Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The information in this Current Report is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On August 8, 2003 Broadcom Corporation issued a press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 announcing the settlement of all outstanding litigation between the company and Intel Corporation, as well as all litigation involving the companies’ affiliates. In connection with the settlement Broadcom will pay Intel $60.0 million in cash in two equal installments in the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2003. Although the settlement was reached in August, Broadcom recorded a one-time charge for the payment at June 30, 2003 as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (“SFAS 5”). A copy of Broadcom’s financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003 that reflects this charge is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. This charge was not reflected in the earnings press release issued on July 22, 2003 with respect to Broadcom’s financial results for the second quarter of 2003, as, under SFAS 5, it was not required to be recorded at that time.
