NORTEL NETWORKS LIMITED

(Under Creditor Protection Proceedings as of January 14, 2009note 2)

Notes to Condensed Combined and Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(Millions of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise
stated)

1. Basis of presentation

Nortel
Networks Limited

Nortel Networks Limited (Nortel or NNL) is a global supplier of end-to-end networking
products and solutions serving both service providers and enterprise customers. Nortels technologies span access and core networks and support multimedia and business-critical applications. Nortels networking solutions consist of
hardware, software and services. Nortel designs, develops, engineers, markets, sells, licenses, installs, services and supports these networking solutions worldwide.

Nortel is the principal direct operating subsidiary of Nortel Networks Corporation (NNC). NNC holds all of Nortels outstanding common shares but none of its outstanding preferred shares (NNL
Preferred Shares).

Combined and Consolidated Financial Statements

The financial statements as at December 31, 2008 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 have been presented on a consolidated
basis. After consideration of the guidance available in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 94 Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code (SOP 90-7) and SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements
(SFAS 160), the financial statements as of June 30, 2009 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 have been presented on a combined and consolidated basis.

SOP 90-7, which is applicable to companies that have filed petitions under applicable bankruptcy code provisions and as a result of the Creditor
Protection Proceedings is applicable to Nortel, generally does not change the manner in which financial statements are prepared. However, it does require that the financial statements for periods subsequent to the filing of an applicable bankruptcy
petition distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with a reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. For this reason, Nortels revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses that
can be directly associated with the Creditor Protection Proceedings (as defined in note 2) must be reported separately as reorganization items in the statements of operations beginning in the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The balance sheets
must distinguish pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise from both those pre-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise and from post-petition liabilities. Liabilities that may be affected by a plan of reorganization must be
reported at the amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. In addition, reorganization items must be disclosed separately in the statements of cash flows. Nortel adopted SOP 90-7 effective on
January 14, 2009 and has segregated those items outlined above for all reporting periods subsequent to such date.

As further
described in note 2, beginning on January 14, 2009 Nortel and certain of its subsidiaries in Canada, the U.S., and in certain Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) countries filed for creditor protection under the relevant
jurisdictions of Canada, the U.S., the U.K. and subsequently in Israel. Notwithstanding these filings, other than with respect to the EMEA subsidiaries which filed for creditor protection (the EMEA Debtors, as defined in note 2), Nortel continues to
exercise control over its subsidiaries located in Canada, the U.S., CALA and Asia, and those subsidiaries in EMEA that are not included in the U.K. Administration Proceedings and Israeli Administration Proceedings (as defined in note 2), and these
condensed financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis with respect to those subsidiaries. However, as the U.K Administrators and Israeli Administrators (each as defined in note 2) exhibit certain elements of control over the EMEA
Debtors and Israeli

Debtors particularly with respect to the transfer of cash between legal entities (especially across jurisdictions), the potential sale of certain assets, and
certain employee related matters, Nortels ability to exercise certain elements of control has been inhibited. Based on its review of the applicable accounting guidance, Nortel concluded that as it does not have all elements of control over the
EMEA Debtors, it is precluded from consolidating such subsidiaries in these condensed financial statements.

In accordance with SFAS 160,
Nortel has determined that it is appropriate to prepare combined financial statements, instead of preparing separate financial statements, including the EMEA Debtors, as all the EMEA Debtors are deemed to be under common management with Nortel and
its consolidated subsidiaries. Nortel considered several factors in assessing common management, including: (i) the intellectual property (IP) used by the EMEA Debtors and the Israeli Debtors is substantially owned by Nortel and the EMEA
Debtors business cannot operate without such IP; (ii) Nortel continues to operate on a business segment basis that does not for purposes of this analysis align with legal entities, requiring the businesses to operate across regions
consistent with its practice prior to the Creditor Protection Proceedings (as defined in note 2); (iii) the U.K. Administrators indication that they will work closely, as disclosed in the U.K. Administrators Statement of Proposals
(February 2009), with Nortel, the Canadian Monitor and the U.S. Creditors Committee, (each as defined in note 2) in order to facilitate the Creditor Protection Proceedings; and (iv) management of Nortel and its consolidated entities
generally continues to make the significant hiring, termination, compensation, operational, (including contracting), and budgeting decisions in working with the U.K. Administrators.

In accordance with SFAS 160, the EMEA Debtors and the Israeli Debtors were deconsolidated prior to being combined with no impact on these condensed
financial statements as it was not determinable that the carrying values of the net liabilities differed materially from their estimated fair values and, due to Nortel and its subsidiaries continuing involvement with the EMEA Debtors and the Israeli
Debtors including Nortels guarantee of the U.K. pension liability (see note 2), the net liabilities should continue to be included in the condensed financial statements.

In preparing the combined financial statements, intercompany transactions and profits or losses have been eliminated, and noncontrolling interests,
foreign operations and income taxes have been treated in the same manner as they have been for consolidated financial statement purposes.

Basis of
Presentation and Going Concern Issues

The unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements do not include all
information and notes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) in the preparation of annual combined and consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the
unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in Nortels audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2008,
except as discussed above and in notes 3 and 4. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 is derived from the December 31, 2008 audited consolidated financial statements. Although Nortel is headquartered in
Canada, the unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. Dollars as the greater part of Nortels financial results and net assets are denominated in U.S. Dollars.

Nortel makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as
of the date of the unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting
for items and matters such as revenue recognition and accruals for losses on contracts, allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory provisions, product warranties, estimated useful lives of intangible assets and plant and equipment,
asset valuations, impairment assessments, employee benefits including pensions, taxes and related valuation allowances and provisions, restructuring and other provisions, share-based compensation, contingencies and pre-petition liabilities.

Nortel believes all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented
have been made and all such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. The financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of financial results for the full year
or for any other quarter. The unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Nortels Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Canadian securities regulatory authorities (2008 Annual Report).

The
commencement of the Creditor Protection Proceedings raises substantial doubt as to whether Nortel will be able to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same
U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC as applied by Nortel prior to the Creditor Protection Proceedings, except as disclosed above and in notes 3 and 4. While the Debtors (as defined in note 2) have filed for and been granted creditor
protection, the unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements continue to be prepared using the going concern basis, which assumes that Nortel will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course
of business for the foreseeable future. During the Creditor Protection Proceedings, and until the completion of any proposed divestitures or a decision to cease operations in certain countries is made, the businesses of the Debtors continue to
operate under the jurisdictions and orders of the applicable courts and in accordance with applicable legislation. Nortel has continued to operate the businesses by renewing and seeking to grow business with existing customers, competing for new
customers, continuing significant R&D investments, and ensuring the ongoing supply of goods and services through the supply chain in an effort to maintain or improve customer service and loyalty levels. Nortel has also continued its focus on
cost containment and cost reduction initiatives during this time. It is Nortels intention to continue to operate its businesses in this manner to maintain and maximize the value of its businesses until they are sold. However, it is not
possible to predict the outcome of the Creditor Protection Proceedings and, as such, the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities are each subject to significant uncertainty. If the going concern basis is not appropriate, adjustments will
be necessary to the carrying amounts and/or classification of Nortels assets and liabilities. Further, a court approved plan in connection with the Creditor Protection Proceedings could materially change the carrying amounts and
classifications reported in the unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited condensed combined and
consolidated financial statements do not purport to reflect or provide for the consequences of the Creditor Protection Proceedings. In particular, such unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements do not purport to show:
(a) as to assets, their realizable value on a liquidation basis or their availability to satisfy liabilities; (b) as to pre-petition liabilities, all amounts that may be allowed for claims or contingencies, or the status and priority
thereof, or the amounts at which they may ultimately be settled; (c) as to shareholders accounts, the effect of any changes that may be made in Nortels capitalization; or (d) as to operations, the effect of any changes that may
be made in Nortels business.

Comparative figures

Certain 2008 figures in the unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to Nortels current presentation.

Recent accounting pronouncements



|(i) | In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (SFAS 166). SFAS 166
revises SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 140), and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization
transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after November 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively.
Nortel plans to adopt the provisions of SFAS 166 on January 1, 2010. Nortel is currently assessing the impact of adoption of SFAS 166.

|(ii) | In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No.46(R) (SFAS 167). SFAS 167 revises FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, and changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity
is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entitys purpose and design and the reporting entitys ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impacts the other
entitys economic performance. SFAS 167 is effective for interim and annual periods after November 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. Nortel plans to adopt the provisions of SFAS 167 on January 1, 2010. Nortel is currently
assessing the impact of adoption of SFAS 167.

amends FASB statement 132R, Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits and will require more information about how investment allocation decisions are made, more information about major categories of
plan assets, including concentrations of risk and fair-value measurements, and the fair-value techniques and inputs used to measure plan assets. FSP FAS 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008 and will be applied
prospectively. Nortel plans to adopt the provisions of FSP FAS 132(R)-1 for the year ending December 31, 2009. Nortel is currently assessing the impact of adoption of FSP FAS 132(R)-1.

2. Creditor protection proceedings

On
January 14, 2009, after extensive consideration of all other alternatives, with the unanimous decision of the Board of Directors after thorough consultation with advisors, Nortel initiated creditor protection proceedings under the respective
restructuring regimes of Canada, the U.S. and the United Kingdom. Nortels affiliates based in Asia, including LG-Nortel Co. Ltd. (LGN), in the Central and Latin America (CALA) region and the Nortel Government Solutions
(NGS) business, are not included in these proceedings. At this point in the Creditor Protection Proceedings, Nortel is focused on maximizing value for its stakeholders. On June 19, 2009 Nortel announced that it was advancing in discussions with
external parties to sell its businesses. On June 19, 2009, Nortel also announced a stalking horse asset sale agreement with Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. (NSN) for the sale of substantially all of its Code Division Multiple Access
(CDMA) business and Long Term Evolution (LTE) Access assets. On July 24, 2009, in accordance with court approved procedures, Nortel concluded a successful auction for these assets and executed a formal asset sale
agreement for the sale of substantially all of its CDMA business and LTE Access assets with Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Ericsson), who emerged as the successful bidder with a purchase price of $1,130 subject to purchase price
adjustments under certain circumstances. On July 20, 2009 Nortel announced stalking horse and other sale agreements with Avaya Inc. (Avaya) for the planned sale of substantially all of the assets of the Enterprise Solutions
(ES) business globally, including the shares of Nortel Government Solutions (NGS) and DiamondWare, Ltd., for a purchase price of $475, subject to an auction process and certain purchase price adjustments. Nortel continues to
advance in its discussions with external parties to sell its other businesses. To provide maximum flexibility Nortel has also taken appropriate steps to complete the move to organizational standalone businesses. Nortel will assess other
restructuring alternatives for these businesses in the event it is unable to maximize value through sales.

On August 10, 2009, Nortel
announced that it was at a natural transition point resulting in a number of leadership changes and a new organizational structure designed to work towards the completion of the sales of its businesses and other restructuring activities. Effective
August 10, 2009, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mike Zafirovski will step down. Also effective August 10, 2009, the Boards of Directors of NNC and Nortel will reduce from nine to three members: John A. MacNaughton,
Jalynn H. Bennett and David Richardson, with Mr. Richardson serving as Chairperson. These individuals will also serve as members of NNCs and Nortels audit committees.

##### Table of Contents

In connection with these changes Nortel will be seeking Canadian Court approval for the Canadian Monitor,
to take on an enhanced role with respect to the oversight of the business, sales processes and other restructuring activities under the CCAA Proceedings (as defined below). Further, Nortel is in the process of identifying a principal officer for the
U.S. Debtors who will work in conjunction with the U.S. Creditors Committee (as defined below), Bondholder Group (as defined below), and the Canadian Monitor, which appointment will be subject to the approval of the U.S. Court (as defined
below).

Nortel is also establishing a streamlined structure that will enable it to effectively continue to serve its customers, and also
facilitate the sales of its businesses and integration processes with acquiring companies as well as continue with its restructuring activities. Nortels business units will report to the Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO), Pavi
Binning. The mergers and acquisitions teams will continue their work under the Chief Strategy Officer, George Riedel. Nortel Business Services (NBS) will continue to be led by Joe Flanagan and continue to serve the transitional
operations needs of Nortels businesses as they are sold to ensure customer and network service levels are maintained throughout the sale and integration processes. A core Corporate Group is being established that will be primarily responsible
for the management of ongoing restructuring activities during the sales process as well as post business dispositions. This group will be lead by John Doolittle, formerly Nortels Treasurer. These leaders will report to the Nortel and NNC
Boards of Directors, the Canadian Monitor (as defined below) and the proposed U.S. principal officer.

CCAA Proceedings

On January 14, 2009 (Petition Date), NNC, Nortel and certain other Canadian subsidiaries (Canadian Debtors) obtained an
initial order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Canadian Court) for creditor protection for 30 days, pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA), which has since been extended
to October 30, 2009 and is subject to further extension by the Canadian Court (CCAA Proceedings). There is no guarantee that the Canadian Debtors will be able to obtain court orders or approvals with respect to motions the Canadian
Debtors may file from time to time to extend further the applicable stays of actions and proceedings against them. Pursuant to the initial order, the Canadian Debtors received approval to continue to undertake various actions in the normal course in
order to maintain stable and continuing operations during the CCAA Proceedings.

Under the terms of the initial order, Ernst &
Young Inc. was named as the court-appointed monitor under the CCAA Proceedings (Canadian Monitor). The Canadian Monitor has reported and will continue to report to the Canadian Court from time to time on the Canadian Debtors
financial and operational position and any other matters that may be relevant to the CCAA Proceedings. In addition, the Canadian Monitor may advise and, to the extent required, assist the Canadian Debtors on matters relating to the Creditor
Protection Proceedings.

As a consequence of the CCAA Proceedings, generally, all actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment or
repayment of liabilities of any Canadian Debtor preceding the Petition Date and substantially all pending claims and litigation against the Canadian Debtors and their officers and directors have been stayed until October 30, 2009, or such
further date as may be ordered by the Canadian Court. In addition, the CCAA Proceedings have been recognized by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (U.S. Court) as foreign proceedings pursuant to
the provisions of Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, giving effect in the U.S., to the stay granted by the Canadian Court. A cross-border court-to-court protocol (as amended) has also been approved by the U.S. Court and the Canadian Court. This
protocol provides the U.S. Court and the Canadian Court with a framework for the coordination of the administration of the Chapter 11 Proceedings (as defined below) and the CCAA Proceedings on matters of concern to both courts.

| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 11 Proceedings

Also on the Petition Date, NNI, Nortel Networks Capital Corporation (NNCC) and certain other of Nortels U.S. affiliates (U.S.
Debtors), other than Nortel Networks (Cala) Inc. (NNCI), filed voluntary

##### Table of Contents

petitions under Chapter 11 with the U.S. Court (Chapter 11 Proceedings). The U.S. Debtors received approval from the U.S. Court for a number of
motions enabling them to continue to operate their businesses generally in the ordinary course. Among other things, the U.S. Debtors received approval to continue paying employee wages and certain benefits in the ordinary course; to generally
continue their cash management system, including approval of a revolving loan agreement between NNI as lender and Nortel as borrower with an initial advance to Nortel of $75, to support Nortels ongoing working capital and general corporate
funding requirements; and to continue honoring customer obligations and paying suppliers for goods and services received on or after the Petition Date. On July 14, 2009, NNCI, a U.S. based subsidiary that operates in the CALA region, also filed
a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Court and thereby became one of the U.S. Debtors subject to the Chapter 11 Proceedings although the petition date for NNCI is July 14, 2009. On July 17, 2009, the U.S. Court
entered an order of joint administration that provided for the joint administration of NNCIs case with the pre-existing cases of the other U.S. Debtors.

As required under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, on January 22, 2009, the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors, which currently includes The Bank of
New York Mellon, Flextronics Corporation, Airvana, Inc., Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York (U.S. Creditors Committee). The U.S. Creditors Committee has the right to be heard
on all matters that come before the U.S. Court with respect to the U.S. Debtors. There can be no assurance that the U.S. Creditors Committee will support the U.S. Debtors positions on matters to be presented to the U.S. Court. In
addition, a group purporting to hold substantial amounts of Nortels publicly traded debt has organized (Bondholder Group). Nortels management and the Canadian Monitor have met with the Bondholder Group and its advisors to
provide status updates and share information with them that has been shared with other major stakeholders. Disagreements between the Debtors and the U.S. Creditors Committee and the Bondholder Group could protract and negatively impact the
Creditor Protection Proceedings (as defined below), and the Debtors ability to operate.

As a consequence of the commencement of the
Chapter 11 Proceedings, generally, all actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment or repayment of liabilities of any U.S. Debtor preceding the Petition Date and substantially all pending claims and litigation against the U.S. Debtors have been
automatically stayed for the pendency of the Chapter 11 Proceedings (absent any court order lifting the stay). In addition, the U.S. Debtors applied for and obtained an order in the Canadian Court recognizing the Chapter 11 Proceedings in the U.S.
as foreign proceedings in Canada and giving effect, in Canada, to the automatic stay under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Administration
Proceedings

Also on the Petition Date, certain of Nortels EMEA affiliates (EMEA Debtors) made consequential
filings and each obtained an administration order from the English High Court of Justice (English Court) under the Insolvency Act 1986 (U.K. Administration Proceedings). The filings were made by the EMEA Debtors under the
provisions of the European Unions Council Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 on Insolvency Proceedings (EC Regulation) and on the basis that each EMEA Debtors center of main interests was in England. Under the terms of the orders,
a representative of Ernst & Young LLP (in the U.K.) and a representative of Ernst & Young Chartered Accountants (in Ireland) were appointed as joint administrators with respect to the EMEA Debtor in Ireland, and representatives of
Ernst & Young LLP were appointed as joint administrators for the other EMEA Debtors (collectively, U.K. Administrators) to manage each of the EMEA Debtors affairs, business and property under the jurisdiction of the
English Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Insolvency Act 1986. The Insolvency Act 1986 provides for a moratorium during which creditors may not, without leave of the English Court or consent of the U.K. Administrators,
wind up the company, enforce security, or commence or progress legal proceedings. All of Nortels operating EMEA subsidiaries except those in the following countries are included in the U.K. Administration Proceedings: Nigeria, Russia, Ukraine,
Israel, Norway, Switzerland, South Africa and Turkey. Certain of Nortels Israeli subsidiaries (Israeli Debtors) have commenced separate creditor protection proceedings in Israel (Israeli Administration Proceedings). On

##### Table of Contents

January 19, 2009, an Israeli court (Israeli Court) appointed administrators over the Israeli Debtors (Israeli Administrators). The orders of
the Israeli Court provide for a stay in respect of the Israeli Debtors whose creditors are prevented from taking steps against the companies or their assets and which, subject to further orders of the Israeli Court, remains in effect during the
Israeli Administration Proceedings.

The U.K. Administration Proceedings in relation to NNUK have been recognized by the U.S. Court as
foreign main proceedings pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, giving effect in the U.S. to the moratorium provided by the Insolvency Act 1986.

On May 28, 2009, at the request of the U.K. Administrators of Nortel Networks S.A. (NNSA), the Commercial Court of Versailles, France
(French Court) ordered the commencement of secondary proceedings in respect of NNSA. The secondary proceedings consist of liquidation proceedings during which NNSA will continue to operate as a going concern for an initial period of
three months subject to extension upon the approval of the French Court. In accordance with the EC Regulation, the U.K. Administration Proceedings remain the main proceedings in respect of NNSA although a French Administrator has been appointed
(French Administrator) and is in charge of the day-to-day affairs and continuing business of NNSA and a French Liquidator has also been appointed (French Liquidator) who is in charge of the sale process of the business of
NNSA.

The Canadian Debtors, U.S. Debtors, EMEA Debtors and Israeli Debtors are together referred to as the Debtors; the CCAA Proceedings,
the Chapter 11 Proceedings, the U.K. Administration Proceeding, the Israeli Administration Proceedings and the French Administration Proceedings are together referred to as the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

Significant Business Divestitures

CDMA and
LTE Access Assets

On June 19, 2009 NNC announced that it, Nortel, and certain of NNCs other subsidiaries, including NNI, had
entered into a stalking horse asset sale agreement with NSN for the sale of substantially all of its CDMA business and LTE Access assets for $650, subject to purchase price adjustments under certain circumstances. This sale required a court-approved
bidding process, known as a stalking horse or 363 Sale under Chapter 11 that allowed other qualified bidders to submit higher or otherwise better offers. Bidding procedures were approved by the U.S. Court and Canadian Court in late June.
Competing bids were required to be submitted by July 21, 2009 and an auction with the qualified bidders was held on July 24, 2009. Ericsson emerged as the successful bidder for the sale of substantially all of its CDMA business and LTE
Access assets for a purchase price of $1,130, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. Nortel obtained U.S. Court and Canadian Court approvals for the sale to Ericsson on July 28, 2009. Closing is expected to occur later this year and is
subject to regulatory and other customary closing conditions. As part of this agreement, a minimum of 2,500 Nortel employees supporting the CDMA and LTE Access business are expected to receive offers of employment from Ericsson. The related CDMA and
LTE Access assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale at June 30, 2009. The related CDMA and LTE Access financial results have not been classified as discontinued operations as they did not meet the definition of a component
of an entity under U.S. GAAP. In connection with this transaction, Nortel and NNI paid an aggregate break-up fee of $19.5 plus $3 in expense reimbursements to NSN.

Enterprise Solutions Business

On July 20, 2009 NNC announced that it, Nortel and certain of
NNCs other subsidiaries, including NNI and NNUK, have entered into a stalking horse asset and share sale agreement with Avaya for its North American, CALA and Asian ES business; and an asset sale agreement with Avaya for the
EMEA portion of its ES business

##### Table of Contents

for a purchase price of $475 subject to purchase price adjustments under certain circumstances. These agreements include the planned sale of substantially
all of the assets of the ES business globally as well as the shares of NGS and DiamondWare, Ltd.

Nortel filed the stalking horse asset and
share sale agreement with the U.S. Court along with a motion seeking the establishment of bidding procedures for an auction that allows other qualified bidders to submit higher or otherwise better offers, as required under Section 363 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code. A similar motion for the approval of the bidding procedures has been filed with the Canadian Court. Nortel obtained Canadian Court and U.S. Court approval for the bidding procedures on August 4, 2009. Competing bids are
required to be submitted by September 4, 2009 and an auction with the qualified bidders is scheduled for September 11, 2009. Following completion of the bidding process, final approval of the U.S. and Canadian courts will be required.

Save for in relation to NNSA, the U.K. Administrators have the authority, without further court approval, to enter into the EMEA asset
sale agreement on behalf of each of the EMEA Debtors. In some EMEA jurisdictions, this transaction is subject to compliance with information and consultation obligations with employee representatives prior to finalization of the terms of the sale.

In addition to the processes and approvals outlined above, consummation of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of regulatory
and other conditions and the receipt of various approvals, including governmental approvals in Canada and the United States and the approval of the courts in France and Israel.

As a result of the court approvals outlined above, Nortel has begun the process of identifying the individual assets and liabilities as of June 30,
2009 that are expected to be included as part of the sale transaction. These assets and liabilities will be classified as assets held for sale in the third quarter of 2009.

LGN Joint Venture

On May 27,
2009 Nortel announced that it has decided to seek a buyer for its majority stake (50% plus 1 share) in LGN, the Korean joint venture with LG Electronics, Inc. (LGE). Nortels affiliates based in Asia including LGN have not filed for
creditor protection; however, pursuant to its ongoing creditor protection proceedings, Nortel filed a motion with the Canadian Court and received approval of a proposed sale process that has been agreed with LGE and the appointment of Goldman,
Sachs & Co. to assist with the proposed divestiture. Any proposed sale that results from the sale process will require the consent of LGE under the terms of the joint venture agreement, and further approval of the Canadian Court.

July 30, 2009, Nortel Networks International Finance & Holdings B. V. (NNIF), an EMEA Debtor, announced that it is evaluating its strategic options including a possible disposal of its 53.13% stake in Nortel Networks Netas
Telekomunikasyon A.S. (Netas), a publicly traded Turkish company, as part of the ongoing restructuring of Nortel.

Further
Divestitures

The Creditor Protection Proceedings may result in additional sales or divestitures, but Nortel can provide no assurance
that it will be able to complete any sale or divestiture on acceptable terms or at all. On June 19, 2009, Nortel announced that it was advancing in discussions with external parties to sell its other businesses. On February 18, 2009, the
U.S. Court approved procedures for the sale or abandonment by the U.S. Debtors of assets with a de minimis value. The Canadian Debtors can generally take similar actions with the approval of the Canadian Monitor. In France, the French
Administrator and French Liquidator have the ability to deal with assets of de minimis value in a similar way under statute. There is no formal concept of abandonment of assets with a de minimis value in the U.K.
Administration Proceedings, although the U.K. Administrators will ordinarily not

take any steps to deal with assets where there is no benefit to creditors in them doing so. As Nortel continues to advance in discussions to sell its other
businesses, it will consult with the Canadian Monitor, the U.K. Administrators, the U.S. Creditors Committee, the Bondholder Group and other stakeholders as appropriate (including the French Administrator, the French Liquidator and the Israeli
Administrators as necessary), and any proposed divestiture may be subject to the approval of affected stakeholders and the relevant courts. There can be no assurance that any further proposed sale or divestiture will be developed, confirmed or
approved, where required, by any of the relevant courts or affected stakeholders.

Jurisdictional Analysis

Nortel is currently undergoing an in-depth analysis to assess the strategic and economic value of several of its subsidiaries, in particular those that
are incurring losses and require financial assistance or support in order to carry on business. In light of this analysis, Nortel has started making decisions to cease operations in certain countries that are no longer considered strategic or
material to our business or where such losses cannot be supported or justified on an ongoing basis.

Business Operations

During the Creditor Protection Proceedings, and until the completion of any proposed divestitures or a decision to cease operations in certain countries
is made, the businesses of the Debtors continue to operate under the jurisdictions and orders of the applicable courts and in accordance with applicable legislation. Nortel has continued to engage with its existing customer base in an effort to
maintain delivery of products and services, minimize interruptions as a result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings and Nortels divestiture efforts and resolve any interruptions in a timely manner. At the beginning of the proceedings, Nortel
established a senior procurement team, along with appropriate advisors, to address supplier issues and concerns as they arose to ensure ongoing supply of goods and services and minimize any disruption in its global supply chain. This procedure
continues to function effectively and any supply chain issues are being dealt with on a timely basis.

Contracts

Under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the U.S. Debtors may assume, assume and assign, or reject certain executory contracts including unexpired leases, subject
to the approval of the U.S. Court and certain other conditions. Pursuant to the initial order of the Canadian Court, the Canadian Debtors are permitted to repudiate any arrangement or agreement, including real property leases. Any reference to any
such agreements or instruments and to termination rights or a quantification of Nortels obligations under any such agreements or instruments is qualified by any overriding rejection, repudiation or other rights the Debtors may have as a result
of or in connection with the Creditor Protection Proceedings. The administration orders granted by the English Court do not give any similar unilateral rights to the U.K. Administrators. The U.K. Administrators and in the case of NNSA, the French
Administrator decide in each case whether an EMEA Debtor should continue to perform under an existing contract on the basis of whether it is in the interests of that administration to do so. Claims may arise as a result of a Debtor rejecting,
repudiating or no longer continuing to perform any contract or arrangement, which claims would usually be unsecured. Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have assumed and rejected or repudiated various contracts, including real property leases and
commercial agreements. The Debtors will continue to review other contracts throughout the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

Creditor Protection
Proceeding Claims

On August 4, 2009, the U.S. Court approved the establishment of a claims process in the U.S. for claims that
arose prior to Petition Date. Under this claims process, proof of claims must be received by the U.S. Claims Agent, Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC, by no later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on September 30, 2009.

##### Table of Contents

On July 30, 2009, Nortel announced that the Canadian Court approved the establishment of a claims
process in Canada in connection with the CCAA Proceedings. Under this claims process, proof of claims other than Compensation Claims must be received by the Canadian Monitor, Ernst & Young Inc., by no later than 4:00 p.m.
(Eastern Time) on September 30, 2009.

In relation to NNSA, claims must be submitted to the French Administrator no later than
August 12, 2009 with respect to French creditors and October 12, 2009 with respect to foreign creditors.

In relation to the
Israeli Debtors, the Israeli Court determined that claims should be submitted to the Israeli Administrators by no later than July 26, 2009.

The unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2009 do not include the effects of any current or future claims relating to the Creditor Protection Proceedings. Certain
claims filed may have priority over those of the Debtors unsecured creditors. Currently, it is not possible to determine the extent of claims filed and to be filed, whether such claims will be disputed and whether they will be subject to
discharge in the Creditor Protection Proceedings. It is also not possible at this time to determine whether to establish any additional liabilities in respect of claims. The Debtors are reviewing all claims filed and are beginning the claims
reconciliation process.

Interim Funding and Settlement Agreement

Historically, Nortel has deployed its cash through a variety of intercompany borrowing and transfer pricing arrangements to allow it to operate on a
global basis and to allocate profits and losses, and certain costs, among the corporate group. In particular, the Canadian Debtors have continued to allocate profits and losses, and certain costs, among the corporate group through transfer pricing
agreement payments (TPA payments). Other than one $30 payment made by NNI to Nortel in respect of amounts that Nortel believes are owed in connection with the transfer pricing agreement, TPA payments had been suspended since the Petition Date. The
Canadian Debtors, the U.S. Debtors and the EMEA Debtors, with the support of the U.S. Creditors Committee and the Bondholder Group, entered into an Interim Funding and Settlement Agreement (IFSA) dated June 9, 2009 under which
NNI will pay $157 to Nortel, in four installments during the period ending September 30, 2009 in full and final settlement of TPA Payments for the period from the Petition Date to September 30, 2009. A portion of this funding may be
repayable by Nortel to NNI in certain circumstances. The IFSA was approved by the U.S. Court and Canadian Court on June 29, 2009 and on June 23, 2009, the English Court confirmed that the U.K. Administrators were at liberty to enter into
the IFSA on behalf of each of the EMEA Debtors (save for NNSA which was authorized to enter into the IFSA by the French Court on July 7, 2009). There can be no assurance that this funding will be sufficient to fund the Canadian Debtors
operations during this period. Further arrangements will be necessary in order to address Nortel liquidity needs for periods subsequent to September 30, 2009 as the IFSA provides funding through this date and there can be no assurance that the
Canadian Debtors will be able to arrange additional funding sufficient to fund operations post-September 30, 2009.

Export Development Canada
Support Facility; Other Contracts and Debt Instruments

Effective January 14, 2009, Nortel entered into an agreement with
Export Development Canada (EDC) (Short-Term Support Agreement) to permit continued access by Nortel to the EDC support facility (EDC Support Facility), for an interim period to February 13, 2009, for up to
$30 of support based on its then-estimated requirements over the period. The EDC Support Facility provides for the issuance of support in the form of guarantee bonds or guarantee type documents issued to financial institutions that issue letters of
credit or guarantee, performance or surety bonds, or other instruments in support of Nortels contract performance. EDC subsequently agreed to extend this interim period to May 1, 2009. Under an amending agreement dated April 24,
2009, this interim period was further extended to July 30, 2009. On June 18, 2009, Nortel and EDC entered into a further amendment to the Short-Term Support Agreement and a cash collateral agreement (Cash Collateral Agreement).
Pursuant to the current Short-Term Support Agreement as amended, continued access by Nortel to



14



---

##### Table of Contents

the EDC Support Facility is at the sole discretion of EDC. Nortel has provided cash collateral of $6.5 for all outstanding post-petition support in
accordance with the terms of the Cash Collateral Agreement, and the charge that was previously granted by the Canadian Court over certain of Nortels assets in favor of EDC is no longer in force or effect. On July 28, 2009, Nortel and EDC
entered into a further amendment to the Short-Term Support Agreement to extend the interim period to October 30, 2009.

Nortels
filings under Chapter 11 and the CCAA constituted events of default or otherwise triggered repayment obligations under the instruments governing substantially all of the indebtedness issued or guaranteed by Nortel, NNC, NNI and NNCC. In addition,
Nortel may not be in compliance with certain other covenants under indentures, the EDC Support Facility and other debt or lease instruments, and the obligations under those agreements may have been accelerated. Nortel believes that any efforts to
enforce such payment obligations against the U.S. Debtors are stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Proceedings. Although the CCAA does not provide an automatic stay, the Canadian Court has granted a stay to the Canadian Debtors that currently
extends to October 30, 2009. Pursuant to the U.K. Administration Proceedings, a moratorium has commenced during which creditors may not, without leave of the English Court or consent of the U.K. Administrators, enforce security, or commence or
progress legal proceedings. The Israeli Administration Proceedings also provide for a stay which remains in effect during the pendency of such proceedings.

The Creditor Protection Proceedings may have also constituted events of default under other contracts and leases of the Debtors. In addition, the Debtors may not be in compliance with various covenants under other
contracts and leases. Depending on the jurisdiction, actions taken by counterparties or lessors based on such events of default and other breaches may be unenforceable as a result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

In addition, the Creditor Protection Proceedings may have caused, directly or indirectly, defaults or events of default under the debt instruments and/or
contracts and leases of certain of Nortels non-Debtor entities. These events of default (or defaults that become events of default) could give counterparties the right to accelerate the maturity of this debt or terminate such contracts or
leases.

Flextronics

On
January 14, 2009, Nortel announced that it had entered into an amendment to arrangements (Amending Agreement) with a major supplier, Flextronics Telecom Systems, Ltd. (Flextronics). Under the terms of the amendment,
Nortel agreed to commitments to purchase $120 of existing inventory by July 1, 2009 and to make quarterly purchases of other inventory, and to terms relating to payment and pricing. Flextronics had notified Nortel of its intention to terminate
certain other arrangements upon 180 days notice (in July 2009) pursuant to the exercise by Flextronics of its contractual termination rights, while the other arrangements between the parties will continue in accordance with their terms.
Following subsequent negotiations, Nortel has resolved all ongoing disputes and issues relating to the interpretation of the Amending Agreement and has confirmed, among other things, its obligation to purchase inventory in accordance with existing
plans of record of $25. In addition, one of the supplier agreements with Flextronics will not terminate on July 12, 2009, as originally referenced in the Amending Agreement, but instead has been extended to December 2009, with a further
extension for certain products to July 2010.

Directors and Officers Compensation and Indemnification

The Canadian Court has ordered the Canadian Debtors to indemnify their respective directors and officers for all claims that may be made against them
relating to any failure of the Canadian Debtors to comply with certain statutory payment and remittance obligations arising during the CCAA Proceedings. The Canadian Court has also granted a charge against all property of the Canadian Debtors, in
the aggregate amount not exceeding CAD$90, as security for such indemnities and related legal fees and expenses.

##### Table of Contents

In addition, in conjunction with the Creditor Protection Proceedings, NNC established a directors
and officers trust (D&O Trust) in the amount of approximately CAD$12. The purpose of the D&O Trust is to provide a trust fund for the payment of liability claims (including defense costs) that may be asserted against
individuals who serve as directors and officers of NNC, or as directors and officers of other entities at NNCs request (such as subsidiaries and joint venture entities), by reason of that association with NNC or other entity, to the extent
that such claims are not paid or satisfied out of insurance maintained by NNC and NNC is unable to indemnify the individual. Such liability claims would include claims for unpaid statutory payment or remittance obligations of NNC or such other
entities for which such directors and officers have personal statutory liability but will not include claims for which NNC is prohibited by applicable law from providing indemnification to such directors or officers. The D&O Trust also may be
drawn upon to maintain directors and officers insurance coverage in the event NNC fails or refuses to do so. The D&O Trust will remain in place until the later of December 31, 2015 or three years after all known actual or
potential claims have been satisfied or resolved, at which time any remaining trust funds will revert to NNC.

As part of the relief sought
in the CCAA Proceedings, Nortel requested entitlement to pay the directors their compensation in cash on a current basis, notwithstanding any outstanding elections, during the period in which the directors continue as directors in the CCAA
Proceedings. On the Petition Date, the Canadian Court granted an order providing that Nortels directors are entitled to receive remuneration in cash on a current basis at current compensation levels less an overall $25 thousand reduction
notwithstanding the terms of, or elections made under, the Deferred Share Compensation Plans.

Workforce Reductions; Employee Compensation Program
Changes

On February 25, 2009, Nortel announced a workforce reduction plan. Under this plan, Nortel intends to reduce its
global workforce by approximately 5,000 net positions. Nortel has commenced and will continue to implement these reductions, in accordance with local country legal requirements. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, Nortel undertook
additional workforce reduction activities. Given the Creditor Protection Proceedings, Nortel has discontinued all remaining activities under its previously announced restructuring plans as of the Petition Date. For further information, refer to
notes 9 and 10. In addition, Nortel expects to take further, ongoing workforce and other cost reduction actions as it works through the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

Nortel also announced on February 25, 2009 several changes to its employee compensation programs. Upon the recommendation of management, its Board of Directors approved no payment of bonuses under the Nortel
Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) for 2008. Nortel is continuing its AIP in 2009 for all eligible full- and part-time employees. The plan has been modified to permit quarterly rather than annual award determinations and payouts, if any. This will provide
a more immediate incentive for employees upon the achievement of critical shorter-term corporate performance objectives, including specific operational metrics in support of customer service levels, as we work through the Creditor Protection
Proceedings. Where required, Nortel has obtained court approvals for retention and incentive compensation plans for certain key eligible employees deemed essential to the business during the Creditor Protection Proceedings and Nortel has since
implemented such plans. See Key Executive Incentive Plan and Key Employee Retention Plan in the Executive and Director Compensation section of Nortels 2008 Annual Report for further information with respect to its key employee
incentive and retention programs for employees in North America, CALA and Asia. On March 20, 2009, Nortel obtained Canadian Court approval to terminate the Nortel Networks Corporation Change in Control Plan. For further information on this
plan, see CIC Plan in the Executive and Director Compensation section of Nortels 2008 Annual Report.

On
February 27, 2009, Nortel obtained Canadian Court approval to terminate its equity-based compensation plans (the Nortel 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, As Amended and Restated (2005 SIP), the Nortel Networks Corporation 1986 Stock Option
Plan, As Amended and Restated (1986 Plan) and the Nortel Networks Corporation 2000 Stock Option Plan (2000 Plan)) and certain equity plans assumed in prior acquisitions, including all outstanding equity under these plans (stock options,
stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted

stock units (RSUs) and performance stock units (PSUs)), whether vested or unvested. Nortel sought this approval given the decreased
value of Nortel Networks common shares (NNC common shares) and the administrative and associated costs of maintaining the plans to Nortel as well as the plan participants. See note 20, Share-based compensation plans, to
the audited financial statements that accompany Nortels 2008 Annual Report and note 18 in this report, for additional information about Nortels share-based compensation plans.

Condensed Combined Debtors Financial Statements

The financial statements contained within this note have been prepared in accordance with the guidance of SOP 90-7 and represent the unaudited condensed combined financial statements for the Debtors excluding NNC and its subsidiaries other
than NNL and its subsidiaries (the NNL Debtors). Such statements include separate columnar presentations for the Canadian Debtors and U.S. Debtors both of which exclude NNC and its subsidiaries other than NNL and its subsidiaries, and
EMEA Debtors to provide information that may be useful to the users of these financial statements. For the purposes of the condensed combined debtor financial statements and other disclosures contained below, the columnar presentation for the EMEA
Debtors includes the Israeli Debtors. In addition, such presentation facilitates the combined presentation of the deconsolidated EMEA Debtors. Non-Debtor subsidiaries and affiliates are treated as non-consolidated affiliates in these financial
statements and as such their net income (loss) is included as Equity income (loss) from non-Debtor subsidiaries, net of tax in the statement of operations and their net assets are included as Investments in non-Debtor
subsidiaries in the balance sheet.

Included in the accompanying NNL Debtors financial statements is the EMEA Debtors
balance sheet as of June 30, 2009, and statement of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. The EMEA Debtors have been deconsolidated as of the Petition Date. See note 1 for further disclosure about the
deconsolidation and combination of the EMEA Debtors accounts.

Intercompany Transactions

Intercompany transactions and balances amongst the NNL Debtors are included in each of the individual NNL Debtors balance sheet, income statement
and cash flow columns and have been eliminated in combination. At June 30, 2009, the Canadian NNL Debtors have a negative investment in the EMEA Debtors underlying net liabilities, which are recorded at their carrying values as it was not
determinable that such carrying value differs materially from the estimated fair value. This negative investment account has been eliminated in combination. Intercompany transactions and balances with Nortels non-Debtor subsidiaries and
affiliates have not been eliminated in the NNL Debtors financial statements.

Guarantees

Included in the accompanying Canadian Debtors financial statement columns is an accrual of approximately $647 representing Nortels best
estimate of the probable claim for the guarantee of the EMEA Debtors unfunded pension liability (Pension Guarantee). Nortel has irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed Nortel Networks UK Limiteds punctual performance under
the U.K. Defined Benefit Pension Plan funding agreement. Although some guarantee exposures are redundant to liabilities elsewhere in the Debtors financial statements, Nortel has recorded this accrual in accordance with SOP 90-7.

In addition, an accrual of $3,935 has been made in the U.S. Debtors financial statement columns for NNIs guarantee of the NNC and NNL outstanding
long-term debt arrangements. NNI has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the NNC and NNL issuances of the July 2006 Notes, the Convertible Notes and the 2016 Fixed Rate Notes issued May 2008 (each as defined in note 22). In addition, Nortel has
recognized $150 arising from a guarantee of long-term debt of NNCC. Collectively, these guarantees are the Debt Guarantees. Although some guarantee exposures are redundant to liabilities recorded elsewhere in the Debtors financial
statements, Nortel has recorded this accrual in accordance with SOP 90-7.



17



---

##### Table of Contents

The Pension Guarantee and Debt Guarantees have been recorded as liabilities subject to compromise and
reorganization expenses in the respective financial statement columns and have been eliminated on combination except for $1,155 representing NNIs guarantee of the Convertible Notes issued by NNC. To the extent that information available in the
future indicates a difference from the recognized amounts, the provision will be adjusted.

Contractual Interest Expense on Outstanding
Long-Term Debt

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, Nortel has continued to accrue for interest expense of $64 and
$129, respectively, in its normal course of operations related to debt issued by Nortel in Canada based on the expectation that it will be a permitted claim under the Creditor Protection Proceedings. However, in accordance with SOP 90-7, interest
expense in the U.S. incurred post-Petition Date is not recognized, as a result interest payable on debt issued by the U.S. Debtors, including NNI, has not been accrued in the accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial
statements. During the pendency of the Creditor Protection Proceedings Nortel generally has not and does not expect to make payments to satisfy the interest obligations of the Debtors.

Foreign Currency Denominated LiabilitiesCanada

SOP 90-7 requires pre-petition liabilities of the Debtors that are subject to compromise to be reported at the claim amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. For
foreign currency denominated liabilities, the CCAA requires allowable claims to be denominated at the exchange rate in effect as of the Petition Date unless otherwise provided by a court-approved plan. A court-approved plan would be subject to
creditor approval prior to the Canadian Courts approval. Given the impact that fixing exchange rates may have on the amounts ultimately settled, the Nortel believes there is uncertainty as to whether a plan which fixes the applicable exchange
rate at the Petition Date would be approved. Accordingly, in Canada, foreign currency denominated balances, including Nortels U.S. dollar denominated debt, will not be accounted for using the Petition Date exchange but rather will continue to
be accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation.

Cash
Restrictions

The movement of cash to and from each of the Debtors is permitted for transactions conducted in the normal course, but is
restricted for other purposes such as intercompany cash advances and loans, except where such intercompany advances and loans are permitted by the U.S. Court and Canadian Court and/or the U.K. Administrators.

3. Accounting changes

(a) Noncontrolling Interests

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial StatementsAn Amendment of ARB 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the treatment of noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary. Noncontrolling interests in
a subsidiary will be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements and any retained noncontrolling equity investment upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary is initially measured at fair value. SFAS 160 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Nortel adopted the provisions of SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 160 has resulted in the retrospective reclassification of noncontrolling interests (formerly
referred to as minority interests) to shareholders deficit and related changes to the presentation of noncontrolling interests in the condensed combined and consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2009,
the adoption of SFAS 160 did not impact the calculation of noncontrolling interests. These changes in measurement and presentation have not impacted the calculation of earnings (loss) per share.

(b) Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 establishes a
single definition of fair value, a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Nortel partially adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008. The effective date for
SFAS 157 as it relates to fair value measurements for non-financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis was deferred to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 in accordance with FSP FAS
157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP FAS 157-2). Nortel adopted the deferred portion of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of the deferred portion of SFAS 157 did not have a material
impact on Nortels results of operations and financial condition.

(c) Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension
and Other Postretirement PlansAn Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)

Effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2008, SFAS 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158), requires Nortel to measure the funded status of its plans as of the
date of its year end statement of financial position, being December 31. Nortel had historically measured the funded status of its significant plans on September 30. SFAS 158 provided two approaches for an employer to transition to a
fiscal year end measurement date. Nortel adopted the second approach, whereby Nortel continues to use the measurements determined for the December 31, 2007 fiscal year end reporting to estimate the effects of the transition. Under this
approach, the net periodic benefit cost for the period between the earlier measurement date, being September 30, 2007 and the end of the fiscal year that the measurement date provisions are applied, being December 31, 2008 (exclusive of
any curtailment or settlement gain or loss), are allocated proportionately between amounts to be recognized as an adjustment to opening accumulated deficit in 2008 and the net periodic benefit cost for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
The adoption resulted in an increase in accumulated deficit of $33, net of taxes, and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $5, net of taxes, as of January 1, 2008.

For additional information on Nortels pension and post-retirement plans, see note 12.

(d) Derivative instruments disclosure

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities  An Amendment of FASB Statement 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires expanded and enhanced
disclosure for derivative instruments, including those used in hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Nortel adopted the provisions of SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009.
Nortel has provided the additional information required by SFAS 161 in note 14.

(e) Useful life of intangible assets

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP FAS
142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 provides guidance with respect to estimating the useful lives of recognized intangible assets and requires additional disclosure related to the renewal or extension of the terms of recognized intangible assets. FSP FAS
142-3 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Nortel adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 142-3 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 did not have a material impact on Nortels
results of operations, financial condition and disclosures.

(f) Collaborative arrangements

In September 2007, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-1, Collaborative
Arrangements (EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1 addresses the accounting for arrangements in which two companies work together to achieve a common commercial objective, without forming a separate

legal entity. The nature and purpose of a companys collaborative arrangements are required to be disclosed, along with the accounting policies applied
and the classification and amounts for significant financial activities related to the arrangements. Nortel adopted the provisions of EITF 07-1 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of EITF 07-1 did not have a material impact on Nortels
results of operations and financial condition.

(g) Determining whether an instrument is indexed to its own stock

In June 2008, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an
Entitys Own Stock (EITF 07-5). EITF 07-5 addresses the determination of whether an equity linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) that has all of the characteristics of a derivative under other authoritative U.S.
GAAP accounting literature is indexed to an entitys own stock and would thus meet the first part of a scope exception from classification and recognition as a derivative instrument. Nortel adopted the provisions of EITF 07-5 on January 1,
2009. The adoption of EITF 07-5 did not have a material impact on Nortels results of operations and financial condition.

(h) Determining Fair Value when the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly

In April 2009, FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value when the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly
Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly (FSP FAS 157-4). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance on determining fair value for a financial asset when the volume or level of activity for that asset or
liability has significantly decreased and also assists in identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to
allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. Nortel adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 157-4 on
June 30, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a material impact on Nortels results of operations and financial condition.

(i) Recognition and Presentation of Other Than Temporary Impairments

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2
and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other Than Temporary Impairments (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 provide guidance on determining whether the holder of an investment in a debt or equity security
for which changes in fair value are not regularly recognized in earnings (such as securities classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale) should recognize a loss in earnings when the investment is impaired. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is
effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Nortel adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 on June 30, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 did not have a material impact on
Nortels results of operations and financial condition.

(j) Subsequent Events

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 requires management to evaluate subsequent
events through the date the financial statements are either issued or available to be issued, depending on the companys expectation of whether it will widely distribute its financial statements to its shareholders and other financial statement
users. Companies are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. Nortel adopted the provisions of SFAS 165 on
June 30, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on Nortels results of operations and financial condition.

Condensed combined and consolidated balance sheets

Short-term investments:

Short-term
investments as of June 30, 2009 consisted of an investment having an original cost of $362 in the Reserve Primary Fund (Fund), a money market fund investment that was originally classified as cash and cash equivalents. Due to
financial market conditions during the third quarter of 2008, which resulted in the suspension of trading in the Funds securities, an impairment of $11 was recorded during 2008 to reflect the decline in the net asset and deemed fair value of
the Fund. Further, the Fund made redemptions on October 31, 2008, December 3, 2008, February 20, 2009 and April 17, 2009 of $184, $102, $24 and $16, respectively.

On February 26, 2009, the Fund announced it would set aside $3,500, or 5.28 cents per share, in a special reserve that may be used to satisfy
anticipated cost and expenses of the Fund, including legal and accounting fees, pending or threatened claims against the Fund, its officers and trustees, and claims for indemnification and other claims that could be made against the Funds
assets. Fund distributions will be made pro rata from the Primary Funds assets up to 91.72 cents per share unless the board of trustees determines to increase the special reserve. Nortels pro rata share of the remainder of the announced
per share distribution of 91.72 cents is $6. As of June 30, 2009, Nortel has classified $6 of its investments in short-term investments and the remainder of $19 as long-term investments, as it is unable to assess the timing or amount of
distributions which may be made from the special reserve.

Investments:

Investments included, in part, $69 and $73 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, related to long-term investment assets held in an employee benefit trust in Canada, and restricted as to
their use in operations by Nortel. In addition, Nortel classified its initial investment in auction rate securities as available-for-sale in current assets. In October 2008, Nortel entered into an agreement with the investment firm that sold Nortel
all of its auction rate securities earlier in 2008 and as a result Nortel transferred these auction rate securities from available-for-sale to held-for-trading classification. Nortel currently holds $18 in auction rate securities, which have been
recorded as $18 of trading securities as current assets as of June 30, 2009. See note 14 for more information.

Goodwill Impairment Testing Policy

Nortel tests goodwill for possible impairment on an annual basis as of
October 1 of each year and at any other time if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

Circumstances that could trigger an impairment test between annual tests include, but are not limited to:



| |  |  | a significant adverse change in the business climate or legal factors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | unanticipated competition;
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | loss of key personnel;
| | - |  | ----------------------



| |  |  | the likelihood that a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or disposed of;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a change in reportable segments;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | results of testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | recognition of a goodwill impairment loss in the financial statements of a subsidiary that is a component of a reporting unit.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The impairment test for goodwill is a two-step process. Step one consists of a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount,
including the goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Nortel determines the fair value of its reporting units using an income approach; specifically, based on a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Model. A market approach may also be used to
evaluate the reasonableness of the fair value determined under the DCF Model, but results of the market approach are not given any specific weighting in the

final determination of fair value. Both approaches involve significant management judgment and as a result, estimates of value determined under the
approaches are subject to change in relation to evolving market conditions and Nortels business environment.

If the carrying amount
of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, step two of the goodwill impairment test requires the fair value of the reporting unit be allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities of that reporting unit, whether or not previously recognized,
resulting in the determination of an implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded in net earnings (loss).

The fair value of each reporting unit is determined using discounted cash flows. When circumstances warrant, a multiple of earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of each reporting unit is calculated and compared to market participants to corroborate the results of the calculated fair value (EBITDA Multiple Model). The following
are the significant assumptions involved in the application of each valuation approach:



| |  |  | DCF Model: assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, gross margin percentages, projected working capital needs, SG&A expense, R&D expense,
capital expenditures, discount rates, terminal growth rates, and estimated selling price of assets expected to be disposed of by sale. To determine fair value, Nortel discounts the expected cash flows of each reporting unit. The discount rate used
represents the estimated weighted average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk involved in its reporting unit operations and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn. To estimate cash flows beyond the
final year of its model, Nortel uses a terminal value approach. Under this approach, Nortel uses the estimated cash flows in the final year of its models and applies a perpetuity growth assumption and discount by a perpetuity discount factor to
determine the terminal value. Nortel incorporates the present value of the resulting terminal value into its estimate of fair value. When strategic plans call for the sale of all or an important part of a reporting unit, Nortel estimates proceeds
from the expected sale using external information, such as third party bids, adjusted to reflect current circumstances, including market conditions.

At March 31, 2009, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), Nortel concluded that events had occurred and circumstances
had changed that required it to perform an interim period goodwill impairment test for the reporting unit in its Other segment, Nortel Government Solutions (NGS). Given the nature of the business operations and the decline in the
economic outlook, management decided to place significant weighting on the results of the DCF model in establishing the fair value of this reporting unit. The decision was based on a lack of direct comparable companies. The results from step one of
the two-step goodwill impairment test indicated that the estimated fair value of NGS was less than the carrying value of its net assets and as such Nortel performed step two of the impairment test for this reporting unit.

In step two of the impairment test, Nortel was required to measure the potential impairment loss by allocating the estimated fair value of the reporting
unit, as determined in step one, to the reporting units recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities, with the residual amount representing the implied fair value of goodwill and, to the extent the implied fair value of goodwill was less
than the carrying value, an impairment loss was recognized. As such, the step two test required Nortel to perform a theoretical purchase price allocation for NGS to determine the implied fair value of goodwill as of the evaluation date. In
accordance with the guidance in SFAS 142, Nortel completed a preliminary assessment of the expected impact of the step two tests using reasonable estimates for the theoretical purchase price allocation and recorded a preliminary goodwill impairment
charge of approximately $48. Nortel finalized the goodwill assessment during the second quarter of 2009 and as a result recorded no additional goodwill impairment charge.

During the second quarter of 2009, Nortel tested its long-lived asset groups (inclusive of NGS) for
recoverability in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144). The testing of a significant asset group within the NGS reporting unit for recoverability
constituted a triggering event under SFAS 142 requiring an impairment test for goodwill. Nortel concluded that the existence and evaluation of this triggering event did not result in the recognition of additional goodwill impairment in the period
because assumptions in respect of the NGS reporting unit have not changed materially since March 31, 2009.

No goodwill impairment
losses were recorded during the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2008.

Related Analyses

Nortel performed a recoverability test of its long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144. Similar to the prior quarter, Nortel included cash
flow projections from operations along with cash flows associated with the eventual disposition of specific asset groupings, where appropriate. No impairment charges were recorded as a result of this interim period testing.

7. Assets and liabilities held for sale

On
June 19, 2009, NNC, Nortel and certain of Nortels other subsidiaries, including NNI, entered into a stalking horse asset sale agreement with NSN for the sale of substantially all of Nortels CDMA business and LTE Access assets for
$650. See note 2 for further information. As a result, assets and liabilities of $248 and $333, respectively, have been classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2009. Also included in assets held for sale is vacant land with a carrying value
of $14 as of June 30, 2009 that was being actively marketed for sale. Nortel recorded a charge of approximately $12 related to this vacant land as a result of recognizing assets held for sale at the lower of carrying amount or estimated fair
value less costs to sell. The long lived assets are primarily related to the Carrier Networks segment.

The following table sets forth
assets and liabilities held for sale:

8. Segment information

Segment descriptions

As of June 30, 2009, Nortels four reportable segments were: Carrier
Networks (CN), ES, Metro Ethernet Networks (MEN) and LGN:



| |  |  | The CN segment provides wireline and wireless networks and related services that help service providers and cable operators supply mobile voice, data and multimedia
communications services for individuals and enterprises using cellular telephones, personal digital assistants, laptops, soft-clients, and other wireless computing and communications devices. CN also offers circuit- and packet-based voice switching
products that provide local, toll, long distance and international gateway capabilities for local and long distance telephone companies, wireless service providers, cable operators and other service providers.

Effective January 1, 2009, Nortel decentralized several corporate functions and transitioned to a vertically
integrated business unit structure. Enterprise customers are served by a business unit responsible for product and portfolio development, R&D, marketing and sales, partner and channel management, strategic business development and associated
functions. Service provider customers are served by two business units with full responsibility for all product, services, applications, portfolio, business and market development, marketing and R&D functions: CN and MEN.

Nortels Global Services business unit, formerly a reportable business segment, has been decentralized and transitioned to the other reportable
segments as of the first quarter of 2009. In addition, commencing with the first quarter of 2009, Nortel began reporting LGN as a separate reportable segment. Prior to that time, the results of LGN were reported across all Nortels reportable
segments. Also commencing with the first quarter of 2009, services results are reported across all reportable segments (CN, ES, MEN and LGN). Comparative periods have been recast to conform to the current segment presentation.

Commencing with the third quarter of 2009 Nortel will begin to report its Carrier VoIP and Application Solutions (CVAS) business unit as a
separate reportable segment. Prior to that time, the results of CVAS were included in the CN reportable segment.

Other miscellaneous
business activities and corporate functions, including the operating results of NGS, do not meet the quantitative criteria to be disclosed separately as reportable segments and have been reported in Other. Costs associated with shared
services, such as general corporate functions, that are managed on a common basis are allocated to Nortels reportable segments based on usage determined generally by headcount.

##### Table of Contents

A portion of other general and miscellaneous corporate costs and expenses are allocated based on a fixed charge established annually. Costs not allocated to
the reportable segments include employee share-based compensation, differences between actual and budgeted employee benefit costs, interest attributable to Nortels long-term debt and other non-operational activities, and are included in
Other.

Nortels President and CEO has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker in assessing the performance
of and allocating resources to Nortels operating segments. The primary financial measure used by the CEO is Management Operating Margin (Management OM). Management OM, presented on a combined or consolidated basis, is not a
recognized measure under U.S. GAAP. It is a measure defined as total revenues, less total cost of revenues, SG&A and R&D expense. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those applied to the combined and
consolidated financial statements. The CEO does not review asset information on a segmented basis in order to assess performance and allocate resources.

As disclosed in notes 9, 10 and 17, cost reduction activities and costs related to the termination of
certain equity-based compensation plans, aggregating $101 and $247, respectively, are included in Management OM for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

Nortel had one customer, Verizon Communications Inc., that generated revenues of approximately 18% and 15% of total combined and consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009,
respectively. Although, these revenues were generated primarily within the CN segment, they were also from the ES and MEN segments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, Nortel had one customer, Verizon Communications Inc., that
generated revenues of approximately 10% and 11%, respectively, of total consolidated revenues.

9. Pre-Petition Date cost reduction plans

As a result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings, Nortel ceased taking any further actions under the previously announced workforce
and cost reduction plans as of January 14, 2009. Any revisions to actions taken up to that date under previously announced workforce and cost reduction plans will continue to be accounted for under such plans, and be classified in cost of
revenues, selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A), and R&D as applicable. Any remaining actions under these plans will be accounted for under the workforce reduction plan announced on February 25, 2009 (see note
10). Nortels contractual obligations are subject to re-evaluation in connection with the Creditor Protection Proceedings and, as a result, expected cash outlays disclosed below relating to contract settlement and lease costs are subject to
change. As well, Nortel is not following its pre-Petition Date practices with respect to the payment of severance in jurisdictions under the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

On November 10, 2008, Nortel announced a restructuring plan that included net workforce reductions of approximately 1,300 positions and shifting
approximately 200 additional positions from higher-cost to lower-cost locations (collectively November 2008 Restructuring Plan). Nortel expected total charges to earnings and cash outlays related to those workforce reductions to be
approximately $130. Approximately $58 of the total charges relating to the net reduction of 550 positions under the November 2008 Restructuring Plan were incurred as of December 31, 2008. There were no significant workforce reductions under
this plan after December 31, 2008 and prior to its discontinuance on January 14, 2009.

During the first quarter of 2008, Nortel
announced a restructuring plan that included net workforce reductions of approximately 2,100 positions and shifting approximately 1,000 additional positions from higher-cost to lower-cost locations. In addition to the workforce reductions, Nortel
announced steps to achieve additional cost savings by efficiently managing its various business locations and further consolidating real estate requirements (collectively, 2008 Restructuring Plan). Nortel expected total charges to
earnings and cash outlays related to workforce reductions to be approximately $205 and expected total charges to earnings related to the consolidation of real estate to be approximately $60, including approximately $15 related to fixed asset
write-downs. Approximately $148 of the total charges relating to the net reduction of approximately 1,500 positions and real estate reduction initiatives under the 2008 Restructuring Plan were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2008.
There were no significant workforce reductions under this plan after December 31, 2008 and prior to its discontinuance on January 14, 2009. The real estate provision of $12 as of June 30, 2009 relates to discounted cash outlays, net
of estimated future sublease revenues, for leases with payment terms through to 2013.

During the first quarter of 2007, Nortel announced a
restructuring plan that included workforce reductions of approximately 2,900 positions and shifting approximately 1,000 additional positions from higher-cost locations to lower-cost locations. In addition to the workforce reductions, Nortel
announced steps to achieve additional cost savings by efficiently managing its various business locations and consolidating real estate requirements (collectively, 2007 Restructuring Plan). Nortel originally expected charges to earnings
and cash outlays for the 2007 Restructuring Plan to be approximately $390 and $370, respectively. Approximately $243 of the total charges relating to the net reduction of approximately 2,150 positions and real estate reduction initiatives under the
2007 Restructuring Plan have been incurred as of December 31, 2008. There were no

significant workforce reductions under this plan after December 31, 2008 and prior to its discontinuance on January 14, 2009. The real estate
provision of $13 as of June 30, 2009 relates to discounted cash outlays net of estimated future sublease revenues for leases with payment terms through to 2016.

During 2006, 2004 and 2001, Nortel implemented work plans to streamline operations through workforce reductions and real estate optimization strategies (2006 Restructuring Plan, 2004 Restructuring
Plan and 2001 Restructuring Plan). All of the charges with respect to these workforce reductions have been incurred. The real estate provision of $140 in the aggregate as of June 30, 2009 relates to discounted cash outlays net
of estimated future sublease revenues, for leases with payment terms through to 2022 for the 2004 Restructuring Plan and through to 2022 for the 2001 Restructuring Plan.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, changes to the provision were as follows:

##### Table of Contents

A significant portion of Nortels provisions for workforce reductions and contract settlement and
lease costs is associated with shared services. These costs have been allocated to the segments in the table above, based generally on headcount, SG&A allocations and revenue streams. Previously, Nortel allocated these costs only based on
headcount and revenue streams. Charges related to these plans in 2008 were recorded in special charges and were not included in the calculation of Management OM, while any revisions to provisions after this date will be recorded in operations and
are included in the calculation of Management OM.

10. Post-Petition Date cost reduction activities

In connection with the Creditor Protection Proceedings, Nortel has commenced certain workforce and other cost reduction activities and will undertake
further workforce and cost reduction activities during this process. The actions related to these activities are expected to occur as they are identified. The following current estimated charges are based upon accruals made in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. The current estimated total charges and cash outlays are subject to change as a result of Nortels ongoing review of applicable law. In addition, the current estimated total charges to earnings and cash outlays do not reflect all
potential claims or contingency amounts that may be allowed under the Creditor Protection Proceedings and thus are also subject to change.

Workforce
Reduction Activities

On February 25, 2009, Nortel announced a workforce reduction plan with expected total charges to earnings
of approximately $270 and total cash outlays upon terminations of approximately $160. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, additional workforce reduction strategies were implemented with expected total charges to earnings of
approximately $150, and total cash outlays upon terminations of $80. The charges and cash outlays are expected to be incurred in 2009. Approximately $178 of the total charges relating to the net workforce reduction of 6,000 positions have been
incurred as of June 30, 2009.

Three and six months ended June 30, 2009

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, Nortel recorded charges of $104 and $178, respectively, associated with a workforce reduction of
approximately 3,050 and 6,000 employees, respectively, of which approximately 2,175 and 4,550 were notified of termination or voluntarily separated during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The workforce reduction was
primarily in the U.S. and Canada and extended across all of Nortels segments, with the majority of the reductions occurring in the ES and CN business segments.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009 changes to the provision balances were as follows:

During the six months ended June 30, 2008,
Nortel recorded a tax expense of $98 on loss from operations before income taxes and equity in net earnings (loss) of associated companies of $20. The tax expense of $98 was comprised of $100 of income taxes on profitable entities in Asia and Europe
including a valuation allowance release of $6 in Germany based on earnings, $8 of income taxes resulting from revisions to prior year tax estimates and other taxes of $13, primarily related to taxes on preferred share dividends in Canada. This tax
expense was partially offset by a $19 benefit derived from various tax credits and R&D-related incentives, and an approximately $4 benefit resulting from decreases in uncertain tax positions.

As of June 30, 2009, Nortels net deferred tax assets were $12. During the third and fourth quarters of 2008, the expanding global economic
downturn dramatically worsened, and in January 2009, the Debtors commenced the Creditor Protection Proceedings. In assessing the need for valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets for the year ended December 31, 2008, Nortel
considered the negative effect of these events on Nortels revised modeled forecasts and the resulting increased uncertainty inherent in these forecasts. Nortel determined that there was significant negative evidence against and insufficient
positive evidence to support a conclusion that Nortels net deferred tax assets were more likely than not to be realized in future tax years in all tax jurisdictions other

than Korea and Turkey. These factors continue to support Nortels conclusion that as at June 30, 2009 a full valuation allowance continues to be
necessary against Nortels tax deferred asset in all jurisdictions other than Korea and Turkey. Nortels net deferred tax asset was reduced from $32 as of December 31, 2008 to $12 as at June 30, 2009 primarily as a result of the
effects of foreign exchange translation and changes in deferred tax assets resulting from operations in the ordinary course of business in Korea and Turkey.

In Canada, the Federal and Ontario governments signed a Memorandum of Agreement that provides for the federal administration of Ontario corporate income tax by the Canada Revenue Agency. To achieve this Ontario
harmonization, Ontario will adopt the Federal definition of taxable income and Federal tax attributes will replace Ontario tax attributes resulting in a transitional debit or credit. As a result of the harmonization, there are no transitional taxes
payable. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company reduced its Ontario tax attributes and recorded a transitional credit of approximately $189 which is fully offset by a valuation allowance. The transitional tax credit can be applied to reduce
Ontario taxes payable over a five year period commencing with the first tax year ending in 2009.

Nortel had approximately $998 and $1,255
of total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009 respectively. As of June 30, 2009, of the total gross unrecognized tax benefits, $82 represented the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would
favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods, if recognized. The net increase of $257 since December 31, 2008 resulted from an increase of $6 for new uncertain tax positions arising in 2009, an increase of $226 arising from
uncertain tax positions taken during prior periods, $31 relating to the impact for foreign exchange, offset by a decrease of $6 resulting from the settlement and expiry of existing uncertain tax positions.

Nortel recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Nortel had approximately $46 and $59 accrued
for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, Nortel recognized approximately $13 in interest, penalties and foreign exchange.

Nortel believes it is reasonably possible that $903 of its gross unrecognized tax benefit will decrease during the twelve months ending June 30,
2010 with such amount attributable to possible decreases of $781 in the aggregate from the potential resolution of Nortels ongoing Advance Pricing Arrangements (APA) negotiations, $59 from including unrecognized tax benefits on
amended income tax returns, and $63 from the potential settlement of audit exposures. If achieved, it is anticipated that $22 of these potential decreases in unrecognized tax benefits would impact Nortels effective tax rate.

Nortel is subject to tax examinations in all major taxing jurisdictions in which it operates and currently has examinations open in Canada, the U.S.,
France, Australia, Germany and Brazil. In addition, Nortel has ongoing audits in other smaller jurisdictions including, but not limited to, Italy, Poland, Colombia and India. Nortels 2000 through 2008 tax years remain open in most of these
jurisdictions primarily as a result of the ongoing APA negotiations.

Nortel regularly assesses the status of tax examinations and the
potential for adverse outcomes to determine the adequacy of the provision for income and other taxes. Specifically, the tax authorities in Brazil have completed an examination of prior taxation years and have issued assessments in the aggregate
amount of $78, excluding interest and penalties, for the 1999 and 2000 taxation years. Nortel is currently in the process of appealing these assessments and believe that Nortel has adequately provided for tax adjustments that are more likely than
not to be realized as a result of the outcome of this ongoing appeals process. In addition, the tax authorities in France issued assessments in respect of the 2001, 2002 and 2003 taxation years. These France assessments collectively propose
adjustments to increase taxable income by approximately $1,185, additional income tax liabilities of $47 inclusive of interest, as well as certain increases to withholding and other taxes of approximately $95 plus applicable interest and penalties.
Nortel withdrew from discussions at the tax auditor level during the first quarter of 2007 and has entered into Mutual Agreement Procedures with the competent

authority under the Canada-France tax treaty to settle the dispute and to avoid double taxation. Nortel believes that it has adequately provided for the tax
adjustments that are more likely than not to be realized as a result of these ongoing examinations.

Nortel had previously entered into
APAs with the U.S. and Canadian taxation authorities in connection with its intercompany transfer pricing and cost sharing arrangements between Canada and the U.S. These arrangements expired in 1999 and 2000. In 2002, Nortel filed APA requests with
the taxation authorities in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. that applied to the 2001 through 2005 taxation years (2001-2005 APA). The 2001- 2005 APA requests are currently under consideration and the tax authorities are in the process of
negotiating the terms of the arrangement. In September 2008, the Canadian tax authorities provided the U.S. tax authorities with a supplemental position paper regarding the 2001-2005 APA under negotiation. The supplemental position paper suggests a
material reallocation of losses from the U.S. to Canada. Nortel received verbal communication from the U.S. taxing authority in December 2008 stating that a tentative agreement on the 2001-2005 APA had been reached between the U.S. and Canadian
taxing authorities. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, Nortel received further details from the US and Canadian tax authorities concerning the tentative settlement of the 2001-2005 APA. The agreement between the tax authorities
mandates a reallocation of losses from NNI to Nortel in the amount of $2,000 for the tax years ending 2001 to 2005. The agreement makes no mention of an appropriate transfer pricing method for the 2001-2005 period. Nortel believes that the method
proposed in the 2001-2005 APA application is the most appropriate for that period and has reflected that position in its FIN 48 evaluation for the other parties to the transfer pricing methodology. Nortel has not yet received the terms of the
agreement in writing nor accepted it. Once received, Nortel will evaluate its implications to the company. Nortel has reflected this reallocation of losses as the more likely than not tax position under FIN 48 and during the three months ended
June 30, 2009 NNI recorded tax expense due to alternative minimum taxes in the amount of $11. Nortel continues to apply the transfer pricing methodology proposed in the 2001-2005 APA requests to the other parties subject to the transfer pricing
methodology in preparing its tax returns and its accounts for its 2001 to 2005 taxation years. The other parties are the U.K., France, Ireland and Australia.

During 2007 and 2008, Nortel requested new bilateral APAs for tax years 2007 through at least 2010 (2007-2010 APA), for Canada, the U.S. and France, with a request for rollback to 2006 in the U.S. and
Canada, following methods generally similar to those under negotiation for 2001 through 2005. During the three months ended June 30, 2009 the Canadian tax authority requested that Nortel rescind its 2007-2010 application as a result of the
uncertain commercial environment.

Although we continue to apply the transfer pricing methodology that was requested in the 2007-2010 APA,
the ultimate outcome is uncertain and the ultimate reallocation of losses cannot be determined at this time. There could be a further material shift in historical earnings between the above mentioned parties, particularly the U.S. and Canada. If
these matters are resolved unfavorably, they could have a material effect on Nortels consolidated financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009 the U.S. Debtors, Canadian Debtors and EMEA Debtors entered into the IFSA, see note 2, that constitutes a full and final settlement of certain 2009 TPA Payment
obligations arising from post-petition services and expenses. As a result of this agreement, NNI will pay Nortel $157, subject to certain conditions and adjustments, which together with one $30 payment previously made by NNI to Nortel reflects the
maximum claim that Canada may assert in connection with TPA Payments for the period from the Petition Date through September 30, 2009. Similarly, except for two shortfall payments totaling $20, the IFSA provides for a full and final settlement
of any and all TPA Payments owing between certain EMEA entities and the U.S. and Canada for the period from the Petition Date through December 31, 2009. Nortel has used the IFSA as a basis to allocate intercompany profits from the Petition Date
through June 30, 2009.

12. Employee benefit plans

Nortel maintains various retirement programs covering substantially all of its employees, consisting of defined benefit, defined contribution and investment plans.

##### Table of Contents

Nortel has multiple capital accumulation and retirement programs, including: a defined contribution and
investment programs available to substantially all of its North American employees; a flexible benefits plan, which includes a group personal pension plan, available to substantially all of its employees in the U.K.; and traditional defined benefit
programs that are closed to new entrants. Although these programs represent Nortels major retirement programs and may be available to employees in combination and/or as options within a program, Nortel also has smaller pension plan
arrangements in other countries.

Nortel also provides other benefits, including post-retirement benefits and post-employment benefits.
Employees previously enrolled in the capital accumulation and retirement programs offering post-retirement benefits are eligible for company sponsored post-retirement health care and/or death benefits, depending on age and/or years of service.
Substantially all other employees have access to post-retirement benefits by purchasing a Nortel-sponsored retiree health care plan at their own cost.

On January 14, 2009, as a result of the U.K. Administration Proceedings, the U.K. defined benefit pension plan entered the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) assessment process and all further service cost
accruals and contributions ceased. Employees who were currently enrolled in the U.K. defined benefit pension plan were given the option of participating in the U.K. defined contribution scheme. As a result of these changes Nortel remeasured the
pension obligations related to the U.K. defined benefit pension plan on January 14, 2009, and recorded the impacts of this remeasurement in the first quarter of 2009 in accordance with SFAS No. 88, Employers Accounting for
Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits (SFAS 88). The ceasing of service cost accruals resulted in a curtailment gain of approximately $22. As a result of this remeasurement,
Nortel changed its U.K. discount rate, a key assumption used in estimating pension costs. However, this did not result in a change to the weighted average discount rate of 6.4% for all the pension plans as of December 31, 2008. In addition as a
result of the remeasurement, Nortel was required to adjust the liability for impacts from the curtailment gain, changes in assumptions, and asset losses at the re-measurement date. The effect of this adjustment and the related foreign currency
translation adjustment was to increase pension liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive loss (before tax) by $107. This adjustment had no earnings impact. As discussed in note 2, contributions to the U.K. defined benefit pension plan have
been guaranteed by Nortel.

The PPF assessment process can take up to two years, or longer, and will result in the PPF deciding whether it
needs to take on the U.K. defined benefit pension plans or whether there are sufficient assets to secure equivalent or greater than PPF benefits through a buy out with an insurance company. If the PPF decides it needs to take on the U.K.
defined benefit pension plan, the expected claim amount will be significantly more than the carrying amount of the liability.

Wind up of
the Ireland defined benefit plan commenced as of April 30, 2009. Employees who were then enrolled in the Ireland defined benefit pension plan were given the option of participating in the Ireland defined contribution scheme. As a result of
these changes, Nortel remeasured the pension obligations related to the Ireland defined benefit pension plan on April 30, 2009, and recorded the impacts of this remeasurement in the second quarter of 2009 in accordance with SFAS 88. The ceasing
of service cost accruals resulted in a curtailment gain of approximately $5, of which $0.3 impacted earnings. As a result of this remeasurement, Nortel changed its Ireland discount rate, a key assumption used in estimating pension costs. However,
this did not result in a change to the weighted average discount rate of 6.4% used for all pension plans as of December 31, 2008. In addition as a result of the remeasurement, Nortel was required to adjust the liability for impacts from the
curtailment gain, changes in assumptions, and asset losses at the re-measurement date. The effect of this adjustment and the related foreign currency translation adjustment was to decrease pension liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive loss
(before tax) by $7.

As a result of workforce reductions in connection with the Creditor Protection Proceedings and the stalking horse sale
agreement for CMDA and LTE Access, Nortel remeasured the post-retirement benefit obligations for the U.S. and Canada and recorded the impacts of these remeasurements in the second quarter of 2009 in

accordance with SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions (Accounting for a Plan Curtailment)
(SFAS 106). Curtailment gains of $9 and $4 were recorded to earnings in the U.S. and Canada, respectively. As a result of these remeasurements, Nortel changed its post-retirement discount rate, a key assumption used in estimating
post-retirement benefit costs, for the U.S. and Canada. This resulted in a change in the weighted average post-retirement discount rate to 6.7% from 6.9% at December 31, 2008. In addition as a result of the remeasurement, Nortel was required to
adjust the liability for impacts from the curtailment gain and changes in assumptions at the re-measurement date. For the U.S, the effect of this adjustment was to decrease post-retirement liabilities by $15 and accumulated other comprehensive loss
(before tax) by $6. For Canada, the effect of this adjustment and the related foreign currency translation adjustment was to increase post-retirement liabilities by $19 and accumulated other comprehensive loss (before tax) by $23.

On July 17, 2009, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) issued a Notice of Determination that the Nortel Networks Retirement
Income Plan, a U.S. defined benefit pension plan, should be terminated under the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act of 1974 (ERISA). On the same date, the PBGC filed a complaint in the Middle District of Tennessee against NNI and
the Retirement Plan Committee of the Nortel Networks Retirement Income Plan seeking to proceed with termination of the pension plan, though this complaint was not served against us. NNI is working to voluntarily assign trusteeship of the plan to the
PBGC and avoid further court involvement in the termination process. The PBGC is proceeding to have the plan terminated and be appointed as the Retirement Income Plans trustees. At the time that the PBGC becomes trustee, it will become a
creditor of Nortel and the claim amount is expected to be significantly more than the carrying amount of the liability.

Under ERISA, PBGC
may have the ability to impose certain claims and liens on NNI and certain NNI subsidiaries and affiliates (including liens on assets of certain Nortel entities not subject to the Creditor Protection Proceedings). In order to proceed with the sale
of substantially all of Nortels CDMA business and LTE Access assets to Ericsson (which includes assets of certain non-Debtor subsidiaries), the Debtors and the PBGC have agreed and stipulated that PBGC shall receive $250 thousand in cash, from
the proceeds of such sale and the PBGC shall consent to the sale of the non-Debtor assets and waive its rights to assert any lien or claim with respect to the Pension Plan against the sellers, the non-Debtors or the purchaser.

Nortels policy is to fund defined benefit pension and other post-retirement and post-employment benefits based on accepted actuarial methods as
permitted by regulatory authorities. The funded amounts reflect actuarial assumptions regarding compensation, interest and other projections. Pension and other post-retirement and post-employment benefit costs reflected in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations are based on the projected benefit method of valuation. A measurement date of September 30 has historically been used annually to determine pension and other post-retirement benefit measurements for the pension plans
and other post- retirement benefit plans that make up the majority of plan assets and obligations. Beginning in 2008, a measurement date of December 31 will be used for all plans in accordance with the guidance in SFAS 158. Under the
transition approach selected by Nortel, the measurements determined for the 2007 fiscal year end reporting were used to estimate the effects of the change. Net periodic benefit cost for the period between the 2007 measurement date and the end of
2008 were allocated proportionately between amounts to be recognized as an adjustment of retained earnings and net periodic benefit cost for 2008. This adoption has had the effect of increasing accumulated deficit by $33, net of taxes, and
increasing accumulated other comprehensive income by $5, net of taxes, as of January 1, 2008.

respectively, were made to the defined benefit plans and $19 and $22, respectively, to the post-retirement benefit plans. Nortel expects to contribute an additional $22 in 2009 to the defined benefit pension plans for a total contribution of $78,
and an additional $22 in 2009 to the post-retirement benefit plans for a total contribution of $41.

13. Guarantees

Nortels requirement to make payments (either in cash, financial instruments, other assets, NNC common shares or through the provision of services)
to a third party will be triggered as a result of changes in an underlying economic characteristic (such as interest rates or market value) that is related to an asset, a liability or an equity security of the guaranteed party or a third
partys failure to perform under a specified agreement.

|(a) | Includes guarantees in connection with agreements for the sale of all or portions of an investment or a Nortel business, including certain discontinued operations and guarantees
related to the escrow of shares as part of business combinations in prior periods. Nortel has indemnified the purchaser of an investment or a Nortel business in the event that a third party asserts a claim against the purchaser that relates to a
liability retained by Nortel relating to business events occurring prior to the sale, such as tax, environmental, litigation and employment matters. In certain agreements, Nortel also indemnifies counterparties for losses incurred from litigation
that may be suffered by counterparties arising under guarantees related to the escrow of shares in business combinations. Some of these types of guarantees have indefinite terms while others have specific terms extending to no later than 2012. As of
June 30, 2009, Nortel has not made any payments to settle such obligations and does not expect to do so in the future. However, an immaterial amount has been accrued for these guarantees, based on the probability of payout and expected payout,
if required.

|(b) | In conjunction with the sale of a subsidiary to a third party, Nortel guaranteed to the purchaser that specified annual sales volume levels would be achieved by the business sold
over a ten-year period ended December 31, 2007. Nortels guarantee to the purchaser was governed by the laws of the purchasers jurisdiction. As such, the purchaser has the right to claim such payments under the volume guarantee until
January 31, 2018, under the statute of limitations of such jurisdiction. As of June 30, 2009, Nortel has not made any payments to settle such obligations and does not expect to do so in the future.

|(c) | Nortel has periodically entered into agreements with customers and suppliers that include intellectual property indemnification obligations that are customary in the industry. These
agreements generally require Nortel to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of third party intellectual property obligations arising from these transactions. These types of guarantees typically have
indefinite terms; however, under some agreements, Nortel has provided specific terms extending to February 2011. As of June 30, 2009, Nortel has not made any payments to settle such obligations and does not expect to do so in the future.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(d) | Nortel has entered into agreements with its lessors to guarantee the lease payments of certain assignees of its facilities. Generally, these lease agreements relate to facilities
Nortel vacated prior to the end of the term of its lease. These lease agreements require Nortel to make lease payments throughout the lease term if the assignee fails to make scheduled payments. Most of these lease agreements also require Nortel to
pay for facility restoration costs at the end of the lease term if the assignee fails to do so. These lease agreements have expiration dates through June 2015. As of June 30, 2009, Nortel has not made any payments to settle such obligations and
does not expect to do so in the future. However, an immaterial amount has been accrued for this liability, based on the probability of payout and expected pay-out, if required.

|(e) | Nortel has agreed to indemnify certain of its counterparties in certain receivables securitization transactions. Certain receivables securitization transactions include
indemnifications requiring the repurchase of the receivables, under certain conditions, if the receivable is not paid by the obligor. The indemnification provisions generally expire upon the earlier of either expiration of the securitization
agreements, which extended through 2009, or collection of the receivable amounts by the purchaser. As of June 30, 2009, Nortel has not made any payments to settle such obligations and does not expect to do so in the future. However, an
immaterial amount has been accrued for this liability, based on the probability of payout and expected pay-out, if required.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(f) | Nortel has also agreed to indemnify EDC under the EDC Support Facility against any legal action brought against EDC that relates to the provision of support under the EDC Support
Facility. As described further in note 2, Nortels continued access to the EDC Support Facility has been limited. As of June 30, 2009, there was approximately $105 of outstanding support utilized under the EDC Support Facility. As of
June 30, 2009, Nortel has not made any payments to settle such obligations and does not expect to do so during the pendency of the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

|(g) | Nortel has identified specified price trade-in rights in certain customer arrangements that qualify as guarantees. These types of guarantees generally apply over a specified period
of time and extend through to June 2010. As of June 30, 2009, Nortel has not made any payments to settle such obligations and does not expect to do so in the future. However, an immaterial amount has been accrued for this liability, based on
the probability of payout and expected pay-out, if required.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(h) | On June 27, 2007, Nortel entered into a sale lease-back agreement where it agreed to provide an indemnity to the purchaser with respect to union and employee termination
matters. The sale agreement requires Nortel to compensate the purchaser for any costs in the event that Nortel fails to effectively satisfy termination obligations to union employees; if a reinstatement application is brought by the union or
non-union employees; or if the purchaser is required to re-hire selected union employees. The indemnification provision expires upon the retirement of the last former employee. The nature of the indemnification prevents Nortel from making a
reasonable estimate of the maximum term of the indemnification. As of June 30, 2009, Nortel has not made any payments to settle such obligations and does not expect to do so in the future. However, an immaterial amount has been accrued for this
liability, based on the probability of payout and expected pay-out, if required.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(i) | On February 14, 2008, NNI entered into an agreement whereby it indemnified the landlord of a property against certain obligations that the sub-tenant may assert against the
landlord. The nature of the indemnification prevents Nortel from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum term of the indemnification. As of June 30, 2009, Nortel has not made any payments to settle such obligations and does not expect to do
so in the future.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(j) | On February 28, 2008, Nortel entered into a guarantee agreement in which it agreed to repay to the bankruptcy estate of a certain debtor, any interim dividends paid from the
bankruptcy estate that Nortel is not entitled to in the event that a creditor steps forward with a claim that requires a re-distribution of funds between the creditors. The nature of the indemnification prevents Nortel from making a reasonable
estimate of the maximum term of the indemnification. As of June 30, 2009, Nortel has not made any payments to settle such obligations and does not expect to do so in the future. However, an immaterial amount has been accrued for this liability,
based on the probability of payout and expected pay-out, if required.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(k) | The nature of some guarantees and indemnification arrangements generally prevents Nortel from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to
pay under such agreements. For this reason, no amount has been included in the disclosure in these circumstances.

14. Fair Value

Nortel adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 applicable to financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and to certain non-financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value
on a recurring basis, effective January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. SFAS 157, among other things, requires
Nortel to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Fair value hierarchy

SFAS 157 provides a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or
unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect Nortels assumptions with respect to how market participants would price an asset or liability. These two inputs used to
measure fair value fall into the following three different levels of the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical
instruments in active markets that are observable.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for
identical or similar instruments in markets that are non-active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

Determination of fair value

The following
section describes the valuation methodologies used by Nortel to measure different instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each instrument is classified. Where applicable, the descriptions
include the key inputs and significant assumptions used in the valuation models.

Investments

When available, Nortel uses quoted market prices to determine fair value of certain exchange-traded equity securities; such items are classified in Level
1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Certain investments are valued using the Black-Scholes Merton option-pricing model. Key inputs include the
exchange-traded price of the security, exercise price, shares issuable, risk free rate, forecasted dividends and volatility. Such items are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

##### Table of Contents

Nortel has an investment in the Fund, which, prior to the suspension of trading activities of the
Funds shares, was classified as cash and cash equivalents. The portion of this investment which has not been distributed back to Nortel is currently classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See note 5 for more information.

In October 2008, Nortel entered into an agreement (Agreement) with the investment firm that sold Nortel all of its
auction rate securities, which have a par value of $18 at June 30, 2009. By entering into the Agreement, Nortel (1) received the right (Put Option) to sell these auction rate securities back to the investment firm at par,
at its sole discretion, anytime during the period from June 30, 2010 through July 2, 2012, and (2) gave the investment firm the right to purchase these auction rate securities or sell them on Nortels behalf at par anytime after
the execution of the Agreement through July 2, 2012. Nortel elected to measure the Put Option under the fair value option of SFAS 159, and recorded pre-tax income of approximately $3 in 2008, and a corresponding long term investment.
Simultaneously, Nortel transferred these auction rate securities from available-for-sale to trading investment securities. As a result of this transfer, Nortel recognized pre-tax impairment loss of approximately $3 in 2008. Nortel anticipates that
any future changes in the fair value of the Put Option will be offset by the changes in the fair value of the related auction rate securities with no material net impact to the results of operations. The Put Option will continue to be measured at
fair value utilizing Level 3 inputs until the earlier of its maturity or exercise. The fair value has not changed significantly as of June 30, 2009.

Derivatives

All outstanding derivatives at December 31, 2008 were terminated in the quarter
ended March 31, 2009 and Nortel has no outstanding derivatives at June 30, 2009. In connection with the terminations, Nortel recognized loss of $5 on interest rate swaps and a loss of $5 on foreign exchange contracts in the six months
ended June 30, 2009.

Long-term debt

Nortels publicly traded debt instruments are valued using quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Market Valuation Adjustments

The
fair value of derivatives and other financial liabilities must include the effects of Nortels and the counterpartys non-performance risk, including credit risk. Nortel has incorporated its own and its counterpartys credit risk into
the determination of fair value of its derivatives, where applicable. See note 15 for more information.

The following table presents for
each of the fair value hierarchy levels, the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009:



|                                               |  |            |     |         |   |         |  |         |   |  |   |

15. Commitments

Bid, performance-related and other bonds

Nortel has entered into bid, performance-related and
other bonds associated with various contracts. Bid bonds generally have a term of less than twelve months, depending on the length of the bid period for the applicable contract. Other bonds primarily relate to warranty, rental, real estate and
customs contracts. Performance-related and other bonds generally have a term consistent with the term of the underlying contract. The various contracts to which these bonds apply generally have terms ranging from one to five years. Any potential
payments which might become due under these bonds would be related to Nortels non-performance under the applicable contract. Historically, Nortel has not made material payments under these types of bonds and as a result of the Creditor
Protection Proceedings and does not anticipate that it will be required to make such payments during the pendency of the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

The following table sets forth the maximum potential amount of future payments under bid, performance-related and other bonds, net of the corresponding restricted cash and cash equivalents, as of:

Venture capital financing

Nortel has entered into agreements with selected venture capital firms where the venture capital firms make and manage investments in start-up businesses and emerging enterprises. The agreements require Nortel to fund requests for
additional capital up to its commitments when and if requests for additional capital are solicited by any of the venture capital firms. Nortel had remaining commitments, if requested, of $15 as of June 30, 2009. These commitments expire at
various dates through to 2017.

Concentrations of risk

Nortel has from time to time, used derivatives to limit exposures related to foreign currency, interest rate and equity price risk. Nortel does not enter
into derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. As at December 31, 2008, Nortel had entered into forward contracts to manage certain foreign exchange cash flows,

which contracts were not designated as hedges in accordance with SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging (SFAS 133), and
interest rate swaps to manage our debt instruments fair value risk, which were designated and accounted for as fair value hedges under SFAS 133. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009 all derivatives were terminated.

Nortel limits its credit risk by dealing with counterparties that are considered to be of reputable credit quality. Nortels cash and cash
equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions in the form of short-term money market instruments, the balances of which, at times, may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be
redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions with reputable credit and therefore are expected to bear minimal credit risk. Nortel seeks to mitigate such risks by spreading its risk across multiple counterparties and monitoring
the risk profiles of these counterparties.

Nortel performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, with the exception of certain
financing transactions, does not require collateral from its customers. Nortels customers are primarily in the enterprise and telecommunication service provider markets. Nortels global market presence has resulted in a large number of
diverse customers which reduces concentrations of credit risk.

Nortel receives certain of its components from sole suppliers.
Additionally, Nortel relies on a limited number of contract manufacturers and suppliers to provide manufacturing services for its products. The inability of a contract manufacturer or supplier to fulfill supply requirements of Nortel could
materially impact future operating results.

|(a) | Certain securities deemed available-for-sale by Nortel were measured at fair value. Unrealized holding losses related to these securities were excluded from net loss and are
included in accumulated other comprehensive loss until realized. Unrealized loss on investments was net of tax of nil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

17. Share-based compensation plans

On
February 27, 2009, Nortel obtained Canadian Court approval to terminate its equity-based compensation plans (2005 SIP, 1986 Plan and 2000 Plan) and certain equity-based compensation plans assumed in prior acquisitions, including all outstanding
equity under these plans (stock options, SARs, RSUs and PSUs), whether vested or unvested. Nortel sought this approval given the decreased value of NNC common shares and the administrative and associated costs of maintaining the plans to itself as
well as the plan participants. As a result of the cancellation of the plans, $91 of the remaining unrecognized compensation cost for unvested awards has been recognized as compensation cost in the first six months of 2009, in addition to expense of
$10 attributable to share-based compensation cost incurred in the normal course.

The following denotes activity under the plans from
December 31, 2008 through February 27, 2009, the date of termination of the plans.

|Risk-free interest rate |  | 1.64                         | %

No PSU-rTSRs were granted in the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Cash received from exercise under all share-based payment arrangements was nil for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Tax benefits
realized by Nortel related to these exercises were nil for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

18. Liabilities subject to compromise

As described in note 2, as a result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings, pre-petition liabilities may be subject to compromise or other
treatment and generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment of pre-petition liabilities are stayed. Although pre-petition claims are generally stayed, under the Creditor Protection Proceedings, the Debtors are permitted to undertake
certain actions designed to stabilize the Debtors operations including, among other things, payment of employee wages and benefits, maintenance of Nortels cash management system, satisfaction of customer obligations, payments to
suppliers for goods and services received after the Petition Date and retention of professionals.

SOP 90-7 requires pre-petition
liabilities of the debtor that are subject to compromise to be reported at the claim amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. The amounts currently classified as liabilities subject to compromise may be subject
to future adjustments depending on actions of the applicable courts, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determinations of the secured status of certain claims, if any, the values of any collateral securing such claims, or other
events.

On June 3, 2008 Nortel entered into a revolving loan agreement with NNC in the amount of
$827. The loan to NNC has a 2 year term and an interest rate of 11.25% and can be terminated by either party with 5 days notice causing repayment. Any principal and interest outstanding is payable at the end of the loan period. As at June 30,
2008, the outstanding loan receivable balance was $675. In September 2008, the majority of Nortels receivable from NNC, including the above mentioned loan, was reclassified as long-term as NNC does not intend to settle the amount within a
year.

As at June 30, 2009, Nortel undertook an assessment of the collectability of its trade and notes receivable due from NNC and
its subsidiaries. This involved a review of internal information regarding the Creditor Protection Proceedings and its implications on the carrying value of the receivables. The assessment resulted in the recognition of a provision totaling $1,912
against such receivables (December 31, 2008 - $1,836).

20. Contingencies

Creditor Protection Proceedings

Generally, as a result of the Creditor Protection
Proceedings, all actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment or repayment of liabilities of any Debtor preceding the Petition Date, as well as pending litigation against any Debtor, are stayed as of the Petition Date. Absent further order of the
applicable courts and subject to certain exceptions, no party may take any action to recover on pre-petition claims against any Debtor.

Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation Complaint

On July 17, 2009, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) provided
a notice to NNI that the PBGC had determined under ERISA that: (i) the Nortel Networks Retirement Income Plan (the Pension Plan), a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by NNI, will be unable to pay benefits when due;
(ii) under Section 4042(c) of ERISA, the Pension Plan must be terminated in order to protect the interests of participants and to avoid any unreasonable increase in the liability of the PBGC insurance fund; and (iii) July 17,
2009 was to be established as the date of termination of the Pension Plan. On the same date, the PBGC filed a complaint in the Middle District of Tennessee against NNI and the Retirement Plan Committee of the Nortel Networks Retirement Income Plan
seeking to proceed with termination of the Pension Plan though this was not served against us. NNI is working to voluntarily assign trusteeship of the Pension Plan to the PBGC and avoid further court involvement in the termination process.

Securities Class Action Claim against CEO and CFO

On May 18, 2009, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging violations of federal securities law between the period of May 2, 2008 through
September 17, 2008, against Mike Zafirovski (Nortels President and CEO) and Pavi Binning (Nortels Chief Financial Officer Chief Restructuring Officer). Although Nortel is not a named defendant, this lawsuit has been stayed as a
result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

U.S. Federal Grand Jury Subpoenas

In May 2004 and August 2005, Nortel received federal grand jury subpoenas for the production of certain documents in connection with a criminal
investigation being conducted by the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. Nortel understands that this investigation of NNI and certain former employees has been concluded, and it has been advised
that no criminal charges will be filed in the U.S. in connection with this matter.

ERISA Lawsuit

Beginning in December 2001, Nortel, together with certain of its then-current and former directors, officers and employees, were named as a defendant in
several purported class action lawsuits pursuant to ERISA. These lawsuits have been consolidated into a single proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. This lawsuit is on behalf of participants and
beneficiaries of the Nortel Long-Term Investment Plan, who held shares of the Nortel Networks Stock Fund during the class period, which has yet to be determined by the court. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, material misrepresentations and
omissions to induce participants and beneficiaries to continue to invest in and maintain investments in NNC common shares through the investment plan. The court has not yet ruled as to whether the plaintiffs proposed class action should be
certified. As a result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings, this lawsuit has been stayed.

Canadian Pension Class Action

On June 24, 2008, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against NNC and Nortel in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ottawa, Canada
alleging, among other things, that certain recent changes related to Nortels pension plan did not comply with the Pension Benefits Act (Ontario) or common law notification requirements. The plaintiffs seek declaratory and equitable
relief, and unspecified monetary damages. As a result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings, this lawsuit has been stayed.

Nortel Statement of
Claim Against its Former Officers

In January 2005, NNC and Nortel filed a Statement of Claim in the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice against Messrs. Frank Dunn, Douglas Beatty and Michael Gollogly, Nortels former senior officers who were terminated for cause in April 2004, seeking the return of payments made to them under Nortels bonus plan in 2003.
One-half of any recovery from this litigation is subject to the Global Class Action Settlement referenced in note 22 of the 2008 Annual Report.

Former Officers Statements of Claims Against Nortel

In April 2006, Mr. Dunn filed a Notice of Action and
Statement of Claim in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against NNC and Nortel asserting claims for wrongful dismissal, defamation and mental distress, and seeking punitive, exemplary and aggravated damages, out-of-pocket expenses and special
damages, indemnity for legal expenses incurred as a result of civil and administrative proceedings brought against him by reason of his having been an officer or director of the defendants, pre-judgment interest and costs. Mr. Dunn has further
brought an application before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against NNC and Nortel seeking an order that, pursuant to its by-laws, Nortel reimburse him for all past and future defense costs he has incurred as a result of proceedings
commenced against him by reason of his being or having been a director or officer of Nortel.

In May and October 2006, respectively,
Messrs. Gollogly and Beatty filed Statements of Claim in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against NNC and Nortel asserting claims for, among other things, wrongful dismissal and seeking compensatory, aggravated and punitive damages, and
pre-and post-judgment interest and costs. As a result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings, this lawsuit has been stayed.

##### Table of Contents

Except as otherwise described herein, in each of the matters described above, the plaintiffs are seeking
an unspecified amount of monetary damages. Nortel is unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact to Nortel of the above matters, which, unless otherwise specified, seek damages from the defendants of
material or indeterminate amounts or could result in fines and penalties. Nortel cannot determine whether these actions, suits, claims and proceedings will, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on its business, results of
operations, financial condition or liquidity. Except as otherwise described herein, Nortel intends to defend the above actions, suits, claims and proceedings in which it is a defendant, litigating or settling cases where in managements
judgment it would be in the best interest of shareholders to do so. Nortel will continue to cooperate fully with all authorities in connection with the regulatory and criminal investigations.

Nortel is also a defendant in various other suits, claims, proceedings and investigations that arise in the normal course of business.

Environmental matters

Nortels business
is subject to a wide range of continuously evolving environmental laws in various jurisdictions. Nortel seeks to operate its business in compliance with these changing laws and regularly evaluates their impact on operations, products and facilities.
Existing and new laws may cause Nortel to incur additional costs. In some cases, environmental laws affect Nortels ability to import or export certain products to or from, or produce or sell certain products in, some jurisdictions, or have
caused it to redesign products to avoid use of regulated substances. Although costs relating to environmental compliance have not had a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity to date, there
can be no assurance that such costs will not have a material adverse effect going forward. Nortel continues to evolve compliance plans and risk mitigation strategies relating to the new laws and requirements. Nortel intends to design and manufacture
products that are compliant with all applicable legislation and meet its quality and reliability requirements.

Nortel has a corporate
environmental management system standard and an environmental program to promote such compliance. Moreover, Nortel has a risk-based, integrated environment, health and safety audit program. Nortels environmental program focuses its activities
on design for the environment, supply chain and packaging reduction issues. Nortel works with its suppliers and other external groups to encourage the sharing of non-proprietary information on environmental research.

Nortel is exposed to liabilities and compliance costs arising from its past generation, management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes. As of
June 30, 2009, the accruals on the consolidated balance sheet for environmental matters were $11. Based on information available as of June 30, 2009, management believes that the existing accruals are sufficient to satisfy probable and
reasonably estimable environmental liabilities related to known environmental matters. Any additional liabilities that may result from these matters, and any additional liabilities that may result in connection with other locations currently under
investigation, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity of Nortel.

Nortel has remedial activities under way at 10 sites that are either currently or previously owned. An estimate of Nortels anticipated remediation costs associated with all such sites, to the extent probable and
reasonably estimable, is included in the environmental accruals referred to above in an approximate amount of $11.

Nortel is also listed
as a potentially responsible party under the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) at three Superfund sites in the U.S. At two of the Superfund sites, Nortel is considered ade
minimis potentially responsible party. Ade minimis potentially responsible party is generally considered to have contributed less than 1% (depending on the circumstances) of the total hazardous waste at a Superfund site. An estimate of
Nortels share of the anticipated remediation costs associated with such Superfund sites is included in the environmental accruals of $11 referred to above.

##### Table of Contents

Liability under CERCLA may be imposed on a joint and several basis, without regard to the extent of
Nortels involvement. In addition, the accuracy of Nortels estimate of environmental liability is affected by several uncertainties such as additional requirements which may be identified in connection with remedial activities, the
complexity and evolution of environmental laws and regulations, and the identification of presently unknown remediation requirements. Consequently, Nortels liability could be greater than its current estimate.

Supplemental condensed consolidating financial information

On July 5, 2006, under an Indenture of the same date (the July

Regulation S under the Securities Act. The July 2006 Notes consist of the 2016 Fixed Rate Notes issued July 2006, $550 of senior fixed rate notes due 2013 (the 2013 Fixed Rate Notes) and $1,000 of floating rate senior notes due 2011
(the 2011 Floating Rate Notes). The 2016 Fixed Rate Notes issued July 2006 bear interest at a rate per annum of 10.75% payable semi-annually, the 2013 Fixed Rate Notes bear interest at a rate per annum of 10.125%, payable semi-annually,
and the 2011 Floating Rate Notes bear interest at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the reserve-adjusted LIBOR plus 4.25%, payable quarterly. The July 2006 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Nortel and initially guaranteed
by NNI.

On May 28, 2008, Nortel completed an offering of $675 of additional notes under the July 2006 Indenture, the 2016 Fixed Rate
Notes issued May 2008, to repay a portion of the 4.25% Notes due 2008 issued by NNC in 2001. The 2016 Fixed Rate Notes issued May 2008 bear interest at a rate per annum of 10.75% payable semi-annually, and are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by NNC and initially guaranteed by NNI.

On March 28, 2007, NNC completed an offering of $1,150 aggregate principal amount
of unsecured convertible senior notes (the Convertible Notes) to repay a portion of the 4.25% Notes due 2008 issued by NNC in 2001. The offering was made to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, and in Canada to qualified institutional buyers that are also accredited investors pursuant to applicable Canadian private placement exemptions. The Convertible Notes consist of $575 principal amount of Senior Convertible Notes due
2012 (the 2012 Notes) and $575 of Senior Convertible Notes due 2014 (the 2014 Notes). In each case, the principal amount of Convertible Notes includes $75 issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the over-allotment options
granted to the initial purchasers. The 2012 Notes pay interest semi-annually at a rate per annum of 1.75% and the 2014 Notes pay interest semi-annually at a rate per annum of 2.125%. The Convertible Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by
Nortel and initially guaranteed by NNI.

The following supplemental condensed combining and consolidating financial data has been prepared
in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and illustrates, in separate columns, the composition of Nortel, NNI as the Guarantor Subsidiary of the July 2006 Notes, the Convertible Notes, and the 2016 Fixed Rate
Notes issued May 2008, the subsidiaries of Nortel that are not issuers or guarantors of the July 2006 Notes, the Convertible Notes and the 2016 Fixed Rate Notes issued May 2008 (Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries), eliminations and combined
total as of June 30, 2009, the combined and consolidated total as of December 31, 2008 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of the supplemental condensed combining and consolidating financial
data. Net earnings (loss) of subsidiaries are therefore reflected in the investment account and net earnings (loss). The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. The financial

The following Managements Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is intended to help the
reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Nortel Networks Limited (Nortel). The MD&A should be read in combination with our unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements and the accompanying
notes. All Dollar amounts in this MD&A are in millions of United States (U.S.) Dollars except per share amounts or unless otherwise stated.

Certain statements in this MD&A contain words such as could, expect, may, anticipate, believe, intend, estimate,
plan, envision, seek and other similar language and are considered forward-looking statements or information under applicable securities laws. These statements are based on our current expectations, estimates,
forecasts and projections about the operating environment, economies and markets in which we operate which we believe are reasonable but which are subject to important assumptions, risks and uncertainties and may prove to be inaccurate.
Consequently, our actual results could differ materially from our expectations set out in this MD&A. In particular, see the Risk Factors section of this report and elsewhere herein as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2008 (2008 Annual Report) and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 (2009 First Quarter Report) for factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from
those contemplated in forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. We are the principal direct operating subsidiary of Nortel Networks Corporation (NNC). NNC holds all of our outstanding common shares but none of our outstanding preferred shares.

Where we say we, us, our, Nortel or the Company, we mean Nortel Networks Limited or Nortel
Networks Limited and its subsidiaries, as applicable. Where we say NNL, we mean Nortel Networks Limited. Where we refer to the industry, we mean the telecommunications industry.

Executive Overview

Creditor Protection Proceedings

We operate in a highly volatile telecommunications industry that is characterized by vigorous competition for market share and rapid technological
development. In recent years, our operating costs have generally

exceeded our revenues, resulting in negative cash flow. A number of factors have contributed to these results, including competitive pressures in the
telecommunications industry, an inability to sufficiently reduce operating expenses, costs related to ongoing restructuring efforts described below, significant customer and competitor consolidation, customers cutting back on capital expenditures
and deferring new investments, and the poor state of the global economy.

In recent years, we have taken a wide range of steps to attempt
to address these issues, including a series of restructurings that have reduced the number of worldwide employees from more than 90,000 in 2000 to approximately 30,000 (including employees in joint ventures) as of December 31, 2008. In
particular, in 2005, under the direction of new management, we began to develop a Business Transformation Plan with the goal of addressing our most significant operational challenges, simplifying the organizational structure and maintaining a strong
focus on revenue generation and improved operating margins including quality improvements and cost reductions. These actions have included: (i) the outsourcing of nearly all manufacturing and production to a number of key suppliers, including,
in particular, Flextronics, (ii) the substantial consolidation of key research and development (R&D) expertise in Canada and China, (iii) decisions to dispose of or exit certain non-core businesses, such as our Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System (UMTS) Access business unit, (iv) the creation and/or expansion of joint venture relationships, such as LG-Nortel Co. Ltd. (LGN) in Korea, our joint venture with LG Electronics, Inc. (LGE) and our joint venture in
China, Guangdong-Nortel Telecommunications Equipment Company Ltd., (v) establishing alliances with various large organizations such as Microsoft, IBM and Dell, (vi) real estate optimizations, including the sale of our former headquarters
in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, and (vii) the continued reorientation of our business from a traditional supplier of telecommunications equipment to a focus on cutting-edge networking hardware and software solutions. These restructuring measures,
however, did not provide adequate relief from the significant pressures we were experiencing. As global economic conditions dramatically worsened beginning in September 2008, we experienced significant pressure on our business and faced a
deterioration of our cash and liquidity, globally as well as on a regional basis, as customers across all businesses suspended, delayed and reduced their capital expenditures. The extreme volatility in the financial, foreign exchange, equity and
credit markets globally and the expanding economic downturn and potentially prolonged recessionary period compounded the situation.

In
addition, we made significant cash payments related to our restructuring programs, the Global Class Action Settlement (as defined in the Legal Proceedings section of our 2008 Annual Report), debt servicing costs and pension plans over the past
several years. Due to the adverse conditions in the financial markets globally, the value of the assets held in our pension plans has declined significantly resulting in significant increases to pension plan liabilities that could have resulted in a
significant increase in future pension plan contributions. It became increasingly clear that the struggle to reduce operating costs during a time of decreased customer spending and massive global economic uncertainty was putting substantial pressure
on our liquidity position globally, particularly in North America.

Market conditions further restricted our ability to access capital
markets, which was compounded by actions taken by rating agencies with respect to our credit ratings. In December 2008, Moodys Investor Service, Inc. (Moodys) issued a downgrade of the Nortel family rating from B3 to Caa2. With no access
to the capital markets, limited prospects of the capital markets opening up in the near term, substantial interest carrying costs on over $4,000 of unsecured public debt, and significant pension plan liabilities expected to increase in a very
substantial manner principally due to the adverse conditions in the financial markets globally, it became imperative for us to protect our cash position.

On January 14, 2009 (Petition Date), after extensive consideration of all other alternatives, with the unanimous authorization of our Board of Directors after thorough consultation with our advisors, we
initiated creditor protection proceedings under the respective restructuring regimes of Canada, under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) (CCAA Proceedings), the U.S. under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Chapter 11)
(Chapter 11 Proceedings), the United Kingdom (U.K.) under the Insolvency Act 1986 (U.K. Administration Proceedings), and subsequently, Israel (Israeli Administration Proceedings). More recently, on

May 28, 2009, one of our French subsidiaries, Nortel Networks SA (NNSA) was placed into secondary proceedings (French Administration Proceedings).
On July 14, 2009, Nortel Networks (CALA) Inc. (NNCI), a U.S. based subsidiary with operations in the Caribbean and Latin America (CALA) region, also filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware (U.S. Court) and became a party to the Chapter 11 Proceedings. Our affiliates based in Asia, including LGN, in the CALA region and the Nortel Government Solutions (NGS) business, are not included in these proceedings. We
initiated the Creditor Protection Proceedings (as defined below) with a consolidated cash balance, as at December 31, 2008, of approximately $2,400, in order to preserve our liquidity and fund operations during the process.

At this point in the Creditor Protection Proceedings, we are focused on maximizing value for our stakeholders. On June 19, 2009, we announced that
we were advancing in discussions with external parties to sell our businesses. On June 19, 2009, we also announced a stalking horse asset sale agreement with Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. (NSN) for the sale of substantially all of our Code
Division Multiple Access (CDMA) business and Long Term Evolution (LTE) Access assets. On July 24, 2009, in accordance with court approved procedures, we concluded a successful auction for these assets and executed a formal asset sale agreement
for the sale of substantially all of our CDMA business and LTE Access assets with Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Ericsson), who emerged as the successful bidder with a purchase price of $1,130 subject to purchase price adjustments under certain
circumstances. On July 20, 2009, we announced stalking horse and other sale agreements with Avaya Inc. (Avaya) for the planned sale of substantially all of the assets of the Enterprise Solutions (ES) business globally, including the shares of
NGS and DiamondWare, Ltd., for a purchase price of $475, subject to an auction process and certain purchase price adjustments. We continue to advance in our discussions with external parties to sell our other businesses. To provide maximum
flexibility, we have also taken appropriate steps to complete the move to organizational standalone businesses. We will assess other restructuring alternatives for these businesses in the event we are unable to maximize value through sales.

On August 10, 2009, we announced that we were at a natural transition point resulting in a number of leadership changes and a new
organizational structure designed to work towards the completion of the sales of our businesses and other restructuring activities. Effective August 10, 2009, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mike Zafirovski will step down. Also
effective August 10, 2009, the Boards of Directors of Nortel and NNC will reduce from nine to three members: John A. MacNaughton, Jalynn H. Bennett and David Richardson, with Mr. Richardson serving as Chairperson. These individuals will
also serve as members of Nortels and NNCs audit committees.

In connection with these changes we will be seeking Canadian Court
approval for the Canadian Monitor, to take on an enhanced role with respect to the oversight of the business, sales processes and other restructuring activities under the CCAA Proceedings (as defined below). Further, we are in the process of
identifying a principal officer for the U.S. Debtors who will work in conjunction with the U.S. Creditors Committee (as defined below), Bondholder Group (as defined below), and the Canadian Monitor, which appointment will be subject to the
approval of the U.S. Court (as defined below).

We are also establishing a streamlined structure that will enable us to effectively
continue to serve our customers, and also facilitate the sales of our businesses and integration processes with acquiring companies as well as continue with our restructuring activities. Nortels business units will report to the Chief
Restructuring Officer (CRO), Pavi Binning. Our mergers and acquisitions teams will continue their work under the Chief Strategy Officer, George Riedel. Nortel Business Services (NBS) will continue to be led by Joe Flanagan and continue to serve the
transitional operations needs of our businesses as they are sold to ensure customer and network service levels are maintained throughout the sale and integration processes. A core Corporate Group is being established that will be primarily
responsible for the management of ongoing restructuring activities during the sales process as well as post business dispositions. This group will be lead by John Doolittle, formerly our Treasurer. These leaders will report to the Nortel and NNC
Boards of Directors, the Canadian Monitor (as defined below) and the proposed U.S. principal officer.

Debtors as used herein means: (i) us, together with NNC and certain other Canadian
subsidiaries (collectively, Canadian Debtors) that filed for creditor protection pursuant to the provisions of the CCAA in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Canadian Court); (ii) Nortel Networks Inc. (NNI), Nortel Networks Capital
Corporation (NNCC), NNCI and certain other U.S. subsidiaries (U.S. Debtors) that have filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Court; (iii) certain Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) subsidiaries
(EMEA Debtors) that made consequential filings under the Insolvency Act 1986 in the English High Court of Justice (English Court); and (iv) certain Israeli subsidiaries that made consequential filings under the Israeli Companies Law 1999 in the
District Court of Tel Aviv. The CCAA Proceedings, Chapter 11 Proceedings, U.K. Administration Proceedings, Israeli Administration Proceedings and French Administration Proceedings are together referred to as the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

CCAA Proceedings

On the
Petition Date, the Canadian Debtors obtained an initial order from the Canadian Court for creditor protection for 30 days, pursuant to the provisions of the CCAA, which has since been extended to October 30, 2009 and is subject to further
extension by the Canadian Court. There is no guarantee that the Canadian Debtors will be able to obtain court orders or approvals with respect to motions the Canadian Debtors may file from time to time to extend further the applicable stays of
actions and proceedings against them. Pursuant to the initial order, the Canadian Debtors received approval to continue to undertake various actions in the normal course in order to maintain stable and continuing operations during the CCAA
Proceedings.

Under the terms of the initial order, Ernst & Young Inc. was named as the court-appointed monitor under the CCAA
Proceedings (Canadian Monitor). The Canadian Monitor has reported and will continue to report to the Canadian Court from time to time on the Canadian Debtors financial and operational position and any other matters that may be relevant to the
CCAA Proceedings. In addition, the Canadian Monitor may advise and, to the extent required, assist the Canadian Debtors on matters relating to the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

As a consequence of the CCAA Proceedings, generally, all actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment or repayment of liabilities of any Canadian
Debtor preceding the Petition Date and substantially all pending claims and litigation against the Canadian Debtors and their officers and directors have been stayed until October 30, 2009, or such further date as may be ordered by the Canadian
Court. In addition, the CCAA Proceedings have been recognized by the U.S. Court as foreign proceedings pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, giving effect in the U.S. to the stay granted by the Canadian
Court. A cross-border court-to-court protocol (as amended) has also been approved by the U.S. Court and the Canadian Court. This protocol provides the U.S. Court and the Canadian Court with a framework for the coordination of the administration of
the Chapter 11 Proceedings and the CCAA Proceedings on matters of concern to both courts.

The Canadian Court has also granted charges
against some or all of the assets of the Canadian Debtors and any proceeds from any sales thereof, including a charge in favor of the Canadian Monitor, its counsel and counsel to the Canadian Debtors as security for payment of certain professional
fees and disbursements; a charge in favor of Goldman, Sachs & Co. as security for fees and expenses payable for certain financial advisory services; charges against our and Nortel Networks Technology Corporations (NNTC) facility in
Ottawa, Ontario in favor of NNI (Ottawa Charge) with respect to an intercompany revolving loan agreement (NNI Loan Agreement); a charge in favor of NNI as security for excess payment by NNI of certain corporate overhead and R&D services provided
by us to the U.S. Debtors; a charge to support an indemnity for the directors and officers of the Canadian Debtors relating to certain claims that may be made against them in such role, as further described below; in addition to the Ottawa Charge
mentioned above, charges on the property of each of the Canadian Debtors as security for their respective obligations under the NNI Loan Agreement; and an intercompany charge in favor of: (i) any U.S. Debtor that loans or transfers money, goods
or services to a Canadian Debtor; (ii) any EMEA Debtors who provide goods or services to the Canadian Debtors; (iii) us for any amounts advanced by us to NNTC following the Petition Date; and (iv) Nortel Networks UK Limited (NNUK) for
certain payments due by us to NNUK out of the allocation of sale proceeds we actually receive from future

material asset sales subject to certain conditions. For more information, see note 2 to the accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated
financial statements.

Chapter 11 Proceedings

Also on the Petition Date, the U.S. Debtors, other than NNCI, filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 with the U.S. Court. The U.S. Debtors received approval from the U.S. Court for a number of motions enabling
them to continue to operate their businesses generally in the ordinary course. Among other things, the U.S. Debtors received approval to continue paying employee wages and certain benefits in the ordinary course; to generally continue their cash
management system, including approval of a revolving loan agreement between NNI as lender and Nortel as borrower with an initial advance to Nortel of $75, to support our ongoing working capital and general corporate funding requirements; and to
continue honoring customer obligations and paying suppliers for goods and services received on or after the Petition Date. On July 14, 2009, NNCI also filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Court and thereby became
one of the U.S. Debtors subject to the Chapter 11 Proceedings, although the petition date for NNCI is July 14, 2009. On July 17, 2009, the U.S. Court entered an order of joint administration that provided for the joint administration of
NNCIs case with the pre-existing cases of the other U.S. Debtors.

As required under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, on January 22,
2009, the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors, which currently includes The Bank of New York Mellon, Flextronics Corporation, Airvana, Inc., Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York (U.S. Creditors Committee). The U.S. Creditors Committee has the right to be heard on all matters that come before the U.S. Court with respect to the U.S. Debtors. There can be no assurance
that the U.S. Creditors Committee will support the U.S. Debtors positions on matters to be presented to the U.S. Court. In addition, a group purporting to hold substantial amounts of our publicly traded debt has organized (Bondholder
Group). Our management and the Canadian Monitor have met with the Bondholder Group and its advisors to provide status updates and share information with them that has been shared with other major stakeholders. Disagreements between the Debtors and
the U.S. Creditors Committee and the Bondholder Group could protract and negatively impact the Creditor Protection Proceedings and the Debtors ability to operate.

As a consequence of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Proceedings, generally, all actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment or repayment of
liabilities of any U.S. Debtor preceding the Petition Date and substantially all pending claims and litigation against the U.S. Debtors have been automatically stayed for the pendency of the Chapter 11 Proceedings (absent any court order lifting the
stay). In addition, the U.S. Debtors applied for and obtained an order in the Canadian Court recognizing the Chapter 11 Proceedings in the U.S. as foreign proceedings in Canada and giving effect, in Canada, to the automatic stay under
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Administration Proceedings

Also on the Petition Date, the EMEA Debtors made consequential filings and each obtained an administration order from the English Court under the Insolvency Act 1986. The filings were made by the EMEA Debtors under
the provisions of the European Unions Council Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 on Insolvency Proceedings (EC Regulation) and on the basis that each EMEA Debtors center of main interests was in England. Under the terms of the orders, a
representative of Ernst & Young LLP (in the U.K.) and a representative of Ernst & Young Chartered Accountants (in Ireland) were appointed as joint administrators with respect to the EMEA Debtor in Ireland, and representatives of
Ernst & Young LLP were appointed as joint administrators for the other EMEA Debtors (collectively, U.K. Administrators) to manage each of the EMEA Debtors affairs, business and property under the jurisdiction of the English Court and
in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Insolvency Act 1986. The Insolvency Act 1986 provides for a moratorium during which creditors may not, without leave of the English Court or consent of the U.K. Administrators, wind up the company,
enforce security, or commence or progress legal proceedings. All of our operating EMEA subsidiaries except those in the following countries are included in the U.K. Administration Proceedings: Nigeria, Russia,

##### Table of Contents

Ukraine, Israel, Norway, Switzerland, South Africa and Turkey. Certain of our Israeli subsidiaries (Israeli Debtors) have commenced separate creditor
protection proceedings in Israel (Israeli Administration Proceedings). On January 19, 2009, an Israeli court (Israeli Court) appointed administrators over the Israeli Debtors (Israeli Administrators). The orders of the Israeli Court provide for
a stay in respect of the Israeli Debtors whose creditors are prevented from taking steps against the companies or their assets and which, subject to further orders of the Israeli Court, remains in effect during the Israeli Administration
Proceedings.

The U.K. Administration Proceedings in relation to NNUK have been recognized by the U.S. Court as foreign main
proceedings pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, giving effect in the U.S., to the moratorium provided by the Insolvency Act 1986.

On May 28, 2009, at the request of the U.K. Administrators of NNSA, the Commercial Court of Versailles, France (French Court) ordered the commencement of secondary proceedings in respect of NNSA. The secondary
proceedings consist of liquidation proceedings during which NNSA will continue to operate as a going concern for an initial period of three months subject to extension upon the approval of the French Court. In accordance with the EC Regulation, the
U.K. Administration Proceedings remain the main proceedings in respect of NNSA although a French Administrator has been appointed (French Administrator) and is in charge of the day-to-day affairs and continuing business of NNSA and a French
Liquidator has also been appointed (French Liquidator) who is in charge of the sale process of the business of NNSA.

Significant Business
Divestitures

CDMA and LTE Access Assets

On June 19, 2009, NNC announced that it, as well as us and certain of NNCs other subsidiaries, including NNI, had entered into a stalking horse asset sale agreement with NSN for the sale of substantially
all of our CDMA business and LTE Access assets for $650, subject to purchase price adjustments under certain circumstances. This sale required a court-approved bidding process, known as a stalking horse or 363 Sale under Chapter 11 that
allowed other qualified bidders to submit higher or otherwise better offers. Bidding procedures were approved by the U.S. Court and Canadian Court in late June. Competing bids were required to be submitted by July 21, 2009 and an auction with
the qualified bidders was held on July 24, 2009. Ericsson emerged as the successful bidder for the sale of substantially all of our CDMA business and LTE Access assets for a purchase price of $1,130, subject to certain purchase price
adjustments. We obtained U.S. Court and Canadian Court approvals for the sale to Ericsson on July 28, 2009. Closing is expected to occur later this year and is subject to regulatory and other customary closing conditions. As part of this
agreement, a minimum of 2,500 Nortel employees supporting the CDMA and LTE Access business are expected to receive offers of employment from Ericsson. The related CDMA and LTE Access assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale at
June 30, 2009. The related CDMA and LTE Access financial results have not been classified as discontinued operations as they did not meet the definition of a component of an entity under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(U.S. GAAP). In connection with this transaction, we and NNI paid an aggregate break-up fee of $19.5, plus $3 in expense reimbursements to NSN.

Enterprise Solutions Business

On July 20, 2009, NNC announced that it, as well as us and
certain of NNCs other subsidiaries, including NNI and NNUK, have entered into a stalking horse asset and share sale agreement with Avaya for our North American, CALA and Asian ES business; and an asset sale agreement with Avaya for
the EMEA portion of our ES business for a purchase price of $475 subject to purchase price adjustments under certain circumstances. These agreements include the planned sale of substantially all of the assets of the ES business globally as well as
the shares of NGS and DiamondWare, Ltd.

We filed the stalking horse asset and share sale agreement with the U.S. Court along with a motion
seeking the establishment of bidding procedures for an auction that allows other qualified bidders to submit higher or otherwise better offers, as required under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. A similar motion for the

##### Table of Contents

approval of the bidding procedures has been filed with the Canadian Court. We obtained Canadian Court and U.S. Court approval for the bidding procedures on
August 4, 2009. Competing bids are required to be submitted by September 4, 2009 and an auction with the qualified bidders is scheduled for September 11, 2009. Following completion of the bidding process, final approval of the U.S.
and Canadian courts will be required.

Save for in relation to NNSA, the U.K. Administrators have the authority, without further court
approval, to enter into the EMEA asset sale agreement on behalf of each of the EMEA Debtors. In some EMEA jurisdictions, this transaction is subject to compliance with information and consultation obligations with employee representatives prior to
finalization of the terms of the sale.

In addition to the processes and approvals outlined above, consummation of the transaction is
subject to the satisfaction of regulatory and other conditions and the receipt of various approvals, including governmental approvals in Canada and the United States and the approval of the courts in France and Israel.

As a result of the court approvals outlined above, we have begun the process of identifying the individual assets and liabilities as of June 30,
2009 that are expected to be included as part of the sale transaction. These assets and liabilities will be classified as assets held for sale in the third quarter of 2009.

LGN Joint Venture

On May 27,
2009, we announced that we have decided to seek a buyer for our majority stake (50% plus 1 share) in LGN, our Korean joint venture with LGE. Our affiliates based in Asia including LGN have not filed for creditor protection; however, pursuant to our
ongoing creditor protection proceedings, we filed a motion with the Canadian Court and received approval of a proposed sale process that has been agreed with LGE and the appointment of Goldman, Sachs & Co. to assist with the proposed
divestiture. Any proposed sale that results from the sale process will require the consent of LGE under the terms of the joint venture agreement, and further approval of the Canadian Court.

Nortel Netas

On July 30, 2009,
Nortel Networks International Finance & Holdings B. V. (NNIF), an EMEA Debtor, announced that it is evaluating its strategic options including a possible disposal of its 53.13% stake in Nortel Networks Netas Telekomunikasyon A.S. (Netas), a
publicly traded Turkish company, as part of the ongoing restructuring of Nortel.

Further Divestitures

The Creditor Protection Proceedings may result in additional sales or divestitures, but we can provide no assurance that we will be able to complete any
sale or divestiture on acceptable terms or at all. On June 19, 2009, we announced that we were advancing in discussions with external parties to sell our other businesses. On February 18, 2009, the U.S. Court approved procedures for the
sale or abandonment by the U.S. Debtors of assets with a de minimis value. The Canadian Debtors can generally take similar actions with the approval of the Canadian Monitor. In France, the French Administrator and French Liquidator have the
ability to deal with assets of de minimisvalue in a similar way under statute. There is no formal concept of abandonment of assets with a de minimis value in the U.K. Administration Proceedings, although the U.K.
Administrators will ordinarily not take any steps to deal with assets where there is no benefit to creditors in them doing so. As we continue to advance in discussions to sell our other businesses, we will consult with the Canadian Monitor, the U.K.
Administrators, the U.S. Creditors Committee, the Bondholder Group and other stakeholders as appropriate (including the French Administrator, the French Liquidator and the Israeli Administrators as necessary), and any proposed divestiture may
be subject to the approval of affected stakeholders and the relevant courts. There can be no assurance that any further proposed sale or divestiture will be developed, confirmed or approved, where required, by any of the relevant courts or affected
stakeholders.

Jurisdictional Analysis

We are currently undertaking an in-depth analysis to assess the strategic and economic value of several of our subsidiaries, in particular those that are
incurring losses and require financial assistance or support in order to carry on business. In light of this analysis, we have started making decisions to cease operations in certain countries that are no longer considered strategic or material to
our business or where such losses cannot be supported or justified on an ongoing basis.

Business Operations

During the Creditor Protection Proceedings, and until the completion of any proposed divestitures or a decision to cease operations in certain countries
is made, the businesses of the Debtors continue to operate under the jurisdictions and orders of the applicable courts and in accordance with applicable legislation. We have continued to engage with our existing customer base in an effort to
maintain delivery of products and services, minimize interruptions as a result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings and our divestiture efforts and resolve any interruptions in a timely manner. At the beginning of the proceedings, we established a
senior procurement team, along with appropriate advisors, to address supplier issues and concerns as they arose to ensure ongoing supply of goods and services and minimize any disruption in our global supply chain. This procedure continues to
function effectively and any supply chain issues are being dealt with on a timely basis.

Contracts

Under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the U.S. Debtors may assume, assume and assign, or reject certain executory contracts including unexpired leases, subject
to the approval of the U.S. Court and certain other conditions. Pursuant to the initial order of the Canadian Court, the Canadian Debtors are permitted to repudiate any arrangement or agreement, including real property leases. Any reference to any
such agreements or instruments and to termination rights or a quantification of our obligations under any such agreements or instruments is qualified by any overriding rejection, repudiation or other rights the Debtors may have as a result of or in
connection with the Creditor Protection Proceedings. The administration orders granted by the English Court do not give any similar unilateral rights to the U.K. Administrators. The U.K. Administrators and in the case of NNSA, the French
Administrator decide in each case whether an EMEA Debtor should continue to perform under an existing contract on the basis of whether it is in the interests of that administration to do so. Claims may arise as a result of a Debtor rejecting,
repudiating or no longer continuing to perform any contract or arrangement, which claims would usually be unsecured. Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have assumed and rejected or repudiated various contracts, including real property leases and
commercial agreements. The Debtors will continue to review other contracts throughout the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

Creditor Protection
Proceeding Claims

On August 4, 2009, the U.S. Court approved the establishment of a claims process in the U.S. for claims that
arose prior to Petition Date. Under this claims process, proof of claims must be received by the U.S. Claims Agent, Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC, by no later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on September 30, 2009.

On July 30, 2009, we announced that the Canadian Court approved the establishment of a claims process in Canada in connection with the CCAA
Proceedings. Under this claims process, proof of claims other than Compensation Claims must be received by the Canadian Monitor, Ernst & Young Inc., by no later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on September 30, 2009.

In relation to NNSA, claims must be submitted to the French Administrator no later than August 12, 2009 with respect to French
creditors and October 12, 2009 with respect to foreign creditors.

In relation to the Israeli Debtors, the Israeli Court determined
that claims should be submitted to the Israeli Administrators by no later than July 26, 2009.

The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements for the quarterly period ending June 30,
2009 (Second Quarter Financial Statements) do not include the effects of any current or future claims relating to the Creditor Protection Proceedings. Certain claims filed may have priority over those of the Debtors unsecured creditors.
Currently, it is not possible to determine the extent of claims filed and to be filed, whether such claims will be disputed and whether they will be subject to discharge in the Creditor Protection Proceedings. It is also not possible at this time to
determine whether to establish any additional liabilities in respect of claims. The Debtors are reviewing all claims filed and are beginning the claims reconciliation process.

Interim Funding and Settlement Agreement

Historically, we have deployed our cash through a
variety of intercompany borrowing and transfer pricing arrangements to allow us to operate on a global basis and to allocate profits and losses, and certain costs, among the corporate group. In particular, the Canadian Debtors have continued to
allocate profits and losses, and certain costs, among the corporate group through transfer pricing agreement payments (TPA payments). Other than one $30 payment made by NNI to us in respect of amounts that could arguably be owed in connection with
the transfer pricing agreement, TPA payments had been suspended since the Petition Date. The Canadian Debtors, the U.S. Debtors and the EMEA Debtors, with the support of the U.S. Creditors Committee and the Bondholder Group, entered into an
Interim Funding and Settlement Agreement (IFSA) dated June 9, 2009 under which NNI will pay $157 to us, in four installments during the period ending September 30, 2009 in full and final settlement of TPA Payments for the period from
the Petition Date to September 30, 2009. A portion of this funding may be repayable by us to NNI in certain circumstances. The IFSA was approved by the U.S. Court and Canadian Court on June 29, 2009 and on June 23, 2009, the English
Court confirmed that the U.K. Administrators were at liberty to enter into the IFSA on behalf of each of the EMEA Debtors (save for NNSA which was authorized to enter into the IFSA by the French Court on July 7, 2009). There can be no assurance
that this funding will be sufficient to fund the Canadian Debtors operations during this period. Further arrangements will be necessary in order to address our liquidity needs for periods subsequent to September 30, 2009 as the IFSA provides
funding through this date and there can be no assurance that the Canadian Debtors will be able to arrange additional funding sufficient to fund operations post September 30, 2009.

Export Development Canada Support Facility; Other Contracts and Debt Instruments

Effective
January 14, 2009, we entered into an agreement with EDC (Short-Term Support Agreement) to permit continued access by us to the EDC support facility (EDC Support Facility), for an interim period to February 13, 2009, for up to $30 of
support based on its then-estimated requirements over the period. The EDC Support Facility provides for the issuance of support in the form of guarantee bonds or guarantee type documents issued to financial institutions that issue letters of credit
or guarantee, performance or surety bonds, or other instruments in support of Nortels contract performance. EDC subsequently agreed to extend this interim period to May 1, 2009. Under an amending agreement dated April 24, 2009, this
interim period was further extended to July 30, 2009. On June 18, 2009, we and EDC entered into a further amendment to the Short-Term Support Agreement and a cash collateral agreement (Cash Collateral Agreement). Pursuant to the current
Short-Term Support Agreement as amended, continued access by us to the EDC Support Facility is at the sole discretion of EDC. Nortel has provided cash collateral of $6.5 for all outstanding post-petition support in accordance with the terms of the
Cash Collateral Agreement, and the charge that was previously granted by the Canadian Court over certain of Nortels assets in favor of EDC is no longer in force or effect. On July 28, 2009, we and EDC entered into a further amendment to
the Short-Term Support Agreement to extend the interim period to October 30, 2009.

Our filings under Chapter 11 and the CCAA
constituted events of default or otherwise triggered repayment obligations under the instruments governing substantially all of the indebtedness issued or guaranteed by NNC, NNL, NNI and NNCC. In addition, we may not be in compliance with certain
other covenants under indentures, the EDC Support Facility and other debt or lease instruments, and the obligations under those agreements may have been accelerated. We believe that any efforts to enforce such payment obligations against the U.S.
Debtors are stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Proceedings. Although the CCAA does not provide an automatic stay, the Canadian Court has granted a stay to the Canadian Debtors that currently extends to October 30, 2009. Pursuant

to the U.K. Administration Proceedings, a moratorium has commenced during which creditors may not, without leave of the English Court or consent of the U.K.
Administrators, enforce security, or commence or progress legal proceedings. The Israeli Administration Proceedings also provide for a stay which remains in effect during the pendency of such proceedings.

The Creditor Protection Proceedings may have also constituted events of default under other contracts and leases of the Debtors. In addition, the Debtors
may not be in compliance with various covenants under other contracts and leases. Depending on the jurisdiction, actions taken by counterparties or lessors based on such events of default and other breaches may be unenforceable as a result of the
Creditor Protection Proceedings.

In addition, the Creditor Protection Proceedings may have caused, directly or indirectly, defaults or
events of default under the debt instruments and/or contracts and leases of certain of our non-Debtor entities. These events of default (or defaults that become events of default) could give counterparties the right to accelerate the maturity of
this debt or terminate such contracts or leases.

Flextronics

On January 14, 2009, we announced that we had entered into an amendment to arrangements (Amending Agreement) with a major supplier, Flextronics Telecom Systems, Ltd. (Flextronics). Under the terms of the
amendment, we agreed to commitments to purchase $120 of existing inventory by July 1, 2009 and to make quarterly purchases of other inventory, and to terms relating to payment and pricing. Flextronics had notified us of its intention to
terminate certain other arrangements upon 180 days notice (in July 2009) pursuant to the exercise by Flextronics of its contractual termination rights, while the other arrangements between the parties will continue in accordance with their
terms. Following subsequent negotiations, we have resolved all ongoing disputes and issues relating to the interpretation of the Amending Agreement and have confirmed, among other things, our obligation to purchase inventory in accordance with
existing plans of record of $25. In addition, one of the supplier agreements with Flextronics will not terminate on July 12, 2009, as originally referenced in the Amending Agreement, but instead has been extended to December 2009, with a
further extension for certain products to July 2010.

Value, Listing and Trading of NNC Common Shares and NNL Preferred Shares

On January 14, 2009, NNC received notice from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that it decided to suspend the listing of Nortel Networks
Corporation common shares (NNC common shares) on the NYSE. NYSE stated that its decision was based on the commencement of the CCAA Proceedings and Chapter 11 Proceedings. As previously disclosed, NNC also was not in compliance with the NYSEs
price criteria pursuant to the NYSEs Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of NNC common shares was less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30-trading-day period as of December 11, 2008. Subsequently, on
February 2, 2009, NNC common shares were delisted from the NYSE. NNC common shares are currently quoted in the over-the-counter market in the Pink Sheets under the symbol NRTLQ.

On January 14, 2009, NNC received notice from the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) that it had begun reviewing the eligibility of NNC and NNL securities
for continued listing on the TSX. However, the TSX stopped its review after concluding that the review was stayed by the initial order obtained by the Canadian Debtors pursuant to the CCAA Proceedings.

On February 5, 2009, the U.S. Court also granted a motion by the U.S. Debtors to impose certain restrictions and notification procedures on trading
in NNC common shares and NNL preferred shares in order to preserve valuable tax assets in the U.S., in particular net operating loss carryovers and certain other tax attributes of the U.S. Debtors.

On June 19, 2009, NNC announced that we do not expect that holders of NNC common shares and NNL preferred shares will receive any value from
the Creditor Protection Proceedings and we expect that the



75

proceedings will ultimately result in the cancellation of these equity interests. As a result, NNC applied to delist the NNC common shares and we applied to
delist the NNL preferred shares from trading on the TSX and delisting occurred on June 26, 2009 at the close of trading.

As a result
of the TSX delisting, certain sellers of NNC common shares and NNL preferred shares who are not residents of Canada (non-residents) for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) may be liable for Canadian tax and may be subject to tax filing
requirements in Canada as a result of the sale of such shares after June 26, 2009. Also, purchasers of NNC common shares and NNL preferred shares from non-residents may have an obligation to remit 25% of the purchase price to the Canada Revenue
Agency. Parties to sales of NNC common shares or NNL preferred shares involving a non-resident seller should consult their tax advisors or the Canada Revenue Agency. The statements herein are not intended to constitute, nor should they be relied
upon as, tax advice to any particular seller or purchaser of NNC common shares or NNL preferred shares.

Annual General Meeting of Shareholders

We and NNC obtained an order from the Canadian Court under the CCAA Proceedings relieving NNC and NNL from the obligation to call
and hold annual meetings of their respective shareholders by the statutory deadline of June 30, 2009, and directing them to call and hold such meetings within six months following the termination of the stay period under the CCAA Proceedings.

Termination of Hedging Activity

To manage the risk from fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, we had entered into various derivative hedging transactions in accordance with its policies and procedures. However, as a result of the Creditor
Protection Proceedings, the financial institutions that were counterparties in respect of these transactions have terminated the related instruments. Consequently, we are now exposed to these interest rate and foreign currency risks and are expected
to stay exposed at least until the conclusion of the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

Directors and Officers Compensation and
Indemnification

The Canadian Court has ordered the Canadian Debtors to indemnify their respective directors and officers for all
claims that may be made against them relating to any failure of the Canadian Debtors to comply with certain statutory payment and remittance obligations arising during the CCAA Proceedings. The Canadian Court has also granted a charge against all
property of the Canadian Debtors, in the aggregate amount not exceeding CAD$90, as security for such indemnities and related legal fees and expenses.

In addition, in conjunction with the Creditor Protection Proceedings, NNC established a directors and officers trust (D&O Trust) in the amount of approximately CAD$12. The purpose of the D&O Trust
is to provide a trust fund for the payment of liability claims (including defense costs) that may be asserted against individuals who serve as directors and officers of NNC, or as directors and officers of other entities at NNCs request (such
as subsidiaries and joint venture entities), by reason of that association with NNC or other entity, to the extent that such claims are not paid or satisfied out of insurance maintained by NNC and NNC is unable to indemnify the individual. Such
liability claims would include claims for unpaid statutory payment or remittance obligations of NNC or such other entities for which such directors and officers have personal statutory liability but will not include claims for which NNC is
prohibited by applicable law from providing indemnification to such directors or officers. The D&O Trust also may be drawn upon to maintain directors and officers insurance coverage in the event NNC fails or refuses to do so. The
D&O Trust will remain in place until the later of December 31, 2015 or three years after all known actual or potential claims have been satisfied or resolved, at which time any remaining trust funds will revert to NNC.

As part of the relief sought in the CCAA Proceedings, NNC requested entitlement to pay the directors
their compensation in cash on a current basis, notwithstanding any outstanding elections, during the period in which the directors continue as directors in the CCAA Proceedings. On the Petition Date, the Canadian Court granted an order providing
that our directors are entitled to receive remuneration in cash on a current basis at current compensation levels less an overall $25 thousand reduction notwithstanding the terms of, or elections made under, the Deferred Share Compensation Plans.

Workforce Reductions; Employee Compensation Program Changes

On February 25, 2009, we announced a workforce reduction plan. Under this plan, we intend to reduce our global workforce by approximately 5,000 net positions. We have commenced and will continue to implement
these reductions, in accordance with local country legal requirements. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we undertook additional workforce reduction activities. Given the Creditor Protection Proceedings, we have discontinued all
remaining activities under our previously announced restructuring plans as of the Petition Date. For further information, see the Workforce and Other Cost Reduction Activities section of this report. In addition, we expect to take
further, ongoing workforce and other cost reduction actions as we work through the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

We also announced on
February 25, 2009 several changes to our employee compensation programs. Upon the recommendation of management, our Board of Directors approved no payment of bonuses under the Nortel Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) for 2008. We are continuing our
AIP in 2009 for all eligible full- and part-time employees. The plan has been modified to permit quarterly rather than annual award determinations and payouts, if any. This will provide a more immediate incentive for employees upon the achievement
of critical shorter-term corporate performance objectives, including specific operational metrics in support of customer service levels, as we work through the Creditor Protection Proceedings. Where required, we have obtained court approvals for
retention and incentive compensation plans for certain key eligible employees deemed essential to the business during the Creditor Protection Proceedings and we have since implemented such plans. See Key Executive Incentive Plan and Key
Employee Retention Plan in the Executive and Director Compensation section of our 2008 Annual Report for further information with respect to our key employee incentive and retention programs for employees in North America, CALA and Asia. On
March 20, 2009, we obtained Canadian Court approval to terminate the Nortel Networks Corporation Change in Control Plan. For further information on this plan, see CIC Plan in the Executive and Director Compensation section of our
2008 Annual Report.

On February 27, 2009, we obtained Canadian Court approval to terminate our equity-based compensation plans (the
Nortel 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, As Amended and Restated (2005 SIP), the Nortel Networks Corporation 1986 Stock Option Plan, As Amended and Restated (1986 Plan) and the Nortel Networks Corporation 2000 Stock Option Plan (2000 Plan)) and certain
equity plans assumed in prior acquisitions, including all outstanding equity under these plans (stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance stock units (PSUs)), whether vested or unvested. We sought
this approval given the decreased value of NNC common shares and the administrative and associated costs of maintaining the plans to us as well as the plan participants. See note 20, Share-based compensation plans, to the audited
financial statements that accompany our 2008 Annual Report and note 17, Share-based compensation plans to the accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements, for additional information about our
share-based compensation plans.

Basis of Presentation and Going Concern Issues

For periods ending after the Petition Date, we will reflect adjustments to our financial statements in accordance with American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) No. 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code (SOP 90-7), assuming that we will continue as a going concern.



77



---

##### Table of Contents

SOP 90-7, which is applicable to companies that have filed petitions under applicable bankruptcy
code provisions and as a result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings is applicable to us, generally does not change the manner in which financial statements are prepared. However, it does require that the financial statements for periods
subsequent to the filing of an applicable bankruptcy petition distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with a reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. For this reason, our revenues, expenses, realized gains
and losses, and provisions for losses that can be directly associated with the Creditor Protection Proceedings must be reported separately as reorganization items in the statements of operations beginning in the quarter ended March 31, 2009.
The balance sheets must distinguish pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise from both those pre-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise and from post-petition liabilities. Liabilities that may be affected by a plan of
reorganization must be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. In addition, reorganization items must be disclosed separately in the statements of cash flows. We adopted SOP 90-7 effective
on January 14, 2009 and have segregated those items outlined above for all reporting periods subsequent to such date.

Based on our
review of the applicable accounting guidance, we have concluded that as we do not have all elements of control over the EMEA Debtors, we are precluded from consolidating such subsidiaries in the accompanying condensed combined and consolidated
financial statements. We have determined that it is appropriate to prepare combined financial statements, instead of preparing separate financial statements, including the EMEA Debtors, as all the EMEA Debtors were deemed to be under common
management with us and our consolidated subsidiaries. For further information, see note 1 of the accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP
in the preparation of annual combined and consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in
our audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2008, except as discussed above and in notes 3 and 4 to the accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated
financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 is derived from the December 31, 2008 audited consolidated financial statements. Although we are headquartered in Canada, the accompanying unaudited
condensed combined and consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. Dollars as the greater part of our financial results and net assets are denominated in U.S. Dollars.

The commencement of the Creditor Protection Proceedings raises substantial doubt as to whether we will be able to continue as a going concern. The
accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as applied by us prior to the Creditor
Protection Proceedings, except as disclosed above and in notes 3 and 4 to the accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements. While the Debtors have filed for and been granted creditor protection, the
accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements continue to be prepared using the going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of
business for the foreseeable future. During the Creditor Protection Proceedings, and until the completion of any proposed divestitures or a decision to cease operations in certain countries is made, the businesses of the Debtors continue to operate
under the jurisdictions and orders of the applicable courts and in accordance with applicable legislation. We have continued to operate the businesses by renewing and seeking to grow our business with existing customers, competing for new customers,
continuing significant R&D investments, and ensuring the ongoing supply of goods and services through the supply chain in an effort to maintain or improve customer service and loyalty levels. We have also continued our focus on cost containment
and cost reduction initiatives during this time. It is our intention to continue to operate our businesses in this manner to maintain and maximize the value of our businesses until they are sold. However, it is not possible to predict the outcome of
the Creditor Protection Proceedings and, as such, the realization of assets and discharge of



78

##### Table of Contents

liabilities are each subject to significant uncertainty. If the going concern basis is not appropriate, adjustments will be necessary to the carrying amounts
and/or classification of our assets and liabilities. Further, a court approved plan in connection with the Creditor Protection Proceedings could materially change the carrying amounts and classifications reported in the accompanying unaudited
condensed combined and consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial
statements do not purport to reflect or provide for the consequences of the Creditor Protection Proceedings. In particular, such unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements do not purport to show: (a) as to assets, their
realizable value on a liquidation basis or their availability to satisfy liabilities; (b) as to pre-petition liabilities, all amounts that may be allowed for claims or contingencies, or the status and priority thereof, or the amounts at which
they may ultimately be settled; (c) as to shareholders accounts, the effect of any changes that may be made in our capitalization; or (d) as to operations, the effect of any changes that may be made in our business.

Reporting Requirements

As a result of the
Creditor Protection Proceedings, we are periodically required to file various documents with and provide certain information to the Canadian Court, the U.S. Court, the English Court, the Canadian Monitor, the U.S. Creditors Committee, the U.S.
Trustee and the U.K. Administrators. Depending on the jurisdictions, these documents and information may include statements of financial affairs, schedules of assets and liabilities, monthly operating reports, information relating to forecasted cash
flows, as well as certain other financial information. Such documents and information, to the extent they are prepared or provided by us, will be prepared and provided according to requirements of relevant legislation, subject to variation as
approved by an order of the relevant court. Such documents and information may be prepared or provided on an unconsolidated, unaudited or preliminary basis, or in a format different from that used in the condensed combined and consolidated financial
statements included in our periodic reports filed with the SEC. Accordingly, the substance and format of these documents and information may not allow meaningful comparison with our regular publicly-disclosed financial statements. Moreover, these
documents and information are not prepared for the purpose of providing a basis for an investment decision relating to our securities, or for comparison with other financial information filed with the SEC.

For a full discussion of the risks and uncertainties we face as a result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings, including the risks mentioned above, see
the Risk Factors section of this report and our 2008 Annual Report. For additional information on the Creditor Protection Proceedings, see note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and note 2
to the accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements. Further information pertaining to our Creditor Protection Proceedings may be obtained through our website at www.nortel.com. Certain information regarding
the CCAA Proceedings, including the reports of the Canadian Monitor, is available at the Canadian Monitors website at www.ey.com/ca/nortel. Documents filed with the U.S. Court and other general information about the Chapter 11
Proceedings are available at http://chapter11.epiqsystems.com/nortel. The content of the foregoing websites is not a part of this report.

Chief Restructuring Officer

On March 2, 2009, we announced the appointment of Pavi Binning as CRO of NNC and
Nortel, a position he is holding in addition to his duties as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). As noted above, Mr. Binning will report to the Canadian Monitor and the proposed U.S. principal officer.

Our Business

We supply end-to-end networking
products and solutions that help organizations enhance and simplify communications. These organizations range from small businesses to multi-national corporations involved in all aspects of commercial and industrial activity, to federal, state and

Effective January 1, 2009, we decentralized several corporate functions and transitioned to a vertically integrated business unit structure.
Enterprise customers are served by a business unit responsible for product and portfolio development, R&D, marketing and sales, partner and channel management, strategic business development and associated functions. Service provider customers
are served by two business units with full responsibility for all product, services, applications, portfolio, business and market development, marketing and R&D functions: Carrier Networks (CN) (consisting of wireless and CVAScarrier VoIP
(voice over internet protocol), applications and solutions) and Metro Ethernet Networks (MEN).

Our Global Services (GS) business unit,
formerly a reportable business segment, has been decentralized and transitioned to the other reportable segments as of the first quarter of 2009. In addition, commencing with the first quarter of 2009, we began to report LGN as a separate reportable
segment. Prior to that time, the results of LGN were reported across all of our reportable segments. Also commencing with the first quarter of 2009, services results are reported across all reportable segments (CN, ES, MEN and LGN). Further to our
announcement in the fourth quarter of 2008, we have decentralized our Carrier Sales and Global Operations teams as of July 1, 2009. We will also be reporting CVAS as a separate reportable segment commencing with the third quarter of 2009.

As of June 30, 2009, our four reportable segments were CN, ES, MEN, and LGN:



| |  |  | The CN segment provides wireline and wireless networks and related services that help service providers and cable operators supply mobile voice, data and multimedia
communications services for individuals and enterprises using cellular telephones, personal digital assistants, laptops, soft-clients, and other wireless computing and communications devices. CN also offers circuit- and packet-based voice switching
products that provide local, toll, long distance and international gateway capabilities for local and long distance telephone companies, wireless service providers, cable operators and other service providers.

Comparative periods have been recast to conform to the current segment presentation.

Commencing with the third quarter of 2009 we will begin to report our CVAS business unit as a separate reportable segment. Prior to that time, the
results of CVAS were included in the CN reportable segment.

Other Significant Business Developments

Decision on Mobile WiMAX Business and Alvarion Agreement

On January 29, 2009, we announced that we have decided to discontinue our mobile WiMAX business and end our joint agreement with Alvarion Ltd., originally announced in June 2008. We are working closely with Alvarion and our mobile
WiMAX customers to transition and/or settle our contractual obligations to help ensure that either ongoing support commitments are met without interruption or alternative settlements are reached that mutually benefit us and our customers.

Layer 4-7 Data Portfolio

On
February 19, 2009, we announced that we had entered into a stalking horse asset purchase agreement to sell certain portions of our Layer 4-7 data portfolio, including certain Nortel Application Accelerators, Nortel Application Switches and the
Virtual Services Switch, to Radware Ltd. for approximately $18. We received orders from the U.S. Court and Canadian Court that established bidding procedures for an auction that allowed other qualified bidders to submit higher or otherwise better
offers. We subsequently received orders from the U.S. Court and Canadian Court approving the transaction with Radware as the successful bidder and on March 31, 2009, we completed this divestiture. The proceeds from this divestiture have been
classified as restricted cash and are currently held in escrow, pending allocation as determined through the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

Calgary
Facility

We previously announced that we had entered into an agreement of purchase and sale dated as of April 27, 2009, with The
City of Calgary, Alberta, for the sale of our facility in Calgary for a purchase price of CAD$97, subject to certain standard adjustments. The sale was approved by the Canadian Court on May 15, 2009 and the sale was completed on
June 15, 2009 for a final purchase price of CAD$97.

How We Measure Business Performance

Our CEO has been identified as our Chief Operating Decision Maker in assessing the performance of and allocating resources to our operating segments. The
primary financial measure used by the CEO is Management Operating Margin (Management OM). Management OM, presented on a combined or consolidated basis, is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP. It is a measure defined as total revenues, less
total cost of revenues, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and R&D expense. Management OM percentage is a non-U.S. GAAP measure defined as Management OM divided by revenue. For a full U.S. GAAP reconciliation of Management OM,
see note 8 to the accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements. Our management believes that these measures are meaningful measurements of operating performance and provide greater transparency to investors with
respect to our performance, as well as supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

##### Table of Contents

These non-U.S. GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the
information contained in our unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Although these measures may not be equivalent to similar measurement terms used by other companies, they may
facilitate comparisons to our historical performance and our competitors operating results.

Global economic conditions have generally continued to deteriorate in recent months and
significant uncertainty about the future of our business has developed amongst customers, suppliers, partners and other stakeholders as a result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings and has impacted our business and financial results. We have
continued to experience significant pressure on our business and deterioration of our cash and liquidity as customers across all our businesses, in particular in North America, generally responded to increasingly worsening macroeconomic and industry
conditions and uncertainty by suspending, delaying and reducing their capital expenditures. The extreme volatility in the financial, foreign exchange and credit markets globally and the uncertainty created by the Creditor Protection Proceedings has
compounded the situation, further impacting customer orders as well as normal seasonality trends. As a result, our financial results were negatively impacted across all of our business segments.

Q2 2009 vs. Q2 2008

During
the second quarter of 2009, foreign exchange fluctuations had an unfavorable impact on revenues of $101 and a favorable impact on both SG&A and R&D expenses of $27 and $28, respectively, when compared to the second quarter of 2008. The
unfavorable impact on revenues was primarily as a result of unfavorable changes in the foreign exchange rates of the Korean Won, the British Pound and the Euro against the U.S. Dollar. The favorable impact on SG&A expense was primarily due
to favorable changes in the foreign exchange rates of the British Pound, the Canadian Dollar, the Euro and the Korean Won against the U.S. Dollar. The favorable impact on R&D expense was primarily due to the weakening of the Canadian Dollar
against the U.S. Dollar.

The decrease in the LGN segment of $434 was mainly due to a decrease in the LGN Carrier business of $404, primarily due to the completion of certain customer contract obligations that resulted in the recognition of
previously deferred revenues in the first six months of 2008 not repeated in the first six months of 2009, the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange fluctuations and high sales volumes related to our 3G wireless products in the first six months of
2008 not repeated to the same extent in the first six months of 2009 due to network completions . The decrease was partially offset by the completion of a number of network expansions related to certain customers in the first six months of 2009.

The decrease in the CN segment of $66 was due to declines in the GSM and UMTS solutions and circuit and packet voice solutions businesses
of $79 and $18, respectively, partially offset by an increase in the CDMA solutions business of $31. The decrease in the GSM and UMTS solutions business was primarily due to declines in sales volumes resulting from the continuing economic downturn
and the uncertainty created by the Creditor Protection Proceedings and certain customer contracts in the first six months of 2008 not repeated in the first six months of 2009. The decrease in circuit and packet voice solutions was mainly due to
certain customer contracts in the first six months of 2008 not repeated in the first six months of 2009. The increase in the CDMA solutions business was mainly due to the recognition of deferred revenues in the first six months of 2009 as a result
of the completion of software deliverables and license fees related to next generation technologies from certain customers, partially offset primarily by the recognition of deferred revenues and an adjustment to revenues in the first six months of
2008, each of which resulted from the completion of obligations in connection with the termination of a customer contract.

percentage of revenues decreased by 3.5 percentage points. The decrease in Management OM was due to a decrease in gross profit of $376 as explained above, partially offset by declines in SG&A and R&D expenses of $139 and $138, respectively.
The decrease in R&D expense was mainly due to headcount reductions and the cancellation of certain R&D programs. The decrease in SG&A expense was primarily due to headcount reductions and reduced sales and marketing spending in maturing
technologies. The decreases in both R&D and SG&A expenses were partially offset by costs related to workforce reduction activities.

Management OM decreased to a loss of $221 in the first six
months of 2009 from earnings of $254 in the first six months of 2008, a decrease of $475 or 187%. Management OM as a percentage of revenues decreased by 10.7 percentage points. The decrease in Management OM was due to a decrease in gross profit of
$902 as explained above, partially offset by declines in R&D and SG&A expenses of $217 and $210, respectively. The decrease in R&D expense was mainly due to headcount reductions and the cancellation of certain R&D programs. The
decrease in SG&A expense was primarily due to headcount reductions and reduced sales and marketing spending in maturing technologies. The decreases in both R&D and SG&A expenses were partially offset by charges related to the

As a result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings, we ceased taking any further actions under our
previously announced workforce and cost reduction plans as of January 14, 2009. Any revisions to actions taken up to that date under previously announced workforce and cost reduction plans will continue to be accounted for under such plans, and
be classified in cost of revenues, SG&A and R&D as applicable. Any remaining actions under these plans will be accounted for under the workforce reduction plan announced on February 25, 2009 (see note 10 to the accompanying unaudited
condensed combined and consolidated financial statements). Our contractual obligations are subject to re-evaluation in connection with the Creditor Protection Proceedings and, as a result, expected cash outlays disclosed below relating to contract
settlement and lease costs are subject to change. As well, we are not following our pre-Petition Date practices with respect to the payment of severance in the jurisdictions under the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

On November 10, 2008, we announced a restructuring plan that included net workforce reductions of approximately 1,300 positions and shifting
approximately 200 additional positions from higher-cost to lower-cost locations (the November 2008 Restructuring Plan, previously referred to as the 2009 Restructuring Plan). We expected total charges to earnings and cash outlays related to those
workforce reductions to be approximately $130. Approximately $58 of the total charges relating to the net reduction of 550 positions under the November 2008 Restructuring Plan were incurred as of December 31, 2008. There were no significant
workforce reductions under this plan after December 31, 2008 and prior to its discontinuance on January 14, 2009.

During the
first quarter of 2008, we announced a restructuring plan that included net workforce reductions of approximately 2,100 positions and shifting approximately 1,000 additional positions from higher-cost to lower-cost locations (the 2008 Restructuring
Plan). In addition to the workforce reductions, we announced steps to achieve additional cost savings by efficiently managing our various business locations and further consolidating real estate requirements. We expected total charges to earnings
and cash outlays related to workforce reductions to be approximately $205 and expected total charges to earnings related to the consolidation of real estate to be approximately $60, including approximately $15 related to fixed asset write-downs.
Approximately $148 of the total charges relating to the net reduction of approximately 1,500 positions and real estate reduction initiatives under the 2008 Restructuring Plan were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2008. There were no
significant workforce reductions under this plan after December 31, 2008 and prior to its discontinuance on January 14, 2009. The real estate provision of $12 as at June 30, 2009 relates to discounted cash outlays, net of estimated
future sublease revenues, for leases with payment terms through to 2013.

During the first quarter of 2007, we announced a restructuring
plan that included workforce reductions of approximately 2,900 positions and shifting approximately 1,000 additional positions from higher-cost locations to lower-cost locations (the 2007 Restructuring Plan). In addition to the workforce reductions,
we announced steps to achieve additional cost savings by efficiently managing our various business locations and consolidating real estate requirements. We expected charges to earnings and cash outlays for the 2007 Restructuring Plan to be
approximately $390 and $370, respectively. Approximately $243 of the total charges relating to the net reduction of approximately 2,150 positions and real estate reduction initiatives under the 2007 Restructuring Plan have been incurred as of
December 31, 2008. There were no significant workforce reductions under this plan after December 31, 2008 and prior to its discontinuance on January 14, 2009. The real estate provision of $13 as at June 30, 2009 relates to
discounted cash outlays net of estimated future sublease revenues related to leases with payment terms through to 2016.

During 2006, 2004
and 2001, we implemented work plans to streamline operations through workforce reductions and real estate optimization strategies (2006 Restructuring Plan, 2004 Restructuring Plan and 2001 Restructuring Plan). All of the charges with respect to
these workforce reductions have been incurred. The real estate provision of $140 in the aggregate as at June 30, 2009 relates to discounted cash outlays net of estimated future sublease revenues, for leases with payment terms through to 2022
for the 2004 Restructuring Plan and the end of 2022 for the 2001 Restructuring Plan.

Post-Petition Date Cost Reduction Activities

In connection with the Creditor Protection Proceedings, we have commenced certain workforce and other cost reduction activities and will undertake further
workforce and cost reduction activities during this process. The actions related to these activities are expected to occur as they are identified. The following current estimated charges are based upon accruals made in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The
current estimated total charges and cash outlays are subject to change as a result of our ongoing review of applicable law. In addition, the current estimated total charges to earnings and cash outlays do not reflect all potential claim or
contingency amounts that may be allowed under the Creditor Protection Proceedings and thus are also subject to change.

Workforce Reduction Activities

On February 25, 2009, we announced a workforce reduction plan to reduce our global workforce by approximately 5,000 net positions which, upon completion, is currently expected to result in annual gross savings of
approximately $560, with total charges to earnings of approximately $270 and total cash outlays of approximately $160. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we undertook additional workforce reduction activities that, upon completion,
are expected to result in additional annual gross savings of approximately $380, with total charges to earnings of approximately $150, and total cash outlays of $80. The charges and cash outlays are expected to be incurred in 2009. Approximately
$178 of the total charges relating to the net workforce reduction of 6,000 positions were incurred as of June 30, 2009.

The following
table sets forth charges by profit and loss category for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009:

Other Cost Reduction Activities

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the real estate initiative resulted in charges of $2 and $5, respectively, which were recorded
against SG&A and reorganization expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded plant and equipment write downs of $3 and $6, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded an
additional charge of $6 and $8, respectively, against reorganization for lease repudiations and other contract settlements.

Gain on Sales of Businesses
and Assets

We recorded a gain on sales of businesses and assets of $15 and $26, respectively, in the second quarter and first six
months of 2009. The gain on sale of businesses and assets in the second quarter and first six months of 2009 was primarily due to a gain related to the sale of our Calgary facility, partially offset by an impairment related to a parcel of land held
for sale. Additionally, the gain for the first six months of 2009 was due to gains related to the sale of certain portions of our Layer 4-7 data portfolio, including certain Nortel Application Accelerators, Nortel Application Switches and the
Virtual Services Switch, to Radware Ltd. in the first quarter of 2009.

We did not have any material asset or business dispositions in the
first six months of 2008.

##### Table of Contents

In the second quarter and first six months of 2009, we have continued to accrue for interest expense of
$65 and $130, respectively, in our normal course of operations related to debt issued by NNC or NNL in Canada based upon the expectation that it will be a permitted claim under the Creditor Protection Proceedings. However, in accordance with SOP
90-7, interest expense in the U.S. incurred post-Petition Date is not recognized. As a result, interest payable on debt issued by the U.S. Debtors, including NNI, has not been accrued in the accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated
financial statements. During the pendency of the Creditor Protection Proceedings, we generally have not and do not expect to make payments to satisfy the interest obligations of the Debtors.

Reorganization Itemsnet

Reorganization items
represent the direct and incremental costs related to the Creditor Protection Proceedings. These items can include revenues, expenses such as professional fees directly related to the Creditor Protection Proceedings, realized gains and losses, and
provisions for losses resulting from the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

Income Tax Expense

During the second quarter and first six months ended June 30, 2009, Nortel recorded a tax expense of $61 and $68, respectively, on loss from operations before income taxes and equity in net earnings of associated
companies of $192 and $1,826, respectively. The tax expense of $68 was largely comprised of $21 of income taxes in profitable jurisdictions primarily in Asia, $6 relating to the accrual of the deferred tax liability associated with our investment in
LGN, the provision of a $33 reserve against a tax receivable in France and $14 of income taxes due to adjustments relating to transfer pricing and uncertain tax positions. This was offset by a benefit of $6 from various tax credits and R&D
related incentives.

We continue to assess the valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. The
valuation allowance is in accordance with SFAS 109, which requires us to establish a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a companys deferred tax assets will
not be realized. We previously recorded a full valuation allowance in 2008 against our net deferred tax asset in all tax jurisdictions other than joint ventures in Korea and Turkey. Based on the available evidence, we have determined that a full
valuation allowance was still necessary as at June 30, 2009 for all jurisdictions other than Korea and Turkey. For additional information, see Application of Critical Accounting Policies and EstimatesIncome Taxes in this
section of this report.

During the second quarter and first six months of 2008, we recorded a tax expense of $62 and $98, respectively, on
earnings from operations before income taxes and equity in net earnings of associated companies of $24 and $20, respectively. The tax expense of $98 was largely comprised of several significant items including

##### Table of Contents

$100 of income taxes on profitable entities in Asia and Europe including a $6 valuation release in Germany based on earnings, $8 of income taxes resulting
from revisions to prior year tax estimates and other taxes of $13 primarily related to withholding taxes and taxes on preferred share dividends in Canada. This tax expense is partially offset by a $19 benefit derived from various tax credits and
R&D-related incentives, and a $4 benefit resulting from decreases in uncertain tax positions.

Q2 2009 vs. Q2 2008

CN revenues decreased to $920 in the second quarter of 2009 from $1,143 in the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of $223 or 20%, due primarily to
decreases in the GSM and UMTS solutions and circuit and packet voice solutions businesses while the CDMA solutions business was essentially flat.

CDMA solutions increased by $13 primarily due to increases in Asia and the U.S. of $42 and $18, respectively, partially offset declines in Canada and CALA of $35 and $18, respectively. The increase in Asia was mainly due to the recognition
of deferred revenues in the second quarter of 2009 as a result of the completion of software deliverables and license fees related to next generation technologies from certain customers. The increase in the U.S. was primarily due to a network
expansion of a certain customer and increased volumes related to access and core portfolios, partially offset by delays in spending by certain customers into the third quarter of 2009. The increases were partially offset by declines primarily due to
the recognition of deferred revenues and an adjustment to revenues in the second quarter of 2008, each of which resulted from the completion of obligations in connection with the termination of a customer contract, and declines resulting from lower
sales volumes and price erosion. The decrease in Canada was primarily due to reduced spending as a result of a change in technology migration plans by certain customers and the decline in CALA was primarily the result of revenues in the second
quarter of 2008 not repeated to the same extent in the second quarter of 2009.

GSM and UMTS solutions decreased by $175 primarily due to
declines in EMEA, Asia and CALA of $90, $54 and $33, respectively, primarily due to declines in sales volumes resulting from the continuing economic downturn and the uncertainty created by the Creditor Protection Proceedings. Additionally, the
decrease in EMEA was related to the recognition of previously deferred revenue in the second quarter of 2008 that did not repeat in the second quarter of 2009 and the decrease in Asia was related to certain customer contracts in the second quarter
of 2008 not repeated in the second quarter of 2009.

The decline in circuit and packet voice solutions of $61 was primarily due to declines
in the U.S., EMEA and Asia of $22, $18 and $9, respectively. The decrease in the U.S. was primarily due to reduced spending by certain customers as a result of the continuing economic downturn, the uncertainty created by the Creditor

Protection Proceedings, and a decline in demand for legacy TDM products as customers shift towards VoIP technology products. The decrease in EMEA was mainly
due to a decline in sales volumes related to the CVAS services and VoIP technology products as a result of the continuing economic downturn and the uncertainty created by the Creditor Protection Proceedings. The decrease in Asia was mainly due to
certain customer contracts in the second quarter of 2008 not repeated in the second quarter of 2009.

CN Management OM increased to $214 in
the second quarter of 2009 from $148 in the second quarter of 2008, an increase of $66. This increase was a result of decreases in both R&D and SG&A expenses of $72 and $35, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in gross profit of
$41.

CN gross profit decreased to $461 from $502, while gross margin increased to 50.1% from 43.9%. The decrease in gross profit was
primarily due to lower inventory provisions, the favorable impact of product mix, and a one-time license fee from a certain customer, partially offset by declines in sales volumes in the GSM and UMTS solutions and circuit and packet voice solutions
businesses primarily as a result of the continuing economic downturn and the uncertainty created by the Creditor Protection Proceedings. The decreases in both R&D and SG&A expenses were mainly due to cost savings from our previously
announced restructuring activities that included headcount reductions and other cost reduction initiatives. Additionally SG&A expense declined due to efficiencies resulting from the realignment of sales and support teams into the businesses.

First six months of 2009 vs. first six months of 2008

CN revenues decreased to $1,657 in the first six months of 2009 from $2,232 in the first six months of 2008, a decrease of $575 or 26%, due to decreases
across all businesses.

CDMA solutions decreased by $153 primarily due to declines in the U.S., Canada and CALA of $99, $73 and $24,
respectively, partially offset by increases in Asia of $31. The decrease in the U.S. was primarily due to reduced customer spending as a result of the continuing economic downturn, industry consolidations, certain customer contracts in the first six
months of 2008 not repeated in the first six months of 2009 and a decline in sales volumes as a result of the uncertainty created by the Creditor Protection Proceedings, partially offset by a network expansion of a certain customer in the first six
months of 2009. The decrease in Canada was primarily due to reduced spending as a result of a change in technology migration plans by certain customers. The decline in CALA was primarily due to revenues in the first six months of 2008 not repeated
to the same extent in the first six months of 2009. The increase in Asia was mainly due to the recognition of deferred revenues in the first six months of 2009 as a result of the completion of software deliverables and license fees related to next
generation technologies from certain customers, partially offset primarily by the recognition of deferred revenues and an adjustment to revenues in the first six months of 2008, each of which resulted from the completion of obligations in connection
with the termination of a customer contract.

GSM and UMTS solutions decreased by $320 primarily due to declines in EMEA, Asia and CALA of
$171, $79 and $60, respectively, primarily due to declines in sales volumes resulting from the continuing economic downturn and the uncertainty created by the Creditor Protection Proceedings. Additionally, the decrease in both Asia and CALA were
due, in part, to certain customer contracts in the first six months of 2008 not repeated in the first six months of 2009.

The decline in
circuit and packet voice solutions of $102 was primarily due to declines in the U.S., EMEA, Canada and Asia of $35, $23, $19 and $18, respectively. The decrease in the U.S. was primarily due to reduced spending by certain customers as a result of
the continuing economic downturn and the uncertainty created by the Creditor Protection Proceedings, a decline in demand for VoIP technology products and revenues from certain customers in the first six months of 2008 that did not repeat to the same
extent in the first six months of 2009. The decrease in EMEA was mainly due to a decline in sales volumes related to the CVAS services and VoIP technology products as a result of the continuing economic downturn and the uncertainty created by the

decline in sales volumes as a result of the continuing economic downturn and the uncertainty created by the Creditor Protection Proceedings. The decrease in
Asia was mainly due to certain customer contracts in the first six months of 2008 not repeated in the first six months of 2009.

CN
Management OM decreased to $259 in the first six months of 2009 from $292 in the first six months of 2008, a decrease of $33. This decrease was a result of a decrease in gross profit of $226, partially offset by decreases in both R&D and
SG&A expenses of $128 and $65, respectively.

CN gross profit decreased to $782 from $1,008, while gross margin increased to 47.2% from
45.2%. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to a decline in sales volumes as a result of the continuing economic downturn and the uncertainty created by the Creditor Protection Proceedings, partially offset by lower inventory provisions,
the favorable impact of product mix, and a one-time license fee from a certain customer in the second quarter of 2009. The decreases in both R&D and SG&A expenses were mainly due to cost savings from our previously announced restructuring
activities that included headcount reductions and other cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by higher spending on our 4G next generation wireless technology in the first quarter of 2009. Additionally, SG&A expense declined due to
efficiencies resulting from the realignment of sales and support teams into the businesses.

the recognition of deferred revenues in the second quarter of 2008 that did not repeat in the second quarter of 2009. Revenues in Canada decreased mainly due
to higher sales volumes in the second quarter of 2008 as a result of a delay in contract negotiations from the first quarter of 2008 to the second quarter of 2008, lower sales volumes in the second quarter of 2009 from certain customers related to
legacy products as they migrate to 40G products, and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange fluctuations.

The decrease in the data
networking and security solutions business of $27 was primarily due to declines in EMEA, Canada and Asia of $12, $5 and $5, respectively. The decrease in EMEA was mainly due to the recognition of deferred revenues in the second quarter of 2008 that
did not repeat in the second quarter of 2009 and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange fluctuations. Revenues in Canada declined as a result of delays by a certain customer related to Carrier Ethernet products and revenues in Asia decreased
primarily due to a decline in sales volumes for Passport products.

The decrease in services revenues of $14 was primarily due to a
decrease in EMEA of $8, primarily as a result of the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange fluctuations and a decline in sales volumes across several customers.

MEN Management OM decreased to $28 in the second quarter of 2009 from $47 in the second quarter of 2008, due to decreases in gross profit of $59, partially offset by decreases in both R&D and SG&A expenses of

MEN gross profit decreased to $124 in the second quarter of 2009 from $183 in the second quarter of 2008, while
gross margin decreased to 37.2% from 40.2%. Gross profit decreased primarily as a result of sales volume declines, price erosion and product mix and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, partially offset by lower warranty costs.
R&D expense decreased primarily due to the cancellation of certain R&D programs, reduced spending in maturing technologies and the favorable impact of foreign exchange fluctuations. The decrease in SG&A expense was mainly due to
headcount reductions and the favorable impact of foreign exchange fluctuations.

First six months of 2009 vs. first six months of
2008

Revenues in the optical networking solutions business decreased by $100 primarily due to
declines in EMEA, Canada and the U.S., of $76, $13 and $11, respectively. The decrease in EMEA was mainly due to revenues from certain customers in the first six months of 2008 that did not repeat to the same extent in the first six months of 2009,
the recognition of deferred revenues in the first six months of 2008 that did not repeat in the first six months of 2009 and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange fluctuations. Revenues in Canada decreased mainly due to higher sales volumes in
the first six months of 2008 as a result of lower sales volumes in the first six months of 2009 from certain customers related to legacy products as they migrate to 40G products, and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, partially
offset by increased demand for Metro WDM and Sonet equipment in the first six months of 2009 from a particular customer. The decrease in the U.S. was primarily due to revenues from a certain customer related to Metro WDM products in the first six
months of 2008 that did not repeat to the same extent in the first six months of 2009 and reduced spending by various customers resulting from the continuing economic downturn and the uncertainty created by the Creditor Protection Proceedings,
partially offset by increased sales volumes with a certain customer in the first six months of 2009.

The decrease in the data networking
and security solutions business of $37 was primarily due to declines in EMEA and Asia of $19 and $10, respectively. The decrease in EMEA was mainly due to the recognition of deferred revenues in the first six months of 2008 that did not repeat in

$782 in the U.S., $809 in EMEA, $309 in joint ventures, $122 in China, $261 in Asia and $108 in CALA. These amounts exclude restricted cash of $89, including an aggregate of approximately $46 and $9 in Canada and the U.S., respectively.
Historically, we have deployed our cash throughout the corporate group, through a variety of intercompany borrowing and transfer pricing arrangements. As a result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings, cash in the various jurisdictions and in the
joint ventures is generally available to fund operations in the particular jurisdictions, but generally is not available to be freely transferred between jurisdictions, regions, or outside joint ventures, other than for normal course intercompany
trade and pursuant to specific court-approved agreements as discussed below. Thus, there is greater pressure and reliance on cash balances and generation capacity in specific regions and jurisdictions.

Since the Petition Date, we have generally maintained use of our cash management system and consequently have minimized disruption to our operations,
pursuant to various court approvals and agreements obtained or entered into in connection with the Creditor Protection Proceedings. We continue to conduct ordinary course trade transactions between the Debtors and Nortel companies that are not
included in the Creditor Protection Proceedings. The Canadian Debtors and the U.S. Debtors have also each entered into agreements with the EMEA Debtors governing the settlement of certain intercompany accounts, including for the purchase of goods
and services. The terms of these agreements have been extended and will currently expire on September 9, 2009 unless further extended by agreement of the parties and, in the case of the Canada-EMEA agreement, with the consent of the Canadian
Monitor and U.K. Administrators.

Historically, we have relied upon additional cash management provisions including a transfer pricing
model that determines the prices that are charged for goods and services transferred between our subsidiaries and the allocation of profit and loss based upon certain R&D costs. In particular, the Canadian Debtors have continued to allocate
profits and losses, and certain costs, among the corporate group through transfer pricing agreement payments (TPA Payments). Other than one $30 payment made by NNI to NNL in respect of amounts that could arguably be owed in connection with the
transfer pricing agreement, TPA Payments had been suspended since the Petition Date and, as a result, our cash flow has been significantly impacted. The Canadian Debtors, the U.S. Debtors and the EMEA Debtors, with the support of the U.S.
Creditors Committee and the Bondholder Group, entered into an Interim Funding and Settlement Agreement (IFSA) dated June 9, 2009 under which NNI will pay

$157 to us, in four installments during the period ending September 30, 2009 in full and final settlement of TPA Payments for the period from the
Petition Date to September 30, 2009. The IFSA provides for a charge in favor of NNI against all of the property of the Canadian Debtors as security for a contingent payment of up to $26 payable by us to NNI in the event it is determined that
the payments made by NNI exceed the amount actually due for the services rendered by us during the period from the Petition Date to September 30, 2009. The IFSA was approved by the U.S. Court and Canadian Court on June 29, 2009 and on
June, 23 2009, the English Court confirmed that the U.K. Administrators were at liberty to enter into the IFSA on behalf of each of the EMEA Debtors (save for NNSA which was authorized to enter into the IFSA by the French Court on 7 July 2009).
There can be no assurance that this funding will be sufficient to fund the Canadian Debtors operations during this period. Further arrangements will be necessary in order to address our liquidity needs for periods subsequent to
September 30, 2009 as the IFSA provides funding through this date.

A revolving loan agreement between NNI, as lender, and us, as
borrower, was approved by the Canadian Court and, subject to certain conditions, approved by the U.S. Court on an interim basis. An initial amount of $75 was approved and drawn, and the remaining $125 provided for under the agreement is subject to
U.S. Court approval. We are not seeking U.S. Court approval at this time to draw down the remaining $125. The loan bears interest at 10% per annum, and is secured by a charge on our Ottawa, Ontario facility, and subject to certain conditions,
an intercompany charge, each as approved by the Canadian Court (see note 2 to the accompanying condensed combined and consolidated financial statements). Our obligations under the loan are unconditionally guaranteed by NNTC and each of the other
Canadian Debtors. The agreement matures on December 31, 2009, subject to extension for a further year, and contains certain covenants, including mandatory prepayment of loans with the net cash proceeds from certain asset dispositions.

Under a current agreement with EDC, we have continued access under the EDC Support Facility for up to $30 of support until
October 30, 2009 unless otherwise extended. The EDC Support Facility provides for the issuance of support in the form of guarantee bonds or guarantee type documents issued to financial institutions that issue letters of credit or guarantee,
performance or surety bonds, or other instruments in support of Nortels contract performance.

Continued access by us to the EDC
Support Facility is at the sole discretion of EDC. There is no assurance that the current level of support, if any, will be sufficient during the period. On June 18, 2009, we and EDC entered into the Cash Collateral Agreement and we have
provided cash collateral of $6.5 for all outstanding post-petition support in accordance with the terms of the Cash Collateral Agreement, see Executive OverviewCreditor Protection ProceedingsExport Development Canada Support
Facility; Other Contracts and Debt Instruments. We have established other cash collateralized facilities in certain jurisdictions including Canada and the U.S. to support our bonding needs. These other facilities can be used as an alternative
to seeking further support under the EDC Support Facility.

We have commenced several initiatives to generate cost reductions and decrease
the rate of cash outflow during the Creditor Protection Proceedings. Some of these initiatives include the workforce reduction plan announced on February 25, 2009 and other ongoing workforce and cost reduction activities and reviews of our real
estate and other property leases, IT equipment agreements, supplier and customer contracts and general discretionary spending as well as our new organizational structure announced on August 10, 2009, see Executive OverviewCreditor
Protection ProceedingsBusiness Operations. We are currently undergoing an in-depth analysis to assess the strategic and economic value of several of our subsidiaries, in particular those that are incurring losses and require financial
assistance or support in order to carry on business. In light of this analysis, we have started making decisions to cease operations in certain countries that are no longer considered strategic or material to our business or where such losses cannot
be supported or justified on an ongoing basis.

Our current cash management system and cash on hand to fund our operations is subject to
ongoing review and approval by the Canadian Monitor and the U.K. Administrators, and may be impacted by the Creditor Protection Proceedings. There is no assurance that (i) we will be able to maintain our current cash management system,
(ii) we will be able to put in place further cost reimbursements arrangements between us and NNI post

September 30, 2009, (iii) the current support under the EDC Support Facility or other cash collateralized facilities in certain jurisdictions is
sufficient for our business needs or that we will not have to provide further cash collateral, or (iv) we generate sufficient cash to fund our operations during this process or that we will be able to access any alternative financing on
acceptable terms or at all.

Cash Flow

Our total cash and cash equivalents excluding restricted cash increased by $165 in the first six months of 2009 to $2,555, due to cash from operating and investing activities including the positive cash flow impact of the Creditor
Protection Proceedings and the favorable impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by cash used in financing activities.

Our liquidity and capital resources are primarily impacted by: (i) current cash and cash equivalents, (ii) operating activities, (iii) investing activities, (iv) financing activities and
(v) foreign exchange rate changes. The following table summarizes our cash flows by activity for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and cash on hand as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

Operating Activities

In the first six months of 2009, our net cash from operating activities of $132 resulted from adjustments for non-cash items of $1,714 plus cash of $540 from changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially
offset by net uses of cash of $199 due to changes in other operating assets and liabilities and a net loss attributable to NNL of $1,923. The net cash used in other operating activities was mainly due to the change in deferred revenues of $252 due
to the release of related revenues, the change in payroll, accrued and contractual liabilities of $165 and the

##### Table of Contents

reduction of advance billings of $91. The use of cash for payroll, accrued and contractual liabilities was primarily due to sales compensation accruals,
SG&A and interest accruals. The other change in other operating assets and liabilities of $108 was primarily comprised of changes to the restructuring accruals. The primary additions to our net loss for non-cash items were amortization and
depreciation of $155, reorganization items under SOP 90-7 of $1,280, share-based compensation expense of $100 primarily related to the cancellation of certain equity-based compensation plans, pension and other accruals of $83, and a goodwill
impairment charge of $48 relating to our NGS business.

In the first six months of 2008, our net cash used in operating activities of
$1,011 resulted from a net loss of $189 plus adjustments for non-cash items of $410 and net uses of cash of $763 due to changes in other operating assets and liabilities and cash of $469 from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The net cash
used in other operating activities was mainly due to the reduction of advance billings of $419 primarily as a result of completion of contracts in LG-Nortel and the advance to NNC of $675, which is included in the change in accounts
receivablenet of $310, partially offset by the change in deferred costs of $261 due to the release of related revenues. The use of cash for payroll, accrued and contractual liabilities of $257 was primarily due to bonus payments and sales
compensation accruals, SG&A and interest accruals. The other change in other operating assets and liabilities of $49 was primarily comprised of pension payments. The primary additions to our net loss for non-cash items were amortization and
depreciation of $165, minority interest of $113, pension and other accruals of $60, deferred income taxes of $47 and share-based compensation expense of $42.

Deferred Revenue

Billing terms and collections periods related to arrangements whereby we defer
revenue are generally similar to other revenue arrangements. Similarly, payment terms and cash outlays related to products and services associated with delivering under these arrangements are also generally similar to other revenue arrangements. As
a result, neither cash inflows nor outflows are unusually impacted under arrangements in which revenue is deferred, compared to arrangements in which revenue is not deferred.

Investing Activities

In the first six months of 2009, net cash from investing activities was
$68 due to proceeds on disposals of plant and equipment of $87 primarily related to the sale of our Calgary facility, a decrease in short-term and long-term investments of $40 as a result of proceeds received from the Fund and proceeds related to
sale of investments of $24, partially offset by an increase in restricted cash and cash equivalents of $57 and expenditures for plant and equipment of $26.

In the first six months of 2008, our net cash used in investing activities was $84, due to expenditures for plant and equipment of $87 and acquisition of investments and businesses, net of cash acquired of $32,
partially offset by a decrease in restricted cash and cash equivalents of $9 and proceeds related to sale of investments of $26.

Money
Market Funds

As part of our cash management strategy, we invest in institutional and government money market funds, which are
considered highly liquid and which we generally account for as cash and cash equivalents. We had invested approximately $362 in the Fund, which was rated AAA by Standard & Poors (S&P) and Aaa (Moodys). On September 16,
2008, the Fund announced that it was reducing to zero the value of its holdings of debt securities issued by Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. and, as a result, the net asset value (NAV) of the Fund was reduced from $1 to $0.97. On September 19,
2008, the Fund filed with the SEC an application to temporarily suspend rights of redemption and announced an intent to ensure an orderly liquidation of securities in the Fund. To account for these developments, we reclassified our investment in the
Fund from cash and cash equivalents to short-term investments, and booked an impairment of $11 to reflect the decline in the Funds NAV. As of

##### Table of Contents

December 31, 2008, the Fund distributed funds back to the investors of which our share was approximately $286. On February 20, 2009 and
April 17, 2009, we received $24 and $16, respectively, as further redemptions from the Fund.

On February 26, 2009, the Fund
announced it would set aside $3,500, or 5.28 cents per share, in a special reserve that will be used to satisfy anticipated costs and expenses of the Fund, including legal and accounting fees, pending or threatened claims against the Fund, its
officers and trustees, and claims for indemnification and other claims that could be made against the Funds assets. Fund distributions will be made pro rata from the Funds assets up to 91.72 cents per share unless the board of
trustees determines to increase the special reserve. Our pro rata share of the remainder of the announced per share distribution of 91.72 cents is $6. We have classified $6 of our investments in short-term investments and the remainder of $19
as long-term investments, as we are unable to assess the timing or amount of distributions which may be made from the special reserve.

Financing
Activities

In the first six months of 2009, cash used in financing activities was $90, primarily due to a net decrease in notes
payable of $46 and capital repayments to noncontrolling interests of $29.

In the first six months of 2008, our net cash provided by
financing activities was $631, primarily due to the proceeds received from the issuance of the 2016 Fixed Rate Notes issued May 2008 of $668 and an increase in notes payable, partially offset by dividends of $21 paid by us related to our outstanding
preferred shares and debt issuance costs of $13.

Other Items

In the first six months of 2009, our cash position was positively impacted by $55 due to the favorable effects of changes in foreign exchange rates primarily from movements of the Euro and the British Pound against
the U.S. Dollar.

In the first six months of 2008, our cash increased by $1 due to favorable effects of changes in foreign exchange rates
primarily from the strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar.

Fair Value Measurements

As discussed in note 14 to the accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2008, we
adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). We utilize unobservable (Level 3) inputs in determining the fair value of the Fund, auction rate securities, and embedded derivatives in
contracts, for which fair values totaled $25, $18 and $2, respectively, as of June 30, 2009.

Our auction rate security instruments
are classified as trading investment securities and reflected at fair value. In prior periods, due to the auction process which took place approximately every 30 days for most securities, quoted market prices were readily available, which would
qualify as Level 1 under SFAS 157. However, due to events in credit markets during the year ended December 31, 2008, the auction events for most of these instruments failed. Therefore, we have determined the estimated fair values of
these securities utilizing discounted expected cash flows (Level 3) as of June 30, 2009. We currently believe that there has been no decline in the fair value of the auction rate securities, because the underlying assets for these
securities are almost entirely backed by the U.S. federal government. In addition, we entered into an agreement with the broker from whom we purchased these securities, whereby at anytime during the period from June 30, 2010 through
July 2, 2012, we are entitled to sell the then remaining outstanding balance of these securities, if any, to such broker at par. Our holdings of auction rate securities represent less than one percent of our total cash and cash equivalents and
short-term investments balance as of June 30, 2009. We believe that any difference between our estimate of fair value of our investments and an estimate that would be arrived at by another party would have no impact on earnings (loss). We will
re-evaluate each of these factors as market conditions change in subsequent periods.

In October 2008, we entered into an agreement (the Agreement) with the investment firm that sold us
a portion of its auction rate securities, which have a par value of approximately $18 as at June 30, 2009. By entering into the Agreement, we (1) received the right (Put Option) to sell these auction rate securities back to the
investment firm at par, at our sole discretion, anytime during the period from June 30, 2010 through July 2, 2012, and (2) gave the investment firm the right to purchase these auction rate securities or sell them on our behalf at par
anytime after the execution of the Agreement through July 2, 2012. We elected to measure the Put Option under the fair value option of SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIncluding
an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159), and recorded a pre-tax income of approximately $3 in 2008, and recorded a corresponding long term investment. Simultaneously, we transferred these auction rate securities from
available-for-sale to trading investment securities. As a result of this transfer, we recognized a pre-tax impairment loss of approximately $3. The recording of the Put Option and the recognition of the impairment loss resulted in no net impact to
the results of operations. We anticipate that any future changes in the fair value of the Put Option will be offset by the changes in the fair value of the related auction rate securities with no material net impact to the results of operations. The
Put Option will continue to be measured at fair value utilizing Level 3 inputs until the earlier of its maturity or exercise.

We determine
the value of the majority of derivatives we enter into utilizing standard valuation techniques. Depending on the type of derivative, the valuation could be calculated through either discounted cash flows or the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The key
inputs depend upon the type of derivative, and include interest rate yield curves, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, and expected volatility. We have consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented and believe we have
obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts we hold.

Future Uses and Sources of Liquidity

The matters described below, to the extent that they relate to future events or expectations, may be significantly affected by our Creditor Protection
Proceedings. Those proceedings will involve, or may result in, various restrictions on our activities, the need to obtain third party approvals for various matters and potential impacts on vendors, suppliers, customers and others with whom we may
conduct or seek to conduct business. In particular, as a result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings, our current expectation on pension plan funding in 2009 is subject to change and funding beyond 2009 is uncertain at this time.

Future Uses of Liquidity

Our cash
requirements for the 12 months commencing July 1, 2009 are primarily expected to consist of funding for operations, including our investments in R&D, and the following items:



| |  |  | cash contributions to our defined benefit pension plans and our post-retirement and post-employment benefit plans of approximately $185, assuming current funding
rules and current plan design;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | purchase of certain inventory from Flextronics of $30;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | capital expenditures of approximately $40;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | costs related to workforce reductions and real estate actions of approximately $107; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | professional fees in association with reorganization of approximately $158.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Contractual cash obligations

Our
contractual cash obligations for operating leases, obligations under post-Petition Date cost reduction activities, employee benefit obligations and other long-term liabilities reflected on the balance sheet remained substantially unchanged as of
June 30, 2009 from the amounts disclosed as of December 31, 2008 in our 2008 Annual Report, except for where we have applied the accounting for SOP 90-7. Our current contractual obligations are subject to re-evaluation in connection with
our Creditor Protection Proceedings. See Executive OverviewBasis of presentation and going concern issues for more information.

Future Sources of Liquidity

Available support facilities

Effective January 14, 2009, we entered into an agreement with EDC
(Short-Term Support Agreement) to permit continued access by us to the EDC support facility (EDC Support Facility), for an interim period to February 13, 2009, for up to $30 of support based on its then-estimated requirements over the period.
The EDC Support Facility provides for the issuance of support in the form of guarantee bonds or guarantee type documents issued to financial institutions that issue letters of credit or guarantee, performance or surety bonds, or other instruments in
support of Nortels contract performance. EDC subsequently agreed to extend this interim period to May 1, 2009. Under an amending agreement dated April 24, 2009, this interim period was further extended to July 30, 2009. On
June 18, 2009, Nortel and EDC entered into a further amendment to the Short-Term Support Agreement and a cash collateral agreement (Cash Collateral Agreement). Pursuant to the current Short-Term Support Agreement as amended, continued access by
us to the EDC Support Facility is at the sole discretion of EDC. We have provided cash collateral of $6.5 for all outstanding post-petition support in accordance with the terms of the Cash Collateral Agreement, and following the provision of such
cash collateral, the charge that was previously granted by the Canadian Court over certain of Nortels assets in favor of EDC is no longer in force or effect. On July 28, 2009, we and EDC entered into a further amendment to the Short-Term
Support Agreement to extend the interim period to October 30, 2009. We have established other cash collateralized facilities in certain jurisdictions including Canada and the U.S. to support our bonding needs. These other facilities can be used
as an alternative to seeking further support under the EDC Support Facility.

Our obligations under the EDC Support Facility are guaranteed
by NNI and as of June 30, 2009, there was approximately $6 of outstanding support utilized under the EDC Support Facility.

Interim
Funding Settlement Agreement

The Canadian Debtors, the U.S. Debtors and the EMEA Debtors, with the support of the U.S. Creditors
Committee and the Bondholder Group, entered into an Interim Funding and Settlement Agreement (IFSA) dated June 9, 2009 under which NNI will pay $157 to us, in four installments during the period ending September 30, 2009, see
Executive OverviewCreditor Protection ProceedingsExport Interim Funding Settlement Agreement.

Credit Ratings

On January 14, 2009 S&P lowered our Corporate Credit Rating to D from B- and at the same time lowered the ratings on NNL preferred shares to D
from C. On January 15, 2009, Moodys downgraded NNCs Ratings to Ca from Caa2 and the rating on NNL preferred shares to C from Ca and following these rating actions has withdrawn all ratings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Bid, Performance-Related and Other Bonds

During the normal course of business, we provide bid, performance, warranty and
other types of bonds, which we refer to collectively as bonds, via financial intermediaries to various customers in support of commercial contracts, typically for the supply of telecommunications equipment and services. If we fail to perform under
the applicable contract, the customer may be able to draw upon all or a portion of the bond as a remedy for our failure to perform. An unwillingness or inability to issue bid and performance related bonds could have a material negative impact on our
revenues and gross margin. The contracts that these bonds support generally have terms ranging from one to five years. Bid bonds generally have a term of less than twelve months, depending on the length of the bid period for the applicable contract.
Performance-related and other bonds generally have a term consistent with the term of the underlying contract. Historically, we have not made material payments under these types of bonds and as a result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings we do
not anticipate that we will be required to make any such payments during the pendency of the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements are based on the selection and application of accounting policies
generally accepted in the U.S., which require us to make significant estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following accounting policies and estimates may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application and represent
our critical accounting policies and estimates: revenue recognition, provisions for doubtful accounts, provisions for inventory, provisions for product warranties, income taxes, goodwill valuation, pension and post-retirement benefits, special
charges and other contingencies.

In general, any changes in estimates or assumptions relating to revenue recognition, provisions for
doubtful accounts, provisions for inventory and other contingencies (excluding legal contingencies) are directly reflected in the results of our reportable operating segments. Changes in estimates or assumptions pertaining to our tax asset
valuations, our pension and post-retirement benefits and our legal contingencies are generally not reflected in our reportable operating segments, but are reflected on a consolidated basis.

We have discussed the application of these critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Revenue Recognition

Our material revenue streams are
the result of a wide range of activities, from custom design and installation over a period of time to a single delivery of equipment to a customer. Our networking solutions also cover a broad range of technologies and are offered on a global basis.
As a result, our revenue recognition policies can differ depending on the level of customization and essential services within the solution and the contractual terms with the customer. Various technologies within one of our reporting segments may
also have different revenue recognition implications depending on, among other factors, the specific performance and acceptance criteria within the applicable contract. Therefore, management must use significant judgment in determining how to apply
the current accounting standards and interpretations, not only based on the overall solution, but also within solutions based on reviewing the level and types of services required and contractual terms with the customer. As a result, our revenues
may fluctuate from period to period based on the mix of solutions sold and the geographic region in which they are sold.

##### Table of Contents

We regularly enter into multiple contractual agreements with the same customer. These agreements are
reviewed to determine whether they should be evaluated as one arrangement in accordance with AICPA Technical Practice Aid 5100.39, Software Revenue Recognition for Multiple-Element Arrangements.

When a customer arrangement involves multiple deliverables where the deliverables are governed by more than one authoritative standard, we evaluate all
deliverables to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting based on the following criteria:



| |  |  | whether the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s); and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if the contract includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and is
substantially in our control.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our determination of whether deliverables within a multiple element arrangement can be
treated separately for revenue recognition purposes involves significant estimates and judgment, such as whether fair value can be established for undelivered obligations and/or whether delivered elements have stand-alone value to the customer.
Changes to our assessment of the accounting units in an arrangement and/or our ability to establish fair values could significantly change the timing of revenue recognition.

If objective and reliable evidence of fair value exists for all units of accounting in the arrangement, revenue is allocated to each unit of accounting
or element based on relative fair values. In situations where there is objective and reliable evidence of fair value for all undelivered elements, but not for delivered elements, the residual method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration.
Under the residual method, the amount of revenue allocated to delivered elements equals the total arrangement consideration less the aggregate fair value of any undelivered elements. Each unit of accounting is then accounted for under the applicable
revenue recognition guidance. If sufficient evidence of fair value cannot be established for an undelivered element, revenue and related cost for delivered elements are deferred until the earlier of when fair value is established or all remaining
elements have been delivered. Once there is only one remaining element to be delivered within the unit of accounting, the deferred revenue and costs are recognized based on the revenue recognition guidance applicable to the last delivered element.
For instance, where post-contract customer support (PCS) is the last delivered element within the unit of accounting, the deferred revenue and costs are recognized ratably over the remaining PCS term once PCS is the only undelivered element. Our
assessment of which authoritative standard is applicable to an element also can involve significant judgment. For instance, the determination of whether software is more than incidental to a hardware element determines whether the hardware element
is accounted for pursuant to AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2), or based on general revenue recognition guidance as set out in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, Revenue
Recognition (SAB 104). This assessment could significantly impact the amount and timing of revenue recognition.

Many of our
products are integrated with software that is embedded in our hardware at delivery and where the software is essential to the functionality of the hardware. In those cases where indications are that software is more than incidental to the product,
such as where the transaction includes software upgrades or enhancements, we apply software revenue recognition rules to determine the amount and timing of revenue recognition. The assessment of whether software is more than incidental to the
hardware requires significant judgment and may change over time as our product offerings evolve. A change in this assessment, whereby software becomes more than incidental to the hardware product may have a significant impact on the timing of
recognition of revenue and related costs.

For elements related to customized network solutions and certain network build-outs, revenues
are recognized in accordance with SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (SOP 81-1), generally using the percentage-of-completion method. In using the
percentage-of-completion method, revenues are generally recorded based on the percentage of costs incurred to



111

##### Table of Contents

date on a contract relative to the estimated total expected contract costs. Profit estimates on these contracts are revised periodically based on changes in
circumstances and any losses on contracts are recognized in the period that such losses become evident. Generally, the terms of SOP 81-1 contracts provide for progress billings based on completion of certain phases of work. Unbilled
SOP 81-1 contract revenues recognized are accumulated in the contracts in progress account included in accounts receivablenet. Billings in excess of revenues recognized to date on these contracts are recorded as advance billings in excess
of revenues recognized to date on contracts within other accrued liabilities until recognized as revenue. This classification also applies to billings in advance of revenue recognized on combined units of accounting under Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) Issue No 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21), that contain both SOP 81-1 and non-SOP 81-1 elements. Significant judgment is required when estimating total contract costs and
progress to completion on the arrangements as well as whether a loss is expected to be incurred on the contract. Management uses historical experience, project plans and an assessment of the risks and uncertainties inherent in the arrangement to
establish these estimates. Uncertainties include implementation delays or performance issues that may or may not be within our control. Changes in these estimates could result in a material impact on revenues and net earnings (loss).

If we are unable to develop reasonably dependable cost or revenue estimates, the completed contract method is applied under which all revenues and
related costs are deferred until the contract is completed. The completed contract method is also applied to all SOP 81-1 units of accounting valued at under $0.5, as these are generally short-term in duration and our results of operations would not
vary materially from those resulting if we applied the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.

Revenue for hardware that does not
require significant customization, and where any software is considered incidental, is recognized under SAB 104. Under SAB 104, revenue is recognized provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services
have been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

For hardware, delivery is considered to
have occurred upon shipment provided that risk of loss, and in certain jurisdictions, legal title, has been transferred to the customer. For arrangements where the criteria for revenue recognition have not been met because legal title or risk of
loss on products did not transfer to the buyer until final payment had been received or where delivery had not occurred, revenue is deferred to a later period when title or risk of loss passes either on delivery or on receipt of payment from the
customer as applicable. For arrangements where the customer agrees to purchase products but we retain physical possession until the customer requests delivery, or bill and hold arrangements, revenue is not recognized until delivery to
the customer has occurred and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Revenue for software and software-related elements is
recognized pursuant to SOP 97-2. Software-related elements within the scope of SOP 97-2 are defined in EITF 03-5, Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Non-Software Deliverables in an Arrangement Containing
More-Than-Incidental Software, as those explicitly included within paragraph 9 of SOP 97-2 (e.g. software products, upgrades/enhancements, post-contract customer support, and services) as well as any non-software deliverable(s) for
which a software deliverable is deemed essential to its functionality. For software arrangements involving multiple elements, we allocate revenue to each element based on the relative fair value or the residual method, as applicable, using vendor
specific objective evidence to determine fair value, which is based on prices charged when the element is sold separately. Software revenue accounted for under SOP 97-2 is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the
software is delivered in accordance with all terms and conditions of the customer contracts, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Revenue related to PCS, including technical support and unspecified when-and-if available
software upgrades, is recognized ratably over the PCS term.

We make certain sales through multiple distribution channels, primarily
resellers and distributors. These customers are generally given certain rights of return. For products sold through these distribution channels, revenue is recognized from product sales at the time of shipment to the distribution channel when
persuasive

##### Table of Contents

evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Accruals for estimated sales
returns and other allowances and deferrals are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of revenue recognition. These provisions are based on contract terms and prior claims experience and involve significant estimates. If these estimates are
significantly different from actual results, our revenue could be impacted.

The collectibility of trade and notes receivables is also
critical in determining whether revenue should be recognized. As part of the revenue recognition process, we determine whether trade or notes receivables are reasonably assured of collection and whether there has been deterioration in the credit
quality of our customers that could result in our inability to collect the receivables. We will defer revenue but recognize related costs if we are uncertain about whether we will be able to collect the receivable. As a result, our estimates and
judgment regarding customer credit quality could significantly impact the timing and amount of revenue recognition. We generally do not sell under arrangements with extended payment terms.

We have a significant deferred revenue balance relative to our combined and consolidated revenue. Recognition of this deferred revenue over time can have
a material impact on our consolidated revenue in any period and result in significant fluctuations.

The complexities of our contractual
arrangements result in the deferral of revenue for a number of reasons, the most significant of which are discussed below:



| |  |  | Complex arrangements that involve multiple deliverables such as future software deliverables and/or post-contract support which remain undelivered generally result
in the deferral of revenue because, in most cases, we have not established fair value for the undelivered elements. We estimate that these arrangements account for approximately 57% of our deferred revenue balance and will be recognized upon
delivery of the final undelivered elements and over time.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In many instances, our contractual billing arrangements do not match the timing of the recognition of revenue. Often this occurs in contracts accounted for under
SOP 81-1 where we generally recognize the revenue based on a measure of the percentage of costs incurred to date relative to the estimated total expected contract costs. We estimate that approximately 13% of our deferred revenue balance relates
to contractual arrangements where billing milestones preceded revenue recognition.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The impact of the deferral of
revenues on our liquidity is discussed in Liquidity and Capital ResourcesOperating Activities above.

Total deferred revenue decreased by $597 in the first six months of 2009 as a result of reductions
related to the net release of approximately $336, reclassifications to held for sale of $250 and other adjustments of $15, partially offset by foreign exchange fluctuations of $4. The release of deferred revenue to revenue is net of additional
deferrals recorded during the first six months of 2009.

Provisions for Doubtful Accounts

In establishing the appropriate provisions for trade, notes and long-term receivables due from customers, we make assumptions with respect to their future collectibility. Our assumptions are based on an individual
assessment of a customers credit quality as well as subjective factors and trends. Generally, these individual credit assessments occur prior to the inception of the credit exposure and at regular reviews during the life of the exposure and
consider:



| |  |  | age of the receivables;
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | customers ability to meet and sustain its financial commitments;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | customers current and projected financial condition;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | collection experience with the customer;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | historical bad debt experience with the customer;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the positive or negative effects of the current and projected industry outlook; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the economy in general.
| | - |  | -----------------------

Once we
consider all of these individual factors, an appropriate provision is then made, which takes into consideration the likelihood of loss and our ability to establish a reasonable estimate.

In addition to these individual assessments, a regional accounts past due provision is established for outstanding trade accounts receivable amounts
based on a review of balances greater than six months past due. A regional trend analysis, based on past and expected write-off activity, is performed on a regular basis to determine the likelihood of loss and establish a reasonable estimate.

The following table summarizes our accounts receivable and long-term receivable balances and related reserves:

Provisions for Inventories

Management must make estimates about the future customer demand for our products when establishing the appropriate provisions for inventories.

When making these estimates, we consider general economic conditions and growth prospects within our customers ultimate marketplace, and the market
acceptance of our current and pending products. These judgments must be made in the context of our customers shifting technology needs and changes in the geographic mix of our customers. With respect to our provisioning policy, in general, we
fully reserve for surplus inventory in excess of demand forecast or that we deem to be obsolete. Generally, our inventory provisions have



114

##### Table of Contents

an inverse relationship with the projected demand for our products. For example, our provisions usually increase as projected demand decreases due to adverse
changes in the conditions mentioned above. We have experienced significant changes in required provisions in recent periods due to changes in strategic direction, such as discontinuances of product lines, as well as declining market conditions. A
misinterpretation or misunderstanding of any of these conditions could result in inventory losses in excess of the provisions determined to be appropriate as of the balance sheet date.

Our inventory includes certain direct and incremental deferred costs associated with arrangements where title and risk of loss was transferred to
customers but revenue was deferred due to other revenue recognition criteria not being met. We have not recorded excess and obsolete provisions against this type of inventory.

The following table summarizes our inventory balances and other related reserves:

|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inventory provisions increased by $25 primarily as a result of $120 of additional inventory provisions, $54 related to rebooking of zero net value
inventory previously removed from our records and foreign exchange adjustments of $14, partially offset by $97 of scrapped inventory, $42 transferred with related inventory to held for sale and $35 of previously reserved inventory (including $30 of
consigned inventory). In the future, we may be required to make significant adjustments to these provisions for the sale and/or disposition of inventory that was provided for in prior periods.

Provisions for Product Warranties

Provisions are
recorded for estimated costs related to warranties given to customers on our products to cover defects. These provisions are calculated based on historical return rates as well as on estimates that take into consideration the historical material
costs and the associated labor costs to correct the product defect. Known product defects are specifically provided for as we become aware of such defects. Revisions are made when actual experience differs materially from historical experience.
These provisions for product warranties are part of the cost of revenues and are accrued when the product is delivered and recognized in the same period as the related revenue. They represent the best possible estimate, at the time the sale is made,
of the expenses to be incurred under the warranty granted. Warranty terms generally range from one to six years from the date of sale depending upon the product. Warranty related costs incurred prior to revenue being recognized are capitalized and
recognized as an expense when the related revenue is recognized.

We accrue for warranty costs as part of our cost of revenues based on
associated material costs and labor costs. Material cost is estimated based primarily upon historical trends in the volume of product returns within the warranty period and the cost to repair or replace the product. Labor cost is estimated based
primarily upon historical trends in the rate of customer warranty claims and projected claims within the warranty period.

##### Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the accrual for product warranties that was recorded as part of other
accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets:

|                                         |  |   |     |  

We engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and
evaluating the quality of our component suppliers. Our estimated warranty obligation is based upon warranty terms, ongoing product failure rates, historical material costs and the associated labor costs to correct the product defect. If actual
product failure rates, material replacement costs, service or labor costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty provision would be required. If we experience an increase in warranty claims compared with our historical
experience, or if the cost of servicing warranty claims is greater than the expectations on which the accrual is based, our gross margin could be negatively affected.

Revisions to warranty provisions include releases and foreign currency exchange adjustments. The $25 of revisions impacting cost of revenues, relates to releases, consisting of $22 of warranty releases and $3 of known
product defect releases. The impact of these releases reduced cost of revenues in the first half of 2009 by $30. The warranty releases were primarily due to declines in cost of sales for specific product portfolios to which our warranty estimates
apply, as well as declines in various usage rates and warranty periods.

Income Taxes

As of June 30, 2009, our deferred tax asset balance was $6,808, against which we have recorded a valuation allowance of $6,796, resulting in a net
deferred tax asset of $12. As of December 31, 2008, our net deferred tax asset was $32. The reduction of $20 was primarily attributable to the effects of foreign exchange translation and changes in deferred tax assets resulting from operations
in the ordinary course of business in Korea and Turkey. With the exception of deferred tax assets in Korea and Turkey, we continue to provide a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, our gross income tax valuation allowance increased to $6,796 compared to $6,050 as of December 31,
2008. The $746 increase was largely the result of $619 of additional valuation allowances recorded against the tax benefit of current period losses and deductible temporary differences including investment tax credits, and $255 of foreign currency
translation offset by decreases to the valuation allowance as a result of decreases in the deferred tax assets in conjunction with FIN 48 of $72 and prior year adjustments of $56.

Our deferred tax assets are mainly comprised of net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards and deductible temporary differences, which
are available to reduce future income taxes payable in our significant tax jurisdictions (namely Canada, the U.S., the U.K. and France). The realization of our net deferred tax asset is dependent on the generation of future pre-tax income sufficient
to realize the tax deductions and credits. Our expectations about future pre-tax income are based on detailed forecasts through 2011, which are based in part on assumptions about market growth rates and cost reduction initiatives. To estimate future
pre-tax income beyond 2011, we use model forecasts based on market growth rates. The expanding global economic downturn and the commencement of the Creditor Protection Proceedings led us to conclude that the forecasts became less reliable as
compared to prior periods. As a result, we are unable to rely on the forecasts as positive evidence to overcome the significant negative evidence and uncertainty. We determined that there was significant negative evidence against a conclusion that
the tax benefit of our deferred tax asset was more likely

than not to be realized in future tax years in all tax jurisdictions other than Korea and Turkey. Therefore, in the year ended December 31, 2008 we
recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset in all tax jurisdictions other than in Korea and Turkey.

Transfer Pricing

We have considered the potential impact on our deferred tax assets that may result from settling our existing applications for
Advance Pricing Arrangements (APA). We have requested that the APA currently under negotiation with authorities in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. apply to the 2001 through 2005 taxation years (2001-2005 APA). The 2001-2005 APA is currently being
negotiated by the pertinent taxing authorities. In October 2008, we filed a new bilateral APA request for tax years 2007 through at least 2010 (the 2007-2010 APA), with a request for rollback to 2006 in the U.S. and Canada, following methods
generally similar to those under negotiation for 2001 through 2005. However, in June 2009 the Canadian tax authority requested that we rescind our 2007-2010 APA application as a result of the uncertain commercial environment.

In September 2008, with respect to the 2001-2005 APA under negotiation, the Canadian tax authorities provided the U.S. tax authorities with a
supplemental position paper (Canadian Supplemental Position). We had previously evaluated the Canadian Supplemental Position and, although the tax authorities continued to negotiate, we had adopted it under FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), as the most likely of the possible outcomes. In June 2009, we received further details from the U.S. and Canadian tax authorities
concerning the tentative settlement of the 2001-2005 APA. The agreement between the tax authorities mandates a reallocation of losses from NNI to NNL in the amount of $2,000 for the tax years ending 2001 to 2005. The agreement makes no mention of an
appropriate transfer pricing method for the 2001-2005 period. We believe that the method proposed in the 2001-2005 APA application is the most appropriate for that period and has reflected that position in our FIN 48 evaluation for the other parties
to the transfer pricing methodology. We have not yet received the terms of the agreement in writing nor accepted it. Once received, we will evaluate its implications to the company. We have reflected this reallocation of losses as the more likely
than not tax position under FIN 48 and during the second quarter of 2009 NNI recorded tax expense due to alternative minimum taxes in the amount of $11. We continue to apply the transfer pricing methodology proposed in the 2001-2005 APA requests to
the other parties subject to the transfer pricing methodology in preparing our tax returns and our accounts for our 2001 to 2005 taxation years. The other parties are the U.K., France, Ireland and Australia.

The U.K. and Canadian tax authorities are also parties to negotiations with respect to the 2001-2005 APA. We are uncertain of the U.K.s response to
the agreement reached between the U.S. and Canadian tax authorities. Since the U.S. and Canadian tax authorities did not express a view on the proposed transfer pricing methodology, we believe it is more likely than not that the Canadian and U.K.
tax authorities would accept the transfer pricing methodology that we submitted in our 2001-2005 APA application and therefore we have released any adjustments to the deferred tax assets in the U.K. as a result of a tentative settlement of the
2001-2005 APA between the U.S. and Canadian tax authorities. We expect the U.K. and Canadian tax authorities to advance negotiations regarding their 2001-2005 bilateral APA upon conclusion of the U.S. and Canadian 2001-2005 APA settlement
negotiations.

We are not a party to the government-to-government APA negotiations, but we do not believe the ultimate result of the
negotiations will have an adverse impact on us or any further adverse impact on our deferred tax assets.

It is also uncertain whether the
Creditor Protection Proceedings will have any impact on the ultimate resolution of the APAs. We continue to monitor the progress of the APA negotiations and will analyze the existence of any new evidence, when available, as it relates to the APAs.
We may make adjustments to the deferred tax and valuation allowance assessments, as appropriate, as additional evidence becomes available in future quarters.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the U.S. Debtors, Canadian Debtors and EMEA Debtors
entered into the IFSA that constitutes a full and final settlement of certain 2009 TPA Payment obligations arising from post-petition services and expenses. As a result of this agreement, NNI will pay us $157, subject to certain conditions and
adjustments, which together with one $30 payment previously made by NNI to us reflects the maximum claim that Canada may assert in connection with TPA Payments for the period from the Petition Date through September 30, 2009. Similarly, except
for two shortfall payments totaling $20, the IFSA provides for a full and final settlement of any and all TPA Payments owing between certain EMEA entities and the U.S. and Canada for the period from the Petition Date through December 31, 2009.
Nortel has used the IFSA as a basis to allocate intercompany profits from the Petition Date through June 30, 2009.

Tax Contingencies

We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The accounting estimates related to the liability for uncertain tax positions require us to make
judgments regarding the sustainability of each uncertain tax position based on its technical merits. If we determine it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits, we record the impact of the position in
our audited consolidated financial statements at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. These estimates are updated at each reporting date based on the facts, circumstance and information
available. We are also required to assess at each reporting date whether it is reasonably possible that any significant increases or decreases to the unrecognized tax benefits will occur during the next twelve months. Our liability for uncertain tax
positions was $140 as of June 30, 2009, of which $4 is included in liabilities subject to compromise.

Actual income tax expense,
income tax assets and liabilities could vary from these FIN 48 estimates due to future changes in income tax laws, significant changes in the jurisdictions in which we operate, or unpredicted results from the final assessment of each years
liability by various taxing authorities. These changes could have a significant impact on our financial position.

We are subject to
ongoing examinations by certain taxation authorities of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We regularly assess the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse outcomes to determine the adequacy of our provision for income and
other taxes. We believe that we have adequately provided for tax adjustments that we believe are more likely than not to be realized as a result of any ongoing or future examination.

Specifically, the tax authorities in Brazil have completed an examination of prior taxable years and have issued assessments in the amount of $78 for the
taxation years 1999 and 2000, exclusive of interest and penalties. We have recorded a tax liability of $48 in respect of these assessments. We are currently in the process of appealing these assessments and believe that we have adequately provided
for tax adjustments that are more likely than not to be realized as a result of the outcome of this ongoing appeals process.

Likewise, the
tax authorities in Colombia have issued an assessment relating to the 2003 tax year proposing adjustments to increase taxable income, resulting in an additional tax liability of $17 inclusive of interest and penalties. Since the fourth quarter of
2008, we have recorded an income tax liability of $17 to fully reserve against this assessment.

In addition, tax authorities in France
have issued notices of assessment in respect of the 2001, 2002 and 2003 taxation years. These assessments collectively propose adjustments to increase taxable income of approximately $1,185, additional income tax liabilities of $47, inclusive of
interest, as well as certain adjustments to withholding and other taxes of approximately $95 plus applicable interest and penalties. Other than the withholding and other taxes, we have sufficient loss carryforwards to offset the majority of the
proposed assessment. However, no amount has been provided for these assessments since we believe that the proposed assessments are without merit, and any potential tax adjustments that could result from these ongoing examinations cannot be
quantified at this time. We did not receive a similar assessment from the French tax authorities for the 2004 tax year. In 2006, we discussed settling the audit adjustment without prejudice at the field

agent level for the purpose of accelerating the process to either the courts or Competent Authority proceedings under the Canada-France tax treaty. We
withdrew from the discussions during the first quarter of 2007 and have entered into Mutual Agreement Procedures with the competent authority under the Canada-France tax treaty to settle the dispute and avoid double taxation. We believe we have
adequately provided for tax adjustments that are more likely than not to be realized as a result of any ongoing or future examinations.

It
is also uncertain what impact the Creditor Protection Proceedings will have on the ultimate resolution of the APAs. If these matters are resolved unfavorably, it could have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. In our ongoing assessment of the expected accounting impact of the settlement of the 2001-2005 APA, we continue to re-evaluate the level of the adjustment made in accordance with FIN 48 to reduce the U.S. gross deferred tax
assets and increase the Canadian gross deferred tax assets (with offsetting adjustments to the respective valuations allowances), to reflect our expectation that the more likely than not outcome of the negotiations between the U.S. and Canadian tax
authorities related to our 2001-2005 APA would result in a reallocation of tax losses from the U.S. to Canada. We made such adjustments during 2008 to reflect the reallocation of losses from the U.S. to Canada as suggested in the Canadian
Supplemental Position paper for the 2001-2005 APA. We have made further adjustments during the second quarter of 2009 to reflect the proposed agreement between the U.S. and Canadian tax authorities. We are in the process of assessing the
implications of the proposed agreement.

Goodwill Valuation

We test goodwill for possible impairment on an annual basis as of October 1 of each year and at any other time if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a
reporting unit below its carrying amount.

Circumstances that could trigger an impairment test between annual tests include, but are not
limited to:



| |  |  | a significant adverse change in the business climate or legal factors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | unanticipated competition;
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | loss of key personnel;
| | - |  | ----------------------



| |  |  | the likelihood that a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or disposed of;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a change in reportable segments;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | results of testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | recognition of a goodwill impairment loss in the financial statements of a subsidiary that is a component of a reporting unit.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The impairment test for goodwill is a two-step process. Step one consists of a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount,
including the goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. We determine the fair value of our reporting units using an income approach; specifically, based on a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Model. A market approach may also be used to evaluate the
reasonableness of the fair value determined under the DCF Model, but results of the market approach are not given any specific weighting in the final determination of fair value. Both approaches involve significant management judgment and as a
result, estimates of value determined under the approaches are subject to change in relation to evolving market conditions and our business environment.

If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, step two of the goodwill impairment test requires the fair value of the reporting unit be allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities of that
reporting unit, whether or not previously recognized, resulting in the determination of an implied fair value of goodwill. If



119



---

##### Table of Contents

the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded in net
earnings (loss).

The fair value of each reporting unit is determined using discounted cash flows. When circumstances warrant, a multiple
of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of each reporting unit is calculated and compared to market participants to corroborate the results of the calculated fair value (EBITDA Multiple Model). The following are
the significant assumptions involved in the application of each valuation approach:



| |  |  | DCF Model: assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, gross margin percentages, projected working capital needs, SG&A expense, R&D expense,
capital expenditures, discount rates, terminal growth rates, and estimated selling price of assets expected to be disposed of by sale. To determine fair value, we discount the expected cash flows of each reporting unit. The discount rate used
represents the estimated weighted average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk involved in our reporting unit operations and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn. To estimate cash flows beyond the
final year of its model, we use a terminal value approach. Under this approach, we use the estimated cash flows in the final year of our models and apply a perpetuity growth assumption and discount by a perpetuity discount factor to determine the
terminal value. We incorporate the present value of the resulting terminal value into its estimate of fair value. When strategic plans call for the sale of all or an important part of a reporting unit, we estimate proceeds from the expected sale
using external information, such as third party bids, adjusted to reflect current circumstances, including market conditions.

Interim Goodwill Assessment

At March 31, 2009, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), we concluded that events had occurred and circumstances had changed
that required us to perform an interim period goodwill impairment test for the reporting unit in our Other segment, Nortel Government Solutions (NGS). Given the nature of the business operations and the decline in the economic outlook, management
decided to place significant weighting on the results of the DCF model in establishing the fair value of this reporting unit. The decision was based on a lack of direct comparable companies. The results from step one of the two-step goodwill
impairment test indicated that the estimated fair value of NGS was less than the carrying value of its net assets and as such we performed step two of the impairment test for this reporting unit.

In step two of the impairment test, we were required to measure the potential impairment loss by allocating the estimated fair value of the reporting
unit, as determined in step one, to the reporting units recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities, with the residual amount representing the implied fair value of goodwill and, to the extent the implied fair value of goodwill was less
than the carrying value, an impairment loss was recognized. As such, the step two test required us to perform a theoretical purchase price allocation for NGS to determine the implied fair value of goodwill as of the evaluation date. In
accordance with the guidance in SFAS 142, we completed a preliminary assessment of the expected impact of the step two tests using reasonable estimates for the theoretical purchase price allocation and recorded a preliminary goodwill impairment
charge of approximately $48. We finalized the goodwill assessment during the second quarter of 2009 and as a result no additional goodwill impairment charges were recorded.

During the second quarter of 2009, we tested our long-lived asset groups (inclusive of NGS) for recoverability in accordance with SFAS 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). The testing of a significant asset group within the NGS reporting unit for recoverability constituted a triggering event pursuant to SFAS 142 requiring an
impairment test for goodwill. We concluded that the existence and evaluation of this triggering event did not result in the recognition of additional goodwill

impairment in the period because assumptions in respect of the NGS reporting unit have not changed materially since March 31, 2009.

No goodwill impairment losses were recorded during the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2008.

Related Analyses

Prior to the goodwill
impairment testing discussed above, we performed a recoverability test of our long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS 144. Similar to the prior quarter, we included cash flow projections from operations along with cash flows associated with the
eventual disposition of specific asset groupings, where appropriate. No impairment charges were recorded as a result of this interim period testing.

Pension and Post-retirement Benefits

We maintain various pension and post-retirement benefit plans for our employees
globally. These plans include significant pension and post-retirement benefit obligations that are calculated based on actuarial valuations. Key assumptions are made at the annual measurement date in determining these obligations and related
expenses, including expected rates of return on plan assets and discount rates.

Significant changes in net periodic pension and
post-retirement benefit expense may occur in the future due to changes in our key assumptions including expected rate of return on plan assets and discount rate resulting from economic events. In developing these assumptions, we evaluated, among
other things, input from our actuaries and matched the plans expected benefit payments to spot rates of high quality corporate bond yield curves.

On January 14, 2009, as a result of the U.K. Proceedings, the U.K. defined benefit pension plan entered the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) assessment process and all further service cost accruals and contributions
ceased. Employees who were currently enrolled in our U.K. defined benefit pension plan were given the option of participating in the U.K. defined contribution scheme. As a result of these changes, we remeasured our pension obligations related to our
U.K. defined benefit pension plan on January 14, 2009, and recorded the impacts of this remeasurement in the first six months of 2009 in accordance with SFAS No. 88, Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of
Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits (SFAS 88). The ceasing of service cost accruals and changes to key assumptions as a result of the remeasurement resulted in a curtailment gain of approximately $22. As a result of this
remeasurement, we changed our U.K. discount rate, a key assumption used in estimating our pension costs. However, this did not result in a change to our weighted average discount rate of 6.4% for all the pension plans as at December 31, 2008.
In addition, we were required to adjust the liability. The effect of this adjustment and the related foreign currency translation adjustment was to decrease pension liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive loss (before tax) by $107. This
adjustment had no earnings impact.

The PPF assessment process can take up to two years, or longer, and will result in the PPF deciding
whether it needs to take on the U.K. defined benefit pension plan or whether there are sufficient assets to secure equivalent or greater than PPF benefits through a buy out with an insurance company. If the PPF decides it needs to take
on the U.K. defined benefit pension plan, the expected claim amount will be significantly more than the carrying amount of the liability.

Wind up of the Ireland defined benefit plan commenced as of April 30, 2009. Employees who were then enrolled in the Ireland defined benefit pension plan were given the option of participating in the Ireland defined contribution scheme.
As a result of these changes, we remeasured the pension obligations related to the Ireland defined benefit pension plan on April 30, 2009, and recorded the impacts of this remeasurement in the second quarter of 2009 in accordance with SFAS 88.
The ceasing of service cost accruals resulted in a curtailment gain of approximately $5, of which $0.3 impacted earnings. As a result of this remeasurement, we changed our Ireland discount rate, a key assumption used in estimating pension costs.
However, this did not result in a change to the weighted average discount rate of 6.4% for all the pension plans as at December 31, 2008. In addition as a result

of the remeasurement, we were required to adjust the liability for impacts from the curtailment gain, changes in assumptions, and asset losses at the
re-measurement date. The effect of this adjustment and the related foreign currency translation adjustment was to decrease pension liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive loss (before tax) by $7.

As a result of workforce reductions in connection with the Creditor Protection Proceedings and the stalking horse sale agreement for CMDA and LTE Access,
we remeasured the post-retirement benefit obligations for the U.S. and Canada and recorded the impacts of these remeasurements in the second quarter of 2009 in accordance with SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other than Pensions (Accounting for a Plan Curtailment) (SFAS 106). Curtailment gains of $9 and $4 were recorded to earnings in the U.S. and Canada, respectively. As a result of these remeasurements, we changed our post-retirement
discount rate, a key assumption used in estimating post-retirement benefit costs, for the U.S. and Canada. This resulted in a change in the weighted average post-retirement discount rate to 6.7% from 6.9% at December 31, 2008. In addition as a
result of the remeasurement, we were required to adjust the liability for impacts from the curtailment gain and changes in assumptions at the re-measurement date. For the U.S, the effect of this adjustment was to decrease post-retirement liabilities
by $15 and accumulated other comprehensive loss (before tax) by $6. For Canada, the effect of this adjustment and the related foreign currency translation adjustment was to increase post-retirement liabilities by $19 and accumulated other
comprehensive loss (before tax) by $23.

On July 17, 2009, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) issued a Notice of
Determination that the Retirement Income Plan, a U.S. defined benefit pension plan, should be terminated under the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act of 1974 (ERISA). On the same date, the PBGC filed a complaint in the Middle District of
Tennessee against NNI and the Retirement Plan Committee of the Nortel Networks Retirement Income Plan seeking to proceed with termination of the pension plan though this complaint was not served against us. NNI is working to voluntarily assign
trusteeship of the plan to the PBGC and avoid further court involvement in the termination process. The PBGC is proceeding to have the plan terminated and be appointed as the Retirement Income Plans trustees. At the time that the PBGC becomes
trustee, it will become one of our creditors and the claim amount is expected to be significantly more than the carrying amount of the liability.

Under ERISA, the PBGC may have the ability to impose certain claims and liens on NNI and certain NNI subsidiaries and affiliates (including liens on assets of certain Nortel entities not subject to the Creditor Protection Proceedings). In
order to proceed with the sale of substantially all of our CDMA business and LTE Access assets to Ericsson (which includes assets of certain non-Debtor subsidiaries), the Debtors and the PBGC have agreed and stipulated that PBGC shall receive $250
thousand in cash out of the proceeds from such sale and the PBGC shall consent to the sale of the non-Debtor assets and waive its rights to assert any lien or claim with respect to the Retirement Income Plan against the sellers, the non-Debtors or
the purchaser.

For 2009, we are maintaining our expected rate of return on plan assets at 7.1% for defined benefit pension plans. Also for
2009, our discount rate on a weighted-average basis for pension expenses is 6.4% for the defined benefit pension plans and 6.9% for post-retirement benefit plans for the first six months of 2009 and 6.7% following the June 30, 2009
remeasurements described above. We will continue to evaluate our expected long-term rates of return on plan assets and discount rates at least annually and make adjustments as necessary, which could change the pension and post-retirement obligations
and expenses in the future. There is no assurance that the pension plan assets will be able to earn the expected rate of return. Shortfalls in the expected return on plan assets would increase future funding requirements and expense. For a
sensitivity analysis of changes in these assumptions, please refer to our 2008 Annual ReportManagements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsApplication of Critical Accounting Policies and
EstimatesPension and Post-retirement Benefits.

At December 31, 2008, we had net actuarial losses, before taxes, included in
accumulated other comprehensive income/loss related to the defined benefit plans of $1,631, which could result in an increase to pension expense in future years depending on several factors, including whether such losses exceed the corridor in
accordance with SFAS 87 and whether there is a change in the amortization period. The post-retirement



122

##### Table of Contents

benefit plans had actuarial gains, before taxes, of $103 included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at the end of 2008. Actuarial gains and losses
included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in excess of the corridor are being recognized over an approximately 10 year period, which represents the weighted-average expected remaining service life of the active employee group. Actuarial gains
and losses arise from several factors including experience and assumption changes in the obligations and from the difference between expected returns and actual returns on assets. With the exception of the U.K. defined benefit pension plan, the U.S.
post retirement plan and the Canada post retirement plan, there were no experience and assumption changes in the first six months of 2009, as we did not have a triggering event that would require a remeasurement.

Effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158) requires us to measure the funded status of our plans as of the date of our year end statement of financial position. SFAS 158 provides two approaches for an employer to transition to a fiscal year end
measurement date. Nortel has adopted the second approach, whereby we continue to use the measurements determined for the December 31, 2007 fiscal year end reporting to estimate the effects of the transition. The adoption has resulted in an
increase in accumulated deficit of $33, net of taxes, and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $5, net of taxes, as of January 1, 2008. For additional information, see Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting
Pronouncements in this section of this report, and note 11, Employee benefit plans, to the 2008 Financial Statements.

Assuming current funding rules and current plan design, estimated 2009 cash contributions to our defined benefit pension plans and our post-retirement benefit plans are approximately $78 and $41, respectively. However, our 2009 cash
contributions to these plans will be significantly impacted as a result of the Creditor Protection Proceedings. Currently, the amounts above include the cessation of contributions to the U.K. defined benefit pension plan following our latest
contribution in January pursuant to the direction of the U.K. Administrators as a result of the U.K. Proceedings, the cessation of contributions to the Ireland defined benefit plan pursuant to the direction of the Ireland Administrator, and the
cessation of contributions to the U.S. Retirement Income Plan following our latest contribution in July as a result of the takeover of the plan by the PBGC. We continue to evaluate our pension and post-retirement benefit obligations in the context
of the Creditor Protection Proceedings and as a result, these amounts may continue to change due to events or other factors that are uncertain or unknown at this time.

Provisions for Exit Activities

We record provisions for workforce reduction costs and exit costs
when they are probable and estimable. Workforce reduction costs paid under ongoing benefit arrangements is recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 112, Employers Accounting for Post-employment Benefits. One-time termination
benefits and contract settlement and lease costs are recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

At each reporting date, we evaluate our accruals related to workforce reduction charges, contract settlement and lease costs and plant and equipment
write downs to ensure that these accruals are still appropriate. As of June 30, 2009, we had $234 in accruals related to workforce reduction charges and $178 related to contract settlement and lease costs, which included significant estimates,
primarily related to sublease income over the lease terms and other costs for vacated properties. In certain instances, we may determine that these accruals are no longer required because of efficiencies in carrying out our workforce reduction
plans. Adjustments to workforce reduction accruals may also be required when employees previously identified for separation do not receive severance payments because they are no longer employed by us or were redeployed due to circumstances not
foreseen when the original plan was initiated. In these cases, we reverse any related accrual to earnings when it is determined it is no longer required. Alternatively, in certain circumstances, we may determine that certain accruals are
insufficient as new events occur or as additional information is obtained. In these cases, we would increase the applicable existing accrual with the offset recorded against earnings. Increases or decreases to the accruals for changes in estimates
are classified within our cost of revenues, SG&A and R&D and were previously classified within special charges in the statement of operations.

Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Changes

Our financial statements are
based on the selection and application of accounting policies based on accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Please see note 3, Accounting changes to the 2008 Financial Statements for a summary of the accounting
changes that we have adopted on or after January 1, 2009. The following summarizes the accounting changes and pronouncements we have adopted in the first six months of 2009:



| |  |  | Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements:In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
(SFAS) No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial StatementsAn Amendment of ARB 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the treatment of noncontrolling interests in
a subsidiary. Noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary will be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements and any retained noncontrolling equity investment upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary is initially measured at
fair value. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 160 has resulted in the retrospective reclassification of
noncontrolling interests (formerly referred to as minority interests) to shareholders deficit and related changes to the presentation of noncontrolling interests in the condensed combined and consolidated statements of operations. For the
three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the adoption of SFAS 160 did not impact the calculation of noncontrolling interests. These changes in measurement and presentation have not impacted the calculation of earnings (loss) per share.

| |  |  | Fair Value Measurements: In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157
establishes a single definition of fair value, a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. We partially adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008. The effective
date for SFAS 157 as it relates to fair value measurements for non-financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis was deferred to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 in accordance with
FASB Staff Position (FSP), SFAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP SFAS 157-2). We adopted the deferred portion of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of the deferred portion of SFAS 157 did
not have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plansan Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and
132(R):Effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, SFAS 158 requires us to measure the funded status of its plans as of the date of our year end statement of financial position, being December 31. We have
historically measured the funded status of our significant plans on September 30, 2007. SFAS 158 provides two approaches for an employer to transition to a fiscal year end measurement date. We have adopted the second approach, whereby we
continue to use the measurements determined for the December 31, 2007 fiscal year end reporting to estimate the effects of the transition. Under this approach, the net periodic benefit cost for the period between the earlier measurement date,
being September 30, and the end of the fiscal year that the measurement date provisions are applied, being December 31, 2008 (exclusive of any curtailment or settlement gain or loss) are allocated proportionately between amounts to be
recognized as an adjustment to opening accumulated deficit in 2008 and the net periodic benefit cost for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The adoption has resulted in an increase in accumulated deficit of $33, net of taxes, and an
increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $5, net of taxes, as of January 1, 2008. For additional information on our pension and post-retirement plans, see note 12, Employee benefit plans, to the accompanying
unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements.

| |  |  | Derivative Instruments Disclosure: In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
ActivitiesAn Amendment of FASB Statement 133
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires expanded and enhanced disclosure for derivative instruments, including those used in hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective
for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009. We have provided the additional information required by SFAS 161 as detailed in note 14 to the accompanying
unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Useful Life of Intangible Assets: In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP FAS
142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 provides guidance with respect to estimating the useful lives of recognized intangible assets and requires additional disclosure related to the renewal or extension of the terms of recognized intangible assets. FSP FAS 142-3 is
effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 142-3 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 did not have a material impact on our results of operations and
financial condition.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Collaborative Arrangements: In September 2007, the FASB EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-1, Collaborative Arrangements
(EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1 addresses the accounting for arrangements in which two companies work together to achieve a common commercial objective, without forming a separate legal entity. The nature and purpose of a companys
collaborative arrangements are required to be disclosed, along with the accounting policies applied and the classification and amounts for significant financial activities related to the arrangements. We adopted the provisions of EITF 07-1 on
January 1, 2009. The adoption of EITF 07-1 did not have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Determining Whether an Instrument Is Indexed to an Entitys Own Stock: In June 2008, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-5,
Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entitys Own Stock (EITF 07-5). EITF 07-5 addresses the determination of whether an equity linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) that has all of
the characteristics of a derivative under other authoritative U.S. GAAP accounting literature is indexed to an entitys own stock and would thus meet the first part of a scope exception from classification and recognition as a derivative
instrument. We adopted the provisions of EITF 07-5 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of EITF 07-5 did not have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Determining Fair Value when the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not
Orderly: In April 2009, FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value when the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly (FSP FAS
157-4). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance on determining fair value for a financial asset when the volume or level of activity for that asset or liability has significantly decreased and also assists in identifying circumstances that
indicate a transaction is not orderly. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective
for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. We adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 157-4 effective June 30, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a material impact on our
results of operations and financial condition.

| |  |  | Recognition and Presentation of Other Than Temporary Impairments: In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and
Presentation of Other Than Temporary Impairments (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 provide guidance on determining whether the holder of an investment in a debt or equity security for which changes in fair value are
not regularly recognized in earnings (such as securities classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale) should recognize a loss in earnings when the investment is impaired. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for interim and annual
reporting periods ending June 15, 2009. We adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 effective June 30, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 did not have a material impact on our results of operations and financial
condition.

| |  |  | Subsequent Events: In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 requires management to evaluate
subsequent events through the date the financial statements are either issued or available to be issued, depending on our expectation of whether we will widely distribute our financial statements to our shareholders and other financial statement
users. We are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 165 effective June 30,
2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (SFAS 166). SFAS 166
revises FAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 140), and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and
where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after November 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. We plan to adopt the
provisions of SFAS 166 on January 1, 2010 and are currently assessing the impact of adoption of SFAS 166.

In June 2009, the FASB
issued SFAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No.46(R) (SFAS 167). SFAS 167 revises FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently
capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entitys purpose
and design and the reporting entitys ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impacts the other entitys economic performance. SFAS 167 is effective for interim and annual periods after
November 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. We plan to adopt the provisions of SFAS 167 on January 1, 2010 and are currently assessing the impact of adoption of SFAS 167.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1, Employers Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets (FSP FAS 132(R)-1).
FSP FAS 132(R)-1 amends FASB Statement 132R, Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits and will require more information about how investment allocation decisions are made, more information about major
categories of plan assets, including concentrations of risk and fair-value measurements, and the fair-value techniques and inputs used to measure plan assets. FSP FAS 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009 and
will be applied prospectively. We plan to adopt the provisions of FSP FAS 132(R)-1 on December 1, 2009 and are currently assessing the impact of adoption of FSP FAS 132(R)-1.

##### Table of Contents

for environmental matters were $11. Based on information available as of June 30, 2009, management believes that the existing accruals are sufficient to
satisfy probable and reasonably estimable environmental liabilities related to known environmental matters. Any additional liabilities that may result from these matters, and any additional liabilities that may result in connection with other
locations currently under investigation, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

We have remedial activities under way at 10 sites that are either currently or previously owned. An estimate of our anticipated remediation costs associated with all such sites, to the extent probable and reasonably
estimable, is included in the environmental accruals referred to above in an approximate amount of $11.

We are also listed as a
potentially responsible party under the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA, at three Superfund sites in the U.S. At two of the Superfund sites, we are considered a de minimis potentially
responsible party. A de minimispotentially responsible party is generally considered to have contributed less than 1% (depending on the circumstances) of the total hazardous waste at a Superfund site. An estimate of our share of the
anticipated remediation costs associated with such Superfund sites is included in the environmental accruals of $11 referred to above.

Liability under CERCLA may be imposed on a joint and several basis, without regard to the extent of our involvement. In addition, the accuracy of our estimate of environmental liability is affected by several uncertainties such as
additional requirements which may be identified in connection with remedial activities, the complexity and evolution of environmental laws and regulations, and the identification of presently unknown remediation requirements. Consequently, our
liability could be greater than its current estimate.

For a discussion of environmental matters, see note 20, Contingencies to
the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

|ITEM 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Capitalized terms used in this Item 3 of Part I and not otherwise defined, have the meaning set forth for such terms in the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section
of this report.

Market Risk

Market
risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our combined and consolidated financial statements through adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure results primarily from fluctuations in interest rates and
foreign currency exchange rates. We maintain risk management control systems to monitor market risks and counterparty risks. These systems rely on analytical techniques including both sensitivity analysis and value-at-risk estimations. We do not
hold or issue financial instruments or third party equity securities for trading purposes.

Termination of Derivative Hedging Instruments

To manage the risk from fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, we had entered into various derivative
hedging transactions in accordance with our policies and procedures. However, as a result of our Creditor Protection Proceedings, the financial institutions that were counterparties in respect of these transactions have terminated the related
instruments. Consequently, we are now fully exposed to these risks and we are unable to mitigate them. We expect to remain so exposed at least until the conclusion of the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

Additional disclosure regarding our derivative hedging instruments is included in note 14, Fair Value, and note 15, Commitments,
in the accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Our most significant foreign currency exchange exposures for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were in the Canadian Dollar, the British Pound, the Euro
and the Korean Won. The net impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations resulted in a loss of $109 in the second quarter of 2009.

Interest Rate
Risk

Our debt is subject to changes in fair value resulting from changes in market interest rates. Historically, and prior to the
initiation of our Creditor Protection Proceedings and termination by the financial institutions of our derivative hedging instruments, we had managed interest rate exposures, as they relate to interest expense, using a diversified portfolio of fixed
and floating rate derivative hedging instruments denominated in U.S. Dollars. For example, we had hedged a portion of this exposure using fixed for floating interest rate swaps on the $550 of senior fixed rate notes due 2013 issued by NNL in July
2006 (2013 Fixed Rate Notes). We are no longer able to mitigate this risk through the use of derivative hedging instruments and are now fully exposed to this risk. During the Creditor Protection Proceedings, however, in accordance with SOP 90-7, we
will record interest expense only to the extent that (i) interest will be paid during our Creditor Protection Proceedings, or (ii) it is probable that interest will be an allowed priority, secured or unsecured claim.

Equity Price Risk

The values of our equity
investments in several third party publicly traded companies are subject to market price volatility. These investments are generally in companies in the technology industry sector and are classified as available for sale. We typically do not attempt
to reduce or eliminate our market exposure on these securities.



129

##### Table of Contents

We also hold certain derivative instruments or warrants that are subject to market price volatility because their value is based on the common share price of
a publicly traded company. These derivative instruments are generally acquired in connection with original equipment manufacturer arrangements with strategic partners, or acquired through business acquisitions or divestitures.

For further information regarding our exposure to certain market risks, see Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk, in our 2008 Annual Report. Other than as noted above, there have been no significant changes in our financial instruments or market risk exposures from the amounts and descriptions disclosed therein.



|ITEM 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

Capitalized terms used in
this Item 4 of Part I and not otherwise defined, have the meaning set forth for such terms in the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this report.

Management Conclusions Concerning Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) (Mike S. Zafirovski and Paviter S. Binning,
respectively), pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as at June 30, 2009. Based on this evaluation, management, including the CEO and
CFO, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as at June 30, 2009 were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported as and when required and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is intended to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:



| |  |  | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that
receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may
not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

On January 14, 2009, we commenced the Creditor Protection Proceedings and adopted SOP 90-7. In connection with these events, during the first
quarter of 2009, we introduced processes to: (1) determine the Debtors pre- and post-petition liabilities and identify those liabilities subject to compromise; (2) assess certain claims received from creditors; and (3) determine
the proper accounting treatment required for contracts, liabilities and operating expenses, including restructuring activities and reorganization expenses during the pendency of the Creditor Protection Proceedings. Complexities exist in introducing
such processes given the multiple-jurisdiction element of our Creditor Protection Proceedings. These changes continued to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2009 or are reasonably likely to
continue to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting . Additional process changes may be necessary in the future. Management continues to take actions necessary to address the resources, processes and controls related to these
changes, while maintaining effective control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Capitalized terms used in this Part II and not otherwise defined, have the
meaning set forth for such terms in the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this report.



|ITEM 1. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

Creditor Protection
Proceedings: As discussed in Executive OverviewCreditor Protection Proceedings in the MD&A section of this report, on January 14, 2009, the Canadian Debtors obtained an order from the Canadian Court for creditor
protection and commenced ancillary proceedings under chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the U.S. Debtors filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and each of the EMEA Debtors obtained an administration order from
the English Court. After the Petition Date, the Israeli Debtors initiated similar proceedings in Israel. More recently, one of our French subsidiaries, Nortel Networks SA, was placed into secondary proceedings in France and Nortel Networks (CALA)
Inc. filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 in the United States Court and became a party to the Chapter 11 Proceedings. Generally, as a result, all actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment or repayment of liabilities of any
Debtor preceding the Petition Date, as well as pending litigation against any Debtor, are stayed as of the Petition Date. Absent further order of the applicable courts and subject to certain exceptions and, in Canada, potential time limits, no party
may take any action to recover on pre-petition claims against any Debtor.

Securities Class Action Claim against CEO and CFO:
On May 18, 2009, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging violations of federal securities law between the period of May 2, 2008 through September 17, 2008, against Mike
Zafirovski (Nortels President and CEO) and Pavi Binning (Nortels Chief Financial Officer and Chief Restructuring Officer). Although Nortel is not a named defendant, this lawsuit has been stayed as a result of the Creditor Protection
Proceedings.

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation Complaint: On July 17, 2009, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
(PBGC) provided a notice to NNI that the PBGC had determined under ERISA that: (i) the Nortel Networks Retirement Income Plan (the Pension Plan), a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by NNI, will be unable to pay
benefits when due; (ii) under Section 4042(c) of ERISA, the Pension Plan must be terminated in order to protect the interests of participants and to avoid any unreasonable increase in the liability of the PBGC insurance fund; and
(iii) July 17, 2009 was to be established as the date of termination of the Pension Plan. On the same date, the PBGC filed a complaint in the Middle District of Tennessee against NNI and the Retirement Plan Committee of the Nortel Networks
Retirement Income Plan seeking to proceed with termination of the Pension Plan, though this complaint was not served against us. NNI is working to voluntarily assign trusteeship of the plan to the PBGC and avoid further court involvement in the
termination process.

Other than referenced above, there have been no material developments in our material legal proceedings as previously
reported in our 2008 Annual Report and 2009 First Quarter Report. For additional discussion of other material legal proceedings, see Contingencies in note 20 of the accompanying unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial
statements.

|ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

Certain statements in this report
may contain words such as could, expect, may, should, will, anticipate, believe, intend, estimate, target, plan,
envision, seek and other similar language and are considered forward-looking statements or information under applicable securities laws. These statements are based on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts and
projections about the operating environment, economies and markets in which we operate. In addition, other written or oral statements that are considered forward-looking may be made by us or others on our behalf. These statements are subject to
important assumptions, risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and actual outcomes may be materially different. The Creditor Protection Proceedings are having a direct impact on our business and are exacerbating these risks and
uncertainties. In particular, the risks described herein and in our 2008 Annual Report could cause actual events to differ materially from those contemplated in forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we
do not have any intention or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the Risk Factors
section in our 2008 Annual Report which could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. The risks described in our 2008 Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties
not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The risks described in our 2008 Annual Report have not materially
changed other than as set forth below:

We may not be able to sell all of our businesses at favorable terms, or at all.

We have announced that we have determined that the best way to maximize the value of our businesses is to find buyers for our businesses
and we are currently undergoing an analysis to assess the strategic and economic value of several of our subsidiaries. In light of this analysis, we have started making decisions to cease operations in certain countries that are no longer considered
strategic or material to our business or where such losses cannot be supported or justified on an ongoing basis. We may not be able to stabilize the businesses and maximize the value of our businesses, successfully conclude ongoing discussions for
the sale of our other assets or businesses, realize our current estimate of the value of our assets and successfully consummate pending and future divestitures. Decisions to further limit investment in, or exit or dispose of, businesses may result
in the recording of additional charges. As part of our review, we look at the recoverability of tangible and intangible assets. Future market conditions may indicate these assets are not recoverable based on changes in forecasts of future business
performance and the estimated useful life of these assets, and this may trigger further write-downs of these assets which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We also must obtain various approvals for pending and future divestitures, including, without limitation, of the relevant courts and creditors and the
Canadian Monitor and U.K. Administrators. We may not receive the requisite approvals and even if we do, a dissenting holder of a claim against us may challenge and ultimately delay the final approval of pending and future divestitures. It is unclear
what distributions, if any, holders of claims against us would receive whether we are successful in selling our businesses, or if we are successful but do not receive the requisite approvals, or if we are not successful in selling our businesses.
