Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts in millions, except as noted)

(1) Basis of Presentation

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (Freescale Semiconductor) was incorporated in Delaware
on December 3, 2003 in preparation for the contribution and transfer by Motorola, Inc. (Motorola) of substantially all of its semiconductor businesses assets and liabilities to Freescale Semiconductor (the
Contribution) and an initial public offering (IPO) of Freescale Semiconductor Class A common stock. Freescale Semiconductor completed the Contribution in the second quarter of 2004 and the IPO on July 21, 2004.
Prior to the IPO, Freescale Semiconductor was a wholly owned subsidiary of Motorola. All of the Freescale Semiconductor Class B shares of common stock were held by Motorola until Motorola distributed its remaining ownership interest in us by means
of a special dividend to its common stockholders (the Distribution) on December 2, 2004 (the Distribution Date). We refer to Freescale Semiconductor and its combined predecessor companies and businesses as the
Company, we, us or our unless the context otherwise requires.

The Company and Motorola
entered into various agreements detailing the provisions of the Contribution and the separation of the Company from Motorola, and related tax, purchase and supply, transition services and employee matters. See Note 3 for additional discussion.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 29, 2006 and for the three and nine month periods ended
September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005 are unaudited, with the December 31, 2005 amounts included herein derived from the audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of September 29, 2006 and
for all periods presented. Certain amounts reported in previous periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. These condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our December 31, 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for
the three and nine months ended September 29, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(2) Proposed Merger

On September 15, 2006, the
Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) by and among the Company, Firestone Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Parent), and Firestone Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware
corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, and as a result, the Company will continue as the surviving
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the Merger). Parent is an entity controlled by a consortium of private equity funds. The consortium is led by The Blackstone Group, and includes The Carlyle Group, funds advised by
Permira Advisers, LLC and Texas Pacific Group (collectively, the Participants). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Class A common stock and Class B common
stock of the Company, other than shares owned by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, or by any stockholders who are entitled to and who properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law, will be canceled and will be automatically converted into
the right to receive $40.00 in cash, without interest. In addition, substantially all restricted stock units (RSUs) will be converted into the right to receive $40.00 per share, and substantially all stock options and stock appreciation
rights (SARs) will be cancelled in exchange for a gross cash payment equal to the difference between the merger price of $40.00 per share and the exercise price for each stock option and SAR, multiplied by the number of such stock
options and SARs.

##### Table of Contents

Pending the receipt of stockholder approval, as well as satisfaction of other customary closing
conditions, including foreign regulatory approvals, the Merger is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 2006 or the first quarter of 2007. The Company filed its definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
October 19, 2006. The Company will hold a special meeting of stockholders to vote on the Merger on November 13, 2006. The Company filed its Hart-Scott-Rodino notification with the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice on
October 4, 2006 and early termination of the applicable waiting period has been granted.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger
Agreement and subject to any applicable terms and conditions, the Company expects to undertake a tender offer for its $350 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior notes and its $500 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% senior
notes, with payment for any such tendered notes being paid in connection with the closing of the Merger. The early retirement of debt will result in the recognition of unamortized debt issuance costs as well as any premium charges associated with
early retirement. The Company will also liquidate its marketable securities and repatriate cash from foreign subsidiaries. As a result, the Company has reclassified its Marketable securities to current assets and could possibly incur tax liabilities
associated with the repatriation of cash from foreign subsidiaries. Finally, the Company will accelerate the recognition of stock compensation expense resulting from the vesting of our outstanding and unvested stock options, RSUs and SARs.

The Tax Sharing Agreement between the Company and Motorola requires the Company to indemnify Motorola against all tax related liabilities
incurred by Motorola relating to the Contribution or the Distribution to the extent caused by an acquisition of our assets or stock (other than pursuant to the Contribution), or other actions by us, such as this Merger. These liabilities include the
tax-related liability (calculated without regard to any net operating loss or other tax attribute of Motorola) that would result if the Contribution or the Distribution of the common stock of the Company held by Motorola to the Motorola shareholders
failed to qualify as a tax-free transaction. We do not believe the Merger will trigger these tax liabilities.

During the three months
ended September 29, 2006, the Company recorded Merger costs of $7 million consisting of accounting, investment banking, legal and other costs associated with the proposed Merger.

(3) Relationship with Motorola

The Company designs, produces and sells semiconductors to Motorola.
Transactions between the Company and Motorola have been identified in the financial statements as transactions between related parties through the expiration of substantially all of the services provided under the transition services agreement,
which occurred during the third quarter of 2005.

After the completion of the Contribution in the second quarter of 2004, the expense
allocation for certain corporate services ceased, and the Company began purchasing such services from Motorola under the terms of the transition services agreement. Under the terms of that transition services agreement, the Company also received
compensation for services provided to Motorola in certain locations. The Company recorded $8 million in expenses under the transition services agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The amounts charged to Motorola totaled $4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and were reported as a reduction to the cost classification to which such expenses were recognized, primarily Research and development.

Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates its earnings per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per
Share. Basic earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net earnings of the Company. For the three and nine months ended September 29, 2006, approximately
2 million of the Companys stock options were excluded from the calculation of Diluted earnings per common share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. These options could become dilutive in the future if the average share
price increases.

The shares used in the computation of the Companys basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows:



|                                                                                          |  |                    |  |                    |  |                    |  |

Depreciation expense was approximately $137 million and $149 million for the three months ended September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively, and $412 million and $477 million for the nine months
ended September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively. Accumulated depreciation was approximately $1.5 billion and $1.1 billion at September 29, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

(5) Debt

During the third quarter of 2006, a foreign
subsidiary of the Company borrowed $38 million under a revolving loan agreement to repay an intercompany loan. The term of the loan is one year and is extended by one year automatically on every anniversary of the original execution date (June 1,
2002). The interest rate on the loan is based on the one-month Tokyo Interbank Offered rate (TIBOR) plus a spread, which was 0.15% as of September 29, 2006. As of September 29, 2006, $38 million was outstanding under the loan.

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company announced the redemption of its outstanding $400 million aggregate principal amount of Floating
Rate Notes. The redemption took place on July 17, 2006 at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the redemption date. Interest on the
Floating Rate Notes ceased to accrue on the redemption date, and the only remaining right of the holders after the redemption date is to receive the redemption price. The Company incurred a charge of $15 million to Interest expense in the third
quarter of 2006 in connection with the redemption, $7 million of which is a non-cash charge associated with the recognition of unamortized debt issuance costs. Funds from the short-term investment portfolio were used to finance the $400 million
early redemption and the $8 million cost associated with the call premium.

During the first quarter of 2006, the Company entered into an
unsecured senior revolving credit facility with a committed capacity of $500 million (including a letter of credit and swing line loan sub-facilities) (Credit Agreement). Subject to customary conditions, the Company may request an
increase in the aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement of up to an additional $500 million for a total commitment of up to $1 billion. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate dependent on our credit
ratings at the time of borrowing. In addition, the Company will pay quarterly facility commitment fees at rates based upon our credit ratings.

The Credit Agreement expires on March 7, 2011, at which time all outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement will be due and payable. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital purposes, capital
expenditures, investments, share repurchases, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. At September 29, 2006, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement requires compliance with conditions precedent that must be satisfied prior to any borrowing, as well as ongoing compliance with
specified affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants relating to maintenance of specified financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 29, 2006. The Credit Agreement also provides for
customary events of default, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, failure to comply with covenants and the occurrence of cross-defaults relating to indebtedness in amounts in excess of $50 million.

The Company had an aggregate principal amount of $850 million in senior notes outstanding at September 29, 2006, consisting of (i) $350 million
of 6.875% senior notes maturing in 2011, and (ii) $500 million of 7.125% senior notes maturing in 2014. The notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally with all of the Companys existing and future unsecured senior debt and
senior to all of its future subordinated debt.

In September 2006, subsequent to the announcement of the Merger Agreement (see Note 2),
Standard & Poors and Fitch downgraded the Companys credit ratings to BB+ with a negative outlook. The Company believes that these downgrades will not have a material adverse impact on its liquidity. In addition,
Moodys has a negative outlook on the Companys credit rating of Ba2; however, the Company believes that if Moodys were to downgrade its rating, this action would not be expected to have a material adverse impact on the ability to
borrow under the Credit Agreement.

The notes have restrictive covenants that limit the Companys ability to, among other things,
incur additional debt and issue preferred stock, pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, the Companys capital stock, transfer or sell assets, and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the Companys
assets. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 29, 2006.

(6) Risk Management

Commodity Hedging Contracts

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company began hedging its
purchases of gold wire for assembly in order to reduce its exposure to adverse commodity price fluctuations related to these purchases. The Company will use derivative financial instruments, primarily forward contracts and options, to hedge its gold
wire price exposures. Other financial instruments that may be incorporated into the commodity hedging program include commodity swaps, futures contracts, index swaps, zero cost collars or other derivatives. The Company does not purchase or hold any
derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The financial instruments that are designated and expected to be highly effective
at meeting the risk reduction and correlation criteria are recorded using hedge accounting, as defined by FASB SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133), as amended.
All of the gold hedge derivative instruments in this program are designated as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133. Accordingly, all periodic changes in the fair value of the derivatives designated as hedges that are considered to be effective,
as defined, are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) until the underlying gold wire is consumed in production, at which time the cumulative amount recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) is released and
recognized in earnings. The Company is exposed to the risk that periodic changes will not be effective, as defined, or that the derivatives will no longer qualify for hedge accounting. Ineffectiveness, as defined, results when the change in the
total fair value of the derivative instrument does not exactly equal the change in the fair value of the Companys expected future cash outlay to purchase gold wire. To the extent that the periodic changes in the fair value of the derivative
are not effective, that ineffectiveness is recorded in earnings through Other, net. Likewise, if a hedge ceases to qualify for hedge accounting, those periodic changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recorded to Other, net in the
Statement of Operations in the period of the change.

At September 29, 2006, the Company had gold forward contracts with a notional
amount of 14,000 Toz outstanding in connection with its gold hedging program. The unrealized loss on these derivative contracts was less than $1 million and is recorded in Accrued liabilities and other and in Accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss). This entire amount is expected to be transferred out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized within earnings over the twelve months following September 29, 2006. For the three and nine months ended September 29,
2006, the ineffectiveness associated with derivatives designated as cash flow hedges in the gold hedging program resulted in a de minimis amount.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has several stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company provides an employee stock
purchase plan (ESPP) and makes awards of stock options and RSUs. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for awards granted under those plans using the intrinsic value method of expense recognition, which follows the
recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB Opinion No. 25) and related interpretations. Compensation cost, if any, was
recorded based on the excess of the quoted market price at grant date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, there was no compensation expense resulting from the issuance of the
stock options as the exercise price was equivalent to the fair market value at the date of grant.

Effective January 1, 2006, the
Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments (SFAS No. 123(R)). The Company has elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS
No. 123(R) and, accordingly, prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123(R). Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2006 includes:
(i) compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 and previously
presented in the pro forma footnote disclosures), and (ii) compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the new provisions of SFAS
No. 123(R)).

The estimated value of the Companys stock-based awards (including stock options, RSUs and ESPP shares), less
expected forfeitures, is amortized over the awards respective vesting period on a straight-line basis. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), Earnings before income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change was reduced by $14
million and $45 million, and Net earnings was reduced by $13 million and $36 million for the three and nine months ended

activities during the nine months ended September 29, 2006 for excess tax benefits recognized in association with stock option exercises and RSU vesting in certain foreign locations.

The pro forma amounts above include the impact of recognizing compensation expense related to
stock options and the look-back option pursuant to the employee stock purchase plan.

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), a
one-time, non-cash benefit of approximately $7 million for estimated future forfeitures of unvested restricted stock previously expensed was recorded in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as a cumulative effect of
accounting change, net of tax. Pursuant to APB Opinion No. 25, stock-based compensation expense was not reduced for estimated future forfeitures, but instead was reversed upon actual forfeiture.

Stock-based Compensation Plans

On
June 18, 2004, the Company adopted the 2004 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2004 Omnibus Plan). The 2004 Omnibus Plan permits stock option grants, annual management incentive awards, stock grants, restricted stock grants, RSU grants,
performance stock grants, performance cash awards, SARs, and cash awards. The aggregate number of shares of the Companys Class A common stock that could be issued under the 2004 Omnibus Plan was not to exceed 48 million.

Prior to the Distribution, compensation expense, if any, relating to Motorola options and RSUs held by Freescale employees was allocated by Motorola to
Freescale on a specific employee basis. At the Distribution, all unvested options outstanding under Motorolas stock-based compensation plans that were held by the Companys employees were converted to options to acquire Class A
common stock of the Company. The conversion rate was based on a formula that maintained the intrinsic value of the original unvested portion of the Motorola grant and maintained the fair value of the grant before and after the conversion. As a
result, under this formula, using the average closing prices at the Distribution Date of Motorola and Freescale shares of stock, the Company issued a total of approximately 23 million unvested Freescale stock options at an average exercise
price of $9.91 per share. These issuances will maintain the original fair value calculated at their original grant date from Motorola. Any related compensation expense (or pro forma compensation expense) will continue to be recognized (or disclosed)
over the remaining employee service period.

On April 29, 2005, the Company adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2005 (the 2005
Omnibus Plan). Upon adoption of the 2005 plan, the Company ceased making grants under the 2004 Omnibus Plan, except for awards made from expired, forfeited or cancelled shares.

The 2005 Omnibus Plan permits grants of stock options, SARs, restricted stock, RSUs, performance stock, performance RSUs, performance cash awards, annual
management incentive awards and other stock or cash awards. The aggregate number of shares of the Companys Class A common stock that may be issued under the 2005 Omnibus Plan may not exceed 30 million. The number of shares that may be
issued under the 2005 Omnibus Plan for awards other than stock options or SARs may not exceed 20 million.

Stock Options

The exercise price of each stock option granted under the Companys 2005 Omnibus Plan equals 100% of the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The majority of the options have a contractual life of seven years and vest
ratably over four years from the date of grant. Stock options granted under the former 2004 Omnibus Plan had the same characteristics as the current plan, with the exception that the shares vest ratably over a period of three as opposed to four
years from the date of grant, and they have a contractual life of ten years as opposed to seven. Any compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee service period. The exercise of stock options is satisfied with shares
of Treasury stock to the extent available.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing method. The weighted average assumptions used in the model are outlined in the following table:

The computation of the expected volatility assumptions used in the Black-Scholes calculations for
grants are based on historical volatilities and implied volatilities of peer companies. The Company utilizes the volatilities of peer companies due to its lack of extensive history. When establishing its expected life assumptions, the Company used
the simplified method prescribed in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Shared-Based Payment, for companies that do not have adequate historical data.

The total
intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2006 was approximately $94 million and $161 million, respectively. At September 29, 2006, the Company had approximately $84 million of total
unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock option plans that will be recognized over the weighted average period of one year. See Note 2 regarding the Merger, which would affect the timing of the
recognition of this expense. Cash received from stock option exercises was approximately $52 million and $94 million during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2006.

Restricted Stock Units

RSU grants are rights to shares of the Companys Class A common
stock. The grants are restricted and therefore subject to substantial risk of forfeiture and to restrictions on sale or other transfer by the employee. RSUs are converted to shares of Class A common stock upon vesting on a one-for-one basis.
The RSUs vest ratably over a four-year period and

are not entitled to dividends or voting rights, if any, until they are vested. The cost of the RSU awards is determined using the fair value of the
Companys Class A common stock on the date of grant, net of expected forfeitures, and compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee service period.

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company granted performance-based RSUs to certain employees under the 2005 Omnibus Plan. The number of RSUs that
may be earned pursuant to such awards can range from none to twice the number of target RSUs established at the grant date based upon achievement of specified levels of the Companys 2006 Net sales. The performance RSUs, to the extent earned,
vest over a two-year service period. All other terms and restrictions are generally consistent with other RSUs granted by the Company.

All
unvested Motorola RSUs held by the Companys employees on the date of Distribution were cancelled and reissued as RSUs for Class A common stock of the Company. A total of approximately 350 thousand RSUs were issued at $17.93 per share
at the Distribution Date. The compensation expense related to these RSUs will continue to be recognized over the remaining employee service period.

A summary of changes in RSUs outstanding during the nine months ended September 29, 2006 is presented below:

At
September 29, 2006, the Company had approximately $204 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to RSU grants that will be recognized over the weighted average period of 2 years. See Note 2
regarding the Merger, which would affect the timing of the recognition of this expense.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company initiated an ESPP after the Distribution. Under the plan, eligible participants are allowed to purchase shares of the Class A common
stock through payroll deductions of up to 10% of compensation on an after-tax basis. The price an employee pays per share is 85% of the lower of the fair market value of Freescales Class A common stock on the close of the first trading
day or last trading day of the purchase period. The plan has two purchase periods, the first one from February 1 through July 31 and the second one from August 1 through January 31. The issuances of Class A common stock
under the ESPP are satisfied with shares of Treasury stock to the extent available. The aggregate number of shares of the Companys Class A common stock that may be issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan may not exceed 6 million.

Compensation expense is measured as the fair value of the employees purchase rights during the look-back option period
as calculated under the Black-Scholes option pricing method. The weighted average assumptions used in the model are outlined in the following table:



|                                                 |  |                                              |      |

We have treated the ESPP as a compensatory plan and have recorded compensation expense of
approximately $3 million and $11 million for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2006 in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R).

In February 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-4, Classification of
Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement upon Occurrence of a Contingent Event (FSP FAS 123(R)-4). FASB Staff Position FSP FAS 123(R)-4 amends SFAS No. 123(R) to require
evaluation of the probability of occurrence of a contingent cash settlement event in determining whether the underlying options or similar instruments issued as employee compensation should be classified as liabilities or equity. On the date the
contingent event

becomes probable of occurring the award must be recognized as a liability. On that date, the company recognizes a share-based liability equal to the portion
of the award attributed to past service and any provision for accelerated vesting, multiplied by the fair value of the award on that date. The Merger described in Note 2 is the contingent event which would result in cash settlement of the
Companys outstanding stock options, RSUs and SARs. The Company does not believe the Merger is considered probable under FSP FAS 123(R)-4 at this time, due to the existence of certain unfulfilled conditions, including the approval of the
proposed acquisition by the Companys stockholders, that must be satisfied before the transaction is concluded.

(8) Income Taxes

Income taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in the accompanying financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual
effective tax rate. As of the end of the third quarter, the estimated annualized effective tax rate for 2006 is 6%. The 6% estimated annualized effective tax rate for 2006 excludes benefits of $11 million and $25 million recorded for discrete events
occurring in the three and nine months ended September 29, 2006, respectively. The decline in the estimated annual effective tax rate from 9% in the third quarter of 2005 is a result of the changing mix of profitability in our domestic and
international entities, and the income tax impact for domestic earnings being offset against the Companys deferred tax valuation allowance, thereby lowering the worldwide effective rate. Our estimated annual effective tax rate is less than the
statutory rate of 35% primarily because (i) we did not record any Income tax expense on domestic earnings due to the utilization of deferred tax assets, which are subject to a full valuation allowance; and (ii) the mix of earnings and
losses by taxing jurisdictions and foreign tax rate differentials.

During the third quarter of 2006, the Company reduced its valuation
allowance associated with the deferred tax assets of its subsidiary in Hong Kong. This subsidiary emerged from a three-year cumulative loss position in the current quarter. The Company reduced the valuation allowance because it believes it will more
likely than not realize a portion of the deferred tax assets of this subsidiary based on estimates of future taxable income and the evaluation of other evidence pertaining to realization. This event resulted in a one-time, non-cash Income tax
benefit in the third quarter of 2006 of $8 million. In addition, the Companys subsidiary in Singapore was granted a reduction in its statutory tax rate in connection with a favorable change in its tax status. This event resulted in a one-time,
Income tax benefit in the third quarter of 2006 of $3 million.

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company reduced its valuation
allowance associated with its deferred tax assets of its subsidiary in the United Kingdom. The Company reduced the valuation allowance because the Company believes it will more likely than not realize a portion of the deferred tax assets of the
foreign subsidiary. This change is primarily due to a revision in the financing of the foreign subsidiary, resulting in increased estimates of the foreign entitys future taxable income. This event resulted in a one-time, non-cash Income tax
benefit in the second quarter of 2006 of $10 million.

During the second quarter of 2006, the State of Texas adopted an amendment to its
franchise tax law to be effective January 1, 2007. The amended Texas tax, which is based on taxable gross margin, is considered an income tax under FASB SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS
No. 109). Because of the amendment to the tax law, the Company recognized a $4 million one-time, non-cash Income tax benefit during the second quarter of 2006, primarily as a result of recording deferred taxes for research and development
credits permitted under the new legislation.

As of September 29, 2006, the Company had valuation allowances of $508 million against
its net deferred tax assets in the U.S., and valuation allowances of $56 million against net deferred tax assets of certain foreign subsidiaries, to reflect the deferred tax asset at the net amount that is more likely than not to be realized. A
portion of these valuation allowances pertains to net operating loss carryforwards, which include a tax benefit attributable to the exercise of employee stock options and vesting of RSUs of $71 million as of December 31, 2005, primarily related
to activities in the U.S. The valuation allowance on the tax benefit attributable to the exercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs will be reduced in the period in which the Company realizes a benefit on its income tax return from a reduction of
income taxes payable attributable to the utilization of these losses. When realized, the tax benefit of these losses will be accounted for as a credit to Stockholders equity rather than as a reduction of Income tax expense.

The Company potentially may determine it will be able to realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets in the U.S. in the foreseeable future. Upon
such determination an adjustment to the valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets would cause a material increase to Net earnings in the period such determination is made. Significant management judgment is required in determining the
period in which the reversal of a valuation allowance should occur. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, in making this determination, including historical income, projected future income, the expected timing of
the reversals of existing temporary differences and the implementation of tax-planning strategies.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Income Tax Uncertainties
(FIN 48). FIN 48 defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as more-likely-than-not to be sustained by the taxing authority. The recently issued literature also
provides guidance on the derecognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties. FIN 48 also includes guidance concerning accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim periods
and increases the level of disclosures associated with any recorded income tax uncertainties.

FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The differences between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption will be accounted for as a cumulative-effect
adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting the provisions of FIN 48 on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

Leases

The Company leases certain office,
factory and warehouse space, land, and information technology and other equipment under principally noncancellable operating leases expiring through 2016. Rental expense, net of sublease income, for the nine months ended September 29, 2006 was
$34 million, as compared to $46 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Future minimum lease payments of such operating leases, net of minimum sublease rentals, for the fourth quarter of 2006 and each of the five years subsequent
to December 31, 2006 are $13 million, $44 million, $33 million, $27 million, $26 million and $21 million, respectively, and $66 million thereafter. Minimum sublease income in 2007 is approximately $3 million. Sublease income after 2007 is
minimal.

As of the nine months ended September 29, 2006, the Company had $25 million in capital leases. Future minimum lease payments
under capital leases for the fourth quarter of 2006 and each of five years subsequent to December 31, 2006 are $2 million, $9 million, $8 million, $6 million, $2 million and $1 million, respectively, and $1 million thereafter.

Other Commitments

In June 2002, the Company
entered into an arrangement with two other semiconductor manufacturers to jointly develop 300 millimeter technology and share other common operating expenses of a fabrication facility located in Crolles, France. Under the arrangement, which expires
in June 2007, each party is responsible for funding specific allocations of operations, research and development expenses, as well as related capital expenditures and output from the facility. Additionally, in January 2005, the arrangement was
expanded to include similar cost sharing provisions to include packaging and test technologies. These costs are not fixed and determinable at September 29, 2006.

Product purchase commitments associated with our strategic manufacturing relationships include take or pay provisions based on volume commitments for work in progress and forecasted demand based on 18-month rolling
forecasts, which are adjusted monthly. The commitment under these relationships is $180 million as of September 29, 2006.

The Company
has multi-year commitments under various software, service and supply contracts requiring payments for the fourth quarter of 2006 and each of five years subsequent to December 31, 2006 of $76 million, $143 million, $122 million, $73 million,
$22 million and $14 million, respectively, and $14 million thereafter.

Environmental

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA, or Superfund), and equivalent state law,
Motorola has been designated as a Potentially Responsible Party by the United States Environmental Protection Agency with respect to certain waste sites with which the Companys operations may have had direct or indirect involvement. Such
designations are made regardless of the extent of Motorolas involvement. Pursuant to the master separation and distribution agreement, the Company has indemnified Motorola for these liabilities going forward. These claims are in various stages
of administrative or judicial proceedings. They include demands for recovery of past governmental costs and for future investigations or remedial actions. The remedial efforts include environmental cleanup costs and communication programs. In many
cases, the dollar amounts of the claims have not been specified and have been asserted against a number of other entities for the same cost recovery or other relief as was asserted against the Company. The Company accrues costs associated with
environmental matters when they become probable and

reasonably estimable. Due to the uncertain nature of these matters, the actual costs that will be incurred will differ from the amounts accrued, perhaps
significantly.

Litigation

The
Company is a defendant in various lawsuits, including intellectual property suits, and is subject to various claims which arise in the normal course of business.

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including tort and contractual disputes, claims before the United States Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission and other employee grievances, and intellectual property litigation and infringement claims. Intellectual property litigation and infringement claims could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling our products.
Under our agreements with Motorola, we will indemnify Motorola for certain liabilities related to our business.

Between September 18
and October 13, 2006, six purported class action petitions were filed in the District Court of Travis County, Texas in connection with the announcement of the MergerGerber v. Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., et al., Cause No.
D-1-GN-06-003501; Lifshitz v. Michel Mayer, et al., Cause No. D-1-GN-06-003585; Warner v. Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. et al., Cause No. D-1-GN-06-003673; Tansey v. Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., et al., Cause No. D-1-GN-06-003685; Hockstein v.
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., et al., Cause No. D-1-GN-06-003717; and International Union of Operating Engineers Local No. 825 Pension Fund v. Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., et al., Cause No. D-1-GN-06-003918. All of the petitions name
Freescale and the current members of our board of directors as defendants. The Gerber and Lifshitz petitions also name The Blackstone Group, The Carlyle Group, funds advised by Permira Advisers LLC, and Texas Pacific Group as defendants. The
Lifshitz and Hockstein petitions also name B. Kenneth West, a former member of our board of directors, as a defendant. Plaintiffs purport to represent stockholders of Freescale who are similarly situated with them. Among other things, the petitions
allege that our directors, in approving the proposed merger breached fiduciary duties owed to our stockholders because they failed to take steps to maximize the value to our public stockholders. The petitions further allege that The Blackstone
Group, The Carlyle Group, funds advised by Permira Advisers LLC, and Texas Pacific Group aided and abetted these alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. The petitions allege that the Companys directors will receive substantial benefits from the
acquisition that would not be shared with other stockholders. The petitions further allege that the directors who approved the transaction were not sufficiently independent and disinterested, and did not conduct a competitive auction. The petitions
also allege that the Company took impermissible steps to hinder other potential acquirers, including a buyout group led by Kohlberg, Kravis Roberts & Co. Some of the petitions also allege that the Company failed to disclose certain details
regarding the proposed Merger and the process leading up to the Merger. The petitions seek class certification, damages, and certain forms of equitable relief, including enjoining the consummation of the Merger. On October 12, 2006, the Company
and the current members of the board of directors filed answers to five petitions in which the Company generally denied the allegations. The Company moved to consolidate the actions that same day. The Company intends to take similar actions with
respect to the petition filed on October 13, 2006 by the International Union of Operating Engineers Local No. 825 Pension Fund. We believe that plaintiffs allegations are without merit and intend to vigorously contest these actions.
There can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in our defense of these actions.

Other Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company regularly executes contracts that contain customary indemnification provisions. Additionally, the Company
executes other contracts considered outside the ordinary course of business which contain indemnification provisions. Examples of these types of agreements include business divestitures, business acquisitions, settlement agreements and third-party
performance guarantees. In each of these circumstances, payment by the Company is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to
challenge the other partys claims. Further, the Companys obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of duration, typically not in excess of 24 months, and/or amounts not in excess of the contract value, and in some
instances the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by the Company.

Historically, the Company has not
made significant payments for indemnification provisions contained in these agreements. At September 29, 2006, there was one contract executed outside the ordinary course of business containing indemnification obligations with a maximum amount
payable of $4 million. At September 29, 2006, the Company had accrued $4 million to cover known estimated indemnification obligations. The Company believes that if it were to incur additional losses with respect to any unknown matters at
September 29, 2006, such losses would not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(10) Reorganization of Businesses and Other

Beginning in 2000 and continuing through 2005, the Company implemented a series of plans to reduce its workforce, discontinue product lines, exit
businesses and consolidate manufacturing and administrative operations in an effort to reduce costs and simplify its product portfolio. Exit costs primarily consist of facility closure costs. Employee separation costs consist primarily of ongoing
termination benefits, principally severance payments. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates its accruals for exit costs and employee separation costs to ensure that the accruals are still appropriate. In certain circumstances, accruals are
no longer required because of efficiencies in carrying out the plans or because employees previously identified for separation resigned from the Company unexpectedly and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen
when the original plans were initiated. The Company reverses accruals to income when it is determined they are no longer required.

All
reorganization of business programs initiated prior to 2004 were finalized, fully expensed and paid by the end of the third quarter of 2004. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company announced further plans to streamline its operations and
reduce selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, during the third quarter of 2005 the Company initiated actions to reorganize certain operations as a result of a customer decision to discontinue utilizing certain products provided
by the Company.

2005 Initiated Reorganization of Business Program

In the third quarter of 2005, the Company initiated plans to
reorganize certain of its operations in response to a customers decision to discontinue utilizing certain products provided by the Company. The reorganization resulted in an employee separation program and the impairment of certain equipment.

The following table displays a roll-forward from January 1, 2006 to September 29, 2006 of the accruals established related to
the 2005 employee separation program discussed above.

As of the end of the third quarter of 2006, the Company paid $9 million in employee separation
costs. The remaining $5 million accrual was reversed due to approximately 80 employees previously identified for separation who resigned unexpectedly and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the
original plans were approved.

2004 Initiated Reorganization of Business Program

In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company announced plans to reduce costs through an employee separation program. The remaining accrual of $1 million at

At January 1, 2005, the Company had an accrual of $70 million for employee separation costs,
representing the severance costs for approximately 460 employees, 260 of which were manufacturing employees and 200 were non-manufacturing employees.

these separated employees. For these separated employees, of which 430 were manufacturing employees and 260 were non-manufacturing employees, an additional $3 million and $1 million was paid in the fourth quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of
2006, respectively, for healthcare costs and severance payments. The remaining accrual balance was reversed to Cost of sales in the fourth quarter of 2005.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations for the three months
and nine months ended September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005. This commentary should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes in Item 1: Unaudited Financial Statements, as
well as our consolidated and combined financial statements and related notes thereto and managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2005.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as expects, anticipates, plans, believes, estimates, will or words of similar meaning and include statements regarding the plans and expectations for the
fourth quarter, the year and the future. These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this report. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future developments or otherwise. Although we believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our goals will be achieved. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from estimates
or projections contained in the forward-looking statements are described further in Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A. of our December 31, 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We currently believe that the Merger will close in the fourth quarter of 2006 or the first quarter of 2007. However, the Merger may be delayed or may
not be completed at all due to a number of contingencies.

Overview

On September 15, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) by and among the Company,
Firestone Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Parent), and Firestone Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub). Pursuant to the terms of the
Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, and as a result, the Company will continue as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the Merger). Parent is an entity controlled by a
consortium of private equity funds. The consortium is led by The Blackstone Group, and includes The Carlyle Group, funds advised by Permira Advisers, LLC and Texas Pacific Group (collectively, the Participants). Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of the Company, other than shares owned by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, or by any stockholders who are
entitled to and who properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law, will be canceled and will be automatically converted into the right to receive $40.00 in cash, without interest. In addition, substantially all restricted stock units
(RSUs) will be converted into the right to receive $40.00 per share, and substantially all stock options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) will be cancelled in exchange for a gross cash payment equal to the difference
between the merger price of $40.00 per share and the exercise price for each stock option and SAR, multiplied by the number of such stock options and SARs.

Pending the receipt of stockholder approval, as well as satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, including foreign regulatory approvals, the Merger is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 2006 or the
first quarter of 2007. The Company filed its definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 19, 2006. The Company will hold a special meeting of stockholders to vote on the Merger on November 13, 2006.
The Company filed its Hart-Scott-Rodino notification with the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice on October 4, 2006 and early termination of the applicable waiting period has been granted.

Our Business. Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. is a leading global semiconductor company that provides embedded processing and connectivity
products to large, high-growth markets. We currently focus on providing products to the automotive, networking and wireless communications industries. Examples of embedded processors include microcontrollers, digital signal processors and
communications processors. In addition to our embedded processors, we also offer a portfolio of complementary devices that facilitate connectivity between products, across networks and to real-world signals, such as sound, vibration and pressure.
These complementary devices include sensors, radio frequency semiconductors, power management and other analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. Through the combination of our embedded processors and complementary products, we are further able
to offer our customers platform-level products, which incorporate both semiconductors and software.

Our Business Groups. We operate our business through our three primary segments: the
Transportation and Standard Products Group (TSPG), the Networking and Computing Systems Group (NCSG) and the Wireless and Mobile Solutions Group (WMSG). TSPG provides products for the automotive electronics, industrial and other markets. NCSG
supplies products to the wired and wireless infrastructure and embedded computing markets. WMSG provides products for wireless mobile devices. In addition to these three segments, we have an Other business segment that includes all of our other
operations.

Revenues and Expenses. Our revenues are derived from the sale of our embedded processing and connectivity
products and the licensing of our intellectual property. Our business segments include both product and intellectual property revenues associated with the activities of each of the respective segments.

We currently manufacture a substantial portion of our products internally at our seven wafer fabrication facilities and two assembly and test facilities.
We track our Inventories and Cost of sales by using standard costs that are reviewed at least once a year. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. For the purposes of segment reporting, Cost of sales for each segment reflects
standard costs, adjustments to inventory balances and valuation reserves and an allocation of manufacturing variances incurred on an actual cost basis. The exceptions to this practice are facilities in production start-up, which are allocated to the
Other segment.

Gross margin is greatly influenced by our utilization. Utilization refers only to our wafer fabrication facilities and is
based on the capacity of the installed equipment. As our utilization rate increases, there is operating leverage in our business as our fixed manufacturing costs are spread over increased output. Our utilization rate for the third quarter of 2006
was higher than the rate experienced in the prior year.

Direct expenses incurred by a segment are included in that segments results.
Shared research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative costs are allocated to each segment based upon the specific activities being performed for each segment, where possible. Remaining costs are charged using a
specifically identifiable methodology or other reasonable basis of allocation. Certain corporate expenses are in the Other segment.

Our Challenges That Lie Ahead. Going forward, our business will be highly dependent on demand for electronic content in automobiles, networking and wireless infrastructure equipment, cellular handsets and other electronic
devices. In addition, we operate in an industry that is highly cyclical and subject to constant and rapid technological change, product obsolescence, price erosion, evolving standards, short product life-cycles and wide fluctuations in product and
material supply and demand. For more information on our challenges that lie ahead, see Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A. of our December 31, 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Third Quarter Highlights

Net sales for the third
quarter of 2006 increased by 12% over the same time period in 2005, primarily attributable to volume-driven increases in WMSG. WMSG had an increase of 19% in Net sales to $540 million for the three months ended September 29, 2006. Gross margins
rose to 46.1% in the third quarter of 2006, as compared to 42.9% in the third quarter of 2005. These increases were primarily due to higher volumes in our factories, improved operating efficiencies, and lower depreciation expense versus the prior
year. Gross margins also benefited from higher intellectual property revenue and an improved segment and product portfolio mix, as compared to the prior year. In addition, our research and development expenses were lower in the third quarter of
2006, as compared to the prior year due to the receipt of $17 million in government grants.

Offsetting these improvements was an increase
in stock-based compensation expense resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) which reduced our Operating earnings by approximately $14 million and $45 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006, respectively. We also incurred a
$15 million charge related to the retirement of our Floating Rate Notes and costs of $7 million consisting of accounting, investment banking, legal and other costs associated with the Merger.

We had a total benefit of $11 million in Income tax (benefit) expense for discrete events occurring in the third quarter of 2006. We reduced the
valuation allowance associated with the deferred tax assets of one of our foreign subsidiaries. This event resulted in a one-time, non-cash tax benefit of $8 million. In addition, we recognized a $3 million one-time, non-cash tax benefit primarily
as a result of a statutory tax rate reduction for one of the Companys foreign subsidiaries resulting from a favorable change in the foreign subsidiarys tax status.

Three Months Ended September 29, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2005

Net Sales

The 12% increase in Net
sales and the 6% increase in Orders in the third quarter of 2006, as compared to the third quarter of 2005, were primarily due to a 19% increase in WMSG Net sales and a 10% increase in TSPG sales. The increase in WMSG Net sales was principally
driven by increased demand in the wireless market, partially offset by lower average selling prices. The increase in TSPG Net sales was principally driven by increased sensor and analog sales. Overall, we experienced a 26% increase in the volume of
sales over the third quarter of 2005. Intellectual property revenue also increased during the period, representing approximately 5% and 3% of Net sales in the three months ended September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively.
Finally, revenues to our distributors increased 25% in the current period as compared to the third quarter of 2005. Distribution inventory rose slightly to 10.5 weeks of sales, which remains below the 2005 average.

Gross Margin

Our Gross margin increased $124 million
to 46.1% of Net sales, for the three months ended September 29, 2006, as compared to 42.9% of Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in Gross margin was primarily due to an increase in our utilization rate
and improved operating efficiencies in the third quarter of 2006 over the third quarter of 2005. Gross margins also benefited from an increase in intellectual property revenues and an improved segment and product portfolio mix, as compared to the
prior year. As noted above, we also experienced a higher level of distributor sales in the third quarter of 2006, which typically generate higher margins. The overall increase in Net sales and a reduction in depreciation expense also contributed to
the increase in Gross margin. Finally, we experienced approximately $1 million in payroll cost reductions in 2006 as a result of the reorganization of business activity in 2005. Offsetting these

factors, we had an increase in stock-based compensation in the third quarter of 2006 related to the expensing of stock options in connection with the
adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

Selling, General and Administrative

Our Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $21 million or 13% versus the prior year period to 11.2% of Net sales for the three months ended September 29, 2006, as compared to 11.0% of Net sales in
the three months ended September 30, 2005. After taking into consideration the increases in Net sales, the increase in Selling, general and administrative was due to: (i) an increased focus on a new sales strategy initiated in 2006, and
(ii) an increase in stock-based compensation related to expensing of stock options in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

Research and Development

Our Research and development expenses decreased $12 million, or 4%, over the prior year period to
18.4% of Net sales in the three months ended September 29, 2006, as compared to 21.4% of Net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2005. We experienced a decrease in Research and development expenses due to (i) an increase in
government grants of $16 million in the third quarter of 2006, as compared to the third quarter of 2005 and (ii) in-process research and development expenses of $5 million recorded in the prior year quarter. These decreases were partially
offset by an increase in stock-based compensation due to the expensing of stock options in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). We also had approximately $6 million in payroll cost reductions in 2006 as a result of the
reorganization of business activity in 2005.

Reorganization of businesses and other

In the third quarter of 2005, we initiated plans to reorganize certain of our operations in response to a customers decision to discontinue
utilizing certain products provided by us. The reorganization resulted in an employee separation program and the impairment of certain equipment, which was offset by a settlement with the customer. We recorded net reversals of $5 million for the
three months ended September 29, 2006 related to approximately 80 employees previously identified for separation who were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were approved or resigned unexpectedly and did not
receive severance.

Merger Expenses

In
the third quarter of 2006, we entered into the Merger Agreement, which we currently believe will close in the fourth quarter of 2006 or the first quarter of 2007. Costs associated with the Merger were $7 million for the three months ended
September 29, 2006 and include accounting, investment banking, legal and other costs.

Net Interest Income (Expense)

Our net Interest income increased $6 million in the three months ended September 29, 2006, as compared to the three months ended September 30,
2005. Net Interest income in the three months ended September 29, 2006 included Interest income of $40 million, partially offset by Interest expense of $33 million. Net Interest income in the three months ended September 30, 2005 included
Interest income of $23 million, offset by Interest expense of $22 million. The $17 million increase in Interest income over the prior period was primarily attributable to increased funds available for investment and increased interest rates. The $11
million increase in Interest expense over the prior year quarter was primarily due to the loss of $15 million incurred due to the full redemption of our Floating Rate Notes on July 17, 2006.

Gain on Sales of Investments and Businesses, Net

We
recorded a gain of $26 million related to the sale of our timing solutions business in the third quarter of 2005.

Other, Net

The increase in Other, net expenses for the three months ended September 29, 2006 over the prior year quarter was due to $5 million in equity losses
of non-consolidated investments.

Income Tax Expense

Our estimated annual effective tax rate was 6% for the three months ended September 29, 2006, excluding non-recurring, discrete events resulting in an $11 million non-cash benefit in the third quarter of 2006.
This compared to a 9%

estimated annual effective tax rate in the three months ended September 30, 2005. The decline in the estimated annual effective tax rate is a result of
the changing mix of profitability in the domestic and international entities. In addition, tax expense on our domestic profits is offset against the Companys deferred tax valuation allowance, thereby lowering the worldwide estimated annual
effective tax rate. Our estimated annual effective tax rate is less than the statutory rate of 35% for two primary reasons: (i) we did not record a tax expense on our domestic earnings due to the utilization of deferred tax assets, which are
subject to a full valuation allowance, and (ii) the mix of earnings and losses by taxing jurisdictions and foreign tax rate differentials.

During the third quarter of 2006, we reduced our valuation allowance associated with the deferred tax assets of our subsidiary in Hong Kong. The foreign subsidiary emerged from a three-year cumulative loss position in the current quarter.
We reduced the valuation allowance because we believe we will more likely than not realize a portion of the deferred tax assets of this subsidiary based on estimates of future taxable income and the evaluation of other evidence pertaining to
realization. This event resulted in a one-time, non-cash tax benefit in the third quarter of 2006 of $8 million. In addition, our subsidiary in Singapore was granted a reduction in its statutory tax rate in connection with a favorable change in its
tax status. This event resulted in a one-time, non-cash tax benefit in the third quarter of 2006 of $3 million.

Nine Months Ended September 29, 2006 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005

Net Sales

The 9% increase in Net sales and the 11%
increase in Orders in the first nine months of 2006, as compared to the first nine months of 2005, were primarily due to a 20% increase in WMSG Net sales. The increase in WMSG Net sales was principally driven by increased demand in the wireless
market, partially offset by lower average selling prices in all three segments, but primarily in the wireless market, as compared to the prior year. Overall, we experienced a 19% increase in volume of sales over the first nine months of 2005.
Intellectual property revenue also increased during the period and represented approximately 4% and 3% of Net sales in the nine months ended September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively. Finally, revenues to our distributors
increased 24% in the current period as compared to the first nine months of 2005.

Gross Margin

Our Gross margin increased $371 million to 45.8% of Net sales, for the nine months ended September 29, 2006, as compared to 41.3% of Net sales for
the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in Gross margin was primarily due to a significant increase in our utilization rate, improved operating efficiencies and a decrease in depreciation expense in the first nine months of 2006
over the first nine months of 2005. In addition, we had a higher level of distributor sales in the first nine months of 2006 which typically generate higher margins. We experienced approximately $3 million in payroll cost reductions in 2006 as a
result of the reorganization of business activity in 2005. Partially offsetting these factors, we had an increase in stock-based compensation in the first nine months of 2006 related to the expensing of stock options in connection with the adoption
of SFAS No. 123(R) and the effect of our annual grants in April 2006 and May 2005.

Selling, General and Administrative

Our Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $72 million or 15% versus the prior year to 11.7% of Net sales for the nine months ended
September 29, 2006, as compared to 11.1% of Net sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. After taking into consideration the increase in Net sales, the increase in Selling, general and administrative was due to: (i) an
increase in selling costs resulting from our global branding campaign launched during the second quarter of 2005, (ii) an increased focus on a new sales strategy initiated in 2006, and (iii) an increase in stock-based compensation related
to expensing of stock options in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) and the effect of our annual grants in April 2006 and May 2005.

Research and Development

Our Research and development expenses decreased $8 million over the prior year period to 18.8% of
Net sales in the nine months ended September 29, 2006, as compared to 20.7% of Net sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. We experienced a decrease in Research and development expenses due to an increase in government grants of
$15 million in the nine months ended September 29, 2006, as compared to the prior year period. In addition, we recorded in-process research and development expenses of $5 million in the prior year period. These decreases were partially off-set
by an increase in stock-based compensation due to the expensing of stock options in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) and the effect of our annual grants in April 2006 and May 2005. We also experienced approximately $18 million in
payroll cost reductions in 2006 as a result of the reorganization of business activity in 2005.

Reorganization of businesses and other

In the third quarter of 2005, we initiated plans to reorganize certain of our operations in response to a customers decision to discontinue
utilizing certain products provided by us. The reorganization resulted in an employee separation program and the impairment of certain equipment, which was offset by a settlement with the customer. We recorded net reversals of $5 million for the
nine months ended September 29, 2006 related to approximately 80 employees previously identified for separation who were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were approved or resigned unexpectedly and did not
receive severance.

A reorganization of business program was announced during the fourth quarter of 2004 to streamline operations and
reduce Selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded net charges of $13 million; of which $3 million was included in Cost of sales and $10 million was recorded under
Reorganization of businesses and other in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to employee separation costs. We did not record any charges related to reorganization of business activity during the first
nine months of 2006.

##### Table of Contents

Separation Expenses

Separation expenses were $10 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to none during the current period. These incremental,
non-recurring costs were directly related to the Contribution and subsequent separation from Motorola and include transaction taxes, professional fees, information technology and other services.

Merger Expenses

In the third quarter of 2006, we
entered into the Merger Agreement, which we currently believe will close in the fourth quarter of 2006 or the first quarter of 2007. Costs associated with the Merger were $7 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2006 and include
accounting, investment banking, legal and other costs.

Net Interest Income (Expense)

Our Interest income (expense), net increased $30 million in the nine months ended September 29, 2006, as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2005. Net Interest income in the nine months ended September 29, 2006 included Interest income of $109 million, partially offset by Interest expense of $82 million. Net Interest expense in the nine months ended September 30,
2005 included Interest expense of $62 million, partially offset by Interest income of $59 million. The $50 million increase in Interest income over the prior period was primarily attributable to increased funds available for investment and increased
interest rates. The $20 million increase in Interest expense over the prior period was primarily due to the $15 million loss related to the full redemption of our Floating Rate Notes on July 17, 2006, and partially due to a rise in interest
rates on our Floating Rate Notes.

Gain on Sales of Investments and Businesses, Net

We recorded a gain of $26 million related to the sale of our timing solutions business in the third quarter of 2005.

Other, Net

Other expenses decreased $4 million in
the nine months ended September 29, 2006, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to lower impairment charges of investments held in private companies accounted for as cost basis investments.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax
rate was 6% for the nine months ended September 29, 2006, excluding non-recurring, discrete events resulting in a $25 million non-cash benefit in the first nine months of 2006. This compared to a 9% effective tax rate in the nine months ended
September 30, 2005. The decline in the estimated annual effective tax rate is a result of the changing mix of profitability in the domestic and international entities. In addition, tax expense on our domestic profits is offset against the
Companys deferred tax valuation allowance, thereby lowering the worldwide estimated annual effective tax rate. Our estimated annual effective tax rate is less than the statutory rate of 35% for two primary reasons: (i) we did not record a
tax expense on our domestic earnings due to the utilization of deferred tax assets, which are subject to a full valuation allowance, and (ii) the mix of earnings and losses by taxing jurisdictions and foreign tax rate differentials.

We reduced the valuation allowances associated with two of our foreign subsidiaries during the nine months ended September 29, 2006. In the third
quarter of 2006, we reduced our valuation allowance associated with the deferred tax assets of our subsidiary in Hong Kong. The foreign subsidiary emerged from a three-year cumulative loss position in the current quarter. We reduced the valuation
allowance because we believe we will more likely than not realize a portion of the deferred tax assets of this subsidiary based on estimates of future taxable income and the evaluation of other evidence pertaining to realization. This event resulted
in a one-time, non-cash Income tax benefit in the third quarter of 2006 of $8 million. In addition, during the second quarter of 2006, we reduced our valuation allowance associated with our deferred tax assets of our subsidiary in the United
Kingdom. This event resulted in a one-time, non-cash Income tax benefit in the second quarter of 2006 of $10 million.

In addition to
reductions in valuation allowances, we recorded two other discrete events during the nine months ended September 29, 2006. Our subsidiary in Singapore was granted a reduction in its statutory tax rate in connection with a favorable change in
its tax status. This event resulted in a one-time, Income tax benefit in the third quarter of 2006 of $3 million. In addition, in the second quarter of 2006, the State of Texas adopted an amendment to its franchise tax law to be effective
January 1, 2007. As a result of this legislation, we recognized a $4 million one-time, non-cash Income tax benefit during the second quarter of 2006, primarily as a result of recording deferred taxes for research and development credits
permitted under the guidelines of the new legislation.

Cumulative effect of accounting change

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), a one-time, non-cash benefit of approximately $7 million for estimated future forfeitures of unvested restricted
stock previously expensed was recorded in the nine months ended September 29, 2006 as a cumulative effect of accounting change, net of tax. Pursuant to APB Opinion No. 25, stock-based compensation expense was not reduced for estimated
future forfeitures, but instead was reversed upon actual forfeiture.

Three months ended September 29, 2006 compared to three months ended September 30, 2005

The increase in TSPG Net sales is primarily attributable to growth in analog and sensors driven by advanced safety systems in the
automotive market and microcontroller growth through distribution. Overall, we experienced growth in distributor sales of 30% over the prior year quarter. TSPG Operating earnings increased $71 million in the third quarter of 2006, as compared to the
third quarter of 2005. The increase in Operating earnings was primarily due to an increase in distributor sales which are at higher margins, lower manufacturing costs and increased factory utilization. In addition, we experienced increased Operating
earnings due to a decrease in sales associated with our low margin printing business.

Three months ended September 29, 2006 compared to three months ended September 30, 2005

NCSG Net sales increased modestly during the third quarter of 2006 over the prior year period, primarily reflecting higher sales in the
wireless infrastructure and home and SOHO markets in the current period. In addition, we experienced a 13% increase in NCSG distributor sales in the third quarter of 2006 over the third quarter of 2005. These increases were partially offset by
(i) lost revenues due to a customer decision to discontinue utilizing certain products provided by the Company in the third quarter of 2005, and (ii) the sale of our timing solutions business in the third quarter of 2005. NCSG Operating
earnings increased $32 million in the third quarter of 2006, as compared to the third quarter of 2005, due to favorable product mix, lower manufacturing costs, increased factory utilization and lower research and development expenses.

Nine months ended September 29, 2006 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2005

Three months ended September 29, 2006 compared to three months ended September 30, 2005

In the third quarter of 2006, WMSG Net sales increased $85 million, as compared to the third quarter of 2005. WMSG Orders in the third
quarter of 2006 increased $77 million, as compared to the third quarter of 2005. The increase in Net sales is primarily due to a significant increase in product shipments to customers in the wireless market, particularly to Motorola, partially
offset by lower average selling prices due to pricing pressures. The increase in Orders is largely due to an increase in demand driven by our major customers. These increases are due to an increase in content growth with Motorola, particularly with
our RF and power management products. WMSG Operating earnings in the third quarter of 2006 were relatively consistent with those of the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher Net sales offset by lower average selling prices and higher research
and development investment costs.

Three months ended September 29, 2006 compared to three months ended September 30, 2005

In the third quarter of 2006, Other Net sales increased $13 million, as compared to the third quarter of 2005, primarily as a result of
the completion of support and maintenance requirements associated with the delivery of a portfolio of applications development tools, resulting in $11 million in revenues in the third quarter of 2006. The Operating loss was $9 million lower than the
third quarter of 2005 primarily due to (i) the $13 million increase in revenues, and (ii) a $5 million net reversal of restructuring charges, partially offset by $7 million in Merger expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2006.

In the first nine months of 2006, Other Net sales increased $10 million, as compared to the first nine months of 2005, primarily as a result of the
completion of support and maintenance requirements associated with a portfolio of applications development tools, resulting in $11 million in revenues in the third quarter of 2006. Other generated an Operating loss that was $24 million lower than
the first nine months of 2005. The decrease in the Operating loss was primarily attributable to (i) the $10 million increase in revenues, (ii) a $5 million net reversal of restructuring charges in the third quarter of 2006, and
(iii) $10 million in restructuring charges and $10 million in Separation expenses incurred during the first nine months of 2005, partially offset by $7 million in Merger expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2006.

Reorganization of Businesses and Other

Beginning in
2000 and continuing through 2005, we implemented a series of plans to reduce our workforce, discontinue product lines, exit businesses and consolidate manufacturing and administrative operations in an effort to reduce costs and simplify our product
portfolio. Exit costs primarily consist of facility closure costs. Employee separation costs consist primarily of ongoing termination benefits, principally severance payments. At each reporting date, we evaluate our accruals for exit costs and
employee separation costs to ensure that the accruals are still appropriate. In certain circumstances, accruals are no longer required because of efficiencies in carrying out the plans or because employees previously identified for separation
resigned from the Company unexpectedly and did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were initiated. We reverse accruals to income when it is determined they are no longer required.

As of the end of the third quarter of 2006, we paid $9 million in employee separation costs. The
remaining $5 million accrual was reversed due to approximately 80 employees previously identified for separation who were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were approved or resigned unexpectedly and did not receive
severance.

2004 Initiated Reorganization of Business Program

In the fourth quarter of 2004, we announced plans to reduce costs through an employee separation program. The remaining accrual of $1 million at December 31, 2005 related to this program was paid in the first
quarter of 2006.

certain of our operations in response to a customers decision to discontinue utilizing certain products provided by us. The reorganization resulted in an employee separation program and the impairment of certain equipment. As a result, during
the third quarter of 2005, we recorded employee separation costs of $16 million and asset impairment and other charges of $1 million under Reorganization of businesses and other in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

In the third quarter of 2005, we entered into an agreement with the customer to settle all potential claims by us related to
the customers decision to discontinue utilizing certain products provided by us. We have no continuing obligations under the agreement. We were paid $17 million, which was recorded during the third quarter of 2005 under Reorganization of
businesses and other in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We paid $2 million of separation costs in the fourth quarter of 2005. The remaining payments under
this program were concluded during the first nine months of 2006, with any unused amounts recorded as a reduction to Reorganization of businesses and other.

2004 Initiated Reorganization of Business Program

In the fourth quarter of 2004, we announced plans to further
reduce costs through an employee separation program. As a result, during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded net charges of $13 million; of which $3 million was included in Cost of sales and $10 million was recorded under
Reorganization of businesses and other in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table displays a roll-forward of the accruals established for these employee separation costs from January 1,
2005 to September 30, 2005.

At January 1, 2005, we had an accrual of $70 million for employee separation costs,
representing the severance costs for approximately 460 employees, 260 of which were manufacturing employees and 200 were non-manufacturing employees.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, 690 employees were separated from us. The $73 million used in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 reflects the initial cash payments made to these
separated employees. For these separated employees, of which 430 were manufacturing employees and 260 were non-manufacturing employees, an additional $3 million and $1 million was paid in the fourth quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006,
respectively, for healthcare costs and severance payments. The remaining accrual balance was reversed to Cost of sales in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As highlighted in the accompanying unaudited Statements of Cash Flows, our liquidity and
available capital resources are impacted by four key components: (i) current cash and cash equivalents, (ii) operating activities, (iii) investing activities, and (iv) financing activities.

Cash and cash equivalents, Short-term investments and Marketable securities

The following table reflects our total Cash and cash equivalents, Short-term investments and Marketable securities positions at September 29, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

Operating Activities

During the first nine months of 2006, we generated cash flow from operations of $1,069 million, as compared to $813 million in the first nine months of 2005. The primary contributors to the increased cash flow from
operations in the first nine months of 2006 were: (i) a $358 million increase in Net earnings and (ii) a $66 million increase in stock-based compensation due to the expensing of stock options and additional grants of RSUs made in April
2006 and May 2005.

Our net Accounts receivable were $711 million at September 29, 2006, as compared to $535 million at
December 31, 2005. Our days sales outstanding were 40 days and 32 days as of September 29, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The increase in days sales outstanding is due to the increased volume of sales in September 2006
versus December 2005.

Our cash outflows associated with Inventories were $93 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2006.
Our days of inventory on hand were 78 and 69 as of September 29, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The increase in days of inventory on hand is due to increased levels of inventory for TSPG in connection with the automotive
slow-down in the United States.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted in $148 million in Cash flows from operating activities.
Our Accounts payable were $577 million as of September 29, 2006, as compared to $469 million as of December 31, 2005. Our days purchases outstanding were 59 and 52 days as of September 29, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively. This increase was due to the timing and receipt of purchases and an increase in capital expenditures in September 2006 versus December 2005. The offset to the increase in days purchases outstanding are payments under our 2005
bonus plan during 2006.

Investing Activities

Our Net cash used for investing activities was $557 million and $973 million during the nine months ended September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively. Our investing activities are driven by
investment of our excess cash, capital expenditures, purchases of intellectual property rights, strategic acquisitions and investments in other companies and sales of investments and businesses. As a result of these activities and the redemption of
our Floating Rate Notes, our short-term investments portfolio decreased by $305 million, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This decrease was partially offset by a net increase in the cash invested in our marketable
securities portfolio of $155 million.

Our Capital expenditures were $564 million and $344 million during the nine months ended
September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively. As a percentage of Net sales, our Capital expenditures were 12% in the first nine months of 2006 and 8% in the first nine months of 2005. The increase in Capital expenditures in 2006
is a result of our decision to selectively increase capacity to meet increased demand as our utilization rates reached high levels.

We
utilized cash of $143 million in the nine months ended September 29, 2006 to acquire licenses to continue the expansion of our purchased technology portfolio, primarily related to WMSGs operations.

Cash used for strategic acquisitions and new investment activities was $4 million in the first nine months of 2006, primarily attributable to additional
investments in existing strategic investments, and $45 million in the first nine months of 2005, primarily related to the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of two businesses, consisting primarily of intellectual property and licenses.

We received cash proceeds from the disposition of strategic investments and businesses of $43 million in the first nine months of 2005,
primarily generated from the sale of our timing solutions business in the third quarter of 2005.

Financing Activities

Our Net cash used for financing activities was $430 million in the first nine months of 2006, resulting primarily from long-term debt and notes payable
repayments of $410 million and stock repurchases of $200 million. Net cash was partially

offset by proceeds of $142 million from stock option exercises and ESPP share purchases and $38 million in borrowings under a revolving loan agreement . This
compared to our Net cash provided by financing activities of $92 million in the first nine months of 2005, principally reflecting proceeds from stock option exercises.

During the third quarter of 2006, we fully redeemed our outstanding $400 million floating rate notes bearing interest at a rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.75% and maturing in 2009 (previously defined as the
Floating Rate Notes). The redemption occurred on July 17, 2006 at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the redemption date. Interest on
the Floating Rate Notes ceased to accrue on the redemption date, and the only remaining right of the holders after the redemption date is to receive the redemption price. Funds from our short-term investment portfolio were used to finance the $400
million early retirement of debt and the $8 million cost associated with the call premium.

During the third quarter of 2005, we announced
that our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to $500 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. In the first nine months of 2006, we repurchased approximately 7 million shares for $200 million. We also obtained
approximately 670 thousand shares in the first nine months of 2006 related to the withholding of shares of our Class A common stock used to satisfy employee tax obligations in connection with the vesting of RSUs.

We had an aggregate principal amount of $850 million in senior notes outstanding at September 29, 2006, consisting of (i) $350 million of
6.875% senior notes maturing in 2011, and (ii) $500 million of 7.125% senior notes maturing in 2014. The notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally with all of our existing and future unsecured senior debt and senior to all of its
future subordinated debt. In September 2006, subsequent to the announcement of the Merger Agreement, Standard & Poors and Fitch downgraded their credit ratings to BB+ with a negative outlook. We believe that these downgrades will
not have a material adverse impact on our liquidity. In addition, Moodys has a negative outlook on our credit rating of Ba2; however, we believe that if Moodys were to downgrade our rating, this action would not be expected to have a
material adverse impact on the ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement. The notes have restrictive covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional debt and issue preferred stock, pay dividends or distributions on, or
redeem or repurchase, our capital stock, transfer or sell assets, and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the Companys assets. We were in compliance with these covenants as of September 29, 2006.

During the first quarter of 2006, we entered into an unsecured senior revolving credit facility (Credit Agreement) with a committed capacity
of $500 million (including a letter of credit and swing line loan sub-facilities). We may, subject to customary conditions, request an increase in the aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement of up to an additional $500 million for
a total commitment of up to $1 billion. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate dependent on our credit ratings at the time of borrowing. In addition, we will pay quarterly facility commitment fees at rates based upon
our credit rating. The Credit Agreement expires on March 7, 2011, at which time all outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement will be due and payable. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital purposes, capital
expenditures, investments, share repurchases, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. At September 29, 2006, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement requires compliance with conditions precedent
that must be satisfied prior to any borrowing, as well as ongoing compliance with specified affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants relating to maintenance of specified financial ratios. We were in compliance with these covenants as
of September 29, 2006. The Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, failure to comply with covenants and the occurrence of cross-defaults relating to
indebtedness in amounts in excess of $50 million.

Contractual Obligations and Credit Facilities

We own most of our major facilities, but we do lease certain office, factory and warehouse space and land, as well as data processing and other equipment
under principally non-cancelable operating leases.

Future Financing Activities

Our primary
future cash needs on a recurring basis will be for working capital, capital expenditures and debt service. We believe that our net cash balance as of September 29, 2006 of approximately $2.1 billion (total Cash and cash equivalents, Short-term
investments and Marketable securities less total Long-term debt and Notes payable and current portion of long-term debt and capital lease obligations) and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs, capital
expenditures, share repurchase program and other business requirements for at least the next 12 months. If our cash flows from operations are less than we expect, we may need to incur additional debt, or utilize our Cash and cash equivalents or
Short-term investments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will incur significant indebtedness and utilize significant amounts of Cash and cash equivalents, Short-term investments and Marketable securities in order to complete the Merger. As
a result, the Companys future financing needs will be materially impacted by the Merger.

We may need to incur additional debt or
issue equity to make strategic acquisitions or investments. We cannot assure that financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or that financing will be available at all. Our ability to issue additional equity is constrained because our
issuance of additional stock may cause the Distribution to be taxable under section 355(e) of the Internal Revenue Code, and, under the tax sharing agreement, we would be required to indemnify Motorola for that liability, if any.

Our ability to make payments to fund working capital, capital expenditures, debt service, strategic acquisitions, joint ventures and investments will
depend on our ability to generate cash in the future, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. Future indebtedness may impose various restrictions and covenants on us
which could limit our ability to respond to market conditions, to provide for unanticipated capital investments or to take advantage of business opportunities.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance
sheet date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our significant accounting policies and critical estimates are disclosed
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Other than the change in a critical estimate in our accounting for income taxes, specifically valuation allowances for net deferred tax assets as noted below, no
significant changes to our significant accounting policies and critical estimates have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2005.

Accounting for
Income Taxes

During the nine months ended September 29, 2006, we reduced the valuation allowance associated with our deferred
tax assets of two of our foreign subsidiaries. The valuation allowance was reduced because we believe we are more likely than not going to realize a portion of the deferred tax assets for these entities. These changes are due to (i) a revision
in the



35

##### Table of Contents

financing of one foreign entity, resulting in increased estimates of the foreign entitys future taxable income, and (ii) another foreign entity
emerging from a three-year cumulative loss position during the third quarter of 2006. These events resulted in one-time, non-cash tax benefits totaling $18 million. Subsequently, as of September 29, 2006, the remaining valuation allowance
attributable to our deferred tax assets was $564 million.

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets, liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance based on
historical income, projected future income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the implementation of tax-planning strategies.

As we have incurred cumulative losses in the United States, and to a lesser extent, certain foreign jurisdictions, we have not recognized tax benefits for these operating losses as we are precluded from considering
the impact of future forecasted income pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 109 in assessing whether it is more likely than not that all or a portion of our deferred tax assets may be recoverable. We compute cumulative losses for these
purposes by adjusting pre-tax results (excluding the cumulative effects of accounting method changes and including discontinued operations and other non-recurring items such as restructuring or impairment charges) for permanent items.

The Company potentially may determine it will be able to realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets in the U.S. in the
foreseeable future. Upon such determination an adjustment to the valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets would cause a material increase to Net earnings in the period in which such determination is made. Significant management
judgment is required in determining the period in which the reversal of a valuation allowance should occur. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, in making this determination, including historical income,
projected future income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the implementation of tax-planning strategies.

We have reserves for taxes, associated interest, and other related costs that may become payable in future years as a result of audits by tax authorities. Although we believe that the positions taken on previously filed tax returns are
fully supported, we nevertheless have established reserves recognizing that various taxing authorities may challenge certain positions, which may not be fully sustained. The tax reserves are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as events occur that
affect our potential liability for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, proposed assessments by tax authorities, resolution of tax audits, negotiations between tax authorities of different countries concerning our
transfer prices, identification of new issues, and issuance of new regulations or new case law.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-4, Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee
Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement upon Occurrence of a Contingent Event (FSP FAS 123(R)-4). FASB Staff Position FSP FAS 123(R)-4 amends SFAS No. 123(R) to require evaluation of the probability of occurrence of a
contingent cash settlement event in determining whether the underlying options or similar instruments issued as employee compensation should be classified as liabilities or equity. On the date the contingent event becomes probable of occurring the
award must be recognized as a liability. On that date, the company recognizes a share-based liability equal to the portion of the award attributed to past service and any provision for accelerated vesting, multiplied by the fair value of the award
on that date. The Merger described in Note 2 is the contingent event which would result in cash settlement of the Companys outstanding stock options, RSUs and SARs. The Company does not believe the Merger is considered probable under FSP FAS
123(R)-4 at this time, due to the presence of certain unfulfilled conditions, including the approval of the proposed acquisition by the Companys stockholders, that must be satisfied before the transaction is concluded.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Income Tax Uncertainties (FIN 48). FIN 48 defines the
threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as more-likely-than-not to be sustained by the taxing authority. The recently issued literature also provides guidance on the derecognition,
measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties. FIN 48 also includes guidance concerning accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim periods and increases the level of disclosures
associated with any recorded income tax uncertainties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The differences between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN
48 and the amounts reported after adoption will be accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting the provisions of FIN 48 on our
financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans  an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires employers to (i) recognize in its statement of financial
position the funded status of a benefit plan measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation, (ii) recognize net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the
period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to SFAS No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions or SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions, (iii) measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employers statement of financial position and (iv) disclose additional information in the notes to the financial statements
about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition asset or obligation. For companies with publicly traded
securities, the requirements of SFAS 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006 and are to be applied prospectively upon adoption. For companies without publicly traded equity securities, the requirements to
recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and provide related disclosures are effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2007, while the requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date
of the employers statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, with earlier application encouraged. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of
SFAS 158 will have on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after
November 15, 2006 and addresses how financial statement errors should be considered from a materiality perspective and corrected. The literature provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year
misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. Historically there have been two common approaches used to quantify such errors: (i) the rollover approach, which quantifies the error as the amount by
which the current year income statement is misstated, and (ii) the iron curtain approach, which quantifies the error as the cumulative amount by which the current year balance sheet is misstated. The SEC Staff believes that
companies should quantify errors using both approaches and evaluate whether either of these approaches results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. Historically, we
have evaluated uncorrected differences utilizing the rollover approach, and we are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting the provisions of SAB 108 on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Business Outlook

In the fourth quarter of 2006,
we expect Net sales in the range of $1,535 billion to $1,635 billion. We expect Gross margin to be essentially in line with the gross margin percentage realized for the quarter ended September 29, 2006.



|Item 3: | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
|------- | -----------------------------------------------------------

Reference is made to Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Except as noted below, we experienced no significant
changes in market risk during the nine months ended September 29, 2006. However, we cannot give any assurance as to the effect that future changes in foreign currency rates or interest rates will have on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

Commodity Price Risk

As discussed in Note 6 to the accompanying financial statements, during the second quarter of 2006, we instituted a gold hedging program which incorporates the use of financial derivative instruments to hedge our
exposure to material increases in gold wire prices caused by changes in the spot price of gold bullion. At September 29, 2006, the estimated gross fair value of the obligation associated with our outstanding gold wire hedge contracts was less
than $1 million, and the forward contracts entered into had a notional amount of 14,000 Toz. At September 29, 2006, the potential loss over the next 12 months resulting from a 10% hypothetical increase in market gold prices is immaterial.

Outstanding financial derivative instruments expose us to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the
agreements. However, we do not expect any of the counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. The credit exposure related to these financial instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a positive fair value at the reporting
date. To manage credit risk, we select and periodically review counterparties based on credit ratings, limit our exposure to a single counterparty, and monitor the market position of the program and our relative market position with each
counterparty.

Interest Rate Risk

As discussed in Note 5 to the accompanying financial statements, during the second quarter of 2006, we announced that we would fully redeem our Floating Rate Notes on July 17, 2006. We redeemed the Floating Rate
Notes at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes. The reduction in interest rate risk associated with the retirement of these variable interest rate securities from the debt portfolio in the third quarter
of 2006 is immaterial due to a corresponding decrease in the balance of the short-term investment portfolio. Funds from the short-term investment portfolio were used to finance the $400 million early retirement of debt and the $8 million cost
associated with the call premium.



|Item 4: | Controls and Procedures.
|------- | ------------------------

(a)Evaluation of
disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the Evaluation Date).
Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including our
consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and
(ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the quarter ended September 29, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - Other Information



|Item 1: | Legal Proceedings.
|------- | ------------------

We are a defendant in various
lawsuits, including intellectual property suits, and are subject to various claims which arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our
financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of business, including tort and contractual disputes, claims before the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and other employee grievances, and intellectual property litigation and infringement claims. Intellectual property
litigation and infringement claims could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling our products. Furthermore, under our agreements with Motorola, we will indemnify Motorola for certain liabilities related to our business.

Between September 18 and October 13, 2006, six purported class action petitions were filed in the District Court of Travis
County, Texas in connection with the announcement of the MergerGerber v. Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., et al., Cause No. D-1-GN-06-003501; Lifshitz v. Michel Mayer, et al., Cause No. D-1-GN-06-003585; Warner v. Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
et al., Cause No. D-1-GN-06-003673; Tansey v. Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., et al., Cause No. D-1-GN-06-003685; Hockstein v. Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., et al., Cause No. D-1-GN-06-003717; and International Union of Operating Engineers Local
No. 825 Pension Fund v. Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., et al., Cause No. D-1-GN-06-003918. All of the petitions name Freescale and the current members of our board of directors as defendants. The Gerber and Lifshitz petitions also name The
Blackstone Group, The Carlyle Group, funds advised by Permira Advisers LLC, and Texas Pacific Group as defendants. The Lifshitz and Hockstein petitions also name B. Kenneth West, a former member of our board of directors, as a defendant. Plaintiffs
purport to represent stockholders of Freescale who are similarly situated with them. Among other things, the petitions allege that our directors, in approving the proposed merger breached fiduciary duties owed to our stockholders because they failed
to take steps to maximize the value to our public stockholders. The petitions further allege that The Blackstone Group, The Carlyle Group, funds advised by Permira Advisers LLC, and Texas Pacific Group aided and abetted these alleged breaches of
fiduciary duty. The petitions allege that the Companys directors will receive substantial benefits from the acquisition that would not be shared with other stockholders. The petitions further allege that the directors who approved the
transaction were not sufficiently independent and disinterested, and did not conduct a competitive auction. The petitions also allege that the Company took impermissible steps to hinder other potential acquirers, including a buyout group led by
Kohlberg, Kravis Roberts & Co. Some of the petitions also allege that the Company failed to disclose certain details regarding the proposed Merger and the process leading up to the Merger. The petitions seek class certification, damages,
and certain forms of equitable relief, including enjoining the consummation of the Merger. On October 12, 2006, the Company and the current members of the board of directors filed answers to five petitions in which the Company generally denied
the allegations. The Company moved to consolidate the actions that same day. The Company intends to take similar

##### Table of Contents

actions with respect to the petition filed on October 13, 2006 by the International Union of Operating Engineers Local No. 825 Pension Fund. We
believe that plaintiffs allegations are without merit and intend to vigorously contest these actions. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in our defense of these actions.

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to
a variety of environmental laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate governing, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, handling and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, soil and
groundwater contamination and employee health and safety. As with other companies engaged in similar industries, environmental compliance obligations and liability risks are inherent in many of our manufacturing and other activities. In the United
States certain environmental remediation laws, such as the federal Superfund law, can impose the entire cost of site clean-up, regardless of fault, upon any one among a number of statutory categories of parties, including companies that
owned, operated or sent wastes to a site. In some jurisdictions, environmental requirements could become more stringent in the future which could affect our ability to obtain or maintain necessary authorizations and approvals or result in increased
environmental compliance costs.

Motorola has been identified as a Potentially Responsible Party at the two facilities identified below,
and has been engaged in investigations, administrative proceedings, and/or cleanup processes with respect to past chemical releases into the environment at those facilities. Under our agreements with Motorola, we will indemnify Motorola for
liabilities related to our business, including the matters described below, and have assumed these liabilities. Our potential future liability at such sites (excluding costs spent to date) may adversely affect our results of operations.

52nd Street Facility, Phoenix, AZ. In 1983, a trichloroethane leak from a solvent tank led to the discovery of trichloroethylene and other
organic compounds in the groundwater underlying a former Motorola facility on 52nd Street in Phoenix, Arizona, which is a federal National Priorities List Superfund site. The Superfund site has been divided into operable units by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). The first operable unit required Motorola to investigate and perform on-site soil and groundwater remediation at and in the vicinity of the 52nd Street facility. EPA issued a record of decision for the second operable unit
in July 1994. That decision led to a consent decree involving Motorola that resulted in the design of a remediation plan targeted at containing and cleaning up solvent groundwater contamination downgradient of the first operable unit. That remedy is
now being implemented by Motorola and another potentially responsible party. The EPA has not announced a final remedy for either the first operable unit or the second operable unit which leaves open the possibility that there could be additional
cleanup costs associated with either operable unit. In addition, the EPA and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality have indicated that they are evaluating whether the regional drought affecting the Southwestern region of the United States is
having an adverse impact on the on-going groundwater cleanups and may require additional wells to ensure capture. We are actively working with federal and state agencies to perform remedial action consistent with what we believe to be the
appropriate level of responsibility. The EPA has performed some preliminary investigation into a third operable unit, which is an area extending beyond the boundaries of the area delineated in the second operable unit. A number of additional
potentially responsible parties, including Motorola, have been identified at the third operable unit. We believe our responsibility for the third operable unit conditions to be negligible. We are also attempting to resolve the extent of our
liability with these agencies and other responsible parties for the entire site.

56th Street Facility, Phoenix, AZ. In 1985, the
EPA initiated an inquiry concerning our 56th Street facility in Phoenix, Arizona following the discovery of organic compounds in certain local area wells. The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality assumed primary responsibility for this
matter. We voluntarily undertook negotiations with the state to remediate the groundwater contamination, and are currently managing the remediation under the Arizona Department of Environmental Qualitys Water Quality Assurance Revolving Fund
Program.
