OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

HP is a leading global provider of products, technologies, software, solutions and services to individual consumers, small- and medium-sized businesses, and large enterprises, including customers in the government, health and education sectors. Their offerings span: Multi-vendor customer services, including infrastructure technology and business process outsourcing, technology support and maintenance, application development and support services, and consulting and integration services; Enterprise information technology infrastructure, including enterprise storage and server technology, networking products and solutions, information management software and software that optimize business technology investments; Personal computing and other access devices; and Imaging and printing-related products and services. They have seven business segments for financial reporting purposes: Services, Enterprise Storage and Servers (''ESS''), HP Software, the Personal Systems Group (''PSG''), the Imaging and Printing Group (''IPG''), HP Financial Services (''HPFS''), and Corporate Investments. Services, ESS and HP Software are reported collectively as a broader HP Enterprise Business. While the HP Enterprise Business is not an operating segment, they sometimes provide financial data aggregating the segments within it in order to provide a supplementary view of their business. Their strategy and operations are currently focused on the following initiatives:

Competitive Positioning
They are positioning their businesses to take advantage of important trends in the markets for their products and services. For example, they are aligning their printing business to capitalize on key market trends such as the shift from analog to digital printing and the growth in printable content by developing innovative products for consumers such as the first web-connected home printer, working to enable web and mobile printing, expanding their presence in high-usage annuity businesses including graphics and retail publishing printing, and growing their managed print services business. They are also positioning their enterprise business to capitalize on the trend towards converged infrastructure products that integrate storage, networking, servers and management software, while also delivering services for that converged infrastructure in a manner that best fits each client's needs, be it

at a client site, as an outsourced service via the Internet or via a hybrid approach. In addition, they have developed IT management software offerings that seek to satisfy the increasing demand for virtualization management and increased automation.

Driving Operational Efficiency

They are working to optimize efficiency across the company. As part of those efforts, they are continuing to execute on their multi-year program to consolidate real estate locations worldwide to fewer core sites in order to reduce their IT spending and real estate costs. They are also continuing to implement the restructuring plan announced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 to optimize the cost structure of their Services business and the restructuring plan announced in May 2009 to structurally change and improve the effectiveness of several of their product businesses. In June 2010, they announced and started implementing a new restructuring plan that will consolidate data centers, systems and tools to better position for growth their enterprise services business, which includes their infrastructure technology outsourcing, application services, and business process outsourcing business units.

Investing for Growth

They are investing for growth by strengthening their position in their core markets and accelerating growth in adjacent markets in anticipation of market trends, such as data center consolidation and automation, cloud computing and virtualization, digitization, IT security, and mobility and connectivity. For example, they are increasing their sales coverage and investing in their sales channels to better address the markets they cover, including further expansion in emerging markets. They are creating innovative new products and developing new channels to connect with their customers. In addition, they have been making focused investments in innovation to strengthen their portfolio of products and services that they can offer to their customers, both through acquisitions and through organic growth. A critical component of this strategy was their acquisition of Electronic Data Systems Corporation (''EDS'') in August 2008, which has increased the size and breadth of their services business and enabled them to provide comprehensive IT product and services solutions to their customers. In addition, with the completion of the acquisition of 3Com Corporation (''3Com'') in April 2010, they are accelerating their investments in networking. In July 2010, they completed the acquisition of Palm, Inc. (''Palm''), which enhances their ability to participate more aggressively in the growing smartphone and connected mobile

device markets. In September 2010, they completed the acquisition of 3PAR Inc. (''3PAR''), which expands their storage portfolio into enterprise-class public and private cloud computing environments. In October 2010, they completed the acquisition of ArcSight, Inc. (''ArcSight''), which enables them to offer customers an integrated security platform with a holistic approach to securing their networks, applications and sensitive data. These acquisitions have enabled them to expand in high-margin and high-growth industry segments and have further strengthened their portfolio of hardware, software and services.

Leveraging their Portfolio and Scale

They offer one of the IT industry's broadest portfolios of products and services, and they leverage that portfolio to their strategic advantage. For example, in their enterprise business, they are able to provide servers, storage and networking products packaged with services that can be delivered to customers in the manner of their choosing, be it in-house, outsourced as a service via the Internet or via a hybrid environment. Their portfolio of management software completes the package by allowing their customers to manage their IT operations in an efficient and cost-effective manner. In addition, they are working to optimize their supply chain by eliminating complexity, reducing fixed costs, and leveraging their scale to ensure the availability of components at favorable prices even during shortages. They are also expanding their use of industry standard components in their enterprise products to further leverage their scale.

SWOT ANALYSIS HEWLETT PACKARD

STRENGTHS
STRONG MARKET POSITION: Hewlett-Packard has the largest global market share in the PC market at 17.7% with the closest competitor Dell at 14% and Lenovo which possesses 13.5%.In addition Hewlett Packard can boast of a 30% of the global server market. Its domination of the global printer market is evidenced by its 40% market share. In 2009 Hewlett Packard took a major step in strengthening its position in the IT services market by acquiring EDS. PROMINENT BRAND NAME RECOGNITION: Hewlett-Packard has a strong, well-known brand. They have the ability to pursue endeavors in other markets and their brand name will allow them to do so with credibility to a certain extent. Hewlett Packard is keenly aware of the importance of branding. It has long sought to adjust its brand image as required by changing market forces. In the late nineties it began to shift its image to encompass more than just the business to business segment making adjustments to increase its presence in the consumer market as well. Although business to business sales continue to prevail, the company seeks to exploit its good relationship with retailers. As a result of this strategy many current consumer products are business models stripped of costly features in order to appeal to the needs and pocketbook of the consumer market. Hewlett Packard has launched a branding initiative called, One Voice, in order to better integrate its line of consumer electronics and computer hardware products. With a fresh design to the packaging, they are striving to on brand across thousands of product lines and dozens of packaging types. The project has resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost savings by automating package design creation. In addition, the company gained greater consistency in its packaging by providing a system that keeps the company on brand. In 2009 the company moved up from the 12th to the 11th most recognizable brand according to a global survey. SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS: Hewlett Packard continues its trend of recognizing and capitalizing on strategic acquisitions. The companys major mergers and acquisitions in recent past include Compaq Computer Corporation in 2002, Mercury Interactive in 2006 and Electronic Data Systems Corporation (EDS) in 2009. In November of 2009, Hewlett Packard announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire 3Com, a provider of computer network equipment, for $2.7 billion in a deal that H.P. plans as a the beginning of an assault on the market leader in networking, Cisco Systems. Computer networking is a $40 billion-ayear market with high profit margins that is growing briskly and dominated by Cisco, which has so far had little head-to-head competition. The companys successful inorganic growth allows it to increase its competitiveness as well as create value for both investors and customers of the company.

EXPERTISE: Hewlett-Packard has printer expertise and is a world leader in this product.

WEAKNESSES
WEAK MARKET SEGMENT INTEGRATION: Although Hewlett Packard is currently addressing its lack of presence in some seemingly obvious segments, there remains room for improvement. The companys portfolio of offerings lack significant software product or manage consulting services when compared to major competitors including, Accenture, EMC and IBM. For example, both IBM and Accenture are establishing management consulting divisions so as to provide more comprehensive and integrated range of services. Hewlett Packard has partnered with Thomson eXimius to provide front office processes for private client wealth management firms to support the increasingly sophisticated needs of their customers.

SUPPLY CHAIN: Hewlett-Packard is supplied by third party vendors. Since they are unable to accurately determine demand 100% of the time, they run the risks of having a shortage or being oversupplied.

PERSONAL COMPUTER: Hewlett-Packards inability to create a desktop that can compete with companies such as Dell within a timely manner.

OPPURTUNITIES

EXPANDING PRESENCE IN CLOUD COMPUTING MARKET: Cloud computing describes a new delivery model for IT services. In July 2008, HP along with Intel Corporation and Yahoo! created a global, multi-data center, open source test bed for cloud computing research and education. The goal of the project was to promote collaboration among industry, academy and governments by removing the financial and logistical barriers. In 2009, HP announced HP Cloud Assure, a new SaaS offering designed to assist businesses to safely and effectively adopt cloud-based services. HP Cloud Assure consists of HP services and software, including HP Application Security Center, HP Performance Center and HP Business Availability Center. These solutions are delivered to customers though HP SaaS platform. The increasing demand for cloud computing is likely to create demand for HPs solutions in coming years. The global spending on cloud computing is forecast to cross a value of over $40 billion by 2012

EXPANDING PORTFOLIO OF IMAGING AND PRINTING SOLUTIONS: Hewlett Packard has made several strategic acquisitions and introduced new products in the imaging solutions segment in recent times. Its imaging solutions strategy entails the commercial markets, from print services solutions to new growth opportunities in commercial printing and capturing high-value pages in areas such as industrial applications, outdoor signage, and graphic arts. Among those key acquisitions are Tabblo, Logoworks, MacDermid and ColorSpan.

RETAIL PHOTO PRINTING SOLUTIONS AND SERVICES: HP provides consumers the tools to personalize their photos and publish customized creative output. In addition, it has introduced new digital printing technologies, HP Inkjet Web Press, HP Latex Inks and three HP Indigo presses, as part of its graphic arts offerings. In October 2010, it also announced a plan to launch full wireless HP Photosmart printer line-up by 2012.

THREATS

PROJECTED DECREASE IN IT MARKET: Forecasters predict a decrease in the worldwide demand for various IT products offered by HP. The economic slowdown has negatively affected many market segments, including information technology. Hewlett Packard has experienced this decline not only in the U.S. but also in its global markets. Worldwide spending on IT was predicted to decline by 4% in 2011. HYPER COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT: Although Hewlett Packard recently overtook Dell in sales, the latter remains a formidable competitor, as are other companies such as Toshiba, Lenova Group and Aver. It competes in terms of price, quality, brand, technology, reputation, distribution and range of products, among other factors. In some regions, the company faces competition from local companies and from generically-branded or white box manufacturers. COMPETITORS: Specifically, the companys competitors in enterprise servers and storage include IBM an in storage there is the EMC Corporation, Dell in industry standard servers and Sun Microsystems in UNIX-based servers. The imaging and printing groups key competitors include Canon USA, Lexmark International, Xerox Corporation, Seiko Epson Corporation, Samsung Electronics and Dell. HP even faces competition from re-manufacturers including private label brand stores, supply stores such, internet vendors and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as Lexmark. The remanufacturers buy the original cartridges from customers, refill them with their own ink and resell them at a discount to the branded OEMS. These entities provide a continuous source of competition which could impact the profitability of HP.

Item Cash and cash equivalents

Description Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits should not be reported as cash and cash equivalents. Amount due from customers or clients, within one year of the balance sheet date (or the normal operating cycle, whichever is longer), for goods or services (including trade receivables) that have been delivered or sold in the normal course of business, reduced to the estimated net realizable fair value by an allowance established by the entity of the amount it deems uncertain of collection. Carrying amount (lower of cost or market) as of the balance sheet date of inventories less all valuation and other allowances. Excludes noncurrent inventory balances (expected to remain on hand past one year or one operating cycle, if longer). Sum of the carrying amounts as of the balance sheet date of all assets that are expected to be realized in cash, sold, or consumed within one year (or the normal operating cycle, if longer). Assets are probable future economic benefits obtained or controlled by an entity as a result of past transactions or events.

The company Hewlett-Packard Co.'s cash and cash equivalents declined from 2009 to 2010 and from 2010 to 2011.

Accounts receivable

Fiscal 2010 In fiscal 2010, total HP net revenue increased 10% (8.3% on a constant currency basis). U.S. net revenue increased 7.8% to $44.5 billion, while net revenue from outside of the United States increased 11.3% to $81.5 billion. As reflected in the table above, the PSG segment was the largest contributor to HP net revenue growth as a result of balanced growth across the regions. Fiscal 2009 In fiscal 2009, the global slowdown of IT and consumer spending impacted each of HP segments. Net revenue decreased 3.2% in fiscal 2009 (increased 1.3% on a constant currency basis). The unfavorable currency impact for fiscal 2009 was due primarily to the movement of the dollar against the euro. For fiscal 2009, the Services segment contributed favorably to the total HP net revenue change primarily as a result of the EDS acquisition. U.S. net revenue increased 12% to $41.3 billion for fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008, while net revenue from outside of the United States decreased 10% to $73.2 billion. The increase in U.S. net revenue in fiscal 2009 was primarily a result of the acquisition of EDS.

Gross Margin
Fiscal 2010 In fiscal 2010, total HP gross margin increased by 0.2 percentage points. The increase was a result of an increased mix in networking products and rate increase in Services, the effect of which was partially offset by strong revenue growth in personal computers and printer hardware that have lower gross margins. Services gross margin increased in fiscal 2010 due primarily to the continued focus on operating improvements, including delivery efficiencies and cost controls in HPs technology services business, and EDS-related acquisition synergies. ESS gross margin declined in fiscal 2010 due primarily to a product mix shift resulting from the strength in industry standard servers (''ISS''), the effect of which was partially offset by lower product costs and strong volume. HP Software gross margin increased in fiscal 2010 primarily as a result of a higher license and support mix, the effect of which was partially offset by a reduced services gross margin rate. PSG gross margin declined in fiscal 2010 primarily as a result of higher component costs, the effect of which was partially offset by lower warranty and logistics expenses.

IPG gross margin declined in fiscal 2010 due primarily to a higher mix of hardware and a correspondingly lower mix of supplies, the effect of which was partially offset by cost savings associated with their ongoing efforts to optimize their supply chain. HPFS gross margin increased in fiscal 2010 primarily as a result of higher portfolio margins due to favorable financing conditions and higher remarketing margin, the effect of which was partially offset by higher bad debt. Corporate Investments gross margin increased in fiscal 2010 primarily as a result of the impact from the 3Com acquisition along with lower product costs for their network infrastructure products.

Fiscal 2009 Total HP gross margin decreased by 0.6 percentage points in fiscal 2009. From a segment perspective and on a weighted basis, ESS had the largest impact to the total company gross margin decline due to product mix shift and rate declines. Services gross margin increased in fiscal 2009 due primarily to the continued focus on cost structure improvements, including delivery efficiencies and cost controls in their technology services business, and EDS-related acquisition synergies. This was partially offset by the mix effect from the acquisition of the EDS business, which has lower gross margins. ESS gross margin decreased in fiscal 2009 due primarily to competitive pricing across each of the segment business units and product mix shifts. HP Software gross margin increased in fiscal 2009 primarily as a result of favorable support and services revenue mix and improved services margins, the effect of which was partially offset by an unfavorable license revenue mix. PSG gross margin declined in fiscal 2009, resulting from average selling prices (''ASPs'') declining at a faster pace than component costs combined with a mix shift towards lower-end products, the effects of which were partially offset by lower warranty and supply chain costs and improvements in the option attach rate. IPG gross margin improved in fiscal 2009 primarily as a result of an increase in the supplies mix and supplies pricing, the effect of which was partially offset by hardware margin declines. HPFS gross margin declined in fiscal 2009 primarily as a result of unfavorable currency impacts, lower margins relating to end-of-lease activities, higher bad debt expenses and lower margins for remarketing and buyout activities, the effect of which was partially offset by higher portfolio margins. Corporate Investments gross margin declined in fiscal 2009 primarily as a result of a unit volume decline in the sale of network infrastructure products and competitive pricing pressures.

Operating Expenses
Research and Development Total research and development (''R&D'') expense increased in fiscal 2010 due primarily to additional expenses from acquired companies. In fiscal 2010, R&D expense as a percentage of net revenue increased for Corporate Investments, HP Software and Services, decreased for ESS, PSG, and IPG and was flat for HPFS. Total R&D expense decreased in fiscal 2009 due primarily to favorable currency impacts related to the movement of the dollar against the euro, as well as effective cost controls, the effect of which was partially offset by additional expenses related primarily to Services. In fiscal 2009, R&D expense as a percentage of net revenue decreased for ESS, PSG, and IPG, and increased for HP Software, Services and Corporate Investments.

Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative (''SG&A'') expense increased in fiscal 2010 due primarily to higher field selling and marketing costs as a result of their investments in sales resources to grow revenue. In fiscal 2010, SG&A expense as a percentage of net revenue increased for Corporate Investments and IPG, and decreased for ESS, HP Software, PSG, HPFS and Services even as HP invested in incremental sales resources across the segments. Total SG&A expense decreased in fiscal 2009 due primarily to favorable currency impacts related to the movement of the dollar against the euro, lower compensation expense as well as effective cost management, the impact of which was partially offset by additional expenses related to the EDS acquisition. In fiscal 2009, SG&A expense as a percentage of net revenue decreased for each of their segments, except for Corporate Investments.

Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets The decrease in amortization expense in fiscal 2010 was due primarily to certain intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions reaching the end of their amortization periods, the effect of which was partially offset by increased amortization of purchased intangible assets from acquisitions completed during fiscal 2010. The increase in amortization expense in fiscal 2009 was due primarily to amortization expenses related to the intangible assets purchased as part of the EDS acquisition.

Acquisition-Related Charges In fiscal 2010, HP recorded acquisition-related charges of $293 million primarily for consulting and integration costs, acquisition costs and retention bonuses associated with the EDS, 3Com, Palm, 3PAR and ArcSight acquisitions. In fiscal 2009, HP recorded acquisition-related charges of $242 million primarily for consulting and integration costs as well as retention bonuses associated with the EDS acquisition. Interest and Other, Net Interest and other, net improved by $216 million in fiscal 2010. The improvement was driven primarily by lower currency losses on balance sheet remeasurement items, lower interest expenses on debt balances due to lower interest rates, and a value-added tax refund, the effect of which was partially offset by an increase to their litigation accruals. Interest and other, net decreased by $721 million in fiscal 2009. The decrease was driven primarily by higher interest expenses due to higher average debt balances principally related to the EDS acquisition, lower interest income as a result of lower interest rates, and higher currency losses on balance sheet remeasurement items. Additionally, there were higher gains from the sale of real estate in fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2009.

Provision for Taxes HPs effective tax rates were 20.2%, 18.6% and 20.5% in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. HP's effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from HP's operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world. HP has not provided U.S. taxes for all of its international earnings because HP plans to reinvest some of those earnings indefinitely outside the United States. The increase in the overall tax rate in fiscal 2010 was due primarily to a decrease in the income tax benefits related to foreign earnings. The decrease in the overall tax rate in fiscal 2009 was due primarily to the net income tax benefits recorded for fiscal 2009 which were related to foreign net operating losses, adjustments to estimated fiscal 2008 tax accruals upon filing the 2008 income tax returns, valuation allowance reversals for state and foreign net operating losses, and other miscellaneous items.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by approximately $1.5 billion for fiscal 2010, as compared to fiscal 2009. The decrease was due primarily to an increase in accounts and financing receivables resulting from higher revenues in the fourth quarter and higher payments for account payable activities, the impact of which was partially offset by the increase in net earnings. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by approximately $1.2 billion for fiscal 2009, as compared to fiscal 2008. The decrease was due primarily to increased utilization of cash resources for payment of operating liabilities such as accounts payable, other current liabilities and restructuring along with a decrease in net earnings. Days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable (''DSO'') measures the average number of days HPs receivables are outstanding. DSO is calculated by dividing ending accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, by a 90-day average net revenue. HPs accounts receivable balance was $18.5 billion as of October 31, 2010. Days of supply in inventory (''DOS'') measures the average number of days from procurement to sale of HPs product. DOS is calculated by dividing ending inventory by a 90-day average cost of goods sold. HPs inventory balance was $6.5 billion as of October 31, 2010. Days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable (''DPO'') measures the average number of days HPs accounts payable balances are outstanding. DPO is calculated by dividing ending accounts payable by a 90-day average cost of goods sold. HPs accounts payable balance was $14.4 billion as of October 31, 2010. HPs working capital requirements depend upon HPs effective management of the cash conversion cycle, which represents effectively the number of days that elapse from the day HP pay for the purchase of raw materials to the collection of cash from HPs customers. The cash conversion cycle is the sum of DSO and DOS less DPO. The cash conversion cycle for fiscal 2010 increased by 7 days as compared to fiscal 2009. The increase in DSO was due primarily to linearity and fewer cash discounts in the fourth quarter. DOS remained flat year over year. The decrease in DPO was due primarily to a change in purchasing linearity in the fourth quarter. The cash conversion cycle for fiscal 2009 decreased by 6 days as compared to fiscal 2008. The increase in DSO was due primarily to HPs improving penetration into the enterprise market which tends to have a higher DSO profile, optimizing terms to drive shareholder value as well as more sales in the month of October. The decrease in DOS was due to lower inventory levels driven primarily by improved inventory management. The increase in DPO was due primarily to a change in purchasing linearity as business recovered through the fourth quarter.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased by approximately $7.8 billion for fiscal 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009 due primarily to higher cash payments made in connection with fiscal 2010 acquisitions and decreased by approximately $10.1 billion for fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008 due primarily to higher cash payments made in connection with fiscal 2008 acquisitions.

Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities decreased by approximately $3.8 billion for fiscal 2010, as compared to fiscal 2009. The decrease was due primarily to a higher net issuance of commercial paper, the impact of which was partially offset by increased repurchases of HPs common stock and lower global debt issuance. Net cash used in financing activities increased by approximately $4.7 billion for fiscal 2009, as compared to fiscal 2008. The increase was due primarily to higher net repayments of commercial paper and debt, the impact of which was partially offset by decreased repurchases of HPs common stock.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents at October 31, 2010 totaled $10.9 billion, a decrease of $2.4 billion from the October 31, 2009 balance of $13.3 billion. The decrease for fiscal 2010 was due primarily to $11.0 billion of cash used to repurchase common stock, $8.1 billion of net cash paid for business acquisitions, and $3.5 billion net investment in property, plant and equipment, all of which were partially offset by $11.9 billion of cash provided from operations, $6.0 billion of increased net borrowings, and $2.6 billion of proceeds related to issuance of common stock under employee stock plan.
