PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
HP was incorporated in 1947 under the laws of the State of California as the
successor to a partnership founded in 1939 by William R. Hewlett and David
Packard. Effective in May 1998, we changed our state of incorporation from
California to Delaware.
HP is a leading global provider of computing and imaging solutions and
services for business and home, and is focused on capitalizing on the
opportunities of the Internet and the emergence of next-generation appliances,
e-services and infrastructure.
As of October 31, 2000, HP's major business segments included Imaging and
Printing Systems, Computing Systems and Information Technology Services ("IT
Services").
- IMAGING AND PRINTING SYSTEMS ("IPS") provides laser and inkjet printers
(both monochrome and color), mopiers, scanners, all-in-one devices,
personal color copiers and faxes, digital senders, wide- and large-format
printers, print servers, network-management software, networking
solutions, digital photography products, imaging and printing supplies,
imaging and software solutions, and related professional and consulting
services.
- COMPUTING SYSTEMS ("CS") provides a broad range of computing systems for
the enterprise, commercial and consumer markets. The products and
solutions range from mission-critical systems and software to personal
computers for business and home. Major product lines include
UNIX-Registered Trademark-(1) and PC servers, desktop and mobile personal
computers, workstations, software solutions and storage solutions.
- IT SERVICES ("ITS") provides consulting, education, design and
installation services, ongoing support and maintenance, proactive services
like mission-critical support, outsourcing and utility-computing
- ------------------------
(1) UNIX-Registered Trademark- is a registered trademark of The Open Group.

capabilities. Financing capabilities include leasing, automatic
technology-refreshment services, solution financing and venture financing.
A summary of HP's net revenue, earnings from operations and total assets as
contributed by our principal business segments is found in Note 16 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 below, which is incorporated herein
by reference. A discussion of factors potentially affecting our operations is
set forth in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Factors That Could Affect Future Results," in Item 7
below, which is incorporated herein by reference.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
HP's overall business strategy is two-fold. First, we seek to compete
against more narrowly focused competitors in the following product and services
categories: servers, software, storage, services and support, PCs and
workstations, personal information appliances and printers and supplies.
Second, we seek to leverage the depth and breadth of our product and
services portfolio across three business segments (IPS, CS, ITS) through the
development of new solutions, markets and ecosystems at the intersection of
e-services, information appliances and an always-on Internet infrastructure.
Following are more detailed descriptions of HP's principal business segments
and key activities during fiscal 2000:
IMAGING AND PRINTING SYSTEMS
HP's portfolio of printing and imaging offerings includes Internet-related
printing services, wireless printing technology, professional and consumer
imaging services, imaging supplies, the HP LaserJet and DeskJet printer
families, scanners, copiers, mopiers, fax machines, large-and wide-format
printers, PC and digital photography products and all-in-one products that
perform multiple functions.
Key product introductions in fiscal 2000 for business customers included the
Inkjet 2200/2250 printers, which provide high-performance and networked color
office printing for small workgroup environments; three new families of HP
DesignJet printers--the 500, 800 and 5000 series, which are large-format
printing systems designed to give customers competitive printing speeds and
excellent image quality; and the JetDirect 4000 print appliance, the first
product in a new category of network appliances designed to provide customers
with dedicated printing solutions.
New product introductions for consumers and small businesses included the
LaserJet 3200, a new printer, fax, scanner all-in-one product for small offices
and home offices; the Print to Mail Accessory designed to offer a one-stop mail
solution for the small business customer from forms, to folding, to Internet
postage; the DeskJet 990Cse/Cxi Professional printer, the HP PhotoSmart 1215
printer and the PhotoSmart 1218/xi printer, which all feature high print quality
at faster print speeds and wireless options that allow them to print directly
from compatible digital appliances using infrared technology; and a full line of
digital cameras, ranging from the HP PhotoSmart 215 for first-time digital
camera buyers to the HP PhotoSmart 618 and 912 for experienced photographers.
Our PhotoSmart digital cameras, photo quality printers and colorfast paper,
in combination, compete with traditional optical (film) and silver hallide
(print) technology by achieving digital output quality and endurance standards
that match and in some cases exceed traditional optical and silver hallide
technology. We expect these products to stimulate HP's imaging and printing
supplies business.
As a component of our overall strategy, we launched our printing e-services
initiative in April 2000 together with a set of printing e-service providers. HP
and our partners are developing strategies, printing appliances, and
technologies designed to drive printing to the center of the Internet by
transforming the role of printers into smart Internet appliances. With these
Internet-based services, printers are becoming local post offices, ticket
offices, shipping stations and print shops.

<PAGE>
In May 2000, we began to leverage our printing and imaging expertise into
the $500 billion commercial printing market when HP and Heidelberger
Druckmaschinen AG ("Heidelberger") entered into a cooperative agreement in
printing and publishing. Both companies announced the availability of two joint
solutions for the proofing market. HP, which has expertise in digital printing
and network printing solutions, and Heidelberger, which has expertise in
commercial printing and publishing solutions, believe that combining our
expertise will result in better solutions for mutual customers.
In October 2000, HP entered into another strategic alliance in the
commercial printing space with Indigo N.V. ("Indigo"), a leading provider of
digital color printing systems. As part of the alliance, we made a $100 million
equity investment in Indigo, and agree to co-develop high-end digital color
printing systems and serve as an OEM for Indigo's products. This alliance adds a
third printing technology, digital offset color, to HP's InkJet and LaserJet
technology. Digital offset color is a high-quality, ink-based offset print
technology with the performance advantages of electronic imaging. It offers
excellent print quality at high speeds and a lower per-page cost for the
customer.
COMPUTING SYSTEMS
Computing Systems is at the core of our always-on Internet infrastructure
offering, which includes Internet and network servers, software solutions (for
e-services, Internet infrastructure and management, network management and
operating systems), business and consumer desktop and mobile computers and
storage (network attached storage and storage area networks). Such products and
services are used in a variety of applications ranging from personal and small
business information management to large scale IT infrastructure solutions for
global service providers, telecommunications companies, Internet services
vendors and manufacturers.
HP's core computing products and technologies include our PA-RISC
architecture for systems and workstations, and our Explicitly Parallel
Instruction Computing (EPIC) technology, which provides the foundation for
Intel's next-generation, 64-bit high-end Itanium processor family.
HP's computing systems business includes scalable families of PCs, storage
solutions, servers and information technology systems for use in home offices,
as well as small, medium and large businesses. The application of our computers
range from small office to enterprise workgroup department and data center
implementations. Key product families include the HP 9000 series, which runs
HP-UX, our implementation of the UNIX-Registered Trademark- operating system,
and comprises multi-user computers for both technical and commercial
applications and workstations with powerful computational and graphics
capabilities; the HP NetServer series of PC servers; the HP Kayak, HP Vectra,
and HP Brio-series of desktop PCs for use in enterprise and small businesses in
vertical applications such as engineering, manufacturing and chemical analysis;
the HP OmniBook mobile PCs for use in business; and the HP Pavilion multimedia
consumer PCs.
Our e-services and Internet infrastructure software portfolio is based on a
multi-operating system strategy that leverages a suite of integrated
applications upon which dynamic e-services can be built. First, HP's multi-OS
strategy offers customers the choice of HP-UX, Linux, Windows NT and, for
HP 3000 customers, our proprietary operating system, MPE. This strategy offers
our customers significant flexibility. Built upon this multi-OS foundation is a
host of applications to support virtually any mission-critical implementation.
HP software properties include e-speak and HP ProcessManager (formerly
Changengine), which are built with an open standards approach, and have embedded
capabilities for addressing the emerging requirements of dynamic services-based
computing.
Other software offerings include OpenView, an Internet-based network and
systems management suite for integrated service management; WebQoS, which is
designed to deliver service quality based on customer relationships; the
Praesidium family of products, which is designed for security; Smart Internet
4
<PAGE>
Usage, which provides service tracking and billing; MC/ServiceGuard, which
provides high availability; and Open Call, which provides voice-enabled
e-services integration.
Key technology and service introductions in fiscal 2000 include:
SERVERS. The HP 9000 SUPERDOME SERVER was introduced in September.
Superdome, which HP believes is the fastest, most powerful, flexible and
available UNIX-Registered Trademark- computing platform in the market today, is
coupled with services such as up-front systems assessment, pre-installation
testing and tuning, utility-based pricing, and dedicated service and support
teams.
Both the HP NETSERVER LT 6000R AND LH 6000R are new four-way PC servers for
enterprise, service-provider and dot-com customers. They offer the scalability
and performance of a six-way server for the price of a conventional four-way
system.
SOFTWARE. The HP-UX 11I operating system was a major release of HP's
UNIX-Registered Trademark- operating system, which included extensive new
Internet-enabling technologies, security, and networking and management
features. The HP-UX11i was among the first major operating systems to feature
host-based intrusion detection software for protection from internal and
external attacks as a standard component of the operating system.
STORAGE. This year, we introduced the HP XP-512 high-capacity storage
solution with up to 512 disks and a capacity of 37 terabytes of data to handle
the increased requirements of information storage for Web and content caching.
HP also introduced a new line of HP ULTRIUM storage solutions, which
features data rate matching and streaming technology for enhanced transfer rate.
These new drives are based on the Ultrium format of LTO (Linear Tape-Open)
technology.
UTILITY COMPUTING. We introduced E-UTILICA, which offers to service
providers utility-like computing power and services--a pre-integrated solution
for technical-design customers including instant access to computing power and
capacity whenever it is needed over a secure Virtual Private Network.
DESKTOP COMPUTING. HP'S E-PC PERSONAL COMPUTER is a new 8-pound,
dictionary-sized PC with an innovative modular design for the enterprise. There
are only three components--a power supply, a hard-disk drive and the system
chassis--to simplify trouble-shooting and support.
During fiscal 2000, we undertook or entered into the following significant
initiatives, partnerships and acquisitions:
In April 2000, we collaborated with Cadence and Flextronics to create an
independent new company called SPINCIRCUIT. Designed as an HP e-service for the
high-tech manufacturing and design community, this business-to-business
e-commerce exchange portal runs on HP's own e-speak technology. This new company
created an Internet gateway that directly connects engineers' design desktops to
the electronics supply chain, significantly cutting costs in the manufacturing
and design process.
In May 2000, we announced our participation in the formation of Converge
(previously known as E-HITEX), a high-tech electronics trading exchange focused
on creating services designed to increase supply chain efficiency, including
readily-accessible spot markets for supply-chain purchases and sales of
component parts. This is an independent new company created by HP, Agilent, AMD,
Canon, Compaq, Gateway, Hitachi, NEC, Quantum, Samsung Electronics, SCI Systems,
Solectron, Synnex, Tatung and Western Digital.
In October 2000, we opened the HP-INTEL SOLUTIONS CENTER in Cupertino,
California, where customers can test the integration and optimization of their
e-business solutions on Intel-based HP NetServer
5
<PAGE>
systems. This testing enables enterprise and service-provider customers (ISPs,
ASPs, WSPs) to deploy their solutions more quickly and less expensively.
Also in October 2000, we agreed to acquire Bluestone Software, Inc., a
leading provider of Internet software platforms, tools and technologies,
including J2EE and XML application servers and tools. Bluestone's software is
intended to become an integrating platform for HP's e-speak and HP Process
manager, in addition to other HP services-based software offerings. The
acquisition closed on January 18, 2001.
Throughout fiscal 2000, HP unveiled several MOBILE E-SERVICES BAZAARS around
the world as vehicles for local and international partners to sign-up and
participate in the development of mobile e-services. The bazaars serve as
regional hubs for mobile e-service activities and mobile application
development, providing incubation facilities for companies developing mobile
e-services and applications based on standards such as Wireless Application
Protocol and e-speak. These forums are driving invention at the intersection of
e-services, information appliances and always-on Internet infrastructure.
IT SERVICES
HP's IT Services strategy reflects the fact that today business
transformation and IT implementation are inextricably linked. We offer a
complete life cycle of services--planning, implementation, support and ongoing
operations--that customers can choose from to take advantage of emerging
technologies and business models. HP's IT Services offers a wide variety of
services aimed at providing customers with an always-on IT infrastructure,
including consulting and implementation services for traditional and Internet-
based IT infrastructures, storage and storage-area networks, and IT management;
next-generation networks and mobile communications; proactive, mission-critical
support services; business-continuity and recovery services; and infrastructure
outsourcing and Web-hosting services. Services aimed at helping customers
rapidly implement key business solutions are also provided, including
supply-chain management, e-procurement, business intelligence,
customer-relationship management, enterprise application integration,
e-commerce, e-banking, trading communities, portals, and virtual business
networks.
At the beginning of the life cycle, IT Services offers up-front business and
technology strategy consulting, planning, education and integration services, as
well as financial services and support. HP's IT Services consultants offer
design and rapid integration services into a variety of IT business customer
solutions. HP's financing services allow customers to plan and manage the cost
of these solutions. In addition, HP's global on-site engineering force offers
support for the physical implementation of these solutions.
For customers requiring ongoing support, IT Services offers both proactive
and reactive services. HP's support services begin with basic hardware and
software warranty and support and expand up to proactive mission-critical
service that addresses the causes of downtime covering not only the computer
system but also such key elements such as storage devices, databases, networks,
and key software/middleware applications. HP's global response center manages
customer environments and provides technical assistance 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. Other ongoing services include financing, which covers product
leasing, complementary products, automatic technology-refreshment services and
solution financing.
Key introductions in fiscal 2000 included new mission-critical support
capabilities for the SAP/R3 application; insurance against loss-of-service
revenue loss; new capacity planning and performance management services for HP
storage systems; new Microsoft 2000 data-center services; expanded services for
the Linux environment; new, proactive Web-based support services that require no
end-user intervention; new Web-hosting capabilities; expanded communications
consulting for Unified
6
<PAGE>
Communications (with Cisco Systems) supporting next-generation networks and
wireless technologies; and rapid-implementation services for applications from
SAP, Ariba, BroadVision and i2 Technologies.
MARKETING
CUSTOMERS AND SALES ORGANIZATION
HP has approximately 540 sales and support offices and distributorships in
more than 120 countries. Sales are made to business and consumer customers
worldwide.
We continue to manage our business and report our financial results based on
our three business segments (CS, IPS, ITS). In addition, during fiscal 2000 HP
began to supplement this product generation structure with a customer-facing
view. The marketing and selling of our products and services have been
reorganized into two main customer-facing organizations: a Consumer Business
Organization ("CBO") and a Business Customer Organization ("BCO").
CBO comprises all of HP's consumer-related marketing and selling activities
consolidated into a single functional unit, and BCO represents the consolidation
of all of HP's business and enterprise-related marketing and selling activities
into a single functional unit.
These two customer-facing organizations are charged with building an
intimate and comprehensive understanding of their respective customers' needs.
This feedback and knowledge is then incorporated into planning decisions
supported by our product-generation organizations, such as Computing Systems and
Imaging and Printing Systems. The overall purpose of this new marketing
structure is to enable us to better leverage our core assets to deliver
world-class technology, services and solutions, and a world-class customer
experience.
CONSUMER BUSINESS ORGANIZATION: CBO is responsible for marketing and
supplying HP's consumer products around the world. CBO is organized by product
offerings, including Home PCs (Pavilion desktop and notebook products), Printing
and Supplies (DeskJet and All-in-One inkjet printers, ink cartridges and media),
Digital Imaging (ScanJet scanners, digital cameras), Digital Convergence (CD-RW
drives, DVD+RW standards work), and Information Appliances (Jornada PDAs,
embedded software). By integrating the marketing for all consumer products into
a single organization, HP hopes to reduce redundancies and better leverage
opportunities for cross-category consumer product marketing.
We are currently the market-share leader for consumer inkjet printers and
the second-largest supplier of branded consumer desktop PCs worldwide. In the
U.S., HP is the market-share leader in scanners and CD-RW drives. We have
adopted a blended channel strategy for consumer product distribution in the U.S.
that includes sales through approximately 20,000 third-party retail locations
and direct sales through hpshopping.com, a wholly-owned subsidiary formed in
May 1999 to support online sales.
Key product development initiatives include an increased focus on
consumer-oriented industrial design, providing additional beyond-the-box
consumer e-services--either independently or in conjunction with third-party
partners, and a strong cross product category marketing focus on digital
imaging.
Revenues in CBO are derived through reseller channels, including retailers,
dealers and original equipment manufacturers as well as through direct sales and
distribution to customers over the Web.
BUSINESS CUSTOMER ORGANIZATION: BCO is responsible for marketing and
delivering products, services and solutions to all of HP's business and
enterprise customers. BCO's customers include small and medium businesses as
well as global enterprises, particularly telecommunications service providers,
Internet service providers and academic, scientific and government institutions.
7
<PAGE>
BCO is charged with developing a comprehensive understanding of HP's
business customers' needs and translating this understanding into delivering
world-class services, solutions and customer experience throughout the customer
life-cycle.
To do so, BCO markets products, services and solutions that can be either
individual products and services or unique combinations of offerings from
Imaging and Printing Systems, Computer Systems and IT Services.
Revenues in BCO result from the efforts of HP's business customer sales
force, which includes direct field sales representatives, indirect sales (i.e.,
commercial channels), HP consultants, pre-sales technical personnel and
administrative support staff. BCO's direct sales force is divided into specialty
product and service representatives (such as for servers, storage, software and
services), and teams assigned directly to corporate accounts which represent all
of HP's product and service categories.
INTERNATIONAL
A summary of HP's net revenue, and net property, plant and equipment by
geographic area is set forth in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
in Item 8 below, which information is incorporated herein by reference. More
than half of our overall revenue comes from outside of the U.S. In the last
three fiscal years, more than three-fourths of this international revenue was
derived from Europe and the Asia Pacific region. A majority of our net revenue
originating outside the U.S. was from customers other than foreign governments.
Most of HP's sales in international markets are made by foreign sales
subsidiaries. In countries with low sales volumes, sales are made through
various representatives and distributors.
For a discussion of risks attendant to HP's foreign operations, see
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Factors That Could Affect Future Results--International" and
"--Market Risk," and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--Adoption of the Euro" in Item 7 below and
Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 below, which are
incorporated herein by reference.
We believe that our international diversification provides stability to our
worldwide operations and revenue streams, thereby reducing the impact of adverse
economic changes in any single country.
MATERIALS
Our manufacturing operations employ a wide variety of semiconductors,
electromechanical components and assemblies, and raw materials such as plastic
resins and sheet metal. Although we believe that the materials and supplies
necessary for our manufacturing operations are presently available in the
quantities required, we sometimes experience a short supply of certain component
parts as a result of strong demand in the industry for those parts.
We purchase materials, supplies and product subassemblies from a substantial
number of vendors. For many of our products, we have existing alternate sources
of supply, or such sources are readily available.
PATENTS
HP's general policy has been to seek patent protection for those inventions
and improvements likely to be incorporated into our products and services or to
give us a competitive advantage. While we believe that our patents and
applications have value, in general no single patent is in itself essential to
us as a whole or any of our principal business segments. In addition, any of our
proprietary rights could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or may not
provide significant competitive advantages.
8
<PAGE>
BACKLOG
HP believes that backlog is not a meaningful indicator of future business
prospects due to the large volume of products delivered from shelf inventories,
the shortening of product life cycles and the relative portion of net revenue
related to our service and support business. Therefore, we believe that backlog
information is not material to an understanding of our business.
COMPETITION
We encounter aggressive competition in all areas of our business activity.
Our competitors are numerous, ranging from some of the world's largest
corporations to many relatively small and highly specialized firms. HP competes
primarily on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality, reliability,
brand, distribution and customer service and support. Our reputation, the ease
of use of our products, the ready availability of multiple software
applications, our always-on Internet infrastructure offering, and our customer
training, services and support are also important competitive factors.
The markets for each of our three principal segments are characterized by
vigorous competition among major corporations with long-established positions
and a large number of new and rapidly growing firms. Product life cycles are
short, and to remain competitive we must develop new products and services,
periodically enhance our existing products and services and compete effectively
on the basis of the factors listed above. In addition, we compete with many of
our current and potential partners. The successful management of these
competitive partner relationships will be critical to our future success.
Moreover, we anticipate that we will have to continue to adjust prices on many
of our products and services to stay competitive, and thus effectively manage
financial returns with correspondingly reduced gross margins.
While the absence of reliable statistics and companies with comparable
product mixes makes it difficult to state HP's relative market position with
certainty, on an overall basis we are among the largest U.S.-based companies
offering our range of general-purpose computers and personal-information,
imaging and printing products for industrial, scientific and business
applications, and information technology services. HP is the leader or among the
leaders in each of our principal business segments.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The process of developing new high-technology products and solutions is
inherently complex and uncertain. It requires, among other things, innovation
and accurate anticipation of customers' changing needs and emerging
technological trends. Without the introduction of new products, services and
enhancements, HP's products and services are likely to become technologically
obsolete over time, in which case revenues would be materially and adversely
affected. New products and services, if and when introduced, may not achieve
market acceptance. After the products and services are developed, HP must
quickly manufacture and deliver such products and services in sufficient volumes
at acceptable costs to meet demand.
Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, together with the various research and
development groups within the three principal business segments, are responsible
for HP's total research and development efforts.
Expenditures for research and development in fiscal 2000, including
Hewlett-Packard Laboratories and the three principal business segments, were
$2.6 billion. These expenditures were $2.4 billion in fiscal 1999 and
$2.4 billion in fiscal 1998. In fiscal 2000, total research and development
expenditures were 5.4% of net revenue, compared to 5.8% in fiscal 1999 and 6.0%
in fiscal 1998.
We anticipate that we will continue to have significant research and
development expenditures in the future to maintain our competitive position with
a continuing flow of innovative, high-quality products and services.

ENVIRONMENT
Certain of HP's operations involve the use of substances regulated under
various federal, state and international laws governing the environment. It is
our policy to apply strict standards for environmental protection to sites
inside and outside the U.S., even if not subject to regulations imposed by local
governments. The liability for environmental remediation and related costs is
accrued when it is considered probable and the costs can be reasonably
estimated. Environmental costs are presently not material to our operations or
financial position.
EMPLOYEES
HP had approximately 88,500 employees worldwide as of October 31, 2000.
Information regarding the executive officers of HP is set forth in Part III
below.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
The principal executive offices of HP are located at 3000 Hanover Street,
Palo Alto, California 94304. As of October 31, 2000, we owned or leased a total
of approximately 43.5 million square feet of space worldwide, including
1.1 million square feet currently occupied by Agilent Technologies, Inc. We
believe that our existing properties are in good condition and suitable for the
conduct of our business.
Our plants are equipped with machinery, most of which is owned and is in
part developed by us to meet the special requirements for manufacturing
computers, peripherals and systems. At the end of fiscal 2000, we were
productively utilizing the vast majority of the space in our facilities, while
actively disposing of space determined to be excess.
We anticipate that most of the capital necessary for expansion will continue
to be obtained from internally generated funds. Investment in new property,
plant and equipment from continuing operations amounted to $1.7 billion in
fiscal 2000, $1.1 billion in fiscal 1999 and $1.6 billion in fiscal 1998.
As of October 31, 2000, our sales and support operations occupied
approximately 12.6 million square feet, of which approximately 3.4 million
square feet were located within the U.S. We own 44% of the space used for
marketing activities and lease the remaining 56%.
HP's manufacturing plants, research and development facilities and warehouse
and administrative facilities occupied approximately 30.9 million square feet,
of which approximately 21.5 million square feet were located within the U.S. We
own 61% of our manufacturing, research and development, warehouse and
administrative space and lease the remaining 39%. None of the property owned by
us is held subject to any major encumbrances.
As indicated above, HP has three principal business segments: Imaging and
Printing Systems, Computing Systems and IT Services. Because of the
interrelation of these three segments, substantially all of the properties are
used at least in part by each of these segments, and we retain the flexibility
to use each of the properties in whole or in part for each of the segments.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
HP is involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings,
including patent, commercial and environmental matters, which arise in the
ordinary course of business. There are no such matters pending that HP expects
to be material in relation to its business, financial condition or results of
operations.
HP is party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings brought by federal or
state environmental agencies under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), known as "Superfund," or state laws
similar to CERCLA.
We are also conducting environmental investigations or remediations at
several of our current or former operating sites pursuant to administrative
orders or consent agreements with state environmental agencies. Any liability
from such proceedings, in the aggregate, is not expected to be material to the
operations or financial position of HP.
In November 1999, in settlement of an administrative complaint filed in 1998
that alleged violations of the Toxic Substances Control Act ("TSCA"), HP entered
into a consent agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(the "Agency") under which we agreed to pay a civil penalty of $112,500, to have
a ten-month post-enforcement audit of specified operations conducted by a third
party and to pay civil penalties in stipulated amounts for any violations that
may be discovered in that audit. The audit is currently scheduled to be
completed in early 2001, by agreement with the Agency. Under the terms of the
consent agreement, stipulated penalties imposed under that agreement may not
exceed $600,000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES THAT APPEAR ELSEWHERE IN THIS
DOCUMENT.
As more fully discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
in Item 8 below, on March 2, 1999, we announced our intention to launch a new
company, subsequently named Agilent Technologies, Inc. ("Agilent Technologies"),
through a distribution of Agilent Technologies common stock to our stockholders
in the form of a tax-free spin-off. Agilent Technologies is composed of HP's
former Measurement Organization, which included the test and measurement,
semiconductor products, chemical analysis and healthcare solutions businesses.
Effective July 31, 1999, HP's management and Board of Directors completed the
plan of disposition for Agilent Technologies. In November 1999, Agilent
Technologies completed an initial public offering of approximately 16% of its
common stock. We distributed substantially all of our remaining interest in
Agilent Technologies through a stock dividend to our stockholders on June 2,
2000, resulting in the elimination of the net assets of discontinued operations
and a $4.2 billion reduction of retained earnings. Our consolidated financial
statements for all periods present Agilent Technologies as a discontinued
business segment through the spin-off date of June 2, 2000 in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30. Unless otherwise indicated,
the following discussion relates to HP's continuing operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The following is a summary of operating results at the HP consolidated
level. This discussion is followed by a more detailed discussion of operating
results by segment.
HP reported net revenue growth of 15% in 2000, following growth of 7% in
1999. In 2000, we experienced strong market acceptance of our home and notebook
PCs, printing supplies, UNIX-Registered Trademark- servers, and imaging devices.
This growth was partially offset by the continued transition to a new enterprise
storage strategy, softening demand in the business desktop PC and business
printer markets, and unfavorable foreign currency effects. Dollar revenue and
gross margin growth were also constrained by lower average selling prices and a
shift to the low-end in many product categories. However, operating expenses as
a percentage of net revenue decreased by 0.6 percentage points in 2000 compared
to 1999 due to improved operational efficiencies. Interest income and other,
net, increased by 40% primarily as a result of non-operational gains, including
gains from divestitures of non-strategic portions of our business. As a result,
net earnings from continuing operations as a percentage of net revenue in fiscal
2000 was comparable to fiscal 1999. Net earnings from continuing operations
increased 15% in 2000 compared to a 16% increase in 1999.
Costs, expenses and earnings as a percentage of net revenue were as follows
for the years ended October 31:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
NET REVENUE
Net revenue growth of 15% in fiscal 2000 resulted primarily from strong
performance in the Computing Systems and Imaging and Printing Systems segments,
while the 7% revenue growth in 1999 was driven by growth in Imaging and Printing
Systems. Overall, both product sales and service revenue for the fiscal year
increased 15% over 1999. Product sales for fiscal 1999 increased 7% over 1998,
while service revenue grew 9% over the same period. U.S. revenue in 2000
increased 14% over 1999 to $21.6 billion. International revenue in 2000 grew 16%
overall to $27.2 billion, largely driven by economic improvement in Asia. In
1999, U.S. revenue increased 6% and international revenue increased 9% compared
to 1998. Fluctuations in currency rates adversely impacted revenue growth for
the company as a whole by approximately 2.0 percentage points in fiscal 2000 due
mainly to the weakening of the Euro, while currency fluctuations had a minimal
impact on revenue growth in 1999.
COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD AND COST OF SERVICES
Cost of products sold and services, as a percentage of net revenue was 71.5%
in fiscal 2000, compared with 70.1% in 1999 and 70.5% in 1998. The
1.4 percentage point increase in the cost of sales percentage in fiscal 2000
versus 1999 resulted primarily from increases in cost of sales for the Computing
Systems segment. The decline in the 1999 cost of sales percentage versus 1998
was attributable to gross margin improvements in Computing Systems, partially
offset by an increase in cost of sales in the IT Services segment. We expect
cost of products sold and services as a percentage of net revenue to increase in
the future due to continued competitive pricing pressures and changes in product
mix.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Total operating expenses, composed of research and development and selling,
general and administrative expenses, increased 12% and 9% in 2000 and 1999 when
compared to 1999 and 1998, respectively. In fiscal 1999, hiring controls
implemented in 1998 and increased use of outsourcing, where appropriate and cost
effective, had a favorable impact on operating expense growth.
Research and development expense grew 8% in fiscal 2000 compared to 1999 and
3% in 1999 when compared to 1998. In both fiscal 2000 and 1999, growth in
research and development expense was due primarily to an increase in spending
that reflects our continuing investment in the design and development of new
technologies in computing systems and imaging and printing systems.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 13% in 2000 compared
to 1999 and 11% in 1999 when compared to 1998. The selling, general and
administrative expenses growth rate in 1999 was 10%, after adjusting for costs
related to the Agilent Technologies spin-off which were included in HP's
continuing operations. These costs consisted of spin-off expenses incurred prior
to the July 31, 1999 measurement date for discontinued operations accounting and
other expenses composed primarily of retention incentives given to continuing HP
employees involved in effecting the spin-off. In both 2000 and 1999, the growth
was due primarily to increased selling costs to support business growth as well
as increased marketing expenses from the continued introduction of new products
and to support our e-services strategy. In fiscal 2000, we also incurred
additional marketing expenses to support our corporate branding initiative.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
INTEREST INCOME AND OTHER, NET
Interest income and other, net, increased $285 million in fiscal 2000 versus
1999, following a $178 million increase in 1999 when compared to 1998. The
increase in fiscal 2000 was primarily attributable to gains on divestitures of
non-strategic businesses, an increase in interest income due to higher average
cash and investment balances, and gains on the sale of equity securities offset
by losses on certain investments in emerging market companies. As a result of
current market conditions, we may incur additional charges on our investments in
emerging market companies in the future. The increase in fiscal 1999 was due
mainly to an increase in interest income resulting from higher average cash and
investment balances.
TAXES
HP's tax rate was 23.0% in 2000, 26.0% in 1999 and 27.5% in 1998. The
year-to-year decreases were primarily the result of changes in the mix of our
pre-tax earnings in various tax jurisdictions throughout the world.
NET EARNINGS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
As reported, net earnings from continuing operations increased 15% to
$3.6 billion in 2000, compared to a 16% increase to $3.1 billion in 1999. As a
percentage of net revenue, net earnings from continuing operations were 7.3% in
both fiscal 2000 and 1999, and 6.8% in 1998.
NET EARNINGS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the cumulative net earnings of Agilent
Technologies since the July 31, 1999 measurement date began to exceed the total
estimated net costs to effect the spin-off. Net earnings from discontinued
operations for fiscal 2000 were $136 million. Of this $136 million, net earnings
of Agilent Technologies for the period from July 31, 1999 through the June 2,
2000 spin-off date totaled $287 million (net of related tax expense of
$174 million), and the net costs to effect the spin-off were $151 million (net
of related tax benefit of $23 million). Net earnings from discontinued
operations for fiscal years 1999 and 1998 consisted only of the net earnings of
Agilent Technologies. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in
Item 8 below for further discussion.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
The following is a discussion of operating results for each of HP's business
segments. A description of products and services as well as financial data for
each segment can be found in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in
Item 8 below. The financial data for fiscal years 1999 and 1998 have been
restated to reflect changes in HP's organizational structure that occurred
during fiscal year 2000. These changes are more fully described in Note 16 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 below. The reportable segments
disclosed in this document are based on our management organizational structure
as of October 31, 2000. Future changes to this organizational structure may
result in changes to the reportable segments disclosed.

</TABLE>
Imaging and Printing Systems' net revenue grew 10% in fiscal 2000 from 1999,
following an 11% increase in 1999 when compared to 1998. Net revenue growth in
both years was driven primarily by strong sales of printer supplies. Fiscal 2000
revenues also benefited from growth in imaging devices, partially offset by a
decline in business printer sales. Overall, unfavorable foreign currency
effects, particularly in Europe, moderated the segment's revenue growth in
fiscal 2000. In addition to strong performance in supplies, the increase in
fiscal 1999 revenues was attributable to growth in home printers. Overall,
despite strong unit growth across many product categories in both years, dollar
growth was constrained by declines in average selling prices and shifts to
low-end products.
Net revenue growth in printer supplies in both years reflected continued
expansion in the installed base. The fiscal 2000 revenue growth in imaging
devices was fueled by excellent unit growth from newly introduced products
within all-in-one products and Photosmart printers and cameras. The increase in
imaging revenues was partially offset by planned pricing declines in all-in-one
products and a shift to lower-priced scanners. A softening of demand in the
business printer market further moderated fiscal 2000 revenues. Within this
category, there was strong growth in color laser printers; however, this growth
did not fully offset the impact of an expected decline in monochrome laser
sales. In addition to strong sales in supplies in fiscal 1999, home printers
benefited from positive acceptance of newly introduced low-end desktop printers,
while color lasers made solid inroads in the business printer category. Higher
unit shipments of new products drove the increase in scanning devices in fiscal
1999, despite a sharp decline in average selling prices.
Earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue was 13.4% in 2000,
compared to 12.6% in 1999 and 12.2% in 1998. In 1998, Imaging and Printing
Systems incurred approximately $120 million of charges primarily for voluntary
employee severance programs and fixed asset write-downs related to outsourcing
certain production operations. The decision to outsource these operations was
made to provide flexibility in manufacturing in the future. Adjusting for these
charges, earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue would have been
12.9% in 1998.
The earnings from operations ratio improved by 0.8 percentage points in
fiscal year 2000 compared to 1999. This improvement reflected strong operating
expense management, offset by a slight decline in the overall gross margin. This
margin decline was attributable to a shift toward lower-margin home printers and
imaging devices, as well as higher component costs related to the strong
Japanese yen. However, this negative impact on gross margins was almost fully
offset by favorable gross margins in printer supplies due to economies of scale
from increased production levels. The adjusted 0.3 percentage point decline in
the fiscal year 1999 earnings from operations ratio compared to 1998 resulted
primarily from gross margin declines. These margin declines were due to higher
component costs attributable to the strengthening Japanese yen and a shift
toward lower-margin business printers. This decrease in gross margins was
partially offset by strong sales of higher-margin printer supplies. In fiscal
1999, earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue was impacted
favorably by strong operating expense management; however, this positive impact
was offset by investments made to develop next generation technologies and
additional selling and marketing expenses to promote new imaging and printing
products.

Computing Systems' net revenue increased 18% in fiscal 2000, following a 3%
increase in 1999 when compared to 1998. Strong performance in home and notebook
PCs and solid sales in UNIX-Registered Trademark- server products drove the
overall revenue growth in 2000. This revenue growth was moderated in part by the
continued transition to a new enterprise storage strategy and declining revenue
performance in business desktop PCs. In 1999, strong unit shipments of PC and
information storage products fueled revenue growth. Revenue growth in 1999 was
partially offset by declines in the average selling prices as a result of
actions designed to maintain market share. In addition,
UNIX-Registered Trademark- server and enterprise storage revenue in 1999 was
impacted unfavorably by the change in high-end storage strategy and certain
product transitions.
In fiscal 2000, Computing Systems' revenue growth reflected very strong unit
shipments of home and notebook PCs which was partially offset by lower average
selling prices as a result of competitive pressures. Growth in home PCs was
driven by favorable acceptance of new products aided by the exit of two major
competitors from the retail market. Notebook PCs continued to benefit from
strong sales of the base portfolio as well as introduction of the retail
notebook line. In addition, excellent performance in both the entry-level and
mid-range UNIX-Registered Trademark- servers resulted from increased unit sales
and higher average selling prices due to richer product configurations. High-end
UNIX-Registered Trademark- servers, however, exhibited some weakness in 2000,
attributable primarily to customer anticipation of the new high-end server
introduced in the fourth quarter of 2000. Revenue growth in fiscal 2000 was
impacted unfavorably by declining revenue performance in business desktop PCs
resulting from component shortages and lower average selling prices. Moreover,
the continued transition to a new enterprise storage strategy had a negative
effect on fiscal 2000, although enterprise storage revenues experienced
accelerating growth in the second half of the year. In fiscal 1999, Computing
Systems' revenue growth benefited from strong unit shipments of home PCs,
information storage products, notebook PCs, and high-end
UNIX-Registered Trademark- servers. However, weakness in the sales of low-end
and mid-range UNIX-Registered Trademark- servers due to product transitions,
falling average selling prices, and a transition to a new high-end storage
strategy had a moderating impact on overall revenue growth in 1999.
Earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue was 4.6% in 2000,
compared to 4.8% in 1999 and 2.8% in 1998. The slight decrease in the earnings
from operations ratio for 2000 is attributable to higher memory costs, as well
as a shift to lower-margin products and declining average selling prices,
particularly in home and notebook PCs. This margin decline was partially offset
by a shift to higher-margin UNIX-Registered Trademark- server and enterprise
storage products. In addition, operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue
decreased from 1999 due to improved operational efficiencies. The
2.0 percentage point increase in the earnings from operations ratio for 1999
compared to 1998 reflected favorable component prices, improved PC inventory
management, and a shift towards higher-margin enterprise storage products. This
was moderated in part by declining average selling prices and a shift to low-end
PC products. Expense controls implemented during the second half of 1998 and
improved operational efficiencies also had a favorable impact on the earnings
from operations ratio in 1999.

</TABLE>
IT Services' net revenue increased 14% in fiscal 2000 versus 1999, following
a 10% increase in 1999 compared to 1998. The increase in net revenue was driven
by continued growth in customer support as well as strong performance in
consulting services and HP's financing business. Support revenues continued to
benefit from strength in mission critical and networking services, despite
competitive pricing pressures. Growth in consulting reflected strong demand for
communications solutions, implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP")
and Customer Relationship Management ("CRM") applications, and new e-services
software development. IT Services' overall growth in fiscal 2000 reflected
strength in the UNIX-Registered Trademark- business through an increase in
support contracts and customer financing arrangements. Overall growth also was
impacted favorably by increased revenues from sales of complementary third party
products delivered with sales of HP solutions. In fiscal 1999, strong growth in
support revenue and outsourcing services was moderated by lower growth rates in
consulting and financing. Support revenue reflected the strong performance of
mission critical and networking services. The financing business was unfavorably
impacted by lower rental starts and a more competitive
UNIX-Registered Trademark- environment.
Earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue was 8.9% in 2000,
compared to 9.2% in 1999 and 13.2% in 1998. The decline in the earnings from
operations ratio in fiscal 2000 was due to increases in operating expenses as a
percentage of net revenue partially offset by gross margin improvements.
Operating expenses increased due to bad debt write-offs in our financing
portfolio and higher marketing expense to support HP's corporate branding
initiative. Gross margin improvements were achieved in our services business,
resulting primarily from improved engagement cost management and consolidation
of data centers in outsourcing. These margin increases were partially offset by
lower margins on our complementary products business and an increase in hiring
in our support business in anticipation of future growth.
The decrease in the fiscal 1999 earnings from operations ratio reflected
lease portfolio recoverability costs related primarily to the transition to a
new high-end enterprise storage strategy. Reduced profitability attributable to
slower growth of new services, competitive pricing, and an increase in headcount
in our services businesses to support future growth also negatively impacted
earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue. In addition, operating
expenses increased in 1999 versus 1998 as a result of investment in service and
support technologies and marketing expenses related to HP's e-services
initiatives.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our financial position remained strong throughout 2000, as cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments were $4.0 billion at October 31, 2000
compared to $5.6 billion at October 31, 1999. During fiscal 2000, cash flows
from operating activities and net proceeds from divestitures of non-strategic
portions of our business were used to fund repurchases of HP's common stock and
purchases of property, plant and equipment.

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Operating activities generated $3.5 billion of cash in 2000, compared to
$3.1 billion in 1999 and $4.8 billion in 1998. The increase in cash generated
from operations in 2000 was due mainly to timing of tax payments and accounts
payable offset by increases in inventory and other assets. The decrease in cash
generated from operations in 1999 compared to 1998 resulted primarily from
timing of tax payments and higher investments in receivables and inventories due
to growth.
Inventory as a percentage of net revenue was 11.7% in 2000, comparable to
11.5% in 1999. The inventory ratio was very stable in both years, reflecting
solid supply chain management. Accounts and financing receivables as a
percentage of net revenue were 17.6% in 2000 and 18.5% in 1999.
Capital expenditures were $1.7 billion in 2000, compared to $1.1 billion in
1999 and $1.6 billion in 1998. Net property, plant and equipment as a percentage
of net revenue was 9.2% in 2000 compared to 10.2% in 1999. This decline reflects
our continuing effort to streamline operations through outsourcing and
consolidating activities, improving space utilization and reducing asset
intensity to build flexibility into our balance sheet.
We invest excess cash in short- and long-term investments, depending on our
projected cash needs for operations, capital expenditures and other business
purposes. We also supplement our internally generated cash flow with a
combination of short- and long-term borrowings. The increase in long-term
borrowings in 2000 is due primarily to the issuance of $1.5 billion of Global
Notes described below. Maturities of long-term debt totaling $0.5 billion were
repaid as scheduled in 2000. Short-term borrowings increased in 1999 due to the
use of short-term debt to meet short-term working capital requirements.
Maturities of long-term debt of $1.0 billion were repaid as scheduled in 1999.
At October 31, 2000, we had an unused committed borrowing facility in place
totaling $1.0 billion.
In February 2000, we filed a shelf registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to register $3.0 billion of debt
securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants. This
registration statement was declared effective on March 17, 2000. On June 6,
2000, we offered under the registration statement $1.5 billion of unsecured
7.15% Global Notes which mature June 15, 2005, unless previously redeemed. This
offering closed on June 9, 2000. The net proceeds from the sale of the notes
were used for general corporate purposes, which included repayment of existing
indebtedness, capital expenditures and working capital needs. We have the
capacity to issue an additional $1.5 billion of securities under the shelf
registration statement.
We repurchase shares of our common stock under a systematic program to
manage the dilution created by shares issued under employee stock plans and
under a separate incremental plan authorizing purchases in the open market or in
private transactions. In fiscal 2000, we repurchased 96,978,000 shares under
these plans for an aggregate price of $5.6 billion. In 1999, we repurchased
62,084,000 shares under these plans for $2.6 billion. The share repurchase
amounts for fiscal 2000 and 1999 have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one
stock split in the form of a stock dividend, effective October 27, 2000,
discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 below.
During 2000, HP's Board of Directors authorized an additional $5.0 billion of
future repurchases under these two programs in the aggregate. As of October 31,
2000, we had authorization for remaining future repurchases under the two
programs of approximately $0.9 billion. In November 2000, the Board of Directors
authorized an additional $2.0 billion in future repurchases under the plans,
resulting in remaining authorized repurchases totaling $2.9 billion.
In December 2000, the Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program for
our zero-coupon subordinated convertible notes. Under the repurchase program, we
may repurchase the notes from time to time at varying prices. As of January 19,
2001, we had repurchased approximately $600 million in face
19

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
value of the notes, resulting in a gain on the early extinguishment of debt of
approximately $36 million before taxes.
In November 1999, Agilent Technologies completed an initial public offering
of approximately 16% of its common stock and distributed the net proceeds of
approximately $2.1 billion to HP. We provided initial funding in November 1999
to Agilent Technologies and retained certain assets and liabilities of Agilent
Technologies as of November 1, 1999, which were subsequently liquidated. The
aggregate impact of these transactions resulted in cash flows from discontinued
operations of approximately $1.0 billion and an increase in additional
paid-in-capital of approximately $1.3 billion. We distributed substantially all
of our remaining interest in Agilent Technologies through a stock dividend to HP
stockholders on June 2, 2000, resulting in the elimination of the net assets of
discontinued operations and a $4.2 billion reduction of retained earnings.
FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
COMPETITION
We encounter aggressive competition in all areas of our business. We have
numerous competitors, ranging from some of the world's largest corporations to
many relatively small and highly specialized firms. We compete primarily on the
basis of technology, performance, price, quality, reliability, distribution,
customer service and support. Product life cycles are short. To remain
competitive, we must be able to develop new products, services and support, as
well as periodically enhance our existing products, services and support. In
particular, we anticipate that we will have to continue to lower the prices of
many of our products, services and support to stay competitive and effectively
manage financial returns with resulting reduced gross margins. In some of our
markets, we may not be able to compete successfully against current and future
competitors, and the competitive pressures we face could harm our business and
prospects.
NEW PRODUCT AND SERVICE INTRODUCTIONS
If we cannot continue to rapidly develop, manufacture and market innovative
products and services that meet customer requirements for performance and
reliability, we may lose market share and our future revenue and earnings may
suffer. The process of developing new high technology products and services is
complex and uncertain. We must accurately anticipate customers' changing needs
and emerging technological trends. We consequently must make long-term
investments and commit significant resources before knowing whether our
predictions will eventually result in products that the market will accept.
After a product is developed, we must be able to manufacture sufficient volumes
quickly at low enough costs. To do this we must accurately forecast volumes, mix
of products and configurations. Additionally, the supply and timing of a new
product or service must match customers' demand and timing for the particular
product or service. Given the wide variety of systems, products and services
that HP offers, the process of planning production and managing inventory levels
becomes increasingly difficult.
RELIANCE ON THIRD PARTY DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
We use third-party distributors to sell our products, especially printers
and personal computers, in order to accommodate changing customer preferences.
As a result, the financial soundness of our wholesale and retail distributors,
and our continuing relationships with these distributors, are important to HP's
success. Some of these distributors may have insufficient financial resources
and may not be able to withstand changes in business conditions. Our revenue and
earnings could suffer if our distributors' financial condition or operations
weaken or if our relationships with them deteriorate.
20
<PAGE>
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Additionally, inventory management becomes increasingly complex as we
continue to sell a significant mix of products through distributors. Third party
distributors constantly adjust their product orders from us in response to:
- The supply of our and our competitors' products available to the
distributor,
- The timing of new product introductions and relative features of the
products, and
- Seasonal fluctuations in end-user demand, such as back-to-school and
holiday buying.
Distributors may increase orders during times of product shortages, cancel
orders if their inventory is too high, or delay orders in anticipation of new
products. If we have excess inventory, we may have to reduce our prices and
write down inventory, which in turn could result in lower gross margins.
SHORT PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES
The short life cycles of many of our products pose a challenge for us to
manage effectively the transition from existing products to new products. If we
do not manage the transition effectively, our revenue and earnings could suffer.
Among the factors that make a smooth transition from current products to new
products difficult are delays in product development or manufacturing,
variations in product costs and delays in customer purchases of existing
products in anticipation of new product introductions. Our revenue and earnings
could also suffer due to the timing of product or service introductions by our
suppliers and competitors. This is especially true when a competitor introduces
a new product just before our own product introduction. Furthermore, our new
products may replace or compete with a certain number of our own current
products.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We generally rely upon patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in
the U.S. and in certain other countries, and agreements with our employees,
customers and partners, to establish and maintain our proprietary rights in our
technology and products. However, any of our intellectual proprietary rights
could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Our intellectual property may
not necessarily provide significant competitive advantages. Also, because of the
rapid pace of technological change in the information technology industry, many
of our products rely on key technologies developed by third parties, and we may
not be able to continue to obtain licenses from these third parties. Third
parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property. Even if we
do not believe that our products are infringing third parties' intellectual
property rights, the claims can be time-consuming and costly to defend and
divert management's attention and resources away from our business. Claims of
intellectual property infringement might also require us to enter into costly
royalty or license agreements. If we cannot or do not license the infringed
technology or substitute similar technology from another source, our business
could suffer.
RELIANCE ON SUPPLIERS
Our manufacturing operations depend on our suppliers' ability to deliver
quality components and products in time for us to meet critical manufacturing
and distribution schedules. We sometimes experience a short supply of certain
component parts as a result of strong demand in the industry for those parts. If
shortages or delays persist, our operating results could suffer until other
sources can be developed. In order to secure components for the production of
new products, at times we make advance payments to suppliers, or we may enter
into non-cancelable purchase commitments with vendors. If the prices of these
component parts then decrease after we have entered into binding price
agreements, our earnings could suffer. Furthermore, we may not be able to secure
enough components at reasonable prices to build new
21
<PAGE>
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
products in a timely manner in the quantities and configurations needed.
Conversely, a temporary oversupply of these parts also could adversely affect
our operating results.
INTERNATIONAL
Sales outside the U.S. make up more than half of our revenues. A portion of
our product and component manufacturing, along with key suppliers, are also
located outside of the U.S. Our future earnings or financial position could be
adversely affected by a variety of international factors, including:
- Changes in a country's or region's political or economic conditions,
- Trade protection measures,
- Import or export licensing requirements,
- The overlap of different tax structures,
- Unexpected changes in regulatory requirements,
- Differing technology standards,
- Problems caused by the conversion of various European currencies to the
Euro (see "Adoption of the Euro" section below), and
- Natural disasters.
MARKET RISK
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in our sales
commitments, anticipated sales and assets and liabilities denominated in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We are also exposed to interest rate risk
inherent in our debt and investment portfolios. Our risk management strategy
uses derivative financial instruments, including forwards, swaps and purchased
options, to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Our
intent is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures,
with gains and losses on the derivative contracts hedging these exposures. We do
not enter into derivatives for trading purposes. We are also exposed to equity
securities price risk on our portfolio of marketable equity securities. We
typically do not attempt to reduce or eliminate our market exposure on these
securities. See also Notes 4 and 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in
Item 8 below for more detailed information.
We have performed a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 10% adverse
movement in foreign exchange rates applied to the hedging contracts and
underlying exposures described above, and a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in
interest rates applied to our debt and investment portfolios. As of October 31,
2000 and 1999, the analysis indicated that these hypothetical market movements
would not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows. Actual gains and losses in the future may differ
materially from that analysis; however, based on changes in the timing and
amount of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate movements and our
actual exposures and hedges.
IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENT AND FINANCING PORTFOLIOS
We have an investment portfolio which includes minority equity and debt
investments in numerous technology companies. In particular, we have invested in
various privately held companies, many of which are still in the start-up or
development stage. These investments are inherently risky because the markets
for the technologies or products they have under development are typically in
the early stages and may never develop. Furthermore, the values of our
investments in publicly-traded companies are subject to
22
<PAGE>
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
significant market price volatility. We may incur losses related to our
investments in these companies. Our investments in technology companies are
often coupled with a strategic commercial relationship. Our commercial
agreements with these companies may not be sufficient to allow us to obtain and
integrate such products or technology into our technology or product lines, and
these companies may be subsequently acquired by third parties, including
competitors of ours.
Moreover, we often provide financing for the purchase of our products and
services to technology companies. Due to the recent economic downturn,
particularly in the U.S., and difficulties that may be faced by some of these
companies, our financing portfolio could be further impaired.
ACQUISITIONS, STRATEGIC ALLIANCES, JOINT VENTURES AND DIVESTITURES
In the normal course of business, we frequently engage in discussions with
third parties relating to possible acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint
ventures and divestitures. Although completion of any one transaction may not
have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows taken as a whole, it may contribute to our financial results differing
from the investment community's expectations in a given quarter. Divestiture of
a part of our business may result in the cancellation of orders and charges to
earnings. Acquisitions and strategic alliances may require us to integrate with
a different company culture, management team and business infrastructure. We may
also have to develop, manufacture and market products with our products in a way
that enhances the performance of the combined business or product line.
Depending on the size and complexity of an acquisition, our successful
integration of the entity into HP depends on a variety of factors, including:
- The hiring and retention of key employees,
- Management of facilities and employees in separate geographic areas, and
- The integration or coordination of different research and development and
product manufacturing facilities.
All of these efforts require varying levels of management resources, which
may divert our attention from other business operations.
EARTHQUAKES AND POWER OUTAGES
Our corporate headquarters, a portion of our research and development
activities, other critical business operations and a certain number of our
suppliers are located in California. The ultimate impact on HP, our significant
suppliers and our general infrastructure of being located near major earthquake
faults is unknown, but operating results could be materially adversely affected
in the event of a major earthquake. In addition, California has recently
experienced ongoing power shortages, which have resulted in "rolling blackouts."
These blackouts could cause disruptions to our operations and the operations of
our suppliers, distributors and resellers, and customers. We are predominantly
uninsured for losses and interruptions caused by earthquakes and power outages.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Some of our operations use substances regulated under various federal, state
and international laws governing the environment. It is our policy to apply
strict standards for environmental protection to sites inside and outside the
U.S., even when not subject to local government regulations. We record a
liability for environmental remediation and related costs when we consider the
costs to be probable and the amount of the costs can be reasonably estimated.
Environmental costs are presently not material to our results of operations or
financial position.
23

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
PROFIT MARGIN
Our profit margins vary somewhat among our products, customer groups and
geographic markets. Consequently, our overall profitability in any given period
is partially dependent on the product, customer and geographic mix reflected in
that period's net revenue.
STOCK PRICE
HP's stock price, like that of other technology companies, can be volatile.
Some of the factors that can affect our stock price are:
- Our, or a competitor's, announcement of new products, services or
technological innovations,
- Quarterly increases or decreases in our earnings,
- Changes in revenue or earnings estimates by the investment community, and
- Speculation in the press or investment community about our financial
condition or results of operations.
General market conditions and domestic or international macroeconomic
factors unrelated to our performance may also affect our stock price. For these
reasons, investors should not rely on recent trends to predict future stock
prices or financial results. In addition, following periods of volatility in a
company's securities, securities class action litigation against a company is
sometimes instituted. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs
and the diversion of management time and resources.
ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY
The revenue growth and profitability of our business depends significantly
on the overall demand for computing and imaging products and services,
particularly in the product and service segments in which we compete. Softening
demand for these products and services caused by worsening economic conditions
may result in decreased revenues or earnings levels or growth rates. Recently,
the U.S. economy has weakened. This has resulted in individuals and companies
delaying or reducing expenditures, such as for information technology.
HP has reported that, based on worsening economic conditions and a decrease
in corporate and consumer information technology spending, primarily in the
U.S., HP expects to achieve slower revenue growth rates for the first half of
fiscal year 2001 and earnings per share below previous estimates for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2001. Further delays or reductions in information
technology spending could have a material adverse effect on demand for our
products and services, and consequently on our business, operating results,
financial condition, prospects and stock price.
EARNINGS FLUCTUATIONS
Although we believe that we have the products and resources needed for
continuing success, we cannot reliably predict future revenue and margin trends.
Actual trends may cause us to adjust our operations, which could cause
period-to-period fluctuations in our earnings.
SPIN-OFF OF AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES
On June 2, 2000, we distributed to our stockholders of record as of the
close of business on May 2, 2000, substantially all of the common stock of
Agilent Technologies owned by HP. We may not obtain the benefits we expect as a
result of this distribution, such as greater strategic focus on our core
computing and imaging and printing businesses.
24
<PAGE>
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
In conjunction with the spin-off of Agilent Technologies, we entered into
transitional service agreements with Agilent Technologies to support ongoing
operations of Agilent Technologies relating to certain administrative processes.
These transitional service agreements generally have terms of two years or less
following the spin-off. As each of these service agreements expires, the fees
and cost reimbursements currently being paid to us by Agilent Technologies for
the associated services will also cease.
ADOPTION OF THE EURO
We had established a dedicated task force to address the issues raised by
the introduction of a European single currency, the Euro. The Euro's initial
implementation was effective as of January 1, 1999, and the transition period
will continue through January 1, 2002. On January 1, 1999, we began converting
our product prices from local currencies to Euros as required. We implemented
system changes to give multi-currency capability to internal applications and to
ensure that external partners' systems processing Euro conversions are compliant
with the European Council regulations. In addition, we have implemented design
changes to support display and printing of the Euro character by impacted HP
products.
The introduction and use of the Euro has not had a material effect on our
foreign exchange and hedging activities or our use of derivative instruments,
and we do not presently expect that it will. All costs associated with the
conversion to the Euro are expensed to operations as incurred. While we will
continue to evaluate the impact of the Euro over time, based on currently
available information, we do not believe that the introduction of the Euro
currency will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial
condition, cash flows or results of operations.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and requires
recognition of all derivatives as assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial position and measurement of those instruments at fair value.
Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings.
If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in
fair value will be either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged
assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in
other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. HP
adopted the standard on November 1, 2000, and the adoption did not materially
impact our consolidated financial statements.
In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." This bulletin summarizes certain
of the SEC's views in applying accounting principles generally accepted in the
U.S. to revenue recognition in financial statements. Based on the SEC's latest
timeline for implementing SAB 101, HP would be required to comply with the
guidelines in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001. Accordingly, we are
continuing to evaluate the potential impact that adoption will have on our
consolidated financial statements.

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HP and its
wholly-owned and controlled majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in HP's financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from product sales is generally recognized at the time the product
is shipped, with provisions established for price protection programs and for
estimated product returns. Upon shipment, HP also provides for the estimated
cost that may be incurred for product warranties and post-sales support.
Coupons, rebates and other cash sales incentives offered by HP to its customers
are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of sale. Service revenue is
recognized over the contractual period or as services are rendered and accepted
by the customer.
FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
Revenues from the sale of equipment under sales-type leases and
direct-financing leases are recognized at the inception of the lease. Associated
finance income is earned on an accrual basis under an effective annual yield
method. Leases not qualifying as sales-type or direct-financing are accounted
for as operating leases and related revenues are recognized over the lease term.
The underlying equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
initial term of the operating lease to its estimated residual value.
ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $1.1 billion in
2000, $1.3 billion in 1999 and $1.2 billion in 1998.
TAXES ON EARNINGS
Income tax expense is based on pretax financial accounting income. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized principally for the expected tax
consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their reported amounts.
NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
HP's basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated based on net earnings
and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting
period. Diluted EPS includes additional dilution from potential issuance of
common stock, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options
outstanding and the conversion of debt. All share and per-share amounts reflect
the retroactive effects of all stock splits including the two-for-one stock
split in the form of a stock dividend effective October 27, 2000.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
HP classifies investments as cash equivalents if the original maturity of an
investment is three months or less from the purchase date. Short-term
investments principally consist of time deposits and money-market instruments.
Cash equivalents and short-term investments are stated at cost, which
approximates market value.
INVENTORY
Inventory is valued at standard cost which approximates actual cost computed
on a first-in, first-out basis, not in excess of market value.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Additions, improvements and
major renewals are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are
expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided using accelerated methods,
principally over 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to
10 years for machinery and equipment. Depreciation of leasehold improvements is
provided using the straight-line method over the life of the lease or the asset,
whichever is shorter.
CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE
In fiscal 2000, HP adopted Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 98-1,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use." Internal use software costs are not material. With the adoption
of SOP 98-1, HP began capitalizing certain internal and external costs incurred
to acquire or create internal use software, principally related to software
coding, designing system interfaces, installation and testing of the software.
Capitalized costs are amortized over three years.
LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS
HP's long-term investments, which are included in long-term investments and
other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet, consist of U.S.
government, corporate and other debt securities as well as public and nonpublic
corporate equity securities. HP's equity securities totaled $1.9 billion at
October 31, 2000 and $1.4 billion at October 31, 1999. Investments in equity
securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at estimated
fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included in
accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders'
equity. Minority equity investments in nonpublic companies are generally carried
at cost. Investments accounted for using the equity method are not material. HP
monitors these investments for impairment and records appropriate reductions in
carrying values when necessary. Investments in debt securities are classified as
held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
HP uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Foreign currency assets
and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars at end-of-period exchange
rates, except for inventory, property, plant and equipment, other assets and
deferred revenues, which are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Revenue
and expenses are remeasured at average exchange rates in effect during each
period, except for
34
<PAGE>
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
those expenses related to balance sheet amounts which are remeasured at
historical exchange rates. Gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurement
are included in net earnings.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income includes net earnings as well as other comprehensive
income. HP's other comprehensive income consists of unrealized gains and losses
on available-for-sale securities. Total comprehensive income and the components
of accumulated other comprehensive income are presented in the accompanying
Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity. Total accumulated other
comprehensive income is displayed as a separate component of stockholders'
equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances in order to
conform to the current year presentation.
RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and requires recognition of all
derivatives as assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and
measurement of those instruments at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges
must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. If the derivative is a hedge,
depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in fair value will be either
offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or
firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income
until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. HP adopted the standard on
November 1, 2000, and the adoption did not materially impact its consolidated
financial statements.
In December 1999, the SEC issued SAB No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements." This bulletin summarizes certain of the SEC's views in
applying accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. to revenue
recognition in financial statements. Based on the SEC's latest timeline for
implementing SAB 101, HP would be required to comply with the guidelines in the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001. Accordingly, HP is continuing to evaluate
the potential impact that adoption will have on its consolidated financial
statements.

The shares issuable upon exercise of certain of HP's stock options were
excluded from the calculation of diluted net earnings per share because the
exercise price of these options was greater than the average market price of the
common shares, and therefore the effect would have been antidilutive. The shares
issuable upon exercise of such options which were excluded were 37,666,000 in
2000, 1,817,000 in 1999 and 799,000 in 1998.
NOTE 3: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On March 2, 1999, HP announced its intention to launch a new company,
subsequently named Agilent Technologies, through a distribution of Agilent
Technologies common stock to HP's stockholders in the form of a tax-free
spin-off. Agilent Technologies is composed of HP's former Measurement
Organization, which included the test-and-measurement, semiconductor products,
chemical analysis and healthcare solutions businesses. Effective July 31, 1999,
HP's management and Board of Directors completed the plan
36
<PAGE>
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 3: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
of disposition for Agilent Technologies. HP's consolidated financial statements
for all periods present Agilent Technologies as a discontinued business segment
through the spin-off date of June 2, 2000 in accordance with APB Opinion
No. 30.
In November 1999, Agilent Technologies completed an initial public offering
of approximately 16% of its common stock and distributed the net proceeds of
approximately $2.1 billion to HP. HP provided initial funding in November 1999
to Agilent Technologies and retained certain assets and liabilities of Agilent
Technologies as of November 1, 1999, which were subsequently liquidated. The
aggregate impact of these transactions resulted in cash flows from discontinued
operations of approximately $1.0 billion and an increase in additional
paid-in-capital of approximately $1.3 billion.
HP distributed substantially all of its remaining interest in Agilent
Technologies through a stock dividend to HP stockholders on June 2, 2000,
resulting in the elimination of the net assets of discontinued operations and a
$4.2 billion reduction of retained earnings. The decrease in the intrinsic value
of HP's employee stock plans attributable to the distribution of Agilent
Technologies was restored in accordance with the methodology set forth in the
FASB Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue 90-9, "Changes to Fixed Employee
Stock Option Plans as a Result of Equity Restructuring."
In the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the cumulative net earnings of Agilent
Technologies since the July 31, 1999 measurement date began to exceed the total
estimated net costs to effect the spin-off. Net earnings from discontinued
operations for fiscal 2000 were $136 million. Of this $136 million, net earnings
of Agilent Technologies for the period from July 31, 1999 through the June 2,
2000 spin-off date totaled $287 million (net of related tax expense of
$174 million), and the net costs to effect the spin-off were $151 million (net
of related tax benefit of $23 million). Net earnings from discontinued
operations for fiscal years 1999 and 1998 consisted only of the net earnings of
Agilent Technologies.
NOTE 4: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
For a certain number of HP's financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, financing receivables,
notes payable and short-term borrowings, accounts payable and other accrued
liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short
maturities. Long-term floating rate notes are also carried at amounts that
approximate fair value. The estimated fair value of fixed rate long-term debt is
primarily based on quoted market prices, as well as borrowing rates currently
available to HP for bank loans with similar terms and maturities. This fair
value, when adjusted for unrealized gains and losses on related interest rate
swap agreements, approximates the carrying amount of long-term debt, with the
exception of HP's zero-coupon convertible notes. Due to the conversion feature,
these notes had a fair value in excess of book value by approximately
$216 million at October 31, 2000.
HP's investments in marketable equity securities are considered
available-for-sale and investments in debt securities are considered
held-to-maturity. Investments classified as available-for-sale securities are
carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included in
accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders'
equity. Investments classified as held-to-maturity securities are carried at
amortized cost.
HP's available-for-sale securities consist of long-term corporate equity
securities which are classified as long-term investments and other assets in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of
37
<PAGE>
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 4: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
October 31, 2000, these securities were recorded at an estimated fair value of
$328 million, with a cost basis of $176 million. As of October 31, 2000, gross
unrealized gains were $216 million and gross unrealized losses were
$64 million. At October 31, 1999, the estimated fair value of investments in
available-for-sale securities approximated their cost basis.
Proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities were $100 million in
2000, $31 million in 1999 and $25 million in 1998. The gross realized gains
totaled $94 million in 2000, $31 million in 1999 and $15 million in 1998. The
specific identification method is used to account for gains and losses on
marketable equity securities.
Investments in debt securities held-to-maturity are included in short-term
investments and long-term investments and other assets on the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheet. These debt securities were as follows at October 31:

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 4: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
HP enters into foreign exchange contracts, primarily forwards and purchased
options, to hedge against exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange
rates. Such contracts are designated at inception to the related foreign
currency exposures being hedged, which include sales by subsidiaries, and assets
and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
To achieve hedge accounting, contracts must reduce the foreign currency exchange
rate risk otherwise inherent in the amount and duration of the hedged exposures
and comply with established company risk management policies. Hedging contracts
generally mature within six months.
When hedging sales-related exposure, foreign exchange contract expirations
are set so as to occur in the same month the hedged shipments occur, allowing
realized gains and losses on the contracts to be recognized in net revenue in
the same periods in which the related revenues are recognized. When hedging
balance sheet exposure, realized gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts
are recognized in other income and expense in the same period as the realized
gains and losses on remeasurement of the foreign currency denominated assets and
liabilities occur. All gains and losses related to foreign exchange contracts
are included in cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
The notional amount of foreign exchange contracts outstanding was
$17.1 billion at October 31, 2000 and $13.7 billion at October 31, 1999. The
contracts related to exposures in approximately 30 foreign currencies. The
notional amount represents the future cash flows under contracts to both
purchase and sell foreign currencies. Unrealized gains on hedging contracts
deferred under HP's hedge accounting policies amounted to $201 million at
October 31, 2000, and unrealized losses totaled $40 million. At October 31,
1999, unrealized gains were $113 million and unrealized losses were
$113 million. Unamortized premiums and realized gains deferred under currency
options were not material at October 31, 2000 and at October 31, 1999.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject HP to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, investments, accounts
receivable, financing receivables and certain other financial instruments.
HP maintains cash and cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments and
certain other financial instruments with various financial institutions. These
financial institutions are located in many different geographical regions, and
company policy is designed to limit exposure with any one institution. As part
of its cash and risk management processes, HP performs periodic evaluations of
the relative credit standing of the financial institutions. HP has not sustained
material credit losses from these instruments.
HP sells a significant portion of its products through third-party resellers
and, as a result, maintains individually significant receivable balances with
major distributors. If the financial condition or operations of these
distributors deteriorate substantially, HP's operating results could be
adversely affected. The ten largest distributor receivable balances collectively
represented 31% of total accounts receivable at October 31, 2000 and 27% at
October 31, 1999. Credit risk with respect to other accounts receivable and
financing receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of
entities comprising HP's customer base and their dispersion across many
different industries and geographical regions. HP performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its third-party resellers' and other customers' financial
condition and requires collateral, such as letters of credit and bank
guarantees, in certain circumstances.

NOTE 5: FINANCING RECEIVABLES AND INVESTMENT IN OPERATING LEASES
Financing receivables represent sales-type and direct-financing leases and
installment sales resulting from the marketing of HP's, and complementary
third-party, products. These receivables typically have terms from two to five
years and are usually collateralized by a security interest in the underlying
assets. The components of net financing receivables, which are included in
financing receivables and long-term investments and other assets, were as
follows at October 31:

$197 million in 2004, $87 million in 2005 and $49 million thereafter. Actual
cash collections may differ primarily due to customer early buy-outs and
refinancings.
HP also leases its products to customers under operating leases. Equipment
on operating leases was $1,477 million at October 31, 2000 and $1,282 million at
October 31, 1999 and is included in machinery and equipment. Accumulated
depreciation on equipment on operating leases was $687 million at October 31,
2000 and $607 million at October 31, 1999. Minimum future rentals on
non-cancelable operating leases with original terms of one year or longer are
$585 million in 2001, $313 million in 2002, $91 million in 2003, $13 million in

NOTE 9: ACQUISITIONS
HP acquired several companies during the last three years that were not
significant to its financial position or results of operations. All acquisitions
were accounted for using the purchase method. Under the purchase method, the
results of operations of acquired companies are included prospectively from the
date of acquisition, and the acquisition cost is allocated to the acquirees'
tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based upon their
fair market values at the date of the acquisition, with any residual being
goodwill. In-process research and development write-offs have not been
significant. HP amortizes goodwill on a straight-line basis over its estimated
economic life, generally two to ten years. The net book value of goodwill
associated with acquisitions was $224 million at October 31, 2000 and
$189 million at October 31, 1999.
On a periodic basis, HP evaluates the carrying value of intangible assets
and goodwill to determine if the facts and circumstances suggest that they may
be impaired. If this review indicates the asset carrying value may not be
recoverable based on the undiscounted cash flows method, HP's carrying value
will be reduced.

HP has not provided for U.S. federal income and foreign withholding taxes on
$11.5 billion of undistributed earnings from non-U.S. and Puerto Rico operations
as of October 31, 2000 because such earnings are intended to be reinvested
indefinitely. If these earnings were distributed, foreign tax credits may become
available under current law to reduce or eliminate the resulting U.S. income tax
liability. Where excess cash has accumulated in HP's non-U.S. subsidiaries and
it is advantageous for tax or foreign exchange reasons, subsidiary earnings are
remitted.
As a result of certain employment actions and capital investments undertaken
by HP, income from manufacturing activities in certain countries is subject to
reduced tax rates, and in some cases is wholly exempt from taxes, for years
through 2013. The income tax benefits attributable to the tax status of these
subsidiaries are estimated to be $969 million in 2000, $690 million in 1999 and
$435 million in 1998.
The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has examined HP's income tax returns
for years 1993 through 1995, and completed its examination of all years through
1992. The IRS has commenced its examination of returns for years 1996 to 1998.
HP believes that adequate accruals have been provided for all years.

HP issues long-term debt in either U.S. dollars or foreign currencies based
on market conditions at the time of financing. Interest rate and foreign
currency swaps are then used to modify the market risk exposures in connection
with the debt to achieve primarily U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating interest
expense and to neutralize exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange
rates. The swap transactions generally involve the exchange of fixed for
floating interest payment obligations and, when the underlying debt is
denominated in a foreign currency, exchange of the foreign currency principal
and interest obligations for U.S. dollar-denominated amounts. Notional amounts
and maturities under the swaps generally match those of the underlying debt.
Unrealized gains and losses on currency swaps hedging foreign currency debt are
recognized as other assets and other liabilities.
In February 2000, HP filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC to
register $3.0 billion of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock,
depositary shares and warrants. This registration statement was declared
effective on March 17, 2000. On June 6, 2000, HP offered under the registration
statement $1.5 billion of unsecured 7.15% Global Notes which mature June 15,
2005, unless previously redeemed. This offering closed on June 9, 2000. The net
proceeds from the sale of the notes were used for general corporate purposes,
which included repayment of existing indebtedness, capital expenditures and
working capital needs. HP has the capacity to issue an additional $1.5 billion
of securities under the shelf registration statement.
In October 1997, HP issued $1.8 billion face value of zero-coupon
subordinated convertible notes for proceeds of $968 million, and in
November 1997 issued an additional $200 million face value of the notes for
proceeds of $108 million. The notes are due in 2017. They are convertible by the
holders at the rate of 15.09 shares of HP's common stock for each $1,000 face
value of the notes, payable in either cash or common stock at HP's election. At
any time, HP may redeem the notes at book value, payable in cash only. The notes
are subordinated to all other existing and future senior indebtedness of HP.
Through October 31, 2000, conversions had not been material. See Note 17 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion on repurchases of these notes
subsequent to October 31, 2000.
Aggregate future maturities of the face value of the long-term debt
outstanding at October 31, 2000 are $202 million in 2001, $170 million in 2002,
$98 million in 2003, $209 million in 2004, $1,750 million in 2005 and
$1,985 million thereafter. HP occasionally repurchases its debt prior to
maturity based on its assessment of current market conditions and financing
alternatives.

NOTE 12: STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
REINCORPORATION
Effective May 20, 1998, HP changed its state of incorporation from
California to Delaware. In connection with the change, the par value of HP's
stock decreased from $1.00 to $0.01 per share, resulting in a transfer of
$2.1 billion from common stock to additional paid-in capital after adjusting for
the effect of the two-for-one stock split discussed below. There was no impact
to HP's financial condition or results of operations as a result of the
reincorporation.
DIVIDENDS
The stockholders of HP common stock are entitled to receive dividends when
and as declared by HP's Board of Directors. Dividends are paid quarterly.
Dividends were $0.32 per share in 2000, $0.32 per share in 1999 and $0.30 per
share in 1998, after adjusting for the effect of the two-for-one stock split
discussed below.
STOCK SPLIT
On August 16, 2000, HP's Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock
split in the form of a stock dividend. On October 27, 2000, HP distributed one
additional share of HP common stock for every share of common stock outstanding
to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 27, 2000. HP
had a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock to
effect this stock split. The par value of HP's common stock after the split
remained at $0.01 per share, and additional paid-in capital was reduced by the
par value of the additional common shares issued. The rights of the holders of
these securities were not otherwise modified. All shares, per-share and market
price data related to HP's common shares outstanding and under employee stock
plans reflect the retroactive effects of this stock split.
AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES SPIN-OFF
On June 2, 2000 ("the distribution date"), HP distributed substantially all
of its remaining interest in Agilent Technologies through a stock dividend to HP
stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 2, 2000. This
distribution was made in the amount of 0.3814 share of Agilent Technologies
common stock for each outstanding share of HP common stock. The decrease in the
intrinsic value of HP's employee stock plans attributable to the distribution of
Agilent Technologies was restored in accordance with the methodology set forth
in the FASB EITF Issue 90-9, "Changes to Fixed Employee Stock Option Plans as a
Result of Equity Restructuring." Accordingly, the number of HP employee options
and shares of restricted stock not yet released (including unvested matching
shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP")) outstanding on May 2,
2000 were increased, and in the case of options, the exercise prices were
correspondingly decreased to reflect the decline in intrinsic value on the
distribution date. Holders of options that were exercised and shares of
restricted stock which were released prior to May 2, 2000 received shares of
Agilent Technologies in connection with the spin-off.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
As of October 31, 2000 employees may no longer make contributions to HP's
prior ESPP. The unvested matching shares for stock purchased up to and including
October 31, 2000 will continue to vest over the two-year vesting period as is
consistent with the terms of the plan.

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 12: STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
Eligible company employees could generally contribute up to 10% of their
base compensation to the quarterly purchase of shares of HP's common stock under
the prior ESPP. Under this plan, employee contributions to purchase shares were
partially matched with shares contributed by HP, which generally vested over two
years. At October 31, 2000, approximately 83,000 employees were eligible to
participate and approximately 51,000 employees were participants in the plan. HP
contributed to employees, including persons who became employees of Agilent
Technologies, 2,534,000 matching shares at a weighted-average price of $50 in
2000, 3,622,000 matching shares at a weighted-average price of $39 in 1999, and
4,346,000 matching shares at a weighted-average price of $31 in 1998. On the
distribution date, 569,000 shares of HP stock held by Agilent Technologies
employees were forfeited. Agilent Technologies replaced the forfeited HP shares
with shares of Agilent Technologies stock of equivalent value. Compensation
expense recognized under the plan related to continuing operations was $89
million in 2000, $99 million in 1999 and $67 million in 1998.
Beginning November 1, 2000, HP adopted a new ESPP approved by HP's Board of
Directors and stockholders. This plan qualifies under Section 423 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under the new plan, any regular
full-time or part-time employee may contribute up to 10% of their base
compensation to the semi-annual purchase of shares of HP's common stock. The
purchase price is 85% of the fair market value at certain plan-defined dates. HP
has 100,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for future purchases under the
new ESPP.
INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS
HP has four principal stock option plans, adopted in 1985, 1990, 1995 and
2000, under which stock options are outstanding. All plans permit options
granted to qualify as "Incentive Stock Options" under the Internal Revenue Code.
The exercise price of a stock option is generally equal to the fair market value
of HP's common stock on the date the option is granted and its term is generally
ten years. Under the 1990 and 1995 Incentive Stock Plans and the 2000 Stock
Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may choose, in
certain cases, to establish a discounted exercise price at no less than 75% of
fair market value on the grant date. HP granted 5,151,000 shares of discounted
options in 2000, 2,754,000 shares in 1999 and 2,100,000 shares in 1998. Options
generally vest at a rate of 25% per year over a period of four years from the
date of grant, with the exception of discounted options. Discounted options
generally may not be exercised until the third or fifth anniversary of the
option grant date, at which time such options become 100% vested. The cost of
the discounted options, determined to be the difference between the exercise
price of the option and the fair market value of HP's common stock on the date
of the option grant, is expensed ratably over the option vesting period.
On June 5, 2000, HP's Board of Directors approved a one-time grant of stock
options to regular employees of HP on that date. In total, 17,553,000 options
were granted to approximately 87,000 employees. The options were granted at the
fair market value on the date of grant and expire ten years from the grant date.
The options vest on the earlier of the fifth anniversary from the grant date or
the first date after the grant date as of which the stock price has remained at
or above 175% of the exercise price for twenty consecutive business days. All
other terms of this grant are consistent with the 2000 Stock Plan.

October 31, 2000, 54,035,000 at October 31, 1999 and 94,140,000 at October 31,
1998. All regular employees were considered eligible to receive stock options in
fiscal 2000. There were approximately 87,000 employees holding options under one
or more of the option plans as of October 31, 2000.
Under the 1985 Incentive Compensation Plan, the 1990 and 1995 Incentive
Stock Plans and the 2000 Stock Plan, certain employees were granted cash or
restricted stock awards. Cash and restricted stock awards are independent of
option grants and are subject to restrictions considered appropriate by the
Compensation Committee. The majority of the shares of restricted stock
outstanding at October 31, 2000 are subject to forfeiture if employment
terminates prior to three years from the date of grant. During that period,
ownership of the shares cannot be transferred. Restricted stock has the same
cash dividend and voting rights as other common stock and is considered to be
currently issued and outstanding. The cost of the awards, determined to be the
fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, is expensed ratably over
the period the restrictions lapse. HP had 6,079,000 shares of restricted stock
outstanding at October 31, 2000 and 10,054,000 shares outstanding at
October 31, 1999.
Compensation expense recognized under incentive compensation plans related

Information presented above regarding the incentive compensation plans
includes activity related to Agilent Technologies employees through the
distribution date, except as noted. Under the existing terms of the stock option
plans, substantially all stock options held by Agilent Technologies employees
were cancelled and replaced with Agilent Technologies stock options, or became
fully vested on the distribution date. The fully vested options, if not
exercised, expired within three months from the distribution date. Options held
by Agilent Technologies employees totaling 25,543,000 were cancelled and
replaced with Agilent Technologies stock options. On the distribution date,
812,000 options became fully vested and of this amount, 91,000 options expired
three months from that date. Shares of HP restricted stock held by Agilent
Technologies employees totaling 1,177,000 were forfeited and cancelled on or
before the distribution date and were replaced with shares of Agilent
Technologies stock of equivalent value.
PRO FORMA INFORMATION
HP applies the intrinsic-value-based method prescribed by APB Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for employee
stock options. Accordingly, compensation expense is recognized only when options
are granted with a discounted exercise price. Any resulting compensation expense
is recognized ratably over the associated service period, which is generally the
option vesting term.
HP has determined pro forma net earnings and earnings per share information,
as required by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," as if HP
had accounted for employee stock options under SFAS 123's fair value method. The
fair value of these options was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
2000 1999 1998
-------- -------- --------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Risk-free interest rate........................... 6.88% 5.53% 5.38%
Dividend yield.................................... 0.7% 1.0% 1.0%
Volatility........................................ 34% 30% 30%
Expected option life.............................. 7 years 7 years 7 years
</TABLE>
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the four-year average vesting period of the
options. The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year was
$24.40 in 2000, $15.46 in 1999 and $10.84 in 1998. HP's pro forma net earnings
from continuing operations is $3.2 billion for 2000, $3.0 billion for 1999 and
$2.6 billion for 1998. Pro forma diluted net earnings per share from continuing
operations is $1.54 for 2000, $1.43 for 1999 and $1.23 for 1998. These pro forma
amounts only include amortized fair values attributable to options granted after
October 31, 1995.
SHARES RESERVED
HP had 411,845,000 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under
the employee stock plans at October 31, 2000 and 195,248,000 shares reserved at
October 31, 1999, not including the 100,000,000 shares of common stock reserved
for future issuance under the new ESPP.

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
HP repurchases shares of its common stock under a systematic program to
manage the dilution created by shares issued under employee stock plans, and
under a separate incremental plan authorizing purchases in the open market or in
private transactions. In 2000, 96,978,000 shares were repurchased under these
plans for an aggregate price of $5.6 billion; in 1999, 62,084,000 shares were
repurchased for $2.6 billion; and in 1998, 86,046,000 shares were repurchased
for $2.4 billion. During 2000, HP's Board of Directors authorized an additional
$5.0 billion of future repurchases under these two programs in the aggregate. As
of October 31, 2000, HP had authorization for remaining future repurchases under
the two programs of approximately $0.9 billion. See Note 17 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for a discussion on additional authorizations subsequent to
October 31, 2000.
NOTE 13: RETIREMENT AND POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
GENERAL
Substantially all of HP's employees are covered under various pension and
deferred profit-sharing retirement plans. In addition, HP sponsors health care
and life insurance plans that provide benefits to retired U.S. employees.
AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES SPIN-OFF
On the distribution date, Agilent Technologies assumed responsibility for
pension, deferred profit-sharing and other post-retirement benefits for current
and former employees whose last work assignment prior to the distribution date
was with businesses spun-off to Agilent Technologies. In the U.S., the
Hewlett-Packard Company Retirement Plan and Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan Master
Trust was converted to the Group Trust for the Hewlett-Packard Company Deferred
Profit-Sharing Plan and Retirement Plan and the Agilent Technologies, Inc.
Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan and Retirement Plan ("the Group Trust"). Both the
HP and Agilent Technologies Retirement Plans include post-retirement medical
accounts. A pro-rata share of the assets of the Group Trust was assigned to the
HP Retirement Plan and Deferred Profit-Sharing Trusts and the respective Agilent
Technologies' Trusts. Outside the U.S., generally, a pro-rata share of the HP
pension assets, if any, was transferred or otherwise assigned to the Agilent
Technologies entity in accordance with local law or practice. The pro-rata
shares were in the same proportion as the projected benefit obligations for HP
employees to the total projected benefit obligations of HP and Agilent
Technologies as of April 30, 2000. For all periods presented, the assets and
liabilities related to the retirement and post-retirement benefit plans of
Agilent Technologies are included in net assets of discontinued operations in
HP's accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet through the spin-off date of
June 2, 2000 and the related costs are included in net earnings of discontinued
operations in HP's accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings through
June 2, 2000. The information in the accompanying schedules for all periods
relates to the HP Plans and excludes Agilent Technologies.
ENHANCED EARLY RETIREMENT
In March 2000, HP offered approximately 2,500 U.S. employees the opportunity
to retire early and receive an enhanced payout. The purpose of the enhanced
early retirement ("EER") program was to balance the work force based on HP's
long-term business strategy. Approximately 1,300 employees accepted the offer.
The cost of the enhanced payout of approximately $95 million, in addition to $5
million of expense related to the acceleration of stock options and other
benefits, was recorded upon employee
49

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 13: RETIREMENT AND POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED)
acceptance of the offer. These charges recorded in fiscal 2000 consisted of
approximately $37 million classified as cost of products sold and services, and
approximately $63 million classified as operating expenses ($16 million in
research and development expense and $47 million in selling, general and
administrative expenses). HP realized related net pension settlement and
curtailment gains of approximately $28 million in fiscal 2000 as the pension
obligations to employees were settled.
PENSION AND DEFERRED PROFIT-SHARING PLANS
Worldwide pension and deferred profit-sharing costs were $343 million in
2000, $301 million in 1999 and $226 million in 1998. U.S. employees who meet
certain minimum eligibility criteria are provided pension benefits under the
Hewlett-Packard Company pension plans. Defined benefits are based upon an
employee's highest average pay rate and length of service. For eligible service
through October 31, 1993, the benefit payable under the Retirement Plan is
reduced by any amounts due to the employee under HP's frozen defined
contribution Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan ("DPSP"), which has since been closed
to new participants.
The combined status of the pension plans and DPSP was as follows at
October 31:

</TABLE>
Employees outside the U.S. generally receive retirement benefits under
various defined benefit and defined contribution plans based upon factors such
as years of service and employee compensation levels. Eligibility is generally
determined in accordance with local statutory requirements.
POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
In addition to providing pension benefits, HP sponsors post-retirement
benefit plans providing medical and life insurance benefits to U.S. retired
employees. Substantially all of HP's current U.S. employees could become
eligible for these benefits, and the existing benefit obligation relates
primarily to those employees. Once participating in the medical plan, retirees
may choose from managed-care and indemnity options, with their contributions
dependent on options chosen and length of service.
401(k) PLAN
U.S. employees may participate in the Tax Saving Capital Accumulation Plan
("TAXCAP"), which was established as a supplemental retirement program.
Beginning February 1, 1998, enrollment in the TAXCAP is automatic for employees
who meet eligibility requirements unless they decline participation. Under the
TAXCAP program, HP matches contributions by employees up to a maximum of 4% of
an employee's annual compensation. A portion of this matching contribution may
be made in the form of HP common stock to the extent an employee elects HP stock
as an investment option under the plan. Through October 31, 2000, the maximum
combined contribution to the ESPP and TAXCAP was 25% of an employee's annual
eligible compensation subject to certain regulatory and plan limitations.
Beginning on November 1, 2000, the maximum contribution under the TAXCAP is 20%
of an employee's annual eligible compensation subject to certain IRS
limitations. HP's expense related to TAXCAP was $110 million in 2000,
$98 million in 1999 and $87 million in 1998.

ASSUMPTIONS
The assumptions used to measure the benefit obligations and to compute the
expected long-term return on assets for HP's defined benefit and post-retirement
benefit plans were as follows for the years ended October 31:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
2000 1999 1998

Expected long-term return on assets................. 6.1 to 8.5% 6.1 to 8.5% 6.5 to 8.5%
U.S. retiree medical plan:

Expected long-term return on assets................. 9.0% 9.0% 9.0%
Current medical cost trend rate..................... 7.8% 8.2% 8.7%
Ultimate medical cost trend rate.................... 5.5% 5.5% 5.5%
</TABLE>
The rate of increase in medical costs was assumed to decrease gradually
through 2007, and remain at that level thereafter. Assumed health care cost
trend rates could have a significant effect on the amounts reported for health
care plans. A 1.0 percentage point increase in the assumed health care cost
trend rates would have increased the total service and interest cost components
reported in 2000 by $10 million, and would have increased the post-retirement
benefit obligation reported in 2000 by $64 million. A 1.0 percentage point
decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rates would have decreased the
total service and interest cost components reported in 2000 by $7 million, and
would have decreased the post-retirement obligation reported in 2000 by
$49 million.
NOTE 14: COMMITMENTS
HP leases certain real and personal property under non-cancelable operating
leases. Future annual minimum lease payments at October 31, 2000
were $207 million for 2001, $169 million for 2002,
53
<PAGE>
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 14: COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED)
$135 million for 2003, $107 million for 2004, $94 million for 2005 and
$305 million thereafter. These payments will be partially offset by sublease
rental income commitments. Future minimum sublease rental commitments at
October 31, 2000 were $18 million for 2001, $18 million for 2002, $16 million
for 2003, $5 million for 2004, $5 million for 2005 and $1 million thereafter.
Certain leases require HP to pay property taxes, insurance and routine
maintenance, and include escalation clauses. Rent expense was $344 million in
2000, $352 million in 1999 and $354 million in 1998. Sublease rental income was
$19 million in 2000, $12 million in 1999 and $15 million in 1998.
NOTE 15: CONTINGENCIES AND FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
CONTINGENCIES
HP is involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings,
including patent, commercial and environmental matters, which arise in the
ordinary course of business. There are no such matters pending that HP expects
to be material in relation to its business, financial position or results of
operations.
FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
A substantial portion of HP's revenues each year is generated from the
development, manufacture and rapid release to market of high technology products
newly introduced during the year. In the extremely competitive industry in which
HP operates, product development, manufacturing and marketing are complex and
uncertain processes requiring HP to accurately predict emerging technological
trends and customers' changing needs. Additionally, HP's production strategy
relies on its suppliers' ability to deliver quality components and products in
time to meet critical manufacturing and distribution schedules, and its sales
strategy relies on the ability of third-party distributors to sell HP products
to accommodate changing customer preferences. In light of these dependencies,
failure to successfully manage a significant product introduction or the
transition from existing products to new products, failure of suppliers to
deliver as needed, or failure of resellers to remain customers and channel
partners could have a severe near-term impact on HP's revenue growth or results
of operations. HP sells a significant portion of its products through
third-party resellers and, as a result, maintains individually significant
receivable balances with major distributors. If the financial condition or
operations of these distributors deteriorate substantially, HP's operating
results could be adversely affected. Worsening economic conditions, particularly
in the U.S., could have an adverse impact on demand for our products and
services and also could contribute to the impairment of our investment and
financing portfolios. Future results could also be affected by problems
encountered with respect to intellectual property; international sales and
operations; acquisition, strategic alliance, joint venture and divestiture
activities; and earthquakes and power outages.
NOTE 16: SEGMENT INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION OF SEGMENTS
HP is a leading global provider of computing and imaging solutions and
services for business and home, and is focused on capitalizing on the
opportunities of the Internet and the emergence of next-generation appliances,
e-services and infrastructure.
As of October 31, 2000, HP organized its operations into three major
businesses: Imaging and Printing Systems, Computing Systems and IT Services. The
segments were determined primarily on how management views and evaluates HP's
businesses. The factors that management uses to identify HP's
54
<PAGE>
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 16: SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
separate businesses include customer base, homogeneity of products, technology
and delivery channels. A description of the types of products and services
provided by each reportable segment is as follows:
- IMAGING AND PRINTING SYSTEMS provides laser and inkjet printers (both
monochrome and color), mopiers, scanners, all-in-one devices, personal
color copiers and faxes, digital senders, wide- and large-format printers,
print servers, network-management software, networking solutions, digital
photography products, imaging and printing supplies, imaging and software
solutions, and related professional and consulting services.
- COMPUTING SYSTEMS provides a broad range of computing systems for the
enterprise, commercial and consumer markets. The products and solutions
range from mission-critical systems and software to personal computers for
business and home. Major product lines include UNIX-Registered Trademark-
and PC servers, desktop and mobile personal computers, workstations,
software solutions and storage solutions.
- IT SERVICES provides consulting, education, design and installation
services, ongoing support and maintenance, proactive services like
mission-critical support, outsourcing, and utility-computing capabilities.
Financing capabilities include leasing, automatic technology-refreshment
services, solution financing and venture financing.
HP's immaterial operating segments were aggregated to form an "All Other"
category. This category primarily includes its Embedded and Personal Systems
business which provides a range of handheld and entertainment information
appliances and embedded technologies for consumer and commercial markets. The
products include handheld computing appliances, CD-RW drives, calculators and
related accessories and services.
In the second and third quarters of fiscal 2000, HP made certain strategic
changes to its organizational structure. These changes included the movement of
its Embedded and Personal Systems business from the Computing Systems segment to
a separate operating segment, and the movement of the majority of its services
business related to imaging and printing from the Imaging and Printing Systems
segment to its IT Services segment. The Embedded and Personal Systems operating
segment is now included in "All Other" as it does not meet the materiality
threshold for a reportable segment. Segment financial data for the fiscal years
ended October 31, 1999 and 1998 has been restated to reflect these
organizational changes.
SEGMENT REVENUE AND PROFIT
The accounting policies used to derive reportable segment results are
generally the same as those described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. Intersegment net revenue and earnings from operations include
transactions between segments that are intended to reflect an arm's length
transfer at the best price available for comparable external customers.
A significant portion of the segments' expenses arise from shared services
and infrastructure that HP has historically provided to the segments in order to
realize economies of scale and to use resources efficiently. These expenses
include costs of centralized research and development, legal, accounting,
employee benefits, real estate, insurance services, information technology
services, treasury and other corporate and infrastructure costs. These
allocations have been determined on a basis that HP considers to be a reasonable
reflection of the utilization of services provided to or benefits received by
the segments. If costs were specifically identified to each segment, amounts
could vary from the allocated cost.

SEGMENT ASSETS AND OTHER ITEMS
The asset totals disclosed for each segment represent assets directly
managed by each segment and an allocation of certain assets held at the
corporate level. Assets directly managed by each segment primarily include
accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and certain other
assets. Assets directly managed by the IT Services segment also are composed of
short- and long-term financing receivables. Corporate-held assets allocated to
the segments include inventory, property, plant and equipment and certain other
assets. Corporate-held assets not allocated to the segments include cash and
cash equivalents, short-term investments, long-term investments in debt
securities, deferred tax assets and other current and long-term assets managed
at the corporate level.
Property, plant and equipment included in each segment's total assets
reflects allocations between segments and allocations of corporate-held assets;
however, the depreciation and amortization expense disclosed for each segment
does not reflect similar allocations. In addition, the capital expenditures
disclosed for each segment do not include allocations of corporate level capital
expenditures.
SEGMENT DATA
The results of the reportable segments are derived directly from HP's
management reporting system. As described above, these results are based on HP's
method of internal reporting and are not necessarily in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Management measures the
performance of each segment based on several metrics, including earnings from
operations. These results are used, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and
allocate resources to, each of the segments.

Financing interest income from the leasing of HP and complementary
third-party products is included in the IT Services segment's net revenue but is
reported in "Interest income and other, net" in the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Earnings. In addition, the financing business calculates its share
of corporate level debt and the related interest expense. This imputed interest
expense is included in the IT Services segment's cost of sales but is reported
in "Interest expense" in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
Corporate and unallocated costs relate primarily to corporate infrastructure
and employee related benefit program costs not allocated to the segments. The
benefit program costs are recorded by the segments at a pre-determined rate and
adjusted at the corporate level to reflect the actual costs. The corporate level
adjustment is not allocated to the segments.
Other corporate assets relate primarily to deferred tax assets, equity
investments and certain other current and long-term assets managed at the
corporate level.

No single customer represented 10% or more of HP's total net revenue in any

$2.0 billion in future repurchases under HP's stock repurchase programs,
resulting in remaining authorized repurchases totaling $2.9 billion.
In December 2000, the Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program for
HP's zero-coupon subordinated convertible notes. Under the repurchase program,
HP may repurchase the notes from time to time at varying prices. As of
January 19, 2001, HP had repurchased approximately $600 million in face value of
the notes, resulting in a gain on the early extinguishment of debt of
approximately $36 million before taxes.

Notes: HP's consolidated financial statements and notes for all periods present
Agilent Technologies' businesses as a discontinued operation through the
spin-off date of June 2, 2000. All per-share amounts reflect the
retroactive effects of all stock splits including the two-for-one stock
split in the form of a stock dividend effective October 27, 2000. See
further discussion in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
EPS for each quarter is computed using the weighted-average number of
shares outstanding during that quarter while EPS for the full year is
computed using weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the
year. Thus, the sum of the four quarters' EPS may not equal the
full-year EPS.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
On September 21, 2000, the Audit Committee of HP's Board of Directors
terminated PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as HP's independent public
accountants with respect to the audit of HP's consolidated financial statements
for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000 (the "2000 Audit"). The decision was
made because of concerns by both HP and PwC regarding the timing of the
completion of the 2000 Audit in light of the potential loss of PwC's
independence since HP was in discussion with PwC over a possible acquisition of
its global management and information consulting practice (the "Potential
Acquisition"). PwC had already ceased all audit work for HP on September 12,
2000. HP subsequently terminated discussions with PwC with respect to the
Potential Acquisition because HP and PwC could not reach a mutually acceptable
agreement.
On September 21, 2000, the Audit Committee also selected and appointed
Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") to serve as HP's independent public accountants with
respect to the 2000 Audit. At that time, HP committed to undertake a more formal
evaluation process in selecting independent public accountants with respect to
the audit of HP's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending
October 31, 2001 (the "2001 Audit"). HP has initiated but has not completed the
process of evaluating independent accountants with respect to the 2001 Audit and
therefore independent public accountants with respect to the 2001 Audit have not
been definitively selected at this time. However, on December 21, 2000, the
Audit Committee approved the extension of the appointment of E&Y on an interim
basis for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2001 with respect to the 2001
Audit until the evaluation process has been completed, which may or may not
result in a change to E&Y's existing appointment.
Neither the report of E&Y with respect to the 2000 Audit nor the reports of
PwC with respect to the audits of HP's consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal years ended October 31, 1999 or October 31, 1998 contained an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or were qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In addition, during HP's
fiscal years ended October 31, 1999 and October 31, 1998 and through
September 21, 2000 there were no disagreements with PwC on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure with respect to HP's consolidated financial statements, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused it
to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with
its reports.
Prior to retaining E&Y with respect to the 2000 Audit, HP consulted with E&Y
on various aspects of the Potential Acquisition, including tax and accounting
matters related to a variety of preliminary structures for the Potential
Acquisition. HP did not consult with PwC on such issues.

(b) Reports on Form 8-K
On August 18, 2000, HP filed a report on Form 8-K, which reported under
Item 5 that our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split, in the
form of a stock dividend, which would result in the issuance on October 27, 2000
of one additional share of HP common stock for every share of common stock
outstanding for stockholders of record as of the close of business on
September 27, 2000.
On September 12, 2000 HP filed a report on Form 8-K, which reported under
Item 5 that HP confirmed published reports that it was in discussions with
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") with respect to a possible acquisition by HP
of PwC's global management and information technology consulting practice (the
"MCS business"). The report provided further that terms of the transaction had
not been agreed upon, and significant issues remained to be resolved.
On September 18, 2000, HP filed a report on Form 8-K, which reported under
Item 5 that the President and Chief Executive Officer of HP, Carly Fiorina,
spoke at the SG Cowen Fall Investor Conference regarding HP's recent
initiatives. Portions of the speech concerned HP's proposed acquisition of PwC's
MCS business.
On September 22, 2000, HP filed a report on Form 8-K, which reported under
Item 4 that, as a result of concerns by both HP and PwC regarding the timing of
the completion of HP's audit for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2000 (the
"2000 Audit") in light of the potential loss of independence of PwC because of
the possible acquisition of PwC's global management and information technology
consulting practice (the "Potential Acquisition"), HP terminated PwC's
engagement as HP's independent public accountants with respect to the 2000
Audit. On September 21, 2000, HP retained Ernst & Young as its independent
public accountants with respect to the 2000 Audit.
On October 25, 2000, HP filed a report on Form 8-K, which reported under
Item 5 that on October 24, 2000, HP and Bluestone Software, Inc. ("Bluestone")
announced that the companies reached a definitive agreement under which HP would
acquire Bluestone in a stock-for-stock merger. Under the terms of the agreement,
Bluestone shareowners would receive 0.2433 pre-split shares of HP common stock.
The transaction was intended to be tax-free to Bluestone's shareowners and would
be accounted for as a purchase. The completion of the transaction would be
subject to closing conditions and the approval of Bluestone shareowners.
On November 13, 2000, HP filed a report on Form 8-K, which reported under
Item 5 that it had terminated discussions with PwC regarding the potential
acquisition of the MCS business, and also provided earnings information for the
fourth quarter and full fiscal year.
On December 6, 2000, HP filed a report on Form 8-K, which reported under
Item 9 that on December 6, 2000, HP held a simultaneous analyst presentation and
audio webcast to discuss fiscal year 2000 results and fiscal year 2001 outlook
and other business information.
On January 11, 2001, HP filed a report on Form 8-K, which reported under
Item 5 the issuance of a press release relating to HP's fiscal year 2001 first
quarter and full year guidance.

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY
EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
(AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 1, 2000)
SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE OF PLAN.
The Hewlett-Packard Company Executive Deferred Compensation Plan was adopted
and established effective January 1, 1994, and has been amended from time to
time. The Plan provides deferred compensation for a select group of management
or highly compensated employees as established in Title I of ERISA. Effective
November 1, 2000, the Plan is hereby amended and restated.
The Plan is intended to be an unfunded and unsecured deferred compensation
arrangement between the Participant and the Company, in which the Participant
agrees to give up a portion of the Participant's current compensation in
exchange for the Company's unfunded and unsecured promise to make a deferred
payment at a future date, as specified in Section 6. The Company retains the
right, as provided in Section 14, to amend or terminate the Plan at any time.
Certain capitalized words used in the text of the Plan are defined in
Section 21 in alphabetical order.
SECTION 2. PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN.
All Eligible Employees are eligible to defer Base Pay or Bonuses under the
Plan
SECTION 3. TIMING AND AMOUNTS OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION.
Eligible Employees shall make elections to participate in the Plan, as
follows:
3.1 BASE PAY DEFERRALS.
3.1.1 TIMING OF BASE PAY DEFERRAL. With respect to a deferral of
Base Pay, an election to participate must be made prior to December 16 of
the calendar year preceding the calendar year with respect to which an
election to defer Base Pay is made, in accordance with any procedures
established by the Committee.
3.1.2 AMOUNT OF BASE PAY DEFERRAL. Once an election is made by an
Eligible Employee, an annual whole dollar amount will be deferred from
Base Pay, taken equally over the twenty-four (24) pay periods falling
within the calendar year to which the election pertains. The minimum
amount of Base Pay which may be deferred is $6,000 per calendar year. The
maximum amount of Base Pay which may be deferred each calendar year is
equal to the amount of Base Pay exceeding the amount defined in Code
section 401(a)(17), as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury under
Code section 415(d), in effect on January 1 of the calendar year to which
the deferral election pertains.
3.2 BONUS DEFERRALS.
3.2.1 TIMING OF BONUS DEFERRAL. Participants must make an election
to defer an H1 Bonus and/or H2 Bonus before December 16 of the calendar
year ending within the fiscal year to which the H1 and H2 Bonuses
pertain, in accordance with any procedures established by the Committee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an election to defer an H2 Bonus may be
amended or revoked at any time prior to the commencement of the
Performance Period to which the H2 Bonus relates, in accordance with any
procedures established by the Committee.
3.2.2 AMOUNT OF BONUS DEFERRAL. An Eligible Employee may defer any
portion, up to 95%, of any H1 or H2 Bonus to which he or she may become
entitled, so long as the deferral
1
<PAGE>
amount is expressed in terms of a whole percentage point. Once an
election is made by an Eligible Employee to defer a portion of a Bonus,
the appropriate amount will be withheld from the Bonus when the amount of
the Bonus has been certified by the Committee (with respect to a Bonus
under the PFR Plans), but not before the Bonus would otherwise have been
paid to the Participant in cash under the plan from which the Bonus is
payable.
3.3 EFFECT OF TAXES ON MAXIMUM DEFERRALS. Notwithstanding any
provision herein to the contrary, and to the extent consistent with the
terms of the PFR Plans, the Company may withhold Taxes from any cash payment
made under such plans, owing as a result of any deferral or payment
hereunder, as the Company deems appropriate in its sole discretion. If, with
respect to the pay period within which a deferral, payment or Bonus is made
under this Plan or other plans from which a Bonus is payable, the
Participant receives insufficient actual cash compensation to cover such
Taxes, then the Company may withhold any remaining Taxes owing from the
Participant's subsequent cash compensation received, until such Tax
obligation is satisfied, or otherwise make appropriate arrangements with the
Participant for satisfaction of such obligation.
3.4 COMMITTEE DISCRETION. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3
to the contrary, the Committee shall have the discretion to modify the
availability and timing of a valid deferral election under this Section 3,
in any manner it deems appropriate; provided, however, that any alteration
with respect to a Covered Officer must be consistent with the requirements
for deductibility of compensation under section 162(m) of the Code.
SECTION 4. DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS.
4.1 IN GENERAL. Amounts deferred pursuant to Section 3 shall be
credited to a Deferral Account in the name of the Participant. Deferred
Amounts arising from deferrals of Base Pay shall be credited to a Deferral
Account at least quarterly. Deferrals resulting from amounts credited to a
Participant's Deferral Account from the deferral of Bonuses shall be
credited to a Deferral Account as soon as practicable after the Committee or
its delegate--as appropriate under, and in accordance with, the terms of the
plan from which the Bonus is payable--has certified the amount of a Bonus,
but not before the Bonus would otherwise have been paid to the Participant
in cash. The Participant's rights in the Deferral Account shall be no
greater than the rights of any other unsecured general creditor of the
Company. Deferred Amounts and Earnings thereon invested hereunder shall for
all purposes be part of the general funds of the Company. Any payout to a
Participant of amounts credited to a Participant's Deferral Account are not
due, nor are such amounts ascertainable, until the Payout Commencement Date.
4.2 HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY OFFICERS EARLY RETIREMENT PLAN
DEFERRALS. A Deferral Account may be created or credited pursuant to the
termination of the Hewlett-Packard Company Officers Early Retirement (OER)
Plan, as restated effective October 31, 1999. Except as otherwise provided
in this Section 4.2, an OER Deferral shall be forfeited in full, if the
Termination Date of a Rollover Participant for whom the OER Deferral was
created or credited, occurs prior to April 1, 2001. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the OER Deferral of a Rollover Participant shall not be forfeited
due to his or her Termination Date occurring prior to April 1, 2001, if the
Rollover Participant has attained the age of 58 on or before March 31, 1999.
SECTION 5. EARNINGS ON THE DEFERRAL ACCOUNT.
5.1 CREDITING IN GENERAL. Amounts in a Participant's Deferral Account
will be credited at least quarterly with Earnings until such amounts are
paid out to the Participant under this Plan as set forth in Section 6. All
Earnings attributable to the Deferral Account shall be added to the
liability of and retained therein by the Company. Any such addition to the
liability shall be
2
<PAGE>
appropriately reflected on the books and records of the Company and
identified as an addition to the total sum owing the Participant. The
Deferral Account of a Rollover Participant shall be credited with Earnings
at the same time and accounted for in the same manner as the Deferral
Account of a Participant (regardless of the Rollover Participant's
eligibility to participate in the Plan), pro-rated to reflect the date on
which the deferral account from a Rollover Plan is transferred into the
Plan.
5.2 HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT CHOICE. Except as otherwise provided in
this Section 5.2, and subject to provisions of Section 4.1, the Committee
may, in its discretion, offer Participants a choice among various
hypothetical investments on which their Deferral Accounts may be credited.
Such a choice is nominal in nature, and grants Participants no real or
beneficial interest in any specific fund or property. Provision of a choice
among hypothetical investment options grants the Participant no ability to
affect the actual aggregate investments the Company may or may not make to
cover its obligations under the Plan. Any adjustments the Company may make
in its actual investments for the Plan may only be instigated by the
Company, and may or may not bear a resemblance to the Participants'
hypothetical investment choices on an account-by-account basis. The timing,
allowance and frequency of hypothetical investment choices, and a
Participant's ability to change how his or her Deferral Account is credited,
is within the sole discretion of the Committee.
5.3 OER DEFERRAL FUND. The balanced Fund, referenced in
Section 21.13.3, with respect to which OER Deferrals are credited, is a
frozen fund. Participants will not have, among the hypothetical investment
choices, the right to request that additional Deferral Account balances be
credited in accordance with the deemed return on investment of this Fund.
However, Participants may choose to have any or all of the balance of a
Deferral Account being credited in accordance with the deemed return on
investment of this Fund, credited instead using any of the hypothetical
investment choices referenced in Section 5.2.
SECTION 6. PAYOUT TO THE PARTICIPANTS.
6.1 TERMINATION AFTER RETIREMENT DATE. If a Participant's Termination
Date is on or after his or her Retirement Date and the Participant's
Deferral Account balance is no less than $15,000 on the Retirement Date, an
election as to the form and commencement of benefit may be made in
accordance with this Section 6.1. An election under this section is only
valid if made before the date which is at least twelve (12) months prior to
the Participant's Termination Date, and on or before the last day of the
calendar year preceding the Termination Year.

under this Section 6.1 may elect to receive either (a) a single lump

timing, form and amount (e.g., payouts affected by a forfeiture under
Section 4.2) of any payout, in any manner it deems appropriate; provided,
however, that any alteration with respect to a Covered Officer must be

7.1 UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCIES. Neither the Participant nor his or her
Beneficiary is eligible to withdraw amounts credited to a Deferral Account
prior to the time specified in Section 6. However, such credited amounts
may be subject to early withdrawal if an unforeseeable emergency occurs that
is caused by an event beyond the Participant's or Beneficiary's control and
would result in severe financial hardship to the individual if early
withdrawal is not permitted. A severe financial hardship exists only when
all other reasonably available financial resources have been exhausted. The
Committee shall have sole discretion to determine whether to approve any
hardship withdrawal, which amount will be limited to the amount necessary to
meet the emergency. The Committee's decision will be final and binding on
all interested parties.
7.2 WAITING PERIOD. If the Committee approves a hardship withdrawal,
the Participant (1) may not defer Base Pay, as specified in Section 3, for
the remainder of the calendar year within which the withdrawal is received,

specified in Section 3, for the remainder of the fiscal year in which the
hardship withdrawal is received, or for the next succeeding fiscal year.
SECTION 8. OTHER ACCESS TO DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS.
8.1 UNANTICIPATED NEEDS. Neither the Participant nor his or her
Beneficiary is eligible to withdraw amounts credited to a Deferral Account
prior to the time specified in Section 6. However, such credited amounts may
be subject to early withdrawal if an unanticipated need for funds occurs,
other than a need specified in Section 7; provided that the Participant
permanently
4
<PAGE>
forfeits ten (10) percent of the amount to be withdrawn. Additionally,
withdrawals based on an unanticipated need for funds may be made no more
than once each calendar year and the amount to be withdrawn must be at least
$12,000.
8.2 WAITING PERIOD. If the Participant withdraws amounts credited to a
Deferral Account under this section, he or she (1) may not defer Base Pay,
as specified in Section 3, for the remainder of the calendar year within
which the withdrawal is received, or for the next succeeding calendar year,
and (2) may not defer Bonuses, as specified in Section 3, for the remainder
of the fiscal year in which the hardship withdrawal is received, or for the
next succeeding fiscal year.
SECTION 9. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY
The Participant shall, by written notice to the Company, (1) at the time of
the first election designate a Beneficiary hereunder, and (2) shall have the
right thereafter to change any Beneficiary previously designated by the

shall be made to the designated Beneficiary or, in the absence of such
designation, by will or the laws of descent and distribution in the state of
residence of the Participant.
SECTION 10. CHANGE IN CONTROL

terminated and active Participants.
10.2 PROPOSED CHANGE IN CONTROL. A "proposed change in control" shall
mean (1) a tender offer by any person or entity, other than the Company or a
Company subsidiary, to acquire securities representing 40 percent or more of
the voting power of the Company or (2) the submission to the Company's

Directors to negotiate, as part of any agreement involving the sale or
merger of the Company, or a sale of substantially all of the Company's
assets or a similar transaction, terms providing for protection of
Participants and their interests in the Plan.
SECTION 11. LIMITATION ON ASSIGNMENTS
Benefits under this Plan are not subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or
garnishments by creditors of the Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary
and any attempt to do so shall be void.
SECTION 12. ADMINISTRATION
12.1 ADMINISTRATION BY COMMITTEE. The Plan shall be administered by
the Committee. No member of the Committee shall become a Participant of the

at its expense and subject to supervision and control of the Committee.
SECTION 13. NO FUNDING OBLIGATION
The Company is under no obligation to transfer amounts credited to the
Participant's Deferral Account to any trust or escrow account, and the Company
is under no obligation to secure any amount credited to a Participant's Deferral
Account by any specific assets of the Company or any other asset in which the
Company has an interest. This Plan shall not be construed to require the Company
to fund any of the benefits provided hereunder nor to establish a trust for such
purpose. The Company may make such arrangements as it desires to provide for the
payment of benefits, including, but not limited to, the establishment of a rabbi
trust or such other equivalent arrangements as the Company may decide. No such
arrangement shall cause the Plan to be a funded plan within the meaning of Title
I of ERISA, nor shall any such arrangement change the nature of the obligation
of the Company nor the rights of the Participants under the Plan as provided in
this document. Neither the Participant nor his or her estate shall have any
rights against the Company with respect to any portion of the Deferral Account
except as a general unsecured creditor. No Participant has an interest in his or
her Deferral Account until the Participant actually receives the deferred
payment.
SECTION 14. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.
The Company, by action of the Committee, in its sole discretion may suspend
or terminate the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever; provided,
however, that amounts already allocated to the Deferral Accounts will continue
to be owed to the Participants or Beneficiaries and will continue to accrue
Earnings and continue to be a liability of the Company. Any amendment or
termination of the Plan will not affect the entitlement of any Participant or
the Beneficiary of a Participant who terminates employment before the amendment
or termination. All benefits to which any Participant or Beneficiary may be
entitled shall be determined under the Plan as in effect at the time the
Participant terminates employment and shall not be affected by any subsequent
change in the provisions of the Plan; provided, that the Company reserves the
right to change the basis of return on investment of the Deferral Account with
respect to any Participant or Beneficiary. Participants or Beneficiaries will be
given notice prior to the discontinuance of the Plan or reduction of any
benefits provided by the Plan.
SECTION 15. TAX WITHHOLDING.
If the Company concludes that Tax is owing with respect to any deferral of
income or payment hereunder, the Company shall withhold such amounts from any
payments due the Participant, or otherwise make appropriate arrangements with
the Participant or his or her Beneficiary for satisfaction of such obligation.
SECTION 16. CHOICE OF LAW.
This Plan, and all rights under this Plan, shall be interpreted and
construed in accordance with ERISA and, to the extent not preempted, the law of
the State of Delaware, unless otherwise stated in the Plan.
SECTION 17. NOTICE.
Any written notice to the Company required by any of the provisions of this
Plan shall be addressed to the chief personnel officer of the Company or his or
her delegate and shall become effective when it is received.

<PAGE>
SECTION 18. NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.
Nothing in the Plan, nor any action of the Company pursuant to the Plan,
shall be deemed to give any person any right to remain in the employ of the
Company or affect the right of the Company to terminate a person's employment at
any time, with or without cause.
SECTION 19. ROLLOVERS FROM OTHER PLANS.
19.1 DISCRETION TO ACCEPT. The Committee shall have complete authority
and discretion, but no obligation, to allow the Plan to create Deferral
Accounts for Rollover Participants and credit such accounts with amounts to
reflect the Rollover Participant's deferral account in a Rollover Plan. The
amounts credited to such Deferral Accounts are fully subject to the
provisions of this Plan. Reference in the Plan to such a crediting as a
"rollover" or "transfer" of assets from a Rollover Plan is nominal in
nature, and confers no additional rights upon a Rollover Participant other
than those specifically set forth in the Plan.
19.2 STATUS OF ROLLOVER PARTICIPANTS. A Rollover Participant and his
or her Beneficiary are fully subject to the provisions of this Plan, except
as otherwise expressly set forth herein. A Rollover Participant who is not
already a Participant in the Plan and is not otherwise eligible to
participate in the Plan at the time of rollover, shall not be entitled to
make any additional deferrals under the Plan unless and until he or she has
becomes an Eligible Employee under the terms of the Plan.
19.3 PAYMENT TO ROLLOVER PARTICIPANTS. If at the time of rollover or
transfer, payments from a Rollover Participant's account in a Rollover Plan
have already commenced from a Rollover Plan, he or she shall continue to
receive such payments in accordance with the form and timing of payment
provisions of such plan. If a Rollover Participant is not yet eligible to
receive payments from the Rollover Plan at the time of the rollover or
transfer, he or she is bound by the payout provisions of this Plan.
SECTION 20. CODE SECTION 162(m).
With respect to Covered Employees, this Plan is designed to satisfy the
special requirements for performance-based compensation set forth in
Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and the Plan shall be so construed.
Furthermore, if a provision of the Plan as it relates to a Covered Officer
causes a deferral or payment to fail to satisfy these special requirements, the
Plan shall be deemed amended to satisfy the requirements to the extent permitted
by law and subject to Committee approval.

sole discretion, and without delegation, the Committee alone may approve
any other adjustments to a Participant's Bonus during a Performance
Period.
(ii) REDUCTIONS. In addition to a general Bonus adjustment addressed
in Section 7(b)(i), the Committee may, in the exercise of its sole
discretion and based on any factors the Committee deems appropriate,
reduce or eliminate to zero the amount of a Bonus to a Participant
otherwise calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(a)
prior to payment thereof. The Committee shall make a determination of
whether and to what extent to reduce Bonuses under the Plan for each
Performance Period at such time or times
3
<PAGE>
following the close of the Performance Period as the Committee shall deem
appropriate. The reduction in the amount of a Bonus to a Participant for
a Performance Period shall have no effect on the amount of the Bonus to
any other Participant for such period.
(c) NO ADJUSTMENTS FOR COVERED OFFICERS. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 7(b) above, any adjustments made in accordance with or
for the purposes of Section 7(b) shall be disregarded for purposes of
calculating the Bonus to any Covered Officer to the extent that such
adjustments would have the effect of increasing such Bonus.
(d) MAXIMUM. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the
maximum Bonus that may be paid to a Covered Officer under the Plan with
respect to a particular Performance Period is $4 million. To the extent the
period of time defining a Performance Period is changed by the Committee,
then the maximum Bonus that may be paid to a Covered Officer under the Plan
is an amount that bears the same pro rata relationship to the new period of
time as the above amount does to the current six-month Performance Period as
set by the Committee.
8. PAYMENT OF BONUSES.
(a) Payment of a Bonus to a Participant shall be made as soon as
practicable after determination of the amount of the Bonus under Section 7
above, and after the Committee has certified in writing the amount to be
paid, except to the extent a Participant has made a timely election to defer
the payment of all or any portion of such Bonus under the Hewlett-Packard
Company Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.
(b) A participant will forfeit any Bonus for a Performance Period during
which he or she is involuntarily terminated for cause or voluntarily
terminates his or her employment with the Company for any reason except as
otherwise provided in Section 8(c), below.
(c) The payment of a Bonus with respect to a specific Performance Period
requires that the employee be on the Company's payroll as of the end of such
Performance Period, subject to the following:
(i) NON-PAY STATUS. A Participant who continues to be on approved
non-pay status through the end of the Performance Period will receive a
bonus payment if return to work is within the maximum period approved by
the Company for the non-pay status. If the non-pay status results in a
leave of absence or termination, guidelines governing those situations
will apply.
(ii) LEAVE OF ABSENCE. A Participant will receive a bonus payment
while on an approved leave of absence even if the leave began prior to
the end of the Performance Period. The Bonus will be based on the
Participant's actual Base Pay for the Performance Period. While on an
approved medical leave of absence, accrual of Base Pay will continue for
as long as the employee is integrating disability benefits with flexible
time off (FTO) hours, or sick or vacation hours. Only the FTO or sick or
vacation hours will be included in Base Pay.
(iii) WORK-RELATED ILLNESS/INJURY. A Participant who cannot work due
to a work-related injury/illness and who may be drawing Workers'
Compensation benefits will be placed on medical leave from the last day
worked. While on leave, a Participant will receive a bonus payment even
if the leave began prior to the end of the Performance Period.
(iv) RETIREMENT. If the reason for a Participant's termination of
employment prior to the end of a Performance Period is his or her
retirement at the age and service-year level set by the Company or the
local law requirements where the Participant is employed, any Bonus will
be pro-rated based upon the employee's time spent actively at work prior
to his or her retirement date.
4
<PAGE>
(v) DEATH. If a Participant dies prior to the end of a Performance
Period or after the end of a Performance Period but prior to payment, any
Bonus will be paid to the Participant's estate and will be based on the
Participant's actual Base Pay for the Performance Period.
(d) Payments of Bonuses to Participants who are on the payroll of
Affiliates of the Company shall be paid directly by such entities.
9. CHANGES IN STATUS.
(a) If prior to the end of a Performance Period a person is hired for a
position previously designated by the Committee for participation under the
Plan, that person will commence participation in the Plan on a pro-rated
basis from the date of hire. If an employee is promoted into such a position
from a position that was eligible for participation in the Company
Performance Bonus Plan, the ESS Bonus Plan, or the Pay-for-Results
Short-Term Bonus Plan, he or she will be considered to have been a
Participant in this Plan from the beginning of the Performance Period or, if
later, from the date of hire. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Section 9(a) shall not apply to a Covered Officer.
(b) If a Participant transfers from one eligible position to another
prior to the end of a Performance Period, any Bonus will be based on
performance as it relates to the latest position.
(c) If prior to the end of a Performance Period, a Participant transfers
into a position that is not eligible for participation under the Plan, the
employee will not receive a Bonus under the Plan.
10. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) NO ASSIGNMENT. No portion of any Bonus under the Plan may be
assigned or transferred otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution prior to the payment thereof.
(b) TAX REQUIREMENTS. All payments made pursuant to the Plan or
deferred pursuant to Section 8(a) shall be subject to all applicable taxes
or contributions required by federal, state or local law to be withheld, in
accordance with the procedures to be established by the Committee.
(c) NO ADDITIONAL PARTICIPANT RIGHTS. The selection of an individual
for participation in the Plan shall not give such Participant any right to
be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and the
right of the Company and any such Affiliate to dismiss such Participant or
to terminate any arrangement pursuant to which any such Participant provides
services to the Company, with or without cause, is specifically reserved. No
person shall have claim to a Bonus under the Plan, except as otherwise
provided for herein, or to continued participation under the Plan. There is
no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants under the Plan.
The benefits provided for Participants under the Plan shall be in addition
to and shall in no way preclude other forms of compensation to or in respect
of such Participants. It is expressly agreed and understood that the
employment is terminable at the will of either party and, if such
Participant is a party to an employment contract with the Company or one of
its Affiliates, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Participant's employment contract.
(d) LIABILITY. The Board and the Committee shall be entitled to rely
on the advice of counsel and other experts, including the independent
auditors for the Company. No member of the Board or of the Committee, any
officers of the Company or its Affiliates or any of their designees shall be
liable for any act or failure to act under the Plan, except in circumstances
involving bad faith on the part of such member, officer or designee.
(e) AMENDMENT; SUSPENSION; TERMINATION. The Board or Committee may, at
any time and from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any
part of the Plan as it may deem proper and in the best interests of the
Company. In the case of Participants employed outside the United States, the
Board, the Committee or their designees may vary the provisions of the Plan
as
5
<PAGE>
deemed appropriate to conform with local laws, practices and procedures. In
addition, the Executive Committee of the Board or any of the General
Counsel, Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company is authorized to
make certain minor or administrative changes required by or made desirable
by government regulation. Any modification of the Plan may affect present
and future Participants and the amount of any Bonus hereunder.
(f) OTHER COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS. Nothing contained in the Plan
shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate of the Company from adopting or
continuing in effect other compensation arrangements, which arrangements may
be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
(g) GOVERNING LAW. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan
and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable federal
law.
(h) NO TRUST. Neither the Plan nor any Bonus shall create or be
construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary
relationship between the Company or any Participant. To the extent that the
Participant acquires a right to receive payments from the Company in respect
of any Bonus, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured
general creditor of the Company.
(i) SECTION 162(m). All payments under this Plan are designed to
satisfy the special requirements for performance-based compensation set
forth in Code section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and the Plan shall be so
construed. Furthermore, if a provision of the Plan causes a payment to fail
to satisfy these special requirements, it shall be deemed amended to satisfy
the requirements to the extent permitted by law and subject to Committee
approval.
(j) DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARIES. A Participant may, if the Committee
permits, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive all or part of
the Bonuses which may be paid to the Participant, or may be payable, after
such Participant's death. A designation of beneficiary shall be made in
accordance with procedures specified by the Company and may be replaced by a
new designation or may be revoked by the Participant at any time. In case of
the Participant's death, a Bonus with respect to which a designation of
beneficiary has been made (to the extent it is valid and enforceable under
applicable law) shall be paid to the designated beneficiary or
beneficiaries. Any Bonus granted or payable to a Participant who is deceased
and not subject to such a designation shall be distributed to the
Participant's estate. If there shall be any question as to the legal right
of any beneficiary to receive a Bonus under the Plan, the amount in question
may be paid to the estate of the Participant, in which event the Company or
its Affiliates shall have no further liability to anyone with respect to
such amount.
(k) EFFECT ON FY99 PLAN AND STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. This Amended and
Restated Plan amends and supersedes the Hewlett-Packard Company Variable Pay
Plan effective November 1, 1998, as amended and restated effective
November 1, 1999, and as approved of by shareholders of the Company at the
Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders in February 2000. This and future
Plan amendments shall require stockholder approval only if and to the extent
required by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange.
(l) SEVERABILITY. If any portion of this Plan is deemed to be in
conflict with local law, that portion of the Plan, and that portion only,
will be deemed void under local law. All other provisions of the Plan will
remain in effect.
(m) SAVINGS CLAUSE. If any portion of this Plan as it relates to a
Covered Officer is construed as failing to satisfy the provisions of Code
section 162(m), then the Plan will be deemed amended to satisfy the
requirements to the extent permitted by law and subject to Committee
approval.

Participants under the Plan for such Performance Period (whether or not so
employed or living at the date a Bonus payment is made) and may be considered

Performance Period, (b) the minimum and maximum Bonuses and the Target Bonuses
for specific jobs, job families, or job levels, (c) the applicable Performance
Measures and combination of Performance Measures and percentages allocated to
the applicable Performance Measures at different organization levels; and
(d) the Performance Period. Performance measures in addition to those designated
or approved prior to the beginning of a period may only be used if approved by

7. DETERMINATION OF AMOUNT OF BONUS.
(a) CALCULATION. As soon as administratively practicable after the end of
the relevant Performance Period, the Committee, or, if applicable,
the Committee's delegate, shall determine the amount of the Bonus for
each Participant by:
(i) Determining the actual performance results for each
Performance Measure;
(ii) Determining the amount to which each Participant is entitled
based on the percentage allocated by the Committee to each
Performance Measure against the Target Bonus for each
Participant; and
(iii) Certifying by resolution duly adopted by the Committee (or
equivalent action by the Committee's delegate) the value of
the Bonus for each Participant so determined.
(b) ADJUSTMENTS TO BONUSES. In its sole discretion, the Committee or, if
applicable, the Committee's delegate, may, but is not required to,
make an adjustment to a Participant's Bonus to take into account:
(i) acquisitions and investments; (ii) divestitures; (iii) major
change(s) in U.S. accounting principles and/or (iv) major
reorganization(s) within the Company if such situation(s) or
event(s): (A) impacted the applicable Performance Period; (B) was not
already taken into account in the Participant's Performance Measures
for such period; and (C) exceeded U.S. $50 million: Only the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may approve any other adjustments
to a Participant's Bonus during a Performance Period.
8. PAYMENT OF BONUSES.
(a) Payment of a Bonus to a Participant shall be made as soon as
practicable after determination of the amount of the Bonus under
Section 7 above, and after the Committee has approved the
aggregate bonus payout amount for the Performance Period, except
to the extent a Participant who is eligible to participate in the
Hewlett-Packard Company Executive Deferred Compensation Plan has
made a timely election to defer the payment of all or any part of
the portion of such Bonus under such plan.
(b) A Participant will forfeit any Bonus for a Performance Period
during which he or she is involuntarily terminated for cause or
voluntarily terminates his or her employment with the Company for
any reason, except as otherwise provided in Section 8(c) below.
(c) The payment of a Bonus with respect to a specific Performance
Period requires that the Participant be on the Company's payroll
as of the end of such Performance Period; subject to the
following:
(i) NON-PAY STATUS. A Participant who continues to be on
approved non-pay status through the end of the Performance
Period will receive a bonus payment if return to work is
within the maximum period approved by the Company for the
non-pay status. If the non-pay status results in a leave of
absence or termination, guidelines governing those
situations will apply.
3
<PAGE>
(ii) LEAVE OF ABSENCE. A Participant will receive a bonus payment
while on an approved leave of absence even if the leave
began prior to the end of the Performance Period. The Bonus
will be based on the Participant's Eligible Earnings for the
Performance Period. While on an approved medical leave of
absence, accrual of Eligible Earnings will continue for as
long as the employee is integrating disability benefits with
flexible time off (FTO) hours, or sick or vacation hours.
Only the FTO or sick or vacation hours will be included in
Eligible Earnings.
(iii) WORK-RELATED ILLNESS/INJURY. A Participant who cannot work
due to a work-related injury/illness and who may be drawing
Workers' Compensation benefits will be placed on medical
leave from the last day worked. While on leave, a
Participant will receive a bonus payment even if the leave
began prior to the end of the Performance Period.
(iv) RETIREMENT. If the reason for a Participant's termination of
employment prior to the end of a Performance Period is his
or her retirement at the age and service-year level set by
the Company or the local law requirements where the
Participant is employed, any Bonus will be prorated based
upon the employee's time spent actively at work prior to his
or her retirement date.
(v) DEATH. If a Participant dies prior to the end of a
Performance Period or after the end of a Performance Period
but prior to payment, any Bonus will be paid to the
Participant's estate and will be based on the Participant's
Eligible Earnings for the Performance Period.
(d) Payments of Bonuses to Participants who are on the payroll of
Affiliates of the Company shall be paid directly by such entities.
9. CHANGES IN STATUS
(a) If prior to the end of a Performance Period, a person is hired
into a position previously designated by the Committee for
participation under the Plan, that person will commence
participation in the Plan on a prorated basis from the date of
hire. If an employee is promoted into such a position from a
position that was eligible for participation in the Company
Performance Bonus Plan or the ESS Invent Your Future Program, he
or she will be considered to have been a Participant in this Plan
from the beginning of the Performance Period or, if later, from
the date of hire.
(b) If a Participant transfers from one eligible position to another
prior to the end of a Performance Period, any Bonus will be based
on performance as it relates to the latest position occupied.
(c) If prior to the end of a Performance Period, a Participant
transfers into a position that is not eligible for participation
under the Plan, the employee will not receive a Bonus under the
Plan.
10. COMMITTEE DISCRETION. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Plan, the Committee may, in the exercise of its sole discretion and based on any
factors the Committee deems appropriate, reduce or eliminate to zero the amount
of a Bonus to a Participant otherwise calculated in accordance with the
provisions of Section 7(a) prior to payment thereof. The Committee shall make a
determination of whether and to what extent to reduce Bonuses under the Plan for
each Performance Period at such time or times following the close of the
Performance Period as the Committee shall deem appropriate. The reduction in the
amount of a Bonus to a Participant for a Performance Period shall have no effect
on the amount of the Bonus to any other Participant for such period.
4
<PAGE>
11. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) NO ASSIGNMENT. No portion of any Bonus under the Plan may be assigned
or transferred otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution prior to the payment thereof.
(b) TAX REQUIREMENTS. All payments made pursuant to the Plan or deferred
pursuant to Section 8(a) shall be subject to all applicable taxes or
contributions required by federal, state or local law to be withheld,
in accordance with the procedures to be established by the Committee.
(c) NO ADDITIONAL PARTICIPANT RIGHTS. The selection of an individual for
participation in the Plan shall not give such Participant any right
to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates,
and the right of the Company and any such Affiliate to dismiss such
Participant or to terminate any arrangement pursuant to which any
such Participant provides services to the Company, with or without
cause, is specifically reserved. No person shall have claim to a
Bonus under the Plan, except as otherwise provided for herein, or to
continued participation under the Plan. There is no obligation for
uniformity of treatment of Participants under the Plan. The benefits
provided for Participants under the Plan shall be in addition to and
shall in no way preclude other forms of compensation to or in respect
of such Participants. It is expressly agreed and understood that the
employment is terminable at the will of either party and, if such
Participant is a party to an employment contract with the Company or
one of its Affiliates, in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Participant's employment contract.
(d) LIABILITY. The Board and the Committee shall be entitled to rely on
the advice of counsel and other experts, including the independent
auditors for the Company. No member of the Board or of the Committee,
any officers of the Company or its Affiliates or any of their
designees shall be liable for any act or failure to act under the
Plan, except in circumstances involving bad faith on the part of such
member, officer or designee.
(e) AMENDMENT; SUSPENSION; TERMINATION. The Board or Committee may, at
any time and from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan
or any part of the Plan as it may deem proper and in the best
interests of the Company. In the case of Participants employed
outside the United States, the Board, the Committee or their
designees may vary the provisions of the Plan as deemed appropriate
to conform with local laws, practices and procedures. In addition,
the Executive Committee of the Board or any of the General Counsel,
Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company is authorized to make
certain minor or administrative changes required by or made desirable
by government regulation. Any modification of the Plan may affect
present and future Participants and the amount of any Bonus
hereunder.
(f) OTHER COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS. Nothing contained in the Plan shall
prevent the Company or any Affiliate of the Company from adopting or
continuing in effect other compensation arrangements, which
arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in
specific cases.
(g) GOVERNING LAW. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and
any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable
federal law.
(h) SEVERABILITY. If any portion of this Plan is deemed to be in conflict
with local law, that portion of the Plan, and that portion only, will
be deemed null and void under that local law. All other provisions of
the Plan will remain in full effect.
5
<PAGE>
(i) NO TRUST. Neither the Plan nor any Bonus shall create or be construed
to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary
relationship between the Company or any Participant. To the extent
that the Participant acquires a right to receive payments from the
Company in respect of any Bonus, such right shall be no greater than
the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
(j) DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARIES. A Participant may, if the Committee
permits, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive all or
part of the Bonuses which may be paid to the Participant, or may be
payable, after such Participant's death. A designation of beneficiary
shall be made in accordance with procedures specified by the Company
and may be replaced by a new designation or may be revoked by the
Participant at any time. In case of the Participant's death, a Bonus
with respect to which a designation of beneficiary has been made (to
the extent it is valid and enforceable under applicable law) shall be
paid to the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries. Any Bonus
granted or payable to a Participant who is deceased and not subject
to such a designation shall be distributed to the Participant's
estate. If there shall be any question as to the legal right of any
beneficiary to receive a Bonus under the Plan, the amount in question
may be paid to the estate of the Participant, in which event the
Company or its Affiliates shall have no further liability to anyone
with respect to such amount.
12. EXECUTION
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan to be adopted this 16th
