These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2001, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ Ernst & Young, LLP --------------------- ERNST & YOUNG, LLP Houston, Texas May 6, 2002 -1- COMPAQ COMPUTER CORPORATION 401 (K) INVESTMENT PLAN STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DECEMBER 31, 2001 2000 -------------------------------------- ASSETS Investments $ 3,030,777,096 $ 3,310,800,451 Contribution receivable: Employer 112,722 114,816 Participant - 151,721 --------------- --------------- Net assets available for benefits $ 3,030,889,818 $ 3,311,066,988 =============== =============== See accompanying notes. -2- COMPAQ COMPUTER CORPORATION 401(k) INVESTMENT PLAN STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 ------------------ Additions: Participant contributions $ 208,310,362 Employer contributions 123,045,148 Rollovers 10,028,456 Dividends and interest 72,574,120 ------------ Total additions 413,958,086 Deductions: Net depreciation in fair value of investments 459,749,170 Benefit payments 237,384,752 ----------- Total deductions 697,133,922 Transfer to other qualified plan (1,554,886) Transfer from other qualified plans 4,553,552 ------------- Net decrease (280,177,170) Net assets available for benefits: Beginning of year 3,311,066,988 ------------- End of year $ 3,030,889,818 ================ See accompanying notes. -3- COMPAQ COMPUTER CORPORATION 401(K) INVESTMENT PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN ---------------------- GENERAL The following description of the Compaq Computer Corporation 401(k) Investment Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information only. The Plan, established April 1, 1985, is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees of Compaq Computer Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Company"). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions, a copy of which is available from the Company. The Plan was restated in its entirety effective January 1, 2001 to amend the Plan to comply with tax legislation acts and to reflect certain provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. Effective September 4, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization with Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP") and Heloise Merger Corporation. Effective May 3, 2002, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of HP. Effective January 2, 2001, in connection with certain divestitures, net assets of approximately $1.6 million representing individual account balances of certain participants were transferred to the B2E Solutions 401(k) Plan. Effective December 31, 2001, individual account balances from B2E Solutions 401(k) Plan of approximately $1.6 million were returned to the Plan. Effective December 31, 2001, net assets of approximately $2.9 million representing individual account balances returned to the Plan from Ranier Technology, Inc. 401(k) Plan. CONTRIBUTIONS Participants may contribute from 1% to 19% of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the plan document. Participants may also rollover amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. -4- The Company contributes an amount equal to the participant's contribution which does not exceed 6% of $170,000 of base compensation for all participants except certain former employees of Digital Equipment Corporation ("Digital"). For those former Digital employees who had elected to earn employer pay credits in another company-sponsored benefit plan, so long as they remain eligible, the Company contributes an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 33 1/3% of such participant's contributions or (ii) 2% of the participant's compensation, not to exceed $170,000 of base compensation, to the 401(k) plan and contributes the remaining 4% as an employer credit in the other company-sponsored benefit plan. Participants direct the investment allocation of all contributions. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and allocations of (a) the Company's contribution, and (b) Plan earnings or losses, and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses, if any. Forfeited balances of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are used to reduce future Company contributions or pay eligible plan expenses. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account, net of any outstanding loans against those vested amounts. VESTING Participants are immediately vested in their deferral and rollover contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of service. Effective January 1, 1999, participants vest 20% per year in the employer contributions with 100% vesting after 5 years of credited service. The Plan document provides the vesting provisions for a participant's interest in their employer contribution account prior to January 1, 1999. -5- PARTICIPANT LOANS Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from 1 - 5 years or up to 30 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a fixed rate of 1% above the prime rate for the term of the loan. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions. A participant can have no more than three loans outstanding at any given time. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS On termination of service or death, a participant or beneficiary may elect to receive Plan benefits in either a lump-sum distribution or in periodic installments. In addition, a participant who has attained age 59 1/2 may make withdrawals of his or her account while employed by the Company. The Plan also allows for hardship withdrawals. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES The Company pays certain administrative expenses of the Plan. PLAN TERMINATION Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts. 2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES --------------------------------- BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial statements have been prepared under the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Benefits are recorded when paid. -6- INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, which represents the quoted market price on the last business day of the Plan year. Shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The Company stock is valued at its quoted market price. Investments in common collective trust funds are based on the quoted market value as determined by the issuer based on the fair value of the underlying investments. The participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximates fair value. The Stable Value Fund is stated at fair value, which approximates contract value. It is expected that each unit of the Stable Value Fund will maintain a constant net asset value of $1. However, there is no assurance that this will be the case. Contract value represents contributions made plus interest accrued at the contract rate, less withdrawals. Insurance contracts and bank contracts are nontransferable, but provide for benefit-responsive withdrawals by Plan participants at contract value in accordance with Statement of Position 94-4. The Stable Value Fund invests in both guaranteed investment contracts and alternative investment contracts. The guaranteed investment contracts are promises by an insurance company or bank to repay principal plus accrued income at contract maturity subject to the credit worthiness of the issuer. Alternative investment contracts consist of investments together with contracts under which a bank or other institution provides for benefit responsive withdrawals by Plan participants at contract value. In determining fair value, the Board of Directors of the Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company considers such factors as the benefit responsiveness of the investment contracts, the ability of the parties to perform in accordance with the terms of the contracts, and the likelihood that plan-directed withdrawals would cause payments to Plan participants to be at amounts other than contract value. There are no limitations on liquidity guarantees and no valuation reserves are being recorded to adjust contract amounts. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. -7- RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES The Plan provides for various investments in common stock, mutual funds, and the Stable Value Fund. In general, investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits and participant account balances. 3. INVESTMENTS -------------- The Plan's investments are held by Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company. Individual investments that represent 5% or more of net assets available for benefits at year end are as follows: December 31 2001 2000 --------------------------------- Compaq Computer Corporation common stock $ 297,575,020 $ 432,074,249 Compaq Computer Corporation Stable Value Fund 616,237,472 631,185,879 Vanguard 500 Index Fund 600,928,759 502,477,388 Vanguard Primecap Fund 583,842,804 683,230,825 Vanguard Growth and Income Fund 324,084,769 457,833,888 Franklin Small - Mid Cap Growth Fund, Class A 137,365,252 197,662,444 During 2001, the Plan's investments (including investments bought, sold, and held during the year) appreciated/(depreciated) in value as follows: Mutual funds $ (316,030,212) Common collective trusts 11,489,674 Common stock (155,208,632) ------------- $ (459,749,170) =============== -8- The average yield of the Stable Value Fund for 2001 and 2000 was 6.24% and 6.86%, respectively. The crediting interest rates at December 31, 2001 and 2000 range from 4.50% to 7.84% and 5.64% to 7.84%, respectively. Investment contracts typically mature between 2 and 5 years after the date of initial deposit. The interest rate paid by the issuer or contract rate may be fixed over the life of the contract or adjusted periodically. Contract rates should not fall below -0-%. 4. INCOME TAX STATUS -------------------- The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") dated January 3, 1995, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan document was completely restated subsequent to its submission for a determination letter. On February 25, 2002, the Company submitted a request to the IRS for a determination on the restated plan document. The Company has indicated that it will take the necessary steps, if any, to maintain the Plan's qualified status. 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS -------------------- Effective May 3, 2002, any active employee of the Company and any former employee who had an account balance under the Plan as of May 3, 2002 was made fully vested in any unvested and unforfeited balance they may have had under the Plan as of this date. In addition, any former employee (including a beneficiary or alternate payee of a former employee) with an account balance in the Plan as of May 3, 2002 is prohibited from further investments in the Compaq Stock Fund (which became the Hewlett-Packard Stock Fund effective May 3, 2002), and any dividend payments or loan repayment that would have been invested in the Hewlett-Packard Stock Fund will be invested in the Stable Value Fund. -9- SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE -10- COMPAQ COMPUTER CORPORATION 401(K) INVESTMENT PLAN EIN: 76-0011617 PN: 001 SCHEDULE H, LINE 4(I) - SCHEDULE OF ASSETS (HELD AT END OF YEAR) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IDENTITY OF ISSUE, BORROWER, LESSOR, OR CURRENT SIMILAR PARTY DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENT VALUE ------------- ------------------------- ----- * Compaq Computer Corporation Common stock $ 297,575,020 Franklin Small - Mid Cap Growth Fund, Class A 137,365,252 Capital Guardian International Equity Fund 105,195,428 T.
