Motorola, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Dollars in millions, except as noted
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of
April 2, 2005 and for the three months ended April 2,
2005 and April 3, 2004, include, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as
of April 2, 2005 and 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 incorporated
by reference in the Companys Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2004. The results of operations for the
three months ended April 2, 2005 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full
year. Certain amounts in prior periods financial
statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform
to the 2005 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 period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
On December 2, 2004, Motorola completed the spin-off of its
remaining equity interest in Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. The
historical results of Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. have been
reflected as discontinued operations in the underlying financial
statements and related disclosures for all periods presented. As
a result, the historical footnote disclosures have been revised
to exclude amounts related to Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
The following table displays summarized information for
discontinued operations for the three months ended April 3,
2004:

Balance Sheet Information
The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries invest most of
their excess cash in the Sigma Reserve Fund LLC
(Sigma Fund), which is a fund similar to a money
market fund. In prior periods, the Sigma Fund marketable
securities balances were classified together with other
money-market type cash investments as Cash and Cash Equivalents.
To provide enhanced disclosure, the Company has reclassified the
Sigma Fund out of Cash and Cash Equivalents and into a separate
statement line entitled Sigma Fund.
The Sigma Fund portfolio includes investments in high quality
(rated at least A/ A-1 by S&P or A2/ P-1 by Moodys at
purchase date) U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations
including certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances and
fixed time deposits, government obligations, asset-backed
securities and commercial paper or short-term corporate
obligations. The Sigma Fund investment policies require that
floating rate instruments acquired must have a maturity at
purchase date that does not exceed thirty-six months with an
interest rate reset at least annually. The average maturity of
the investments held by the fund must be 120 days or less
with the actual average maturity of the investments being
85 days and 87 days at April 2, 2005 and
December 31, 2004, respectively. The Company values
investments in the Sigma Fund using the amortized cost method,
which approximates current market value. Under this method,
securities are valued at
9
cost when purchased and thereafter a constant proportionate
amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until
maturity of the security. Certain investments with maturities
beyond one year have been classified as short-term based on
their highly liquid nature and because such marketable
securities represent the investment of cash that is available
for current operations. The Sigma Fund balance was
$7,349 million and $7,710 million at April 2,
2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

At April 2, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company
had $1.9 billion of gross receivables outstanding from one
customer, Telsim, in Turkey (the Telsim Loan).
During the first quarter of 2005, the Company recovered
$4 million of the amount owed due to collection efforts. As
a result of difficulties in collecting the amounts due from
Telsim, the Company has previously recorded charges reducing the
net receivable from
14
Telsim to zero. At both April 2, 2005 and December 31,
2004, the net receivable from Telsim was zero. Although the
Company continues to vigorously pursue its recovery efforts, it
believes the litigation, collection and/or settlement process
will be very lengthy in light of the Uzans (the family
which previously controlled Telsim) continued resistance to
satisfy the judgment against them and their decision to violate
various courts orders, including orders holding them in
contempt of court. In addition, the Turkish government has
asserted control over Telsim and certain other interests of the
Uzans and this may make the Companys collection efforts
more difficult.
From time to time, the Company sells short-term receivables,
long-term loans and lease receivables under sales-type leases
(collectively, finance receivables) to third parties
in transactions that qualify as true-sales. Total
finance receivables sold by the Company (including those sold
directly to third parties and those sold through short-term
receivables programs) were $885 million and
$868 million for the three months ended April 2, 2005
and April 3, 2004, respectively (including
$831 million and $859 million, respectively, of
short-term receivables). There were $1.3 billion and
$1.4 billion of receivables outstanding under these
arrangements at April 2, 2005 and December 31, 2004,
respectively (including $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion,
respectively, of short-term receivables).
Certain of the short-term receivables are sold through a
separate legal entity, Motorola Receivables Corporation
(MRC), which is a consolidated subsidiary. MRC sells
the receivables to a multi-seller commercial paper conduit.
Under FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities (revised), the Company is
not required to consolidate this entity. The MRC program
provides for up to $425 million of short-term receivables
to be outstanding with third parties at any time. There were
$227 million of short-term receivables outstanding under
the MRC program at April 2, 2005, compared to
$255 million outstanding at December 31, 2004. Under
the MRC short-term receivables program, 90% of the value of
the receivables sold is covered by credit insurance obtained
from independent insurance companies. The credit exposure on the
remaining 10% is covered by a retained interest in the sold
receivables. The Companys total credit exposure to
outstanding short-term receivables that have been sold was
$19 million and $25 million at April 2, 2005 and
December 31, 2004, respectively, with reserves of
$4 million recorded for potential losses on this exposure
at both April 2, 2005 and December 31, 2004.
Certain purchasers of the Companys infrastructure
equipment continue to request that suppliers provide financing
in connection with equipment purchases. Financing may include
all or a portion of the purchase price of the equipment as well
as working capital. Periodically, the Company makes commitments
to provide financing to purchasers in connection with the sale
of equipment. However, the Companys obligation to provide
financing is often conditioned on the issuance of a letter of
credit in favor of the Company by a reputable bank to support
the purchasers credit or a pre-existing commitment from a
reputable bank to purchase the receivable from the Company. The
Company had outstanding commitments to extend credit to
third-parties totaling $522 million and $294 million
at April 2, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
Of these amounts, $334 million and $162 million were
supported by letters of credit or by bank commitments to
purchase receivables at April 2, 2005 and December 31,
2004, 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 amount of loans from third parties for
which the Company has committed to provide financial guarantees
totaled $7 million and $8 million at April 2,
2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively. For the three
months ended April 2, 2005 and April 3, 2004, no
payments were made under the terms of these guarantees. At
April 2, 2005, these guarantees discussed above are to
three customers and are scheduled to expire in 2013. Customer
borrowings outstanding under these third-party loan arrangements
were $3 million and $4 million at April 2, 2005,
and December 31, 2004, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies |
Iridium Program: Motorola 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 District of
Columbia under Freeland v. Iridium World Communications,
Inc., et al., originally filed on April 22, 1999.
On August 31, 2004, the court denied the motions to dismiss
that had been filed on July 15, 2002 by Motorola and the
other defendants.
Motorola has been sued by the Official Committee of the
Unsecured Creditors of Iridium in the Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York on July 19, 2001. In re
Iridium Operating LLC, et al. v. Motorola asserts
claims for breach of contract, warranty, fiduciary duty, and
fraudulent transfer and preferences, and seeks in excess of
$4 billion in damages.
The Company has not reserved for any potential liability that
may arise as a result of the litigation described above related
to the Iridium program. While the still pending cases are in
various stages and the outcomes are not predictable, an
unfavorable outcome of one or more of these cases could have a
material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated
financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
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, and other than discussed
above with respect to the Iridium cases, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse
effect on the Companys consolidated financial position,
liquidity or results of operations.
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 Companys assets or
businesses and require the Company to hold the other party
harmless against losses arising from adverse tax outcomes. The
total amount of indemnification under these types of provisions
is $32 million and the Company has accrued $2 million
as of April 2, 2005 for certain claims that have been
asserted under these 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 as of April 2, 2005.
In all 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 partys claims. Further, the
Companys obligations under these agreements are generally
limited in terms of duration, typically not more than
24 months, and or 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.
As a result of the previously announced realignment, the Company
will now 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. |

Reorganization of Businesses |
The Company records provisions for employee separation and exit
costs when they are probable and estimable. The Company
maintains a formal Involuntary Severance Plan (Severance Plan)
which permits Motorola to offer to eligible employees severance
benefits based on years of service 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 and therefore,
such benefits are accounted for in accordance with Statement
No. 112, Accounting for Postemployment Benefits
(SFAS 112). Under the provisions of SFAS 112, 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 primarily consist of future minimum lease
payments on vacated facilities. At each reporting date, the
Company evaluates its accruals for exit costs and employee
separation costs to ensure that 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.
Three months ended April 2, 2005
For the three months ended April 2, 2005, the Company
recorded net reversals of $6 million for reserves no longer
needed, including $1 million of reversals in Costs of Sales
and $5 million of reversals under Other Charges (Income) in
the Companys condensed consolidated statements of
operations.
The following table displays a rollforward of the reorganization
of businesses accruals established for exit costs and employee
separation costs from January 1, 2005 to April 2, 2005:

Motorola, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
This commentary should be read in conjunction with the
Companys condensed consolidated financial statements for
the three months ended April 2, 2005 and April 3,
2004, as well as the Companys consolidated financial
statements and related notes thereto and managements
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations incorporated by reference in the Companys
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Executive Overview
Our Business
In December 2004, we announced our decision to realign our
businesses into four operating business groups. As a result of
the previously announced realignment, effective January 1,
2005, we now 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. In the first quarter of 2005, the
segments net sales represented 54% of the Companys
consolidated net sales and the segments operating earnings
represented 51% of the Companys consolidated operating
earnings. |
|
|
|
The Networks segment designs, manufactures, sells,
installs and services wireless infrastructure communication
systems, including hardware and software. The segment provides
end-to-end wireless networks, including radio base stations,
base site controllers, associated software and services,
mobility soft switching, application platforms and third-party
switching for CDMA, GSM, iDEN® and UMTS technologies. In
addition, the segment designs, manufactures, and sells:
(i) embedded communications computing platforms,
(ii) fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) and
fiber-to-the-node (FTTN) transmission systems
supporting high-speed data, video and voice, and
(iii) wireless broadband systems. In the first quarter of
2005, the segments net sales represented 20% of the
Companys consolidated net sales and the segments
operating earnings represented 27% of the Companys
consolidated operating earnings. |
|
|
|
The Government and Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment
designs, manufactures, sells, installs and services analog and
digital two-way radio, voice and data communications products
and systems to a wide range of public-safety, government,
utility, transportation and other worldwide markets, and
participates in the expanding market for integrated information
management, mobile and biometric applications and services. The
segment also designs, manufactures and sells automotive and
industrial electronics systems, and telematics systems that
enable automated roadside assistance, navigation and advanced
safety features for automobiles. In the first quarter of 2005,
the segments net sales represented 18% of the
Companys consolidated net sales and the segments
operating earnings represented 19% of the Companys
consolidated operating earnings. |
|
|
|
The Connected Home Solutions segment designs,
manufactures and sells a wide variety of broadband products,
including: (i) digital systems and set-top terminals for
cable television and broadcast networks; (ii) high speed
data products, including cable modems and cable modem
termination systems, as well as Internet Protocol-based
telephony products; (iii) hybrid fiber coaxial network
transmission systems used by cable television operators;
(iv) digital satellite television systems; and
(v) direct-to-home satellite networks and private networks
for business communications. In the first quarter of 2005, the
segments net sales represented 8% of the Companys
consolidated net sales and the segments operating earnings
represented 2% of the Companys consolidated operating
earnings. |
First Quarter
Highlights
|
|
|
|
|
Our net sales were $8.2 billion in the first quarter of
2005, up 10% compared to net sales of $7.4 billion in the
first quarter of 2004. |
21
|
|
|
|
|
We generated operating earnings of $865 million in the
first quarter of 2005, an increase of 26% compared to operating
earnings of $685 million in the first quarter of 2004. |
|
|
|
We generated net earnings of $692 million in the first
quarter of 2005, an increase of 48% compared to earnings from
continuing operations of $466 million in the first quarter
of 2004. |
|
|
|
Our earnings per diluted common share were $0.28 in the first
quarter of 2005, compared to earnings from continuing operations
per diluted common share of $0.19 in the first quarter of 2004. |
|
|
|
We increased our net cash* position by $598 million during
the first quarter of 2005 and ended the quarter with a net cash
position of $6.0 billion. |
The 10% increase in net sales in the first quarter of 2005
compared to the first quarter of 2004 reflects increased net
sales in all four of our segments.
|
|
|
|
|
In Mobile Devices: Strong demand for new product
offerings drove a $261 million, or 6%, increase in net
sales. |
|
|
|
In Networks: Increased spending by our wireless service
provider customers, fueled by new subscriber additions,
next-generation technology upgrades and infrastructure rollouts
in new markets, resulted in a $213 million, or 15%,
increase in net sales. |
|
|
|
In Connected Home Solutions: Increased demand for
higher-end digital set-top boxes resulted in a
$206 million, or 45%, increase in net sales. |
|
|
|
In Government and Enterprise Mobility Solutions:
Increased spending by government and enterprise customers,
partially offset by a decline in net sales of automotive
electronics, resulted in a $59 million, or 4% increase, in
net sales. |
The 48% increase in net earnings in the first quarter of 2005
compared to earnings from continuing operations in the first
quarter of 2004 was driven by benefits from many of our key
initiatives, including profitable sales growth and continued
cost containment. The key contributors to the increase in
earnings were:
|
|
|
|
|
Improvements in Gross Margin: Gross margin as a
percentage of net sales increased to 32.7% in the first quarter
of 2005, compared to 31.8% in the first quarter of 2004. The
increase was primarily due to: (i) our 10% increase in overall
net sales, (ii) improvements in our Mobile Devices segment,
primarily due to improved margin contribution of new products
launched in the second half of 2004 and efficiencies in
supply-chain operations, and (iii) improvements in our
Networks segment reflecting reductions in product cost due to
continued cost containment in their supply chain. |
|
|
|
Reduced Selling, General and Administrative Expenditures
(SG&A): Our SG&A expenditures as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 12.3% in the first quarter
of 2005, compared to 13.0% in the first quarter of 2004, as we
continue to focus on cost containment and a reduction in
discretionary spending. |
|
|
|
Increased Gains on Sales of Investments: A
$101 million increase in gains on sales of investments,
primarily due to gains realized from the sale of a portion of
our shares of Nextel Communications, Inc. |
|
|
|
Lower Net Interest Expense: A $60 million reduction
in net interest expense, driven primarily by:
(i) significantly lower levels of total debt during the
first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004, and
(ii) an increase in interest income due to higher average
cash and Sigma Fund balances at higher interest rates. |
Looking Forward
As we discussed at the beginning of 2005, our main focus is the
continued pursuit of profitable market share growth. We have
aligned our structure to better enable our vision of seamless
mobility. Within this
*Net Cash (Net Debt) = Cash and Cash Equivalents + Sigma Fund
investments + Short-term Investments - Notes Payable
and Current Portion of Long-term Debt - Long-term Debt
22
framework, we will continue to design and develop devices
(consumer and professional) for mobile communications,
partnering with retail and enterprise operators to create
compelling, must-have designs and functionality. We
will continue to design and develop networks to connect people
to people, people to things and things to things
building the infrastructure that makes communication possible.
We will also continue to offer end-to-end solutions for
specialized markets such as mission critical, governments and
automotive.
Targeted plans for improving our competitive positioning and
operating results include:
|
|
|
|
|
Improve execution Our new organizational structure
was in part designed to enhance our speed and ability to execute
on customer commitments. |
|
|
|
Improve financial performance We intend to continue
strengthening our balance sheet which is the
strongest in decades and continue improving our cash
flow, sales and earnings. In addition, we continue to deploy
operational efficiencies to streamline our cost structure and
maximize shareholder value. |
|
|
|
Elevate customer delight and quality We believe that
customers must not only be satisfied but delighted. Quality
metrics and programs have been implemented throughout the
Company to help achieve this goal. |
|
|
|
Offering WOW products and end-to-end
solutions Our products and solutions will help us
establish Motorola as a world leader in seamless mobility
technologies. We are combining our heritage of technology
leadership with design leadership to present customers and
consumers with innovative solutions. |
|
|
|
Strengthen our brand and thought leadership We are
investing to position Motorola as a globally recognized symbol
of quality and innovation. |
|
|
|
Refine and execute on strategic direction We will
continue to prioritize our investments in R&D, as well as
identify partnerships, alliances and niche technologies to build
a strong portfolio. |
We conduct our business in highly-competitive markets, facing
both new and established competitors. However, with our new
structure and focus in place, we believe we are well positioned
to execute our strategy and, in turn, increase our overall
business performance, including higher sales and earnings.

Results of Operations Three months ended
April 2, 2005 compared to three months ended April 3,
2004 |
Net sales were $8.2 billion in the first quarter of 2005,
up 10% compared to $7.4 billion in the first quarter of
2004. Net sales increased in all four of the Companys
segments in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first
quarter of 2004. The overall increase in net sales reflects:
(i) a $261 million increase in net sales by the Mobile
Devices segment, reflecting a 13% increase in unit shipments,
driven by strong demand for new products, partially offset by a
decrease in average selling price (ASP), (ii) a
$213 million increase in net sales by the Networks segment,
driven primarily by an increase in spending by the
segments wireless service provider customers, reflecting
new subscriber additions, next-generation technology upgrades
and infrastructure rollouts in new markets, (iii) a
$206 million increase in net sales by the Connected Home
Solutions segment, primarily due to increased purchases of
digital set-top boxes by cable operators and an increase in ASP
due to a mix shift towards higher-end digital set-top boxes, and
(iv) a $59 million increase in net sales by the
Government and Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment, reflecting
increased spending by government customers, in response to
global homeland security initiatives, and increased demand from
enterprise customers, for business-critical communications
needs, partially offset by a decrease in net sales in the
automotive electronics business.
24
Gross margin was $2.7 billion, or 32.7% of net sales, in
the first quarter of 2005, compared to $2.4 billion, or
31.8% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2004. Two of the
Companys four segments had a higher gross margin as a
percentage of net sales in the first quarter of 2005 compared to
the first quarter of 2004, including: (i) the Networks
segment, primarily due to the $213 million increase in net
sales and reductions in product costs, due to continued cost
containment in the segments supply chain, and
(ii) the Mobile Devices segment, primarily due to the
$261 million increase in net sales, improved margin
contribution of new products launched in the second half of
2004, and efficiencies in supply-chain operations, primarily due
to leveraging a platform strategy and improved factory
utilization. These improvements in gross margin percentage were
partially offset by a decrease in gross margin as a percentage
of net sales in: (i) the Connected Home Solutions segment,
primarily due to a higher volume of sales of new, higher-tiered
products carrying lower initial margins, costs incurred to meet
the increased demand for high-end digital set-tops, and
inventory charges taken relating to a customers
discontinued business, and (ii) the Government and
Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment, primarily due to the
decrease in net sales by the automotive electronics business.

Selling, general and administrative expenses |
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
expenditures increased 3% to $1.0 billion, or 12.3% of net
sales, in the first quarter of 2005, compared to
$970 million, or 13.0% of net sales, in the first quarter
of 2004. This increase was driven by increased selling and
administrative expenditures, partially offset by a decrease in
general expenditures. Three of the Companys four segments
had increased SG&A expenditures in the first quarter of 2005
compared to the first quarter of 2004, while SG&A
expenditures as a percentage of net sales decreased in the
Networks and Connected Home Solutions segments. The increase in
selling expenditures was primarily due to increased advertising,
promotion and marketing expenditures in the Mobile Devices
segment to support brand awareness and new product
introductions, as well as increased selling and sales support
expenditures in all four major segments, driven primarily by the
increase in net sales. The decrease in general expenditures was
primarily due to: (i) the reversal of financing receivable
reserves due to the partial collection of a
previously-uncollected receivable, and (ii) a decrease in
overall employee incentive program accruals. Strategic
investments and costs related to new businesses acquired late in
2004 drove an overall increase in SG&A expenditures in the
Government and Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment. In an
ongoing effort to reduce SG&A expenditures as a percentage
of net sales, the Company continues to focus on cost containment
and reduction in discretionary spending.

|
|
Research and development expenditures |
Research and development (R&D) expenditures
increased 12% to $811 million, or 9.9% of net sales, in the
first quarter of 2005, compared to $725 million, or 9.7% of
net sales, in the first quarter of 2004. All four of the
Companys segments had increased R&D expenditures in
the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004,
although R&D expenditures as a percentage of net sales
decreased in the Networks and Connected Home Solutions segments.
The increase in R&D expenditures was primarily due to an
increase in developmental engineering expenditures for new
product development and investment in next-generation
technologies across all segments.
The Company recorded income of $7 million in Other Charges
(Income) in the first quarter of 2005, compared to income of
$14 million in the first quarter of 2004. The income of
$7 million in the first quarter of 2005 primarily consists
of $5 million in income from the reversals of employee
separation and exit cost reserves no longer needed. The
$5 million in reversals constitute less than 1% of the
Companys earnings before income taxes in the first quarter
of 2005. The income of $14 million in the first quarter of
2004 primarily consisted of $12 million in income from the
reversals of employee separation and exit cost reserves no
longer needed. The employee separation and exit costs are
discussed in further detail in the Reorganization of
Businesses section below.
25
Net interest expense was $8 million in the first quarter of
2005, compared to $68 million in the first quarter of 2004.
Net interest expense in the first quarter of 2005 included
interest expense of $76 million, partially offset by
interest income of $68 million. Net interest expense in the
first quarter of 2004 included interest expense of
$103 million, partially offset by interest income of
$35 million. The decrease in net interest expense is
primarily attributed to: (i) the significantly lower levels
of total debt during the first quarter of 2005 compared to the
first quarter of 2004, (ii) an increase in interest income
due primarily to a higher average cash and Sigma Fund balances
at higher interest rates, and (iii) benefits derived from
fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps.

Gains on sales of investments and businesses |
Gains on sales of investments and businesses were
$239 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared to
$138 million in the first quarter of 2004. In the first
quarter of 2005, the net gains were primarily related to a
$234 million gain on the sale of a portion of the
Companys shares in Nextel Communications, Inc. In the
first quarter of 2004, the net gains were primarily related to a
$130 million gain on the sale of the Companys
remaining shares in Broadcom Corporation.
Charges classified as Other, as presented in Other Income
(Expense), were $9 million in the first quarter of 2005,
compared to $21 million in the first quarter of 2004. The
$9 million in net charges in the first quarter of 2005 were
primarily comprised of: (i) $10 million of investment
impairment charges, and (ii) $6 million in minority
interest expense, partially offset by $6 million of equity
in net earnings of affiliated companies.
The $21 million of net charges in the first quarter of 2004
were primarily comprised of: (i) $14 million in
charges for costs related to the redemption of all outstanding
Trust Originated Preferred Securities
(TOPrS)sm,
(ii) $9 million in minority interest expense, and
(iii) $7 million of investment impairment charges,
partially offset by $6 million of equity in net earnings of
affiliated companies.
The effective tax rate was 36% in the first quarter of 2005,
representing a $395 million net tax expense, compared to
37% in the first quarter of 2004, representing a
$268 million net tax expense. During the first quarter of
2005, the Company recorded $89 million of tax expense
attributable to a $234 million gain on the sale of Nextel
stock that was treated as a significant unusual item in the
effective tax rate calculation. Similarly, in the first quarter
of 2004, the Company recorded $50 million of tax expense
attributable to a $130 million gain on the sale of Broadcom
stock.
In light of recently-passed tax laws, the Company expects to
repatriate cash during 2005, to the extent the repatriation is
consistent with business strategy and is economically
advantageous. The Company is evaluating its repatriation plans
and the impact of the new tax provision and will report the
repatriation provision effect on financial results in the period
that the repatriation plan or plans are defined and approved.
The Company had earnings from continuing operations before
income taxes of $1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2005,
compared with earnings from continuing operations before income
taxes of $734 million in the first quarter of 2004. After
taxes, the Company had net earnings of $692 million, or
$0.28 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2005,
compared with earnings from continuing operations of
$466 million, or $0.19 per diluted share from
continuing operations, in the first quarter of 2004.
The $353 million increase in earnings from continuing
operations before income taxes in the first quarter of 2005
compared to the first quarter of 2004 is primarily attributed
to: (i) a $304 million increase in gross margin,
reflecting the $720 million increase in net sales, improved
margin contributions of new products launched in the second half
of 2004 and efficiencies in supply operations in the Mobile
Devices segment, and a reduction in product costs due to
continued cost containment in the supply chain in the Networks
segment,
26
(ii) a $101 million increase in gains on sales of
investments and businesses, due primarily to a $234 million
gain from the sale of a portion of the Companys shares in
Nextel Communications, Inc. in the first quarter of 2005,
(iii) a $60 million decrease in net interest expense,
driven primarily by the reduction in total debt and increased
interest income due to higher average cash and Sigma Fund
balances at higher interest rates, and (iv) a
$12 million decrease in charges classified as Other,
primarily due to charges for costs related to the redemption of
TOPrS that occurred in the first quarter of 2004. These
improvements in operating results were partially offset by:
(i) an $86 million increase in
R&D expenditures, primarily due to an increase in
developmental engineering expenditures for new product
development and investment in next-generation technologies, and
(ii) a $31 million increase in SG&A expenditures,
primarily due to increased advertising, promotion, and marketing
expenditures in the Mobile Devices segment to support brand
awareness and new product introductions.
Reorganization of Businesses
The Company records provisions for employee separation and exit
costs when they are probable and estimable. The Company
maintains a formal Involuntary Severance Plan (Severance Plan)
which permits Motorola to offer to eligible employees severance
benefits based on years of service 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 and therefore,
such benefits are accounted for in accordance with Statement
No. 112, Accounting for Postemployment Benefits
(SFAS 112). Under the provisions of SFAS 112, 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 primarily consist of future minimum lease
payments on vacated facilities. At each reporting date, the
Company evaluates its accruals for exit costs and employee
separation costs to ensure that 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 changes were
recorded, when it is determined they are no longer required.
Three months ended April 2, 2005
For the three months ended April 2, 2005, the Company
recorded net reversals of $6 million for reserves no longer
needed, including $1 million of reversals in Costs of Sales
and $5 million of reversals under Other Charges (Income) in
the Companys condensed consolidated statements of
operations.
The following table displays a rollforward of the reorganization
of businesses accruals established for exit costs and employee
separation costs from January 1, 2005 to April 2, 2005:

Exit Costs Lease Terminations |
At January 1, 2005, the Company had an accrual of
$84 million for exit costs attributable to lease
terminations. The 2005 adjustments of $2 million represent
translation adjustments. The $7 million used in 2005
reflects cash payments. The remaining accrual of
$75 million, which is included in Accrued Liabilities in
27
the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheets,
represents future cash payments for lease termination
obligations.
|
|
|
Employee Separation Costs |
At January 1, 2005, the Company had an accrual of
$46 million for employee separation costs, representing the
severance costs for approximately 500 employees. The adjustments
of $6 million represent reversals of accruals no longer
needed.
During 2005, approximately 375 employees were separated
from the Company. The $24 million used in 2005 reflects
cash payments to these separated employees. The remaining
accrual of $16 million, which is included in Accrued
Liabilities in the Companys condensed consolidated balance
sheets, is expected to be paid to approximately 125 separated
employees.
Three months ended April 3, 2004
For the three months ended April 3, 2004, the Company
recorded reversals of $13 million for reserves no longer
needed, including $1 million of reversals in Costs of Sales
and $12 million of reversals under Other Charges (Income)
in the Companys condensed consolidated statements of
operations.

Exit Costs Lease Terminations |
At January 1, 2004, the Company had an accrual of
$143 million for exit costs attributable to lease
terminations. The 2004 adjustments of $2 million represent
exit cost accruals which were no longer needed. The
$16 million used in 2004 reflects cash payments. The
remaining accrual of $125 million was included in Accrued
Liabilities in the Companys condensed consolidated balance
sheets at April 3, 2004. Of this amount, the Company paid
out $29 million and reversed $30 million through
April 2, 2005. The remaining accrual represents future cash
payments for lease termination obligations.
|
|
|
Employee Separation Costs |
At January 1, 2004, the Company had an accrual of
$116 million for employee separation costs, representing
the severance costs for approximately 2,100 employees. The
adjustments of $11 million represent reversals of accruals
no longer needed.
During 2004, approximately 1,200 employees were separated
from the Company. The $40 million used in 2004 reflects
cash payments to these separated employees. The remaining
accrual of $65 million was included in Accrued Liabilities
in the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheets at
April 3, 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As highlighted in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows, the Companys liquidity and available capital
resources are impacted by four key components: (i) current
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments,
(ii) operating activities, (iii) investing activities,
and (iv) financing activities.
28
|
|
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
At April 2, 2005, the Companys cash and cash
equivalents aggregated $3.8 billion, compared to
$2.8 billion at December 31, 2004. At April 2,
2005, $853 million of the cash and cash equivalents was
held in the U.S. and $2.9 billion was held by the Company
or its subsidiaries in other countries. Repatriation of some of
these funds could be subject to delay and could have potential
adverse tax consequences.
The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries invest most of
their excess cash in the Sigma Reserve Fund LLC
(Sigma Fund), which is a fund similar to a money
market fund. In prior periods, the Sigma Fund marketable
securities balances were classified together with other
money-market type cash investments as Cash and Cash Equivalents.
To provide enhanced disclosure, the Company has reclassified the
Sigma Fund out of Cash and Cash Equivalents and into a separate
statement line entitled Sigma Fund as described below in
Investing Activities. The Sigma Fund balance was
$7.3 billion at April 2, 2005, compared to
$7.7 billion at December 31, 2004.
In light of recently-passed tax laws, the Company expects to
repatriate cash during 2005, to the extent the repatriation is
consistent with business strategy and is economically
advantageous. The Company is evaluating its repatriation plans
and the impact of the new tax provision and will report the
repatriation provision effect on financial results in the period
that the repatriation plan or plans are defined and approved.
In the first quarter of 2005, the Company generated positive
cash flow from operations of $438 million, compared to
$745 million generated in the first quarter of 2004. The
primary contributors to cash flow from operations in the first
quarter of 2005 were: (i) earnings from continuing
operations (adjusted for non-cash items) of $859 million,
(ii) a $65 million decrease in inventories, and
(iii) a $50 million decrease in other net operating
assets. These positive contributors to operating cash flow were
partially offset by: (i) a $302 million decrease in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, primarily attributed
to the decrease in accounts payable and the decrease in employee
incentive program accruals, partially offset by the increases in
customer incentive reserves, (ii) a $172 million
increase in accounts receivable, and
(iii) a $62 million increase in other current
assets.
Accounts Receivable: The Companys net accounts
receivable were $4.7 billion at April 2, 2005,
compared to $4.5 billion at December 31, 2004. The
Companys days sales outstanding (DSO),
excluding net long-term finance receivables, were 52 days
at April 2, 2005, compared to 46 days at
December 31, 2004. The increase in DSO, which is typical in
the first quarter compared sequentially to the fourth quarter,
was primarily due to lower net sales in the first quarter of
2005 compared to the fourth quarter of 2004, as well as the
slight increase in accounts receivable.
Inventory: The Companys net inventory was
$2.5 billion at both April 2, 2005 and
December 31, 2004. The Companys inventory turns were
8.6 at April 2, 2005, compared to 8.9 at December 31,
2004. 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 with the risk of inventory obsolescence due to rapidly
changing technology and customer spending requirements.
Reorganization of Business: The Company is committed to
productivity improvement plans aimed at improving the ability of
the Company to meet customer demands and reduce operating costs.
The Company has implemented plans designed to adjust our
workforce to align it with the Companys focus on seamless
mobility. Cash payments for exit costs and employee separations
in connection with the Companys various plans were
$31 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared to
$56 million in the first quarter of 2004. Of the remaining
$91 million of reorganization of business accruals at
April 2, 2005, $16 million relates to employee
separation costs and is expected to be paid in 2005, and
$75 million relates to exit costs, primarily for lease
termination obligations, and will result in future cash payments
that may extend over several years.
Benefit Plan Contributions: During the three months ended
April 2, 2005, no contributions were made to the
U.S. pension plan and $8 million of contributions were made
to Non U.S. pension plans. Subsequent to April 2,
2005, contributions of $38 million and $2 million were
made to the U.S. and Non U.S. pension plans,
29
respectively. The Company expects to make aggregate cash
contributions of approximately $150 million to its U.S.
pension plans and $45 million to its Non U.S. pension plans
in 2005. During the three months ended April 2, 2005, no
contributions were made to the postretirement health care fund.
Subsequent to April 2, 2005, contributions of
$13 million were made to the postretirement health care
fund.
The most significant components of the Companys investing
activities include: (i) proceeds from sales of investments
and businesses, (ii) Sigma Fund investments,
(iii) strategic acquisitions of, or investments in, other
companies, and (iv) capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $576 million
for the first quarter of 2005, as compared to net cash provided
of $2 million in the first quarter of 2004. The
$574 million increase in cash provided by investing
activities in the first quarter of 2005, compared to the first
quarter of 2004, was primarily due to: (i) a
$510 million increase in proceeds received from the sales
of Sigma Fund investments, and (ii) a $135 million
increase in proceeds received from the sales of investments and
business, partially offset by: (i) a $53 million
increase in cash used for acquisitions and investments, and
(ii) a $12 million decrease in proceeds received from
the disposition of property, plant and equipment.
Sales of Investments and Businesses: The Company received
$382 million in proceeds from the sales of investments and
businesses in the first quarter of 2005, compared to proceeds of
$247 million in the first quarter of 2004. The
$382 million in proceeds in the first quarter of 2005 were
primarily comprised of: (i) $264 million from the sale
of a portion of the Companys remaining shares in Nextel
Communications, Inc., and (ii) $105 million from the
sale of a portion of the Companys remaining shares in
Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation. The
$247 million in proceeds generated in the first quarter of
2004 were primarily comprised of $216 million from the sale
of the Companys remaining shares in Broadcom Corporation.
Sigma Fund: The Company received $361 million in
proceeds from sales of Sigma Fund investments in the first
quarter of 2005, compared to $149 million in cash used for
the purchases of Sigma Fund investments in the first quarter of
2004. The Sigma Fund balance was $7.3 billion at
April 2, 2005, compared to $7.7 billion at
December 31, 2004. At April 2, 2005, $3.0 billion
of the Sigma Fund investments were held in the U.S. and
$4.3 billion were held by the Company or its subsidiaries
in other countries.
The Sigma Fund investments are managed by four major
outside investment management firms. The Sigma Fund portfolio
includes investments in high quality (rated at least A/A-1 by
S&P or A2/P-1 by Moodys at purchase date) U.S.
dollar-denominated debt obligations including certificates of
deposit, bankers acceptances and fixed time deposits,
government obligations, asset-backed securities and commercial
paper or short-term corporate obligations. The Sigma Fund
investment policies require that floating rate instruments
acquired must have a maturity at purchase date that does not
exceed thirty-six months with an interest rate reset at
least annually. The average maturity of the investments held by
the fund must be 120 days or less with the actual average
maturity of the investments being 85 days and 87 days
at April 2, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
Certain investments with maturities beyond one year have
been classified as short-term based on their highly liquid
nature and because such marketable securities represent the
investment of cash that is available for current operations.
Strategic Acquisitions and Investments: The Company used
cash for acquisitions and new investment activities of
$65 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared to
$12 million in the first quarter of 2004. The largest
components of the $65 million in cash used during the first
quarter of 2005 were: (i) funding of joint ventures formed
by Motorola and Comcast that will focus on developing the next
generation of conditional access technologies, and (ii) the
acquisition of Ucentric Systems, Inc., a provider of media
networking software for the connected home, by the Connected
Home Solutions segment. The $12 million of cash used in the
first quarter of 2004 was comprised of many smaller strategic
investments across the Company.
30
Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures in the first
quarter of 2005 were $103 million, compared to
$101 million in the first quarter of 2004. The
Companys emphasis in making capital expenditures is to
focus on strategic investments driven by customer demand and new
design capability.
Available-For-Sale Securities: In addition to available
cash and cash equivalents, Sigma Fund investments and short-term
investments, the Company views its available-for-sale 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 April 2, 2005, the Companys
available-for-sale securities portfolio had an approximate fair
market value of $2.4 billion, which represented a cost
basis of $489 million and a net unrealized gain of
$1.9 billion. At December 31, 2004, the Companys
available-for-sale securities portfolio had an approximate fair
market value of $2.9 billion, which represented a cost
basis of $616 million and a net unrealized gain of
$2.3 billion. As described above, the Company received
$382 million in proceeds from the sale of
available-for-sale securities during the first quarter of 2005.
The most significant components of the Companys financing
activities are: (i) net proceeds from (or repayment of)
commercial paper and short-term borrowings, (ii) net
proceeds from (or repayment of) long-term debt securities,
(iii) the payment of dividends, and (iv) proceeds from
the issuances of stock due to the exercise of employee stock
options and purchases under the employee stock purchase plan.
Net cash used for financing activities was $44 million in
the first quarter of 2005, compared to $440 million used in
the first quarter of 2004. Cash used for financing activities in
the first quarter of 2005 was primarily attributable to
$98 million to pay dividends, partially offset by proceeds
of $58 million received from the issuance of common stock
in connection with the Companys employee stock option
plans and employee stock purchase plan.
Cash used for financing activities in the first quarter of 2004
was primarily: (i) $500 million to redeem all
outstanding Trust Originated Preferred Securities,
(ii) $91 million to pay dividends, and
(iii) $19 million to repay debt (including commercial
paper), partially offset by: (i) $120 million in cash
generated from discontinued operations, and
(ii) $50 million in proceeds received from the
issuance of common stock in connection with the Companys
employee stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan.
Short-term Debt: At April 2, 2005, the
Companys outstanding notes payable and current portion of
long-term debt was $712 million, compared to
$717 million at December 31, 2004. Net cash used for
the repayment of commercial paper and short-term borrowings was
$4 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared to net
cash used of $14 million in the first quarter of 2004. At
both April 2, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company
had $300 million of outstanding commercial paper. The
Company currently expects its outstanding commercial paper
balances to average approximately $300 million throughout
2005.
Long-term Debt: At both April 2, 2005 and
December 31, 2004, the Company had outstanding long-term
debt of $4.6 billion. The Company did not repay any
long-term debt in the first quarter of 2005, compared to net
cash used of $5 million in the first quarter of 2004.
Although the Company believes that it can continue to access the
capital markets in 2005 on acceptable terms and conditions, its
flexibility with regard to long-term financing activity could be
limited by: (i) the Companys current levels of
outstanding long-term debt and (ii) the Companys
credit ratings. In addition, many of the factors that affect the
Companys ability to access the capital markets, such as
the liquidity of the overall capital markets and the current
state of the economy, in particular the telecommunications
industry, are outside of the Companys control. There can
be no assurances that the Company will continue to have access
to the capital markets on favorable terms.
Redemptions and Repurchases of Outstanding Securities:
The Company did not redeem or repurchase any outstanding
securities in the first quarter of 2005. In the first quarter of
2004, Motorola Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory
business trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
redeemed all outstanding TOPrS, plus accrued interest, for a
total of $500 million.
31
Given the Companys cash position, it 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 Companys liquidity
requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.
Credit Ratings: Three independent credit rating agencies,
Standard & Poors (S&P),
Moodys Investor Services (Moodys) and
Fitch Investors Service (Fitch), assign ratings to
the Companys short-term and long-term debt.
The following chart reflects the current ratings assigned to the
Companys senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term
debt and the Companys commercial paper by each of these
agencies.

In January 2005, Fitch upgraded the Companys long-term
debt rating to BBB+ with a positive
outlook from BBB with a positive
outlook. There was no change in the short-term rating of
F-2. In August 2004, S&P changed its outlook on
the Companys long-term debt to BBB with a
positive outlook from BBB with a
negative outlook. There was no change in the
short-term rating of A-2. In July 2004, Moodys
changed its outlook on the Companys long-term debt to
Baa3 with a positive outlook from
Baa3 with a negative outlook. There was
no change in the short-term rating of P-3.
The Companys debt ratings are considered investment
grade. If the Companys senior long-term debt were
rated lower than BBB- by S&P or Fitch or
Baa3 by Moodys (which would be a decline of
one level from current Moodys ratings), the Companys
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. The Company has never
borrowed under its domestic revolving credit facilities.
The Company continues to have access to the commercial paper and
long-term debt markets. However, the Company generally has had
to pay a higher interest rate to borrow money than it would have
if its credit ratings were higher. The Company has greatly
reduced the amount of its commercial paper outstanding in
comparison to historical levels and has maintained commercial
paper balances of between $300 million and
$500 million for the past four years. This reflects the
fact that the market for commercial paper rated A-2/ P-3/
F-2 is much smaller than that for commercial paper rated
A-1/ P-1/ F-1 and commercial paper or other
short-term borrowings may be of limited availability to
participants in the A-2/ P-3/ F-2 market from
time-to-time or for extended periods.
As further described under Customer Financing
Arrangements below, for many years the Company has
utilized a receivables program to sell a broadly-diversified
group of short-term receivables, through Motorola Receivables
Corporation (MRC), to third parties. The obligations
of the third parties to continue to purchase receivables under
the MRC short-term receivables program could be terminated if
the Companys long-term debt was rated lower than
BB+ by S&P or Ba1 by Moodys
(which would be a decline of two levels from the current
Moodys rating). If the MRC short-term receivables program
were terminated, the Company would no longer be able to sell its
short-term receivables in this manner, but it would not have to
repurchase previously-sold receivables.
At April 2, 2005, the Companys total domestic and
non-U.S. credit facilities totaled $2.9 billion, of
which $63 million was considered utilized. These facilities
are principally comprised of: (i) a $1.0 billion
32
three-year revolving domestic credit facility maturing in May
2007 (the 3-Year Credit Facility) which is not
utilized, and (ii) $1.9 billion of
non-U.S. credit facilities (of which $63 million was
considered utilized at April 2, 2005). Unused availability
under the existing credit facilities, together with available
cash, cash equivalents, Sigma Fund balances and other sources of
liquidity, are generally available to support outstanding
commercial paper, which was $300 million at April 2,
2005. In order to borrow funds under the 3-Year Credit Facility,
the Company must be in compliance with various conditions,
covenants and representations contained in the agreements.
Important terms of the 3-Year Credit Facility include covenants
relating to net interest coverage and total debt-to-book
capitalization ratios. The Company was in compliance with the
terms of the 3-Year Credit Facility at April 2, 2005. The
Company has never borrowed under its domestic revolving credit
facilities.

Customer Financing Commitments and Guarantees |
Outstanding Commitments: Certain purchasers of the
Companys infrastructure equipment continue to request that
suppliers provide financing in connection with equipment
purchases. Financing may include all or a portion of the
purchase price of the equipment as well as working capital.
Periodically, the Company makes commitments to provide financing
to purchasers in connection with the sale of equipment. However,
the Companys obligation to provide financing is often
conditioned on the issuance of a letter of credit in favor of
the Company by a reputable bank to support the purchasers
credit or a pre-existing commitment from a reputable bank to
purchase the receivable from the Company. The Company had
outstanding commitments to extend credit to customers totaling
$522 million at April 2, 2005, compared to
$294 million at December 31, 2004. Of these amounts,
$334 million was supported by letters of credit or by bank
commitments to purchase receivables at April 2, 2005,
compared to $162 million at December 31, 2004. The
Company made loans to three customers totaling $13 million
for the three months ended April 2, 2005, compared to no
loans for the three months ended April 3, 2004.
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 amount
of loans from third parties for which the Company has committed
to provide financial guarantees totaled $7 million and
$8 million at April 2, 2005, and December 31,
2004, respectively. Customer borrowings outstanding under these
third-party loan arrangements were $3 million and
$4 million at April 2, 2005, and December 31,
2004, respectively.
The Company evaluates its contingent obligations under these
financial guarantees by assessing the customers financial
status, account activity and credit risk, as well as the current
economic conditions and historical experience. The
$7 million of guarantees discussed above are to three
customers and are scheduled to expire in 2013.

|
Customer Financing Arrangements |
Outstanding Finance Receivables: The Company had net
finance receivables of $195 million at April 2, 2005,
compared to $170 million at December 31, 2004 (net of
allowances for losses of $1.9 billion at April 2, 2005
and $2.0 billion at December 31, 2004). These finance
receivables are generally interest bearing, with rates ranging
from 3% to 12%. Total interest income recognized on finance
receivables was $2 million for both the three months ended
April 2, 2005 and April 3, 2004.
Telsim Loan: At April 2, 2005 and December 31,
2004, the Company had $1.9 billion of gross receivables
outstanding from one customer, Telsim, in Turkey (the
Telsim Loan). During the first quarter of 2005, the
Company recovered $4 million of the amount owed due to
collection efforts. As a result of difficulties in collecting
the amounts due from Telsim, the Company has previously recorded
charges reducing the net receivable from Telsim to zero. At both
April 2, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the net
receivable from Telsim was zero. Although the Company continues
to vigorously pursue its recovery efforts, it believes the
litigation, collection and/or settlement process will be very
lengthy in light of the Uzans (the family which previously
controlled Telsim) continued resistance to satisfy the judgment
against them and their decision to violate various courts
orders, including orders holding them in contempt of court. In
addition, the Turkish
33
government has asserted control over Telsim and certain other
interests of the Uzans and this may make the Companys
collection efforts more difficult.
Sales of Receivables and Loans: From time to time, the
Company sells short-term receivables, long-term loans and lease
receivables under sales-type leases (collectively, finance
receivables) to third parties in transactions that qualify
as true-sales. Total finance receivables sold by the
Company (including those sold directly to third parties and
those sold through short-term receivables programs) were
$885 million and $868 million for the three months
ended April 2, 2005 and April 3, 2004, respectively
(including $831 million and $859 million,
respectively, of short-term receivables). There were
$1.3 billion and $1.4 billion of receivables
outstanding under these arrangements at April 2, 2005 and
December 31, 2004, respectively (including
$1.0 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, of
short-term receivables).
Certain of the short-term receivables described above are sold
through a separate legal entity, Motorola Receivables
Corporation (MRC), which is a consolidated
subsidiary. MRC sells the receivables to a multi-seller
commercial paper conduit. Under FASB Interpretation No. 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
(revised), the Company is not required to consolidate this
entity. The MRC program provides for up to $425 million of
short-term receivables to be outstanding with third parties at
any time. There were $227 million of short-term receivables
outstanding under the MRC program at April 2, 2005,
compared to $255 million outstanding at December 31,
2004. Under the MRC short-term receivables program, 90% of the
value of the receivables sold is covered by credit insurance
obtained from independent insurance companies. The credit
exposure on the remaining 10% is covered by a retained interest
in the sold receivables. The Companys total credit
exposure to outstanding short-term receivables that have been
sold was $19 million and $25 million at April 2,
2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, with reserves of
$4 million recorded for potential losses on this exposure
at both April 2, 2005 and December 31, 2004.
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. Although it has not previously
happened to the Company, 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.
Legal Matters: The Company has several lawsuits filed
against it relating to the Iridium program, as further described
under Part II Item 1: Legal
Proceedings. The Company has not reserved for any
potential liability that may arise as a result of litigation
related to the Iridium program. While the still pending cases
are in very preliminary stages and the outcomes are not
predictable, an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these
cases could have a material adverse effect on the Companys
consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of
operations.
The Company is a defendant in various other lawsuits, including
environmental and product-related suits, and is subject to
various claims which arise in the normal course of business. In
the opinion of management, and other than discussed above with
respect to the still pending Iridium cases, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse
effect on the Companys consolidated financial position,
liquidity or results of operations.
Segment Information

In the first quarter of 2005, the segments net sales
increased 6% to $4.4 billion, compared to $4.2 billion
in the first quarter of 2004. The increase in net sales in the
first quarter of 2005 was driven by increases in unit shipments
reflecting strong consumer demand for new products, particularly
GSM handsets. The strong demand for new handsets was reflected
by increased net sales in North America, Latin America, Europe
and North Asia, partially offset by a slight decline in net
sales in the segments High Growth region (defined as
countries in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia).
Unit shipments in the first quarter of 2005 increased 13% to
28.7 million units, compared to 25.3 million units in
the first quarter of 2004. Due to the segments increase in
unit shipments outpacing industry growth, the segment believes
it increased its overall market share, both compared to the
first quarter of 2004 and sequentially from the fourth quarter
of 2004. The estimated sequential increase in overall market
share is attributed to demand for the segments compelling
new products. The segment believes it strengthened its hold on
the second-largest worldwide market share of wireless handsets.
The increase in unit shipments was partially offset by a decline
in average selling price (ASP). In the first quarter
of 2005, ASP decreased approximately 7% compared to the first
quarter of 2004 and by approximately 4% sequentially from the
fourth quarter of 2004. The sequential decrease in ASP was
driven primarily by a decline in prices of certain products
introduced in the third and fourth quarters of 2004.
The segments operating earnings increased to
$440 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared to
operating earnings of $406 million in the first quarter of
2004. The 8% increase in operating earnings was primarily due to
an increase in gross margin, which was due to: (i) the 6%
increase in net sales, (ii) improved margin contribution of
new products launched in the second half of 2004, and
(iii) efficiencies in supply-chain operations, primarily
due to leveraging our platform strategy and improved factory
utilization. This improvement in gross margin was partially
offset by: (i) an increase in R&D expenditures,
primarily reflecting increased developmental engineering
expenditures due to additional investment in new product
development, and (ii) an increase in SG&A expenditures,
primarily due to increased advertising, promotion and marketing
expenditures to support brand awareness and new product
introductions.
Networks Segment
The Networks segment designs, manufactures, sells, installs and
services wireless infrastructure communication systems,
including hardware and software. The segment provides end-to-end
wireless networks, including radio base stations, base site
controllers, associated software and services, mobility soft
switching, application platforms and third-party switching for
CDMA, GSM, iDEN® and UMTS technologies. In addition, the
segment designs, manufactures, and sells: (i) embedded
communications computing platforms,
(ii) fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) and
fiber-to-the-node (FTTN) transmission systems
supporting high-speed data, video and voice, and
(iii) wireless broadband systems. For the first quarter of
2005, the segments
35
net sales represented 20% of the Companys consolidated net
sales, compared to 19% in the first quarter of 2004.

In the first quarter of 2005, the segments net sales
increased 15% to $1.7 billion, compared to
$1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2004. The increase in
net sales was primarily due to an increase in spending by the
segments wireless service provider customers, reflecting
new subscriber additions, next-generation technology upgrades
and infrastructure rollouts in new markets. The increase was
primarily driven by increased net sales in North America, due
primarily to strong sales of iDEN infrastructure equipment, and
in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.
In addition, increased net sales in the embedded computing
systems and wireless broadband groups contributed to the overall
increase in net sales.
The segments operating earnings increased to
$234 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared to
operating earnings of $116 million in the first quarter of
2004. The 102% increase in operating earnings was primarily due
to an increase in gross margin, which was due to: (i) the
15% increase in net sales, and (ii) reductions in product
costs due to continued cost containment in the segments
supply chain. This improvement in gross margin was partially
offset by: (i) an increase in SG&A expenditures,
primarily due to increased selling and sales support
expenditures due to the 15% increase in net sales, and
(ii) an increase in R&D expenditures, reflecting
increased developmental engineering expenditures due to
additional investment in next-generation technologies and new
product development. Although both SG&A and R&D
expenditures increased nominally, both SG&A and R&D
expenditures decreased as a percentage of net sales.
On April 20, 2005, Motorola and Verizon announced that the
Networks segment was awarded a five-year contract to supply
equipment in support of the deployment of next-generation FTTP
networks. Motorolas FTTP technology will help Verizon
deliver advanced services, including innovative broadband video
entertainment and quality voice services to the homes and
businesses served by Verizons all-fiber network. As
previously announced in October of 2004, in a separate
multi-year contract, Verizon selected Motorola to help build the
video network infrastructure portion of FTTP, providing video
network infrastructure, video consumer premise equipment, and
integration services.
Government and Enterprise Mobility Solutions Segment
The Government and Enterprise Mobility Solutions segment
designs, manufactures, sells, installs and services analog and
digital two-way radio, voice and data communications products
and systems to a wide range of public-safety, government,
utility, transportation and other worldwide markets, and
participates in the expanding market for integrated information
management, mobile and biometric applications and services. The
segment also designs, manufactures and sells automotive and
industrial electronics systems, and telematics systems that
enable automated roadside assistance, navigation and advanced
safety features for automobiles. For the first quarter of 2005,
the segments net sales represented 18% of the
Companys consolidated net sales, compared to 19% in the
first quarter of 2004.

In the first quarter of 2005, the segments net sales
increased 4% to $1.5 billion, compared to $1.4 billion
in the first quarter of 2004. The overall increase in net sales
reflects increased spending by customers in the
36
segments government and enterprise markets, reflected by a
9% increase in net sales, partially offset by an 8% decrease in
net sales by the segments automotive electronics business.
The increase in net sales in the government market was driven by
the continued emphasis on global homeland security initiatives.
Increased sales in the enterprise market reflect enterprise
customers demand for business critical communications. The
decrease in net sales in the automotive and electronics business
was due primarily to weak industry conditions and a decline in
sales among North American automobile manufacturers. The 4%
increase in net sales reflects sales growth in the Americas and
Asia, partially offset by a slight decline in EMEA. Net sales in
the Americas continue to comprise a significant portion of the
segments business, accounting for 71% of the
segments net sales in both the first quarter of 2005 and
the first quarter of 2004.
The segment reported operating earnings of $167 million in
the first quarter of 2005, compared to operating earnings of
$209 million in the first quarter of 2004. The 20% decline
in operating earnings was primarily due to: (i) a decrease
in gross margin as a percentage of net sales, which was driven
primarily by the 8% decrease in net sales in the automotive
electronics business, (ii) an increase in SG&A
expenditures, driven by strategic investments and costs related
to new businesses acquired late in 2004, and (iii) an
increase in R&D expenditures, driven by increased investment
in next-generation technologies in the government, enterprise,
and automotive electronics businesses.
The scope and size of systems requested by some of the
segments government customers continue to increase,
including requests for country-wide and statewide systems. These
larger systems are more complex and include a wide range of
capabilities. Large-system projects will impact how contracts
are bid, which companies compete for bids and how companies
partner on projects.
Connected Home Solutions Segment
The Connected Home Solutions segment designs, manufactures and
sells a wide variety of broadband products, including:
(i) digital systems and set-top terminals for cable
television and broadcast networks, (ii) high-speed data
products, including cable modems and cable modem termination
systems, as well as Internet Protocol-based telephony products,
(iii) hybrid fiber coaxial network transmission systems
used by cable television operators, (iv) digital satellite
television systems, and (v) direct-to-home satellite
networks and private networks for business communications. For
the first quarter of 2005, the segments net sales
represented 8% of the Companys consolidated net sales,
compared to 6% in the first quarter of 2004.

In the first quarter of 2005, the segments net sales
increased 45% to $662 million, compared to
$456 million in the first quarter of 2004. The increase in
net sales was primarily due to: (i) increased purchases of
digital set-top boxes by cable operators, and (ii) an
increase in ASP due to a mix shift towards higher-end digital
set-top boxes. The segment experienced net sales growth in all
regions, particularly in North America, where net sales
increased 51%. Net sales in North America continue to comprise a
significant portion of the segments business, accounting
for 84% of the segments total net sales in the first
quarter of 2005, compared to 81% in the first quarter of 2004.
In the first quarter of 2005, compared to the first quarter of
2004, net sales of digital set-top boxes increased 67%, due to
increases in both ASP and unit shipments. The increase in ASP
and unit shipments was driven by increased demand for higher-end
products, particularly high definition/digital video recording
set-tops. The segment continued to be the worldwide leader in
market share for digital cable set-top boxes.
The segment reported operating earnings of $19 million in
the first quarter of 2005, compared to operating earnings of
$25 million in the first quarter of 2004. The 24% decline
in operating results was primarily due to a decrease in gross
margin as a percentage of net sales, which was driven by:
(i) higher volume of sales of new, higher-tiered products
carrying lower initial margins, (ii) costs incurred during
the
37
quarter to meet the increased demand of high-end set-tops, and
(iii) inventory charges taken relating to a customers
discontinued business. For first quarter of 2005 compared to the
first quarter of 2004, R&D expenditures increased and
SG&A expenditures remained relatively flat. Both R&D and
SG&A expenditures as a percentage of net sales decreased,
primarily due to the increase in net sales, as well as the
continued focus on cost containment.
In January 2005, the Company announced the acquisition of
privately-held Ucentric Systems, Inc., a provider of media
networking software for the connected home. This strategic
acquisition enables the segment to actively market connected
home software solutions to third-party service providers and
consumer electronics manufacturers. Additionally, the software
will be available as part of the Home Media Architecture
solution for the segments advanced and basic digital
set-top platforms.
During the first quarter of 2005, Motorola and Comcast announced
they have entered into a broader strategic relationship that
includes an agreement for a multi-year set-top commitment. This
agreement extended Comcast and Motorolas agreement for
Comcast to purchase set-tops and network equipment, including
high-definition digital video recorders and standard-definition
entry-level set-top models. As part of this strategic
relationship, Motorola and Comcast also formed two joint
ventures that will focus on developing and licensing the next
generation of conditional access technologies.

Significant Accounting Policies |
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations discusses the Companys
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(U.S. GAAP). 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 and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period.
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 critical accounting policies
require significant judgment and estimates:
|
|
|
|
|
Valuation of investments and long-lived assets |
|
|
|
Restructuring activities |
|
|
|
Allowance for losses on finance receivables |
|
|
|
Retirement-related benefits |
|
|
|
Long-term contract accounting |
|
|
|
Deferred tax asset valuation |
|
|
|
Inventory valuation reserves |
In the first quarter of 2005, there has been no change in the
above critical accounting policies or the underlying accounting
assumptions and estimates used in the above critical accounting
policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement No. 123R
(SFAS 123R), a revision to Statement
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. This standard requires the Company to
measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for
equity awards based on the grant date fair value of the awards.
The cost will be recognized as compensation expense over the
vesting period of the awards. The standard provides for a
prospective application. Under this method, the Company will
begin recognizing compensation cost for equity based
compensation for all new or modified
38
grants after the date of adoption. In addition, the Company will
recognize the unvested portion of the grant date fair value of
awards issued prior to adoption based on the fair values
previously calculated for disclosure purposes. At April 2,
2005, the aggregate value of unvested options, as determined
using a Black-Scholes option valuation model, was
$459 million. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, a majority
of this amount will be recognized over the remaining vesting
period of these options. In April 2005, the implementation date
of SFAS 123R was postponed, and the intent of the Company
is to adopt SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006.
In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151,
Inventory Costs (SFAS 151).
SFAS 151 requires that abnormal amounts of idle facility
expense, freight, handling costs, and spoilage, be charged to
expense in the period they are incurred rather than capitalized
as a component of inventory costs. Statement 151 is
effective for inventory costs incurred in fiscal periods
beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of this
standard may result in higher expenses in periods where
production levels are lower than normal ranges of production.
Because actual future production levels are subject to many
factors, including demand for the Companys products, the
Company cannot determine if the adoption of SFAS 151 will
have a material impact on future results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153,
Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets,
(SFAS 153). SFAS 153 amends Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 29,
Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions (Opinion
29), to require exchanges of nonmonetary assets be accounted for
at fair value, rather than carryover basis. Nonmonetary
exchanges that lack commercial substance are exempt from this
requirement. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary
exchanges entered into in fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2005. The Company does not routinely enter into
exchanges that could be considered nonmonetary, accordingly the
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 153 to have a
material impact on the Companys financial statements.
Realignment of Segments Effective January 1, 2005
As described in a Form 8-K filed on April 6, 2005, the
Company announced its decision, effective January 1, 2005,
to realign its businesses into four operating business groups:
(i) Mobile Devices, (ii) Government and Enterprise
Mobility Solutions, (iii) Networks, and (iv) Connected
Home Solutions. This Form 8-K presented the Companys
2003 full year and 2004 full year and quarterly segment-level
financial information that had been reclassified to reflect the
realigned segments. The realignment had no impact on the
Companys previously-reported historical consolidated GAAP
net sales, operating earnings (loss), earnings (loss) from
continuing operations, net earnings (loss) or earnings (loss)
per share.
The Company has made changes to the financial information
previously provided based on information identified subsequent
to the filing of this Form 8-K. The identified information
did not have any impact on the consolidated financials for the
Company, reflecting only a movement between segments. This
change affected the Operating Earnings (Loss) for the Networks
segment and Other for the quarters ended July 3, 2004 and
October 2, 2004.
For the Networks segment, the adjusted operating earnings for
the quarters ended July 3, 2004 and October 2, 2004
are $168 million and $159 million, respectively, as
compared to the previously-reported operating earnings of
$189 million and $138 million, respectively.
For Other, the adjusted operating losses for the quarters ended
July 3, 2004 and October 2, 2004 are $27 million
and $142 million, respectively, as compared to the
previously-reported operating losses of $48 million and
$121 million, respectively.

Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk |
As a multinational company, the Companys transactions are
denominated in a variety of currencies. The Company uses
financial instruments to hedge, and therefore attempts to reduce
its overall exposure to, the effects of currency fluctuations on
cash flows. The Companys policy is not to speculate in
financial instruments for profit on the exchange rate price
fluctuation, trade in currencies for which there are no
39
underlying exposures, or enter into trades for any currency to
intentionally increase the underlying exposure. Instruments used
as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with
the exposure being hedged and must be designated as a hedge 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
inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract.
The Companys strategy in foreign exchange exposure issues
is to offset the gains or losses of the financial instruments
against losses or gains on the underlying operational cash flows
or investments based on the operating business units
assessment of risk. Almost all of the Companys
non-functional currency receivables and payables, which are
denominated in major currencies that can be traded on open
markets, are hedged. The Company uses forward contracts and
options to hedge these currency exposures. In addition, the
Company hedges some firmly committed transactions and some
forecasted transactions. The Company expects that it may hedge
investments in foreign subsidiaries in the future. A portion of
the Companys exposure is from currencies that are not
traded in liquid markets, such as those in Latin America, and
these are addressed, to the extent reasonably possible, through
managing net asset positions, product pricing and component
sourcing.
At April 2, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company
had net outstanding foreign exchange contracts totaling
$3.1 billion and $3.9 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
offset losses and gains on the assets, liabilities, and
transactions being hedged. The following table shows, in
millions of U.S. dollars, the five largest net foreign
exchange hedge positions as of April 2, 2005 and
December 31, 2004:

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses if counter
parties to financial instruments fail to perform their
obligations. However, it does not expect any counter parties,
which presently have high credit ratings, to fail to meet their
obligations.
At April 2, 2005, the Companys short-term debt
consisted primarily of $300 million of commercial paper,
priced at short-term interest rates. The Company has
$4.6 billion of long-term debt including current
maturities, which is primarily priced at long-term, fixed
interest rates.
40
In order to manage the mix of fixed and floating rates in its
debt portfolio, the Company has entered into interest rate swaps
to change the characteristics of interest rate payments from
fixed-rate payments to short-term LIBOR-based variable rate
payments. The following table displays which interest rate swaps
have been entered into at April 2, 2005:

The short-term LIBOR-based variable rate payments on each of the
above interest rate swaps was 5.3% for the three months ended
April 2, 2005. The fair value of all interest rate swaps at
April 2, 2005 and December 31, 2004, was approximately
$(71) million and $3 million, respectively. Except for
these interest rate swaps, the Company had no outstanding
commodity derivatives, currency swaps or options relating to
debt instruments at April 2, 2005 or December 31, 2004.
The Company designates its interest rate hedge agreements as
hedges for the underlying debt. Interest expense on the debt is
adjusted to include the payments made or received under such
hedge agreements.
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 on these transactions by only
dealing with leading, credit-worthy financial institutions
having long-term debt ratings of A or better and,
therefore, does not anticipate nonperformance. In addition, the
contracts are distributed among several financial institutions,
thus minimizing credit risk concentration.
In March 2003, the Company entered into three agreements with
multiple investment banks to hedge up to 25 million of its
shares of Nextel Communications, Inc. (Nextel)
common stock. The three agreements are to be settled over
periods of three, four and five years, respectively. Under these
agreements, the Company received no initial proceeds, but has
retained the right to receive, at any time during the contract
periods, the present value of the aggregate contract
floor price. Pursuant to these agreements and
exclusive of any present value discount, the Company is entitled
to receive aggregate proceeds of approximately
$333 million. The precise number of shares of Nextel common
stock that the Company would deliver to satisfy the contracts is
dependent upon the price of Nextel common stock on the various
settlement dates. The maximum aggregate number of shares the
Company would be required to deliver under these agreements is
25 million and the minimum number of shares is
18.5 million. Alternatively, the Company has the exclusive
option to settle the contracts in cash. The Company will retain
all voting rights associated with the up to 25 million
hedged Nextel shares. Pursuant to customary market practice, the
covered shares are pledged to secure the hedge contracts. To
reflect the fair value of the Nextel Hedge, the Company has
recorded $306 million in liabilities (of which
$106 million is in Accrued Liabilities and
$200 million is in Other Liabilities in the consolidated
balance sheets) as of April 2, 2005, and $340 million
in Other Liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of
December 31, 2004. The $106 million of liabilities
recorded in Accrued Liabilities were moved from Other
Liabilities in the first quarter of 2005 because the three-year
tranche of the hedge agreements will settle in March 2006.

Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and
procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation
of our senior management, including our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer, we conducted an
41
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by
this quarterly report (the Evaluation Date). Based
on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the
information relating to Motorola, including our consolidated
subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) reports (i) is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is
accumulated and communicated to Motorolas management,
including our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
(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 April 2, 2005 that have materially affected
or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal
control over financial reporting.
Statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking
statements based on current expectations that involve risks and
uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, statements in the Looking Forward
section of our Executive Summary and statements about:
(1) future payments, charges, use of accruals and expected
cost-saving benefits in connection with reorganization of
businesses programs, (2) the Companys ability and
cost to repatriate funds, (3) future contributions by the
Company to pension plans or retiree healthcare benefit plans,
(4) the level of outstanding commercial paper borrowings,

(6) the Companys ability to access the capital
markets, (7) the impact on the Company from changes in
credit ratings, (8) the adequacy of reserves relating to
long-term finance receivables and other contingencies,
(9) the Companys ability to recover amounts owed to
it by Telsim, (10) the outcome of ongoing and future legal
proceedings, including without limitation, those relating to
Iridium and Telsim, (11) the completion and/or impact of
acquisitions or divestitures, (12) the impact of ongoing
currency policy in foreign jurisdictions and other foreign
currency exchange risks, (13) future hedging activity and
expectations of the Company, (14) the ability of
counterparties to financial instruments to perform their
obligations and (15) the impact of recent accounting
pronouncements on the Company.
The Company cautions the reader that the factors below and those
on pages 70 through 80 of the Companys 2004 Annual
Report on Form 10-K and in its other SEC filings could
cause the Companys actual results to differ materially
from those stated in the forward-looking statements. These
factors include: (1) the uncertainty of current economic
and political conditions, as well as the economic outlook for
the telecommunications, broadband and automotive industries;
(2) the companys ability to continue to increase
profitability and market share in its wireless handset business;
(3) demand for the companys products, including
products related to new technologies; (4) the

expenses, including unfavorable outcomes to any pending or
future litigation, including without limitation any relating to
the Iridium project or Telsim; (10) the timing and levels
at which design wins become actual orders and sales;
(11) the impact of foreign currency fluctuations;
(12) the companys ability to use its deferred tax
assets; (13) the impact on the company from continuing
hostilities in Iraq and conflict in other countries;
(14) the impact of changes in governmental policies, laws
or regulations; (15) the outcome of currently ongoing and
future tax matters with the IRS; (16) the
Companys ability to realize expected savings from
cost-reduction actions; (17) unforeseen limitations to the
Companys continuing ability to access the capital markets
on favorable terms; (18) volatility in the market value of
securities held by the Company; (19) the success of
alliances and agreements with other companies to develop new
products, technologies and services; (20) difficulties in
integrating the operations of newly-acquired businesses and
achieving strategic objectives, cost savings and other benefits;
and (21) changes regarding the actual or assumed
performance of the Companys pension plan.

Legal Proceedings |
|
|
|
Cases relating to Wireless Telephone Usage |
Motorola has been a defendant in several cases arising out of
its manufacture and sale of wireless telephones.
During 2001, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation
transferred five cases, Naquin, et al., v. Nokia
Mobile Phones, et al., Pinney and Colonell v. Nokia,
Inc., et al., Gillian et al., v. Nokia, Inc.,
et al., Farina v. Nokia, Inc., et al., and
Gimpelson v. Nokia Inc, et. al., which allege that
the failure to incorporate a remote headset into cellular phones
rendered the phones defective and that cellular phones cause
undisclosed injury to cells and other health risks, to the
United States District Court for the District of Maryland for
coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings in the matter
called In re Wireless Telephone Radio Frequency Emissions
Products Liability Litigation. On March 5, 2003, the
MDL Court dismissed the five cases on federal preemption
grounds. Plaintiffs appealed and, on March 16, 2005, the
United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed
the lower courts decisions. In Pinney, Gillian, Farina
and Gimpelson, it reversed the finding of federal
question jurisdiction and returned the cases to the district
court for remand to the state courts in which they originated.
In Naquin, in federal court on different jurisdictional
grounds, it found no federal preemption, reversed the dismissal
and remanded the case to the district court for further
proceedings. Defendants filed a Petition for Rehearing and
Rehearing En Banc, which was denied on April 12, 2005.
Defendants filed a Motion to Stay the Mandate Pending the Filing
of a Petition for Writ of Certiorari, and that motion was denied
on April 22, 2005.

Case relating to Two-Way Radio Usage |
On January 23, 2004, Motorola was added as a co-defendant
with New York City in Virgilio et al. v. Motorola et al.,
filed in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York. The suit was originally filed in December
2003 (against New York City alone) on behalf of twelve New York
City firefighters who died in the attack on the World Trade
Center on September 11, 2001.
On March 10, 2004, the court, to which all September 11
litigation has been assigned, granted Motorolas and the
other defendants motion to dismiss the complaint on the
grounds that all of the Virgilio plaintiffs had filed
claims with the September 11th Victims Compensation
Fund, that the statutory scheme clearly required injured parties
to elect between the remedy provided by this Fund and the remedy
of traditional litigation and that plaintiffs, by pursuing the
Fund, had chosen not to pursue litigation. On April 12,
2004, plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals
for the Second Circuit; and on April 29, 2005, a panel of
the Second Circuit unanimously affirmed the decision of the
lower court dismissing the case as to Motorola and New York City.
Motorola was sued by the Official Committee of the Unsecured
Creditors of Iridium in the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York on July 19, 2001. In re Iridium
Operating LLC, et al. v. Motorola asserts claims
for breach of contract, warranty, fiduciary duty, and fraudulent
transfer and preferences, and seeks in excess of $4 billion
in damages.
On March 30, 2001, the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of New York presiding over the Iridium
bankruptcy proceeding approved a settlement between the
unsecured creditors of the Iridium Debtors and the Iridium
Debtors pre-petition secured lenders. The settlement
agreement creates and provides for the funding of a litigation
vehicle for the purpose of pursuing litigation against Motorola.
Motorola appealed the approval of the settlement to the United
States District Court for the Southern District
43
of New York. On April 7, 2005, the District Court entered
an order denying Motorolas appeal and affirming the
settlement. On May 4, 2005, Motorola filed a notice of
appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit.
An unfavorable outcome in one or more of the Iridium-related
pending cases described above or previously disclosed could have
a material adverse effect on Motorolas consolidated
financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
Motorola is owed approximately $2 billion under loans to
Telsim Mobil Telekomunikasyon Hizmetleri A.S.
(Telsim), a wireless telephone operator in Turkey.
Telsim defaulted on the payment of these loans in April 2001.
The Company fully reserved the carrying value of the Telsim
loans in the second quarter of 2002. The Company is involved in
the following legal proceedings related to Telsim. The Uzan
family formerly controlled Telsim. Telsim and its related
companies are now under the control of the Turkish government.
On January 28, 2002, Motorola Credit Corporation
(MCC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola,
initiated a civil action with Nokia Corporation
(Nokia), Motorola Credit Corporation and Nokia
Corporation v. Kemal Uzan, et al., against several
members of the Uzan family, as well as one of their employees
and controlled companies, alleging that the defendants engaged
in a pattern of racketeering activity and violated various state
and federal laws including Illinois common law fraud and the
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly
known as RICO. The suit was filed in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the
U.S. District Court). The U.S. District
Court issued its final ruling on July 31, 2003 as described
below.
Upon filing the action, MCC and Nokia were able to attach
various Uzan-owned real estate in New York. Subsequently,
this attachment order was expanded to include a number of bank
accounts, including those owned indirectly by the Uzans. On
May 9, 2002, the U.S. District Court entered a
preliminary injunction confirming the prejudgment relief
previously granted. These attachments remain in place.
The U.S. District Court tried the case without a jury to
conclusion on February 19, 2003. Subsequent to the trial of
the case, and before a final ruling had been issued, the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the
Appellate Court) issued an opinion on March 7,
2003 regarding a series of appeals filed by the Uzans from the
U.S. District Courts earlier rulings. In its opinion,
the Appellate Court remanded the case back to the
U.S. District Court on the grounds that the RICO claims
were premature and not yet ripe for adjudication. The Appellate
Court directed that the RICO claims be dismissed without
prejudice to their being later reinstated. The Appellate Court,
however, upheld the May 2002 Preliminary Injunction, finding
that it was sufficiently supported by the fraud claims under
Illinois law.
In accordance with the mandate from the Appellate Court, on
April 3, 2003, the U.S. District Court dismissed the
RICO claims without prejudice. On July 8, 2003, MCC filed a
motion seeking to have its RICO claims reinstated on the grounds
that pursuing further actions against Telsim would be
futile.
On July 31, 2003, the U.S. District Court entered a
judgment in favor of MCC for $4.26 billion. The
U.S. District Court declined to reinstate the RICO claims
(without prejudice to reinstatement), but held that the court
had jurisdiction to decide the merits of the Illinois fraud
claims. MCCs fraud claims under Illinois common law fraud
and civil conspiracy were sufficient to support a full judgment
on behalf of MCC in the amount of $2.13 billion in
compensatory damages. The U.S. District Court also awarded
$2.13 billion in punitive damages. In addition, the
preliminary injunction was converted into a permanent
injunction, essentially unaltered in scope, and the
U.S. District Court also ordered the Uzans arrested and
imprisoned if they are found within 100 miles of the
courts jurisdiction for being in contempt of court.
Thereafter, the Uzans appealed the U.S. District Court
decision to the Appellate Court. Over the next nine months,
execution on the judgment was, at different times, allowed to go
forward and then stayed by the Appellate Court. For some period
of time, the Uzans appeal was dismissed by the Appellate
Court. On
44
April 16, 2004, the Appellate Court reinstated the
Uzans appeal and reinstated a stay of execution on the
judgment.
On August 11, 2004, the Appellate Court lifted the stay of
execution, in part, and allowed MCC to execute on its judgment
up to the full amount of the compensatory damages,
$2.13 billion. The Appellate Court kept the stay in place
with respect to the punitive damages and on that portion of the
judgment which would have allowed Motorola to execute against
entities owned and controlled by the Uzans. As a result,
MCCs efforts to execute on its judgment against the Uzans
were recommenced in the United States, United Kingdom,
Bermuda and France, and the Company has begun to realize some
collections on its judgment. On October 22, 2004, the
Appellate Court affirmed the July 31, 2003 judgment as to
the compensatory damages of $2.13 billion. The Appellate
Court remanded three issues to the U.S. District Court for
additional findings and analysis. The issues are:
(1) whether the U.S. District Court was correct in
imposing a constructive trust over the stolen shares in favor of
Motorola (the constructive trust was affirmed as to Nokia);
(2) whether Motorola may collect its judgment against
non-party companies owned and controlled by the Uzans, and
(3) the amount of punitive damages the U.S. District
Court may impose against defendants in favor of Motorola. As a
result of this decision, enforcement actions have also
recommenced in Switzerland and Germany, while they remain stayed
in Turkey.
On November 5, 2004, defendants filed a petition for
rehearing and rehearing en banc by the entire Appellate Court.
On December 16, 2004, the Appellate Court denied the
Uzans petition for rehearing and rehearing en banc with
respect to the Appellate Courts October 22, 2004
decision affirming the July 31, 2003 judgment as to
compensatory damages of $2.13 billion. The mandate was
issued by the Second Circuit on December 30, 2004, making
this decision final. A remand to the district court on the
issues on which the Appellate Court requested clarification is
pending. In the first quarter of 2005, defendants filed a
petition seeking a writ of certiorari to the United States
Supreme Court. Motorola has opposed the petition, which is
pending before the Court.
Motorola realized $44 million in 2004 in connection with
its collection efforts related to the Telsim matter. The Company
realized another $4 million in the first quarter of 2005.
The Company continues to believe that the litigation, collection
and/or settlement processes will be very lengthy in light of the
Uzans continued resistance to satisfy the judgment against
them and their decision to violate various courts orders,
including orders holding them in contempt of court. In addition,
the Turkish government has asserted control and priority over
Telsim and certain other interests and assets of the Uzans and
this may make Motorolas collection efforts in Turkey more
difficult.

Charter Communications Class Action Securities
Litigation |
On August 5, 2002, Stoneridge Investment Partners LLC filed
a purported class action in the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Missouri against Charter Communications,
Inc. (Charter) and certain of its officers, alleging
violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and Rule 10b-5. This complaint did not name
Motorola as a defendant, but asserted that Charter and the other
named defendants had violated the securities laws in connection
with, inter alia, a transaction with Motorola. In August
2003, the plaintiff amended its complaint to add Motorola, Inc.
as a defendant. The amended complaint alleges that Motorola
participated in a scheme with Charter in connection
with this transaction to artificially inflate Charters
earnings. On October 12, 2004, the court granted
Motorolas motion to dismiss, holding that there is no
civil liability under the federal securities laws for aiding and
abetting. On October 26, 2004, the plaintiff filed a motion
for the reconsideration of the courts decision. On
December 20, 2004, the court issued its ruling denying
plaintiffs motion for reconsideration of its earlier
decision to dismiss the complaint against Motorola. The court
issued a final judgment dismissing Motorola from the case on
February 15, 2005. On March 7, 2005, the plaintiff
filed a notice of appeal in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals
from the final judgment of the district court.

In re Adelphia Communications Corp. Securities and
Derivative Litigation
On December 22, 2003, Motorola was named as a defendant in
two cases relating to the In re Adelphia Communications Corp.
Securities and Derivative Litigation (the Adelphia
MDL). The Adelphia MDL consists of at least eleven
individual cases and one purported class action that were filed
in or have been transferred to the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York. First, Motorola was named
as a defendant in the Second Amended Complaint in the individual
case of W.R. Huff Asset Management Co. L.L.C. v.
Deloitte & Touche, et al. This case was
originally filed by W.R. Huff Asset Management Co. L.L.C.
on June 7, 2002, in the United States District Court for
the Western District of New York and was subsequently
transferred to the Southern District of New York as related to
the Adelphia MDL. Several other individual and corporate
defendants are also named in the amended complaint along with
Motorola. As to Motorola, the complaint alleges a claim arising
under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and seeks recovery
of the consideration paid by plaintiff for Adelphia debt
securities, compensatory damages, costs and expenses of
litigation and other relief. Motorola filed a motion to dismiss
this complaint on March 8, 2004.
Also on December 22, 2003, Motorola was named as a
defendant in Stocke v. John J. Rigas, et al.
This case was originally filed in Pennsylvania and was
subsequently transferred to the Southern District of New York as
related to the Adelphia MDL. Several other individual and
corporate defendants are also named in the amended complaint
along with Motorola. As to Motorola, the complaint alleges a
federal law claim arising under Section 10(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder and a state law claim of aiding and abetting fraud
relating to Adelphia securities. The complaint seeks return of
the consideration paid by plaintiff for Adelphia securities,
punitive damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, costs
and expenses of litigation and other relief. Motorola filed a
motion to dismiss this complaint on April 12, 2004.
On July 23, 2004, Motorola was named as a defendant in
Argent Classic Convertible Arbitrage Fund L.P.,
et al. v. Scientific-Atlanta, Inc., et al.
(the Argent Complaint). The Argent Complaint was
filed against Scientific Atlanta and Motorola in the Southern
District of New York. The Argent Complaint alleges a federal law
claim arising under Section 10(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder
relating to Adelphia securities. On October 12, 2004,
Motorola filed a motion to dismiss the Argent Complaint.
On September 15, 2004, Motorola was named in a complaint
filed in state court in Los Angeles, California, naming Motorola
and Scientific Atlanta and certain officers of Scientific
Atlanta, Los Angeles County Employees Retirement Association
et al. v. Motorola, Inc., et al. The
complaint raises claims under California law for aiding and
abetting fraud and conspiracy to defraud and generally makes the
same allegations as the other previously-disclosed cases
relating to the Adelphia MDL that have been transferred to the
Southern District of New York. There are no new substantive
allegations. On October 8, 2004, Motorola filed a motion to
remove the California state court case to federal court in
California. On December 1, 2004, the Multi-District
Litigation Panel issued a conditional transfer order
transferring the case to federal court in New York. Plaintiffs
did not object to the conditional transfer order, and the order
transferring the case to New York is now final.
On October 25, 2004, Motorola was named in a complaint
filed in state court in Fulton County, Georgia, naming Motorola
and Scientific Atlanta and certain officers of Scientific
Atlanta, AIG DKR SoundShore Holdings, Ltd.,
et al. v. Scientific Atlanta, et al. The
complaint raises claims under Georgia law of conspiracy to
defraud and generally makes the same allegations as the other
previously disclosed cases relating to the Adelphia MDL that
have already been filed or transferred to the Southern District
of New York. On November 22, 2004, Motorola filed a
petition to remove the state court case to federal court in
Georgia and a notice with the Multi District Panel requesting
the case be transferred to New York. On January 5, 2005,
the Multi-District Panel issued a conditional transfer order,
transferring the case to federal court in New York. On
January 20, 2005, the plaintiffs filed an objection before
the Multi District Panel, contesting the conditional transfer
order. Motorola has filed an opposition brief to their
objection. On April 18, 2005, the Judicial Panel on
Multi-District Litigation issued an order denying
plaintiffs motion to vacate the conditional transfer order
46
and directed that the case be transferred to Judge Lawrence
McKenna, to whom each of the Adelphia cases have now been
assigned.
See Item 3 of the Companys Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended on December 31, 2004 for additional
disclosures regarding pending matters.
Motorola is a defendant in various other suits, claims and
investigations that arise in the normal course of business. In
the opinion of management, and other than discussed in the
Companys most recent Form 10-K with respect to the
Iridium cases, the ultimate disposition of the Companys
pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse
effect on the Companys consolidated financial position,
liquidity or results of operations.
