NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in Millions Except Per Share Amounts)
(Unaudited)

1. Background and Basis of Presentation

Background

      Agere Systems Inc. (the “Company” or “Agere”) is a provider of advanced integrated circuit solutions for applications such as high-density storage, multi-service networking, wireless data and personal computer connectivity. These solutions form the building blocks for a broad range of communications and computing applications. Integrated circuits are made using semiconductor wafers imprinted with a network of electronic components. They are designed to perform various functions such as processing electronic signals, controlling electronic system functions and processing and storing data. Business operations are divided into two market-focused groups, Client Systems and Infrastructure Systems.

      On December 31, 2003, the Company acquired TeraBlaze, Inc., a developer of Gigabit Ethernet switching solutions. See Note 5 “Acquisition of TeraBlaze, Inc.” for more information.

      In fiscal 2003, the Company exited its optoelectronic components business. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect this business as discontinued operations. See Note 6 “Discontinued Operations.”

Interim Financial Information

      These condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial statements and do not include all annual disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. The condensed financial information as of June 30, 2004 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year 2004 or any other future periods.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

      See Item 8—“Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, for additional significant accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition

      Revenue is derived from sales of products and licensing of intellectual property. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered and title and risk of loss has transferred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Utilizing these criteria, product revenue is generally recognized upon delivery of the product at the end-customer's location when the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer. Revenue is deferred from sales to distributors until the product is ultimately sold to the end-customer. Sales revenue is not reduced to reflect estimated returns because the Company's sales arrangements do not grant end-customers a right of return. Products are pre-certified prior to shipment and are not subject to post shipment customer acceptance. There are no post shipment obligations such as installation or training. Accordingly, deferral of revenue is not required for either customer acceptance or post shipment obligations. Revenue from licensing intellectual property is recognized over a period not longer than the license term when the Company has future obligations

(Unaudited)

under the agreement. If the Company does not have future obligations under the agreement, licensing revenue is recognized when collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

Stock Compensation Plans

      The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”) and related interpretations in accounting for its plans, as permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), as amended by SFAS No.
