease receivables under sales-type leases. Long-term receivables consist of the following:


	September 27,			December 31,
	2008			2007


Long-term receivables	$	121		$	123
Less allowance for losses		(6	)		(5	)

		115			118
Less current portion		(66	)		(50	)

Non-current long-term receivables, net	$	49		$	68

The current portion of long-term receivables is included in Accounts receivable and the non-current portion of long-term receivables is included in Other assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Certain purchasers of the Company’s infrastructure equipment continue to request that suppliers provide long-term financing, defined as financing with terms greater than one year, in connection with equipment purchases. These requests may include all or a portion of the purchase price of the equipment. However, the Company’s obligation to provide long-term financing is often conditioned on the issuance of a letter of credit in favor of the Company by a reputable bank to support the purchaser’s credit or a pre-existing commitment from a reputable bank to purchase the long-term receivables from the Company. The Company had outstanding commitments to provide long-term financing to third parties totaling $373 million and $610 million at September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Of these amounts, $276 million and $454 million were supported by letters of credit or by bank commitments to purchase long-term receivables at September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

In addition to providing direct financing to certain equipment customers, the Company also assists customers in obtaining financing directly from banks and other sources to fund equipment purchases. The Company had committed to provide financial guarantees relating to customer financing totaling $35 million and $42 million at September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively (including $23 million at both September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007 relating to the sale of short-term receivables). Customer financing guarantees outstanding were $3 million at both September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007 (including $1 million and $0 million at September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, relating to the sale of short-term receivables).

Sales of Receivables

The Company sells accounts receivables and long-term receivables to third parties in transactions that qualify as “true-sales.” Certain of these accounts receivables and long-term receivables are sold to third parties on a one-time, non-recourse basis, while others are sold to third parties under committed facilities that involve contractual commitments from these parties to purchase qualifying receivables up to an outstanding monetary limit. Committed facilities may be revolving in nature and, typically, must be renewed on an annual basis. The Company may or may not retain the obligation to service the sold accounts receivable and long-term receivables.

In the aggregate, at September 27, 2008, these committed facilities provided for up to $1.1 billion to be outstanding with the third parties at any time, as compared to up to $1.4 billion provided at December 31, 2007. As of September 27, 2008, $568 million of the Company’s committed facilities were utilized, compared to $497 million that were utilized at December 31, 2007. Certain events could cause a $400 million committed facility to terminate. In addition, before receivables can be sold under certain of the committed facilities, they may need to meet contractual requirements, such as credit quality or insurability.

Total accounts receivables and long-term receivables sold by the Company were $875 million and $1.1 billion for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively, and $2.5 billion and $3.9 billion for the nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively. As of September 27, 2008, there were $883 million of receivables outstanding under these programs for which the Company retained servicing obligations (including $513 million of accounts receivable), compared to $978 million outstanding at December 31, 2007 (including $587 million of accounts receivable).

Under certain receivables programs, the value of the receivables sold is covered by credit insurance obtained from independent insurance companies, less deductibles or self-insurance requirements under the policies (with the Company retaining credit exposure for the remaining portion). The Company’s total credit exposure to outstanding short-term receivables that have been sold was $23 million at both September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Reserves of $2 million and $1 million were recorded for potential losses at September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

Iridium Program: The Company has been named as one of several defendants in putative class action securities lawsuits arising out of alleged misrepresentations or omissions regarding the Iridium satellite communications business which, on March 15, 2001, were consolidated in the federal district court in the District of Columbia under Freeland v. Iridium World Communications, Inc., et al., originally filed on April 22, 1999. In April 2008, the parties reached an agreement in principle, subject to court approval, to settle all claims against Motorola in exchange for Motorola’s payment of $20 million. During the three months ended March 29, 2008, the Company recorded a charge associated with this

settlement. On October 23, 2008, the court granted final approval of the settlement and dismissed the claims with prejudice.

The Company was sued by the Official Committee of the Unsecured Creditors of Iridium (the “Committee”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Iridium Bankruptcy Court”) on July 19, 2001. In re Iridium Operating LLC, et al. v. Motorola asserted claims for breach of contract, warranty and fiduciary duty and fraudulent transfer and preferences, and sought in excess of $4 billion in damages. On May 20, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court approved a settlement in which Motorola is not required to pay anything, but released its administrative, priority and unsecured claims against the Iridium estate and withdrew its objection to the 2001 settlement between the unsecured creditors of the Iridium Debtors and the Iridium Debtors’ pre-petition secured lenders. This settlement, and its approval by the Bankruptcy Court, extinguished Motorola’s financial exposure and concluded Motorola’s involvement in the Iridium bankruptcy proceedings.

Telsim Class Action Securities: In April 2007, the Company entered into a settlement agreement in regards to In re Motorola Securities Litigation, a class action lawsuit relating to the Company’s disclosure of its relationship with Telsim Mobil Telekomunikasyon Hizmetleri A.S. Pursuant to the settlement, Motorola paid $190 million to the class and all claims against Motorola by the class have been dismissed and released.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recorded a charge of $190 million for the legal settlement, partially offset by $75 million of estimated insurance recoveries, of which $50 million had been tendered by certain insurance carriers. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company commenced actions against the non-tendering insurance carriers. In response to these actions, each insurance carrier who has responded denied coverage citing various policy provisions. As a result of this denial of coverage and related actions, the Company recorded a reserve of $25 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007 against the receivable from insurance carriers. During the three months ended September 27, 2008, the Company received the $50 million tendered by the insurance carriers.

Other: The Company is a defendant in various other suits, claims and investigations that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Other

The Company is also a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which it is obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Some of these obligations arise as a result of divestitures of the Company’s assets or businesses and require the Company to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from the settlement of these pending obligations. The total amount of indemnification under these types of provisions is $149 million, of which the Company accrued $124 million as of September 27, 2008 for potential claims under these provisions.

In addition, the Company may provide indemnifications for losses that result from the breach of general warranties contained in certain commercial and intellectual property. Historically, the Company has not made significant payments under these agreements. However, there is an increasing risk in relation to patent indemnities given the current legal climate.

In indemnification cases, payment by the Company is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to challenge the other party’s claims. Further, the Company’s obligations under these agreements for indemnification based on breach of representations and warranties are generally limited in terms of duration, and for amounts not in excess of the contract value, and, in some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by the Company.

During the three months ended September 27, 2008, the Company recorded a $150 million charge for a settlement of the Freescale Semiconductor purchase commitment.

10. Reorganization of Businesses

employment is involuntarily terminated as a result of a reduction-in-force or restructuring. Each separate reduction-in-force has qualified for severance benefits under the Severance Plan. The Company recognizes termination benefits based on formulas per the Severance Plan at the point in time that future settlement is probable and can be reasonably estimated based on estimates prepared at the time a restructuring plan is approved by management. Exit costs consist of future minimum lease payments on vacated facilities and other contractual terminations. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates its accruals for exit costs and employee separation costs to ensure the accruals are still appropriate. In certain circumstances, accruals are no longer required because of efficiencies in carrying out the plans or because employees previously identified for separation resigned from the Company and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were initiated. The Company reverses accruals through the income statement line item where the original charges were recorded when it is determined they are no longer required.

2008 Charges

During the nine months ended September 27, 2008, the Company committed to implement various productivity improvement plans aimed at achieving long-term, sustainable profitability by driving efficiencies and reducing operating costs.

During the three months ended September 27, 2008, the Company recorded net reorganization of business charges of $36 million, including $5 million of charges in Costs of sales and $31 million of charges under Other charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the aggregate $36 million are charges of $38 million for employee separation costs and $15 million for exit costs, partially offset by $17 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed.

During the nine months ended September 27, 2008, the Company recorded net reorganization of business charges of $165 million, including $41 million of charges in Costs of sales and $124 million of charges under Other charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the aggregate $165 million are charges of $192 million for employee separation costs and $20 million for exit costs, partially offset by $47 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed.

Exit Costs—Lease Terminations

At January 1, 2007, the Company had an accrual of $54 million for exit costs attributable to lease terminations. The 2007 additional charges of $10 million were primarily related to the planned exit of certain activities in Ireland by the Home and Networks Mobility segment. The 2007 adjustments of $2 million represented accruals for exit costs established through purchase accounting for businesses acquired. The $28 million used in 2007 reflected cash payments. The remaining accrual of $38 million, which is included in Accrued liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 29, 2007, represented future cash payments for lease termination obligations.

Employee Separation Costs

At January 1, 2007, the Company had an accrual of $104 million for employee separation costs, representing the severance costs for approximately 2,300 employees. The 2007 additional charges of $311 million represented severance costs for approximately 5,100 employees, of which 1,800 were direct employees and 3,300 were indirect employees.

The adjustments of $55 million reflect $59 million of reversals of accruals no longer needed, partially offset by $4 million of accruals for severance plans established through purchase accounting for businesses acquired. The $59 million of reversals represented previously accrued costs for 1,100 employees, and primarily related to a strategic change regarding a plant closure and specific employees previously identified for separation who resigned from the Company and did not receive severance or who were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were approved. The $4 million of accruals represented severance plans for 200 employees established through purchase accounting for businesses acquired.

During the first nine months of 2007, approximately 4,200 employees, of which 1,300 were direct employees and 2,900 were indirect employees, were separated from the Company. The $195 million used in 2007 reflects cash payments to these separated employees. The remaining accrual of $165 million, which is included in Accrued liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 29, 2007, was expected to be paid to approximately 2,300 separated employees. Since that time, $131 million has been paid to approximately 2,000 separated employees and $28 million has been reversed.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This commentary should be read in conjunction with the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, as well as the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Executive Overview

Our Business

We report financial results for the following business segments:


	•	The Mobile Devices segment designs, manufactures, sells and services wireless handsets with integrated software and accessory products, and licenses intellectual property. In the third quarter of 2008, the segment’s net sales represented 42% of the Company’s consolidated net sales.


	•	The Home and Networks Mobility segment designs, manufactures, sells, installs and services: (i) digital video, Internet Protocol (“IP”) video and broadcast network interactive set-tops (“digital entertainment devices”), end-to-end video delivery solutions, broadband access infrastructure systems, and associated data and voice customer premise equipment (“broadband gateways”) to cable television and telecom service providers (collectively, referred to as the “home business”), and (ii) wireless access systems (“wireless networks”), including cellular infrastructure systems and wireless broadband systems, to wireless service providers. In the third quarter of 2008, the segment’s net sales represented 32% of the Company’s consolidated net sales.

	•	The Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment designs, manufactures, sells, installs and services analog and digital two-way radio, voice and data communications products and systems for private networks, wireless broadband systems and end-to-end enterprise mobility solutions to a wide range of enterprise markets, including government and public safety agencies (which, together with all sales to distributors of two-way communication products, are referred to as the “government and public safety market”), as well as retail, utility, transportation, manufacturing, health care and other commercial customers (which, collectively, are referred to as the “commercial enterprise market”). In the third quarter of 2008, the segment’s net sales represented 27% of the Company’s consolidated net sales.

Third-Quarter Summary


	•	Net Sales were $7.5 Billion: Our net sales were $7.5 billion in the third quarter of 2008, down 15% compared to net sales of $8.8 billion in the third quarter of 2007. Net sales decreased 31% in the Mobile Devices segment, decreased 1% in the Home and Networks Mobility segment and increased 4% in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment.

	•	Operating Loss was $452 Million: We incurred an operating loss of $452 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to an operating loss of $10 million in the third quarter of 2007. Contributing to the operating loss were: (i) excess inventory and other related charges of $370 million due to a decision to consolidate software and silicon platforms in the Mobile Devices segment, (ii) a $150 million charge related to settlement of the Freescale Semiconductor purchase commitment, (iii) $128 million of asset impairment charges, and (iv) $57 million of net charges for other reorganization and separation-related transaction costs.

	•	Loss from Continuing Operations was $397 Million, or $0.18 per Share: We incurred a loss from continuing operations of $397 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2008, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $40 million, or $0.02 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2007.

When discussing the net sales of each of our three segments, we express the segment’s net sales as a percentage of the Company’s consolidated net sales. However, certain of our segments sell products to other Motorola businesses and intracompany sales are eliminated as part of the consolidation process. Therefore, the percentages of consolidated net sales for our business segments do not always sum to 100%.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


	•	Handset Shipments were 25.4 Million Units: We shipped 25.4 million handsets in the third quarter of 2008, a 32% decrease compared to shipments of 37.2 million handsets in the third quarter of 2007 and a 10% decrease sequentially compared to shipments of 28.1 million handsets in the second quarter of 2008.

	•	Global Handset Market Share Estimated at 8.4%: We estimate our share of the global handset market in the third quarter of 2008 to be 8.4%, a decrease of approximately 5 percentage points versus the third quarter of 2007 and a sequential decrease of approximately 1 percentage point versus the second quarter of 2008.

	•	Digital Entertainment Device Shipments were 4.1 million: We shipped 4.1 million digital entertainment devices in the third quarter of 2008, an increase of 52% compared to shipments of 2.7 million units in the third quarter of 2007 and a 20% decrease sequentially compared to shipments of 5.1 million units in the second quarter of 2008.

	•	Operating Cash Flow was $180 Million: We generated $180 million of operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $342 million of operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2007.

Net sales for each of our business segments were as follows:


	•	In Mobile Devices: Net sales were $3.1 billion in the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of $1.4 billion, or 31%, compared to the third quarter of 2007, primarily driven by a 32% decrease in unit shipments. The decrease in unit shipments resulted primarily from product portfolio gaps in critical market segments, especially 3G, including smartphones, and very low-tier products.

	•	In Home and Networks Mobility: Net sales were $2.4 billion in the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of $20 million, or 1%, compared to the third quarter of 2007. This decrease reflects lower net sales of wireless networks, partially offset by higher net sales of digital entertainment devices, driven by a 52% increase in unit shipments, partially offset by lower ASP due to a shift in product mix and pricing pressure.

	•	In Enterprise Mobility Solutions: Net sales were $2.0 billion in the third quarter of 2008, an increase of $76 million, or 4%, compared to the third quarter of 2007, reflecting a 9% increase in net sales to the government and public safety market, primarily driven by: (i) increased net sales outside of North America, and (ii) the net sales generated by Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. (“Vertex Standard”), a business the Company acquired a controlling interest of in January 2008, partially offset by an 8% decrease in net sales to the commercial enterprise market.

Looking Forward

Earlier in the year, the Company announced that it was pursuing the creation of two independent, publicly traded companies: one comprised of our Mobile Devices business and the other comprised of our Home and Networks Mobility and Enterprise Mobility Solutions businesses. The Company remains committed to the separation of the businesses. However, due to the weakened global economic environment and dislocation in the financial markets, as well as changes underway in the Mobile Devices business, the Company is no longer targeting the third quarter of 2009 for the separation of our businesses. The Company has made progress on various elements of the separation plan and will continue efforts to prepare for a potential transaction. We will continue to assess market and business conditions to determine the appropriate timeframe for separation that serves the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Given the macroeconomic environment, the Company will also take additional actions to reduce its cost structure. These actions will be global in nature and impact all of our businesses, as well as our supply chain organization and corporate functions. For more information on specific actions taken, see the discussion under “Cost-Reduction Initiatives Announced on October 30, 2008” later herein. We will continue to take the necessary strategic actions and invest in product innovation as we position Motorola to take advantage of opportunities for future growth and profitability.

In our Mobile Devices business, we expect the overall global handset market to remain intensely competitive with slowing demand. Our primary focus is on enhancing our product portfolio, especially in 3G and the low tier. In addition, we will further simplify our platforms and focus on key markets, including North America, Latin America and certain markets in Asia. These actions are expected to lower our cost structure and result in a more focused, consumer-driven portfolio, reflecting trends in converged devices, the mobile Internet, navigation and messaging. We expect our product portfolio enhancement efforts to demonstrate progress in 2009 and better position Mobile Devices for improved financial results.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In our Home and Networks Mobility business, we are focused on delivering personalized media experiences to consumers at home and on-the-go and enabling service providers to operate their networks more efficiently and profitably. As the market leader in digital video, including digital entertainment devices and end-to-end network solutions, we are positioned to capitalize on demand for high-definition TV and video-on-demand services, as well as the convergence of services and applications across delivery platforms. However, due to the impact that economic conditions, especially in the U.S., may have on demand for services provided by our customers, demand is likely to slow in the home business. In wireless broadband, we will continue our efforts to position ourselves as a leading infrastructure provider of next-generation technologies, including WiMAX and LTE. In wireless cellular networks, we expect the market environment to continue to be highly competitive and challenging.

In our Enterprise Mobility Solutions business, our key objective is profitable growth in enterprise markets around the world. We are the market leader in mission-critical communications solutions and continue to develop next-generation products and solutions for our government and public safety customers. We also utilize our market leadership positions and innovations in mobile computing and scanning to meet customers’ needs in retail, transportation and logistics, utility, manufacturing, healthcare and other commercial industries globally. These business-critical enterprise products and solutions allow our customers to reduce costs, increase worker mobility and productivity, and enhance their customers’ experiences. Our enterprise and government customers are facing uncertain and volatile economic conditions that will likely slow demand in our enterprise, government and public safety businesses. However, we believe that our comprehensive portfolio of products and solutions, market leadership and global distribution network make our Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment well positioned to meet these challenges.

We conduct our business in highly competitive markets. These markets are characterized by rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product introductions, changing consumer trends, short product life cycles and evolving industry standards. Market disruptions, caused by changing macroeconomic conditions, new technologies, the entry of new competitors and consolidations among our customers and competitors, can introduce volatility into our operating performance and cash flow from operations. Meeting all of these challenges requires consistent operational planning and execution and investment in technology, resulting in innovative products that meet the needs of our customers around the world. As we execute on meeting these objectives, we remain focused on designing and delivering differentiated products, unique experiences and powerful networks, along with a full complement of support services that will advance the way the world connects by simplifying and personalizing communications, enhancing mobility, and enabling consumers to connect to people, information, and entertainment.

Net Sales

Net sales were $7.5 billion in the third quarter of 2008, down 15% compared to net sales of $8.8 billion in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in net sales reflects: (i) a $1.4 billion, or 31%, decrease in net sales in the Mobile Devices segment, and (ii) a $20 million, or 1%, decrease in net sales in the Home and Networks Mobility segment, partially offset by a $76 million, or 4%, increase in net sales in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment. The decrease in net sales in the Mobile Devices segment was primarily driven by a 32% decrease in unit shipments. The decrease in net sales in the Home and Networks Mobility segment reflects lower net sales of wireless networks, partially offset by higher net sales of digital entertainment devices, driven by a 52% increase in unit shipments, partially offset by lower ASP due to a shift in product mix and pricing pressure. The increase in net sales in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment reflects a 9% increase in net sales to the government and public safety market, primarily driven by: (i) increased net sales outside of North America, and (ii) the net sales generated by Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. (“Vertex Standard”), a business the Company acquired a controlling interest of in January 2008, partially offset by a 8% decrease in net sales to the commercial enterprise market.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Gross Margin

Gross margin was $1.8 billion, or 24.1% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $2.5 billion, or 28.4% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in gross margin reflects lower gross margin in the Mobile Devices and Home and Networks Mobility segments, partially offset by increased gross margin in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment. The decrease in gross margin in the Mobile Devices segment was primarily driven by: (i) excess inventory and other related charges of $370 million due to a decision to consolidate software and silicon platforms, (ii) the 31% decrease in net sales, and (iii) a $150 million charge related to settlement of the Freescale Semiconductor purchase commitment, partially offset by savings from cost-reduction activities. The decrease in gross margin in the Home and Networks Mobility segment was primarily due to lower gross margin in the wireless networks business, partially offset by higher gross margin in the home business. The increase in gross margin in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment was primarily driven by the 4% increase in net sales and a favorable product mix.

The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007 was driven by decreases in the Mobile Devices and Home and Networks Mobility segments, partially offset by an increase in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment. The Company’s overall gross margin as a percentage of net sales can be impacted by the proportion of overall net sales generated by its various businesses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased 14% to $1.0 billion, or 14.0% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $1.2 billion, or 13.7% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in SG&A expenses reflects lower SG&A expenses in all segments. The decrease in the Mobile Devices segment was primarily driven by lower marketing expenses and savings from cost-reduction initiatives. The decreases in the Home and Networks Mobility and Enterprise Mobility Solutions segments were primarily due to savings from cost-reduction initiatives. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased in the Mobile Devices segment and decreased in the Home and Networks Mobility and Enterprise Mobility Solutions segments.

Research and Development Expenditures

Research and development (“R&D”) expenditures decreased 9% to $999 million, or 13.4% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $1.1 billion, or 12.5% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in R&D expenditures was primarily driven by lower R&D expenditures in the Mobile Devices and Home and Networks Mobility segments, partially offset by higher R&D expenditures in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment. The decreases in the Mobile Devices and Home and Networks Mobility segments were primarily due to savings from cost-reduction initiatives. The increase in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment was primarily due to developmental engineering expenditures for new product development and investment in next-generation technologies. R&D expenditures as a percentage of net sales increased in the Mobile Devices segment and decreased in the Home and Networks Mobility and Enterprise Mobility Solutions segments. The Company participates in very competitive industries with constant changes in technology and, accordingly, the Company continues to believe that a strong commitment to R&D is required to drive long-term growth. However, the Company continues to focus on aligning our R&D expenditures with our strategic plans and opportunities for future growth.

Other Charges

The Company recorded net charges of $212 million in Other charges in the third quarter of 2008, compared to net charges of $205 million in the third quarter of 2007. The net charges in the third quarter of 2008 include: (i) $128 million of asset impairment charges, (ii) $80 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangible assets, (iii) $31 million of net reorganization of business charges included in Other charges, and (iv) $21 million of transaction costs related to the proposed separation of the Company into two independent, publicly traded companies, partially offset by a $48 million gain on sale of property, plant and equipment. The net charges in the third quarter of 2007 included: (i) $91 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangible assets, (ii) $58 million of net reorganization of business charges included in Other charges, and (iii) $57 million of asset impairment charges.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $18 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to net interest income of $7 million in the third quarter of 2007. Net interest income in the third quarter of 2008 included interest income of $70 million, partially offset by interest expense of $52 million. Net interest income in the third quarter of 2007 included interest income of $100 million, partially offset by interest expense of $93 million. The increase in net interest income in the third quarter of 2008 was primarily attributed to a $29 million decrease in interest expense related to the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits, offset by lower interest income due to the decrease in average cash, cash equivalents and Sigma Fund balances during the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007, and the significant decrease in short-term interest rates.

Gains on Sales of Investments and Businesses

Gains on sales of investments and businesses were $7 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $5 million in the third quarter of 2007. The net gains relate to the sale of several small investments in the third quarters of both 2008 and 2007.

Other

Net charges classified as Other, as presented in Other income (expense), were $173 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to net income of $6 million in the third quarter of 2007. The net charges in the third quarter of 2008 were primarily comprised of: (i) $141 million of charges attributed to other-than-temporary declines in Sigma Fund investments resulting from our positions in Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman”), Washington Mutual, Inc. (“WaMu”), and Sigma Finance Corporation (“SFC”), a special investment vehicle managed by United Kingdom based Gordian Knot Limited, and (ii) $48 million of foreign currency losses. The net income in the third quarter of 2007 was primarily comprised of $21 million of foreign currency gains, partially offset by $5 million of investment impairment charges.

Effective Tax Rate

The Company recorded $203 million of net tax benefits in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $32 million of net tax benefits in the third quarter of 2007. During the third quarter of 2008, the Company’s net tax benefit was favorably impacted by: (i) a net reduction in unrecognized tax benefits, and (ii) tax benefits on charges, including charges for: a software and silicon platform consolidation, a settlement relating to a purchase commitment, asset impairment charges, investment impairments and reorganization of business charges. The Company’s net tax benefit was unfavorably impacted by: (i) a gain on sale of property, plant and equipment, (ii) transactions costs for which the Company recorded no tax benefit, and (iii) tax on the reduction of interest expense related to the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s ongoing effective tax rate, excluding these items, was 34%. The Company’s net tax benefit excludes a benefit for the U.S. R&D tax credit, which was not reenacted until after the end of the Company’s third quarter. The Company will include a full year tax benefit for the U.S. R&D tax credit in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The Company’s net tax benefit of $32 million for the third quarter of 2007 was favorably impacted by a relative increase in tax credits and a reduction in losses in countries where tax benefits could not be recognized. The Company’s net tax benefit was also favorably impacted by nonrecurring items, including the reversal of deferred tax valuation allowances, and unfavorably impacted by nonrecurring items, including deferred tax adjustments for enacted tax rate decreases. The Company’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2007, excluding the nonrecurring items and tax impact of restructuring charges and asset impairment charges, was 21%.

Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations

The Company incurred a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $600 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared with earnings from continuing operations before income taxes of $8 million in the third quarter of 2007. After taxes, the Company had a loss from continuing operations of $397 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $40 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2007.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The loss from continuing operations before income taxes in the third quarter of 2008 compared to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes in the third quarter of 2007 is primarily attributed to: (i) a $702 million decrease in gross margin, and (ii) a $179 million increase in charges classified as Other, as presented in Other income (expense). These factors were partially offset by: (i) a $166 million decrease in SG&A expenses, (ii) a $101 million decrease in R&D expenditures, and (iii) an $11 million increase in net interest income.

Results of Operations—Nine months ended September 27, 2008 compared to nine months ended September 29, 2007

Net Sales

Net sales were $23.0 billion in the first nine months of 2008, down 15% compared to net sales of $27.0 billion in the first nine months of 2007. The decrease in net sales reflects a $4.4 billion, or 31%, decrease in net sales in the Mobile Devices segment, partially offset by: (i) a $287 million, or 5%, increase in net sales in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment, and (ii) a $200 million, or 3%, increase in net sales in the Home and Networks Mobility segment. The decrease in net sales in the Mobile Devices segment was primarily driven by a 32% decrease in unit shipments. The increase in net sales in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment reflects: (i) a 7% increase in net sales to the government and public safety market, primarily due to increased net sales outside of North America and the net sales generated by Vertex Standard, partially offset by lower net sales in North America, and (ii) a 2% increase in net sales to the commercial enterprise market. The increase in net sales in the Home and Networks Mobility segment was primarily driven by higher net sales of digital entertainment devices, reflecting: (i) higher ASP due to a favorable shift in product mix, and (ii) a 14% increase in unit shipments, partially offset by lower net sales of wireless networks.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was $6.3 billion, or 27.3% of net sales, in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $7.4 billion, or 27.5% of net sales, in the first nine months of 2007. The decrease in gross margin reflects lower gross margin in the Mobile Devices and Home and Networks Mobility segments, partially offset by increased gross margin in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment. The decrease in gross margin in the Mobile Devices segment was primarily driven by: (i) the 31% decrease in net sales, (ii) excess inventory and other related charges of $370 million due to a decision to consolidate software and silicon platforms, and (iii) a $150 million charge related to settlement of the Freescale Semiconductor purchase commitment, partially offset by savings from cost-reduction activities. The decrease in gross margin in the Home and Networks Mobility segment was primarily due to lower gross margin in the wireless networks business, partially offset by higher gross margin in the home business. The increase in gross margin in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment was primarily driven by: (i) the 5% increase in net sales, (ii) favorable product mix, and (iii) an inventory-related charge in connection with the acquisition of Symbol Technologies, Inc. during the first quarter of 2007.

The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the first nine months of 2007 was driven by a decrease in gross margin percentage in the Mobile Devices and Home and Networks Mobility segments, partially offset by an increase in gross margin percentage in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses decreased 13% to $3.3 billion, or 14.5% of net sales, in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $3.8 billion, or 14.2% of net sales, in the first nine months of 2007. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily driven by lower SG&A expenses in the Mobile Devices and Home and Networks Mobility segments, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment. The decrease in the Mobile Devices segment was primarily driven by lower marketing expenses and savings from cost-reduction initiatives. The decrease in the Home and Networks Mobility segment was primarily due to savings from cost-reduction initiatives. The increase in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment was primarily driven by higher selling and marketing expenses related to the increase in net sales. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased in the Mobile Devices segment and decreased in the Home and Networks Mobility and Enterprise Mobility Solutions segments.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Research and Development Expenditures

R&D expenditures decreased 7% to $3.1 billion, or 13.5% of net sales, in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $3.3 billion, or 12.4% of net sales, in the first nine months of 2007. The decrease in R&D expenditures was primarily driven by lower R&D expenditures in the Mobile Devices and Home and Networks Mobility segments, partially offset by higher R&D expenditures in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment. The decreases in the Mobile Devices and Home and Networks Mobility segments were primarily due to savings from cost-reduction initiatives. The increase in the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment was primarily due to developmental engineering expenditures for new product development and investment in next-generation technologies. R&D expenditures as a percentage of net sales increased in the Mobile Devices and Enterprise Mobility Solutions segments and decreased in the Home and Networks Mobility segment.

Other Charges

The Company recorded net charges of $546 million in Other charges in the first nine months of 2008, compared to net charges of $795 million in the first nine months of 2007. The net charges in the first nine months of 2008 include: (i) $244 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangible assets, (ii) $128 million of asset impairment charges, (iii) $124 million of net reorganization of business charges included in Other charges, (iv) $57 million of charges related to legal settlements, and (v) $41 million of transaction costs related to the proposed separation of the Company into two independent, publicly traded companies, partially offset by a $48 million gain on sale of property, plant and equipment. The net charges in the first nine months of 2007 included: (i) $281 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangible assets, (ii) $221 million of net reorganization of business charges included in Other charges, (iii) $140 million for legal settlements and related insurance reserves, (iv) $96 million of in-process research and development charges (“IPR&D”) relating to 2007 acquisitions, and (v) $57 million of asset impairment charges.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $6 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to net interest income of $80 million in the first nine months of 2007. Net interest income in the first nine months of 2008 includes interest income of $210 million, partially offset by interest expense of $204 million. Net interest income in the first nine months of 2007 included interest income of $348 million, partially offset by interest expense of $268 million. The decrease in interest income is primarily attributed to the lower average cash, cash equivalents and Sigma Fund balances in the first nine months of 2008, as compared to average balances during the first nine months of 2007, and the significant decrease in short-term interest rates.

Gains on Sales of Investments and Businesses

Gains on sales of investments and businesses were $65 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $9 million in the first nine months of 2007. In the first nine months of 2008, the net gain primarily relates to sales of a number of the Company’s equity investments, of which $29 million of gain was attributed to a single investment. In the first nine months of 2007, the net gain relates to the sale of a number of small investments.

Other

Net charges classified as Other, as presented in Other income (expense), were $267 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to net income of $22 million in the first nine months of 2007. The net charges in the first nine months of 2008 were primarily comprised of: (i) $288 million of investment impairment charges, of which $145 million of charges were attributed to other-than-temporary declines in Sigma Fund investments resulting from our positions in Lehman, WaMu and SFC, and $83 million of charges were attributed to the impairment of a single strategic investment, and (ii) $34 million of foreign currency losses, partially offset by $24 million of gains relating to several interest rate swaps not designated as hedges. The net income in the first nine months of 2007 was primarily comprised of $68 million of foreign currency gains, partially offset by $36 million of investment impairment charges representing other-than-temporary declines in the value of its investment portfolio.

Effective Tax Rate

The Company recorded $325 million of net tax benefits in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $207 million of net tax benefits in the first nine months of 2007. During the first nine months of 2008, the Company’s net tax benefit

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

was favorably impacted by: (i) a net reduction in unrecognized tax benefits, and (ii) tax benefits on charges, including charges for: a software and silicon platform consolidation, a settlement related to a purchase commitment, asset impairment charges, reorganization of business charges, investment impairments and a legal settlement. The Company’s net tax benefit was unfavorably impacted by: (i) a gain on sale of an investment, (ii) a tax charge on derivative gains, (iii) a gain on a sale of property, plant and equipment, (iv) investment impairment charges for which the Company recorded no tax benefit, (v) transactions costs for which the Company recorded no tax benefit, and (vi) tax on the reduction of interest expense related to the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s ongoing effective tax rate, excluding these items, was 34%. The Company’s net tax benefit excludes a benefit for the U.S. R&D tax credit, which was not reenacted until after the end of the Company’s third quarter. The Company will include a full year tax benefit for the U.S. R&D tax credit in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The Company’s net tax benefit of $207 million for the first nine months of 2007 was favorably impacted by an increase in tax credits. The Company’s net tax benefit was also favorably impacted by nonrecurring items, including the settlement of tax positions, tax incentives received and the reversal of deferred tax valuation allowances, and unfavorably impacted by nonrecurring items, including adjustments to deferred taxes in non-U.S. locations due to enacted tax rate changes, an increase in unrecognized tax benefits and a non-deductible IPR&D charge. The Company’s effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2007, excluding the nonrecurring items and tax impact of restructuring charges and asset impairment charges, was 26%.

Loss from Continuing Operations

The Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $912 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared with a net loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $423 million in the first nine months of 2007. After taxes, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $587 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2008, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $216 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2007.

The larger loss from continuing operations before income taxes in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the first nine months of 2007 is primarily attributed to: (i) a $1.1 billion decrease in gross margin, (ii) a $289 million increase in charges classified as Other, as presented in Other income (expense), and (iii) a $74 million decrease in net interest income. These factors were partially offset by: (i) a $477 million decrease in SG&A expenses, (ii) a $249 million decrease in Other charges, (iii) a $231 million decrease in R&D expenditures, and (iv) a $56 million increase in gains on the sale of investments and businesses.

Reorganization of Businesses

The Company maintains a formal Involuntary Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”), which permits the Company to offer eligible employees severance benefits based on years of service and employment grade level in the event that employment is involuntarily terminated as a result of a reduction-in-force or restructuring. Each separate reduction-in-force has qualified for severance benefits under the Severance Plan. The Company recognizes termination benefits based on formulas per the Severance Plan at the point in time that future settlement is probable and can be reasonably estimated based on estimates prepared at the time a restructuring plan is approved by management. Exit costs consist of future minimum lease payments on vacated facilities and other contractual terminations. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates its accruals for exit costs and employee separation costs to ensure the accruals are still appropriate. In certain circumstances, accruals are no longer required because of efficiencies in carrying out the plans or because employees previously identified for separation resigned from the Company and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were initiated. The Company reverses accruals through the income statement line item where the original charges were recorded when it is determined they are no longer required.

The Company expects to realize cost-saving benefits of approximately $52 million during the remaining three months of 2008 from the plans that were initiated during the first nine months of 2008, representing $9 million of savings in Costs of sales, $34 million of savings in R&D expenditures and $9 million of savings in SG&A expenses. Beyond 2008, the Company expects the reorganization plans initiated during the first nine months of 2008 to provide annualized cost savings of approximately $248 million, representing $69 million of savings in Costs of sales, $142 million of savings in R&D expenditures and $37 million of savings in SG&A expenses.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2008 Charges

During the first nine months of 2008, the Company committed to implement various productivity improvement plans aimed at achieving long-term, sustainable profitability by driving efficiencies and reducing operating costs.

During the third quarter of 2008, the Company recorded net reorganization of business charges of $36 million, including $5 million of charges in Costs of sales and $31 million of charges under Other charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the aggregate $36 million are charges of $38 million for employee separation costs and $15 million for exit costs, partially offset by $17 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed.

During the first nine months of 2008, the Company recorded net reorganization of business charges of $165 million, including $41 million of charges in Costs of sales and $124 million of charges under Other charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the aggregate $165 million are charges of $192 million for employee separation costs and $20 million for exit costs, partially offset by $47 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed.

Exit Costs

At January 1, 2008, the Company had an accrual of $42 million for exit costs attributable to lease terminations. The 2008 additional charges of $20 million are primarily related to the exit of leased facilities in the UK by the Mobile Devices segment. The adjustments of $1 million reflect $3 million of reversals of accruals no longer needed, partially offset by $2 million of translation adjustments. The $13 million used in 2008 reflects cash payments. The remaining accrual of $48 million, which is included in Accrued liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 27, 2008, represents future cash payments, primarily for lease termination obligations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Exit Costs—Lease Terminations

Employee Separation Costs

The adjustments of $55 million reflected $59 million of reversals of accruals no longer needed, partially offset by $4 million of accruals for severance plans established through purchase accounting for businesses acquired. The $59 million of reversals represented previously accrued costs for 1,100 employees, and primarily related to a strategic change regarding a plant closure and specific employees previously identified for separation who resigned from the Company and did not receive severance or who were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were approved. The $4 million of accruals represented severance plans for 200 employees established through purchase accounting for businesses acquired.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As highlighted in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company’s liquidity and available capital resources are impacted by four key components: (i) current cash and cash equivalents, (ii) operating activities, (iii) investing activities, and (iv) financing activities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At September 27, 2008, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents (which are highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less) aggregated $3.0 billion, an increase of $222 million compared to $2.8 billion at December 31, 2007. At September 27, 2008, $197 million of this amount was held in the U.S. and $2.8 billion was held by the Company or its subsidiaries in other countries. While the Company regularly repatriates funds and a significant portion of the funds currently offshore can be repatriated quickly and with minimal adverse financial impact, repatriation of some of these funds could be subject to delay and could have potential adverse tax consequences. The Company continues to analyze and review various repatriation strategies to continue to efficiently repatriate funds. At September 27, 2008, restricted cash was $177 million (including $111 million held outside of the U.S.), compared to $158 million (including $91 million held outside of the U.S.) as of December 31, 2007.

Operating Activities

In the first nine months of 2008, the net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $41 million, compared to $315 million in the first nine months of 2007. The primary contributors to cash flow from operations were: (i) a $1.0 billion decrease in accounts receivable, and (ii) earnings from continuing operations (adjusted for non-cash items) of $291 million. These positive contributors to operating cash flow were partially offset by: (i) a $524 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, (ii) a $530 million cash outflow due to changes in other assets and liabilities, (iii) a $194 million increase in other current assets, and (iv) a $46 million increase in inventories.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Accounts Receivable: The Company’s net accounts receivable were $4.3 billion at September 27, 2008, compared to $5.3 billion at December 31, 2007. The Company’s days sales outstanding (“DSO”), including net long-term receivables, were 53 days at September 27, 2008, compared to 50 days at December 31, 2007 and 53 days at September 29, 2007. The Company’s businesses sell their products in a variety of markets throughout the world and payment terms can vary by market type and geographic location. Accordingly, the Company’s levels of net accounts receivable and DSO can be impacted by the timing and level of sales that are made by its various businesses and by the geographic locations in which those sales are made. In addition, from time to time, the Company elects to sell accounts receivable to third parties. The Company’s levels of net accounts receivable and DSO can be impacted by the timing and amount of such sales, which can vary by period and can be impacted by numerous factors.

Inventory: The Company’s net inventory was $2.6 billion at September 27, 2008, compared to $2.8 billion at December 31, 2007. The decrease in net inventory from December 31, 2007 was primarily due to a charge of $291 million for excess inventory due to a decision to consolidate software and silicon platforms in the Mobile Devices segment. The Company’s inventory turns were 7.3 (excluding the excess inventory charge in the Mobile Devices segment) at September 27, 2008, compared to 10.0 at December 31, 2007 and 8.4 at September 29, 2007. The decline in inventory turns reflects lower turns in all three of the Company’s businesses. Inventory turns were calculated using an annualized rolling three months of costs of sales method. The Company’s days sales in inventory (“DSI”) were 49 days (excluding the excess inventory charge in the Mobile Devices segment) at September 27, 2008, compared to 36 days at December 31, 2007 and 42 days at September 29, 2007. DSI is calculated by dividing net inventory by the average daily costs of sales. Inventory management continues to be an area of focus as the Company balances the need to maintain strategic inventory levels to ensure competitive delivery performance to its customers against the risk of inventory excess and obsolescence due to rapidly changing technology and customer spending requirements.

Accounts Payable: The Company’s accounts payable were $3.8 billion at September 27, 2008, compared to $4.2 billion at December 31, 2007. The Company’s days payable outstanding (“DPO”) were 64 days (excluding the excess inventory charge in the Mobile Devices segment) at September 27, 2008, compared to 53 days at December 31, 2007 and 52 days at September 29, 2007. The improvement in DPO reflects continuing benefits from the Company’s efforts to extend its contractuals payment terms with suppliers. DPO is calculated by dividing accounts payable by the average daily costs of sales. The Company buys products in a variety of markets throughout the world and payment terms can vary by market type and geographic location. Accordingly, the Company’s levels of accounts payable and DPO can be impacted by the timing and level of purchases made by its various businesses and by the geographic locations in which those purchases are made.

Cash Conversion Cycle: The Company’s cash conversion cycle (“CCC”) was 38 days (excluding the excess inventory charge in the Mobile Devices segment) at September 27, 2008, compared to 33 days at December 31, 2007 and 43 days at September 29, 2007. CCC is calculated by adding DSO and DSI and subtracting DPO. The increase in CCC at September 27, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007 reflects higher DSI, partially offset by higher DPO. CCC was higher in the Mobile Devices and Enterprise Mobility segments and lower in the Home and Networks Mobility segment.

Reorganization of Businesses: The Company has implemented reorganization of businesses plans. Cash payments for exit costs and employee separations in connection with a number of these plans were $247 million in the first nine months of 2008, as compared to $223 million in the first nine months of 2007. Of the $160 million reorganization of businesses accrual at September 27, 2008, $112 million relates to employee separation costs and is expected to be paid in 2008. The remaining $48 million relates to lease termination obligations that are expected to be paid over a number of years.

Defined Benefit Plan Contributions: The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $240 million to its U.S. pension plans and approximately $50 million to its Non-U.S. pension plans during 2008. The Company also expects to make cash contributions totaling approximately $20 million to its postretirement healthcare plan during 2008. During the first nine months of 2008, the Company contributed $180 million and $37 million to its U.S. Regular and Non-U.S. pension plans, respectively, and $14 million to its postretirement healthcare plan.

There has been a negative return on the plans’ assets through September 27, 2008 which could ultimately affect the funded status of the plans. Recent market conditions have resulted in an unusually high degree of volatility and increased the risks and illiquidity associated with certain investments held by the pension plans, which could impact the value of investments after the date of this filing. The ultimate impact on the funded status will be determined based upon market conditions in effect when the annual valuation for the year ending December 31, 2008 is performed.

Investing Activities

The most significant components of the Company’s investing activities during the first nine months of 2008 include: (i) net proceeds from sales of Sigma Fund investments, (ii) capital expenditures, (iii) proceeds from the sales of investments and businesses, and (iv) strategic acquisitions of, or investments in, other companies.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $748 million in the first nine months of 2008, as compared to net cash provided of $2.0 billion in the first nine months of 2007. The $1.3 billion decrease in cash provided by investing activities, was primarily due to: (i) a $6.0 billion decrease in cash received from the sale of Sigma Fund investments, partially offset by: (i) a $4.3 billion decrease in cash used for acquisitions and investments, (ii) a $320 million decrease in purchases of short-term investments, and (iii) a $120 million increase in proceeds from the sales of investments and businesses.

Sigma Fund: The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries invest most of their U.S. dollar-denominated cash in a fund (the “Sigma Fund”) that is designed to perform similar to a money market fund. The Company received $1.1 billion in net proceeds from sales of Sigma Fund investments in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $7.2 billion in net proceeds in the first nine months of 2007. The Sigma Fund aggregate balances were $3.9 billion at September 27, 2008, compared to $5.2 billion at December 31, 2007. At September 27, 2008, $480 million of the Sigma Fund investments were held in the U.S. and $3.4 billion were held by the Company or its subsidiaries in other countries. While the Company regularly repatriates funds and a significant portion of the funds currently offshore can be repatriated quickly and with minimal adverse financial impact, repatriation of some of these funds could be subject to delay and could have potential adverse tax consequences. The Company continues to analyze and review various repatriation strategies to continue to efficiently repatriate funds.

The Sigma Fund portfolio is managed by four premier independent investment management firms. Investments purchased must be in high-quality, investment grade (rated at least A/A-1 by Standard & Poor’s or A2/P-1 by Moody’s Investors Service), U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations, including certificates of deposit, commercial paper, government bonds, corporate bonds and asset- and mortgage-backed securities. Under the Sigma Fund’s investment policies, except for debt obligations of the U.S. treasury and U.S. agencies, no more than 5% of the Sigma Fund portfolio is to consist of debt obligations of any one issuer. The Sigma Fund’s investment policies further require that floating rate investments must have a maturity at purchase date that does not exceed thirty-six months with an interest rate reset at least annually. The average interest rate reset of the investments held by the funds must be 120 days or less. The actual average interest rate reset of the portfolio (excluding other-than-temporarily impaired securities) was 35 days and 40 days at September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

The Company primarily relies on valuation pricing models and broker quotes to determine the fair value of investments in the Sigma Fund. The models are developed and maintained primarily by third-party pricing providers. The valuation methodologies applied use a number of standard inputs, including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes where the party is standing ready and able to transact, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and other reference data. The valuation methodologies may prioritize these inputs differently at each balance sheet date for any given security, based on market conditions. Not all of the standard inputs listed will be used each time in the valuation methodologies. For each asset class, quantifiable inputs related to perceived market movements and sector news may be considered in addition to the standard inputs.

As of September 27, 2008, the fair market value of the Sigma Fund was $3.9 billion, of which $3.4 billion has been classified as current and $483 million has been classified as non-current, compared to a fair market value of $5.2 billion at December 31, 2007, all classified as current. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, the Company recorded a net unrealized loss of $26 million and $63 million, respectively, in the available-for-sale securities held in the Sigma Fund. The total unrealized loss on the Sigma Fund portfolio at the end of September 27, 2008 is $120 million, of which $42 million relates to the securities classified as current and $78 million relates to securities classified as non-current. As of December 31, 2007, the unrealized loss on the Sigma Fund portfolio was $57 million, all classified as current. The unrealized losses have been reflected as a reduction in Non-owner changes to equity.

As of September 27, 2008, $483 million of Sigma Fund investments have been classified as non-current because they have maturities greater than 12 months, the market values are below cost and the Company plans to hold the securities until they recover to cost or until maturity. The Company believes this decline is temporary, primarily due to the ongoing disruptions in the capital markets. The weighted average maturity of the Sigma Fund investments classified as non-current (excluding other-than-temporarily impaired securities) was 17 months. Substantially all of these securities (excluding other-than-temporary impaired securities) have investment grade ratings and, accordingly, the Company believes it is

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

probable that it will be able to collect all amounts it is owed under these securities according to their contractual terms, which may be at maturity. If it becomes probable that the Company will not collect the amounts in accordance with the contractual terms of the security, the Company would consider the decline other-than-temporary. The Company continuously assesses its cash needs and continues to believe that the balance of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and investments in the Sigma Fund classified as current are more than adequate to meet its current operating requirements over the next twelve months. Therefore, the Company believes it is prudent to hold the $483 million of securities classified as non-current to maturity (or until they recover to cost), at which time we anticipate the securities will liquidate at cost. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, the Company recorded $141 million and $145 million, respectively, of other-than-temporary declines in the Sigma Fund investments as investment impairment charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, resulting primarily from our positions in Lehman, WaMu and SFC.

Subsequent to September 27, 2008, there has been a further decline in the fair value of the Sigma Fund’s SFC securities, which the Company considers other-than-temporary, and will be recorded as an investment impairment in the fourth quarter of 2008. The impairment will be no greater than $43 million, which represents the cost basis of these securities as of September 27, 2008.

Strategic Acquisitions and Investments: The Company used cash for acquisitions and new investment activities of $180 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $4.5 billion in the first nine months of 2007. During the first nine months of 2008, the Company: (i) acquired a controlling interest of Vertex Standard Co. Ltd. (part of the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment), (ii) acquired the assets related to digital cable set-top products of Zhejiang Dahua Digital Technology Co., LTD. and Hangzhou Image Silicon, known collectively as Dahua Digital (part of the Home and Networks Mobility segment), and (iii) completed the acquisition of Soundbuzz Pte. Ltd. (part of the Mobile Devices segment). During the first nine months of 2007, the Company completed seven strategic acquisitions for an aggregate of approximately $4.5 billion in net cash, including the acquisitions of: (i) Symbol Technologies, Inc. (part of the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment) in January 2007 for approximately $3.5 billion, (ii) Good Technology, Inc. (part of the Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment) in January 2007 for approximately $438 million, (iii) Netopia, Inc. (part of the Home and Networks Mobility segment) in February 2007 for approximately $183 million, (iv) Terayon Communications System (part of the Home and Network Mobility segment) in July 2007 for approximately $137 million, (v) Tut Systems, Inc. (part of the Home and Networks Mobility segment) in March 2007, (vi) Modulus Video, Inc. (part of the Home and Networks Mobility segment) in June 2007, and (vii) Leapstone Systems, Inc. (part of the Home and Networks Mobility segment) in August 2007.

Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2008 were $387 million, compared to $393 million in the first nine months of 2007. The Company’s emphasis in making capital expenditures is to focus on strategic investments driven by customer demand and new design capability.

Sales of Investments and Businesses: The Company received $83 million in proceeds from the sales of investments and businesses in the first nine months of 2008, compared to proceeds of $75 million in the first nine months of 2007. The $83 million in proceeds in the first nine months of 2008 was primarily comprised of net proceeds received in connection with the sales of certain of the Company’s equity investments. The $75 million in proceeds in the first nine months of 2007 was comprised of $39 million of net proceeds received in connection with the prior sale of the automotive electronics business upon the satisfaction of certain closing conditions and proceeds received in connection with the sales of certain of the Company’s equity investments.

Short-Term Investments: At September 27, 2008, the Company had $735 million in short-term investments (which are highly-liquid fixed-income investments with an original maturity greater than three months but less than one year), compared to $612 million of short-term investments at December 31, 2007.

Investment Securities: In addition to available cash and cash equivalents, the Sigma Fund portfolio and available-for-sale equity securities, the Company views its investment securities as an additional source of liquidity. The majority of these securities represent investments in technology companies and, accordingly, the fair market values of these securities are subject to substantial price volatility. In addition, the realizable value of these securities is subject to market and other conditions. At September 27, 2008, the Company’s available-for-sale equity securities portfolio had an approximate fair market value of $281 million, which represented a cost basis of $306 million and a net unrealized loss of $25 million. At December 31, 2007, the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio had an approximate fair market value of $333 million, which represented a cost basis of $372 million and a net unrealized loss of $39 million.

Financing Activities

The most significant components of the Company’s financing activities are: (i) payment of dividends, (ii) purchases of the Company’s common stock under its share repurchase program, (iii) repayment of debt, (iv) issuance of common stock, and (v) net proceeds from, or repayment of, commercial paper and short-term borrowings.

Net cash used for financing activities was $568 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $2.9 billion used in the first nine months of 2007. Cash used for financing activities in the first nine months of 2008 was primarily: (i) $340 million of cash used to pay dividends, (ii) $138 million of cash used to purchase approximately 9.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock under the share repurchase program, all during the first quarter of 2008, (iii) $114 million of cash used for the repayment of maturing long-term debt, (iv) $37 million of net cash used for the repayment of short-term borrowings, and (v) $26 million in distributions to discontinued operations, partially offset by $86 million of net cash received from the issuance of common stock in connection with the Company’s employee stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan.

Cash used for financing activities in the first nine months of 2007 was primarily: (i) $2.5 billion of cash used for the purchase of the Company’s common stock under the share repurchase program, (ii) $354 million of cash used to pay dividends, (iii) $167 million of cash used for the repayment of debt, (iv) $162 million of net cash used for the repayment of commercial paper and short-term borrowings, and (v) $62 million in distributions to discontinued operations, partially offset by proceeds of $289 million received from the issuance of common stock in connection with the Company’s employee stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan.

Commercial Paper and Other Short-Term Debt: At September 27, 2008, the Company’s outstanding notes payable and current portion of long-term debt was $189 million, compared to $332 million at December 31, 2007. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company repaid, at maturity, the entire $114 million outstanding of 6.50% Senior Notes due March 1, 2008. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2008, the Company repaid, at maturity, the entire $84 million outstanding of 5.80% Notes due October 15, 2008.

Net cash used for the repayment of commercial paper and short-term borrowings was $37 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $162 million of net cash used in the first nine months of 2007. At September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had no commercial paper outstanding. Currently the capital markets are experiencing a period of significant volatility and reduced liquidity. Routine access to the commercial paper market has been limited for issuers like Motorola. If the Company were to issue commercial paper under the current market conditions, the funding costs the Company would have to pay to issue commercial paper would be elevated compared to historical levels. The Company may issue commercial paper when it believes it is prudent to do so in light of prevailing market conditions and other factors.

Long-Term Debt: The Company had outstanding long-term debt of $4.0 billion at both September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Although we believe that we will be able to maintain sufficient access to the capital markets, the current volatility and reduced liquidity in the financial markets may result in periods of time when access to the capital markets is limited for all issuers or issuers with credit ratings similar to the Company’s credit ratings.

The Company may from time to time seek to opportunistically retire certain of its outstanding debt through open market cash purchases, privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

Share Repurchase Program: During the first nine months of 2008, the Company paid an aggregate of $138 million, including transaction costs, to repurchase 9.0 million shares at an average price of $15.32. The Company did not repurchase any of its shares during the second or third quarters of 2008.

Through actions taken in July 2006 and March 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase an aggregate amount of up to $7.5 billion of its outstanding shares of common stock over a period ending in June 2009. The timing and amount of future repurchases will be based on market and other conditions. As of September 27, 2008, the Company remained authorized to purchase an aggregate amount of up to $3.6 billion of additional shares under the current stock repurchase program.

Credit Ratings: Three independent credit rating agencies, Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), and Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”), assign ratings to the Company’s short-term and long-term debt. The following chart reflects the current ratings assigned to the Company’s senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term debt and the Company’s commercial paper by each of these agencies.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Name of	Long-Term		Commercial
Rating Agency	Debt Rating		Paper Rating		Date and Recent Actions Taken


Fitch		BBB		F-2	February 1, 2008 (placed all debt on rating watch negative); January 24, 2008 (downgraded long-term debt to BBB (negative outlook) from BBB+ (negative outlook))

Moody’s		Baa2		P-2	May 14, 2008 (downgraded long-term debt to Baa2 (negative outlook) from Baa1)

S&P		BBB		A-2	January 25, 2008 (downgraded long-term debt to BBB (credit watch negative) from A− (negative outlook); placed A-2 commercial paper on credit watch negative)

The Company’s debt ratings are considered “investment grade.” If the Company’s senior long-term debt were rated lower than “BBB−” by S&P or Fitch or “Baa3” by Moody’s (which would be a decline of two levels from current ratings), the Company’s long-term debt would no longer be considered “investment grade.” If this were to occur, the terms on which the Company could borrow money would become more onerous. The Company would also have to pay higher fees related to its domestic revolving credit facility.

As further described under “Sales of Receivables” below, for many years the Company has utilized a number of receivables programs to sell a broadly-diversified group of accounts receivables to third parties. Certain of the accounts receivables are sold to a multi-seller commercial paper conduit. This program provides for up to $400 million of accounts receivables to be outstanding with the conduit at any time. The obligations of the conduit to continue to purchase receivables under this accounts receivables program could be terminated if the Company’s long-term debt was rated lower than “BB+” by S&P or “Ba1” by Moody’s (which would be a decline of three levels from the current ratings). If this accounts receivables program were terminated, the Company would no longer be able to sell its accounts receivables to the conduit in this manner, but it would not have to repurchase previously-sold receivables.

Credit Facilities

At September 27, 2008, the Company’s total domestic and non-U.S. credit facilities totaled $4.3 billion, of which $219 million was utilized. These facilities are principally comprised of: (i) a $2.0 billion five-year domestic syndicated revolving credit facility maturing in December 2011 (as amended, the “5-Year Credit Facility”), which is not utilized, and (ii) $2.3 billion of uncommitted non-U.S. credit facilities (of which $219 million was considered utilized at September 27, 2008). Unused availability under the existing credit facilities, together with available cash, cash equivalents, Sigma Fund balances (both current and non-current) and other sources of liquidity are, among other things, generally available to support outstanding commercial paper.

In order to borrow funds under the 5-Year Credit Facility, the Company must be in compliance with various conditions, covenants and representations contained in the agreements. The Company was in compliance with the terms of the 5-Year Credit Facility at September 27, 2008. The Company has never borrowed under its domestic revolving credit facilities. Utilization of the non-U.S. credit facilities may also be dependent on the Company’s ability to meet certain conditions at the time a borrowing is requested.

Long-term Customer Financing Commitments

Outstanding Commitments: Certain purchasers of the Company’s infrastructure equipment continue to request that suppliers provide long-term financing, defined as financing with terms greater than one year, in connection with equipment purchases. These requests may include all or a portion of the purchase price of the equipment. Periodically, the Company makes commitments to provide financing to purchasers in connection with such requests. However, the Company’s obligation to provide long-term financing is often conditioned on the issuance of a letter of credit in favor of the Company by a reputable bank to support the purchaser’s credit or a pre-existing commitment from a reputable bank to purchase the long-term receivables from the Company. The Company had outstanding commitments to provide long-term financing to third parties totaling $373 million and $610 million at September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Of these amounts, $276 million and $454 million were supported by letters of credit or by bank commitments to purchase long-term receivables at September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Guarantees of Third-Party Debt: In addition to providing direct financing to certain equipment customers, the Company also assists customers in obtaining financing directly from banks and other sources to fund equipment

purchases. The Company had committed to provide financial guarantees relating to customer financing totaling $35 million and $42 million at September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively (including $23 million at both September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, relating to the sale of short-term receivables). Customer financing guarantees outstanding were $3 million at both September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007 (including $1 million and $0 million at September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, relating to the sale of short-term receivables).

Outstanding Long-Term Receivables: The Company had net long-term receivables, less allowance for losses, of $115 million and $118 million at September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively (net of allowances for losses of $6 million and $5 million at September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively). These long-term receivables are generally interest bearing, with interest rates ranging from 3% to 14%.

Sales of Receivables

In the aggregate, at September 27, 2008, these committed facilities provided for up to $1.1 billion to be outstanding with the third parties at any time, as compared to up to $1.4 billion provided at December 31, 2007. As of September 27, 2008, $568 million of the Company’s committed facilities were utilized, compared to $497 million that were utilized at December 31, 2007. As described above under “Credit Ratings”, certain events could cause a $400 million committed facility to terminate. In addition, before receivables can be sold under certain of the committed facilities, they may need to meet contractual requirements, such as credit quality or insurability.

Other Contingencies

Potential Contractual Damage Claims in Excess of Underlying Contract Value: In certain circumstances, our businesses may enter into contracts with customers pursuant to which the damages that could be claimed by the other party for failed performance might exceed the revenue the Company receives from the contract. Contracts with these sorts of uncapped damage provisions are fairly rare, but individual contracts could still represent meaningful risk. There is a possibility that a damage claim by a counterparty to one of these contracts could result in expenses to the Company that are far in excess of the revenue received from the counterparty in connection with the contract.

Indemnification Provisions: In addition, the Company may provide indemnifications for losses that result from the breach of general warranties contained in certain commercial, intellectual property and divestiture agreements. Historically, the Company has not made significant payments under these agreements, nor have there been significant claims asserted against the Company. However, there is an increasing risk in relation to intellectual property indemnities given the current legal climate. In indemnification cases, payment by the Company is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to challenge the other party’s claims. Further, the Company’s obligations under these agreements for indemnification based on breach of representations and warranties are generally limited in terms of duration, typically not

more than 24 months, and for amounts not in excess of the contract value, and in some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by the Company.

Legal Matters: The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits, claims and actions, which arise in the normal course of business. These include actions relating to products, contracts and securities, as well as matters initiated by third parties or Motorola relating to infringements of patents, violations of licensing arrangements and other intellectual property-related matters. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Segment Information

The following commentary should be read in conjunction with the financial results of each reporting segment for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007 as detailed in Note 9, “Segment Information,” of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Mobile Devices Segment


	Three Months Ended									Nine Months Ended
	September 27,			September 29,						September 27,			September 29,
(Dollars in millions)	2008			2007			% Change			2008			2007			% Change


Segment net sales	$	3,116		$	4,496			(31	)%	$	9,749		$	14,177			(31	)%
Operating loss		(840	)		(248	)		239	%		(1,604	)		(813	)		97	%

For the third quarter of 2008, the segment’s net sales represented 42% of the Company’s consolidated net sales, compared to 51% in the third quarter of 2007. For the first nine months of 2008, the segment’s net sales represented 42% of the Company’s consolidated net sales, compared to 53% in the first nine months of 2007.

Three months ended September 27, 2008 compared to three months ended September 29, 2007

In the third quarter of 2008, the segment’s net sales were $3.1 billion, a decrease of 31% compared to net sales of $4.5 billion in the third quarter of 2007. The 31% decrease in net sales was primarily driven by a 32% decrease in unit shipments. The segment’s product sales continued to be negatively impacted by product portfolio gaps in critical market segments, especially 3G, including smartphones, and in very low-tier products. Improving the segment’s product portfolio remains a top priority. On a product technology basis, net sales decreased substantially for GSM and CDMA technologies, and increased slightly for 3G and iDEN technologies. On a geographic basis, net sales decreased substantially in North America, the Europe, Middle East and Africa region (“EMEA”) and Latin America and, to a lesser extent, decreased in Asia.

The segment incurred an operating loss of $840 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to an operating loss of $248 million in the third quarter of 2007. The operating loss was primarily due to the decrease in gross margin, driven by: (i) excess inventory and other related charges of $370 million due to a decision to consolidate software and silicon platforms, (ii) the 31% decrease in net sales, and (iii) a $150 million charge for a settlement of the Freescale Semiconductor purchase commitment, partially offset by savings from cost-reduction activities. The decrease in gross margin was partially offset by decreases in: (i) selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, primarily due to lower marketing expenses and savings from cost-reduction initiatives, (ii) research and development (“R&D”) expenditures related to savings from cost-reduction initiatives, and (iii) reorganization of business charges, relating primarily to employee severance costs. As a percentage of net sales in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the third quarter of 2007, SG&A and R&D expenditures increased and gross margin decreased.

Unit shipments in the third quarter of 2008 were 25.4 million units, a 32% decrease compared to shipments of 37.2 million units in the third quarter of 2007 and a 10% decrease compared to shipments of 28.1 million units in the second quarter of 2008. The segment estimates its worldwide market share to be approximately 8.4% in the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of approximately 5 percentage points versus the third quarter of 2007, reflecting significant declines in market share in North America and Latin America. The segment estimates its worldwide market share decreased approximately 1 percentage point versus the second quarter of 2008.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In the third quarter of 2008, ASP was flat compared to the third quarter of 2007. ASP is impacted by numerous factors, including product mix, market conditions and competitive product offerings, and ASP trends often vary over time.

Nine months ended September 27, 2008 compared to nine months ended September 29, 2007

In the first nine months of 2008, the segment’s net sales were $9.7 billion, a decrease of 31% compared to net sales of $14.2 billion in the first nine months of 2007. The 31% decrease in net sales was primarily driven by: (i) a 32% decrease in unit shipments to 80.9 million units in the first nine months of 2008, compared to 118.1 million units shipped in the first nine months of 2007, and (ii) a 1% decrease in ASP. On a product technology basis, net sales decreased substantially for GSM and CDMA technologies and, to a lesser extent, decreased for iDEN and 3G technologies. On a geographic basis, net sales decreased substantially in North America, EMEA, and Asia and, to a lesser extent, decreased in Latin America.

The segment incurred an operating loss of $1.6 billion in the first nine months of 2008, compared to an operating loss of $813 million in the first nine months of 2007. The operating loss was primarily due to the decrease in gross margin, driven by: (i) the 31% decrease in net sales, (ii) excess inventory and other related charges of $370 million due to a decision to consolidate software and silicon platforms, and (iii) a $150 million charge for a settlement of the Freescale Semiconductor purchase commitment, partially offset by savings from cost-reduction activities. The decrease in gross margin was partially offset by decreases in: (i) SG&A expenses, primarily due to lower marketing expenses and savings from cost-reduction initiatives, (ii) R&D expenditures, reflecting savings from cost-reduction initiatives and (iii) reorganization of business charges, relating primarily to lower employee severance costs. As a percentage of net sales in the first nine months of 2008 as compared to the first nine months of 2007, SG&A expenses and R&D expenditures increased and gross margin decreased.

Additionally, during the first quarter of 2008, the segment completed the acquisition of Soundbuzz Pte. Ltd., a leading pan-Asian music provider.

For the third quarter of 2008, the segment’s net sales represented 32% of the Company’s consolidated net sales, compared to 27% in the third quarter of 2007. For the first nine months of 2008, the segment’s net sales represented 33% of the Company’s consolidated net sales, compared to 27% in the first nine months of 2007.

Three months ended September 27, 2008 compared to three months ended September 29, 2007

In the third quarter of 2008, the segment’s net sales decreased 1% to $2.4 billion, compared to $2.4 billion in the third quarter of 2007. The 1% decrease in net sales primarily reflects a 14% decrease in net sales of wireless networks, partially offset by a 19% increase in net sales in the home business. The 14% decrease in net sales of wireless networks was primarily driven by: (i) the decrease in net sales by the embedded communication computing group (“ECC”) that was divested at the end of 2007, and (ii) lower net sales of iDEN and GSM infrastructure equipment, partially offset by higher net sales of CDMA infrastructure equipment. The 19% increase in net sales in the home business was primarily driven by an 18% increase in net sales of digital entertainment devices, reflecting a 52% increase in unit shipments to 4.1 million units, partially offset by lower ASP due to an unfavorable product mix shift and pricing pressure.

On a geographic basis, the 1% decrease in net sales reflects lower net sales in Asia and North America, and higher net sales in Latin America and EMEA. The decrease in net sales in Asia was primarily driven by lower net sales of GSM infrastructure equipment. The decrease in net sales in North America was primarily driven by lower net sales of iDEN infrastructure equipment, partially offset by higher net sales in the home business. The increase in net sales in Latin America was primarily due to higher net sales in the home business. The increase in net sales in EMEA was primarily due to higher net sales of GSM infrastructure equipment. Net sales in North America continue to comprise a significant

portion of the segment’s business, accounting for approximately 48% of the segment’s total net sales in the third quarter of 2008, compared to approximately 49% of the segment’s total net sales in the third quarter of 2007.

The segment reported operating earnings of $263 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to operating earnings of $159 million in the third quarter of 2007. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to decreases in both R&D and SG&A expenses, primarily related to savings from cost-reduction initiatives. These factors were partially offset by a decrease in gross margin, primarily due to lower net sales of iDEN infrastructure equipment and the absence of net sales by ECC, partially offset by higher net sales in the home business. As a percentage of net sales in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the third quarter of 2007, gross margin, SG&A expenses and R&D expenditures decreased, and operating margin increased.

Nine months ended September 27, 2008 compared to nine months ended September 29, 2007

In the first nine months of 2008, the segment’s net sales increased 3% to $7.5 billion, compared to $7.3 billion in the first nine months of 2007. The 3% increase in net sales primarily reflects an 18% increase in net sales in the home business, partially offset by a 9% decrease in net sales of wireless networks. The 18% increase in net sales in the home business is primarily driven by a 21% increase in net sales of digital entertainment devices, reflecting: (i) higher ASP due to a favorable product mix shift, and (ii) a 14% increase in unit shipments to 13.3 million units. The 9% decrease in net sales of wireless networks was primarily driven by: (i) the decrease in net sales by ECC, and (ii) lower net sales of iDEN and CDMA infrastructure equipment, partially offset by higher net sales of GSM and UMTS infrastructure equipment.

On a geographic basis, the 3% increase in net sales was primarily driven by higher net sales in EMEA, Latin America and Asia, partially offset by lower net sales in North America. The increase in net sales in EMEA was primarily due to higher net sales of GSM infrastructure equipment. The increase in net sales in Latin America was primarily due to higher net sales in the home business. The increase in net sales in Asia was primarily driven by higher net sales of UMTS and CDMA infrastructure equipment, partially offset by lower net sales of GSM infrastructure. The decrease in net sales in North America was primarily due to lower net sales of iDEN and CDMA infrastructure equipment, partially offset by higher net sales in the home business. Net sales in North America accounted for approximately 50% of the segment’s total net sales in the first nine months of 2008, compared to approximately 55% of the segment’s total net sales in the first nine months of 2007. The regional shift in the first nine months of 2008 as compared to the first nine months of 2007 reflects a 14% aggregate growth in net sales outside of North America, as well as a 6% decline in net sales in North America.

The segment reported operating earnings of $661 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to operating earnings of $517 million in the first nine months of 2007. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to: (i) the decreases in both SG&A and R&D expenditures, primarily related to savings from cost-reduction initiatives, and (ii) a decrease in reorganization of business charges, relating primarily to lower employee severance costs. These factors were partially offset by a decrease in gross margin, primarily due to lower net sales of iDEN and CDMA infrastructure equipment and the decrease in net sales by ECC, partially offset by higher net sales in the home business. As a percentage of net sales in the first nine months of 2008 as compared to the first nine months of 2007, gross margin, SG&A expenses and R&D expenditures all decreased and operating margin increased.

During the first quarter of 2008, the segment acquired the assets related to digital cable set-top products of Zhejiang Dahua Digital Technology Co., LTD and Hangzhou Image Silicon, (known collectively as Dahua Digital), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of cable set-tops and related low cost integrated circuits for the emerging Chinese cable business.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended September 27, 2008 compared to three months ended September 29, 2007

In the third quarter of 2008, the segment’s net sales increased 4% to $2.0 billion, compared to $2.0 billion in the third quarter of 2007. The 4% increase in net sales reflects a 9% increase in net sales to the government and public safety market, primarily due to: (i) increased net sales outside of North America, and (ii) the net sales generated by Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. (“Vertex Standard”), a business the Company acquired a controlling interest of in January 2008, partially offset by a 8% decrease in net sales to the commercial enterprise market. On a geographic basis, the segment’s net sales were higher in EMEA, Asia and Latin America and lower in North America. Net sales in North America continue to comprise a significant portion of the segment’s business, accounting for 56% of the segment’s total net sales in the third quarter of 2008, compared to 62% in the third quarter of 2007. The regional shift in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the third quarter of 2007 reflects 20% growth in net sales outside of North America, as well as a 6% decline in net sales in North America.

The segment reported operating earnings of $403 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to operating earnings of $328 million in the third quarter of 2007. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to an increase in gross margin, driven by the 4% increase in net sales and favorable product mix. The increase in gross margin was partially offset by increased R&D expenditures, primarily due to developmental engineering expenditures for new product development and investment in next-generation technologies. As a percentage of net sales in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the third quarter of 2007, gross margin and operating margin increased, and SG&A expenses and R&D expenditures decreased.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2008, the segment completed the acquisition of AirDefense Inc., a leading wireless local area network (WLAN) security provider.

Nine months ended September 27, 2008 compared to nine months ended September 29, 2007

In the first nine months of 2008, the segment’s net sales increased 5% to $5.9 billion, compared to $5.6 billion in the first nine months of 2007. The 5% increase in net sales reflects: (i) a 7% increase in net sales to the government and public safety market, and (ii) a 2% increase in net sales to the commercial enterprise market. The increase in net sales to the government and public safety market was primarily driven by: (i) increased net sales outside of North America, and (ii) the net sales generated by Vertex Standard, partially offset by lower net sales in North America. On a geographic basis, the segment’s net sales were higher in EMEA, Asia and Latin America and lower in North America. Net sales in North America accounted for 56% of the segment’s total net sales in the first nine months of 2008, compared to 62% in the first nine months of 2007. The regional shift in the first nine months of 2008 as compared to the first nine months of 2007 reflects a 22% growth in net sales outside of North America, as well as a 5% decline in net sales in North America.

The segment reported operating earnings of $1.0 billion in the first nine months of 2008, compared to operating earnings of $762 million in the first nine months of 2007. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to an increase in gross margin, driven by: (i) the 5% increase in net sales, (ii) favorable product mix, and (iii) an inventory-related charge in connection with the acquisition of Symbol Technologies, Inc. during the first quarter of 2007. The increase in gross margin was partially offset by: (i) increased R&D expenditures, primarily due to developmental engineering expenditures for new product development and investment in next-generation technologies, and (ii) increased SG&A expenses, primarily due to selling and marketing expenses related to the increase in net sales. As a percentage of net sales in the first nine months of 2008 as compared to the first nine months of 2007, gross margin, R&D expenditures and operating margin increased, and SG&A expenses decreased.

In January 2008, the Company acquired a controlling interest of Vertex Standard, a global provider of two-way radio communication solutions. The acquisition provides the Company with access to Vertex Standard’s global distribution channel and strengthened the Company’s product portfolio.

Significant Accounting Policies

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, current economic and industry conditions and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. This forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following significant accounting policies require significant judgment and estimates:

— Revenue recognition

— Inventory valuation reserves

— Taxes on income

— Valuation of Sigma Fund, investments and long-lived assets

— Restructuring activities

— Retirement-related benefits

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) on January 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value as required by other accounting pronouncements and expands fair value measurement disclosures. The provisions of SFAS 157 are applied prospectively upon adoption and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The disclosures required by SFAS 157 are included in Note 6, “Fair Value Measurements,” to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2, which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities, which are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”) as of January 1, 2008. SFAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any assets or liabilities, which were not previously carried at fair value. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 159 had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted EITF 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“EITF 06-4”) as of January 1, 2008. EITF 06-4 requires that endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements, which provide a benefit to an employee beyond the postretirement period be recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 106, “Employer’s Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” or APB Opinion No. 12, “Omnibus Opinion — 1967” (“the Statements”) based on the substance of the agreement with the employee. Upon adoption of EITF 06-4, the Company recognized an increase in Other liabilities of $45 million with the offset reflected as a cumulative-effect adjustment to January 1, 2008 Retained earnings and Non-owner changes to equity in the amounts of $4 million and $41 million, respectively, in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) (“SFAS 141R”), a revision of SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141R establishes requirements for the recognition and measurement of acquired assets, liabilities, goodwill and non-controlling interests. SFAS 141R also provides disclosure requirements related to business combinations. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R will be applied prospectively to business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the effective date.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new standards for the accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interests (formerly minority interests) and for the loss of control of partially owned and consolidated subsidiaries. SFAS 160 does not change the criteria for consolidating a partially owned entity. SFAS 160 is effective for

fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The provisions of SFAS 160 will be applied prospectively upon adoption except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will be applied retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the additional disclosures required by SFAS 161.

Cost-Reduction Initiatives Announced on October 30, 2008

On October 30, 2008, the Company announced new cost-reduction initiatives, including planned workforce reductions. In connection with these initiatives, management approved specific plans that will result in one-time termination benefits relating to approximately 1,500 employees, primarily in the Mobile Devices segment. These plans will result in pre-tax charges of $104 million. The Company expects to approve additional plans in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company uses financial instruments to reduce its overall exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on cash flows. The Company’s policy prohibits speculation in financial instruments for profit on the exchange rate price fluctuation, trading in currencies for which there are no underlying exposures, or entering into transactions for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure. Instruments that are designated as part of a hedging relationship must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and are designated as a part of a hedging relationship at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in market values of hedge instruments must be highly correlated with changes in market values of underlying hedged items both at the inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract.

The Company’s strategy related to foreign exchange exposure management is to offset the gains or losses on the financial instruments against losses or gains on the underlying operational cash flows or investments based on the operating business units’ assessment of risk. The Company enters into derivative contracts for some of the Company’s non-functional currency receivables and payables, which are primarily denominated in major currencies that can be traded on open markets. The Company uses forward contracts and options to hedge these currency exposures. In addition, the Company enters into derivative contracts for some firm commitments and some forecasted transactions, which are designated as part of a hedging relationship if it is determined that the transaction qualifies for hedge accounting under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” A portion of the Company’s exposure is from currencies that are not traded in liquid markets and these are addressed, to the extent reasonably possible, through managing net asset positions, product pricing and component sourcing.

At September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had net outstanding foreign exchange contracts totaling $2.9 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively. Management believes that these financial instruments should not subject the Company to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset losses and gains on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions, except for the ineffective portion of the instruments, which are charged to Other within Other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table shows the five largest net notional amounts of the positions to buy or sell foreign currency as of September 27, 2008 and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2007:


	Notional Amount
	September 27,			December 31,
Net Buy (Sell) by Currency	2008			2007


Chinese Renminbi	$	(874	)	$	(1,292	)
Brazilian Real		(413	)		(377	)
Euro		(387	)		(33	)
British Pound		201			396
Japanese Yen		365			384

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses if counterparties to financial instruments fail to perform their obligations. However, the Company does not expect any counterparties, all of whom presently have investment grade credit ratings, to fail to meet their obligations.

Interest Rate Risk

At September 27, 2008, the Company’s short-term debt consisted primarily of $101 million of short-term variable rate foreign debt. The Company has $4.1 billion of long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, which is primarily priced at long-term, fixed interest rates.

As part of its liability management program, the Company has entered into interest rate swaps to synthetically modify the characteristics of interest rate payments for certain of its outstanding long-term debt from fixed-rate payments to short-term variable rate payments. The following table displays these outstanding interest rate swaps at September 27, 2008:


	Notional Amount
	Hedged		Underlying Debt
Date Executed	(In millions)		Instrument


October 2007	$	400		5.375% notes due 2012
October 2007		400		6.0% notes due 2017
September 2003		457		7.625% debentures due 2010
September 2003		600		8.0% notes due 2011
May 2003		84		5.8% debentures due 2008
May 2003		69		7.625% debentures due 2010

	$	2,010

The weighted average short-term variable rate payments on each of the above interest rate swaps was 5.23% for the three months ended September 27, 2008. The fair value of the above interest rate swaps on September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, was $39 million and $36 million, respectively. Except as noted below, the Company had no outstanding commodity derivatives, currency swaps or options relating to debt instruments at September 27, 2008 or December 31, 2007.

The Company designated the above interest rate swap agreements as part of fair value hedging relationships. As such, changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument, and corresponding adjustments to the carrying amount of the debt are recognized in earnings. Interest expense on the debt is adjusted to include the payments made or received under such hedge agreements. In the event the underlying debt instrument matures or is redeemed or repurchased, the Company is likely to terminate the corresponding interest rate swap contracts.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, concurrently with the issuance of debt, the Company entered into several interest rate swaps to convert the fixed rate interest cost of the debt to a floating rate. At the time of entering into these interest rate swaps, the swaps were designated as fair value hedges and qualified for hedge accounting treatment. The swaps were originally designated as fair value hedges of the underlying debt, including the Company’s credit spread. During the first quarter of 2008, the swaps were no longer considered effective hedges because of the volatility in the price of the Company’s fixed-rate domestic term debt and the swaps were dedesignated. In the same period, the Company was able to redesignate the same interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of the underlying debt, exclusive of the Company’s credit spread. For the period of time that the swaps were deemed ineffective hedges, the Company recognized a gain of $24 million, representing the increase in the fair value of swaps.

Additionally, one of the Company’s European subsidiaries has outstanding interest rate agreements (“Interest Agreements”) relating to a Euro-denominated loan. The interest on the Euro-denominated loan is variable. The Interest Agreements change the characteristics of interest rate payments from variable to maximum fixed-rate payments. The Interest Agreements are not accounted for as a part of a hedging relationship and, accordingly, the changes in the fair value of the Interest Agreements are included in Other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The weighted average fixed rate payments on these Interest Agreements was 5.07%. The fair value of the Interest Agreements at September 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $4 million and $3 million, respectively.

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to its swap contracts. The Company minimizes its credit risk concentration on these transactions by distributing these contracts among several leading financial institutions, all of whom presently have investment grade credit ratings, and having collateral agreements in place. The Company does not anticipate nonperformance.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 27, 2008 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II—Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Cases relating to Wireless Telephone Usage

On April 19, 2001, Farina v. Nokia, Inc., et al., was filed in the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County. Farina claimed that the failure to incorporate a remote headset into cellular phones rendered the phones defective by exposing users to biological injury and health risks and sought compensatory damages and injunctive relief. In late 2005 and early 2006, plaintiffs in Farina amended their complaint to add allegations that cellular telephones sold without headsets are defective because they present a safety risk when used while driving and to seek punitive damages. On February 17, 2006, a newly-added defendant to the Farina case removed the case to federal court. On September 2, 2008, the U.S. District Court in Philadelphia dismissed the Farina case finding that the complaint is preempted by federal law. On September 30, 2008, plaintiffs appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

Iridium-Related Cases

Class Action Securities Lawsuit

Motorola has been named as one of several defendants in class action securities lawsuits arising out of alleged misrepresentations or omissions regarding the Iridium satellite communications business, consolidated in the federal

district court in the District of Columbia under Freeland v. Iridium World Communications, Inc., et al. In April 2008, the parties reached an agreement in principle, subject to court approval, to settle all claims against Motorola in exchange for Motorola’s agreement to pay $20 million. On October 23, 2008, the court granted final approval of the settlement and dismissed the claims with prejudice.

Silverman/Williams Federal Securities Lawsuits and Related Derivative Matters

A purported class action lawsuit on behalf of the purchasers of Motorola securities between July 19, 2006 and January 5, 2007, Silverman v. Motorola, Inc., et al., was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors of the Company on August 9, 2007, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 as well as, in the case of the individual defendants, the control person provisions of the Securities Exchange Act. The factual assertions in the complaint consist primarily of the allegation that the defendants knowingly made incorrect statements concerning Motorola’s projected revenues for the third and fourth quarter of 2006. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and other relief relating to the purported inflation in the price of Motorola shares during the class period. An amended complaint was filed December 20, 2007 and Motorola moved to dismiss that complaint in February 2008. On September 24, 2008, the district court granted this motion in part to dismiss Section 10(b) claims as to two individuals and certain claims related to forward looking statements, among other things, and denied the motion in part.

Intellectual Property Related Cases

Tessera, Inc. v. Motorola, Inc., et al.

Motorola is a purchaser of semiconductor chips with certain ball grid array (“BGA”) packaging from suppliers including Qualcomm, Inc. (“Qualcomm”), Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (“Freescale Semiconductor”), ATI Technologies, Inc. (“ATI”), Spansion Inc. (“Spansion”), and STMicroelectronics N.V. (“STMicro”). On April 17, 2007, Tessera, Inc. (“Tessera”) filed patent infringement legal actions against Qualcomm, Freescale Semiconductor, ATI, Spansion, STMicro and Motorola in the U.S. International Trade Commission (the “ITC”) (In the Matter of Certain Semiconductor Chips with Minimized Chip Package Size and Products Containing Same, Inv. No. 337-TA-605) and the United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas, Tessera, Inc. v. Motorola, Inc., Qualcomm, Inc., Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. and ATI Technologies, Inc., alleging that certain BGA packaged semiconductors infringe patents that Tessera claims to own. Tessera is seeking orders to ban the importation into the U.S. of certain semiconductor chips with BGA packaging and certain “downstream” products that contain them (including Motorola products) and/or limit suppliers’ ability to provide certain services and products or take certain actions in the U.S. relating to the packaged chips. The patent claims being asserted by Tessera are subject to reexamination proceedings in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”). In the reexamination proceedings, the PTO has issued rejections of Tessera’s asserted patent claims. A hearing on the merits took place in the ITC in July 2008 and we expect the Administrative Law Judge to issue its recommendation in the case on or before December 1, 2008.

Motorola is a defendant in various other suits, claims and investigations that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of the Company’s pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The reader should carefully consider, in connection with the other information in this report, the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A: Risk Factors” on pages 18 through 27 of the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those stated in forward-looking statements contained in this document and elsewhere. In addition to the factors included in the Form 10-K, the reader should also consider the following risk factors:

We face a number of risks related to the recent financial crisis and severe tightening in the global credit markets.

The ongoing global financial crisis affecting the banking system and financial markets has resulted in a severe tightening in the credit markets, a low level of liquidity in many financial markets, and extreme volatility in credit and equity markets. This financial crisis could impact Motorola’s business in a number of ways, including:


	•	Potential Deferment of Purchases and Orders by Customers: Uncertainty about current and future global economic conditions may cause consumers, businesses and governments to defer purchases in response to tighter credit, decreased cash availability and declining consumer confidence. Accordingly, future demand for our products could differ materially from our current expectations.

	•	Customers’ Inability to Obtain Financing to Make Purchases from Motorola and/or Maintain Their Business: Some of our customers require substantial financing in order to fund their operations and make purchases from Motorola. The inability of these customers to obtain sufficient credit to finance purchases of our products and meet their payment obligations to us could adversely impact our financial results. In addition, if the financial crisis results in insolvencies for our customers, it could adversely impact our financial results.

	•	Negative Impact from Increased Financial Pressures on Third-Party Dealers, Distributors and Retailers: A number of our businesses make sales in certain regions through third-party dealers, distributors and retailers. Although many of these third parties have significant operations and maintain access to available credit, others are smaller and more likely to be impacted by the significant decrease in available credit that has resulted from the current financial crisis. If credit pressures or other financial difficulties result in insolvency for these third parties and Motorola is unable to successfully transition these end customers to purchase our products from other third parties, or from us directly, it could adversely impact our financial results.

	•	Negative Impact from Increased Financial Pressures on Key Suppliers: Our ability to meet customers’ demands depends, in part, on our ability to obtain timely and adequate delivery of quality materials, parts and components from our suppliers. Certain of our components are available only from a single source or limited sources. If certain key suppliers were to become capacity constrained or insolvent as a result of the financial crisis, it could result in a reduction or interruption in supplies or a significant increase in the price of supplies and adversely impact our financial results. In addition, credit constraints at key suppliers could result in accelerated payment of accounts payable by Motorola, impacting our cash flow.

	•	Increased Requests by Customers for Vendor Financing by Motorola: Certain of the Company’s customers, particularly, but not limited to, those who purchase large infrastructure systems, request that their suppliers provide financing in connection with equipment purchases. In response to the recent tightening in the credit markets, these types of requests continue to increase in volume and scope. Although Motorola has not increased its commitments to provide financing in light of these requests, a continuation of the current credit crisis could force Motorola to choose between increasing its level of vendor financing or potentially losing sales to these customers.

	•	Increased Risk of Losses or Impairment Charges Related to Debt Securities and Equity and Other Investments Held by Motorola: The current volatility in the financial markets and overall economic uncertainty increases the risk that the actual amounts realized in the future on our debt and equity investments will differ significantly from the fair values currently assigned to them. In the last year, Motorola has recognized $163 million of other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities held in its Sigma Fund, a fund that is designed to perform similar to a money market fund and in which Motorola invests most of its U.S. dollar-denominated cash. Although the Sigma Fund is a broadly diversified portfolio of highly rated, short-duration debt securities, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be required to recognize additional impairments in the future. Also, many of the Company’s equity investments are in early-stage technology companies and, therefore, may be particularly subject to substantial price volatility and heightened risk from the tightening in the credit markets.

	•	Increased Risk of Counterparty Failures Could Negatively Impact our Financial Position: The Company uses financial instruments to reduce its overall exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on cash flows. In addition, in order to manage the mix of fixed and floating rates for its outstanding debt, the Company has entered into interest rate swaps to change the characteristics of interest rate payments from fixed-rate to short-term, LIBOR-based variable rate payments. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to these financial instruments. In order to minimize this risk, the contracts are distributed among several leading financial institutions, all of whom presently have investment grade credit ratings. Although the Company has not experienced and does not anticipate nonperformance by its counterparties, in light of the ongoing threats to financial institutions from the global financial crisis, there can be no assurance of performance by the counterparties to these financial instruments.


	•	Impact of Negative Returns on the Investments Held by the Company’s Pension Plans: The significant decline in value of many equity and debt securities due to the global financial crisis has had a negative impact on the value of the assets in the Company’s pension plans. Although it is still too early to determine the full extent of this impact for the full year 2008, this decline in value could trigger requirements for the Company to make higher than normal contributions to the pension plans in 2009.

	•	Potential Impact on Ability to Sell Receivables: From time to time, the Company sells accounts receivable and long-term receivables to third parties. Sales are made both on a one-time, non-recourse basis and under committed facilities that involve contractual commitments from third parties to purchase qualifying receivables up to monetary limits. These sales of receivables provide the Company the ability to accelerate cash flow when it is prudent to do so. The ability to sell (or “factor”) receivables, particularly under committed facilities, is often subject to the credit quality of the obligor and the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient levels of credit insurance from independent insurance companies. Although the Company has not currently been limited in its ability to sell receivables, the severe tightening in the credit markets as a result of the current financial crisis could limit the Company’s ability to sell receivables in the future, particularly if the creditworthiness of our customers’ declines. In addition, in certain circumstances it has become more difficult and more expensive to obtain and maintain credit insurance.

We have deferred tax assets that we may not be able to use under certain circumstances.

If the Company is unable to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain jurisdictions, or if there is a significant change in the actual effective tax rates or the time period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or deductible, the Company could be required to increase its valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets resulting in an increase in its effective tax rate and an adverse impact on future operating results.

If our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets become impaired we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, we review our amortizable intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances, indicating that the carrying value of our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets may not be recoverable, include a decline in stock price and market capitalization, reduced future cash flow estimates, and slower growth rates in our industry. We may be required to record a significant charge in our financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets is determined, negatively impacting our results of operations.
