(DEBTORS-IN-POSSESSION)

NOTES TO MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT No. 13 (UNAUDITED)

(In millions of U.S. dollars)

1. Reservation of Rights:

Nothing contained in this Monthly Operating Report shall constitute a waiver of any of the Debtors’ rights or an admission with respect to their Chapter 11 Proceedings (as defined herein), including, but not limited to, matters involving objections to claims, substantive consolidation, equitable subordination, defenses, ultimate allocation of proceeds from sales among debtor estates, characterization or re-characterization of contracts, assumption or rejection of contracts under the provisions of chapter 3 of title 11 of the United States Code (“Bankruptcy Code”) and/or causes of action under the provisions of chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other relevant applicable laws to recover assets or avoid transfers.

2. Background and Organization:

Nortel Networks Corporation (“NNC”) and its subsidiaries (collectively “Nortel”), including the U.S. Debtors (as defined below) is a global supplier of end-to-end networking products and solutions serving both service providers and enterprise customers. Nortel’s technologies span access and core networks and support multimedia and business-critical applications. Nortel’s networking solutions consist of hardware, software and services. Nortel designs, develops, engineers, markets, sells, licenses, installs, services and supports these networking solutions worldwide.

Creditor Protection Proceedings—On January 14, 2009 (“Petition Date”), Nortel Networks Inc. (“NNI”), Nortel Networks Capital Corporation (“NNCC”) and certain other of Nortel’s U.S. subsidiaries, initiated Creditor Protection Proceedings in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (“U.S. Court”) under the Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11 Proceedings”), several of our Canadian affiliates (“Canadian Debtors”), including our ultimate parent company, NNC, initiated Creditor Protection Proceedings in Canada at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (“Canadian Court”) under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”), and several of our affiliates in Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) (“EMEA Debtors”) initiated Creditor Protection Proceedings in the United Kingdom under the Insolvency Act 1986 and subsequently, in Israel, followed by secondary proceedings in France. On July 14, 2009, Nortel Networks (CALA) Inc. (“NNCI”), an affiliate of NNI, initiated Chapter 11 Proceedings. On July 17, 2009, the U.S. Court entered an order that provided for the joint administration of NNCI’s case with the pre-existing cases of the other U.S. Debtors. As a result, NNCI is included as a Debtor in the financial statements herein. Collectively, all entities under the Creditor Protection Proceedings are referred to as the “Debtors”. Those entities operating in Chapter 11 Proceedings are referred to as the “Debtors in Possession” or the “U.S. Debtors.” During the Creditor Protection Proceedings, the businesses of the Debtors continue to operate under the jurisdictions and orders of the applicable courts and in accordance with applicable legislation.

As of February 28, 2010, the U.S. Debtors consisted of the following entities:

Under the Bankruptcy Code, the U.S. Debtors may assume, assume and assign, or reject certain executory contracts including unexpired leases, subject to the approval of the U.S. Court and certain other conditions.

The accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial statements do not include the effects of all current or future claims relating to the Creditor Protection Proceedings. Certain claims filed may have priority over those of the U.S. Debtors’ unsecured creditors. The Debtors are reviewing all claims filed and have commenced the claims reconciliation process. Differences between claim amounts determined by the Debtors and claim amounts filed by creditors will be investigated and resolved pursuant to a claims resolution process approved by the relevant court or, if necessary, the relevant court will make a final determination as to the amount, nature and validity of claims. Certain claims that have been filed may be duplicative (particularly given the multiple jurisdictions involved in the Creditor Protection Proceedings), based on contingencies that have not occurred, or may be otherwise overstated, and

 

5


would therefore be subject to revision or disallowance. The settlement of claims cannot be finalized until the relevant creditors and courts approve a plan. In light of the number of creditors of the Debtors, the claims resolution process may take considerable time to complete. See note 7 for additional information about claims.

3. Basis of Presentation:

The financial statements contained herein were not intended to reconcile to any financial statements otherwise prepared or distributed by the Debtors or any of the Debtors’ affiliates. Significant efforts have been put forth to attribute the assets and liabilities to the proper legal entity. However, because the Debtors’ accounting systems, policies, and practices were developed with a view to producing consolidated reporting, rather than by legal entity, it is possible that not all assets or liabilities have been recorded at the correct legal entity. Accordingly, the Debtors reserve all rights to supplement or amend any financial statements contained in this Monthly Operating Report.

4. Significant Accounting Policies:

Unless otherwise noted herein, the U.S. Debtors follow the significant accounting policies of NNC as discussed in NNC’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (“2009 Form 10-K”) that was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

(a) Condensed Combined Debtors-In-Possession Financial Statements

The financial statements contained herein represent the unaudited condensed combined financial statements for the U.S Debtors only. The U.S. Debtors’ non-Debtor subsidiaries are treated as non-consolidated subsidiaries in these financial statements and as such their net loss is included as “Equity in net earnings (loss) from non-Debtor subsidiaries—net of tax” in the statement of operations and their net assets are included as “Investments in non-Debtor subsidiaries” in the balance sheet. The U.S. Debtors’ financial statements contained herein have been prepared in accordance with the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852 Reorganizations (“ASC 852”).

The unaudited condensed combined financial statements have been derived from the books and records of the U.S. Debtors. The presentation combines the U.S. Debtors into three Reporting Groups consistent with the companies’ ownership structure and activities as follows:

 

 

NNI Reporting Group: Nortel Networks Inc. and its U.S. Debtor subsidiaries Nortel Networks Capital Corporation, Nortel Networks Cable Solutions Inc., Nortel Networks International, Inc., Nortel Networks Optical Components Inc., Nortel Networks HPOCS Inc., Nortel Networks (CALA) Inc., Northern Telecom International Inc. and Qtera Corporation;

 

 

AltSystems Reporting Group: Nortel AltSystems, Inc. and Nortel AltSystems International, Inc.; and

 

 

Other Reporting Group: Architel Systems (U.S.) Corporation, CoreTek, Inc., Nortel Networks Applications Management Solutions, Inc., Sonoma Systems and Xros Inc.

The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period, and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court and the United States Trustee. The information presented herein has not been subject to all procedures that would typically be applied to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Upon the application of such procedures (such as tests of asset impairment), the U.S. Debtors believe that the financial information could be subject to changes, and these changes could be material. The information furnished in this Monthly Operating Report includes normal recurring adjustments, but does not include all of the adjustments that would typically be made for interim financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As of February 28, 2010, certain pre-petition trade accounts payable and debt balances are subject to further review and possible reclassification. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, the Debtors caution readers not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in this Monthly Operating Report. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements of NNC and notes thereto included in NNC’s 2009 Form 10-K.

The results of operation herein are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected from any other period or for the full year and may not necessarily reflect the combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows of U.S. Debtors in the future.

The condensed combined financial statements filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court are subject to change. The U.S. Debtors may, at a future date, amend this Monthly Operating Report for updated financial information.

 

6


(b) Intercompany transactions

Intercompany transactions among the NNI Reporting Group and the AltSystems Reporting Group have been eliminated in the condensed combined financial statements. Intercompany transactions within the entities in the Other Reporting Group have not been eliminated as they are affiliates of common ownership under NNC rather than subsidiaries of one another. Intercompany transactions involving any non-U.S. Debtors have not been eliminated in the financial statements and are presented as intercompany receivables, loans, and payables.

(c) Use of estimates

The U.S. Debtors make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed combined financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters such as revenue recognition and accruals for losses on contracts, allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory provisions and outsourced manufacturing related obligations, product warranties, estimated useful lives of intangible assets and plant and equipment, asset valuations, impairment and recoverability assessments, employee benefits including pensions, taxes and related valuation allowances and provisions, restructuring and other provisions, contingencies and pre-petition liabilities.

Proceeds received from divestitures to date that are being held in escrow are currently reported, as set for in the 2009 Form 10-K, in Nortel Networks Limited (“NNL”) solely for financial reporting purposes. The ultimate determination of the final allocation of such proceeds among the various Nortel entities has not yet occurred and may be materially different from the NNL classification and related amounts shown in the financial statements included in the 2009 Form 10-K. The Interim Funding and Settlement Agreement dated June 9, 2009 (“IFSA”) (as discussed in note 7) and the escrow agreements for sales divestiture proceeds entered into by NNL, NNI and other Nortel legal entities provide for the processes for determining the final allocation of divestiture proceeds among such entities, either through joint agreement or, failing such agreement, other dispute resolution proceeding. Adjustments to the NNL classification and any related amounts arising from the ultimate outcome of the allocation agreement or other dispute resolution proceeding noted above will be recognized when finalized. The NNL classification and related amounts shown in the financial statements included in the 2009 Form 10-K are not determinative of, and have not been accepted by any debtor estate, any party in interest in the Creditor Protection Proceedings or any court overseeing such proceedings, for purposes of deciding, the final allocation of divestiture proceeds.

5. Debt in Default:

Upon filing for creditor protection certain of the U.S. Debtors (and certain of their non-U.S. Debtor affiliates) became in default under substantially all of their pre-petition debt obligations. Filing for creditor protection automatically stays most actions against the Debtors and therefore substantially all pre-petition debt obligations are subject to settlement under the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

The following borrowings represent the debt agreements which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by NNI and are in default:

On May 28, 2008, NNL, NNI’s direct parent company, completed the offering of $675 Fixed Rate Notes due July 2016. The 2016 Fixed Rate Notes issued May 2008 have a stated interest rate per annum of 10.75% and were issued as additional notes under an existing indenture dated July 5, 2006 (“2006 Indenture”), and are part of the same series as NNL’s outstanding $450 Senior Notes due July 2016 that were issued on July 5, 2006 under the 2006 Indenture. The 2016 Fixed Rate Notes issued May 2008 and the 2016 Fixed Rate Notes issued July 2006 have the same ranking, guarantee structure, interest rate, maturity date and other terms and are treated as a single class of securities under the indenture and holders vote together as one class.

On March 28, 2007, NNC completed an offering of $1,150 of unsecured convertible senior notes (“Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes consist of $575 principal amount of senior convertible notes due 2012 (“2012 Notes”) and $575 of senior convertible notes due 2014 (“2014 Notes”). The 2012 Notes have a stated interest rate per annum of 1.75% and the 2014 Notes have a stated interest rate per annum of 2.125%. The 2012 Notes and 2014 Notes are each convertible into NNC common shares at any time based on an initial conversion rate of 31.25 NNC common shares per $1,000.00 principal amount of Convertible Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of $32.00 per common share).

On July 5, 2006, under the 2006 Indenture, NNL completed an offering of $2,000 senior notes (“July 2006 Notes”). The July 2006 Notes consist of the $450 2016 Fixed Rate Notes issued July 2006, $550 of senior fixed rate notes due 2013 (“2013 Fixed Rate Notes”) and $1,000 of floating rate senior notes due 2011 (“2011 Floating Rate Notes”). The 2016 Fixed Rate Notes issued July 2006 have a stated interest rate per annum of 10.75%, the 2013 Fixed Rate Notes have a stated interest rate per annum of 10.125%, and the 2011 Floating Rate Notes have a stated interest rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the LIBOR plus 4.25%.

As a guarantor, NNI is an obligor for the defaulted debt obligations (and accrued interest payable) of $3,935. As a result, an accrual of $3,935 has been made in the U.S. Debtors financial statements for NNI’s guarantee of the NNC and NNL outstanding long-term debt arrangements. Although some guarantee exposures are redundant to liabilities recorded elsewhere in the Debtors’ financial statements, NNI has recorded this accrual in accordance with ASC 852. The guarantor amount has been recorded as a liability subject to compromise and reorganization expenses in the NNI financial statement column. To the extent that information available in the future indicates a difference from the recognized amounts, the provision will be adjusted.

On June 17, 1996, NNCC, a wholly owned subsidiary of NNI, completed the offering of $150 Fixed Rate Notes due June 2026. The 2026 Fixed Rate Notes have a stated interest rate per annum of 7.875%. The 2026 Fixed Rate Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by NNL.

In addition, NNI has guaranteed NNL’s obligations under the EDC Support Facility. The EDC Support Facility provides for the issuance by EDC of support in the form of guarantee bonds or guarantee type documents issued to financial institutions that issue letters of credit or guarantee, performance or surety bonds, or other instruments in support of Nortel’s contract performance. NNI has agreed to indemnify EDC and reimburse it for any amounts that EDC is required to pay to such financial institutions pursuant to its support.

6. Reorganization Items:

ASC 852 requires items of revenue and expense directly attributed to the reorganization such as professional fees directly related to the U.S. Debtors’ Chapter 11 Proceedings, realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses resulting from such proceedings to be separately accumulated and disclosed in the statement of operations.

The following table sets forth the U.S. Debtors’ reorganization items for the period from February 1, 2010 through February 28, 2010:

7. Liabilities Subject to Compromise:

As a result of the Chapter 11 Proceedings, pre-petition liabilities may be subject to compromise or other treatment under the U.S. Debtors’ Chapter 11 Proceedings. Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment of pre-petition liabilities are stayed. Although pre-petition claims are generally stayed, under the Chapter 11 Proceedings, the U.S. Debtors are permitted to undertake certain actions designed to stabilize the U.S. Debtors’ operations including, among other things, payment of employee wages and benefits, maintenance of Nortel’s cash management system, satisfaction of customer obligations, payments to suppliers for goods and services received after the Petition Date and retention of professionals.

The U.S. Debtors have been paying and intend to continue to pay undisputed post-petition obligations in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the U.S. Debtors may reject pre-petition executory contracts and unexpired leases with respect to the U.S. Debtors’ operations, with the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Damages resulting from rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases are treated as pre-petition general unsecured claims and will be classified as liabilities subject to compromise. Any differences between claim amounts listed by the U.S. Debtors in their Schedules of Assets and Liabilities (as may be amended) and claims filed by creditors will be investigated and, if necessary, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court will make the final determination as to the amount, nature and validity of claims. The determination of how liabilities will ultimately be settled and treated cannot be made until the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approves a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. Accordingly, the ultimate amount of such liabilities is not determinable at this time.

On August 4, 2009, the U.S. Court approved the establishment of a claims process in the U.S. for claims that arose prior to the Petition Date. Under this claims process, proof of claims, except in relation to NNCI, had to be received by the U.S. Claims Agent, Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC (“Epiq”), by no later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on September 30, 2009 (subject to certain exceptions, including the establishment of supplemental bar dates, as provided in the order establishing the claims bar date). For claims in relation to NNCI, on December 2, 2009, the U.S. Court approved the establishment of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on January 25, 2010 as the deadline for receipt by Epiq of proof of claims against NNCI (subject to certain exceptions, including the establishment of supplemental bar dates, as provided in the order establishing the claims bar date).

ASC 852 requires pre-petition liabilities of the debtor that are subject to compromise to be reported at the claim amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts.

The change in the month was primarily due to a decrease in trade and other accounts payable.

As at February 28, 2010, the U.S. Debtors have received approximately 7,123 claims asserting approximately $16,377 in aggregate outstanding liquidated claims. Some of these claims are unliquidated and are therefore not reflected in the aggregate claim amount above. This amount excludes the value of claims that have been withdrawn, expunged, or disallowed by the U.S. Court as of February 28, 2010. The U.S. Debtors continue to investigate differences between the claim amounts filed by creditors and claim amounts determined by the U.S. Debtors. Certain claims filed may be duplicative (particularly given the multiple jurisdictions involved in the Creditor Protection Proceedings), based on contingencies that have not occurred, or may be otherwise overstated, and would therefore be subject to revision or disallowance. The determination of the U.S. Debtors’ liabilities subject to compromise considers these factors and these liabilities are subject to change as a result of the ongoing investigation of filed proofs of claim by the U.S. Debtors.

Although the U.S. Debtors have and may continue to object to various court filings made throughout the Creditor Protection Proceedings, as at February 28, 2010, 978 claims, including the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) claim, had been objected to by the U.S. Debtors; however, as discussed in note 11, the IRS claim has been withdrawn. As at February 28, 2010, an objection to one claim was withdrawn and the courts entered orders disallowing 488 claims. Subsequent to February 28, 2010, the court entered orders disallowing an additional 488 of the claims that had been objected to as of February 28, 2010 and partially vacated an order as it relates to the disallowance of 67 claims. The net effect of these actions will increase the amount of asserted claims noted above by $35. Although the U.S. Court has established bar dates, subject to exceptions, by which certain proofs of claim against the relevant U.S. Debtors were required to be filed if the claimants were to receive any distribution under the Creditor Protection Proceedings, certain further claims are and may be permitted. In addition, the U.S. Debtors anticipate that additional proofs of claim will be the subject of future objections as such proofs of claim are reconciled. Accordingly, the ultimate number and amount of allowed claims is not determinable at this time.

 

9


Since the Petition Date, the U.S. Debtors have and may continue to enter into court-approved and other agreements relating to settlement of certain pre-Petition Date claim amounts. As at March 31, 2010, the U.S. Debtors have agreed to net payments and forgiveness of accounts receivables in certain circumstances of approximately $128 in the aggregate relating to certain asserted pre-Petition Date claims and related liabilities, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances and excluding liabilities the U.S. Debtors are required to satisfy pursuant to local legislation and amounts the U.S. Debtors have agreed to pay pursuant to the IFSA and the Final Canadian Funding and Settlement Agreement dated December 23, 2009 (“FCFSA”), each as described in note 11. These agreements may also include the release of other disputed and unliquidated amounts as well as certain post-Petition Date claim amounts.

The amounts currently classified as liabilities subject to compromise may be subject to future adjustments depending on U.S. Court actions, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determinations of the secured status of certain claims, if any, the values of any collateral securing such claims, or other events.

Classification for purposes of this report of any pre-petition liabilities on any basis other than liabilities subject to compromise is not an admission of fact or legal conclusion by the U.S. Debtors as to the manner of classification, treatment, allowance, or payment in the Creditor Protection Proceedings, including in connection with any plan that may be approved by the U.S. Court and that may become effective pursuant an order of the U.S. Court.

8. Post-Petition Accounts Payable:

To the best of the U.S. Debtors’ knowledge, all undisputed post-petition accounts payable have been and are being paid in the ordinary course of the U.S. Debtors’ business.

9. Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale:

As discussed in note 11, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, NNC, NNL, and certain of NNC’s other subsidiaries, including NNI, received court approvals of bidding procedures for the sale of substantially all of the assets of its Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet businesses to Ciena Corp. and the planned sale of substantially all of the assets of its Global System for Mobile communications (“GSM”)/GSM for Railways (“GSM-R”) business to Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (“Ericsson”) and Kapsch CarrierCom AG (“Kapsch”). Also, in January 2010, NNC, NNL, and certain of NNC’s other subsidiaries, including NNI, received court approvals of bidding procedures for the sale of substantially all of the assets of its Carrier VoIP and Application Solutions (“CVAS”) business to GENBAND Inc. (“GENBAND”). As a result, the related Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet, GSM/GSM-R and CVAS assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale as of February 28, 2010. Nortel determined that the fair value less estimated costs to sell exceeded the carrying value of the Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet, GSM/GSM-R and CVAS assets and liabilities and therefore no impairment was recorded on the reclassification of these assets to held for sale.

The related Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet and GSM/GSM-R financial results of operations have not been classified as discontinued operations in these unaudited condensed combined financial statements as they did not meet the definition of a component of an entity as required under U.S. GAAP. Nortel is continuing to assess whether the related CVAS financial results of operations will be classified as discontinued operations.

Assets and liabilities of $208 and $252, respectively, related to the U.S. Debtors have been classified as held for sale as of February 28, 2010.

10. Discontinued Operations:

As discussed in note 11, on December 18, 2009 NNC, NNL, and certain of NNC’s other subsidiaries, including NNI and Nortel Networks UK Limited (“NNUK”), completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Enterprise Solutions (“ES”) business globally as well as the shares of Nortel Government Solutions Incorporated (“NGS”) and DiamondWare, Ltd. to Avaya Inc. (“Avaya”) for $900 in cash, with an additional pool of $15 reserved for an employee retention program, subject to certain purchase price adjustments.

Nortel has agreed to undertake certain activities to assist Avaya with the transition of the business from Nortel’s infrastructure to that of Avaya. As a result of this agreement, Nortel expects to generate certain direct and indirect cash flows that are associated with the disposed component for a period of time that is not currently expected to exceed one year. The operations and cash flows of the ES business meet the definition of a component as prescribed by FASB ASC 360-10-35 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“ASC 360-10-35”). A component of an entity that is being disposed of should be shown as discontinued operations where the cash flows associated with the component will be eliminated and the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement, as defined in the applicable accounting guidance, with the component post-disposition. Nortel has evaluated the nature and significance of these cash flows arising from transition services Nortel expects to provide to Avaya and has determined that they do not preclude the recognition and presentation of this business component as discontinued operations for the period presented. Nortel does not expect to have any significant continuing involvement with the ES business after the disposition.

The following table summarizes certain financial information of the ES business, which includes DiamondWare, Ltd. and NGS, for the period from January 31, 2010 through February 28, 2010:

Certain assets and liabilities related to the ES business were not transferred to Avaya and continue to be classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations. These assets and liabilities are expected to be reduced as the business dispositions and the Creditor Protection Proceedings progress. The remaining assets and liabilities related to the operations of the ES business as at February 28, 2010 are as follows:

Nortel is continuing to assess whether the related CVAS financial results of operations will be classified as discontinued operations.

11. Case Developments:

Chapter 11 Proceedings Developments

As required under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, on January 22, 2009, the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors, which currently includes The Bank of New York Mellon, Flextronics Corporation, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York (“U.S. Creditors’ Committee”). The U.S. Creditors’ Committee has the right to be heard on all matters that come before the U.S. Court with respect to the U.S. Debtors. In addition, a group purporting to hold substantial amounts of Nortel’s publicly traded debt has organized (“Bondholder Group”). Nortel’s management and the Canadian Monitor have met with the Bondholder Group and its advisors to provide status updates and share information with them that has been shared with other major stakeholders. On December 8, 2009, Nortel announced that NNI had entered into an agreement with John Ray for his appointment as principal officer of each of the U.S. Debtors and to work with Nortel management, the Canadian Monitor, the U.K. Administrators and various retained advisors, in providing oversight of the conduct of the businesses of the U.S. Debtors in relation to various matters in connection with the Chapter 11 Proceedings. This appointment was approved by the U.S. Court on January 6, 2010.

Corporate Developments

On June 19, 2009, Nortel announced that it was advancing in discussions with external parties to sell its businesses. To date, Nortel has completed a number of divestitures as described below. In addition, Nortel has, where applicable, completed bidding processes and received court approvals, as applicable, in the U.S. and Canada for further divestitures as also described below.

While numerous milestones have been met, significant work remains under the Creditor Protection Proceedings. A Nortel business services group (“NBS”) was established in 2009 to provide global transitional services to purchasers of Nortel’s businesses, in fulfillment of contractual obligations under transition services agreements (“TSAs”) entered into in connection with the sales of Nortel’s businesses and assets. These services include maintenance of customer and network service levels during the integration process, and providing expertise in finance, supply chain management, information technology, R&D, human resources and real estate necessary for the orderly and successful transition of businesses to purchasers over a period of 12 to 24 months from the closing of the sales. NBS is also focused on maximizing the recovery of Nortel’s accounts receivables, inventory and real estate assets, independent of the TSAs.

A core corporate group (“Corporate Group”) was also established in 2009 and is currently focused on a number of key actions, including the completion of announced sales and the sale of remaining businesses and assets, as well as exploring strategic alternatives to maximize the value of Nortel’s intellectual property. The Corporate Group is also responsible for ongoing restructuring matters, including the creditor claims process, planning toward conclusion of the CCAA Proceedings and Chapter 11 Proceedings and any distributions to creditors. The Corporate Group also continues to provide administrative and management support to Nortel’s affiliates around the world.

Effective March 21, 2010, Pavi Binning, Chief Restructuring Officer (“CRO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Executive Vice President (“EVP”) stepped down from his role as CRO, CFO and EVP. Mr. Binning is staying on for a short period to assist in the completion of the announced business sales and in the transition of certain of his responsibilities. Effective March 22, 2010, John Doolittle assumed the role of CFO of NNC and NNL in addition to his current responsibilities leading the Corporate Group. In light of the milestones met to date and the focus of the remaining work, the position of CRO will not be filled.

Sale of Layer 4-7 Data Portfolio

On February 19, 2009, Nortel announced that it had entered into a stalking horse asset purchase agreement to sell certain portions of its Layer 4-7 data portfolio, including certain Nortel Application Accelerators, Nortel Application Switches and the Virtual Services Switch, to Radware Ltd. (“Radware”) for approximately $18. Nortel received orders from the U.S. Court and Canadian Court that established bidding procedures for an auction that allowed other qualified bidders to submit higher or otherwise better offers. Nortel subsequently received orders from the U.S. Court and Canadian Court approving the transaction with Radware as the successful bidder and on March 31, 2009, Nortel completed this divestiture.

Sale of CDMA and LTE Access Assets

On June 19, 2009, Nortel announced that it, NNL, and certain of Nortel’s other subsidiaries, including NNI, had entered into a “stalking horse” asset sale agreement with Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. (“NSN”) for the planned sale of substantially all of its Code Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) business and Long Term Evolution (“LTE”) Access assets for $650. This sale required a court-

approved bidding process, known as a “stalking horse” or 363 Sale under Chapter 11 that allowed other qualified bidders to submit higher or otherwise better offers. Bidding procedures were approved by the U.S. Court and Canadian Court in late June 2009. Competing bids were required to be submitted by July 21, 2009 and an auction with the qualified bidders was completed on July 24, 2009. Ericsson emerged as the successful bidder for a purchase price of $1,130, subject to certain post closing purchase price adjustments. Nortel obtained U.S. Court and Canadian Court approvals for the sale to Ericsson on July 28, 2009. On November 13, 2009, Nortel announced that following satisfaction of all closing conditions, the sale had concluded. In connection with this transaction and included in its accounting, NNL and NNI paid an aggregate break-up fee of $19.5 plus $3 in expense reimbursements to NSN.

Sale of Packet Core Assets

On September 21, 2009, Nortel announced that it planned to sell, by “open auction”, the assets of its Wireless Networks business associated with the development of Next Generation Packet Core network components (“Packet Core Assets”). The Packet Core Assets consist of software to support the transfer of data over existing wireless networks and the next generation of wireless communications technology including relevant non-patent intellectual property, equipment and other related tangible assets, as well as a non-exclusive license of certain relevant patents and other intellectual property. The Packet Core Assets exclude legacy packet core components for its GSM and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System businesses. On October 25, 2009, in accordance with court approved procedures, our principal operating subsidiary, NNL, and NNI, entered into an agreement with Hitachi, Ltd. (“Hitachi”) for the sale of Nortel’s Packet Core Assets for a purchase price of $10. On October 28, 2009, Nortel obtained U.S. Court and Canadian Court approval of the sale to Hitachi. On December 8, 2009, NNC announced that following satisfaction of all closing conditions, the sale was concluded.

Sale of Enterprise Solutions Business

On July 20, 2009, Nortel announced that it, NNL, and certain of Nortel’s other subsidiaries, including NNI and Nortel Networks UK Ltd. (“NNUK”), had entered into a “stalking horse” asset and share sale agreement with Avaya for its North American, CALA and Asian ES business, and an asset sale agreement with Avaya for the EMEA portion of its ES business for a purchase price of $475. These agreements included the sale of substantially all of the assets of the ES business globally as well as the shares of NGS and DiamondWare, Ltd. This sale required a court-approved sale process under Chapter 11 that allowed other qualified bidders to submit higher or otherwise better offers. Bidding procedures were approved by the U.S. Court and Canadian Court on August 4, 2009. Competing bids were required to be submitted by September 4, 2009 and an auction with the qualified bidders commenced on September 11, 2009. On September 14, 2009, Avaya emerged as the successful bidder for the sale of substantially all of the assets of the ES business globally as well as the shares of NGS and DiamondWare, Ltd. for a purchase price of $900 in cash, subject to certain post closing purchase price adjustments, with an additional pool of $15 reserved for an employee retention program. Nortel obtained U.S. Court and Canadian Court approvals for the sale to Avaya on September 16, 2009. On December 18, 2009, Nortel announced that the sale of substantially all of these assets had been completed. The sale of certain ES assets held by Israeli subsidiaries was subsequently approved by the Israeli Court on December 21, 2009. All other closing conditions had been satisfied as of December 18, 2009.

Sale of Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet Businesses

On October 7, 2009, Nortel announced that it, NNL, and certain of its other subsidiaries, including NNI and NNUK, had entered into a “stalking horse” asset sale agreement with Ciena for its North American, CALA and Asian Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet businesses, and an asset sale agreement with Ciena for the EMEA portion of its Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet businesses for a purchase price of $390 in cash and 10 million shares of Ciena common stock. These agreements include the planned sale of substantially all the assets of Nortel’s Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet businesses globally. This sale required a court-approved sale process under Chapter 11 that allowed other qualified bidders to submit higher or otherwise better offers. Bidding procedures were approved by the U.S. Court and Canadian Court on October 15, 2009. Competing bids were ultimately required to be submitted by November 17, 2009. On November 22, 2009, in accordance with court approved procedures, Nortel concluded an auction for the sale of these assets to Ciena, who emerged as the successful bidder, agreeing to pay $530 in cash, subject to certain post closing purchase price adjustments, plus $239 principal amount of Ciena convertible notes due June 2017. At a joint hearing on December 2, 2009, Nortel obtained U.S. Court and Canadian Court approvals for the sale to Ciena. On March 19, 2010, Nortel announced that it had completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of its Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet businesses to Ciena and that Ciena had elected, as permitted by the terms of the sale, to replace the $239 million principal amount of convertible notes with cash consideration of $244 million, and thus pay an all cash purchase price of approximately $774 million, subject to a working capital adjustment currently estimated as a downward adjustment of approximately $62 million.

Sale of GSM/GSM-R Business

On September 30, 2009, Nortel announced that it plans to sell by “open auction” substantially all of its global GSM/GSM-R business. In connection with this proposed sale, NNL also expects to transfer specified patents predominantly used in the GSM business and grant non-exclusive licenses of other relevant patents. This sale required a court-approved sale process under Chapter 11 that allowed other qualified bidders to submit offers. Bidding procedures were approved by the U.S. Court and Canadian Court on October 15, 2009. Competing bids were required to be submitted by November 16, 2009. An auction with the qualified bidders concluded on November 24, 2009, with Ericsson and Kapsch emerging as the successful bidders for the sale of these assets for a total purchase price of $103 in cash, subject to certain post closing purchase price adjustments. On November 18, 2009, Kapsch filed its bid for the GSM/GSM-R assets of NNSA with the French Administrator and the French Liquidator. On March 3, 2010, Kapsch filed an irrevocable and unconditional bid for such assets with the French Administrator and the French Liquidator. Nortel obtained U.S. Court and Canadian Court approvals for the sale to Ericsson and Kapsch on December 2, 2009. On March 31, 2010, Nortel announced that it had completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of its global GSM/GSM-R business to Ericsson and Kapsch.

Sale of CVAS Business

On December 23, 2009, Nortel announced that it, NNL, and certain of its other subsidiaries, including NNI and NNUK, had entered into a “stalking horse” asset sale agreement with GENBAND for its North American, CALA and Asian CVAS business, and an asset sale agreement with GENBAND for the EMEA portion of CVAS business for a purchase price of $282, subject to balance sheet and other downward adjustments currently estimated at approximately $100, resulting in estimated net proceeds of approximately $182. These agreements include the planned sale of substantially all the assets of the CVAS business globally. This sale required a court-approved sale process under Chapter 11 that allowed other qualified bidders to submit higher or otherwise better offers. Bidding procedures were approved by the Canadian Court on January 6, 2010 and the U.S. Court on January 8, 2010. Competing bids were required to be submitted by February 23, 2010. No bids were received prior to the bid deadline. On February 24, 2010, Nortel announced that it would not proceed to auction and would work towards closing the asset sale agreements with GENBAND. At a joint hearing on March 3, 2010, Nortel obtained U.S. Court and Canadian Court approval of the sale to GENBAND.

In some EMEA jurisdictions, this transaction is subject to compliance with information and consultation obligations with employee representatives prior to finalization of the terms of the sale. In addition to the processes and approvals outlined above, consummation of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of regulatory and other conditions and the receipt of various approvals, including the approval of the courts in France and Israel. This sale is expected to close in the second quarter of 2010, subject to regulatory approvals and closing conditions.

Transition Services Agreements

Nortel has entered into TSAs in connection with certain of the completed divestitures discussed above and is contractually obligated under such TSAs to provide transition services to certain purchasers of its businesses and assets.

In connection with the sale of substantially all of its CDMA business and LTE Access assets, Nortel entered into a TSA with Ericsson pursuant to which Nortel has agreed to provide certain transition services for a period of up to 12 to 24 months after closing of the transaction.

In connection with the sale of substantially all of its ES business, Nortel entered into a TSA with Avaya pursuant to which it agreed to provide certain transition services for a period of up to 18 months (up to 12 months in certain jurisdictions in EMEA) after closing of the transaction.

In connection with the sale of substantially all of its Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet businesses Nortel entered into a TSA with Ciena pursuant to which Nortel agreed to provide certain transition services for a period of up to 24 months (up to 12 months in certain jurisdictions in EMEA) after closing of the transaction.

In connection with the sale of substantially all of its GSM/GSM-R business, Nortel entered into a TSA with Ericsson pursuant to which Nortel agreed to provide certain transition services for a period of up to 18 months (up to 12 months in certain jurisdictions in EMEA) after closing of the transaction and a TSA with Kapsch pursuant to which Nortel agreed to provide certain transition services for a period of up to 12 months after closing of the transaction.

In connection with the planned sale of substantially all of its CVAS business, subject to completion of the divestiture, at closing, Nortel expects to enter into a TSA with GENBAND pursuant to which Nortel would agree to provide certain transition services for a period of up to 18 months (up to 12 months in certain jurisdictions in EMEA) after closing of the transaction.

Divestiture Proceeds Received

As at March 31, 2010, Nortel had received proceeds of approximately $2,900, in connection with the completed sales of businesses and assets. These divestiture proceeds include the following approximate amounts:

 

  (a) $1,120 from the sale of substantially all of Nortel’s CDMA business and LTE Access assets;

 

  (b) $18 from the sale of Nortel’s Layer 4-7 data portfolio;

 

  (c) $10 from the sale of Nortel’s Packet Core Assets;

 

  (d) $923 from the sale of substantially all of Nortel’s ES business, including the shares of DiamondWare, Ltd. and NGS;

 

  (e) $713 from the sale of substantially all of Nortel’s Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet businesses; and

 

  (f) $118 from the sale of substantially all of Nortel’s global GSM/GSM-R business.

As at March 31, 2010, of the $2,900 in proceeds received from divestitures, approximately $2,696 was being held in escrow and is currently reported in NNL solely for financial reporting purposes. The ultimate determination of the final allocation of such proceeds among the various Nortel entities has not yet occurred and may be materially different from the NNL classification and related amounts shown in these financial statements. The IFSA and the escrow agreements for sales divestiture proceeds entered into by NNL, NNI and other Nortel legal entities provide for the processes for determining the final allocation of divestiture proceeds among such entities, either through joint agreement or, failing such agreement, other dispute resolution proceeding. Adjustments to the NNL classification and any related amounts arising from the ultimate outcome of the allocation agreement or other dispute resolution proceeding noted above will be recognized when finalized. The NNL classification and related amounts are not determinative of, and have not been accepted by any debtor estate, any party in interest in the Creditor Protection Proceedings or any court overseeing such proceedings, for purposes of deciding, the final allocation of divestiture proceeds.

Interim and Final Funding and Settlement Agreements

Historically, Nortel has deployed its cash through a variety of intercompany borrowing and transfer pricing arrangements to allow it to operate on a global basis and to allocate profits, losses and certain costs among the corporate group. In particular, the Canadian Debtors have continued to allocate profits, losses and certain costs, among the corporate group through transfer pricing agreement payments (“TPA Payments”). Other than one $30 payment made by NNI to NNL in respect of amounts that Nortel believes are owed in connection with the transfer pricing agreement, TPA Payments had been suspended since the Petition Date. However, the Canadian Debtors and the U.S. Debtors, with the support of the U.S. Creditors’ Committee and the Bondholder Group, as well as the EMEA Debtors (other than NNSA), entered into the IFSA under which NNI paid $157 to NNL, in four installments during the period ended September 30, 2009 in full and final settlement of TPA Payments for the period from the Petition Date to September 30, 2009. A portion of this funding may be repayable by NNL to NNI in certain circumstances. The IFSA was approved by the U.S. Court and Canadian Court on June 29, 2009 and on June 23, 2009, the English Court confirmed that the U.K. Administrators were at liberty to enter into the IFSA on behalf of each of the EMEA Debtors (except for NNSA which was authorized to enter into the IFSA by the French Court on July 7, 2009). NNSA acceded to the IFSA on September 11, 2009.

On December 23, 2009, Nortel announced it, NNL, NNI, and certain other Canadian Debtors and U.S. Debtors entered into the FCFSA, which provides, among other things, for the settlement of certain intercompany claims, including in respect of amounts determined to be owed by NNL to NNI under Nortel’s transfer pricing arrangements for the years 2001 through 2005. As part of the settlement, NNL has agreed to the establishment of a pre-filing claim in favor of NNI in the CCAA Proceedings in the net amount of approximately $2,063 (“FCFSA Claim”), which claim will not be subject to any offset. This claim is a general unsecured claim, the recovery of which is dependent upon the recovery received by all other similarly situated creditors in the CCAA Proceedings. The FCFSA also provides that NNI will pay to NNL approximately $190 over the course of 2010, which amount includes the contribution of NNI and certain U.S. affiliates towards certain estimated costs to be incurred by NNL, on their behalf, for the duration of the Creditor Protection Proceedings. The FCFSA also provides for the allocation of certain other anticipated costs to be incurred by the parties, including those relating to the divestiture of Nortel’s various businesses. On January 21, 2010, Nortel obtained approvals from the Canadian Court and the U.S. Court of the FCFSA and the creation and allowance of the FCFSA Claim. In addition, Nortel obtained various other approvals from the Canadian Court and U.S. Court including authorization for NNL and NNI to enter into advance pricing agreements with the U.S. and Canadian tax authorities to resolve certain transfer pricing issues, on a retrospective basis, for the taxable years 2001 through 2005. In addition, in consideration of a settlement payment of $37.5, the United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) agreed to release all of its claims against NNI and other members of NNI’s consolidated tax group for the years 1998 through 2008. As a result of this settlement, the IRS stipulated that its claim against NNI filed in the Chapter 11 Proceedings in the amount of approximately $3,000 is reduced to the $37.5 settlement payment. This settlement was a condition of the FCFSA and was approved by the U.S. Court on January 21, 2010. NNI made the settlement payment to the IRS on February 22, 2010.

APAC Debt Restructuring Agreement

As a consequence of the Creditor Protection Proceedings, certain amounts of intercompany payables to certain Nortel subsidiaries (“APAC Agreement Subsidiaries”) in the Asia Pacific (“APAC”) region as of the Petition Date became impaired. To enable the APAC Agreement Subsidiaries to continue their respective business operations and to facilitate any potential divestitures, the Debtors have entered into an Asia Restructuring Agreement (“APAC Agreement”). Under the APAC Agreement, the APAC Agreement Subsidiaries will pay a portion of certain of the APAC Agreement Subsidiaries’ net intercompany debt outstanding as of the Petition Date (“Pre-Petition Intercompany Debt”) to the Canadian Debtors, the U.S. Debtors and the EMEA Debtors (including NNSA to the extent it elects to participate in the APAC Agreement). A further portion of the Pre-Petition Intercompany Debt will be repayable in monthly amounts but only to the extent of such APAC Agreement Subsidiary’s net cash balance, and subject to certain reserves and provisions. The remainder of each APAC Agreement Subsidiary’s Pre-Petition Intercompany Debt will be subordinated and postponed to the prior payment in full of such APAC Agreement Subsidiary’s liabilities and obligations. All required court approvals with respect to the APAC Agreement have been obtained in the U.S. and Canada; however, implementation of the APAC Agreement for certain parties in other jurisdictions remains subject to receipt of outstanding regulatory approvals.

Flextronics

On January 14, 2009, Nortel announced that NNL had entered into an amendment to arrangements (“Amending Agreement”) with a major supplier, Flextronics Telecom Systems, Ltd. (“Flextronics”). Under the terms of the Amending Agreement, NNL agreed to commitments to purchase $120 of existing inventory by July 1, 2009 and to make quarterly purchases of other inventory, and to terms relating to payment and pricing. Flextronics had notified Nortel of its intention to terminate certain other arrangements upon 180 days’ notice (in July 2009) pursuant to the exercise by Flextronics of its contractual termination rights, while the other arrangements between the parties would continue in accordance with their terms. Following subsequent negotiations, Nortel resolved various ongoing disputes and issues relating to the interpretation of the Amending Agreement and confirmed, among other things, its obligation to purchase inventory in accordance with existing plans of record of $25. In addition, one of the supplier agreements with Flextronics was not terminated on July 12, 2009, as originally referenced in the Amending Agreement, but instead was extended to December 2009, with a further extension for certain products to July 2010.

Nortel and Flextronics entered into an agreement dated November 20, 2009 (“Flextronics Agreement”), as approved by the U.S. Court and Canadian Courts on December 2, 2009, that, among other things, provides a mechanism for the transfer of Nortel’s supply relationship to purchasers of Nortel’s other businesses or assets. In addition, this agreement resolves certain receivable amounts from and payable amounts due to Flextronics. See note 6.

Since the Petition Date, Nortel has periodically entered into agreements with other suppliers, including contract manufacturers, to address issues and concerns as they arise in order to ensure ongoing supply of goods and services and minimize any disruption in its global supply chain. In certain circumstances, some of these agreements include advance deposit or escrow obligations, or purchase commitments in order to mitigate the risk associated with supplying Nortel during the pendency of the Creditor Protection Proceedings.

Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification

Certain Nortel entities have not filed for bankruptcy protection (“Cascade Subsidiaries”). Under the laws of various jurisdictions in which the Cascade Subsidiaries operate, the directors, officers and agents of the Cascade Subsidiaries may be subject to personal liability. In order to protect individuals serving as directors on the boards of the Cascade Subsidiaries and to facilitate participation by the Cascade Subsidiaries in Nortel’s sales of businesses and assets, NNL and NNI have agreed to contribute to a trust (“Trust”), which will indemnify individuals serving as directors on the boards of the Cascade Subsidiaries and their successors, if any, for any claims resulting from their service as a director, officer or agent of a Cascade Subsidiary, subject to limited exceptions. The establishment of the Trust was approved by the Canadian Court and the U.S. Court on March 31, 2010.

Deregistration of Notes

As part of Nortel’s ongoing cost reduction activities, on March 11, 2010, NNC, NNL, NNI and Nortel Networks Capital Corporation each filed a Form 15 with the SEC related to their respective debt securities and all related guarantees, as applicable, reflecting the automatic suspension of reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as there were less than 300 holders of each series of securities as of January 1, 2010.
