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 .

4.	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 :



	Notional Amount
Net Buy (Sell) by Currency	March 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
British Pound	$	213		$	225
Chinese Renminbi	(149		)	(99		)
Brazilian Real	(69		)	3
Norwegian Krone	(51		)	(48		)
Israeli Shekel	(49		)	(35		)

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.

The following tables summarize the fair values and location in the condensed consolidated balance sheets of all derivative financial instruments held by the Company at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 :



	Fair Values of Derivative Instruments

6.	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.


7.	Retirement Benefits

Pension Benefit Plans

The net periodic pension costs for the U.S. and Non-U.S. plans were as follows:



	March 30, 2013						March 31, 2012
Three Months Ended	U.S.			Non U.S.			U.S.			Non U.S.
Service cost	$	—		$	3		$	—		$	3

During the three months ended March 30, 2013 , payments of $24 million were made to the Company’s U.S. plans, and $13 million to the Company’s Non-U.S. plans.

Postretirement Health Care Benefits Plan

Net postretirement health care expenses (benefits) consist of the following:



	Three Months Ended
	March 30, 2013			March 31, 2012
Service cost	$	1		$	1
Interest cost	3			5
Expected return on plan assets	(2		)	(3		)
Amortization of:
Unrecognized net loss	4			3
Unrecognized prior service cost	(11		)	—
Net postretirement health care expense (benefits)	$	(5	)	$	6

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.


8.	Share-Based Compensation Plans

Compensation expense for the Company’s employee stock options, stock appreciation rights, employee stock purchase plan, restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) was as follows:



	Three Months Ended
	March 30, 2013			March 31, 2012
Share-based compensation expense included in:
Costs of sales	$	6		$	6
Selling, general and administrative expenses	28			26
Research and development expenditures	11			11
Share-based compensation expense included in Operating earnings	45			43
Tax benefit	14			13
Share-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	31		$	30
Decrease in basic earnings per share	$	(0.11	)	$	(0.10	)
Decrease in diluted earnings per share	$	(0.11	)	$	(0.09	)

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 fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities by level in the fair value hierarchy as of March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:



March 30, 2013	Level 1		Level 2		Total
Assets:
Sigma Fund securities:
U.S. government, agency and government-sponsored enterprise obligations	$	—	$	2,245	$	2,245
Foreign exchange derivative contracts	—		2		2
Available-for-sale securities:
U.S. government, agency and government-sponsored enterprise obligations	—		18		18
Corporate bonds	—		7		7
Mortgage-backed securities	—		2		2
Common stock and equivalents	3		8		11
Liabilities:
Foreign exchange derivative contracts	$	—	$	4	$	4
Interest agreement derivative contracts	—		4		4

Assets:
Sigma Fund securities:
U.S. government, agency and government-sponsored enterprise obligations	$	—	$	1,984	$	1,984

U.S. government, agency and government-sponsored enterprise obligations	—		15		15
Corporate bonds	—		11		11
Mortgage-backed securities	—		2		2
Common stock and equivalents	3		7		10
Liabilities:
Foreign exchange derivative contracts	$	—	$	3	$	3
Interest agreement derivative contracts	—		4		4

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.


10.	Long-term Customer Financing and Sales of Receivables

Long-term Customer Financing

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

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 .

At March 30, 2013 , the Company had retained servicing obligations for $379 million of long-term receivables, compared to $375 million of long-term receivables at December 31, 2012 . Servicing obligations are limited to collection activities related to the non-recourse sales of accounts receivables and long-term receivables.

Credit Quality of Customer Financing Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses

An aging analysis of financing receivables at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is as follows:

11.	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.

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.

Results of Operations— Three months ended March 30, 2013 compared to three months ended March 31, 2012

Net Sales

Net sales were $1,973 million in the first quarter of 2013 , up $ 17 million , or 1% compared to net sales of $1,956 million in the first quarter of 2012 . The increase in net sales reflects a $45 million , or 3% , increase in net sales in the Government segment driven by growth in all regions with the exception of APME, partially offset by a $28 million , or 4% , decrease in net sales in the Enterprise segment driven by declines in North America and Latin America.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was $955 million , or 48.4% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2013 , compared to $973 million , or 49.7% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2012 . The decrease in gross margin percentage is driven primarily from the Enterprise segment where: (i) we had lower sales in the iDEN product group, which typically has higher margins, (ii) lower gross margin percentages in our mobile computing product group, driven by the acquisition of Psion, which has a slightly different margin profile, and (iii) an unfavorable product and service mix. Gross margin percentage in the Government segment was flat in the first quarter of 2013, as compared to the first quarter of 2012.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased 3% to $460 million , or 23.3% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2013 , compared to $472 million , or 24.1% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2012 . The decrease is primarily driven by a decrease in pension expense, partially offset by SG&A expenses relating to the Psion acquisition that closed in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Research and Development Expenditures

Research and development (“R&D”) expenditures increased 3% to $262 million , or 13.3% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2013 , compared to $254 million , or 13.0% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2012 . The increase in R&D expenditures is primarily due to the Psion acquisition that closed in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Other Charges

We recorded net charges of $17 million in Other charges in the first quarter of 2013 , compared to net charges of $15 million in the first quarter of 2012 . The net charges in the first quarter of 2013 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 first quarter of 2012 included: (i) $9 million of net reorganization of business charges, and (ii) $6 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangibles. The net reorganization of business charges are discussed in further detail in the “Reorganization of Businesses” section.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense was $25 million in the first quarter of 2013 , compared to net interest expense of $14 million in the first quarter of 2012 . Net interest expense in the first quarter of 2013 included interest expense of $30 million , partially offset by interest income of $5 million . Net interest expense in the first quarter of 2012 includes interest expense of $25 million , partially offset by interest income of $11 million . The increase in net interest expense in the first quarter of 2013 is primarily attributable to (i) higher interest expense driven by an increase of average debt outstanding, and (ii) a decrease in interest income due to lower average cash and cash equivalents during the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012 .

Net Gains on Sales of Investments and Businesses

Net gains on sales of investments and businesses were $7 million in the first quarter of 2013 , compared to $17 million in the first quarter of 2012 . In both the first quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2012 , the net gains were primarily related to sales of our equity investments.

Other

Net Other income was $7 million in the first quarter of 2013 , compared to net Other income of $9 million in the first quarter of 2012 . The net Other income in the first quarter of 2013 was primarily comprised of: (i) $4 million of foreign currency gains, and (ii) $3 million of other net investment earnings. The net Other income in the first quarter of 2012 was primarily comprised of $10 million of foreign currency gains, partially offset by a $2 million investment impairment.

Effective Tax Rate

We recorded $13 million of net tax expense in the first quarter of 2013 , resulting in an effective tax rate of 6% , compared to $85 million of net tax expense in the first quarter of 2012 , resulting in an effective tax rate of 35%. Our effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2013 is lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to discrete items recorded during the quarter, specifically: (i) a $25 million reduction in our deferred tax liability for undistributed foreign earnings primarily due to our

assertion that certain earnings are now permanently invested overseas, (ii) a $12 million benefit for R&D tax credits, and (iii) a reduction in deferred tax asset valuation allowance related to a non-U.S. subsidiary.

During 2012, we began to reorganize certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries under a holding company structure in order to facilitate the efficient movement of non-U.S. cash and provide a platform to fund foreign investments, such as potential acquisitions and capital expenditures. When the reorganization is completed, the tax impact of future cash repatriations from these subsidiaries will be more favorable than under our existing structure and will favorably impact our effective tax rate for the remainder of 2013.

Earnings from Continuing Operations

After taxes, we had net earnings from continuing operations of $192 million , or $0.68 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2013 , compared to net earnings from continuing operations of $159 million , or $0.50 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2012 .

The increase in net earnings from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2013, as compared to the first quarter of 2012, was primarily driven by: (i) a lower effective tax rate, and (ii) decreased pension expense, partially offset by: (i) an $18 million decrease in gross margin primarily due to sales declines and unfavorable product and service mix in our Enterprise segment, and (ii) a $23 million decrease in total other income due to higher net interest expense and lower gains on sales of investments and businesses. The increase in earnings per diluted share was driven by higher net earnings and the reduction in shares outstanding as a result of our share repurchase program.

Earnings from Discontinued Operations

In the first quarter of 2013 , we had no after-tax earnings from discontinued operations, compared to a $2 million loss from discontinued operations, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2012 . The loss in the first quarter of 2012 was primarily driven by a loss related to the exit of the amateur, marine and airband business.

Segment Information

The following commentary should be read in conjunction with the financial results of each reporting segment for the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 as detailed in Note 12, “Segment Information,” of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Government Segment

For the first quarter of 2013 , the segment’s net sales represented 68% of our consolidated net sales, compared to 67% of our consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2012 .



	Three Months Ended
	March 30, 2013		March 31, 2012		% Change
Segment net sales	$	1,346	$	1,301	3	%
Operating earnings	180		150		20	%

Three months ended March 30, 2013 compared to three months ended March 31, 2012

The segment’s net sales increased 3% to $1,346 million in the first quarter of 2013 , as compared to $1,301 million during the first quarter of 2012 . The increase in net sales in the Government segment reflects an increase in sales of: (i) mission-critical radio products, and (ii) integration services, partially offset by a decrease in professional and commercial radio products. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in North America, Latin America and EA, and declined in APME, 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 63% of the segment’s sales in the first quarter of 2013 and 62% of the segment’s sales in the first quarter of 2012 .

The segment had operating earnings of $180 million in the first quarter of 2013 , compared to operating earnings of $150 million in the first quarter of 2012 . As a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the first quarter of 2012 , gross margin was flat, and 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 3% increase in net sales, and (ii) a decrease in SG&A expenses, driven by a decrease in pension expense.

Enterprise Segment

For the first quarter of 2013 , the segment’s net sales represented 32% of our consolidated net sales, compared to 33% of our consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2012 .



	Three Months Ended
	March 30, 2013		March 31, 2012		% Change
Segment net sales	$	627	$	655	(4	)%
Operating earnings	36		82		(56	)%

Three months ended March 30, 2013 compared to three months ended March 31, 2012

In the first quarter of 2013 , the segment’s net sales were $627 million , a 4% decrease compared to net sales of $655 million in the first quarter of 2012 . The 4% decrease in net sales in the Enterprise segment reflects a decrease in: (i) iDEN, (ii) WLAN, and (iii) data capture equipment sales, partially offset by an increase in mobile computing due to the acquisition of Psion in the fourth quarter of 2012. The decrease in net sales for the segment reflects a decline in North America and Latin America and an increase in EA and APME, compared to the year-ago quarter. The decline in North America was driven by lower sales in the mobile computing, data capture and WLAN product groups, while the decline in Latin America was driven by a decline in iDEN. The increases in EA and APME were primarily driven by mobile computing sales, with EA sales increasing due to Psion. Net sales in North America continued to comprise a significant portion of the segment’s business, accounting for approximately 46% of the segment’s net sales in both the first quarter of 2013 and 2012 .

The segment had operating earnings of $36 million in the first quarter of 2013 , compared to operating earnings of $82 million in the first quarter of 2012 . As a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the first quarter of 2012 , gross margin decreased, and SG&A expenses and R&D expenditures increased. The decrease in operating earnings was due to a decline in gross margin primarily attributable to the decline in iDEN sales, which typically has higher margins, and unfavorable product and service mixes. SG&A expenses decreased and R&D expenditures increased in the first quarter of 2013 , compared to the first quarter of 2012 . The decrease in SG&A expenses was driven by a decrease in pension expenses and the increase in R&D expenditures was primarily due to the Psion acquisition that closed in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Reorganization of Businesses

During the first quarter of 2013 , we implemented various productivity improvement plans aimed at achieving long term, sustainable profitability by driving efficiencies and reducing operating costs. During the first quarter of 2013 , we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $11 million related to the separation of approximately 200 employees, of which 100 were indirect employees and 100 were direct employees. The $11 million of charges were recorded within Other charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the aggregate $11 million are charges of $16 million for employee separation costs, partially offset by $5 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 , we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $9 million , including: (i) $12 million relating to the separation of 200 indirect employees, and (ii) $1 million for building impairment charges, partially offset by $4 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed. These charges were classified as Other charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We expect to realize cost-saving benefits of approximately $9 million during the remaining nine months of 2013 from the plans that were initiated during the first three months of 2013 , primarily in operating expenses. Beyond 2013 , we expect the reorganization plans initiated during the first three months of 2013 to provide annualized cost savings of approximately $12 million, consisting of: (i) $9 million of savings in SG&A expenses, (ii) $1 million of savings in R&D expenditures, and (iii) $2 million of savings in Cost of sales.

The following table displays the net charges incurred by business segment:



	Three Months Ended
	March 30, 2013		March 31, 2012
Government	$	7	$	7
Enterprise	4		2
	$	11	$	9

Cash payments for employee severance and exit costs in connection with the reorganization of business plans were $15 million in the first three months of 2013 , and the first three months of 2012 . Of the $31 million of reorganization of businesses accruals at March 30, 2013 , $27 million relate to employee separation costs and are expected to be paid in 2013 and 2014 . The remaining $4 million in accruals relate to lease termination obligations that are expected to be paid over a number of years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We increased the aggregate of our (i) cash and cash equivalent balances, and (ii) Sigma Fund and short-term investments by $115 million from $3.6 billion as of December 31, 2012 to $3.7 billion as of March 30, 2013 , primarily due to $593 million of net proceeds from the issuance of debt, partially offset by (i) $429 million of capital returned to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends paid during the first quarter of 2013 , and (ii) $31 million used for operating activities.

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 $1.5 billion at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 . At March 30, 2013 , approximately $400 million of this amount was held in the U.S. and $1.1 billion was held by the Company or its subsidiaries in other countries (including $278 million in China). At March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , restricted cash was $62 million and $63 million respectively (including $2 million and $3 million , respectively, held outside the U.S.).

Repatriation of foreign funds continues to be important 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 three months of 2013, we repatriated $31 million in funds to the U.S. from international jurisdictions. We have approximately $1.1 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

Net cash used for operating activities from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2013 was $31 million , as compared to $69 million of net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2012 . Operating cash flows in the first quarter of 2013, as compared to the first quarter of 2012, were negatively impacted by the timing of our long term contract milestone billings. During the three months ended March 30, 2013 , cash f lows were adversely impacted by approximately $40 million as we were required to post a foreign tax deposit, which is expected to be refunded during 2013.

We contributed $24 million to our U.S. pension plans during the first quarter of 2013 , compared to $60 million contributed in the first quarter of 2012 . We expect to make cash contributions of approximately $250 million to our U.S. pension plans in 2013. We contributed $13 million to our non-U.S. pension plans during the first quarter of 2013 , compared to $15 million contributed in the first quarter of 2012 .

Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities was $144 million in the first three months of 2013 , compared to net cash provided of $1.2 billion in the first three months of 2012 . This $1.3 billion decrease was primarily due to the $1.2 billion of proceeds from sales of Sigma Fund investments, primarily used for share repurchases, in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the $113 million of purchases of Sigma Fund investments in the first quarter of 2013.

Sigma Fund: We and our wholly-owned subsidiaries invest most of our U.S. dollar-denominated cash in a fund, which we refer to as the Sigma Fund, that allows us to efficiently manage our cash around the world. The aggregate fair value of Sigma Fund investments was $2.2 billion at March 30, 2013 (including $1.0 billion held outside the U.S.), compared to $2.1 billion at December 31, 2012 (including $1.0 billion held outside the U.S.).

At March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , 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 $92 million in net proceeds from acquisitions and investments in the first three 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 slightly decreased in the first three months of 2013 to $46 million , compared to $49 million in the first three months of 2012 , primarily due to a slight decrease in information technology investments.

Sales of Investments and Businesses : We had $19 million of proceeds related to the sales of investments and businesses in the first three months of 2013 , compared to $54 million used for investments and businesses in the first three months of 2012 . The $54 million used for investments and businesses in the first three months of 2012 primarily relates to 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 three months of 2013 were primarily comprised of proceeds from sales of certain of our equity investments.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $212 million in the first three months of 2013 , compared to net cash used of $1.4 billion in the first three months of 2012 . Cash provided by financing activities in the first three months of 2013 was primarily comprised of: (i) $593 million of net proceeds from the issuance of debt, and (ii) $40 million of net proceeds from from the issuance of common stock in connection with our employee stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by (i) $357 million used for purchases of our common stock under our share repurchase program, and (ii) $72 million of cash used for the payment of dividends. Net cash used for financing activities in the first three months of 2012 was primarily comprised of: (i) $1.4 billion used for purchases of our common stock under our share repurchase program, and (ii) $70 million of cash used for the payment of dividends, partially offset by: (i) $30 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) $11 million of distributions to discontinued operations.

Current Portion of Long-Term Debt: Our current portion of long-term debt was $4 million at both March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 .

Long-Term Portion of Long-Term Debt: We had outstanding long-term debt of $2.5 billion at March 30, 2013 , and $1.9 billion at December 31, 2012 . In the first quarter of 2013, we issued an aggregate face principal amount of $600 million of 3.500% Senior Notes due March 1, 2023, recognizing net proceeds of $588 million.

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: We paid an aggregate of $357 million during the first quarter of 2013, including transaction costs, to repurchase 5.9 million shares at an average price of $60.27 per share. As of March 30, 2013 , we have used approximately $3.9 billion of the share repurchase authority to purchase 82.1 million shares at an average price of $47.56 per share, including transaction costs, leaving approximately $1.1 billion of authority available for repurchases. All repurchased shares have been retired.

Payment of Dividends: During the three months ended March 30, 2013 , we paid $72 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock. Subsequent to March 30, 2013 , we paid $71 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock.

Credit Facilities

As of March 30, 2013 , 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 March 30, 2013 . We did not borrow under the 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement during the three months ended March 30, 2013 .

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 $73 million at March 30, 2013 , compared to $84 million at December 31, 2012 .

Outstanding Long-Term Receivables: We had net non-current long-term receivables of $30 million at March 30, 2013 , compared to net long-term receivables of $60 million at December 31, 2012 . These long-term receivables are generally interest bearing, with interest rates generally ranging from 2% to 13%.

Sales of Receivables

We had no committed facilities for the sale of long-term receivables or short-term receivables at March 30, 2013 or at December 31, 2012 .

The following table summarizes the proceeds received from non-recourse sales of accounts receivable and long-term receivables for the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 :



	Three Months Ended
	March 30, 2013		March 31, 2012
Cumulative quarterly proceeds received from one-time sales:
Accounts receivable sales proceeds	$	1	$	5
Long-term receivables sales proceeds	28		67
Total proceeds from one-time sales of accounts receivable	$	29	$	72

At March 30, 2013 , we had retained servicing obligations for $379 million of sold long-term receivables, compared to $375 million of sold long-term receivables at December 31, 2012 . 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.

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 ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, 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 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 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 us beginning January 1, 2014. We anticipate that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Derivative Financial Instruments

At March 30, 2013 , we 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 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.

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 :



	Notional Amount
Net Buy (Sell) by Currency	March 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
British Pound	$	213		$	225
Chinese Renminbi	(149		)	(99		)
Brazilian Real	(69		)	3
Norwegian Krone	(51		)	(48		)
Israeli Shekel	(49		)	(35		)

Forward-Looking Statements

Except for historical matters, the matters discussed in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable federal securities law. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and generally include words such as “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “estimates” and similar expressions. We can give no assurance that any future results or events discussed in these statements will be achieved. Any forward-looking statements represent our views only as of today and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date. Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the statements contained in this Form 10-Q. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements included in: (1) “Management's Discussion and Analysis,” about: (a) our business strategies and expected results, (b) the impact of the reorganization of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries on our expected effective tax rate, (c) future payments, charges, use of accruals and expected cost-saving benefits associated with our reorganization of business programs and employee separation costs, (d) our ability and cost to repatriate funds, (e) future cash contributions to pension plans or retiree health benefit plans, (f) our ability and cost to access the capital markets at our current ratings, (g) our plans with respect to the level of outstanding debt, (h) the adequacy of our cash balances, short-term investments, and Sigma Fund investments to meet current operating requirements, (i) expected commitments under long-term financing, (j) potential contractual damages claims, (k) the outcome and effect of ongoing and future legal proceedings, and (l) the impact of recent accounting pronouncements, (2) “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” about the impact of foreign currency exchange risks, (3) “Legal Proceedings,” about the ultimate disposition of pending legal matters, and (4) "Controls and Procedures," about the implementation of our enterprise resource planning systems. Motorola Solutions undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement or risk factor, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Some of the risk factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in Part I, “Item 1A: Risk Factors” on pages 8 through 19 of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in our other SEC filings available for free on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and on Motorola Solutions' website at www.motorolasolutions.com. We wish to caution the reader that the risk factors discussed in each of these documents and those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those stated in the forward-looking statements.

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 fin ancial 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 March 30, 2013 , 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 phase was successfully implemented during the third quarter of 2012 with no significant changes to our internal controls over financial reporting.

Continuing to implement the remaining phased approaches of our 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 these transition periods. Such 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 r eferenced 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 Uni ted 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. The court has heard the appeals but has not issued a decision.

The Company is a defendant in other various suits, claims and investigations that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of the Company's pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, an unfavorable resolution could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations in the periods in which the matters are ultimately resolved, or in the periods in which more information obtained changes management's opinion of the ultimate disposition.

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 8 through 19 of the Company’s 2012 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.
