Item 8: Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Motorola, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Motorola, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Motorola, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2007, the
Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Also, as discussed in Notes 1 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. Also, as discussed in Notes 1 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements,
effective December 31, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of
FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), Motorola, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on
criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 28, 2008 expressed an
unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
