Item 7.(b)(1) Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information of QUALCOMM Incorporated

         On November 13, 2001, QUALCOMM and VeloCom committed to invest $266 million and $80 million, respectively, in Vesper Holding as part of a series of transactions pursuant to a Restructuring Agreement as described in the Form 8-K filed on November 28, 2001. QUALCOMM acquired a controlling interest in Vesper Holding as a result of the investment. On November 29, 2001, QUALCOMM exchanged a convertible promissory note issued by VeloCom to QUALCOMM for equity securities of VeloCom. This exchange (the “VeloCom exchange”) resulted in QUALCOMM having a 49.9% equity interest in VeloCom. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presents the effects of QUALCOMM’s acquisition of Vesper Holding and the VeloCom exchange. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet presents the consolidated financial position of QUALCOMM as of September 30, 2001, assuming that the acquisition and the VeloCom exchange had occurred as of that date. Such pro forma information is based upon the historical balance sheet data of QUALCOMM and the combined consolidated balance sheet data of Vesper Holding Companies, referred to in the unaudited pro forma financial information as “Vesper,” as of September 30, 2001. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2001 gives effect to the acquisition and the VeloCom exchange as if they had occurred on October 1, 2000. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is prepared using the purchase method of accounting. Although the acquisition of Vesper Holding will be accounted for in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 141 (FAS 141), “Business Combinations,” QUALCOMM has not adopted

FAS 141 in its entirety. Goodwill from previous acquisitions will continue to be amortized until QUALCOMM adopts FAS 141 as of the beginning of its fiscal 2003.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is based on the estimates and assumptions set forth in the notes to such information, which is preliminary and has been made solely for purposes of developing such pro forma information. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is not necessarily an indication of the results that would have been achieved had the transaction been consummated as of the dates indicated.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of QUALCOMM, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2001, and the historical financial statements of Vesper Holding Companies and VeloCom Inc. dated as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and as of September 30, 2001 (unaudited), included herein.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

         On November 13, 2001, QUALCOMM and VeloCom committed to invest $266 million and $80 million, respectively, in Vesper Holding as part of a series of transactions pursuant to a Restructuring Agreement as described in the Form 8-K filed on November 28, 2001. QUALCOMM, VeloCom and Bell Canada International (Brazil Telecom I) Limited and Bell Canada International (Megatel) Limited (together referred to as “BCI”) agreed to exchange all of their equity interests in the Vesper Operating Companies for 2,523,674 ordinary shares and 1,155,152 special voting shares of Vesper Holding. In addition, QUALCOMM received 53,752,243 and 908,182 ordinary shares of Vesper Holding for its $266 million investment and for the capitalization of acquisition-related costs paid by QUALCOMM, respectively. As a result of the restructuring, Vesper Holding Companies are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Vesper Holding, and QUALCOMM, VeloCom, and BCI hold direct equity interests in Vesper Holding of approximately 74%, 24% and 2% respectively. As part of the Restructuring, indebtedness payable by the Vesper Operating Companies to QUALCOMM was transferred to Vesper Holding, and, as a result, Vesper Holding was obligated to pay QUALCOMM $108 million as of November 13, 2001.

         On November 29, 2001, QUALCOMM converted a promissory note issued to QUALCOMM by VeloCom into equity securities of VeloCom, increasing its ownership interest in VeloCom to 49.9%. QUALCOMM indirectly owns an additional 12% of Vesper Holding through its ownership interest in VeloCom, such that QUALCOMM’s direct and indirect interests in Vesper Holding total approximately 86%. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price at November 13, 2001 reflects $313 million for property, plant and equipment, $39 million for licenses and $31 million for other intangible assets.

         The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The fair values of the assets have been adjusted downward by approximately $301 million, as the purchase price was less than the fair value of the net assets acquired. QUALCOMM is in the process of finalizing the purchase price allocation and does not anticipate material adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation presented.

Note 2 — Pro Forma Adjustments

         QUALCOMM and Vesper Holding Companies do not have material differences in accounting policies, and accordingly, there are no pro forma adjustments related to any such differences.

Also includes cash paid by QUALCOMM for acquisition-related costs and the elimination of cash advances in transit from QUALCOMM to Vesper Operating Companies reflected on both the QUALCOMM and Vesper balance sheets.
	(b)		Reflects the write off of deferred loan fees associated with the vendor financing.
	(c)		Reflects the reclassification of the promissory note receivable from VeloCom from other assets to other investments.
	(d)		Reflects an adjustment to reduce Vesper Holding Companies’ property, plant and equipment to fair value, as adjusted for the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price.

	(i)		Reflects the adjustment to depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment based on their assigned values. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives of 2 to 18 years as if the restructuring had occurred as of the beginning of the period presented.
	(j)		Reflects the adjustment to amortization expense for other intangible assets based on their assigned values. Wireless licenses and other intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives of 18 years and 3 to 18 years, respectively, as if the restructuring had occurred as of the beginning of the period presented.
	(k)		Reflects the adjustment to interest expense resulting in the reduction of vendor financing as part of the restructuring.
	(l)		Reflects the reversal of $152 million in equity in losses of Vesper Holding Companies recorded by QUALCOMM during fiscal 2001 and the elimination of $9 million in interest income from Vesper Holding Companies.
