`In April 2009, the FASB amended the existing guidance on determining whether an impairment for investments in debt
`securities is other-than-temporary. The new guidance was effective for the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2009 and
`resulted in a net after-tax increase to retained earnings and a corresponding decrease to accumulated other

`
`The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in marketable securities at September 27, 2009 and September 28,
`2008 were caused primarily by a prolonged disruption in global financial markets that included a deterioration of confidence
`and a severe decline in the availability of capital and demand for debt and equity securities. The result has been depressed
`securities values in most types of securities, including investment— and non-investment—grade debt obligations, mortgage- and
`asset-backed securities, equity securities, equity mutual and exchanged-traded funds and debt mutual funds. At
`September 27, 2009, the Company concluded that the unrealized losses were temporary. Further, for equity securities, equity
`mutual and exchange-traded funds and debt mutual funds with unrealized losses, the Company has the ability and the intent
`to hold such securities until they recover, which is expected to be within a reasonable period of time. For debt securities with
`unrealized losses, the Company does not have the intent to sell, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be
`required to sell, such securities before recovery or maturity.
`
`The following table shows the credit loss portion of other-than—temporary impairments on debt securities held by the
`Company as of the dates indicated and the corresponding changes in such amounts (in millions):

`
`Depreciation and amortization expense related to property, plant and equipment for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 was
`$428 million, $372 million and $317 million, respectively. The gross book values of property under capital leases included in
`buildings and improvements were $190 million and $140 million at September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008,
`respectively. These capital leases principally related to base station towers and buildings. Amortization of assets recorded
`under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Capital lease additions during fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 were
`$50 million, $51 million and $33 million, respectively.
`
`At September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008, buildings and improvements and leasehold improvements with aggregate
`net book value of $56 million and $63 million, respectively, including accumulated depreciation and amortization of
`$9 million and $6 million, respectively, were leased to third parties or held for lease to third parties. Future minimum rental
`income on facilities leased to others in fiscal 2010 to 2014 is expected to be $8 million, $6 million, $6 million, $3 million and
`$1 million, respectively, and zero thereafter.
`
`Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company’s reportable segment assets do not include goodwill. The Company
`allocates goodwill to its reporting units for annual impairment testing purposes. Goodwill was allocable to reporting units
`included in the Company’s reportable segments at September 27, 2009 as follows: $434 million in Qualcomm CDMA
`Technologies, $675 million in Qualcomm Technology Licensing, $255 million in Qualcomm Wireless & lntemet, and
`$128 million in Qualcomm MEMS Technology (a nonreportable segment included in reconciling items in Note 10). The
`decrease in goodwill from September 28, 2008 to September 27, 2009 was the result of adjustments to acquired deferred tax
`assets and currency translation adjustments, partially offset by a business acquisition.

`Net impairment losses on marketable securities for fiscal 2009 was comprised of total other-than-temporary impairment
`losses of $747 million less $4 million related to the noncredit portion of losses on debt securities recognized in other
`comprehensive income. The net other—than—temporary losses on marketable securities were generally related to depressed
`securities values caused by the major disruption in U.S. and foreign credit and financial markets.

`The Company has not recorded a deferred tax liability of approximately $3.0 billion related to the United States federal
`and state income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on approximately $8.6 billion of undistributed earnings of certain non-
`United States subsidiaries indefinitely invested outside the United States. Should the Company decide to repatriate the
`foreign earnings, the Company would have to adjust the income tax provision in the period management determined that the
`earnings will no longer be indefinitely invested outside the United States.
`
`The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions.
`The tax provision was reduced by $155 million during fiscal 2009 to adjust the Company’s prior year estimates of uncertain
`tax positions as a result of various federal, state and foreign tax audits. The Company is no longer subject to United States
`federal examinations by taxing authorities for years prior to fiscal 2008. The U.S. income tax return for fiscal 2008 is being
`examined by the IRS, which is expected to be completed no later than May 2010. The Company is participating in the IRS
`Compliance Assurance Program, whereby the IRS and the Company endeavor to agree on the treatment of all issues in the
`fiscal 2009 tax return prior to the return being filed. The Company is subject to examination by the California Franchise Tax
`Board for fiscal years after 2002 and is currently under examination for fiscal 2003, 2004 and 2005. The Company is also
`subject to income taxes in other taxing jurisdictions in the United States and around the world, many of which are open to tax
`examinations for periods after fiscal 2002.

`
`During fiscal 2007, the lntemal Revenue Service completed audits of the Company’s tax returns for fiscal 2003 and 2004,
`resulting in adjustments to the Company’s net operating loss and credit carryover amounts for those years. The tax provision
`was reduced by $331 million during fiscal 2007 to reflect the known and expected impacts of the audits on the reviewed and
`open tax years.
`
`The Company had deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as follows (in millions):

`does not expect its federal net operating loss carryforwards and its state income tax credits to expire unused.
`
`The Company believes, more likely than not, that it will have sufficient taxable income afier stock option related
`deductions to utilize the majority of its deferred tax assets. As of September 27, 2009, the Company has provided a valuation
`allowance on foreign and state net operating losses and net capital losses of $17 million and $55 million, respectively, of
`which $278 million was recorded as an increase in other comprehensive income in fiscal 2009. The valuation allowances
`reflect the uncertainty surrounding the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain foreign and
`state tax jurisdictions to utilize its net operating losses and the Company’s ability to generate sufficient capital gains to utilize
`all capital losses.

`NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
`
`Unrecognized tax benefits at September 27, 2009 include $44 million for tax positions that, if recognized, would impact
`the effective tax rate. The reduction in unrecognized tax benefits in fiscal 2009 related primarily to the impacts of various
`federal, state and foreign tax audits. Due to the anticipated resolution of additional tax audits during fiscal 2010, it is likely
`that the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits will decrease within the next twelve months and result in adjustments to the
`Company’s deferred tax assets, income taxes payable and income tax provision. Interest expense related to uncertain tax
`positions was negligible in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007. The amount of accrued interest and penalties was negligible at
`September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008.
`
`Cash amounts paid for income taxes, net of refunds received, were $516 million, $360 million and $233 million for fiscal
`2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The income taxes paid are primarily related to foreign withholding taxes.
`
`On October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 was enacted. The bill extends the research and
`development tax credit for calendar year 2008 and 2009 and increases the Alternative Simplified Credit rate from 12% to
`14% in calendar 2009. The Company recorded an additional research and development tax credit related to fiscal 2008 of
`approximately $38 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the period in which the research and development tax credit
`extension was enacted.
`
`Note 7. Capital Stock
`
`Preferred Stock. The Company has 8,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized for issuance in one or more series, at a
`par value of $0.000] per share. In conjunction with the distribution of preferred share purchase rights, 4,000,000 shares of
`preferred stock are designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, and such shares are reserved for issuance
`upon exercise of the preferred share purchase rights. At September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008, no shares of preferred
`stock were outstanding.
`
`Preferred Share Purchase Rights Agreement. The Company has a Preferred Share Purchase Rights Agreement (Rights
`Agreement) to protect stockholders’ interests in the event of a proposed takeover of the Company. Under the original Rights
`Agreement, adopted on September 26, 1995, the Company declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a
`Right) for each share of the Company’s common stock outstanding. Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, as amended and
`restated on December 7, 2006, each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company a one one-thousandth
`share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, $0.000] par value per share, subject to adjustment for subsequent
`stock splits, at a purchase price of $180. The Rights are exercisable only if a person or group (an Acquiring Person) acquires
`beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock without approval of the Board
`of Directors. Upon exercise, holders, other than an Acquiring Person, will have the right, subject to termination, to receive
`the Company’s common stock or other securities, cash or other assets having a market value, as defined, equal to twice such
`purchase price. The Rights, which expire on September 25, 2015, are redeemable in whole, but not in part, at the Company’s
`option prior to the time such Rights are triggered for a price of $0.001 per Right.
`
`Stock Repurchase Program. On March 11, 2008, the Company announced that it had been authorized to repurchase up to
`$2.0 billion of the Company’s common stock. The stock repurchase program has no expiration date. When stock is
`repurchased and retired, the amount paid in excess of par value is recorded to paid-in capital. During fiscal 2009, 2008 and
`2007, the Company repurchased and retired 8,920,000, 42,616,000 and 37,263,000 shares of common stock, respectively, for
`$284 million, $1.7 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, before commissions and excluding $14 million and $9 million of
`premiums received related to put options that were exercised in fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. At September 27, 2009,
`approximately $1.7 billion remained authorized for repurchase under the Company’s stock repurchase program.-
`
`In connection with the Company’s stock repurchase program, the Company sold put options on its own stock during fiscal
`2007. At September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008, no put options remained outstanding. During fiscal 2008, the
`Company recognized gains of $6 million in investment income due to decreases in the fair values of put options, including
`premiums received of $14 million. During fiscal 2007, the Company recognized $3 million in investment losses due to net
`increases in the fair values of put options, net of premiums received of $17 million.
`
`Dividends. The Company announced increases in its quarterly dividend per share of common stock from $0.12 to $0.14
`on March 13, 2007, from $0.14 to $0.16 on March 11, 2008, and from $0.16 to $0.17 on March 3, 2009. Cash dividends
`announced in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 were as follows (in millions, except per share data):

`On October 2, 2009, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.17 per share on the Company’s common stock,
`payable on December 23, 2009 to stockholders of record as of November 25, 2009, which will be reflected in the
`consolidated financial statements in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
`
`Note 8. Employee Benefit Plans
`
`Employee Savings and Retirement Plan. The Company has a 401(k) plan that allows eligible employees to contribute up
`to 100% of their eligible compensation, subject to annual limits. The Company matches a portion of the employee
`contributions and may, at its discretion, make additional contributions based upon earnings. The Company’s contribution 4
`expense for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $46 million, $45 million and $39 million, respectively.
`
`Equity Compensation Plans. The Board of Directors may grant options to selected employees, directors and consultants
`to the Company to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price not less than the fair market value of the stock
`at the date of grant. The 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan) was adopted during the second quarter of fiscal
`2006 and replaced the 2001 Stock Option Plan and the 2001 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan and their
`predecessor plans (the Prior Plans). The 2006 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and nonstatutory stock options as well
`as stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units and shares and other stock-based
`awards and is the source of shares issued under the Executive Retirement Matching Contribution Plan (ERMCP). The share‘
`reserve under the 2006 Plan was 405,284,000 at September 27, 2009. Shares subject to any outstanding option under a Prior
`Plan that is terminated or cancelled (but not an option under a Prior Plan that expires) following the date that the 2006 Plan
`was approved by stockholders, and shares that are subject to an award under the ERMCP and are returned to the Company
`because they fail to vest, will again become available for grant under the 2006 Plan. The Board of Directors of the Company
`may amend or terminate the 2006 Plan at any time. Certain amendments, including an increase in the share reserve, require
`stockholder approval. Generally, options and restricted stock units outstanding vest over periods not exceeding five years.
`Options are exercisable for up to ten years from the grant date.
`
`During fiscal 2008, the Company assumed a total of approximately 1,462,000 outstanding stock options under various
`stock-based incentive plans that were assumed (the Assumed Plans) as a result of acquisitions. The Assumed Plans were
`suspended on the dates of acquisition, and no additional shares may be granted under those plans. The Assumed Plans
`provided for the grant of both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. Generally, options outstanding vest
`over periods not exceeding five years and are exercisable for up to ten years from the grant date.

`NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
`
`The Company’s determination of the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model
`is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. At
`September 27, 2009, total unrecognized estimated compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted prior to that
`date was $1.4 billion, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.3 years. The total intrinsic
`value of stock options exercised during fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $272 million, $1.3 billion and $708 million,
`respectively. The Company recorded cash received from the exercise of stock options of $534 million, $1.] billion and
`$479 million and related tax benefits of $106 million, $492 million and $272 million during fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007,
`respectively. Upon option exercise, the Company issues new shares of stock.
`
`During fiscal 2008, the Company granted 55,000 restricted stock units to certain employees, all of which remain unvested
`at September 27, 2009. The weighted-average fair value per share of the restricted stock units awarded in fiscal 2008 was
`$54.42 calculated based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant of each award. At
`September 27, 2009, the total unrecognized estimated compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock units granted
`prior to that date was negligible.
`
`Employee Stock Purchase Plans. The Company has one employee stock purchase plan for eligible employees to purchase
`shares of common stock at 85% of the lower of the fair market value on the first or the last day of each six-month offering
`period. Employees may authorize the Company to withhold up to 15% of their compensation during any offering period,
`subject to certain limitations. In fiscal 2008, the Company amended the employee stock purchase plan to include a non-423
`(b) plan. The employee stock purchase plan authorizes up to approximately 24,709,000 shares to be granted. During fiscal
`2009, 2008 and 2007, approximately 3,654,000, 2,951,000 and 2,650,000 shares, respectively, were issued under the plans at
`an average price of $29.72, $35.96 and $32.08 per share, respectively. At September 27, 2009, approximately 3,971,000
`shares were reserved for future issuance.
`
`At September 27, 2009, total unrecognized estimated compensation cost related to non-vested purchase rights granted
`prior to that date was $12 million. The Company recorded cash received from the exercise of purchase rights of $109 million,
`$106 million and $85 million during fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
`
`Executive Retirement Plans. The Company has voluntary retirement plans that allow eligible executives to defer up to
`100% of their income on a pre-tax basis. On a quarterly basis, the Company matches up to 10% of the participants’ deferral
`in Company common stock under the ERMCP based on the then-current market price, to be distributed to the participant
`upon eligible retirement. The income deferred and the Company match held in trust are unsecured and subject to the claims
`of general creditors of the Company. Company contributions vest based on certain minimum participation or service
`requirements and are fully vested at age 65. Participants who terminate employment forfeit their unvested shares. During
`fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, approximately 153,000, 96,000 and 126,000 shares, respectively, were allocated under the plans,
`and the Company recorded $6 million, $6 million and $5 million in compensation expense, respectively, related to its net
`matching contributions to the plans.

`Litigation. European Commission Complaint: On October 28, 2005, it was reported that six companies (Broadcom,
`Nokia, Texas Instruments, NEC, Panasonic and Ericsson) filed complaints with the European Commission, alleging that the
