Growney reviewed the following results of major operations for the first quarter of 2001 compared with the first quarter of 2000. This review is based on ongoing operations, including pro forma adjustments.

Personal Communications Segment

Segment sales were $2.3 billion, down 29 percent. Orders were $2.8 billion, down 10 percent. The segment incurred an operating loss operating loss

 of $53 million a year ago. The decline in financial performance is due to lower worldwide demand for wireless telephones by service providers and an increase in manufacturing costs as a percent of sales.

In the Americas, sales and orders for wireless telephones were down. In Europe, sales were down very significantly and orders were down. In Asia, sales were significantly lower, while orders were higher.

During the quarter, Motorola announced major steps in a continuing effort to reduce costs in its wireless telephone business while repositioning repositioning Laparoscopic surgery The changing of a Pt's position during a procedure to improve access or visualization of the operative field, which may be linked to complications, as it changes anatomic planes of operation.

Motorola unveiled a variety of new devices, applications and strategic relationships to enhance its position as a leader in the wireless telephone market.

Motorola is the only company to have introduced a complete portfolio of General Packet Radio Service (GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) The first high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that used the GSM technology. GPRS added a packet-switched channel to GSM, which uses dedicated, circuit-switched channels for voice conversations. ) wireless telephones that will offer consumers "always-on" access to the Internet. The company believes that GPRS is the foundation for third-generation (3G) wireless services. Motorola's new wireless telephones incorporate a variety of new features including enhanced screen sizes and the ability to handle data rates up to four times faster than today's most commonly deployed Global System for Mobile Communications (communications) Global System for Mobile Communications - (GSM, originally "Groupe de travail Sp?ciale pour les services Mobiles") One of the major standards for digital cellular communications, in use in over 60 countries and serving over one billion subscribers.  (GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) A digital cellular phone technology based on TDMA that is the predominant system in Europe, but also used worldwide. Developed in the 1980s, GSM was first deployed in seven European countries in 1992. )technology. The new devices are expected to appeal to a wide market of customers, ranging from the business user to the mass consumer market. To enhance the consumer experience of its GPRS devices, Motorola also launched three new popular interactive games for mobile phone users in Europe, Trivial Pursuit Trivial Pursuit is a board game where progress is determined by a player's ability to answer general knowledge, and popular culture questions. The game was made in 1979 by Scott Abbott, a sports editor for the Canadian Press, and Chris Haney, of Welland, Ontario, a photo (TM), Who Wants to be a Millionaire?(TM), and Zobmondo!!(TM).

In the U.S., Motorola began shipping its new V.series(TM) 60c wireless telephone for the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. ) technology and also introduced the Motorola V.series 120c phone. Motorola also began shipping the first two Java(TM) technology-enabled wireless telephones in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere.  for iDEN(R) networks. These wireless telephones represent a new generation of wireless devices capable of running a variety of third-party applications.

Motorola and Nortel Networks (Nortel Networks Limited, Brampton, Ontario, www.nortelnetworks.com) A world leader in telecommunications products, which includes switching, wireless and broadband systems for service providers and carriers, telephones and systems for residential and business users, computer telephony  announced a non-exclusive global agreement to jointly market to wireless operators an integrated 3G solution featuring Motorola wireless telephones.

"Beginning last year and continuing throughout the first quarter, Motorola has undertaken aggressive cost-cutting measures. These steps are necessary to restore Motorola's balance sheet performance, earnings performance and the confidence of our shareholders and employees.

"Motorola has strengthened its senior management by bringing in new leadership with proven track records from outside and we have identified and promoted next-generation leaders from inside Motorola. Today, our businesses are built around a team of operations-focused executives who are committed to driving down costs and improving profit and cash flow.
