Motorola Solutions, Inc. 8-K Report (Jan 15, 2002)

Filed January 15, 2002For Securities:MSI

Summary

Motorola, Inc. (MSI) filed an 8-K on January 15, 2002, primarily to provide investors with revised pro-forma consolidated financial statements. These revisions are a result of the company's divestiture of its Integrated Information Systems Group (IISG) and Multiservice Networks Division (MND) in late 2001. The divestitures, which combined accounted for $809 million in sales in 2000, impacted the Commercial, Government and Industrial Systems Segment (IISG) and the Other Products Segment (MND). The core purpose of this filing is to present historical pro-forma financial results for the full year 2000 and the first three quarters of 2001, excluding the financial impact of these divested businesses. This allows investors to better assess the performance and financial health of Motorola's ongoing core operations without the influence of discontinued segments. The detailed revised financial data is available in Exhibit 99.1.
