    Near the end of the third quarter of 2001, Motorola completed the sale of its (i) Integrated Information Systems Group (IISG), the company's defense and government electronics business, and (ii) Multiservice Networks Division (MND). These 2 businesses accounted for a combined $809 million of sales in 2000.

    Motorola is revising the pro-forma financial reporting of its results from ongoing operations, including segment results, to remove the impact of the financial results of IISG and MND. IISG's results were included in the results of Motorola's Commercial, Government and Industrial Systems Segment. MND's results were included in the results of the Other Products Segment.

    The sole purpose of this Form 8-K is to present the historical pro-forma results of Motorola for the four quarters and full year of 2000 and the first three quarters of 2001 excluding the financial results of IISG and MND. Exhibit 99.1, which is attached hereto, contains the revised historical pro-forma results.

    The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibits, is furnished pursuant to Item 9 and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.
