Item 2.        Subject Company Information.

        Section (b) of Item 2 of the Schedule TO is amended and supplemented with the following information:

        (b) Based on information about Next Level's capitalization recently provided to Motorola by Next Level's financial advisors, approximately 87,198,384 Shares were issued and outstanding as of February 28, 2003. Of those Shares, 64,103,724 Shares are owned by General Instrument, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Motorola.

        In addition, according to the information provided to Motorola, there were outstanding warrants and stock options for the purchase of approximately 70,090,205 Shares that are exercisable at $1.04 or less, as of December 31, 2002. Those Shares reserved in respect of warrants, stock options and convertible preferred shares consist of approximately 67,027,685 Shares reserved in respect of warrants held by Motorola, and approximately 3,062,520 Shares reserved in respect of stock options held by persons other than Motorola or its subsidiaries.

        Thus, based on the foregoing, Motorola is seeking to acquire approximately 26,157,180 Shares in the Offer. Of those 26,157,180 Shares, approximately 25,808,909 Shares are held by persons other than (a) Motorola, its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers and directors, (b) the officers of Next Level, and (c) Eugene Delaney and Gray Benoist, who are members of Next Level's board of directors designated by Motorola.

Item 4.        Terms of the Transaction.

        Item 4 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:

        Motorola hereby waives the 90% Condition, which required that Motorola own at least 90% of the issued and outstanding Shares as a result of the Offer.

        In addition, according to information about Next Level's capitalization recently provided to Motorola by Next Level's financial advisors (as described in Item 2 above), only 12,904,456 Shares need to be tendered in order to satisfy the Minimum Tender Condition. This number is 1,545,003

2

less than the number of Shares that Motorola estimated in the Offer to Purchase would be required to satisfy the Minimum Tender Condition.

        Item 5.        Past Contacts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements.

        (c)  On March 5 and 6, 2003, Don McLellan, Corporate Vice President of Motorola engaged in several discussions regarding the terms of the Offer with a representative of the independent committee of the Next Level board of directors. The parties to these discussions were unable to reach agreement on any issue concerning the Offer. During these discussions, the representative of the independent committee indicated that Next Level may propose financing transactions at valuations below Motorola's offer of $1.04 per share. Next Level also announced last week that some or all of the third party financing alternatives would depend on Motorola's willingness to surrender rights which were granted to Motorola to induce Motorola to invest in Next Level over the past two years and which represent fundamental economic elements of these investments.

        Also on March 5 and 6, 2003, a representative of JPMorgan discussed the status of the Offer with a representative of Morgan Stanley.
