Motorola Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except as noted)
(Unaudited)
1.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, and statements of cash flows of Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola Solutions” or the “Company”) for all periods presented.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2011-12, which deferred the guidance on whether to require entities to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement where net income is presented and the statement where other comprehensive income is presented for both interim and annual financial statements, as required by ASU 2011-05. The Company adopted all other requirements of ASU 2011-05 effective January 1, 2012.
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting
Assets and Liabilities.” The standard requires additional disclosure to enhance the comparability of U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") financial statements. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2013. Retrospective application is required. The guidance concerns disclosure only and will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

2.
Discontinued Operations
On January 1, 2012, the Company completed a series of transactions which resulted in exiting the amateur, marine and airband radio businesses.  The operating results of the amateur, marine and airband radio businesses, formerly included as part of the Government segment, are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.
On October 28, 2011, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its Wireless Broadband businesses to Vector Capital. The operating results of the Wireless Broadband businesses, formerly included as part of the Enterprise segment, are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.
On April 29, 2011 the Company completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities of its Networks business to Nokia Siemens Networks ("NSN"). The results of operations of the portions of the Networks business are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

In the computation of diluted earnings per common share from both continuing operations and on a net earnings basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the assumed exercise of 6.2 million and 6.0 million stock options, respectively, were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. In the computation of diluted earnings per common share from both continuing operations and on a net earnings basis for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011, the assumed exercise of 8.0 million and 8.8 million stock options, respectively, and the assumed vesting of 0.3 million and 0.2 million restricted stock units, respectively, were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Stockholders’ Equity
Share Repurchase Program: On July 28, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that allows the Company to purchase up to $2.0 billion of its outstanding common stock through December 31, 2012. On January 30, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized up to $1.0 billion in additional funds for use under the existing share repurchase program through the end of 2012. On February 26, 2012, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Carl C. Icahn and certain of his affiliates to purchase 23,739,362 shares of its common stock. The Company paid an aggregate of $439 million during the second quarter of 2012, including transactions costs, to repurchase 9.1 million shares at an average price of $48.30 per share. During the first half of 2012, the Company paid an aggregate of $1.8 billion, including transaction costs, to repurchase 37.1 million shares at an average price of $48.69 per share. All repurchased shares have been retired.
On July 25, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized up to $2.0 billion in additional funds for share repurchase, bringing the aggregate amount of the share repurchase program to $5.0 billion, and extended the entire share repurchase program indefinitely with no expiration date.  As of June 30, 2012, the Company has used approximately $2.9 billion, including transaction costs, to repurchase shares, leaving approximately $2.1 billion available for repurchases.


11


Payment of Dividends: During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company paid $64 million and $134 million, respectively, in cash dividends to holders of its common stock.
On July 25, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase of the quarterly cash dividend from $0.22 per share to $0.26 per share of common stock. The next quarterly cash dividend will be payable on October 15, 2012 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 14, 2012.
Noncontrolling Interest:  On January 1, 2012, the Company entered into a series of transactions which resulted in exiting the amateur, marine and airband radio businesses.  One of those transactions was acquiring the remaining 20% of the land mobile radio business previously owned by our Japanese joint venture.  The acquisition of the remaining 20% of this land mobile radio business, in which the Company already had a controlling interest, resulted in a decrease of $35 million to the Company's noncontrolling interest, and an increase of $20 million to the Company's additional paid in capital, which primarily represents the increase in deferred tax assets from the acquisition of the 20% of the land mobile radio business assets. 

4.
Debt and Credit Facilities
In May 2012, the Company issued an aggregate face principle amount of $750 million of 3.750% Senior Notes due May 15, 2022 (the “2022 Senior Notes”).  Also in May 2012, the Company called for the redemption of the $400 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 5.375% Senior Notes due November 2012 (the “2012 Senior Notes”).  All of the 2012 Senior Notes were redeemed in June 2012 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $408 million.  After accelerating the amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discounts, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $6 million related to this redemption within Other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  This debt was repurchased with a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the 2022 Senior Notes.
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had a $1.5 billion unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility (the “2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement”) scheduled to mature on June 30, 2014. The 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes a provision pursuant to which the Company can increase the aggregate credit facility size up to a maximum of $2.0 billion by adding lenders or having existing lenders increase their commitments. The Company must comply with certain customary covenants, including maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage ratios as defined in the 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of June 30, 2012. The Company did not borrow under the 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Risk Management
Derivative Financial Instruments
Foreign Currency Risk
At June 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $360 million, compared to $524 million outstanding at December 31, 2011. The decrease in outstanding contracts is primarily related to the reduction of foreign assets due to repatriation activities. Management believes that these financial instruments should not subject the Company to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions, except for the ineffective portion of the instruments, which are charged to Other within Other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following table shows the five largest net notional amounts of the positions to buy or sell foreign currency as of June 30, 2012 and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2011:

Interest Rate Risk
At June 30, 2012, the Company had $1.9 billion of long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, which is primarily priced at long-term, fixed interest rates.

12


As part of its liability management program, one of the Company’s European subsidiaries has outstanding interest rate agreements (“Interest Agreements”) relating to Euro-denominated loans. The interest on the Euro-denominated loans is variable. The Interest Agreements change the characteristics of interest payments from variable to maximum fixed-rate payments. The Interest Agreements are not accounted for as a part of a hedging relationship and, accordingly, the changes in the fair value of the Interest Agreements are included in Other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of the Interest Agreements was in a liability position of $4 million, compared to a liability position of $3 million at December 31, 2011.

Counterparty Risk
The use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties. However, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instruments when the derivative is in an asset position. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk. As of June 30, 2012, all of the counterparties have investment grade credit ratings. The Company is not exposed to material credit risk with any single counterparty. As of June 30, 2012, the Company was exposed to an aggregate net credit risk of approximately $1 million with all counterparties.

Income Taxes
At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had valuation allowances of $364 million and $366 million, respectively, including $335 million and $336 million, respectively, relating to deferred tax assets for non-U.S. subsidiaries. During the three months ended April 2, 2011, the Company reassessed its valuation allowance requirements taking into consideration the Distribution of Motorola Mobility. The Company evaluated all available evidence in its analysis, including the historical and projected pre-tax profits generated by the Motorola Solutions U.S. operations. The Company also considered tax planning strategies that are prudent and can be reasonably implemented. As a result, in the three months ended April 2, 2011, the Company recorded a $244 million tax benefit related to the reversal of a significant portion of the valuation allowance established on U.S. deferred tax assets.
The U.S. valuation allowance as of June 30, 2012 relates primarily to state tax carryforwards. The valuation allowance relating to deferred tax assets of non-U.S. subsidiaries was reduced for tax attributes of a non-controlling interest disposed of during the first quarter, partially offset by an increase for current year activity and exchange rate variances. The Company believes the remaining deferred tax assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized based on estimates of future taxable income and the implementation of tax planning strategies.
The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $159 million and $191 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011,

14


respectively, of which $117 million and $150 million, respectively, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate, net of resulting changes to valuation allowances. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company reduced its unrecognized tax benefits primarily for settlements with tax authorities in the amount of $31 million, of which $13 million was recognized as a tax benefit and the remainder reduced tax carryforwards and prepaid tax assets.
Based on the potential outcome of the Company’s global tax examinations or the expiration of the statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will change within the next 12 months. The associated net tax impact on the effective tax rate, exclusive of valuation allowance changes, is estimated to be in the range of a $50 million tax charge to a $50 million tax benefit, with cash payments in the range of $0 to $25 million.
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) concluded its audit of Motorola Solutions, Inc.'s 2008 and 2009 tax years. The Company has audits pending in several tax jurisdictions. Although the final resolution of the Company's global tax disputes is uncertain, based on current information, in the opinion of the Company's management, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, an unfavorable resolution of the Company's global tax disputes could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations in the periods in which the matters are ultimately resolved.

9.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company holds certain fixed income securities, equity securities and derivatives, which are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Fair value is measured using the fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies as defined in the authoritative literature. This guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to each measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions about current market conditions. The prescribed fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies are as follows:
Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.
Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques, in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
The fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities by level in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:

At June 30, 2012, the Company had $504 million of investments in money market mutual funds classified as Cash and cash equivalents in its condensed consolidated balance sheet, compared to $437 million at December 31, 2011. The money market funds have quoted market prices that are equivalent to par.
Using quoted market prices and market interest rates, the Company determined that the fair value of long-term debt at June 30, 2012 was $2.0 billion (Level 2), compared to a face value of $1.9 billion. Since considerable judgment is required in interpreting market information, the fair value of the long-term debt is not necessarily indicative of the amount which could be realized in a current market exchange.
All other financial instruments are carried at cost, which is not materially different than the instruments’ fair values.

Long-term Customer Financing and Sales of Receivables
Long-term Customer Financing

The current portion of long-term receivables is included in Accounts receivable and the non-current portion of long-term receivables is included in Other assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Certain purchasers of the Company’s products and services may request that the Company provide long-term financing (defined as financing with a term of greater than one year) in connection with the sale of products and services. These requests may include all or a portion of the purchase price of the products and services. The Company’s obligation to provide long-term financing may be conditioned on the issuance of a letter of credit in favor of the Company by a reputable bank to support the purchaser’s credit or a pre-existing commitment from a reputable bank to purchase the long-term receivables from the Company. The Company had outstanding commitments to provide long-term financing to third parties totaling $96 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $138 million at December 31, 2011. The majority of the outstanding commitments at June 30, 2012 are related to a variety of government and public safety customers.
The Company had retained the funded portion of the financing arrangements related to the Networks business following
the sale to NSN, which totaled a net amount of $63 million at June 30, 2012. These receivables have an allowance for uncollectable accounts of $9 million classified as current, and $1 million classified as non-current. As of June 30, 2012, $50 million of net receivables are classified as long-term. The remainder of the long-term receivables are current and included in Accounts receivable, net.

Sales of Receivables
The Company had no committed facilities for the sale of accounts receivable or long-term receivables at June 30, 2012 or at December 31, 2011.

At June 30, 2012, the Company had retained servicing obligations for $317 million of long-term receivables, compared to $263 million of long-term receivables at December 31, 2011. Servicing obligations are limited to collection activities related to the non-recourse sales of accounts receivables and long-term receivables.
At June 30, 2012, the Company was subject to a recourse obligation related to the sale of $189 million of accounts receivable sold during 2011 and the first half of 2012 generated by the Networks business and retained after the sale to NSN. This obligation is only triggered upon the insufficiency of a third party legally binding support letter backing the sold receivables. The conditions which must occur in order for the Company to be required to make a payment under this obligation are deemed remote and the fair value of this obligation at the outset of the arrangement and as of June 30, 2012, is zero.

The Company did have financing receivables past due over 90 days as of June 30, 2012 in relation to a loan related to the funded portion of a financing arrangement from the Networks business following the sale to NSN. The Company is no longer accruing interest on this loan as of December 31, 2011. A $10 million reserve was established for this loan due to collectability issues at December 31, 2011, of which $9 million is classified as current, and $1 million is classified as non-current at June 30, 2012.

Commitments and Contingencies
Legal
The Company is a defendant in various suits, claims and investigations that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, an unfavorable resolution could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in the periods in which the matters are ultimately resolved.
Other

The Company is a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which it is obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. In indemnification cases, payment by the Company is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to challenge the other party's claims. In some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by the Company.
Some of these obligations arise as a result of divestitures of the Company's assets or businesses and require the Company to indemnify the other party against losses arising from breaches of representations and warranties and covenants and, in some cases, the settlement of pending obligations. The Company's obligations under divestiture agreements for indemnification based on breach of representations and warranties are generally limited in terms of duration, and for amounts not in excess of a percentage of the contract value. The total amount of indemnification under these types of provisions is $214 million, of which the Company accrued $2 million at June 30, 2012 for potential claims under these provisions.
In addition, the Company may provide indemnifications for losses that result from the breach of general warranties contained in certain commercial and intellectual property agreements. Historically, the Company has not made significant payments under these agreements. However there is an increasing risk in relation to patent indemnities given the current legal climate.
In addition, pursuant to the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement and certain other agreements with Motorola Mobility, Motorola Mobility agreed to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities, and the Company agreed to indemnify Motorola Mobility for certain liabilities, in each case for uncapped amounts.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This commentary should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola Solutions” or the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, as well as our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Executive Overview
We are a leading provider of mission-critical communication infrastructure, devices, software and services. Our communications-focused products and services help government and enterprise customers improve their operations through increased effectiveness and efficiency of their mobile workforces. Our customers benefit from our global footprint and thought leadership. We are positioned for success with sales in more than 100 countries, 21,000 employees worldwide, an industry leadership position, an unmatched portfolio of products and services and a strong patent portfolio.
We report financial results for two operating segments:
Government: Our Government segment includes sales of public safety mission-critical communications systems, commercial two-way radio systems and devices, software and services. In the second quarter of 2012, the segment’s net sales were $1.5 billion, representing 68% of our consolidated net sales.
Enterprise: Our Enterprise segment includes sales of rugged and enterprise-grade mobile computers and tablets, laser/imaging/RFID-based data capture products, wireless local area network (“WLAN”) and integrated digital enhanced network (“iDEN”) infrastructure, software and services. In the second quarter of 2012, the segment’s net sales were $689 million, representing 32% of our consolidated net sales.
Recent Developments
On June 15, 2012, we announced a recommended cash offer to acquire Psion Plc., a leader in mobile computing solutions, for approximately $200 million. The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012, subject to the satisfaction of close conditions.
On January 1, 2012, we completed a series of transactions which resulted in exiting the amateur, marine and airband radio businesses. The operating results of the amateur, marine and airband radio businesses, formerly included as part of the Government segment, are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. 
Second Quarter Summary

Results of Operations—Three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to three months ended July 2, 2011
Net Sales
Net sales were $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2012, up 8% compared to net sales of $2.0 billion in the second quarter of 2011. The increase in net sales reflects: (i) $175 million, or 14%, increase in net sales in the Government segment driven by growth in all regions, and (ii) $11 million, or 2%, decrease in net sales in the Enterprise segment driven by the anticipated decline in iDEN infrastructure sales, as well as a decline related to foreign currency fluctuations, primarily related to the Euro.
Gross Margin
Gross margin was $1.1 billion, or 49.3% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $1.0 billion, or 50.8% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2011. The increase in gross margin of $53 million reflects an increase in gross margin in our Government segment driven by the 14% increase in net sales, offset by a decrease in gross margin in our Enterprise segment primarily related to changes in sales mix, as well as unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, primarily related to the Euro. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011, reflects a 1.2% decrease in gross margin percentage from product sales and a 1.8% decrease in gross margin from services sales. The decline in gross margin percentage from product sales primarily relates to a mix change quarter over quarter with more infrastructure being sold during the second quarter of 2012 than the second quarter of 2011. The decline in gross margin percentage from service sales primarily relates to the expansion of certain managed services contracts which generally have lower gross margin than our traditional service contracts.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased 3% to $496 million, or 23.1% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $482 million, or 24.3% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2011. The increase in expense is primarily driven by an increase in pension and employee benefit related expenses. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased in our Government segment, due to increased sales to absorb the incremental expenses, and increased in our Enterprise segment, due to reduced sales levels and increased expenses.
Research and Development Expenditures
Research and development (“R&D”) expenditures increased 3% to $269 million, or 12.5% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $260 million, or 13.1% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2011. R&D expenditures as a percentage of net sales decreased in our Government segment, due to increased sales to absorb the incremental R&D investment, and increased in our Enterprise segment, due to lower sales with incremental R&D investment. The increase in R&D expenditures reflects higher R&D expenditures in both segments, primarily due to: (i) an increase in employee benefit related expenses, and (ii) increased investment in next-generation technologies, including small strategic acquisitions closed subsequent to the second quarter of 2011.
Other Charges
We recorded net charges of $17 million in Other charges in the second quarter of 2012, compared to net charges of $106 million in the second quarter of 2011. The net charges in the second quarter of 2012 included: (i) $11 million of net reorganization of business charges, and (ii) $6 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangibles. The charges in the second quarter of 2011 included: (i) $50 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangibles, (ii) $48 million of net charges related to legal matters and intellectual property reserve adjustments, and (iii) $17 million of net reorganization of business charges, partially offset by $9 million of pension plan adjustments. The net reorganization of business charges are discussed in further detail in the “Reorganization of Businesses” section.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $16 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to net interest expense of $21 million in the second quarter of 2011. Net interest expense in the second quarter of 2012 included interest expense of $25 million, partially offset by interest income of $9 million. Net interest expense in the second quarter of 2011 includes interest expense of $40 million, partially offset by interest income of $19 million. The decrease in net interest expense in the second quarter of 2012 is primarily attributable to a decline in interest expense due to lower average debt outstanding during the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011. Additionally, interest income decreased due to lower average cash and cash equivalents and lower yields during the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011.
Net Gains on Sales of Investments and Businesses
Net gains on sales of investments and businesses were $3 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $1 million in the second quarter of 2011. In the second quarter of 2012 the net gains were primarily comprised of a gain related to the sale of one of our equity investments.

26


Other
Net Other expense was $25 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to net Other expense of $78 million in the second quarter of 2011. The net Other expense in the second quarter of 2012 was primarily comprised of: (1) $21 million foreign currency expense and (ii) $6 million loss from the extinguishment of debt. The net Other expense in the second quarter of 2011 included an $81 million loss from the extinguishment of debt, partially offset by $6 million of foreign currency gains.
Effective Tax Rate
We recorded $63 million of net tax expense in the second quarter of 2012, resulting in an effective tax rate of 26%, compared to $13 million of net tax expense in the second quarter of 2011, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21%.
Our effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2012 is lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits for facts that now indicate the extent to which certain tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained. Our effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2011 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to a non U.S. pension curtailment gain for which no tax expense was recorded.
While our effective tax rate may change from period to period due to non-recurring events, such as settlements of income tax audits and changes in valuation allowances, we expect our effective tax rate to be close to the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to our current repatriation strategy and the U.S. federal income tax accrual on undistributed foreign earnings.
Earnings from Continuing Operations
After taxes, and excluding the Loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, we had net earnings from continuing operations of $177 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012, compared to net earnings from continuing operations of $50 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011.
The increase in net earnings from continuing operations was primarily driven by: (i) an 8% increase in sales, (ii) improved operating leverage, (iii) a decrease of $89 million of Other charges, and (iv) a decrease of $60 million of Total other expense.
Earnings from Discontinued Operations
In the second quarter of 2012, we had after-tax earnings from discontinued operations of $5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to $299 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011. The after-tax earnings from discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2011 is primarily from the gain on sale of the Networks business.
Results of Operations—Six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to six months ended July 2, 2011
Net Sales
Net sales were $4.1 billion in the first half of 2012, up 7% compared to net sales of $3.8 billion in the first half of 2011. The increase in net sales reflects: (i) $309 million, or 13%, increase in net sales in the Government segment driven by growth in all regions, and (ii) $23 million, or 2%, decrease in net sales in the Enterprise segment driven by the anticipated decline in iDEN infrastructure sales, as well as unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, primarily related to the Euro.
Gross Margin
Gross margin was $2.0 billion, or 49.5% of net sales, in the first half of 2012, compared to $1.9 billion, or 50.6% of net sales, in the first half of 2011. The increase in gross margin of $102 million reflects higher gross margin in our Government segment driven by the 13% increase in net sales, offset by lower gross margin in our Enterprise segment primarily related to the decline in iDEN infrastructure sales, as well as unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, primarily related to the Euro. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales in the first half of 2012, compared to the first half of 2011 reflects a 0.7% decline in gross margin from product sales and a 1.5% decline in gross margin from service sales. The decline in gross margin percentage from product sales primarily relates to a mix change quarter over quarter with more infrastructure being sold during the second quarter of 2012 than the second quarter of 2011. The decline in gross margin percentage from service sales primarily relates to the expansion of managed services which generally have lower gross margin than our traditional service contracts.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased 3% to $968 million, or 23.6% of net sales, in the first half of 2012, compared to $943 million, or 24.7% of net sales, in the first half of 2011. The increase is driven by an increase in pension and employee benefit related expenses. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased in our Government segment, due to increased sales to absorb the incremental expenses, and increased in our Enterprise segment, due to reduced sales levels and increased expenses.



27


Research and Development Expenditures
Research and development (“R&D”) expenditures increased 5% to $523 million, or 12.7% of net sales, in the first half of 2012, compared to $499 million, or 13.1% of net sales, in the first half of 2011. R&D expenditures as a percentage of net sales decreased in our Government segment, due to increased sales levels to absorb the incremental R&D investment, and increased in our Enterprise segment, due to lower sales and incremental R&D investment. The increase in R&D expenditures reflects higher R&D expenditures in both segments, primarily due to: (i) an increase in employee benefit related expenses, and (ii) increased investment in next-generation technologies, including small strategic acquisitions closed subsequent to the second quarter of 2011.
Other Charges
We recorded net charges of $32 million in Other charges in the first half of 2012, compared to net charges of $161 million in the first half of 2011. The net charges in the first half of 2012 included: (i) $20 million of net reorganization of business charges, and (ii) $12 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangibles. The charges in the first half of 2011 included: (i) $100 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangibles, (ii) $48 million of net charges related to legal matters and intellectual property reserve adjustments, and (iii) $22 million of net reorganization of business charges, partially offset by $9 million of pension plan adjustments. The net reorganization of business charges are discussed in further detail in the “Reorganization of Businesses” section.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $30 million in the first half of 2012, compared to net interest expense of $41 million in the first half of 2011. Net interest expense in the first half of 2012 included interest expense of $50 million, partially offset by interest income of $20 million. Net interest expense in the first half of 2011 includes interest expense of $74 million, partially offset by interest income of $33 million. The decrease in net interest expense in the first half of 2012 is primarily attributable to a decline in interest expense due to lower average debt outstanding during the first half of 2012 compared to the first half of 2011. Additionally, interest income decreased due to lower average cash and cash equivalents and lower yields during the first half of 2012 compared to the first half of 2011.
Net Gains on Sales of Investments and Businesses
Net gains on sales of investments and businesses were $20 million in the first half of 2012, compared to $19 million in the first half of 2011. In both the first half of 2012 and the first half of 2011, the net gains were primarily related to the sale of one of our equity investments.
Other
Net Other expense was $16 million in the first half of 2012, compared to net Other expense of $73 million in the first half of 2011. The net Other expense in the first half of 2012 was primarily comprised of: (i) $11 million foreign currency expense, and (ii) $6 million loss from the extinguishment of debt. The net Other expense in the first half of 2011 was primarily comprised of $81 million of charges related to a loss from the extinguishment of our outstanding long-term debt, partially offset by $11 million of foreign currency gains.
Effective Tax Rate
We recorded $148 million of net tax expense in the first half of 2012, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31%, compared to $176 million of net tax benefit in the first half of 2011, resulting in a negative effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate in the first half of 2012 is lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits for facts that now indicate the extent to which certain tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained. Our negative effective tax rate in the first half of 2011 was primarily related to the recording of a $244 million non-cash tax benefit for the reversal of a significant portion of the valuation allowance established on the U.S. deferred tax assets.
While our effective tax rate may change from period to period due to non-recurring events, such as settlements of income tax audits and changes in valuation allowances, we expect our effective tax rate to be close to the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to our current repatriation strategy and the U.S. federal income tax accrual on undistributed foreign earnings.
Earnings from Continuing Operations
After taxes, and excluding the Loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, we had net earnings from continuing operations of $336 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, in the first half of 2012, compared to net earnings from continuing operations of $417 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, in the first half of 2011.
The decrease in net earnings from continuing operations was primarily driven by the $244 million benefit for the valuation allowance reversal recorded during the first half of 2011. The decrease in income tax benefit was partially offset by (i) $129 million decrease in Other charges, and (ii) $102 million increase in gross margin.


28


Earnings from Discontinued Operations
In the first half of 2012, we had an after-tax gain from discontinued operations of $3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to $429 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, in the first half of 2011. The gain in the first half of 2011 was primarily from the operations and gain on the sale of the Networks business.

Three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to three months ended July 2, 2011
The segment’s net sales were $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2012 and $1.3 billion during the second quarter of 2011. The increase in net sales in the Government segment reflects an increase in sales of mission-critical infrastructure, professional commercial radio products, application products, and services. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in all regions compared to the year-ago quarter. Net sales in North America continued to comprise a significant portion of the segment’s business, accounting for approximately 64% of the segment’s sales in the second quarter of 2012 and 65% of the segment’s sales in the second quarter 2011.
The segment had operating earnings of $197 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to operating earnings of $105 million in the second quarter of 2011. As a percentage of net sales in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the second quarter of 2011, gross margin, SG&A and R&D expenditures decreased. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to: (i) an increase in gross margin, driven by the 14% increase in net sales, and (ii) a decline in Other charges, primarily driven by net legal matters that occurred in the second quarter of 2011, partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses and R&D expenditures. The increases in SG&A expenses were primarily due to increases in pension and employee benefit related expenses, and the increase in R&D expenditures was primarily driven by higher employee benefit related expenses and increased investment in next-generation technologies.
Six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to six months ended July 2, 2011
The segment’s net sales were $2.8 billion in the first half of 2012 and $2.5 billion during the first half of 2011. The increase in net sales in the Government segment reflects an increase in sales of mission-critical infrastructure and professional commercial radio products, and services. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in all regions compared to the first half of 2011. Net sales in North America continued to comprise a significant portion of the segment’s business, accounting for approximately 63% of the segment’s sales in both the first half of 2012 and 2011.
The segment had operating earnings of $347 million in the first half of 2012, compared to operating earnings of $204 million in the first half of 2011. As a percentage of net sales in the first half of 2012 as compared to the first half of 2011, gross margin, SG&A and R&D expenditures decreased. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to: (i) an increase in gross margin, driven by the 13% increase in net sales, and (ii) a decline in Other charges, primarily driven by net legal matters that occurred in the first half of 2011, partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses and R&D expenditures. The increase in expenses was due to increases in pension and employee benefit related expenses, and the increase in R&D expenditures was driven by higher employee benefit related expenses and increased investment in next-generation technologies.
Enterprise Segment
For the second quarter of 2012 the segment’s net sales represented 32% of our consolidated net sales, and 35% of our consolidated net sales in the second quarter of 2011 For the first half of 2012, the segment's net sales represented 33% of our consolidated net sales, compared to 36% in the first half of 2011.

Three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to three months ended July 2, 2011
In the second quarter of 2012, the segment’s net sales were $689 million, a 2% decrease compared to net sales of $700 million in the second quarter of 2011. The 2% decrease in net sales in the Enterprise segment reflects a decrease in iDEN infrastructure and WLAN, partially offset by an increase in mobile computing and scanning equipment. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in North America and Asia, and decreased in Latin America and EMEA. The decrease in Latin America was due to the anticipated decline in iDEN infrastructure, whereas the decline in EMEA was primarily driven by foreign currency fluctuations. Net sales in North America continued to comprise a significant portion of the segment’s business, accounting for approximately 46% and 45% of the segment’s net sales in the second quarter of 2012 and the second quarter of 2011, respectively.
The segment had operating earnings of $81 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to operating earnings of $54 million in the second quarter of 2011. As a percentage of net sales in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the second quarter of 2011, gross margin decreased, and SG&A expenses and R&D expenditures increased. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to a decrease in Other charges, as a result of a reduction in intangibles amortization as certain intangible assets associated with the Symbol acquisition have fully amortized, as well as a decline from net legal matters that occurred in the first half of 2011. The decrease in Other charges was partially offset by: (i) a decrease in gross margin, primarily attributable to changes in sales mix, as well as a decline related to foreign currency fluctuations, (ii) increased SG&A expenses due to increases in pension and employee benefit expenses, and (iii) an increase in R&D expenditures, driven by higher employee benefit expenses and increased investment in next-generation technologies, including small strategic acquisitions, closed subsequent to the second quarter of 2011.
Six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to six months ended July 2, 2011
The segment’s net sales were $1.3 billion in the first half of 2012 and $1.4 billion during the first half of 2011. The 2% decrease in net sales in the Enterprise segment reflects a decrease in iDEN infrastructure and WLAN partially offset by an increase in mobile computing and scanning equipment. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in North America and Asia, and decreased in Latin America and EMEA. The decrease in Latin America was due to the anticipated decline in iDEN, whereas the decline in EMEA was primarily driven by foreign currency fluctuations. Net sales in North America continued to comprise a significant portion of the segment’s business, accounting for approximately 48% and 45% of the segment’s net sales in the first half of 2012 and the first half of 2011, respectively.
The segment had operating earnings of $163 million in the first half of 2012, compared to operating earnings of $124 million in the first half of 2011. As a percentage of net sales in the first half of 2012 as compared to the first half of 2011, gross margin decreased, and SG&A and R&D expenditures increased. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to a decrease in Other charges, as a result of a reduction in intangibles amortization as certain intangible assets associated with the Symbol acquisition have fully amortized, as well as a decline from net legal matters that occurred in the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in Other charges was partially offset by: (i) a decrease in gross margin, primarily attributable to the anticipated decline in iDEN infrastructure, as well as a decline related to foreign currency fluctuations, (ii) increased SG&A expenses due to increases in pension and stock compensation expenses, and (iii) an increase in R&D expenditures, driven by higher employee benefit expenses and increased investment in next-generation technologies, including small strategic acquisitions, closed subsequent to the second quarter of 2011.

Reorganization of Businesses
During the first half of 2012, we implemented various productivity improvement plans aimed at achieving long term, sustainable profitability by driving efficiencies and reducing operating costs. During the second quarter of 2012, we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $14 million related to the separation of approximately 200 primarily indirect employees.  Included in the aggregate $14 million of charges were $11 million of charges under Other charges and $3 million of charges in Costs of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $23 million, including $20 million of charges under Other charges and $3 million of charges in Costs of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the aggregate $23 million are charges of $26 million for employee separation costs and $1 million for building impairment charges, partially offset by $4 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed.

30


During the three months ended July 2, 2011, we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $17 million, primarily under Other charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the $17 million are charges of $5 million for employee separation costs and $13 million for lease exit costs, partially offset by $1 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed.    
During the six months ended July 2, 2011, we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $25 million, including $3 million of charges in Costs of sales and $22 million of charges under Other charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the $25 million are charges of $14 million for employee separation costs and $13 million related to the exit of leased facilities, partially offset by $2 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed.
We expect to realize cost-saving benefits of approximately $19 million during the remaining six months of 2012 from the plans that were initiated during the first six months of 2012, primarily in SG&A expenses. Beyond 2012, we expect the reorganization plans initiated during the first six months of 2012 to provide annualized cost savings of approximately $34 million, consisting of: (i) $19 million of savings in SG&A expenses, (ii) $8 million of savings in Cost of sales, and (iii) $7 million of savings in R&D expenditures.
The following table displays the net charges incurred by business segment:

Cash payments for employee severance and exit costs in connection with the reorganization of business plans were $30 million in the first six months of 2012, as compared to $52 million in the first six months of 2011. Of the $39 million of reorganization of businesses accruals at June 30, 2012, $27 million relate to employee separation costs and are expected to be paid in 2012 and 2013. The remaining $12 million in accruals relate to lease termination obligations that are expected to be paid over a number of years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We decreased the aggregate of our (i) cash and cash equivalent balances, and (ii) Sigma Fund and short-term investments by $1.4 billion from $5.1 billion as of December 31, 2011 to $3.7 billion as of June 30, 2012, primarily due to: (i) the return of $1.9 billion of capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends paid during the first half of 2012 and (ii) the $411 million used for the retirement of debt, offset by $747 million of net proceeds from the issuance of debt.
As highlighted in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, our liquidity and available capital resources are impacted by four key components: (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) operating activities, (iii) investing activities, and (iv) financing activities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our cash and cash equivalents (which are highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less) were $1.8 billion at June 30, 2012, compared to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2011. At June 30, 2012, approximately $354 million of this amount was held in the U.S. and $1.4 billion was held by the Company or its subsidiaries in other countries (including $348 million in China). At June 30, 2012 restricted cash was $62 million, compared to $63 million at December 31, 2011, (including $2 million and $3 million, respectively, held outside the U.S.).
Repatriation of foreign funds continues to be a priority given our domestic cash needs. We continuously analyze and review various repatriation strategies to efficiently repatriate funds in the context of meeting our business needs in a tax efficient manner. During the first six months of 2012, we repatriated $692 million in funds to the U.S. from international jurisdictions. We have approximately $1.6 billion of earnings in foreign subsidiaries that are not permanently reinvested and may be repatriated without an additional income tax charge, given the U.S. federal and foreign income tax accrued on undistributed earnings and the utilization of available foreign tax credits. Where appropriate, we may also pursue capital reduction activities; however, such activities can be more involved and lengthy. While we regularly repatriate funds, and a portion of offshore funds can be repatriated with minimal adverse financial impact, repatriation of some of these funds may be subject to delay for local country approvals and could have potential adverse cash tax consequences.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations in the first half of 2012 was $322 million, compared to

31


$327 million in 2011. Operating cash flows in the first half of 2012, as compared to the first half of 2011, were positively impacted by increased sales and expanded operating margins, increased accounts receivable collections, and lower interest payments.  These impacts were offset by increased bonus payments to employees, including portions of the 2011 annual bonus payments for Networks' employees prior to sale, and higher tax payments driven by repatriation activities. 
We contributed $132 million to our U.S. pension plans during the first half of 2012, compared to $116 million contributed in the first half of 2011. We contributed $18 million to our non-U.S. pension plans during the first half of 2012, compared to $23 million contributed in the first half of 2011. In January 2011, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) announced an agreement with Motorola Solutions under which we would contribute $100 million above and beyond our legal requirement to one of our U.S. pension plans over the next five years. We and the PBGC entered into the agreement as we were in the process of separating Motorola Mobility and pursuing the sale of certain assets of the Networks business. We made an additional $250 million of pension contributions to one of our U.S. pension plans over the amounts required in the fourth quarter 2011, of which $100 million fulfilled the PBGC obligation. During 2012, we expect to make cash contributions of approximately $340 million to our U.S. pension plans and approximately $30 million to our non-U.S. pension plans. Subsequent to June 30, 2012, we contributed $72 million to our U.S. pension plans.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.2 billion in the first six months of 2012, compared to net cash provided of $1.3 billion in the first six months of 2011. This $106 million decrease was primarily due to the proceeds from the sale of the Networks business received in the first six months of 2011, offset by an increase in proceeds from sales of Sigma Fund investments.
Sigma Fund: We and our wholly-owned subsidiaries invest most of our U.S. dollar-denominated cash in a fund (the “Sigma Fund”) that allows us to efficiently manage our cash around the world. We had net proceeds from sales of $1.3 billion of Sigma Fund investments in the first six months of 2012, compared to $266 million in net sales of Sigma Fund investments in the first six months of 2011. The aggregate fair value of Sigma Fund investments was $1.9 billion at June 30, 2012 (including $936 million held outside the U.S.), compared to $3.2 billion at December 31, 2011 (including $1.3 billion held outside the U.S.).
At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Sigma Fund was invested in cash and U.S. government, agency and government-sponsored enterprise obligations.  The investments had a weighted average maturity of less than 30 days.  This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize liquidity and capital preservation.
We continuously assess our cash needs and continue to believe that the balance of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and investments in the Sigma Fund are more than adequate to meet our current operating requirements over the next twelve months.
Acquisition and Investments: On February 27, 2012, we completed an agreement with Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. ("NSN") to take over the Norwegian nationwide Terrestrial Trunked Radio ("TETRA") public safety network. With this transaction, we have broadened our scope from being a sub-supplier of the technology for the core TETRA digital radio communications infrastructure to become the prime contractor, including all managed services for the rollout, implementation, and operation of the system.
We received $68 million in net proceeds from acquisitions and investments in the first six months of 2012, primarily related to the agreement with NSN to take over responsibility to implement Norway´s TETRA public safety network.
Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures increased in the first six months of 2012 to $101 million, compared to $60 million in the first six months of 2011, primarily due to an increase in investments related to generating service revenue opportunities and an increase in information technology investments.
Sales of Investments and Businesses: We made $67 million of disbursements related to the sales of investments and businesses in the first six months of 2012, compared to proceeds of $1.1 billion in the first six months of 2011. The disbursements in the first six months of 2012 were primarily comprised of payments to NSN related to the purchase price adjustment from the sale of the Networks business, partially offset by proceeds from sales of certain of our equity investments. The proceeds in the first six months of 2011 were primarily comprised of net proceeds received in connection with sales of: (i) the Networks business, (ii) certain of our equity investments, and (iii) the Israel-based module business.
Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities was $1.6 billion in the first six months of 2012, compared to net cash used of $3.6 billion in the first six months of 2011. Cash used for financing activities in the first six months of 2012 was primarily comprised of: (i) $1.8 billion used for purchases of our common stock under our share repurchase program, (ii) $411 million of cash used for the repayment of debt, and (iii) $134 million of cash used for the payment of dividends, partially offset by: (i) $747 million of net proceeds from the issuance of debt, and (ii) $63 million of net cash received from the issuance of common stock in connection with our employee stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan. Net cash used for financing

32


activities in the first six months of 2011 was primarily comprised of: (i) $3.2 billion cash contribution relating to the Distribution of Motorola Mobility and (ii) $616 million of cash used for the repayment of debt, partially offset by: (i) $128 million of net cash received from the issuance of common stock in connection with our employee stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans and (ii) $81 million of distributions from discontinued operations.
Current Portion of Long-Term Debt: Our current portion of long-term debt was $4 million at June 30, 2012, and $405 million at December 31, 2011.
Long-Term Portion of Long-Term Debt: We had outstanding long-term debt of $1.9 billion at June 30, 2012, and $1.1 billion at December 31, 2011.
In May 2012, we issued an aggregate face principle amount of $750 million of 3.750% Senior Notes due May 15, 2022 (the “2022 Senior Notes”).  Also in May 2012, we called for the redemption of the $400 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 5.375% Senior Notes due November 2012 (the “2012 Senior Notes”).  All of the 2012 Senior Notes were redeemed in June 2012 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $408 million.  This debt was repurchased with a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the 2022 Senior Notes.
We have investment grade ratings on our senior unsecured long-term debt from the three largest U.S. national rating agencies. We believe that we will be able to maintain sufficient access to the capital markets at our current ratings. Any future disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the capital markets may result in higher funding costs for us and adversely affect our ability to access funds.
We may from time to time seek to retire certain of our outstanding debt through open market cash purchases, privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.
Share Repurchase Program: On July 28, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that allows us to purchase up to $2.0 billion of our outstanding common stock through December 31, 2012. On January 30, 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized up to $1.0 billion in additional funds for use under the existing share repurchase program through the end of 2012. On February 26, 2012, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Carl C. Icahn and certain of his affiliates to purchase 23,739,362 shares of our common stock for $1.2 billion. We paid an aggregate of $439 million during the second quarter of 2012, including transactions costs, to repurchase 9.1 million shares at an average price of $48.30 per share. During the first half of 2012, we paid an aggregate of $1.8 billion, including transaction costs, to repurchase 37.1 million shares at an average price of $48.69 per share. All repurchased shares have been retired.
On July 25, 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized up to $2.0 billion in additional funds for share repurchase, bringing the aggregate amount of the share repurchase program to $5.0 billion, and extended the entire share repurchase program indefinitely with no expiration date.  As of June 30, 2012, the Company has used approximately $2.9 billion, including transaction costs, to repurchase shares, leaving approximately $2.1 billion available for repurchases.
Payment of Dividends: During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we paid $134 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock.
On July 25, 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors approved an increase of the quarterly cash dividend from $0.22 per share to $0.26 per share of common stock. The next quarterly cash dividend will be payable on October 15, 2012 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 14, 2012.
Credit Facilities
As of June 30, 2012, we had a $1.5 billion unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility (the “2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement”) scheduled to mature on June 30, 2014. The 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes a provision pursuant to which we can increase the aggregate credit facility size up to a maximum of $2.0 billion by adding lenders or having existing lenders increase their commitments. We must comply with certain customary covenants, including maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage ratios as defined in the 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with our financial covenants as of June 30, 2012. We did not borrow under the 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.
Long-Term Customer Financing Commitments
Outstanding Commitments:    Certain purchasers of our products and services may request that we provide long-term financing (defined as financing with a term of greater than one year) in connection with the sale of products and services. These requests may include all or a portion of the purchase price of the products and services. Our obligation to provide long-term financing may be conditioned on the issuance of a letter of credit in favor of us by a reputable bank to support the purchaser’s credit or a pre-existing commitment from a reputable bank to purchase the long-term receivables from us. We had outstanding commitments to provide long-term financing to third parties totaling $96 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $138 million at December 31, 2011. The majority of the outstanding commitments at June 30, 2012 are related to a variety of government and

33


public safety customers.
Outstanding Long-Term Receivables:    We had net non-current long-term receivables of $50 million (net of allowances for losses of $1 million) at June 30, 2012, compared to net long-term receivables of $37 million (net of allowances for losses of $10 million) at December 31, 2011. These long-term receivables are generally interest bearing, with interest rates generally ranging from 3% to 13%.
Sales of Receivables
We had no committed facilities for the sale of long-term receivables or short-term receivables at June 30, 2012 or at December 31, 2011.
The following table summarizes the proceeds received from non-recourse sales of accounts receivable and long-term receivables for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011:

At June 30, 2012, we had retained servicing obligations for $317 million of sold long-term receivables, compared to $263 million of sold long-term receivables at December 31, 2011. Servicing obligations are limited to collection activities related to the non-recourse sales of accounts receivables and long-term receivables.
Other Contingencies
Potential Contractual Damage Claims in Excess of Underlying Contract Value:    In certain circumstances, we 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 we receive from the contract. Contracts with these types of uncapped damage provisions are fairly rare, but individual contracts could still represent meaningful risk. There is a possibility that a damage claim by a counterparty to one of these contracts could result in expenses to us that are far in excess of the revenue received from the counterparty in connection with the contract.
Indemnification Provisions:    In addition, we may provide indemnifications for losses that result from the breach of general warranties contained in certain commercial, intellectual property and divestiture agreements. Historically, we have not made significant payments under these agreements, nor have there been significant claims asserted against us. However, there is an increasing risk in relation to intellectual property indemnities given the current legal climate. In indemnification cases, our payment is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, for which procedures typically allow us to challenge the other party’s claims. Further, our obligations under divestiture agreements for indemnification based on breach of representations and warranties are generally limited in terms of duration, typically not more than 24 months, and for amounts not in excess of the contract value, and in some instances we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by us.
Legal Matters:    We are a defendant in various lawsuits, claims and actions, which arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, an unfavorable resolution could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations in the periods in which the matters are ultimately resolved.
In addition, pursuant to the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement and certain other agreements with Motorola Mobility, Motorola Mobility agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities, and we agreed to indemnify Motorola Mobility for certain liabilities, in each case for uncapped amounts.
Significant Accounting Policies
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, current economic and industry conditions and on

34


various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. This forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following significant accounting policies require significant judgment and estimates:
 
 
Revenue recognition
 
 
Inventory valuation
 
 
Income taxes
 
 
Valuation of the Sigma Fund and investment portfolios
 
 
Restructuring activities
 
 
Retirement-related benefits
 
 
Valuation and recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2011-12, which deferred the guidance on whether to require entities to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement where net income is presented and the statement where other comprehensive income is presented for both interim and annual financial statements, as required by ASU 2011-05. We adopted all other requirements of ASU 2011-05 effective January 1, 2012.
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The standard requires additional disclosure to enhance the comparability of U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") financial statements. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2013. Retrospective application is required. The guidance concerns disclosure only and will not have an impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Derivative Financial Instruments
At June 30, 2012, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $360 million, compared to $524 million outstanding at December 31, 2011. The decrease in outstanding contracts is primarily related to the reduction of foreign assets due to repatriation activities. Management believes that these financial instruments should not subject us to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions, except for the ineffective portion of the instruments, which are charged to Other within Other income (expense) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 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 (the “Exchange Act”), 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 Solutions, 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 Motorola Solutions’ 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 June 30, 2012, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
We are in the process of a multi-year phased upgrade and consolidation of our enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systems into a single global platform across our business. The first scheduled implementation is in the third quarter of 2012. Implementing an ERP system on a widespread basis involves significant changes in business processes and extensive organizational training. A phased approach reduces the risks associated with making these changes. We believe we are taking the necessary steps to monitor and maintain appropriate internal controls during this transition period. These steps include deploying resources to mitigate internal control risks and performing additional verifications and testing to ensure data integrity. In connection with the continued implementation of our global ERP system, we expect there will be certain redesigns of our business processes throughout the implementation, some of which may be related to internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.

Part II—Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The proceedings referenced below refer to Motorola, Inc., our former name, and we have not changed the court descriptions to refer to Motorola Solutions, Inc.
Silverman Federal Securities Class Action Case
A purported class action lawsuit on behalf of the purchasers of Motorola securities between July 19, 2006 and January 5, 2007, Silverman v. Motorola, Inc., et al., was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors of the Company on August 9, 2007, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as, in the case of the individual defendants, the control person provisions of the Securities Exchange Act. The operative amended complaint primarily alleges that the defendants knowingly made incorrect statements concerning Motorola's projected revenues for the third and fourth quarter of 2006. The complaint also challenges Motorola's accounting and disclosures for certain transactions entered into in the third quarter of 2006. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and other relief relating to the purported inflation in the price of Motorola shares during the class period. On August 25, 2009, the district court granted plaintiff's motion for class certification. On February 1, 2012, the parties in the Silverman litigation signed a settlement agreement to resolve all claims in that case for $200 million, $150 million of which is being paid by the Company's insurance carriers. The district court approved the settlement agreement on May 9, 2012. Two appeals have been filed from the judgment entered pursuant to the settlement - one challenging the court's approval of certain terms of the settlement, and the other challenging the fee award to the attorneys for the class.  Those appeals are pending and no hearing has been scheduled.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The reader should carefully consider, in connection with the other information in this report, the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A: Risk Factors” on pages 9 through 23 of the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those stated in forward-looking statements contained in this document and elsewhere.

Item 5. Other Information.
On July 25, 2012, Gregory Q. Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company adopted a stock trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under Rule 10b5-1, directors, officers and other employees who are not in possession of material non-public information may adopt a pre-arranged plan or contract for the sale of company securities under specified conditions and at specified times. Using these 10b5-1 plans, individuals can gradually diversify their investment portfolios, spread stock trades out over an extended period of time to reduce market impact and avoid concerns about transactions occurring at a time when they might possess material non-public information.
Greg Brown's 10b5-1 plan provides for the sale of up to 76,499 shares to be acquired through the exercise of stock options which are scheduled to expire in January 2013 and May 2013. Shares may be sold under Mr. Brown's plan on the open market at prevailing market prices and subject to minimum price thresholds specified in his plan.
Transactions under the 10b5-1 plan will be reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with applicable securities laws, rules and regulations. Motorola Solutions does not undertake to report Rule 10b5-1 plans that may be adopted by any officers or directors in the future, or to report any modifications or termination of any publicly announced trading plan, except to the extent required by law.
