HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

        In the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of Hewlett-Packard Company and its consolidated subsidiaries ("HP") contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly HP's financial position as of July 31, 2011, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010 and its cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010. The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of October 31, 2010 is derived from the October 31, 2010 audited consolidated financial statements.

        The results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with "Risk Factors," "Legal Proceedings," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" and the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Items 1A, 3, 7, 7A and 8, respectively, of the Hewlett-Packard Company Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010.

        The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in HP's Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

        In connection with organizational realignments implemented in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, certain costs previously reported as Cost of services have been reclassified as Selling, general and administrative expenses to better align those costs with the functional areas that benefit from those expenditures. HP has made certain segment and business unit realignments in order to optimize its operating structure. Reclassifications of prior year financial information have been made to conform to the current year presentation. None of the changes impacts HP's previously reported consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per share. See Note 16 for a further discussion of HP's segment reorganization.

Note 2: Stock-Based Compensation

        HP's stock-based compensation plans include HP's principal equity plans as well as various equity plans assumed through acquisitions. HP's principal equity plans include performance-based restricted units ("PRU"), stock options and restricted stock awards.

        Total stock-based compensation expense before income taxes for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 was $148 million and $475 million, respectively. The resulting income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 was $46 million and $150 million, respectively. Total stock-based compensation expense before income taxes for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2010 was $166 million and $547 million, respectively. The resulting income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2010 was $54 million and $176 million, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

(Unaudited)

Note 2: Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

        HP's PRU program provides for the issuance of PRUs representing hypothetical shares of HP common stock. Each PRU award reflects a target number of shares ("Target Shares") that may be issued to the award recipient before adjusting for performance and market conditions. The actual number of shares the recipient receives is determined at the end of a three-year performance period based on results achieved versus company performance goals and may range from 0% to 200% of the Target Shares granted. The performance goals are based on HP's annual cash flow from operations as a percentage of revenue and a market condition based on total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the S&P 500 over the three-year performance period.

        Recipients of PRU awards generally must remain employed by HP on a continuous basis through the end of the applicable three-year performance period in order to receive any portion of the shares subject to that award. Target Shares do not have dividend equivalent rights and do not have the voting rights of common stock until earned and issued following the end of the applicable performance period. The expense for these awards, net of estimated forfeitures, is recorded over the requisite service period based on the number of Target Shares that are expected to be earned and the achievement of the cash flow goals during the performance period.

        HP estimates the fair value of a Target Share using a Monte Carlo simulation model, as the TSR modifier contains a market condition. The following weighted-average assumptions, in addition to projections of market conditions, were used to determine the weighted-average fair values of the PRU awards:

 
  Nine months ended
July 31
 
 
  2011   2010  

Weighted-average fair value of grants per share

  $ 27.59 (1) $ 57.13 (2)

Expected volatility(3)

    30 %   38 %

Risk-free interest rate

    0.38 %   0.73 %

Dividend yield

    0.75 %   0.64 %

Expected life in months

    19     22  

(1)
Reflects the weighted-average fair value for the third year of the three-year performance period applicable to PRUs granted in fiscal 2009, for the second year of the three-year performance period applicable to PRUs granted in fiscal 2010 and for the first year of the three-year performance period applicable to PRUs granted in the nine months ended July 31, 2011. The estimated fair value of a Target Share for the third year for PRUs granted in fiscal 2010 and for the second and third years for PRUs granted in the nine months ended July 31, 2011 will be determined on the measurement date applicable to those PRUs, which will be the date that the annual cash flow goals are approved for those PRUs, and the expense will be amortized over the remainder of the applicable three-year performance period.

(2)
Reflects the weighted-average fair value for the third year of the three-year performance period applicable to PRUs granted in fiscal 2008, for the second year of the three-year performance

(3)
HP uses historic volatility for PRU awards as implied volatility cannot be used when simulating multivariate prices for companies in the S&P 500.

        Non-vested PRUs as of July 31, 2011 and changes during the nine months ended July 31, 2011 were as follows:

 
  Shares
(in thousands)
 

Outstanding Target Shares at October 31, 2010

    18,508

    5,950  

Vested

Forfeited

    (1,637 )
       

Outstanding Target Shares at July 31, 2011

    22,821  
       

Outstanding Target Shares assigned a fair value at July 31, 2011

    17,098 (1)
       

(1)
Excludes Target Shares for the third year for PRUs granted in fiscal 2010 and for the second and third years for PRUs granted in the nine months ended July 31, 2011 as the measurement date has not yet been established. The measurement date and related fair value for the excluded PRUs will be established when the annual cash flow goals are approved.

        At July 31, 2011, there was $177 million of unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to PRUs with an assigned fair value, which HP expects to recognize over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.2 years.

        HP estimated the weighted-average fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 
  Three months ended
July 31
  Nine months ended
July 31
 
 
  2011   2010   2011   2010  

Weighted-average fair value of grants per share(1)

  $ 8.44   $ 13.66   $ 10.24   $ 14.04  

Implied volatility

    28 %   32 %   28 %   29 %

Risk-free interest rate

    1.64 %   1.96 %   1.87 %   2.29 %

Dividend yield

    1.34 %   0.69 %   0.94 %   0.64 %

Expected life in months

    61     60     60     61

The fair value calculation was based on stock options granted during the period.

        The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value that option holders would have received had all option holders exercised their options on July 31, 2011. The aggregate intrinsic value is the difference between HP's closing stock price on the last trading day of the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options. Total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 was $42 million and $648 million, respectively.

        At July 31, 2011, there was $188 million of unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, which HP expects to recognize over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.8 years.

        Restricted stock awards are non-vested stock awards that include grants of restricted stock and grants of restricted stock units.

Note 3: Net Earnings Per Share (Continued)

        HP excludes options with exercise prices that are greater than the average market price for HP's common stock from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, HP excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS options to purchase 26 million shares and 23 million shares, respectively, compared to 8 million shares and 5 million shares for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2010, respectively.

        In addition, HP also excludes options whose combined exercise price, unamortized fair value and excess tax benefits are greater than the average market price for HP's common stock because their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, HP excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS options to purchase an additional 1 million shares, compared to an additional 2 million shares and 3 million shares for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2010, respectively.

        HP has revolving trade receivables-based facilities permitting it to sell certain trade receivables to third parties. In accordance with the accounting requirements under the Accounting Standards Codification relating to "Transfers and Servicing," trade receivables are derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet when sold to third parties. The total aggregate capacity of the facilities was $1.5 billion as of July 31, 2011, including a $1 billion partial recourse facility entered into in May 2011 and an aggregate capacity of $0.5 billion in non-recourse facilities. The recourse obligation is measured using market data from similar transactions and reported as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The recourse obligation as of July 31, 2011 was not material. The total aggregate capacity of the facilities was $524 million as of October 31, 2010.

        For the first nine months of fiscal 2011 and 2010, trade receivables sold under these facilities were $1.8 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, which approximates the amount of cash received. The resulting losses on the sales of trade accounts receivable for the three months and nine months ended July 31, 2011, were not material. HP had $780 million as of July 31, 2011 and $175 million as of October 31, 2010 available under these programs.

Note 6: Restructuring Charges

        HP records restructuring charges associated with management-approved restructuring plans to either reorganize one or more of HP's business segments, or to remove duplicative headcount and infrastructure associated with one or more business acquisitions. Restructuring charges can include severance costs to eliminate a specified number of employees, infrastructure charges to vacate facilities and consolidate operations, and contract cancellation costs. Restructuring charges are recorded based upon planned employee termination dates and site closure and consolidation plans. The timing of associated cash payments is dependent upon the type of restructuring charge and can extend over a multi-year period. HP records the short-term portion of the restructuring liability in Accrued restructuring and the long-term portion in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

        In connection with the acquisitions of Palm, Inc ("Palm") and 3Com Corporation ("3Com") in fiscal 2010, HP's management approved and initiated plans to restructure the operations of the acquired companies, including severance for employees, contract cancellation costs, costs to vacate duplicative facilities and other items. The total expected combined cost of the plans is $88 million. As of July 31, 2011, HP had recorded the majority of the remaining costs of the plans based upon the anticipated timing of planned terminations and facility closure costs. With respect to the Palm integration plan, no further restructuring charges are anticipated, and the majority of the remaining costs have been paid out. However, as disclosed in Note 17, HP expects to incur additional restructuring and related shutdown costs in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 in connection with its August 2011 decision to discontinue the manufacture and sale of WebOS hardware products. The remaining costs pertaining to the 3Com integration plan are expected to be paid out through fiscal 2016 as fixed lease payments are made.

        On June 1, 2010, HP's management announced a plan to restructure its Enterprise Services business, which includes its Infrastructure Technology Outsourcing, Business Process Outsourcing and Application Services business units. The multi-year restructuring program includes plans to consolidate commercial data centers, tools and applications. The total expected cost of the plan that will be recorded as restructuring charges is approximately $1 billion, including severance costs to eliminate approximately 9,000 positions and infrastructure charges. HP recorded net restructuring charges of $23 million and $183 million, for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011. As of July 31, 2011, HP had recorded the majority of the severance costs. HP expects to record the majority of the infrastructure charges through fiscal 2012. The timing of the charges is based upon planned termination dates, site closure and consolidation plans. The majority of the associated cash payments are expected to be paid out through the second quarter of fiscal 2012. As of July 31, 2011, approximately 5,200 positions had been eliminated.

        In May 2009, HP's management approved and initiated a restructuring plan to structurally change and improve the effectiveness of the Imaging and Printing Group ("IPG"), Personal Systems Group ("PSG") and ESSN businesses. The total expected cost of the plan is $292 million in severance-related

Note 6: Restructuring Charges (Continued)

costs associated with the planned elimination of approximately 4,400 positions. As of July 31, 2011, all planned eliminations had occurred and the majority of the restructuring costs had been paid out.

        In connection with the acquisition of Electronic Data Systems Corporation ("EDS") on August 26, 2008, HP's management approved and initiated a restructuring plan to combine and align HP's services businesses, eliminate duplicative overhead functions and consolidate and vacate duplicative facilities. The restructuring plan is expected to be implemented over four years from the acquisition date at a total expected cost of $3.4 billion.

        The restructuring plan includes severance costs to eliminate approximately 25,000 positions. As of July 31, 2011, all planned eliminations had occurred and the vast majority of the associated severance costs had been paid out. The infrastructure charges in the restructuring plan include facility closure and consolidation costs and the costs associated with early termination of certain contractual obligations. HP expects to record the majority of these costs through fiscal 2011 based upon the execution of site closure and consolidation plans. The associated cash payments are expected to be paid out through fiscal 2016 as fixed lease payments are made.

        Approximately $1.5 billion of the expected costs were associated with pre-acquisition EDS and were reflected in the purchase price of EDS. These costs are subject to change based on the actual costs incurred. The remaining costs are primarily associated with HP and will be recorded as a restructuring charge.

        The adjustments to the accrued restructuring expenses related to all of HP's restructuring plans described above for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 were as follows:

Note 6: Restructuring Charges (Continued)

        At July 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, HP included the long-term portion of the restructuring liability of $177 million and $297 million, respectively, in Other liabilities, and the short-term portion in Accrued restructuring in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Note 7: Fair Value

        HP determines fair value based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

        Valuation techniques used by HP are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable or market inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect HP's assumptions about market participant assumptions based on best information available. Observable inputs are the preferred source of values. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

        Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets.

        Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

        Level 3—Prices or valuations that require management inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

        The following section describes the valuation methodologies HP uses to measure its financial assets and liabilities at fair value.

        Cash Equivalents and Investments: HP holds time deposits, money market funds, commercial paper, other debt securities primarily consisting of corporate and foreign government notes and bonds, and common stock and equivalents. Where applicable, HP uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets to determine fair value. If quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are not available to determine fair value, HP uses quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. If quoted prices for identical or similar assets are not available, HP uses internally developed valuation models, whose inputs include bid prices, and third-party valuations utilizing underlying assets assumptions.

        Derivative Instruments: As discussed in Note 8, HP mainly holds non-speculative forwards, swaps and options to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. When active market quotes are not available, HP uses industry standard valuation models. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, credit risk, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies. In certain cases, market-based observable inputs are not available and, in those cases, HP uses management judgment to develop assumptions which are used to determine fair value.

        Cash equivalents consist of investments in time deposits, commercial paper and money market funds with original maturities of ninety days or less. Time deposits were primarily issued by institutions outside the U.S. as of July 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010. Available-for-sale securities consist of short-term investments which mature within twelve months or less and long-term investments with maturities longer than twelve months. Investments include primarily time deposits, fixed-interest securities, and institutional bonds. HP estimates the fair values of its investments based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates. These estimated fair values may not be representative of actual values that will be realized in the future.

        The gross unrealized loss as of July 31, 2011 was due primarily to declines in certain debt securities and included $22 million that has been in a continuous loss position for more than twelve months. The gross unrealized loss as of October 31, 2010 was due primarily to declines in the fair value of certain debt securities and included $28 million that has been in a continuous loss position for more than twelve months. HP does not intend to sell these debt securities, and it is not likely that HP will be required to sell these debt securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost. In the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, HP did not recognize any impairment charge associated with debt securities. In the three and nine months ended July 31, 2010, HP recognized an impairment charge of $6 million and $8 million, respectively, on total investments.

        Equity securities in privately held companies include cost basis and equity method investments. Other investments include marketable trading securities. HP includes gains or losses from changes in fair value of these securities, offset by losses or gains on the related liabilities, in Interest and other, net, in HP's Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. The net impact associated with these securities was not material for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010.

        HP is a global company that is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and interest rate changes in the normal course of its business. As part of its risk management strategy, HP uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, option contracts, interest rate swaps, and total return swaps, to hedge certain foreign currency, interest rate and, to a lesser extent, equity exposures. HP's objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from these exposures with losses and gains on the derivative contracts used to hedge them, thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting fair values of assets and liabilities. HP does not have any leveraged derivatives and does not use derivative contracts for speculative purposes. HP designates its derivatives as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges

20

Note 8: Financial Instruments (Continued)

or hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation ("net investment hedges"). Additionally, for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, HP categorizes those economic hedges as other derivatives. HP recognizes all derivatives, on a gross basis, in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at fair value and reports them in Other current assets, Long-term financing receivables and other assets, Other accrued liabilities, or Other liabilities. HP classifies cash flows from the derivative programs as operating activities in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

        As a result of the use of derivative instruments, HP is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, HP has a policy of only entering into contracts with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors, and HP maintains dollar and term limits that correspond to each institution's credit rating. HP's established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk on principal transactions and short-term cash include reviewing and establishing limits for credit exposure and continually assessing the creditworthiness of counterparties. Master agreements with counterparties include master netting arrangements as further mitigation of credit exposure to counterparties. These arrangements permit HP to net amounts due from HP to a counterparty with amounts due to HP from the same counterparty.

        To further mitigate credit exposure to counterparties, HP may enter into collateral security arrangements with its counterparties. These arrangements require HP to post collateral or to hold collateral from counterparties when the derivative fair values exceed contractually established thresholds. As of July 31, 2011, the fair value of all derivative instruments under these collateralized arrangements were in a net asset position of approximately $50 million for which approximately $40 million of U.S. Treasury securities have been deposited to a third-party custodian by the counterparties.

        Certain of HP's derivative instruments contain credit risk-related contingent features, such as provisions whereby HP and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions if HP's or the counterparties' credit ratings fall below certain thresholds. As of July 31, 2011 and 2010, HP was not required to post any collateral, and HP did not have any derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features that were in a significant net liability position.

        HP enters into fair value hedges to reduce the exposure of its debt portfolio to interest rate risk. HP issues long-term debt in U.S. dollars based on market conditions at the time of financing. HP uses interest rate swaps to mitigate the market risk exposures in connection with the debt to achieve primarily U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating interest expense. The swap transactions generally involve principal and interest obligations for U.S. dollar-denominated amounts. Alternatively, HP may choose not to swap fixed for floating interest payments or may terminate a previously executed swap if it believes a larger proportion of fixed-rate debt would be beneficial. When investing in fixed-rate instruments, HP may enter into interest rate swaps that convert the fixed interest returns into variable interest returns and would classify these swaps as fair value hedges. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, HP recognizes the gain or loss on the derivative

Note 8: Financial Instruments (Continued)

instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, in Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings in the current period.

        HP uses a combination of forward contracts and options designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in its forecasted net revenue and, to a lesser extent, cost of sales, operating expense, and intercompany lease loan denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. HP's foreign currency cash flow hedges mature generally within six to twelve months. However, certain leasing revenue-related forward contracts and intercompany lease loan forward contracts extend for the duration of the lease term, which can be up to five years. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, HP initially records the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as a separate component of stockholders' equity and subsequently reclassifies these amounts into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. HP reports the effective portion of cash flow hedges in the same financial statement line item as the changes in value of the hedged item. During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, HP did not discontinue any cash flow hedge for which it was probable that a forecasted transaction would not occur.

        HP uses forward contracts designated as net investment hedges to hedge net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local currency. These derivative instruments are designated as net investment hedges and, as such, HP records the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument together with changes in the hedged items in cumulative translation adjustment as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

        Other derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist primarily of forward contracts HP uses to hedge foreign currency balance sheet exposures. HP also uses total return swaps and, to a lesser extent, interest rate swaps, based on the equity and fixed income indices, to hedge its executive deferred compensation plan liability. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, HP recognizes changes in the fair values in earnings in the period of change. HP recognizes the gain or loss on foreign currency forward contracts used to hedge balance sheet exposures in Interest and other, net in the same period as the remeasurement gain and loss of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. HP recognizes the gain or loss on the total return swaps and interest rate swaps in Interest and other, net in the same period as the gain or loss from the change in market value of the executive deferred compensation plan liability.

        For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges, HP measures effectiveness by offsetting the change in fair value of the hedged debt with the change in fair value of the derivative. For foreign currency options and forward contracts designated as cash flow or net investment hedges, HP measures

22

Note 8: Financial Instruments (Continued)

effectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the hedge contract with the cumulative change in the hedged item, both of which are based on forward rates. HP recognizes any ineffective portion of the hedge, as well as amounts not included in the assessment of effectiveness, in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. As of July 31, 2011 and 2010, the portion of hedging instruments' gain or loss excluded from the assessment of effectiveness was not material for fair value, cash flow or net investment hedges. Hedge ineffectiveness for fair value, cash flow and net investment hedges was not material in the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010.

        As discussed in Note 7, HP estimates the fair values of derivatives primarily based on pricing models using current market rates and records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.

        For the balance of HP's financial instruments, 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. The estimated fair value of HP's short- and long-term debt was approximately $26.0 billion at July 31, 2011, compared to a carrying value of $25.7 billion at that date. The estimated fair value of HP's short- and long-term debt was approximately $22.5 billion at October 31, 2010, compared to a carrying value of $22.3 billion at that date. The estimated fair value of the debt is based primarily on quoted market prices, as well as borrowing rates currently available to HP for bank loans with similar terms and maturities.

Note 9: Financing Receivables and Operating Leases

        Financing receivables represent sales-type and direct-financing leases resulting from the placement of HP and 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. Financing receivables also include billed receivables from operating leases. The components of net financing receivables, which are included in financing receivables and long-term financing receivables and other assets, were as follows:

Note 9: Financing Receivables and Operating Leases (Continued)

        In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued amendments to the disclosure requirements pertaining to the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The amendments require disclosures related to the credit risk inherent in an entity's portfolio of financing receivables and how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses. The amendments also require enhanced disclosures related to changes in the allowance for credit losses and the reasons for those changes. HP adopted this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

        Due to the homogenous nature of the leasing transactions, HP manages its financing receivables on an aggregate basis when assessing and monitoring credit risk. Credit risk 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. The credit quality of an obligor is evaluated at lease inception and monitored over the term of a transaction. Risk ratings are assigned to each lease based on the creditworthiness of the obligor and other variables that augment or diminish the inherent credit risk of a particular transaction. Such variables include the underlying value and liquidity of the collateral, the essential use of the equipment, the term of the lease, and the inclusion of guarantees, letters of credit, security deposits or other credit enhancements.

        The credit risk profile of the gross financing receivables, based on internally assigned ratings, was as follows:

High

    64     88  
           

Total

        Accounts rated low risk typically have the equivalent of a Standard & Poor's rating of BBB- or higher, while accounts rated moderate risk would be the equivalent of BB+ or lower. Based upon impairment analyses, HP identifies and monitors accounts rated high risk and establishes specific reserves against a portion of these receivables.

        HP establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure financing receivables are not overstated due to uncollectability. The allowance balance is comprised of a general reserve, which is determined based on a percentage of the financing receivables balance, and a specific reserve, which is established for certain accounts with identified exposures, such as customer default, bankruptcy or other events, that make it unlikely that HP will recover its investment in the lease. The general reserve percentages are maintained on a regional basis and are based on several factors, which include consideration of historical credit losses and portfolio delinquencies, trends in the overall weighted- average risk rating of the portfolio, and information derived from competitive benchmarking.

        Accounts are generally put on non-accrual status (cessation of interest accrual) when they reach 90 days past due. In certain circumstances, such as when the delinquency is deemed to be of an administrative nature, accounts may still accrue interest when they reach 90 days past due. A write-off or specific reserve is generally recorded when an account reaches 180 days past due. As of July 31, 2011, total financing receivables on non-accrual status were $195 million, and total financing receivables greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest were $94 million.

Note 10: Guarantees

        In the ordinary course of business, HP may provide certain clients with subsidiary performance guarantees and/or financial performance guarantees, which may be backed by standby letters of credit or surety bonds. In general, HP would be liable for the amounts of these guarantees in the event HP or HP's subsidiaries' nonperformance permits termination of the related contract by the client, the likelihood of which HP believes is remote. HP believes that the company is in compliance with the performance obligations under all material service contracts for which there is a performance guarantee.

        HP has certain service contracts supported by client financing or securitization arrangements. Under specific circumstances involving nonperformance resulting in service contract termination or failure to comply with terms under the financing arrangement, HP would be required to acquire certain

assets. HP considers the possibility of its failure to comply to be remote and the asset amounts involved to be immaterial.

        In the ordinary course of business, HP enters into contractual arrangements under which HP may agree to indemnify the third party to such arrangements from any losses incurred relating to the services they perform on behalf of HP or for losses arising from certain events as defined within the particular contract, which may include, for example, litigation or claims relating to past performance. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments made related to these indemnifications have been immaterial.

        HP provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time it recognizes revenue. HP engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers; however, product warranty terms offered to customers, ongoing product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure, as well as specific product class failures outside of HP's baseline experience, affect the estimated warranty obligation. If actual product failure rates, repair rates or any other post sales support costs differ from these estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

        The changes in HP's aggregate product warranty liabilities for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 were as follows:

Note 11: Borrowings (Continued)

        As disclosed in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, HP uses interest rate swaps to mitigate the market risk exposures in connection with certain fixed interest global notes to achieve primarily U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating interest expense. The table above does not reflect the interest rate swap impact on the interest rate.

        HP may redeem some or all of the Global Notes set forth in the above table at any time at the redemption prices described in the prospectus supplements relating thereto. The Global Notes are senior unsecured debt.

        In May 2009, HP filed a shelf registration statement (the "2009 Shelf Registration Statement") with the SEC to enable the company to offer for sale, from time to time, in one or more offerings, an unspecified amount of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants. The 2009 Shelf Registration Statement replaced other registration statements filed in March 2002 and May 2006.

        In May 2008, HP's Board of Directors approved an increase in the capacity of HP's U.S. commercial paper program by $10.0 billion to $16.0 billion. HP's subsidiaries are authorized to issue up to an additional $1.0 billion of commercial paper, of which $500 million of capacity is currently available to be used by Hewlett-Packard International Bank PLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HP, for its Euro Commercial Paper/Certificate of Deposit Programme.

        HP has a $3.0 billion five-year credit facility that expires in May 2012 and a $4.5 billion four-year credit facility that expires in February 2015. Commitment fees, interest rates and other terms of borrowing under the credit facilities vary based on HP's external credit ratings. The credit facilities are senior unsecured committed borrowing arrangements primarily to support the issuance of U.S. commercial paper. HP's ability to have a U.S. commercial paper outstanding balance that exceeds the $7.5 billion supported by these credit facilities is subject to a number of factors, including liquidity conditions and business performance.

        Within Other, including capital lease obligations, are borrowings that are collateralized by certain financing receivable assets. As of July 31, 2011, the carrying value of the assets approximated the carrying value of the borrowings of $284 million.

        As of July 31, 2011, HP had the capacity to issue an unspecified amount of additional debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants under the 2009 Shelf Registration Statement. As of that date, HP also had up to approximately $14.7 billion of available borrowing resources, including $13.6 billion under its commercial paper programs and approximately $1.1 billion relating to uncommitted lines of credit.

Note 12: Income Taxes

        HP's effective tax rate was 19.7% and 19.0% for the three months ended July 31, 2011 and July 31, 2010, respectively, and 20.4% and 19.8% for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 and July 31, 2010, respectively. HP's effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from HP's operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world. The jurisdictions with favorable tax rates that have the most

significant effective tax rate impact in the periods presented include Singapore, the Netherlands, China, Ireland and Puerto Rico. HP has not provided U.S. taxes for all of such earnings because HP plans to reinvest some of those earnings indefinitely outside the United States.

        In the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, HP recorded discrete items with a net tax benefit of $145 million and $302 million, respectively. These amounts included net tax benefits of $62 million and $174 million, respectively, from restructuring and acquisition charges, and net tax benefits of $83 million and $85 million, respectively, for settlement of tax audit matters and other miscellaneous discrete items. In addition, in December 2010, the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 was signed into law. HP recorded a tax benefit of $43 million arising from the retroactive research and development credit provided by that legislation in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

        In the three and nine months ended July 31, 2010, HP recorded discrete items with a net tax benefit of $236 million and $375 million, respectively. These amounts included net tax benefits of $206 million and $340 million, respectively, from restructuring and acquisition charges; and net tax benefits of $30 million and $35 million, respectively, associated with adjustments to prior year foreign income tax accruals and credits, settlement of tax audit matters, valuation allowance releases, and other miscellaneous discrete items.

        As of July 31, 2011, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $1.9 billion, of which up to $1.3 billion would affect HP's effective tax rate if realized. HP recognizes interest income and interest expense and penalties on tax overpayments and underpayments within income tax expense. As of July 31, 2011, HP had accrued a net $164 million payable for interest and penalties. In the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, HP recognized $18 million and $17 million, respectively, of net interest income on net tax overpayments, net of tax.

        HP engages in continuous discussion and negotiation with taxing authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. HP does not expect complete resolution of any Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") audit cycle within the next 12 months. However, it is reasonably possible that certain federal, foreign and state tax issues may be concluded in the next 12 months, including issues involving transfer pricing and other matters. Accordingly, HP believes it is reasonably possible that its existing unrecognized tax benefits may be reduced by an amount up to $198 million within the next 12 months.

        HP is subject to income tax in the United States and approximately 80 foreign countries and is subject to routine corporate income tax audits in many of these jurisdictions. In addition, HP is subject to numerous ongoing audits by state and foreign tax authorities. HP has received from the IRS Notices of Deficiency for its fiscal 1999, 2000, 2003, 2004 and 2005 tax years, and Revenue Agent's Reports ("RAR") for its fiscal 2001, 2002 and 2006 tax years. The IRS began an audit of HP's 2007 income tax returns in 2009, and began its audit of HP's 2008 and 2009 income tax returns during 2010 and 2011, respectively. With respect to major foreign and state tax jurisdictions, HP is no longer subject to tax authority examinations for years prior to 1999. HP believes that adequate reserves have been provided for all open tax years.

        On January 30, 2008, HP received a Notice of Deficiency from the IRS for its fiscal 2003 tax year. At the same time, HP received an RAR from the IRS for its fiscal 2002 tax year that proposed no change in HP's tax liability for that year. The IRS's adjustments for both years, if sustained, would

Note 12: Income Taxes (Continued)


reduce tax refund claims HP has filed for net operating loss carrybacks to earlier fiscal years and reduce the tax benefits of tax credit carryforwards to subsequent years, by approximately $215 million. HP is contesting the remaining adjustments proposed in the Notice of Deficiency and the RAR. Towards this end, HP filed a petition with the United States Tax Court on April 29, 2008. HP believes that it has provided adequate reserves for any tax deficiencies or reductions in refund claims that could result from the IRS actions.

        On July 30, 2009, HP received a Notice of Deficiency from the IRS for its fiscal 2004 and 2005 tax years. On July 8, 2011, HP finalized a closing agreement with the IRS covering specific matters for these tax years. The remaining unresolved IRS adjustments for both years, if sustained, would reduce the tax benefits of tax credit carryforwards to subsequent years by approximately $35 million. HP is contesting these adjustments through IRS Appeals. HP believes that it has provided adequate reserves for any tax deficiencies or reductions in tax benefits that could result from the IRS actions.

        The IRS has completed its examination of EDS tax years through 2002 and no unresolved issues remain outstanding. EDS has received RARs for its 2003 through 2006 tax years, proposing tax deficiencies of $110 million. These deficiencies include a $29 million effect on carrybacks to 2000 through 2002. The IRS is currently auditing EDS's tax years 2007 and the short period ended August 26, 2008. HP is appealing certain issues and believes adequate reserves have been provided for all years.

Note 13: Stockholders' Equity

        HP's share repurchase program authorizes both open market and private repurchase transactions. In the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, HP executed share repurchases of 126 million shares and 242 million shares, respectively. For the three months ended July 31, 2011, repurchases of 128 million shares were settled for $4.6 billion. For the nine months ended July 31, 2011, repurchases of 245 million shares were settled for $9.6 billion, which included 4 million shares repurchased in transactions that were executed in fiscal 2010 but settled in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. HP had approximately 1 million shares repurchased in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 that will be settled in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. HP paid approximately $2.6 billion in connection with repurchases of approximately 55 million shares during the three months ended July 31, 2010 and paid approximately

Note 14: Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans

        HP offers various defined contribution plans for U.S. and non-U.S. employees. As disclosed in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, HP matching contributions under both the HP 401(k) Plan and the EDS 401(k) Plan in fiscal 2010 were on a quarterly, discretionary, performance-based match of up to a maximum of 4% of eligible compensation for all U.S. employees to be determined each fiscal quarter based on business results. HP's matching contributions for each of the quarters in fiscal 2010 were 100% of the maximum 4% match. Effective in fiscal year 2011, the quarterly employer matching contributions in the HP 401(k) Plan and the EDS 401(k) Plan are no longer discretionary and are equal to 100% of an employee's contributions, up to a maximum of 4% of eligible compensation. In addition, effective December 31, 2010, the EDS 401(k) Plan was merged into the HP 401(k) Plan.

Note 14: Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans (Continued)

        HP previously disclosed in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 that in fiscal year 2011 it expected to contribute approximately $747 million to its pension plans and approximately $30 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants. In addition, HP disclosed that it expected to pay approximately $40 million to cover benefit claims for HP's post-retirement benefit plans. HP's funding policy is to contribute cash to its pension plans so that it makes at least the minimum contribution required by local authorities.

        During the nine months ended July 31, 2011, HP made $323 million of contributions to its pension plans, paid $19 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants, and paid $20 million to cover benefit claims under post-retirement benefit plans. During the remainder of fiscal 2011, HP anticipates making additional contributions of approximately $424 million to its pension plans and approximately $11 million to its U.S. non-qualified plan participants and expects to pay up to $20 million to cover benefit claims under post-retirement benefit plans. HP's pension and other post-retirement benefit costs and obligations are dependent on various assumptions. Differences between expected and actual returns on investments will be reflected as unrecognized gains or losses, and such gains or losses will be amortized and recorded in future periods. Poor financial performance of invested assets in any year could lead to increased contributions in certain countries and increased future pension plan expense. Asset gains or losses are determined at the measurement date and amortized over the remaining service life or life expectancy of plan participants. HP's next measurement date is October 31, 2011.

Note 15: Litigation and Contingencies

        HP is involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including those identified below, consisting of intellectual property, commercial, securities, employment, employee benefits and environmental matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. HP records a provision for a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. HP believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters, and, as of July 31, 2011, it was not reasonably possible that an additional material loss had been incurred in an amount in excess of the amounts already recognized on HP's financial statements. HP reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Based on its experience, HP believes that any damage amounts claimed in the specific matters discussed below are not a meaningful indicator of HP's potential liability. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, HP believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies.

Litigation, Proceedings and Investigations

        Copyright levies.    As described below, proceedings are ongoing or have been concluded involving HP in certain European Union ("EU") member countries, including litigation in Germany, Belgium and Austria, seeking to impose or modify levies upon equipment (such as multifunction devices ("MFDs"), personal computers ("PCs") and printers) and alleging that these devices enable producing

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

Note 15: Litigation and Contingencies (Continued)

private copies of copyrighted materials. Descriptions of some of the ongoing proceedings are included below. The levies are generally based upon the number of products sold and the per-product amounts of the levies, which vary. Some EU member countries that do not yet have levies on digital devices are expected to implement similar legislation to enable them to extend existing levy schemes, while some other EU member countries are expected to limit the scope of levy schemes and applicability in the digital hardware environment. HP, other companies and various industry associations have opposed the extension of levies to the digital environment and have advocated alternative models of compensation to rights holders.

        VerwertungsGesellschaft Wort ("VG Wort"), a collection agency representing certain copyright holders, instituted legal proceedings against HP in the Stuttgart Civil Court seeking levies on printers. On December 22, 2004, the court held that HP is liable for payments regarding all printers using ASCII code sold in Germany but did not determine the amount payable per unit. HP appealed this decision in January 2005 to the Stuttgart Court of Appeals. On May 11, 2005, the Stuttgart Court of Appeals issued a decision confirming that levies are due. On June 6, 2005, HP filed an appeal to the German Federal Supreme Court in Karlsruhe. On December 6, 2007, the German Federal Supreme Court issued a judgment that printers are not subject to levies under the existing law. The court issued a written decision on January 25, 2008, and VG Wort subsequently filed an application with the German Federal Supreme Court under Section 321a of the German Code of Civil Procedure contending that the court did not consider their arguments. On May 9, 2008, the German Federal Supreme Court denied VG Wort's application. VG Wort appealed the decision by filing a claim with the German Federal Constitutional Court challenging the ruling that printers are not subject to levies. On September 21, 2010, the Constitutional Court published a decision holding that the German Federal Supreme Court erred by not referring questions on interpretation of German copyright law to the Court of Justice of the European Union ("CJEU") and therefore revoked the German Federal Supreme Court decision and remitted the matter to it. On July 21, 2011, the German Federal Supreme Court stayed the proceedings and referred several questions to the CJEU with regard to the interpretation of the European Copyright Directive.

        In September 2003, VG Wort filed a lawsuit against Fujitsu Siemens Computer GmbH ("FSC") in the Munich Civil Court in Munich, Germany seeking levies on PCs. This is an industry test case in Germany, and HP has agreed not to object to the delay if VG Wort sues HP for such levies on PCs following a final decision against FSC. On December 23, 2004, the Munich Civil Court held that PCs are subject to a levy and that FSC must pay € 12 plus compound interest for each PC sold in Germany since March 2001. FSC appealed this decision in January 2005 to the Munich Court of Appeals. On December 15, 2005, the Munich Court of Appeals affirmed the Munich Civil Court decision. FSC filed an appeal with the German Federal Supreme Court in February 2006. On October 2, 2008, the German Federal Supreme Court issued a judgment that PCs were not photocopiers within the meaning of the German copyright law that was in effect until December 31, 2007 and, therefore, not subject to the levies on photocopiers established by that law. VG Wort subsequently filed a claim with the German Federal Constitutional Court challenging that ruling. In January 2011, the Constitutional Court published a decision holding that the German Federal Supreme Court decision was inconsistent with the German Constitution and revoking the German Federal Supreme Court decision. The Constitutional Court remitted the matter to the German Federal Supreme Court for further action. On

July 21, 2011, the German Federal Supreme Court stayed the proceedings and referred several questions to the CJEU with regard to the interpretation of the European Copyright Directive.

        Reprobel, a cooperative society with the authority to collect and distribute the remuneration for reprography to Belgian copyright holders, requested HP by extra-judicial means to amend certain copyright levy declarations submitted for inkjet MFDs sold in Belgium from January 2005 to December 2009 to enable it to collect copyright levies calculated based on the generally higher copying speed when the MFDs are operated in draft print mode rather than when operated in normal print mode. In March 2010, HP filed a lawsuit against Reprobel in the French-speaking chambers of the Court of First Instance of Brussels seeking a declaratory judgment that no copyright levies are payable on sales of MFDs in Belgium or, alternatively, that copyright levies payable on such MFDs must be assessed based on the copying speed when operated in the normal print mode set by default in the device. The schedule for the court proceedings has been determined, and no decision from the court is expected before September 2012.

        Based on industry opposition to the extension of levies to digital products, HP's assessments of the merits of various proceedings and HP's estimates of the units impacted and levies, HP has accrued amounts that it believes are adequate to address the matters described above. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters and the associated financial impact on HP, including the number of units impacted, the amount of levies imposed and the ability of HP to recover such amounts through increased prices, remains uncertain.

        Skold, et al. v. Intel Corporation and Hewlett-Packard Company is a lawsuit in which HP was joined on June 14, 2004 that is pending in state court in Santa Clara County, California. The lawsuit alleges that HP (along with Intel) misled the public by suppressing and concealing the alleged material fact that systems that use the Intel Pentium 4 processor are less powerful and slower than systems using the Intel Pentium III processor and processors made by a competitor of Intel. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, restitution, attorneys' fees and costs, and certification of a nationwide class. On February 27, 2009, the court denied with prejudice plaintiffs' motion for nationwide class certification for a third time. On August 31, 2011, the California Court of Appeal reversed the trial court's denial of class certification and remanded the case back to the trial court for further proceedings on the question of class certification.

        Inkjet Printer Litigation.    As described below, HP is involved in several lawsuits claiming breach of express and implied warranty, unjust enrichment, deceptive advertising and unfair business practices where the plaintiffs have alleged, among other things, that HP employed a "smart chip" in certain inkjet printing products in order to register ink depletion prematurely and to render the cartridge unusable through a built-in expiration date that is hidden, not documented in marketing materials to consumers, or both. The plaintiffs have also contended that consumers received false ink depletion warnings and that the smart chip limits the ability of consumers to use the cartridge to its full capacity or to choose competitive products.

        On August 25, 2010, HP and the plaintiffs in In re HP Inkjet Printer Litigation, Blennis v. HP and Rich v. HP entered into an agreement to settle those lawsuits on behalf of the proposed classes, which agreement is subject to approval of the court before it becomes final. Under the terms of the proposed settlement, the lawsuits will be consolidated, and eligible class members will each have the right to obtain e-credits not to exceed $5 million in the aggregate for use in purchasing printers or printer supplies through HP's website. As part of the proposed settlement, HP also agreed to provide class members with additional information regarding HP inkjet printer functionality and to change the content of certain software and user guide messaging provided to users regarding the life of inkjet printer cartridges. In addition, class counsel and the class representatives will be paid attorneys' fees and expenses and stipends. On March 29, 2011, the court granted final approval to the settlement. On April 27, 2011, certain class members who objected to the settlement filed an appeal of the court's order granting final approval to the settlement.

        Baggett v. HP is a consumer class action filed against HP on June 6, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Central District of California alleging that HP employs a technology in its LaserJet color printers whereby the printing process shuts down prematurely, thus preventing customers from using the toner that is allegedly left in the cartridge. The plaintiffs also allege that HP fails to disclose to consumers that they will be unable to utilize the toner remaining in the cartridge after the printer shuts down. The complaint seeks certification of a nationwide class of purchasers of all HP LaserJet color printers and seeks unspecified damages, restitution, disgorgement, injunctive relief, attorneys' fees and costs. On September 29, 2009, the court granted HP's motion for summary judgment against the named plaintiff and denied plaintiff's motion for class certification as moot. On

November 3, 2009, the court entered judgment against the named plaintiff. On November 17, 2009, plaintiff filed an appeal of the court's summary judgment ruling with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On August 25, 2010, HP and the plaintiff entered into an agreement to settle the lawsuit on behalf of the proposed class, which agreement is subject to approval of the court before it becomes final. Under the terms of the proposed settlement, eligible class members will each have the right to obtain e-credits not to exceed $5 million in the aggregate for use in purchasing printers or printer supplies through HP's website. In addition, class counsel and the class representative will be paid attorneys' fees and expenses and stipends in an amount that is yet to be approved by the court. On October 13, 2010, the court granted preliminary approval of the proposed settlement. The court held a fairness hearing on February 14, 2011 to determine whether to grant final approval of the proposed settlement. On August 31, 2011, the court granted final approval of the settlement. Any objectors to the settlement have 30 days to appeal the grant of final approval.

        Fair Labor Standards Act Litigation.    HP is involved in several lawsuits in which the plaintiffs are seeking unpaid overtime compensation and other damages based on allegations that various employees of EDS or HP have been misclassified as exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act and/or in violation of the California Labor Code or other state laws. Those matters include the following:

        In addition to the above matters, on May 24, 2011, a purported collective action captioned Fenn, et al. v. Hewlett-Packard Company was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Idaho. The suit alleges that customer service representatives working in HP's U.S. call centers are not paid for time spent booting up and shutting down their computers in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Plaintiffs have asked the court to conditionally certify a putative class of alleged similarly situated employees. HP has opposed the request.

        India Directorate of Revenue Intelligence Proceedings.    As described below, Hewlett-Packard India Sales Private Ltd ("HPI"), a subsidiary of HP, and certain current and former HP employees have received show cause notices from the India Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (the "DRI") alleging underpayment of certain customs duties:

HP intends to contest each of the show cause notices through the judicial process. HP has responded or is in the process of responding to the show cause notices.

        Russia GPO and Related Investigations.    The German Public Prosecutor's Office ("German PPO") has been conducting an investigation into allegations that current and former employees of HP engaged in bribery, embezzlement and tax evasion relating to a transaction between Hewlett-Packard ISE GmbH in Germany, a former subsidiary of HP, and the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian

Federation. The approximately €35 million transaction, which was referred to as the Russia GPO deal, spanned the years 2001 to 2006 and was for the delivery and installation of an IT network.

        The U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC have also been conducting an investigation into the Russia GPO deal and potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"). Under the FCPA, a person or an entity could be subject to fines, civil penalties of up to $500,000 per violation and equitable remedies, including disgorgement and other injunctive relief. In addition, criminal penalties could range from the greater of $2 million per violation or twice the gross pecuniary gain or loss from the violation.

        In addition to information about the Russia GPO deal, the U.S. enforcement authorities have requested (i) information related to certain other transactions, including transactions in Russia, Serbia and in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) subregion dating back to 2000, and (ii) information related to two former HP executives seconded to Russia and to whether HP personnel in Russia, Germany, Austria, Serbia, the Netherlands or CIS were involved in kickbacks or other improper payments to channel partners or state-owned or private entities.

        HP is cooperating with these investigating agencies.

        In addition, as described below, HP is involved in stockholder derivative litigation arising from the Russia GPO deal, the related investigations and other matters commenced against current and former members of the HP Board of Directors in which the plaintiffs are seeking to recover certain compensation paid by HP to the defendants and other damages:

        ECT Proceedings.    In January 2011, the postal service of Brazil, Empresa Brasileira de Correios e Telégrafos (ECT), notified HP that it had initiated administrative proceedings against an HP subsidiary in Brazil ("HP Brazil") to consider whether to suspend HP Brazil's right to bid and contract with ECT related to alleged improprieties in the bidding and contracting processes whereby employees of HP Brazil and employees of several other companies coordinated their bids for three ECT contracts in 2007 and 2008. In late July 2011, ECT notified HP it had decided to apply the penalties against HP Brazil, suspending HP Brazil's right to bid and contract with ECT for five years, based upon the evidence before it. In August 2011, HP filed petitions with ECT requesting that the decision be revoked and seeking injunctive relief to have the application of the penalties suspended until a final, non-appealable decision is made on the merits of the case. HP is currently awaiting a response from ECT on both petitions.

        Leak Investigation Proceedings.    As described below, HP is or has been the subject of various governmental inquiries concerning the processes employed in an investigation into leaks of HP confidential information to members of the media that concluded in May 2006:

        In addition, four stockholder derivative lawsuits have been filed in California purportedly on behalf of HP stockholders seeking to recover damages for alleged breach of fiduciary duty and to require HP to improve its corporate governance and internal control procedures as a result of the activities of the leak investigation: Staehr v. Dunn, et al. was filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court on September 18, 2006; Worsham v. Dunn, et al. was filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court on September 14, 2006; Tansey v. Dunn, et al. was filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court on September 20, 2006; and Hall v. Dunn, et al. was filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court on September 25, 2006. On October 19, 2006, the Santa Clara County Superior Court consolidated the four California cases under the caption In re Hewlett-Packard Company Derivative Litigation. The consolidated complaint filed on November 19, 2006, also seeks to recover damages in connection with sales of HP stock alleged to have been made by certain current and former HP officers and directors while in possession of material non-public information. Two additional stockholder derivative lawsuits, Pifko v. Babbio, et al., filed on September 19, 2006, and Gross v. Babbio, et al., filed on November 21, 2006, were filed in Chancery Court, County of New Castle, Delaware; both seek to recover damages for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and to obtain an order instructing the defendants to refrain from further breaches of fiduciary duty and to implement corrective measures that will prevent future occurrences of the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. On January 24, 2007, the Delaware court consolidated the two cases under the caption In re Hewlett-Packard Company Derivative Litigation and subsequently stayed the proceedings, as the parties had reached a tentative settlement. The HP Board of Directors appointed a Special Litigation Committee consisting of independent Board members authorized to investigate, review and evaluate the facts and circumstances asserted in these derivative matters and to determine how HP should proceed in these matters. On December 14, 2007, HP and the plaintiffs in the California and Delaware derivative actions entered into an agreement to settle those lawsuits. Under the terms of the settlement, HP agreed to continue certain corporate governance changes until December 31, 2012 and to pay the plaintiffs' attorneys' fees. The California court granted final approval to the settlement on March 11, 2008 and subsequently granted plaintiffs' counsel's fee application and dismissed the action. On June 12, 2008, the Delaware court granted final approval to the settlement and the plaintiffs' application for attorneys' fees and also dismissed the action. Because

neither the dismissal of the California nor the Delaware derivative action was thereafter appealed, both cases are now concluded.

Environmental

        Our operations and our products are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations concerning environmental protection, including laws addressing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, the cleanup of contaminated sites, the content of its products and the recycling, treatment and disposal of its products. In particular, HP faces increasing complexity in its product design and procurement operations as it adjusts to new and future requirements relating to the chemical and materials composition of its products, their safe use, the energy consumption associated with those products, including requirements relating to climate change. We also are subject to legislation in an increasing number of jurisdictions that makes producers of electrical goods, including computers and printers, financially responsible for specified collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of past and future covered products (sometimes referred to as "product take-back legislation"). HP could incur substantial costs, its products could be restricted from entering certain jurisdictions, and it could face other sanctions, if it were to violate or become liable under environmental laws or if its products become non-compliant with environmental laws. HP's potential exposure includes fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third-party property damage or personal injury claims and clean up costs. The amount and timing of costs under environmental laws are difficult to predict.

        HP is party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings brought by U.S. or state environmental agencies under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), known as "Superfund," or state laws similar to CERCLA. HP is also conducting environmental investigations or remediations at several current or former operating sites pursuant to administrative orders or consent agreements with state environmental agencies.

Note 16: Segment Information

        HP is a leading global provider of products, technologies, software, solutions and services to individual consumers, small- and medium-sized businesses ("SMBs"), and large enterprises, including customers in the government, health and education sectors. HP's offerings span multi-vendor customer services, including infrastructure technology and business process outsourcing, technology support and maintenance, application development and support services, and consulting and integration services; enterprise information technology ("IT") infrastructure, including enterprise server and storage technology, networking products and solutions, information management software and software that optimizes business technology investments; personal computing and other access devices; and imaging and printing-related products and services.

        HP and its operations are organized into seven business segments for financial reporting purposes: Services, ESSN, HP Software, PSG, IPG, HP Financial Services ("HPFS"), and Corporate Investments. HP's organizational structure is based on a number of factors that management uses to evaluate, view and run its business operations, which include, but are not limited to, customer base, homogeneity of

products and technology. The business segments are based on this organizational structure and information reviewed by HP's management to evaluate the business segment results.

        HP has reclassified segment operating results for fiscal 2010 to conform to certain fiscal 2011 organizational realignments. None of the changes impacts HP's previously reported consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per share. Future changes to this organizational structure may result in changes to the business segments disclosed.

        A description of the types of products and services provided by each business segment follows:

Note 16: Segment Information (Continued)

        HP derives the results of the business segments directly from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies HP uses to derive business segment results are substantially the same as those the consolidated company uses. Management measures the performance of each business segment based on several metrics, including earnings from operations. Management uses these results, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and to assign resources to, each of the business segments. HP does not allocate to its business segments certain operating expenses, which it manages separately at the corporate level. These unallocated costs include primarily restructuring charges and any associated adjustments related to restructuring actions, amortization of purchased intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense related to HP-granted employee stock options, PRUs, restricted stock awards and the employee stock purchase plan, certain acquisition-related charges and charges for purchased in-process research and development, as well as certain corporate governance costs.

Note 17: Subsequent Events

        In August 2011, HP and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of HP entered into an Offer Agreement with Autonomy Corporation plc ("Autonomy"). Pursuant to the Offer Agreement, HP announced the terms of a recommended cash offer (the "Offer") under which HP would acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Autonomy for £25.50 per share in cash, representing an enterprise value of approximately $11 billion. The Offer is subject to customary conditions including, acceptance of the Offer by the holders of at least 75% of the Autonomy share capital; subject to certain exceptions, that the members of Autonomy's board of directors will continue to recommend the Offer; expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; clearance of other required regulatory approvals; and other customary conditions. HP intends to fund the Offer with a combination of HP's cash resources and debt financing. Pursuant to the cash confirmation process mandated by Section 2.5(a) of the UK City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, HP has agreed with its financial advisors for the Offer that it will hold a minimum of $4.25 billion in cash reserves available to fund the Offer for a specified period expected to extend until the completion of the acquisition. In addition, HP has purchased foreign exchange options at a cost of approximately $333 million to limit its foreign exchange risk in connection with the acquisition. Changes in the fair value of the options will be recognized in earnings until the options are exercised.

        In August 2011, HP entered into a new £5 billion ($8.2 billion) 364-day unsecured bridge term loan agreement (the "Bridge Facility"). The Bridge Facility may be used for cash consideration to fund the acquisition of Autonomy, including amounts used to refinance indebtedness to fund that acquisition.

        In August 2011, HP announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the evaluation of strategic alternatives for PSG. HP's preferred alternative is the separation of its PC business into a separate company through a spin-off or other transaction, but the evaluation process is ongoing. HP expects the evaluation process to be completed by the end of calendar year 2011 and any separation or other strategic plan to be implemented within approximately 12-18 months after the date of the original announcement.

Note 17: Subsequent Events (Continued)

        In August 2011, HP announced that it will discontinue the manufacture and sale of all of its WebOS hardware products, including its WebOS smartphones and the HP TouchPad, and will explore alternatives to optimize the value of the WebOS software. In connection with this decision, HP expects to record a one-time charge in its fourth fiscal quarter of 2011 of approximately $1 billion for restructuring and related shutdown costs. A majority of these charges are expected to be paid in HP's fourth fiscal quarter. In addition, as HP works through alternatives for the WebOS software, which HP acquired in connection with its acquisition of Palm, HP will evaluate the goodwill and other intangible assets related to the Palm acquisition for any potential impairment and, if appropriate, recognize a related non-cash charge in the appropriate period. The carrying value of the goodwill and other intangible assets related to the Palm acquisition was approximately $1.2 billion as of July 31, 2011.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document.

OVERVIEW

        We are a leading global provider of products, technologies, software, solutions and services to individual consumers, small- and medium-sized businesses, and large enterprises, including customers in the government, health and education sectors. Our offerings span:

        We have seven business segments for financial reporting purposes: Services, Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking ("ESSN"), HP Software, the Personal Systems Group ("PSG"), the Imaging and Printing Group ("IPG"), HP Financial Services ("HPFS"), and Corporate Investments.

        Our strategy and operations are currently focused on the following initiatives:

        We are positioning our businesses to take advantage of important trends in the markets for our products and services, including the emergence of cloud computing as a complement to, and in some cases a replacement for, on-premise, proprietary computing resources. Our primary areas of strategic focus are cloud computing, solutions and software, while we continue to expand and leverage our strong existing technologies, including printing hardware, software and services. We are also exploring strategic alternatives for our PC business, with a preference for a separation of our PC business into a separate company through a spin-off or other transaction. Our converged infrastructure products integrate storage, networking, servers and management software and our core data center capabilities form the backbone of a set of cloud offerings that will help customers transition their computing environments from a traditional structure to a hybrid environment and, in many cases, ultimately to a cloud-based environment. In addition, our enterprise services offerings give us a platform to be more solution-oriented and a better strategic partner with our customers, provide opportunities to drive usage of HP products and solutions, and give us the opportunity to implement and manage all the technologies upon which our customers rely. We are also aligning our printing business to capitalize on key market trends such as the shift from analog to digital printing and the growth in printable content by developing innovative products, including ePrint solutions and web-connected printers, which enable web and mobile printing, expanding our presence in high-usage annuity businesses including graphics and retail publishing printing, and growing our managed print services business.

56


        We are investing for growth by strengthening our position in our core markets and accelerating growth in adjacent markets in anticipation of market trends, such as cloud computing, unstructured data, data center consolidation and automation, digitization, analytics and IT security. In addition, in May 2011, we announced that we are going to make changes to our services business, including accelerating portfolio investments in higher value services, enhancing our sales and delivery capabilities, and better aligning our services strategy with HP's overall strategy to better enable us to meet the needs of our customers. We are also creating innovative new products and developing new channels to connect with our customers. In addition, we have been making focused investments in innovation to strengthen our portfolio of products and services that we can offer to our customers, both through organic investments as well as through acquisitions, including our recently announced offer to acquire all of the issued and to be issued share capital of Autonomy Corporation plc ("Autonomy"). Once completed, the addition of Autonomy is expected to accelerate HP's offerings in cloud-based solutions and software that address the changing needs of businesses and support the IPG enterprise strategy to continue its growth in document and content management. These investments will allow us to expand in higher margin and higher growth industry segments and further strengthen our portfolio of hardware, software and services.

        We now offer one of the IT industry's broadest portfolios of products and services, and we leverage that portfolio to our strategic advantage. For example, we are able to provide servers, storage and networking products packaged with services that can be delivered to customers in the manner of their choosing, be it in-house, outsourced as a service via the Internet or via a hybrid environment. Our portfolio of management software completes the package by allowing our customers to manage their IT operations in an efficient and cost-effective manner. In addition, we are working to optimize our supply chain by eliminating complexity, reducing fixed costs, and leveraging our scale to ensure the availability of components at favorable prices even during shortages. We are also expanding our use of industry standard components in our enterprise products to further leverage our scale.

        We are continuing to work to optimize operational excellence across the company. Operational excellence remains critical to the success of HP, and we are implementing effectiveness, productivity and quality initiatives throughout the company. For example, we are continuing to execute our ongoing initiatives to transform our supply chain and leverage our corporate infrastructure and to maximize the efficiency of our research and development efforts. We are also continuing to execute on our multi-year program to consolidate real estate locations worldwide to fewer core sites in order to optimize our IT spending and real estate costs. In addition, we are continuing to implement the restructuring plan announced in June 2010 relating to our enterprise services business. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 for further discussion of this restructuring plan and the associated restructuring charges.
