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 29, 2013 and for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 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 stockholders' 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 and six months ended June 29, 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 (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 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. U.S. GAAP does not currently include specific guidance on accounting for such obligations with joint and several liability which has resulted in diversity in practice. The ASU requires an entity to measure these obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The ASU also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The ASU is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements within the updates scope that exist within the Company's 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 or 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. The results of certain purchase price adjustments for previous divestitures that were recorded during the periods presented have also been reported as discontinued operations.

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 .
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”), which after debt issuance and debt discounts, the Company recognized net proceeds of $740 million from the issuance of this debt.  Also in May 2012, the Company called for the redemption of the $400 million aggregate principle 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 29, 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 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 29, 2013 . The Company did not borrow under the 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement during the three and six months ended June 29, 2013 .

Risk Management
Foreign Currency Risk
At June 29, 2013 , the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $667 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.

Interest Rate Risk
At June 29, 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 $3 million and $4 million , at June 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively.
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 29, 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 June 29, 2013 , the Company was exposed to an aggregate net credit risk of approximately $2 million with all counterparties.

Income Taxes
At June 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , the Company had valuation allowances of $293 million and $308 million , respectively, including $266 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 accrued, aggregate to $1.3 billion and $1.0 billion at June 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively.
During 2012, the Company began to reorganize certain of its 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. In the second quarter of 2013, the recently implemented foreign holding company structure provided the ability to realize excess foreign tax credits associated with undistributed foreign earnings, which favorably impacted the effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2013 by $128 million of tax benefit and will continue to favorably impact the annual effective tax rate for the remainder of 2013.
The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $147 million and $161 million at June 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively, of which $123 million and $138 million , respectively, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate, net of resulting changes to valuation allowances. During the six months ended June 29, 2013, the Company reduced its unrecognized tax benefits for settlements with tax authorities in the amount of $17 million , all of which resulted in a reduction to 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 $75 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 consolidated financial position, liquidity or 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 six months ended June 29, 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 and six months ended June 29, 2013 and the June 30, 2012 , the Company did not make any discretionary matching contributions.
Deferred Compensation Plan
On June 5, 2013, the Company reinstated a deferred compensation plan (“the Plan”) effective June 1, 2013.  Under the Plan, participating executives may elect to defer base salary and cash incentive compensation in excess of 401(k) plan limitations.  Participants under the Plan may choose to invest their deferred amounts in the same investment alternatives available under the Company's 401(k) plan, other than the Company stock fund.  The Plan also allows for Company matching contributions (i) with respect to the first 4% of compensation deferred under the Plan, subject to a maximum of $50,000 for board officers, (ii) to restore lost matching amounts that would have been made under the 401(k) plan if participants had not participated in the Plan, and (iii) in such discretionary amounts, as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

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.

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 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 June 29, 2013 or December 31, 2012 .
At June 29, 2013 , the Company had $379 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 had 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 29, 2013 was $2.5 billion (Level 2), consistent with the instruments' 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 from 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 $91 million at June 29, 2013 , compared to $84 million 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.
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.
Also, 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 remaining accrual of $3 million , which is included in Accrued liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 29, 2013 , primarily represents future cash payments for lease termination obligations that are expected to be paid over a number of years.

The 2013 additional charges of $46 million represent severance costs for approximately 700 additional employees, of which 300 were indirect employees and 400 were direct employees. The adjustment of $7 million reflects reversals of accruals no longer needed. The $31 million used reflects cash payments. The remaining accrual of $39 million , which is included in Accrued liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 29, 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.

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 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012 , 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, 2012 .
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, with sales in more than 100 countries, 22,000 employees worldwide, an industry leadership position, an unmatched portfolio of products and services and a strong patent portfolio.
We report financial results for two 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 2013 , the segment’s net sales were $1.5 billion , representing 69% 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 2013 , the segment’s net sales were $656 million , representing 31% of our consolidated net sales.
Change in Presentation
As of January 1, 2013, we restructured our regions operationally to improve our delivery of products and services, by aligning the Middle East go-to-market team with Asia Pacific. Accordingly, we now report net sales for the following four geographic regions: North America; Latin America; Europe and Africa ("EA"); and Asia Pacific and Middle East ("APME"). We have updated all periods presented to reflect this change in presentation.

Second Quarter Summary
Net sales decreased by $41 million , or 2% , to $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to net sales of $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2012 .
We generated operating earnings of $266 million , or 12.6% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to $278 million , or 12.9% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2012 .
We had earnings from continuing operations, net of tax, of $258 million , or $0.94 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to earnings from continuing operations, net of tax, of $177 million , or $0.60 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2012 .
We generated net cash from operating activities of $51 million during the first half of 2013 , compared to $322 million in the first half of 2012 .
We returned $1.1 billion in capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends during the first half of 2013 .
Highlights for each of our segments are as follows:
Government: Net sales were $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2013 , a decrease of $8 million , or 1% , compared to net sales of $1.5 billion during the second quarter of 2012 . On a geographic basis, net sales decreased in Latin America and APME, and increased in North America and EA compared to the year-ago quarter.
Enterprise: Net sales were $656 million in the second quarter of 2013 , a decrease of $33 million , or 5% , compared to net sales of $689 million in the second quarter of 2012 . On a geographic basis, net sales declined in North America and Latin America, and increased in EA and APME compared to the year-ago quarter.

Results of Operations— Three months ended June 29, 2013 compared to three months ended June 30, 2012
Net Sales
Net sales were $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2013 , down $41 million , or 2% , compared to net sales of $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2012 . The decrease in net sales reflects a  $33 million , or 5% , decrease in net sales in the Enterprise segment driven by declines in North America and Latin America, and an $8 million , or 1% , decrease in net sales in the Government segment driven by declines in Latin America and APME.
Gross Margin
Gross margin was $1.0 billion , or 48.8% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to $1.1 billion , or 49.3% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2012 . The decrease in gross margin percentage is driven primarily from the Enterprise segment related to: (i) 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 lower margin profile, and (iii) an unfavorable product and service mix.  Gross margin percentage in the Government segment was slightly higher in the second quarter of 2013 , as compared to the second quarter of 2012 , driven by a favorable product mix.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased 5% to $470 million , or 22.3% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to $496 million , or 23.1% of net sales, in the second 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 decreased slightly to $268 million , or 12.7% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2013 , from $269 million , or 12.5% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2012 . The slight decrease in R&D expenditures is primarily due to reduced iDEN expenses within the Enterprise segment, partially offset by increased R&D related to the Psion acquisition.
Other Charges
We recorded net charges of $25 million in Other charges in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to net charges of $17 million in the second quarter of 2012 . The net charges in the second quarter of 2013 included: (i)  $19 million of net reorganization of business charges and (ii) $6 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangibles. 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 net reorganization of business charges are discussed in further detail in the “Reorganization of Businesses” section.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $32 million in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to net interest expense of $16 million in the second quarter of 2012 . Net interest expense in the second quarter of 2013 included interest expense of $38 million , partially offset by interest income of $6 million . Net interest expense in the second quarter of 2012 included interest expense of $25 million , partially offset by interest income of $9 million . The increase in net interest expense in the second 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 second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 .
Net Gains on Sales of Investments and Businesses
We had no sales of investments and businesses in the second quarter of 2013 , as compared to $3 million in the second quarter of 2012 . In the second quarter of 2012 , the net gains were primarily related to sales of certain equity investments.
Other
Net Other expense was $10 million in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to net Other expense of $25 million in the second quarter of 2012 . The net Other expense in the second quarter of 2013 was primarily comprised of: (i) an $8 million loss on foreign currency and (ii) an investment impairment of $4 million . The net Other expense in the second quarter of 2012 was primarily comprised of: (i) a $21 million loss on foreign currency and (ii) a $6 million loss from the extinguishment of debt.
Effective Tax Rate
We recorded $38 million of net tax benefits in the second quarter of 2013 , resulting in a negative effective tax rate, compared to $63 million of net tax expense in the second quarter of 2012 , resulting in an effective tax rate of 26% . Our effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2013 was favorably impacted by $118 million of net tax benefits largely associated with excess foreign tax credits on undistributed foreign earnings.

26


The tax benefit for excess foreign tax credits relates to undistributed foreign earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries reorganized under our recently implemented holding company structure, which allowed these tax credits to be realized, and represents the year-to-date amount of the full year tax benefit.  The tax benefit related to the excess foreign tax credits is recognized in our annual effective tax rate and will favorably impact our effective tax rate for the remainder of 2013.
Our effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2012 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits for facts that then indicated the extent to which certain tax positions were more-likely-than-not of being sustained.
Earnings from Continuing Operations
After taxes, we had net earnings from continuing operations of $258 million , or $0.94 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to net earnings from continuing operations of $177 million , or $0.60 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012 .
The increase in net earnings from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2013 , as compared to the second quarter of 2012 , was primarily driven by: (i) a lower effective tax rate and (ii) decreased pension expense, partially offset by: (i) a $31 million decrease in gross margin primarily due to sales declines, (ii) an unfavorable product and service mix in our Enterprise segment, and (iii) a $16 million increase in net interest expense. 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 second quarter of 2013 , we had no after-tax earnings from discontinued operations, compared to $5 million earnings from discontinued operations, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012 . The earnings from discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2012 were primarily driven by a purchase price adjustment of a previously disposed business.
Results of Operations— Six months ended June 29, 2013 compared to six months ended June 30, 2012
Net Sales
Net sales were $4.1 billion in the first half of 2013 , down $ 24 million , or 1% , compared to net sales of $4.1 billion in the first half of 2012 . The decrease in net sales reflects a $61 million , or 5% , decrease in net sales in the Enterprise segment driven by declines in North America and Latin America, partially offset by a $37 million , or 1% , increase in net sales in the Government segment driven by growth in all regions with the exception of APME.
Gross Margin
Gross margin was $2.0 billion , or 48.6% of net sales, in the first half of 2013 , compared to $2.0 billion , or 49.5% of net sales, in the first half of 2012 . The decrease in gross margin percentage is driven primarily from the Enterprise segment related to: (i) lower sales in the iDEN product group, which typically have higher margins, (ii) lower gross margin percentages in our mobile computing product group, driven by the acquisition of Psion, which has a slightly lower margin profile, and (iii) an unfavorable product and service mix.  Gross margin percentage in the Government segment was higher in the first half of 2013 , as compared to the first half of 2012 , driven by a favorable product mix. 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased 4% to $930 million , or 22.8% of net sales, in the first half of 2013 , compared to $968 million , or 23.6% of net sales, in the first half of 2012 . The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in pension expense, partially offset by SG&A expenses relating to the Psion acquisition.
Research and Development Expenditures
Research and development (“R&D”) expenditures increased 1% to $530 million , or 13.0% of net sales, in the first half of 2013 , compared to $523 million , or 12.7% of net sales, in the first half of 2012 . The increase in R&D expenditures is primarily due to the Psion acquisition.
Other Charges
We recorded net charges of $42 million in Other charges in the first half of 2013 , compared to net charges of $32 million in the first half of 2012 . The net charges in the first half of 2013 included: (i)  $30 million of net reorganization of business charges and (ii) $12 million of charges relating to the amortization of intangibles. 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 net reorganization of business charges are discussed in further detail in the “Reorganization of Businesses” section.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $57 million in the first half of 2013 , compared to net interest expense of $30 million in the first half of 2012 . Net interest expense in the first half of 2013 included interest expense of $68 million , partially offset by interest

27


income of $11 million . Net interest expense in the first half of 2012 included interest expense of $50 million , partially offset by interest income of $20 million . The increase in net interest expense in the first half 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 half of 2013 compared to the first half of 2012 .
Net Gains on Sales of Investments and Businesses
Net gains on sales of investments and businesses were $7 million in the first half of 2013 , compared to $20 million in the first half of 2012 . In both the first halves of 2013 and 2012 , the net gains were primarily related to sales of our equity investments.
Other
Net Other expense was $3 million in the first half of 2013 , compared to net Other expense of $16 million in the first half of 2012 . The net Other expense in the first half of 2013 was primarily comprised of: (i) a $4 million loss on foreign currency and (ii) an investment impairment of $4 million , offset by $5 million of equity method investment earnings. The net Other expense in the first half of 2012 was primarily comprised of an $11 million loss on foreign currency and a $6 million loss from the extinguishment of debt.
Effective Tax Rate
We recorded $25 million of net tax benefits in the first half of 2013 , resulting in a negative effective tax rate, compared to $148 million of net tax expense in the first half of 2012 , resulting in an effective tax rate of 31%. Our effective tax rate in the first half of 2013 was impacted by: (i) $118 million of net tax benefits largely associated with excess foreign tax credits on undistributed foreign earnings, (ii) a $25 million reduction in our deferred tax liability for undistributed foreign earnings primarily due to our assertion that certain earnings are now permanently reinvested, and (iii) a $12 million tax benefit for R&D tax credits.
The tax benefit for excess foreign tax credits relates to undistributed foreign earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries reorganized under our recently implemented holding company structure, which allowed these tax credits to be realized, and represents the year-to-date amount of the full year tax benefit.  The tax benefit related to the excess foreign tax credits is recognized in our annual effective tax rate and will favorably impact our effective tax rate for the remainder of 2013.
Our effective tax rate in the first half of 2012 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits for facts that then indicated the extent to which certain tax positions were more-likely-than-not of being sustained.
Earnings from Continuing Operations
After taxes, we had net earnings from continuing operations of $450 million , or $1.62 per diluted share, in the first half of 2013 , compared to net earnings from continuing operations of $336 million , or $1.09 per diluted share, in the first half of 2012 .
The increase in net earnings from continuing operations in the first half of 2013 , as compared to the first half of 2012 , was primarily driven by: (i) a lower effective tax rate and (ii) decreased pension expense, partially offset by: (i) a $49 million decrease in gross margin primarily due to sales declines and an unfavorable product and service mix in our Enterprise segment and (ii) a $27 million increase in net interest expense. 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 half of 2013 , we had no after-tax earnings from discontinued operations, compared to $3 million of earnings from discontinued operations, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the first half of 2012 . The earnings from discontinued operations in the first half of 2012 were primarily driven by a purchase price adjustment of a previously disposed business, offset by a loss related to the exit of the amateur, marine and airband business.

Three months ended June 29, 2013 compared to three months ended June 30, 2012
The segment’s net sales decreased $8 million , or 1% , to $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2013 , as compared to $1.5 billion during the second quarter of 2012 . The decrease in net sales in the Government segment reflects a decrease in data products, partially offset by an increase in sales of: (i) mission-critical radio products and (ii) integration services. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in North America and EA, and declined in Latin America and 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 66% of the segment’s sales in the second quarter of 2013 and 64% of the segment’s net sales in the second quarter of 2012 .
The segment had operating earnings of $215 million in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to $197 million in the second quarter of 2012 . As a percentage of net sales in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012 , gross margin was 1% higher, SG&A expenditures decreased, and R&D expenditures were flat. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to: (i) an increase in gross margin and (ii) a decrease in SG&A expenses, driven by a decrease in pension expense.
Six months ended June 29, 2013 compared to six months ended June 30, 2012
The segment’s net sales increased $37 million , or 1% , to $2.8 billion in the first half of 2013 , as compared to $2.8 billion in the first half 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: (i) professional and commercial radio and (ii) data products. On a geographic basis, net sales increased in North America, Latin America and EA, and declined in APME, compared to the first half of 2012 . Net sales in North America continued to comprise a significant portion of the segment’s business, accounting for approximately 65% of the segment’s net sales in the first half of 2013 and 63% of the segment’s net sales in the first half of 2012 .
The segment had operating earnings of $395 million in the first half of 2013 , compared to $347 million in the first half of 2012 . As a percentage of net sales in the first half of 2013 as compared to the first half of 2012 , gross margin was 2% higher, SG&A expenditures decreased, and R&D expenditures increased. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to: (i) an increase in gross margin and (ii) a decrease in SG&A expenses, driven by a decrease in pension expense.
Enterprise Segment
For the second quarter of 2013 , the segment’s net sales represented 31% of our consolidated net sales, compared to 32% of our consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2012 . For the first half of 2013 , the segment’s net sales represented 31% of our consolidated net sales, compared to 33% of our consolidated net sales for the first half of 2012 .

Three months ended June 29, 2013 compared to three months ended June 30, 2012
The segment’s net sales decreased $33 million , or 5% , to $656 million in the second quarter of 2013 , as compared to $689 million in the second quarter of 2012 . The 5% decrease in net sales in the Enterprise segment reflects a decrease in: (i) iDEN and (ii) data capture equipment sales. The decrease in net sales for the segment reflects a decline in North America and Latin America, offset by an increase in EA and APME, compared to the year-ago quarter. The decline in North America was driven by lower sales in the data capture and mobile computing product groups as a result of fewer large deals as customers have reduced information technology hardware spend, while the decline in Latin America was driven by a decline in iDEN. The

29


increases in EA and APME were primarily driven by mobile computing sales, with EA net sales increasing due to the Psion acquisition. Net sales in North America continued to comprise a significant portion of the segment’s business, accounting for approximately 45% of the segment’s net sales in the second quarter of 2013 and 46% of the segment’s net sales in the second quarter of 2012 .
The segment had operating earnings of $51 million in the second quarter of 2013 , compared to $81 million in the second quarter of 2012 . As a percentage of net sales in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012 , gross margin was 3% lower, SG&A expenditures decreased, and R&D expenditures were flat. The decrease in operating earnings was due to a decline in gross margin primarily attributable to the decline in iDEN sales, which typically have higher margins, and an unfavorable product and service mix. The decrease in SG&A expenses was driven by a decrease in pension expense.
Six months ended June 29, 2013 compared to six months ended June 30, 2012
The segment’s net sales decreased $61 million , or 5% , to $1.3 billion in the first half of 2013 , as compared to net sales of $1.3 billion in the first half of 2012 . The 5% decrease in net sales in the Enterprise segment reflects a decrease in sales of: (i) iDEN, (ii) data capture, and (iii) WLAN equipment as a result of fewer large deals as customers have reduced information technology hardware spend, partially offset by an increase in mobile computing sales due to the Psion acquisition. The decrease in net sales for the segment reflects a decline in North America and Latin America, offset by an increase in EA and APME, compared to the first half of 2012 . The decline in North America was driven by lower sales in the data capture, mobile computing, 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 net sales increasing due to the Psion acquisition. Net sales in North America continued to comprise a significant portion of the segment’s business, accounting for approximately 45% of the segment’s net sales in the first half of 2013 and 48% of the segment’s net sales in the first half of 2012 .
The segment had operating earnings of $87 million in the first half of 2013 , compared to operating earnings of $163 million in the first half of 2012 . As a percentage of net sales in the first half of 2013 as compared to the first half of 2012 , gross margin was 4% lower, SG&A expenditures decreased, and R&D expenditures increased slightly. The decrease in operating earnings was due to: (i) a decline in gross margin primarily attributable to the decline in iDEN sales, which typically have higher margins and (ii) an unfavorable product and service mix. The decrease in SG&A expenses was driven by a decrease in pension expense, and the increase in R&D expenditures was primarily due to the Psion acquisition.

Reorganization of Businesses
During the first half of 2013 , 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 2013 , we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $28 million related to the separation of approximately 500 employees, of which 200 were indirect employees and 300 were direct employees.  Of the $28 million , $19 million of charges were recorded within Other charges and $9 million of charges in Cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The $28 million of charges are made up of $30 million for employee separation costs, offset by $2 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed.
During the six months ended June 29, 2013 , we recorded net reorganization of business charges of $39 million related to the separation of approximately 700 employees, of which 300 were indirect employees and 400 were direct employees.  The $39 million recorded for net reorganization of business charges included $30 million of charges in Other charges and $9 million of charges in Cost of sales in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. Included in the aggregate $39 million are charges of $46 million for employee separation costs, offset by $7 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed.
During the three months ended June 30, 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 in 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 in 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, offset by $4 million of reversals for accruals no longer needed.
We expect to realize cost-saving benefits of approximately $20 million during the remaining six months of 2013 from the plans that were initiated during the first six months of 2013 . Beyond 2013 , we expect the reorganization plans initiated during the first six months of 2013 to provide annualized cost savings of approximately $44 million, consisting of: (i) $29 million of savings in SG&A expenses, (ii) $10 million of savings in Cost of sales, and (iii) $5 million of savings in R&D expenditures.

Cash payments for employee severance and exit costs in connection with the reorganization of business plans were $32 million in the first six months of 2013 , and $30 million in the first six months of 2012 . Of the $42 million of reorganization of businesses accruals at June 29, 2013 , $39 million relate to employee separation costs and are expected to be paid in 2013 and 2014 . The remaining $3 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 $387 million from $3.6 billion as of December 31, 2012 to $3.2 billion as of June 29, 2013 . The change in the balances is primarily due to $1.1 billion of capital returned to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends paid during the first half of 2013 , partially offset by: (i) $593 million of net proceeds from the issuance of debt, and (ii) $51 million generated by 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 June 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012 . At June 29, 2013 , approximately $409 million of this amount was held in the U.S. and approximately $1.1 billion was held by the Company or its subsidiaries in other countries (including $271 million in China and $226 million in Germany). At both June 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , restricted cash was $63 million (including $3 million 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 six months of 2013, we repatriated $101 million in funds to the U.S. from international jurisdictions. We have approximately $1.0 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. Subsequent to quarter end, we made a $150 million cash payment for previously accrued non-U.S. income and withholding taxes associated with an intercompany foreign dividend.
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 provided by operating activities from continuing operations in the first half of 2013 was $51 million , as compared to $322 million in the first half of 2012 . Operating cash flows in the first half of 2013, as compared to the first half of 2012 , were negatively impacted by: (i) the timing of our long term contract milestone billings, (ii) increased volume of sales towards the end of the second quarter of 2013 which unfavorably affected receivable collections, (iii) timing of accounts payable, (iv) lower operating earnings, and (v) Indian tax deposits of $43 million.
In the first quarter of 2013, $43 million was seized by the Indian tax authorities from our Indian subsidiary related to Indian income tax and interest assessments currently under review by the Indian and U.S. Competent Authorities. We continue to appeal the Indian tax authorities' seizure of the funds and believe that we will ultimately prevail on this matter and that the related tax and interest reserves are appropriately stated.

31


We contributed $50 million to our U.S. pension plans during the first half of 2013 , compared to $132 million contributed in the first half of 2012 . Subsequent to quarter end, we contributed an additional $26 million to our U.S. pension plans. We expect to make cash contributions of approximately $225 million to our U.S. pension plans in 2013. We contributed $17 million to our non-U.S. pension plans during the first half of 2013 , compared to $18 million contributed in the first half of 2012 .
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $308 million in the first half of 2013 , compared to $1.2 billion in the first half of 2012 . This $878 million decrease was primarily due to the $1.2 billion of proceeds from sales of Sigma Fund investments in the first half of 2012, as compared to $376 million of proceeds from Sigma Fund investments in the first half 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 $1.8 billion at June 29, 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 June 29, 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 continually 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. During those twelve months, we plan to use cash in excess of what is required to run the business for dividends, capital expenditures, and a combination of share repurchases and acquisitions. 
Acquisition and Investments : The Company used net cash for acquisitions and new investment activities of $15 million during the first half of 2013 compared to net cash proceeds of $68 million in the first half of 2012. The $15 million used for new investments and businesses in the first six months of 2013 relates to a number of small investments. The net cash proceeds of $68 million in the first six months of 2012 primarily relates to an agreement reached with Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. during the period to assume the Norwegian Terrestrial Trunked Radio (“TETRA”) public safety network. Under this arrangement we 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.
Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures slightly decreased in the first six months of 2013 to $89 million , compared to $101 million in the first six months of 2012 , primarily driven by a $13 million decrease in opportunity-based expenditures related to our services group.
Sales of Investments and Businesses : We had $21 million of proceeds related to the sales of investments and businesses in the first six months of 2013 , compared to $67 million used for investments and businesses in the first six months of 2012 . The $67 million used for investments and businesses in the first six 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 equity investments. The proceeds in the first six months of 2013 were primarily comprised of proceeds from sales of certain equity investments.
Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities was $341 million in the first six months of 2013 , compared to $1.6 billion in the first six months of 2012 . Cash used for financing activities in the first six months of 2013 was primarily comprised of: (i)  $907 million used for purchases of our common stock under our share repurchase program and (ii) $143 million of cash used for the payment of dividends, partially offset by: (i) $593 million of net proceeds from the issuance of debt and (ii) $100 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common stock in connection with our employee stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan. Net 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 plans.
Long-Term Debt: We had outstanding long-term debt of $2.5 billion at June 29, 2013 , and $1.9 billion at December 31, 2012 , net of current portions of $4 million at both June 29, 2013 and 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, after debt discount and issuance costs.

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.
We continue to assess our capital structure and address opportunities to return capital to shareholders.  Depending on prevailing market conditions, we expect our capital structure to be in a “net debt” (cash and cash equivalents plus Sigma Fund and short term investments less long-term debt) position by sometime in 2014.
Share Repurchase Program: We paid an aggregate of $550 million during the second quarter of 2013 , including transaction costs, to repurchase 9.5 million shares at an average price of $57.80 per share. We paid an aggregate of $907 million during the first half of 2013 , including transaction costs, to repurchase 15.4 million shares at an average price of $58.75 per share. All repurchased shares have been retired.
As of June 29, 2013, we have used approximately $4.5 billion of the share repurchase authority, including transaction costs, to repurchase shares, leaving approximately $545 million of authority available for future repurchases. On July 24, 2013, 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 $7.0 billion.
Payment of Dividends: During the six months ended June 29, 2013 , we paid $143 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock. Subsequent to June 29, 2013 , we paid $69 million in cash dividends to holders of our common stock. On July 24, 2013, we announced that our Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly cash dividend from $0.26 per share to $0.31 per share of common stock.
Credit Facilities
As of June 29, 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. 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 29, 2013 . We did not borrow under the 2011 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement during the six months ended June 29, 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 $91 million at June 29, 2013 , compared to $84 million at December 31, 2012 .
Outstanding Long-Term Receivables: We had net non-current long-term receivables of $22 million at June 29, 2013 , compared to $60 million at December 31, 2012 . These long-term receivables are generally interest bearing, with interest rates generally ranging from 2% to 13%.

At June 29, 2013 , we had retained servicing obligations for $390 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 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financing Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 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. U.S. GAAP does not currently include specific guidance on accounting for such obligations with joint and several liability which has resulted in diversity in practice. The ASU requires an entity to measure these obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The ASU also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The ASU is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements within the updates 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.
In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-08, “ Financial Services - Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements.” This ASU amends the criteria that define an investment company, clarifies the measurement guidance that applies to investment companies, and requires new disclosures. This guidance will be effective beginning January 1, 2014. We are currently assessing the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Derivative Financial Instruments
At June 29, 2013 , we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $667 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 June 29, 2013 and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2012 :

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 29, 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. The second phase is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2013.
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.

v.
Non-Competition regarding Activities.

With respect to a Grantee who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act at the time applicable taxes are assessed, such Grantee may satisfy any minimum statutory withholding obligation, in whole or in part, by either (i) electing to have the Company withhold a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable in connection with the applicable vesting Units, the Fair Market Value of which shall be determined on the applicable RSU Vesting Date in accordance with Section 20 below, to satisfy such Grantee’s minimum statutory tax withholding obligation or (ii) paying, by

4    
 




cash or certified check, the amount necessary to satisfy such Grantee’s minimum statutory tax withholding obligation.
9.

a.
Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company in respect of the Units, including the right to vote and to receive cash dividends and other distributions until delivery of certificate or equivalent representing shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of the Units.

10.
Funding . No assets or shares of Common Stock shall be segregated or earmarked by the Company in respect of any Units awarded hereunder. The grant of Units hereunder shall not constitute a trust and shall be solely for the purpose of recording an unsecured contractual obligation of the Company.

Change In Control - If a “Change in Control” of the Company occurs, and the successor corporation does not assume these Options or replace them with options that are at least comparable to these Options, then: (i) all of your unvested Options will be fully vested and (ii) all of your Options will be exercisable until the Date of Expiration set forth above.

Further, with respect to any Options that are assumed or replaced as described in the preceding paragraph, such assumed or replaced options shall provide that they will be fully vested and exercisable until the Date of Expiration set forth above if you are involuntarily terminated (for a reason other than “Cause”) or if you quit for “Good Reason” within 24 months of the Change in Control.
