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 March 30, 2013 and for the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, 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, statement of stockholder's equity, 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, 2012. The results of operations for the three months ended March 30, 2013 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 February 2013, the Financing Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-04, “Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date.” The standard addresses the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of certain obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, including debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings. The new guidance is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements within the update's scope that exist within our statement of financial position at the beginning of the year of adoption. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

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.
During the three months ended March 30, 2013 the Company had no activity in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for discontinued operations. The following table displays summarized activity in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations for discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Debt and Credit Facilities
During the first quarter of 2013, the Company issued an aggregate face principal amount of $600 million of 3.500% Senior Notes due 2023, of which, after debt issuance costs and debt discounts, the Company recognized net proceeds from issuance of this debt of $588 million.
As of March 30, 2013, 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 March 30, 2013. The Company did not borrow under the 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement during the three months ended March 30, 2013.

5.
Risk Management
Foreign Currency Risk
At March 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $618 million, compared to $523 million outstanding at December 31, 2012. 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 March 30, 2013, and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2012:

Interest Rate Risk
At March 30, 2013, the Company had $2.5 billion of long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, which is primarily priced at long-term, fixed interest rates.
As part of its liability management program, 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. The fair value of the Interest Agreements was in a liability position of $4 million, at both March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
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 March 30, 2013, all of the counterparties have investment grade credit ratings. The Company is not exposed to material net credit risk with any single counterparty. As of March 30, 2013, the Company was exposed to an aggregate net credit risk of approximately $2 million with all counterparties.

Income Taxes
At March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had valuation allowances of $304 million and $308 million, respectively, including $267 million and $272 million, respectively, relating to deferred tax assets for non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company believes the remaining deferred tax assets are more-likely-than-not to be realizable based on estimates of future taxable income and the implementation of tax planning strategies.
The Company evaluates its permanent reinvestment assertions with respect to foreign earnings at each reporting period
and, except for certain earnings the Company intends to reinvest indefinitely, accrues for the U.S. federal and foreign income tax applicable to the earnings. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company reassessed its unremitted earnings position and concluded that certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries' earnings are permanently invested overseas. The Company intends to utilize the offshore earnings to fund foreign investments, such as potential acquisitions and capital expenditures. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a net tax benefit of $25 million related to reversals of deferred tax liabilities for undistributed foreign earnings, primarily due to the change in permanent reinvestment assertion. Undistributed earnings that the Company intends to reinvest indefinitely, and for which no income taxes have been provided, aggregate to $1.3 billion and $1.0 billion at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $167 million and $161 million at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, of which $143 million and $138 million, respectively, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate, net of resulting changes to valuation allowances.
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.
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.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company announced an amendment to the Postretirement Health Care Benefits Plan. Starting January 1, 2013, benefits under the plan to participants over age 65 are paid to a retiree health reimbursement account instead of directly providing health insurance coverage to the participants. Covered retirees will be able to use the annual subsidy they receive through this account toward the purchase of their own health care coverage from private insurance companies and for reimbursement of eligible health care expenses. This change resulted in a remeasurement of the plan during 2012 which reduced the liability through an increase in deferred prior service cost. The majority of the deferred prior service cost will be recognized over approximately three years, which is the period in which the remaining employees eligible for the plan will qualify for benefits under the plan.
The Company made no contributions to its postretirement health care fund during the three months ended March 30, 2013.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company and certain subsidiaries have various defined contribution plans, in which all eligible employees participate. In the U.S., the 401(k) plan is a contributory plan. Matching contributions are based upon the amount of the employees' contributions. For the three months ended March 30, 2013, the Company did not make any discretionary matching contributions.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The employee stock purchase plan allows eligible participants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock through payroll deductions of eligible compensation on an after-tax basis. Effective April 1, 2012, the Company increased the maximum purchase from 10% to 20% of eligible compensation. Plan participants cannot purchase more than $25,000 of stock in any calendar year.

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 Company had no Level 3 holdings as of March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
At March 30, 2013, the Company had $376 million of investments in money market mutual funds classified as Cash and cash equivalents in its condensed consolidated balance sheet, compared to $422 million at December 31, 2012. 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 March 30, 2013 was $2.6 billion (Level 2), compared to a face value of $2.5 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.

The current portion of long-term receivables is included in Accounts receivable, net 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 $73 million at March 30, 2013, compared to $84 million at December 31, 2012.
As of March 30, 2013, $30 million of net receivables are classified as long-term. The remainder of the 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 March 30, 2013 or at December 31, 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 breaches of representations and warranties are generally limited in terms of duration, and for amounts for breaches of such representation and warranties in connection with prior divestitures not in excess of a percentage of the contract value. The total amount of indemnification under these types of provisions is approximately $14 million, of which the Company had no accruals at March 30, 2013.
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 entered into in connection with the separating of Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. ("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.

Exit Costs
At January 1, 2013, the Company had an accrual of $4 million for exit costs attributable to lease terminations. During the three months ended March 30, 2013, there were no additional charges or cash payments related to the exit of leased facilities. The remaining accrual of $4 million, which is included in Accrued liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 30, 2013, primarily represents future cash payments for lease termination obligations that are expected to be paid over a number of years.
Employee Separation Costs
At January 1, 2013, the Company had an accrual of $31 million for employee separation costs, representing the severance costs for: (i) severed employees who began receiving payments in 2012, and (ii) approximately 200 employees who began receiving payments in 2013. The 2013 additional charges of $16 million represent severance costs for approximately 200 additional employees, of which 100 were indirect employees and 100 were direct employees. The adjustment of $5 million reflects reversals of accruals no longer needed. The $15 million used reflects cash payments. The remaining accrual of $27 million, which is included in Accrued liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 30, 2013, is expected to be paid, generally, within one year to approximately 600 employees, who have either been severed or have been notified of their severance and have begun or will begin receiving payments.
