Interim Report — Third Quarter and First Nine Months of Fiscal 2003

INTRODUCTION

The form and content of our Interim Report has been updated during fiscal 2003 to reflect the new reporting requirements of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange while continuing to adhere to the applicable disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim reporting purposes. We prepare the Interim Report as an update of our Annual Report, with a focus on the current reporting period. As such, the Interim Report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report, which includes detailed analysis of our operations and activities.

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT & MARKET TRENDS

     Despite the challenges in the current global macroeconomic environment, a majority of Siemens’ 13 operating Groups succeeded in increasing both their profits and their earnings margins during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the same quarter a year earlier. Of the nine Groups whose Operation 2003 target margin goals apply to this fiscal year, eight Groups reached, exceeded, or approached their goal by the end of the third quarter. The Automation and Drives Group (A&D) strengthened its market position in a weak economy and reported a Group profit margin of nearly 10 percent. The Group profit margin at Power Generation (PG) was more than 18%, despite the end of the gas turbine boom in the U.S. Medical Solutions (Med) also continued its success as it achieved a noteworthy Group profit margin of more than 19 percent in the third quarter. The Information and Communications business area continued to deal with pricing pressures and weakness in demand. Nevertheless, the three I&C Groups as a whole reported a stable aggregate bottom line result year-over-year.

     At the same time, a substantially weaker dollar relative to the euro created negative currency translation effects ranging into the double digits for some Groups, putting strong downward pressure on reported business volumes. Excluding the effects of currency translation, acquisitions and dispositions, third-quarter orders for Siemens overall declined only 1% year-over-year, indicating that the volume declines of recent quarters may be slowing or stabilizing.

RESULTS OF SIEMENS WORLDWIDE

Results of Siemens worldwide — Third quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to third quarter of fiscal 2002

     Sales decreased 15% to 17.380 billion compared to 20.482 billion and orders decreased 10% to 17.215 billion compared to 19.033 billion the same quarter a year earlier. Excluding the effects of currency translation, acquisitions and dispositions, sales decreased 7% and orders were 1% lower year over year.

     Gross profit as a percentage of sales for Siemens worldwide in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 was 29.4%, an increase of one percentage point above the prior year level. Gross profit margin from Operations improved as well to 28.9%. Among the Groups, in particular Med and Siemens VDO Automotive (SV) recorded significantly higher margins while Siemens Dematic (SD) and PG reported lower results.

     Research and development expenses decreased from 1.425 billion to 1.248 billion, generally in line with the decrease in sales. R&D spending within Operations represented 7.2% of sales, up from 7.0% in the third quarter of last year. Marketing, selling and general administrative expenses were 3.190 billion compared to 3.610 billion in the third quarter a year ago. This figure represents 18.4% of sales, compared to 17.6% in the third quarter of the prior year.

Table of Contents

     Other operating income (expense), net was a positive 124 million compared to a positive 58 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002, which included gains of 56 million resulting from the sale of the Hydraulik-Ring business at SV. The current year quarter included net gains of 65 million from customer cancellations at PG and a 74 million gain arising from Med’s contribution of assets to a joint venture with Draegerwerk AG.

     Income (loss) from investments in other companies, net was a positive 16 million compared to a positive 87 million in the third quarter of the prior year, which included a 67 million gain on the sale of an investment. Fujitsu Siemens Computers narrowed its loss compared to the same period a year ago. In addition, the prior year period profited from a high level of investment income at Siemens Financial Services (SFS). Siemens’ equity share of Infineon Technologies AG’s (Infineon) net loss was 43 million, compared to 31 million in the prior year.

     Income from financial assets and marketable securities, net was a negative 63 million compared to a positive 22 million in the third quarter a year ago.

     Interest income of Operations, net was 6 million compared to 24 million a year earlier, due primarily to lower interest income on accounts receivable and advance payments. Other interest income (expense), net was 75 million compared to 49 million last year reflecting lower interest expense on debt and interest paid to banks.

     The effective tax rate on income in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 was approximately 22%, compared to 25% in the third quarter a year ago.

     Net income in the third quarter was 632 million, compared to 725 million in the prior year. Earnings per share in the third quarter were 0.71, compared to 0.81 in the prior-year period.

     Net cash from operating and investing activities for the third quarter was 266 million, including an initial payment of 505 million to acquire the industrial turbine business of Alstom S.A., Paris (Alstom), 553 million in increases in investments and 188 million in increases in marketable securities. Excluding these items, net cash from operating and investing activities was 1.512 billion. Net cash in the prior year quarter was 1.466 billion.

Results of Siemens worldwide — First nine months of fiscal 2003 compared to
first nine months of fiscal 2002

     Orders for the first nine months were 56.444 billion, down 16% from 66.854 billion a year earlier, and sales fell 13% to 54.455 billion from 62.726 billion. Excluding currency effects and the net effect of acquisitions and dispositions, orders and sales were down 8% and 5%, respectively.

     Gross profit as a percentage of sales for Siemens worldwide in the nine months of fiscal 2003 improved to 28.6%, above the prior year level of 27.8%. Power Transmission and Distribution (PTD), Transportation Systems (TS), SV, Med and Osram all increased their margins, while a reduction at SD was due in large part to charges taken for contract loss provisions and PG’s margin absorbed inventory allowances, related in part to customer cancellations. A&D continued to maintain a strong gross profit margin. The prior year was negatively impacted by the consolidation of two months of Infineon’s relatively low gross profit margin. Infineon was deconsolidated beginning December 2001.

     Other operating income (expense), net was a positive 408 million compared to a positive 998 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002, which included gains of 936 million resulting from sales of shares in Infineon and a gain of 56 million from the sale of Hydraulik-Ring. The current nine-month period includes net gains of 323 million from customer cancellations at PG and a 74 million gain arising from Med’s contribution of assets to the Draeger Medical joint venture.

     Income (loss) from investments in other companies, net was a positive 44 million compared to a positive 162 million in the first nine months of the prior year which included 133 million of gains on the sale of two investments. Siemens’ equity share in the net loss of Infineon was 187 million, compared to 134 million in the prior year.

     Income (expense) from financial assets and marketable securities, net was a negative 26 million compared to a positive 68 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002.

     Interest income of Operations, net was 27 million compared to 73 million a year earlier, due to lower interest income on accounts receivable and advance payments. Other interest income (expense), net was 186 million compared to 73 million last year reflecting lower interest expense on debt and interest paid to banks.

     The effective tax rate on income in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 was approximately 29%, compared to 22% in the same period a year ago, which was positively impacted by the tax-free sale of Infineon shares, which occurred in the first two quarters of fiscal 2002.

     Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 was 1.721 billion. Net income for the first nine months a year earlier was 2.544 billion, including non-taxable gains of 936 million related to the sale of shares in Infineon noted above and losses of 115 million from the first two months of fiscal 2002, when Infineon was still consolidated in Siemens’ results. Earnings per share for the first nine months of this year were 1.93, compared to 2.86 for the same period a year ago.

     On October 1, 2002, Siemens adopted Statement of Accounting Financial Standards (SFAS) 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and associated asset retirement costs. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 143, income of 59 million (36 million net of income taxes, or 0.04 per share) was recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. See Notes to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

     For the first nine months of fiscal 2003, net cash from operating and investing activities was 527 million, including an initial payment of 505 million to acquire the industrial turbine business of Alstom, 645 million in increases in investments, 203 million in increases in marketable securities and 442 million of supplemental pension contributions made in the first quarter. Excluding these transactions, net cash from operating and investing activities was 2.324 billion. Net cash from operating and investing activities in the first nine months a year earlier was 3.206 billion. This amount included proceeds from portfolio activities totalling 945 million related to transactions involving Infineon and Atecs Mannesmann.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

Alstom

     On April 28, 2003 Siemens announced the signing of contracts towards the acquisition of the industrial turbine business of Alstom, in two transactions. In the first transaction, PG completed the acquisition of the small gas turbine business in April 2003, for a preliminary net purchase price of approximately 505 million. The Company has not finalized the purchase price allocation. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, approximately 100 million was allocated to intellectual property rights, 140 million to customer relationships and 50 million was recorded as goodwill. Both the intellectual property rights and the customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 8 years and 15 years, respectively.

     In the second transaction, PG agreed to acquire the medium-sized gas and steam turbine businesses of Alstom for a total purchase price of approximately 525 million. The Company obtained approval of the antitrust authorities in Europe and the U.S. after the close of the third fiscal quarter, in July 2003. The closing of this acquisition occurred on July 31, 2003.

Draeger Medical

     In June 2003, Med contributed its Patient Care System and Electro Cardiography System businesses into a joint venture with Draegerwerk AG in exchange for a 35 percent interest in the joint venture Draeger Medical AG & Co. KGaA (Draeger Medical), headquartered in Luebeck, Germany. In connection with the contribution, Siemens realized a pretax gain of approximately 74 million. The contribution agreement obligates Siemens to contribute to Draeger Medical the net proceeds upon the sale of its Life Support Systems business. By consenting to this sale, Siemens and Draegerwerk AG received approval by antitrust authorities. Siemens’ investment in Draeger Medical is accounted for using the equity method.

     ICN reported a loss of 125 million, including 72 million in charges primarily related to asset write-downs at Efficient Networks. The Group recorded a loss of 84 million last year, including 45 million in severance charges. On a consecutive quarter basis in the current year, ICN’s Group profit margin improved. Third-quarter earnings at the Enterprise Networks division were 62 million, up from the prior-year period, but sales declined to 893 million from 955 million a year earlier due to currency translation effects. ICN’s Carrier Networks and Services business also reported lower sales year-over-year, 801 million compared to 1.108 billion, and posted a loss of 128 million. The division’s third-quarter loss a year earlier was 183 million. For ICN as a whole, sales dropped 23% to 1.687 billion from 2.190 billion in the prior-year period, including a 6% negative currency translation effect. Third-quarter orders declined 13% year-over-year, to 1.756 billion, with nearly half the decrease due to currency translation.

     ICN’s loss in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 included charges for severance and asset write-downs, totaling 165 million. Similar charges in the prior year amounted to 181 million. While Enterprise Networks increased its nine-month profit year-over-year, Carrier Networks and Services narrowed its loss compared to the prior year period. Sales were lower due to market forces, 5% negative currency effects, and due to divestments, particularly Networks Systems between the two periods under review.

     Net capital employed at June 30, 2003 decreased to 738 million from 1.100 billion at the end of the prior fiscal year, due in large part to significantly lower expenditures for investments in property, plant and equipment. Despite lower earnings and payments for severance programs, working capital improvements, particularly of inventories and accounts receivable together with reduced capital expenditures held net cash from operating and investing activities to a negative 58 million. Cash flow is expected to absorb impacts in future periods from severance programs. ICN’s negative EVA improved substantially year-over-year.

     ICM recorded Group profit of 17 million in the third quarter, including certain one-time net positive effects at the Mobile Phones and Mobile Networks divisions. In the same period a year earlier, ICM recorded a loss of 9 million. The Mobile Networks division recorded a profit of 36 million on sales of 968 million, compared to a loss of 21 million on sales of 1.218 billion in the third quarter of the prior year. Excluding a positive effect resulting from the discontinuance of hedge accounting related to the timing of a contract, the results of Mobile Networks would have been approximately break-even. The Mobile Phones division recorded sales of 922 million on a volume of 8.1 million handsets, similar to the level a year earlier, but recorded a loss of 42 million. This was due primarily to a decline in average selling price per unit also influenced by clearance of end-of-life products. This impact was mitigated by one-time positive effects resulting from improved warranty performance. For comparison, Mobile Phones recorded a profit of 28 million in the same quarter a year earlier. Third-quarter sales for ICM as a whole fell 14%, to 2.160 billion. Orders were down 2%, at 2.313 billion. Excluding currency translation effects, sales fell 10% and orders grew 5%.

Table of Contents

     Group profit in the nine-month period was 131 million, up from 72 million in the same period a year earlier. Nine-month earnings at the Mobile Phones division fell to 12 million from 60 million a year earlier, as the division sold slightly more units than in the prior year but at a lower average selling price due to intensifying pricing pressures. Earnings at the Mobile Networks division in the first nine months were 55 million, including the positive effect related to hedge accounting noted above. For comparison, the division earned 19 million in the same period a year earlier, when it took 63 million charges for severance. Compared to the prior-year nine-month period, Group sales were down 12% while orders dropped 21%.

     Net capital employed at June 30, 2003 was 1.681 billion, compared to 1.973 billion at the end of the prior fiscal year. Net cash from operating and investing activities was up modestly at 272 million. Cash flow will be impacted in future periods due to payments related to planned headcount reduction measures. EVA improved substantially year-over-year, but remained negative.

     SBS posted Group profit of 17 million, up from 5 million in the third quarter a year earlier. Continuing weak demand for information technology (IT) services caused third-quarter sales to decline 6%, to 1.283 billion, and orders to decline 7%, to 1.297 billion.

     In the first nine months of the current fiscal year, SBS recorded Group profit of 54 million, compared to 75 million a year earlier, as demand softened particularly in the Group’s German market.

     Net capital employed increased to 502 million compared to 264 million at the end of the prior fiscal year due to increased net working capital. As a result, net cash from operating and investing activities was a negative 224 million compared to a negative 1 million for the first nine months of last year due particularly to a decrease in accounts payable. EVA turned marginally negative.

     A&D continued to produce outstanding earnings in a difficult environment, raising its Group profit to 203 million and its margin to nearly 10% in the third quarter. In the same period a year earlier, Group profit was 193 million. In the current period, the Group’s Industrial Automation Systems and Motion Control Systems divisions again led the way in contributions to Group profit. A&D also strengthened its overall market position with innovative new products across the Group that helped offset pricing pressure and weak demand in the U.S. Third-quarter sales of 2.074 billion were just 3% lower than a year ago, while orders held steady at 2.078 billion. Excluding currency translation effects, sales grew 3% and orders rose 6% year-over-year.

     A&D recorded a double-digit increase in Group profit in the nine-month period and improved its earnings margin compared to the same period a year earlier. Sales and order development, despite significant currency effects, remained stable through the first three quarters, and volumes were higher for the nine-month period, excluding currency translation effects, compared to the first nine months a year ago.

     Net capital employed at June 30, 2003 decreased to 1.952 billion, down from 2.197 billion at the end of the prior fiscal year due to improved working capital management. As a result and on the back of higher earnings, net cash from operating and investing activities increased from 614 million in the first nine months a year ago to 753 million. These positive influences led to a significant increase in EVA.

     I&S recorded 5 million in Group profit, compared to a loss of 32 million in the third quarter a year earlier, when the Group took charges to reduce capacity, including severance charges in a contracting market for industrial solutions. Market conditions remain difficult, as third-quarter sales declined 10%, to 959 million, and orders fell 8%, to 911 million. Both sales and orders included a five percentage point negative currency translation effect.

     In the first nine months, I&S narrowed its loss compared to the same period a year ago. Both nine-month periods included charges primarily for severance payments.

     Net capital employed at June 30, 2003 decreased to 222 million, compared to 315 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. Net cash from operating and investing activities improved to a negative 11 million compared to a negative 210 million for the first nine months a year earlier as the Group recorded better earnings and improved its working capital management. I&S’s negative EVA improved compared to the first nine months a year ago, due to lower losses and reduced Net capital employed.

     SD battled weak markets, project delays, and margin pressures, recording a Group loss of 64 million including 39 million in charges for capacity reduction, inventory write-downs, and increased contract loss provisions for existing project risks. Third-quarter Group profit a year earlier was 12 million. While the Electronics Assembly Systems division began to restore sales growth in its large pick-and-place business on a near-break-even basis, its smaller businesses posted losses. The Postal Automation division stayed in the black despite falling sales. The Material Handling Automation division, however, experienced volume-driven earnings declines in the U.S., took most of the charges mentioned above related to projects in Europe, and posted a significant loss compared to a profit a year earlier. SD’s third-quarter sales of 640 million were down 14% year-over-year, with currency translation accounting for 11 percentage points of the decrease. Orders dropped 24%, to 571 million, including eight percentage points due to currency translation.

     SD in the first nine months posted a loss of 40 million, compared to Group profit of 35 million a year earlier. The current nine-month period includes the charges to earnings mentioned above. A negative 9% currency translation effect magnified market-driven declines in business volumes year-over-year.

     Net capital employed at June 30, 2003 was 1.191 billion, compared to 975 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. Net cash from operating and investing activities was a negative 326 million compared to a negative 125 million for the first nine months of last year, primarily due to a significant increase in inventories resulting from delays in projects. EVA decreased and remained negative.

     Group profit at SBT was 18 million, including 20 million in charges primarily to reduce capacity. Group profit was 23 million in the third quarter a year earlier. Reflecting weakening demand in the construction market, sales fell 10% year-over-year, to 1.156 billion, and orders were down 11%, at 1.137 billion. Currency translation effects were a negative 8% for sales and a negative 7% for orders. SBT expects to take additional charges to reduce capacity in the fourth quarter.

     SBT in the first nine months recorded a Group profit of 63 million, compared to 108 million a year earlier. The current nine-month period includes charges for severance and associated write-downs of 49 million. Nine-month sales and orders were negatively impacted by 6% currency translation effects.

     Net capital employed at June 30, 2003 was 1.550 billion, compared to 1.778 billion at the end of the prior fiscal year. Despite lower earnings, SBT improved its net cash from operating and investing activities to 214 million from 129 million last year, primarily due to lower net working capital. Cash flow will be negatively impacted in future periods due to payments related to planned capacity reduction measures. The Group’s negative EVA was slightly lower.

     PG’s third-quarter Group profit of 279 million was down from the 476 million level a year earlier, near the peak of the U.S. gas turbine energy boom. The current period includes net gains of 65 million from customer cancellations, and the prior year period benefited from a 44 million gain related to revised estimates of project performance. While third-quarter sales were significantly lower than a year earlier, at 1.530 billion, orders were down just 3% year-over-year, at 1.596 billion. Excluding a 5% currency translation effect, orders rose as PG continued to expand its business with major new orders in Asia/Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East. The Group’s service business grew faster than PG as a whole, and accounted for approximately one-third of Group sales and delivered robust Group profit in the third quarter. PG’s acquisition of Alstom’s small gas turbine business, which was consolidated as of May 1, 2003, made only a modest contribution to sales and earnings growth during the period. PG’s order backlog was 14.5 billion, comparable to recent quarters.

     During the first nine months, PG expanded its global gas turbine energy business, particularly in Asia/Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East, and continued to grow its service business. Although PG’s nine-month sales and orders were down as expected, and included negative currency translation effects, Group profit was 950 million and consequently, PG’s earnings margin rose to 19% for the first three quarters. This period included net gains of 323 million related to cancellation of orders, partly offset by 87 million in allowances on inventories related to customer cancellations recorded in the first quarter.

     Net capital employed at June 30, 2003 increased to 1.047 billion, compared to a negative 144 million at the end of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to lower advance payments and the consolidation of the small gas turbine business acquired from Alstom. Net cash from operating and investing activities in the current period included the 505 million payment to Alstom. Cash flow will be affected in the fourth quarter due to PG’s completion of the acquisition of Alstom’s industrial turbine business on July 31, 2003. EVA was lower but remained strong.

     PTD delivered Group profit of 52 million compared to 43 million in the third quarter a year ago, and boosted its Group profit margin to 6% despite a decline in sales. The Group’s High Voltage and Medium Voltage divisions increased their profitability year-over-year. The aggregate effects of currency translation and the divestment of PTD’s Metering division between the two periods under review strongly influenced both sales and orders, by a negative 20% and 21%, respectively. As a result, sales fell 13%, to 869 million, and orders declined 10%, to 868 million. The divestment of Metering accounted for a negative 13% effect on both sales and orders, whereas currency translation effects were a negative 7% and a negative 8% on sales and orders, respectively. Excluding the effect of currency translation and the divestment, PTD’s sales rose 7% and orders grew 11%.

     PTD increased its earnings margin in each of the first three quarters, and all its divisions contributed higher or level earnings for the first nine months compared to the same period a year earlier. This enabled PTD to raise its nine-month Group profit 53% year-over-year despite a smaller business base following the divestment of Metering in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. Negative 7% currency effects on both sales and orders further reduced PTD’s business volumes year-over-year. Excluding currency translation and the effect of the disposition, nine-month sales grew 3% and orders declined 6% year-over-year.

     Net capital employed at June 30, 2003 improved to 836 million, from to 928 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. Net cash from operating and investing activities also improved to 246 million from 16 million for the first nine months of last year due to stronger earnings and lower inventories. These factors turned EVA positive.

     TS improved third-quarter Group profit to 74 million from 61 million a year earlier, and raised its earnings margin more than a percentage point to 6.7%. Third-quarter sales of 1.100 billion were unchanged from the level a year earlier, as TS continued to convert previous large orders into current business. Third-quarter orders of 732 million were down 19% year-over-year, including six percentage points due to currency translation, and the Group’s order backlog was 11.2 billion.

     In the first nine months, TS increased its Group profit 19% and also improved its earnings margin compared to the same period a year earlier. While sales rose year-over-year, orders were lower in comparison with the prior-year period, which included several large new contracts in Thailand and the Netherlands.

     Net capital employed at June 30, 2003 was a negative 30 million, compared to a negative 741 million at the end of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to increased inventories. This effect was also evident in net cash from operating and investing activities of a negative 537 million compared to a positive 269 million for the first nine months of last year. The negative effect from higher Net capital employed more than offset the positive impact from earnings improvement in the first nine months, resulting in a decreased, but still positive EVA.

     SV further stabilized its earnings position, achieving 111 million in Group profit and improving its earnings margin more than two full percentage points. Diesel injection systems and onboard infotainment systems supported profitability. Both sales and orders were 2.090 billion, down 6% year-over-year, partly caused by the previously communicated transfer of SV’s approximately 800 million (annualized) automotive cockpit module business to an existing joint venture with Faurecia S.A., Nanterre Cedex, France on May 31, 2003. Excluding this transfer and a 6% negative currency translation effect, SV’s sales and orders grew year-over-year.

     SV in the first nine months contributed more than 300 million in Group profit and increased its earnings margin three and a half percentage points compared to the first nine months a year earlier, riding higher profitability in its Powertrain, Chassis & Carbody, and Interior & Infotainment divisions after multi-year investments in innovative new technologies. Sales and orders were down 1%. Excluding 6% negative currency translation effects, nine-month volumes grew 5% year-over-year.

     Net capital employed at June 30, 2003 was 3.912 billion, compared to 3.746 billion at the end of the prior fiscal year. Net cash from operating and investing activities was 64 million compared to 263 million in the first nine months of the prior year. The current year reflects a decrease in accounts payable while the prior year included proceeds from the sale of businesses, particularly Hydraulik-Ring. EVA improved significantly year-over-year on higher earnings.

     Med led all Siemens Groups with 332 million in Group profit, including a 74 million gain related to the contribution of a portion of its electromedical systems business in return for an equity ownership of 35% in Draeger Medical. For comparison, Group profit a year earlier was 243 million. Healthy demand for Med’s innovative imaging systems contributed strongly to quarterly results. Third-quarter sales of 1.721 billion were down 9% and orders of 1.702 billion declined 11% year-over-year. Excluding currency translation effects that cut 13 percentage points from sales growth and 12 points from order development, Med increased sales 4% and orders 1% compared to the prior-year quarter despite slower market growth, particularly in the U.S.

     Med in the first nine months increased Group profit 16%, to 832 million with new, higher-margin products, and improved its earnings margin to 15.5%, two and a half percentage points higher than in the first nine months a year earlier. Sales and orders were lower year-over-year due to 11% negative currency translation effects. Excluding those effects, sales rose 8% and orders were up 2%.

     Net capital employed at June 30, 2003 was 3.355 billion, compared to 3.414 billion at the end of the prior fiscal year. Net cash from operating and investing activities was 406 million in the current period, compared to 598 million in the first nine months a year ago. EVA remained strong and rose compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to higher earnings.

     Osram raised its earnings margin above 10% and recorded Group profit of 98 million, compared to 102 million a year earlier. Higher-margin new products continued to brighten Osram’s profitability picture, especially at the Opto Semiconductors division. Third-quarter sales and orders of 968 million were down 10% year-over-year. Excluding currency translation effects that cut 12 percentage points from sales and order growth, sales and orders grew 2% compared to the prior-year quarter.

     In the first nine months, Osram increased its Group profit 13%, to 305 million, and boosted its earnings margin. These improvements were driven by higher earnings at the Automotive Lighting and Opto Semiconductors divisions as well as higher margins at the General Lighting division compared to the same period a year earlier. Sales and orders reflected an 11% negative currency translation effect. Excluding those effects, nine-month volumes rose 6% year-over-year.

     Net capital employed at June 30, 2003 declined to 2.124 billion, compared to 2.436 billion at the end of the prior fiscal year. Lower capital expenditures, improved working capital management and increased profitability resulted in net cash from operating and investing activities of 407 million compared to 136 million for the first nine months of last year. Higher profit on lower Net capital employed further improved Osram’s positive EVA.

Other operations

     Other operations includes certain centrally held equity investments such as BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH and other operating activities not associated with a Group. For the third quarter, Other operations contributed Group profit of 6 million, compared to a negative 3 million in the same period a year earlier. Other operations in the first nine months accounted for 128 million in Group profit, nearly unchanged from 129 million in the same period a year earlier. Net cash from operating and investing activities included increases in investments and marketable securities as mentioned above.

Corporate items, pensions and eliminations

     Corporate items, pensions, and eliminations were a negative 377 million in the third quarter, compared to a negative 206 million in the same period a year earlier, which included a gain of 67 million on the sale of an investment. Corporate costs were 150 million, down from 165 million a year earlier. Non-allocated pension expense was higher in the current period, 189 million compared to 61 million a year earlier, and Siemens’ equity share of Infineon’s net loss was also higher, at 43 million compared to 31 million a year earlier.

     Corporate items, pensions and eliminations in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 were a negative 1.256 billion compared to a negative 751 million in the same period a year earlier, due primarily to higher non-allocated pension costs as well as a higher loss from our equity share in Infineon. Before Siemens deconsolidated Infineon in December 2001 (the first quarter of fiscal 2002), the negative results from Infineon in October and November 2001 were included in Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury.

     Income before income taxes at SFS was 71 million, down from 83 million in the third quarter a year earlier, a period that included a high level of investment income.

     In the first nine months, SFS delivered 28% higher income before income taxes compared to the same period a year earlier, on the strength of income from an investment in Indonesia by the Equity division and lower provisions and write-downs at the Equipment and Sales Financing division.

     Total assets at June 30, 2003 were 8.009 billion, compared to 8.681 billion at the end of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to significant currency effects and as a result of lower leasing business volumes. Net cash from operating and investing activities was 300 million compared to 256 million for the first nine months of last year. EVA increased on stronger income.

     Third-quarter results for SRE rose year-over-year, to 77 million from 53 million, as gains from dispositions of real estate assets and reduced financing costs from lower interest rates more than offset the effects of lower occupancy rates.

     Income before income taxes for SRE for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 declined compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower occupancy rates, partially offset by lower financing costs. Nine-month sales were level with the prior-year period.

     Total assets at June 30, 2003 were 3.696 billion, compared to 4.090 billion at the end of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a reduction of real estate holdings. Net cash from operating and investing activities was 214 million, near the level of the first nine months a year earlier. EVA decreased, but remained positive.

SALES AND ORDER TRENDS IN THE FIRST NINE MONTHS

     Orders for the first nine months were 56.444 billion, down 16% from 66.854 billion a year earlier, and sales fell 13% to 54.455 billion from 62.726 billion. Excluding currency and the net effect of acquisitions and dispositions, the declines in orders and sales were 8% and 5%, respectively. Orders in Germany for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 were 12.654 billion, down 7% compared to the same period a year earlier. Sales in Germany decreased 7% to 12.282 billion. International orders dropped 18% year-over-year, to 43.790 billion. Excluding currency translation and the net effects of acquisitions and dispositions, the decline in international orders was 9%. International sales of 42.173 billion declined 15% year-over-year. Excluding currency translation and the net effects of acquisitions and dispositions, international sales decreased 5%.

     Orders in the U.S. for the first nine months were down 36%, to 10.786 billion. Sales in the U.S. declined 25%, to 11.517 billion, driven by expected volume declines at PG following the end of the gas turbine energy boom and by a negative 15% currency translation effect. Nine-month orders in Asia-Pacific fell 7% to 7.526 billion and sales fell 17% year-over-year, to 6.106 billion, in part due to currency translation and the net effect of acquisitions and dispositions. Sales in China fell 19% to 1.922 billion in the first nine months of the current fiscal year, due in large part to the effect of currency translation and dispositions.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Cash Flow — First nine months of fiscal 2003 compared to first nine months of fiscal 2002

     Net cash provided by operating activities of the Operations component for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 was 1.532 billion after 442 million in supplemental cash contributions to Siemens’ pension trusts in Germany and the U.K. Net cash provided by operating activities of the Operations component for the first nine months of last year was 4.202 billion. Changes in net working capital (current assets less current liabilities) within Operations used cash of 1.897 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared to cash provided of 274 million in the same period a year earlier. The current period reflects an increase of inventories, particularly at SD and TS, more than offset by a reduction in trade accounts receivable, particularly at ICN, A&D, I&S, SBT, and PG. Accounts payable decreased, in particular at SBS, PG, and SV, but did so in total at a lower level than in the prior nine-month period. Other current liabilities decreased, in particular at PG, due to lower advance payments resulting from order cancellations in the U.S.

Table of Contents

     Net cash used in investing activities within Operations was 2.482 billion in the first nine months of this fiscal year, including PG’s 505 million initial payment for the acquisition of Alstom’s industrial turbine business and significant increases in investments and marketable securities. Net cash used in investing activities within Operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 amounted to 684 million. The current period reflects further reductions in capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, particularly at ICN, PG and Osram. Investing activities in the first nine months a year ago included net proceeds of 945 million from transactions related to Atecs Mannesmann and Infineon. These included a cash payment of 3.657 billion to Vodafone AG to complete the Atecs transaction initiated in fiscal 2001 partly offset by 3.080 billion received in proceeds from the disposition of Atecs businesses held for sale. Sales of Infineon shares, which occurred in the first two quarters of fiscal 2002, generated proceeds totaling 1.522 billion.

     Net cash provided by operating activities within the Financing and Real Estate component for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 was 388 million supported by strong earnings, in particular from SFS. Net cash provided in the prior nine-month period was 589 million.

     Net cash provided by investing activities in Financing and Real Estate was 15 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared to net cash used of 206 million in the same period in the prior year. The prior period reflects a higher negative effect from the sale of accounts receivable by SFS, net of collections. During fiscal 2003, the Company has discontinued the use of the SieFunds asset securitization program.

     Net cash provided by operating activities of Siemens worldwide was 3.310 billion for the first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared to 4.347 billion for the same period a year earlier. The current nine-month period includes 442 million in supplemental cash contributions to Siemens’ pension trusts in Germany and U.K. Changes in net working capital used cash of 917 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared to cash used of 358 million in the same period in the prior year. In addition to the factors noted above, during the current nine-month period net cash includes decreases in other current assets and increases in other current liabilities at Corporate Treasury due to transactions in financial instruments related to our international business activities.

     Net cash used in investing activities of Siemens worldwide was 2.783 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 compared to 1.141 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2002. The current period reflects lower cash outlays for capital expenditures as noted above as well as approximately 850 million in increases in investments and marketable securities, while the prior year period included the receipt of net proceeds of 945 million related to Atecs and Infineon.

     For Siemens worldwide, net cash from operating and investing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 was 527 million, compared to 3.206 billion for the first nine months of fiscal 2002. For further information see the discussion of net cash from operating and investing activities in the Segment Information Analysis above.

     Net cash provided by financing activities for Siemens worldwide for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 was 823 million compared to net cash used of 1.456 billion for the same period a year earlier. The current period includes 2.5 billion from the issuance of notes, convertible into shares of Siemens AG. The total amount also includes 742 million for the repayment of debt, which includes the repurchase of notional 500 million of a bond exchangeable into Infineon shares.

     For Siemens worldwide, total net cash provided by operating activities of 3.310 billion, less cash used in investing activities of 2.783 billion, plus 823 million in cash provided by financing activities less the effects of currency translation, resulted in a 1.041 billion increase in cash and cash equivalents, to 12.237 billion.

Capital Developments

Debt

     In June 2003, the Company issued 2.5 billion of convertible notes through its wholly owned Dutch subsidiary, Siemens Finance B.V., which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Siemens AG. The convertible notes have a 1.375% coupon and are convertible into approximately 44.5 million shares of Siemens AG at a conversion price of 56.1681 per share, which is subject to change under certain circumstances. The conversion right is contingently exercisable by the holders upon the occurrence of one of several conditions, most notably, upon the Company’s share price having exceeded 110% of the conversion price on at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of any calendar quarter. The Company may, at any time after June 18, 2007, redeem the notes outstanding at their principal amount together with interest accrued thereon, if Siemens’ share price exceeds 130% of the conversion price on any 15 of 30 consecutive trading days before notice of early redemption. Unless previously redeemed, converted or repurchased and cancelled, the notes mature on June 4, 2010.

     As of June 30, 2003, Siemens has undrawn backstop facilities in the total amount of 3.8 billion. During the third quarter, the Company terminated its 1 billion revolving loan facility, which was to expire in February 2004, and entered into a new revolving loan facility with a domestic bank for an amount of up to 750 million and which expires in June 2008. As of the end of the third quarter, none of our backstop facilities contain ongoing Material Adverse Change clauses.

Equity

     At the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on January 23, 2003, our shareholders gave authorization to repurchase up to 10% of our outstanding shares at any time until July 22, 2004. Such stock may be (i) retired with the approval of the Supervisory Board, (ii) used to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the 1999 Siemens Stock Option Plan and the 2001 Siemens Stock Option Plan or (iii) offered for sale to employees within the employee share program. In addition, the Company is authorized by the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) to repurchase its shares to offer them for sale to its employees within the share programs. For further information with respect to the repurchase of shares for sale to employees see Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

     In addition, at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on January 23, 2003, our shareholders authorized the creation of new capital and authorized our Managing Board to issue convertible bonds and/or bonds with warrants. For further information, see Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Pension Plans

     Pension benefits provided by Siemens are currently organized primarily through defined benefit pension plans which cover virtually all of our domestic employees and many of our foreign employees. In order to fund Siemens’ obligations under the defined benefit plans, our major pension plans are funded with assets in segregated pension entities. These assets are managed by specialized asset managers. In general, the asset allocation is based on pension asset and liability studies and is regularly reviewed. Siemens has implemented custodian structures for these pension assets, which allow for a regular and consistent tracking and reporting on a worldwide basis. Current investment strategy is generally biased towards high quality government and selected corporate bonds. Recently, we increased the asset allocation of equity securities from 8% to 23%. Future investment decisions will be determined in consideration of market developments and are therefore subject to change.

(1)   As of June 30, 2003 estimated

     In the table above, asset values as of September 30, 2002 are determined based on specific measurement dates. The measurement date for the Siemens German Pension Trust (domestic trust) is September 30. The measurement date for our principal foreign pension plans, primarily those in the U.S. and the U.K., is June 30. As of June 30, 2003, asset values for both the Siemens German Pension Trust and the foreign pension plans are based on market values at June 30, 2003.

     Funding—In October 2002, supplemental contributions were made to the Siemens German Pension Trust totaling 635 million, comprising 377 million in real estate and 258 million in cash. A supplemental cash contribution of 184 million was also made in October 2002 to the U.K. pension plan. Regular funding during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2003 amounted to 147 million. Future funding decisions for the Group’s pension plans will be made based upon due consideration of developments affecting plan assets and pension liabilities as well as minimum funding requirements and local tax deductibility. Benefits paid during the nine- month period ended June 30, 2003, amounted to approximately 690 million.

     Investment Return—Investment returns for the Siemens German Pension Trust from October 1, 2002 to June 30, 2003 amounted to 617 million, or a positive 6.9% determined on an annualized basis. From October 1, 2002 to June 30, 2003, the principal foreign pension plans had a positive investment return of 522 million or 14.0% on an annualized basis. As a result of a plan measurement date of June 30, the fair value of the plan assets of certain foreign plans, primarily in the U.S. and the U.K., as of June 30, 2003 also reflects the change in net asset values for the period July 1 to September 30, 2002, which amounted to a negative 551 million.

     Asset Allocation—The table on the previous page details the allocation of assets in our principal pension benefit plans. During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2003 the remaining investment of the Siemens German Pension Trust in Infineon shares was sold.

     The interest and service cost components of net periodic pension cost for each fiscal year were determined based upon the Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) as of the measurement date which for the Siemens German Pension Trust is September 30, while for most foreign plans, it is June 30. The calculation of the expected return on plan assets component of net periodic pension cost was based on the rate provided for each respective year. For the Siemens German Pension Trust, the determination of the expected return on plan assets and the amortization of unrecognized losses components of net periodic pension costs are based on a market-related value of plan assets calculated using the average of historical market values of plan assets over the immediately preceding four quarters. For all other plans, the market-related value of plan assets is equal to the fair value of plan assets as of the measurement date.

     Net periodic pension cost—Total net periodic pension cost including service cost for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 is expected to be approximately 1.0 billion. For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2003, net periodic pension cost was 723 million compared to 305 million in the first nine months of the prior fiscal year. In fiscal 2002, total net periodic pension cost including service cost was 447 million. The increase in net periodic pension cost compared to fiscal 2002 results from two important factors. First, the Company adjusted the expected rate of return on plan assets for the most significant pension plans as a result of a revised asset allocation and in expectation of lower market returns.

28


Table of Contents

     This change results in a negative impact for the entire fiscal year 2003 of 220 million. Secondly, net periodic pension cost will increase in fiscal 2003 as a result of higher amortization of unrealized losses. These unrealized losses arose from negative developments in the international capital markets during fiscal years 2002 and 2001, together with the effect of the reduction of the plan discount rate assumption.

     The service cost and amortization of prior service cost components of net periodic pension cost for all of fiscal 2003 is expected to be approximately 500 million, the same amount as in fiscal 2002. The service cost component for the Siemens German Pension Trust (212 million in fiscal 2003) is currently reported in the Segment Information table centrally under Corporate items, pensions and eliminations, whereas the service cost and amortization of prior service cost components for the foreign pension plans (288 million in fiscal 2003) are allocated to the operating Groups. All other components of net periodic pension cost are reported centrally under Corporate items, pensions and eliminations for both the Siemens German Pension Trust and the foreign pension plans. Non-allocated pension related expense within Corporate items, pensions and eliminations will increase from 250 million in fiscal 2002 to approximately 780 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. In the statement of income, net periodic pension cost is allocated among the functional costs (cost of sales, research and development, marketing, selling and general administrative expense), according to the function of the employee groups accruing benefits.

EVA PERFORMANCE

     Siemens ties a portion of its executive incentive compensation to achieving economic value added (EVA) targets. EVA measures the profitability of a business (using Group profit for the Operations Groups and income before income taxes for the Financing and Real Estate businesses as a base) against the additional cost of capital used to run a business, (using Net capital employed for the Operations Groups and risk-adjusted equity for the Financing and Real estate businesses as a base). A positive EVA means that a business has earned more than its cost of capital, and is therefore defined as value-creating. A negative EVA means that a business is earning less than its cost of capital and is therefore defined as value-destroying. Other organizations that use EVA may define and calculate EVA differently.

     Siemens worldwide EVA for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 was positive but lower compared to the same period a year ago, due primarily to non-taxable gains of 936 million on sales of shares in Infineon which occurred in the first two quarters a year earlier. Excluding these gains, EVA increased compared to the prior-year period.

This Interim Report contains forward-looking statements based on beliefs of Siemens’ management.

SIEMENS AG

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of , except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)

1.     Basis of presentation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the operations of Siemens AG and its subsidiaries (the Company or Siemens). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). Siemens has prepared and reported its consolidated financial statements in euros (“”).

     Interim financial statements—The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2003, the consolidated statements of income and cash flow for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 are unaudited. The interim financial statements are based on the accounting principles and practices applied in the preparation of the financial statements for the last fiscal year except as indicated below. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. These interim financial statements should be read in connection with the Company’s financial statements and notes included in Siemens’ 2002 Annual Report. Results for the nine months ended June 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of future results.

     Financial statement presentation—The presentation of the Company’s worldwide financial data (“Siemens worldwide”) is enhanced by a component model presentation that shows the worldwide financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the operating business (“Operations”) separately from that for the financing and real estate activities (“Financing and Real Estate”), the Corporate Treasury and certain elimination and reclassification effects (“Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury”). These components contain the Company’s reportable segments (also referred to as “Groups”). The financial data presented for these components are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as if they were separate entities under U.S. GAAP. See also Note 15.

     Basis of consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Siemens AG and all subsidiaries which are directly or indirectly controlled. Results of associated companies—companies in which Siemens, directly or indirectly, has 20% to 50% of the voting rights and the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies—are recorded in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting.

     Use of estimates—The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent amounts at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Reclassification—The presentation of certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

     Accounting changesOn October 1, 2002, Siemens adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal use of the asset. SFAS 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Such estimates are generally determined based upon estimated future cash flows discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company will recognize a gain or loss on settlement. As a result of adopting SFAS 143, income of 59 (36 net of income taxes) has been recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, primarily in connection with the Company’s remediation and environmental accrual related to the decommissioning of the

facilities for the production of uranium and mixed-oxide fuel elements in Hanau, Germany (“Hanau facilities”) as well as the facilities in Karlstein, Germany (“Karlstein facilities”). See Note 10 for further information.

     On October 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supersedes SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 30, Reporting the Results of Operations – Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business. This statement establishes a single accounting model based on SFAS 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations. Major changes include additional criteria for long-lived assets to qualify as “held for sale” and the requirement that long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale be classified as held and used until the disposal transaction occurs. SFAS 144 retains the current requirement to separately report discontinued operations but expands that reporting to include a component of an entity (rather than only a segment of a business) that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. SFAS 144 requires long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale to be recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and to cease depreciation. Siemens applied the provisions of SFAS 144 prospectively and the adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

     In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with exit or disposal activities first be recognized when the liability is irrevocably incurred rather than at the date of management’s commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the standard include certain employee severance costs, contract termination costs and costs to consolidate or close facilities or relocate employees. In addition, SFAS 146 stipulates that the liability be measured at fair value and adjusted for changes in estimated cash flows. The provisions of the new standard are effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Siemens applied the provisions of SFAS 146 prospectively and the adoption of SFAS 146 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

     In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, which addresses the disclosure to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligation under guarantees. FIN 45 also requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for the non-contingent component of the guarantee, that is the obligation to stand ready to perform in the event that specified triggering events or conditions occur. The initial measurement of this liability is the fair value of the guarantee at inception. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of FIN 45 (see Note 12 for information about guarantees and for information related to product warranties, see below and Note 8) and has applied the recognition and measurement provisions for all guarantees entered into or modified after December 31, 2002.

     Accruals for product warranties are recorded in cost of sales at the time the related sale is recognized, and are established on an individual basis except for consumer products, which are accrued for on an aggregate basis. The estimates reflect historic trends of warranty costs as well as information regarding product failure experienced during construction, installation or testing of products. In the case of new products, expert opinions and industry data are also taken into consideration in estimating product warranty accruals.

     In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a final consensus on EITF Issue 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. This Issue addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities, specifically how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting. The Issue also addresses how arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting in the arrangement. The

guidance in this Issue is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF Issue 00-21 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

     In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, which amends SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The transition provisions are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The enhanced disclosure requirements are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2002 (see below).

     Pursuant to SFAS 123, Siemens has elected to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans (see Note 13).

     In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which interprets Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) 51, Consolidated Financial Statements. FIN 46 clarifies the application of ARB 51 with respect to the consolidation of certain entities (variable interest entities – “VIE’s”) to which the usual condition for consolidation described in ARB 51 does not apply because the controlling financial interest in VIE’s may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. In addition, FIN 46 requires the primary beneficiary of VIE’s and the holder of a significant variable interest in VIE’s to disclose certain information relating to their involvement with the VIE’s. The provisions of FIN 46 apply immediately to VIE’s created after January 31, 2003, and to VIE’s in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. FIN 46 applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to VIE’s in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company holds variable interests in various VIE’s which are not significant either individually or in the aggregate. While some of these VIE’s will require consolidation effective July 1, 2003, the impact on the Company’s financial statements will not be material.

     In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative, clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component and amends certain other definitions and existing pronouncements. The

statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003, and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 149 will have no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

2.     Acquisitions and dispositions

     On April 28, 2003 Siemens announced the signing of contracts towards the acquisition of the industrial turbine business of Alstom, in two transactions. In the first transaction, PG completed the acquisition of the small gas turbine business in April 2003, for a preliminary net purchase price of approximately 505. The Company has not finalized the purchase price allocation. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, approximately 100 was allocated to intellectual property rights, 140 to customer relationships and 50 was recorded as goodwill. Both the intellectual property rights and the customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 8 years and 15 years, respectively.

     In the second transaction, PG agreed to acquire the medium-sized gas and steam turbine businesses of Alstom for a total purchase price of approximately 525. The closing of this acquisition is subject to approval by the relevant antitrust authorities (see Note 16).

     In June 2003, Med contributed its Patient Care System and Electro Cardiography System businesses into a joint venture with Draegerwerk AG in exchange for a 35 percent interest in the joint venture Draeger Medical AG & Co. KGaA (Draeger Medical), headquartered in Luebeck, Germany. In connection with the contribution, Siemens realized a pretax gain of approximately 74. The contribution agreement obligates Siemens to contribute to Draeger Medical the net proceeds upon the sale of its Life Support Systems business. By consenting to this sale, Siemens and Draegerwerk AG received approval by antitrust authorities. Siemens' investment in Draeger Medical is accounted for using the equity method.
