Motorola, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 28, 1997, the
Statements of Consolidated Earnings for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 28, 1997 and June 29, 1996, and the Statements of
Condensed Consolidated Cash Flows for the six-month periods ended June 28,
1997 and June 29, 1996 have been prepared by the Company. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (which include reclassifications and normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows at June 28, 1997 and for all periods
presented, have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that
these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
with the restated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-K/A for the year ending December 31, 1996. The results of
operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

2. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following (in millions):
June 28, Dec. 31,
1997 1996

Finished goods $ 968 $ 830
Work in process and production materials 2,695 2,390
Inventories $ 3,663 $ 3,220

3. Income Taxes

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has examined the federal income tax
returns for Motorola, Inc. through 1991 and has settled the respective
returns through 1985. The IRS has completed its field audit of the years
1986 and 1987. In connection with the 1986 and 1987 tax years, the Company
settled the returns for adjustments agreed to at the field level. Certain
adjustments were referred to the Appeals level of the IRS and are expected
to result in a net refund. With regard to the 1988-1991 tax years, the IRS
has proposed certain adjustments to the Company's income and tax credits
for those years, which would result in substantial additional tax. The
Company disagrees with most of the proposed adjustments and is contesting
them. In the opinion of the Company's management, the final disposition of
these matters, and proposed adjustments from other tax authorities, will
not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position,
liquidity or results of operations of the Company.

4. Supplemental Cash Flows Information

Cash payments for income taxes were $318 million during the first six
months of 1997 and $396 million for the same period a year earlier. Cash
payments for interest expense (net of amount capitalized) were $95 million
and $117 million, for the first six-month periods of 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

5. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has evaluated the proforma effects of the recent accounting
pronouncement, SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" which will be effective
for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997. Based on this evaluation,
the proforma effects are not material to the Company's consolidated
financial position, liquidity or results of operations. The Financial
Accounting Standards Board has recently issued two new accounting
standards, Statement 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income and Statement 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. These
statements will affect the disclosure requirements for the 1998 annual
financial statements. Currently, the Company is evaluating the effect of
these new statements.

6. Restatement of Financial Statements

After discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the
1995 sale of its U.S. 800 megahertz Specialized Mobile Radio business,
systems and licenses to Nextel Communications, Inc. for shares of Nextel
stock, the Company has restated its 1995 historical financial statements
and has made resulting reclassifications to the December 31, 1996
Consolidated Balance Sheet. As a result, the Company has amended its Form
10-K for the year ending December 31, 1996 originally filed on March 25,
1997, to reflect the restatement and reclassifications. These condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Form 10-K/A for the year ending December 31, 1996.

7. Reorganization of DRAM Business

On July 1, 1997, the Company announced its decision to phase out its
participation in the dynamic random access memory (DRAM) market. The
Company's second quarter financial results were negatively impacted as a
result of this decision and the associated charge against pre-tax earnings
of $170 million or 18 cents per share. The charge relates primarily to the
write down of both technology development costs and manufacturing
equipment. Earnings in the first six months were also affected by the $170
million or 18 cents per share charge noted above. The per share
comparisons are on a fully diluted basis per common and common equivalent
share.

Motorola, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


This commentary should be read in conjunction with the sections of the
following documents for a full understanding of Motorola's financial
condition and results of operations: from Motorola, Inc.'s 1996 Summary
Annual Report to Stockholders, the Letter to Stockholders on page 2; and
from the Company's Form 10-K/A, Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Item 7, and the
Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, contained in Item 8; and from Motorola, Inc.'s
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending June 28, 1997, of which
this commentary is a part, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
and Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, pages 3
through 7.

Results of Operations:

Sales were $7.5 billion in the second quarter of 1997, up 10.0 percent from
$6.8 billion a year earlier. In the first half, sales rose 2.7 percent to
$14.2 billion from $13.8 billion in the first half of 1996.

As a result of the decision to phase out its participation in the dynamic
random access memory (DRAM) market and the associated charge against
pre-tax earnings of $170 million or 18 cents per share, second quarter
earnings were $268 million or 44 cents per share, compared with $326
million or 54 cents per share a year earlier. Earnings in the first six
months were $593 million or 97 cents per share, compared with $710 million
or $1.17 per share in last year's first half, with the comparison again
affected by the $170 million or 18 cents per share charge noted above. The
per share comparisons are on a fully diluted basis per common and common
equivalent share.

Net margin on sales was 3.6 percent in the second quarter, compared with
4.8 percent a year ago, while the first half net margin was 4.2 percent
against 5.1 percent in the year-earlier period.

Gross margin increased to 33.3 percent of sales in the second quarter of
1997 from 32.9 percent of sales during the year-earlier period. Lower
manufacturing costs, as a percent of sales, in the Semiconductor, Paging
and Cellular Subscriber businesses were the primary areas of improvement.

Cellular Products Segment sales rose 6 percent to $2.8 billion and orders
rose 20 percent. Operating profits were flat, but would have declined
except for a small gain from the sale of two investments. The segment
includes results of the Cellular Subscriber Sector (CSS), the Cellular
Infrastructure Group (CIG) and the Network Management Group.

CSS sales increased, led by Asia-Pacific, China and Europe, while they were
unchanged in Pan America and declined in both Japan and South Korea.
Orders increased significantly led by Asia-Pacific, China, Europe and Pan
America while they declined in Japan and South Korea. Sales and orders for
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) based digital products were
very significantly higher.

CIG sales increased slightly, as higher sales in the Pan American and
Asia-Pacific regions were largely offset by lower sales in Europe and
Japan. Sales were lower in Japan due to the migration from existing
technology to CDMA, in which CIG announced a major award for a nationwide
system in the first quarter of 1997. Orders increased, led by the Pan
American region, Japan and the Asia-Pacific region, while they declined in
Europe.

Semiconductor Products Segment sales were up 3 percent to $2.0 billion, and
orders rose 36 percent. The segment reported an operating loss versus a
profit a year ago. Excluding the impact of charges related to phasing out
participation in the DRAM market, operating profits would have increased.
In deciding to phase out of the DRAM market, the sector announced that it
plans to reallocate resources to other technologies, including proprietary
fast static random access memories (FSRAM) and integrated memories such as
flash and electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM).
Orders increased significantly in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and the
Americas, and were higher in Japan. Among market segments, communications
posted the highest order growth as all end markets had higher orders.
Distributor orders also improved. Among key product segments, orders
increased significantly in all categories except memories, which had
significantly lower orders. The sector was reorganized into five specific
market groups -- Networking & Computer Systems, Wireless Subscriber
Systems, Transportation Systems, Consumer Systems, and Semiconductor
Components.

Land Mobile Products Segment sales rose 22 percent to $1.2 billion. Orders
increased 30 percent and operating profits were higher. Orders for
iDEN(TM) equipment for Integrated Digital Enhanced Networks were up
significantly, including more than $300 million from Nextel Communications,
Inc. for the continued rollout of its nationwide network in the U.S. and
more than $50 million from McCaw International for systems in Brazil and
Argentina. Avantel, a Motorola joint venture in Colombia, announced the
commercial launch of an iDEN system in Bogota with expansion plans for five
additional cities.

Messaging, Information and Media Segment sales increased 6 percent to $1.1
billion, orders rose 1 percent, and operating profits were higher. Orders
in the Paging Group were flat, while orders increased in the Information
Systems Group. The Paging Group again experienced significantly lower
sales and orders from North American paging operators. Management believes
that these operators continue to control inventories tightly in order to
improve their financial positions and cash flow. Paging orders were up
significantly in all international markets except Japan, where orders were
lower.

Automotive, Energy and Components Sector sales increased 6 percent, orders
were 13 percent higher, and operating profits were lower. The sector's
results are reported as part of the "Other Products" segment. Orders
increased in each of the sector's business units. The Energy Products
Division had the highest rate of order growth as demand increased for
rechargeable batteries and battery chargers. Orders in the Components
Product Group increased for printed circuit boards from both external and
internal customers.

Space and Systems Technology Group sales increased 94 percent and orders
were up 187 percent compared with the second quarter of 1996, when order
booking was delayed pending completion of a short-term credit facility
being negotiated by Iridium LLC. The group reported a profit compared with
a loss in the year-earlier period. The group's results are reported as
part of the "Other Products" segment.

Several milestones for the IRIDIUM(R) global communications system were
completed during the quarter. Twelve IRIDIUM satellites were successfully
placed in orbit on two separate launches. On July 9, five more satellites
were placed into orbit. Additional launches are scheduled through May
1998, when the entire constellation of 66 satellites is scheduled to be in
orbit. Comprehensive system testing will continue until the start of
commercial service, expected at the end of September 1998.

Motorola Computer Group sales increased 25 percent and orders were 51
percent higher. The group recorded a similar operating loss to the
year-earlier period. The group's results are reported as part of the
"Other Products" segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 19.7 percent of
sales in the second quarter versus 16.5 percent in the year-earlier period.
The increased percent of sales was largely attributable to the charges
recorded in the quarter related to the phase out of participation in the
DRAM market.

Depreciation expense in the second quarter declined as a percent of sales
to 7.6 percent from 8.4 percent in the year-earlier period, as a result of
decreased fixed asset expenditures in 1996. The tax rate for the second
quarter was 35 percent, the same as the year-earlier period. The tax rate
for the full year 1996 was also 35 percent.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Inventories at June 28, 1997 increased by 14 percent or $443 million,
compared to inventories at December 31, 1996. Property, plant and
equipment, less accumulated depreciation, decreased $214 million since
December 31, 1996.

Motorola's notes payable and current portion of its long-term debt
decreased $31 million, or 2.2 percent, to $1.351 billion at June 28, 1997
from $1.382 billion at December 31, 1996. Long-term debt remained flat at
$1.9 billion from the amount at December 31, 1996. Net debt (notes payable
and current portion of long-term debt plus long-term debt less short-term
investments and cash equivalents) to net debt plus equity decreased to 13.0
percent at June 28, 1997 from 13.4 percent at December 31, 1996. The
Company's total domestic and foreign credit facilities aggregated $4.2
billion at June 28, 1997, of which $397 million were used and the remaining
amount was not drawn, but was available to back up outstanding commercial
paper which totaled $992 million at June 28, 1997. The Company has
guaranteed $750 million of Iridium LLC's bank financing and has agreed in
principal to guarantee an additional $350 million of such bank financing.

As of the end of the reporting period, the Company had no outstanding
interest rate swaps, currency swaps, or options relating to either its debt
instruments or investments.

The Company uses financial instruments to hedge, and therefore attempts to
reduce, its overall exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on
cash flows. The Company's policy is not to speculate in financial
instruments for profit on the exchange rate price fluctuation, trade in
currencies for which there are no underlying exposures, or enter into
trades for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure.
Instruments used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk
associated with the exposure being hedged and must be designated as a hedge
at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in market values of
hedge instruments must be highly correlated with changes in market values
of underlying hedged items both at inception of the hedge and over the life
of the hedge contract.

The Company's strategy is to offset the gains or losses of the financial
instruments against losses or gains on the underlying operational cash
flows or investments based on the operating business units' assessment of
risk. Currently, the Company primarily hedges firm commitments. The Company
expects that there could be hedges of anticipated transactions or
investments in foreign subsidiaries in the future.

Many of the Company's non-functional currency receivables and payables
which are denominated in major currencies that can be traded on open
markets are hedged. The Company uses forward contracts and options to
hedge these currency exposures. A portion of the Company's exposure is to
currencies which are not traded on open markets, such as those in Latin
America and China, and these are addressed, to the extent reasonably
possible, through managing net asset positions, product pricing, and other
means, such as component sourcing.

Assets and liabilities which are denominated in non-functional currencies
are translated to the functional currency on a monthly basis and the
resulting gain or loss is recorded within selling, general, and
administrative expenses in the income statement. Gains and losses on
hedges of existing assets or liabilities are marked to market on a monthly
basis and the result is recorded within selling, general, and
administrative expenses in the income statement. Gains and losses on
financial instruments which hedge firm future commitments are deferred
until such time as the underlying transactions are recognized or recorded
immediately when the transaction is no longer expected to occur. The
criteria used to support the election of deferred accounting is in
accordance with FAS 52 and FAS 80. The foreign exchange financial
instruments which hedge various investments in foreign subsidiaries are
marked to market monthly and the results are recorded in the equity
section. Other gains or losses on financial instruments that do not qualify
as hedges and which are terminated are recognized immediately as income or
expense.

As of June 28, 1997 and June 29, 1996, the Company had net outstanding
foreign exchange contracts totaling $1.6 billion and $1.2 billion,
respectively. The following schedule shows the five largest foreign
exchange hedge positions as of June 28, 1997 and the corresponding
positions at June 29, 1996:

Millions of U.S. Dollars
Buy (Sell) June 28, June 29,
1997 1996

Japanese Yen (427) (357)
British Pound Sterling (356) (185)
German Mark (149) 40
Italian Lira (129) (67)
Singapore Dollar 92 84

As of June 28, 1997 and June 29, 1996, outstanding foreign exchange
contracts primarily consisted of short-term forward contracts. Net deferred
losses on these forward contracts which hedge designated firm commitments
were immaterial at June 28, 1997.

As of the end of the reporting period, the Company had no derivatives which
hedge the value of its minority-owned equity investments. However, the
Company has entered into arrangements whereby the Company may increase its
percentage interest in certain affiliates at the option of the other
Shareholders or the Company at various dates. The value of these
arrangements were immaterial as of the end of the reporting period.

The Company's research and development expense was $678 million in the
second quarter of 1997, compared with $625 million in the second quarter of
1996. Research and development expenditures for the year ended December
31, 1996 were $2.4 billion. The Company continues to believe that a strong
commitment to research and development drives long-term growth. At June
28, 1997, the Company's fixed asset expenditures for the second quarter
totaled $611 million, compared with $736 million in the second quarter of
1996. The Company is currently anticipating that fixed asset expenditures
for 1997 will be flat with the $3.0 billion spent in 1996.

Return on average invested capital (net earnings divided by the sum of
stockholders' equity, long-term debt, notes payable and the current portion
of long-term debt, less short-term investments and cash equivalents) was
7.4 percent based on the performance of the four preceding fiscal quarters
ending June 28, 1997, compared with 14.0 percent based on the performance
of the four preceding fiscal quarters ending June 29, 1996. Motorola's
current ratio (the ratio of current assets to current liabilities) was 1.48
at June 28, 1997, compared to 1.42 at December 31, 1996.

Outlook:

The Company continues to build for the future by redirecting resources to
development programs with the greatest potential and focusing on core
technology platforms. As previously stated, the review of development
programs and businesses which have not met expectations is continuing. The
potential for further actions could result in additional charges against
earnings in the second half of the year.

The Company continues to be affected by a competitive pricing environment
and continued pricing declines in several of its businesses, including the
cellular telephone, cellular infrastructure and paging businesses. This
competitive environment is expected to continue pressuring manufacturing
margins.

Business Risks:

Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about (i)
reallocating resources to other technologies in connection with the
decision to phase out of the DRAM market, (ii) deployment and
commercialization of IRIDIUM(R) Services, (iii) fixed asset expenditures
are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, and
(iv) in "Outlook". Motorola wishes to caution the reader that the factors
below, along with the factors set forth in Motorola's Form 10-K/A in Item 7
on pages 14 and 15 and in its other SEC filings, in some cases have
affected, and could affect Motorola's actual results causing results to
differ materially from those in any forward-looking statement. These
factors include: (i) the success of strategic decisions to improve
performance and compete more effectively, (ii) the ability of Motorola to
contain costs and the extent of unusual charges incurred in connection with
cost-cutting measures, (iii) unforeseen costs in connection with the
decision to phase out of the DRAM market, (iv) pricing of DRAM products
during the market exit period, (v) continued weak demand for paging
products in North America, (vi) acceptance of new digital technology
and the transition from analog to digital technology, (vii) product
deficiencies in the cellular telephone business,(viii) continued steady
growth in emerging markets, (ix) product development risks, including
technological difficulties and commercialization risks related to Iridium
products and services, (x) unexpected fixed asset expenditures, and (xi)
demand and market acceptance risks for new and existing products,
technologies and services.
