INTRODUCTION
Effective with the first quarter of fiscal 2007, Siemens prepares its primary financial reporting according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For fiscal year end 2006, our primary financial reporting was still under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). In addition, we published our first IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements as supplemental information in December 2006. We generally prepare the Interim Report as an update of our Annual Report, with a focus on the current period. The supplemental IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements serve as a basis for our primary IFRS reporting beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and as such, the Interim Report should be read in conjunction with these IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements and our Annual Report.

Management’s discussion and analysis
                 
Overview of financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2007
    Group profit from Operations rose 51%, to 1.631 billion.
 
    Strong operating profit growth was not evident in net income of 788 million, which included a 423 million negative impact from Siemens’ share of European Commission sanctions on major suppliers of certain power transmission and distribution products.
 
    Income from continuing operations also included the sanction effect, but still rose 18%, to 714 million.
 
    Revenue increased 6% to 19.068 billion compared to the prior-year period, and orders rose 4%, to 24.582 billion. On a comparable basis, excluding currency translation effects and the net effect of acquisitions and dispositions, revenue and orders increased 10% and 8%, respectively.
 
    On a continuing basis, net cash used in operating and investing activities was 1.160 billion compared to net cash used of 724 million in the first quarter a year earlier.
     We believe that in terms of the underlying performance of Siemens’ business, the first quarter got the fiscal year off to a strong start. Order growth was particularly satisfying, considering that the prior-year basis of comparison was already quite high. We also brought more of our revenue growth to the bottom line, with a substantial increase in Group profit from Operations. While it is disappointing to see net income growth reversed by an impact from events in the past, Siemens is moving on with its tremendously improved operations year-over-year. This shows that Fit4More is delivering a more profitable and growth-oriented portfolio for Siemens, and we are continuing in that direction by closing the deals we announced last year and initiating new ones. We look forward to maintaining this momentum.
     In the first quarter of fiscal 2007, ending December 31, 2006, Siemens reported net income of 788 million, a decrease of 16% compared to 939 million in the prior-year period. Basic earnings per share were 0.83 and diluted earnings per share were 0.80. In the first quarter a year earlier, both basic and diluted earnings per share were 0.99. Discontinued operations, primarily the businesses formerly reported as the Communications (Com) segment, contributed 74 million to net income in the first quarter. In the same period a year earlier, earnings of discontinued operations of 332 million included a 356 million gain on the sale of shares in Juniper Networks, Inc. (Juniper) only partially offset by 142 million in severance charges. Excluding discontinued operations, income from continuing operations was 714 million in the first quarter, an increase of 18% compared to 607 million in the same period a year earlier. On a continuing basis, basic earnings per share were 0.75 and diluted earnings per share were 0.73. In the first quarter of the prior year, both basic and diluted earnings per share were 0.64.
     The primary driver of growth in income from continuing operations was Group profit from Operations, which rose 51% year-over-year, to 1.631 billion. All Groups within Operations reported positive results, and the majority increased both Group profit and profit margin compared to the first quarter a year ago. Automation and Drives (A&D) led all Groups with 450 million in Group profit, followed by Medical Solutions (Med), Power Generation (PG) and Siemens VDO Automotive (SV). Siemens Business Services (SBS) posted a profit compared to a substantial loss in the first quarter a year earlier.
     Net income in the first quarter included a penalty of 423 million arising from a previously disclosed European Commission antitrust investigation, involving providers of certain gas-isolated switchgear (GIS) in the power transmission and distribution industry between 1988 and 2004. The penalty, which is not tax-deductible, was taken within Corporate items. For additional information, see “—Corporate items” and “Note 12 to Consolidated Financial Statements.” Net income was positively influenced by Corporate Treasury earnings, which under IFRS swung from a negative 312 million in the first quarter a year ago to a positive 46 million in the current quarter. The prior-year period included a 315 million negative effect related to the cash settlement option on a convertible bond. Earnings from Financing and Real Estate activities were 152 million compared to 182 million in the first quarter a year earlier.
     First-quarter revenue increased 6% year-over-year, to 19.068 billion. Orders of 24.582 billion were 4% higher compared to the strong first quarter a year earlier. Excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, first-quarter revenue rose 10% and orders climbed 8% year-over-year. Revenue growth was balanced regionally, while order growth was concentrated in the Americas, the Middle East, and Europe including Germany. Double-digit contributions to revenue growth came from PG, Power Transmission and Distribution (PTD), A&D and Siemens Building Technologies (SBT), while order growth was driven by double-digit increases at PTD, PG and Industrial Solutions and Services (I&S).

For Siemens on a continuing basis, net cash used in operating and investing activities was 1.160 billion compared to 724 million in the first quarter a year earlier. The difference is due primarily to the first payment of 0.4 billion for the acquisition of the diagnostics division of Bayer AG.

First-quarter revenue in Germany rose 2%, to 3.900 billion, while orders increased 6% year-over-year, to 4.871 billion. International activities accounted for the remaining approximately 80% of revenue and orders in the first quarter. The fastest growth on a regional basis came in the Middle East/Africa/Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) area, where revenue rose 16%, to 1.585 billion, and orders climbed 11%, to 2.429 billion. Asia-Pacific revenue grew 15%, to 2.697 billion, while orders of 3.092 billion came in below the prior-year period which included unusually high order volume, particularly in China and India. In the Americas, revenue of 4.948 billion and orders of 6.384 billion were 4% and 15% higher, respectively, than in the first quarter a year ago. Adjusting for currency translation and portfolio effects, revenue and orders in the region were up 13% and 25%. In Europe outside Germany, revenue rose 4%, to 5.938 billion, and orders were up 8%, at 7.806 billion.

     Research and development expenses were 4.1% of revenue, down from 4.4% in the first quarter a year earlier. Marketing, selling and general administrative expenses also declined as a percent of revenue, to 14.9% from 16.7% in the prior-year period, primarily due to an improved cost position at SBS. Other operating income increased compared to the prior year. The first quarter of fiscal 2007 included substantial gains from portfolio activities, particularly a gain from the sale of the Transportation Systems (TS) locomotive leasing business. Both periods benefited from gains on sales of real estate, which were higher in the prior year. Other operating expense increased significantly compared to the prior year. The current quarter included a penalty of 423 million imposed by the European Commission antitrust investigation. For additional information, see “Note 12 to Consolidated Financial Statements.” Other operating expense also included 50 million primarily to fund job placement companies for former Siemens employees affected by the bankruptcy of BenQ Mobile GmbH & Co. OHG.

Financial income, net was a negative 5 million compared to a negative 262 million in the first quarter a year earlier. The difference resulted primarily from a negative 315 million effect in the prior-year quarter, related to mark-to-market valuation of the cash settlement option associated with a 2.5 billion convertible bond issued by Siemens in 2003. This option was irrevocably waived in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, effectively eliminating subsequent earnings effects.

     In the first quarter, income from continuing operations before income taxes rose by 38% to 1.065 billion despite the penalty of 423 million mentioned above, due to improved Group profit from Operations, with significant improvements at SBS and A&D. The income tax rate increased from 21% to 33%, primarily due to the non-tax deductibility of the penalty. The effects described above resulted in an income from continuing operations in the first quarter of 714 million, 18% higher than in the prior-year period. Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes was 74 million compared to 332 million in the prior-year, which included a gain of 356 million on sales of Juniper shares only partially offset by 142 million in severance charges. Net income came in at 788 million compared to 939 million in the same period a year earlier. In the first quarter, net income attributable to shareholders of Siemens AG was 739 million, after 886 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

     SBS posted Group profit of 24 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. For comparison, the Group’s loss in the first quarter a year earlier included 207 million in severance charges. First-quarter revenue of 1.180 billion and orders of 1.217 billion were lower than a year earlier due to the Group’s divestment of its Product Related Services division between the periods under review. On an adjusted basis, revenue and orders were up 6% and 8%, respectively.

     A&D increased first-quarter Group profit 25%, to a new high of 450 million, on 14% revenue growth. A&D continued to benefit from strong operating leverage, resulting in a broad-based increase in earnings and profitability year-over-year. A&D also posted broad-based growth in first-quarter revenue and orders, which reached 3.390 billion and 4.019 billion, respectively. Demand growth in Europe was highlighted by particularly strong order intake in Germany. Effective with the beginning of fiscal 2007, results for A&D include Siemens’ wireless module activities (formerly part of Com) on a retroactive basis.
     After the close of the first quarter, Siemens announced an agreement to acquire U.S.-based UGS Corp., one of the leading providers of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services for manufacturers. For additional information, see “—Subsequent events.”

     Strong demand continued across PG’s entire range of power generation solutions, as first-quarter revenue rose 31% year-over-year, to 2.726 billion, and orders climbed 24%, to a new quarterly high of 5.017 billion. New fossil power generation contracts were well distributed geographically, including major orders in Africa, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Middle East. The Group’s industrial and wind power businesses both posted sharply higher earnings and profit margins compared to the same quarter a year earlier. Group profit of 169 million for PG overall came in below the prior-year level, however, as the fossil power generation business took 92 million in charges related to cost overruns and delays on a major project in Finland. In addition, equity earnings from joint ventures were lower than in the first quarter a year earlier and are expected to remain volatile in coming quarters.

     PTD delivered 130 million in Group profit in the first quarter, 59% higher than in the same period a year earlier. Profitability also rose substantially, as a majority of the Group’s divisions posted higher earnings and profit margins. The 423 million penalty arising from a previously disclosed European Commission antitrust investigation is taken centrally in Corporate items. For additional information, see “—Corporate items” and “Note 12 to Consolidated Financial Statements.” First-quarter revenue for the Group climbed 19% year-over-year, to 1.728 billion. Orders of 3.146 billion, fueled by an exceptionally large contract in the Middle East, were up 27% compared to a strong first quarter a year ago.

     TS recorded Group profit of 47 million in the first quarter. A net gain of 76 million on the sale of the Group’s locomotive leasing business was largely offset by charges related to major projects. First-quarter revenue of 1.073 billion came in above the prior-year level. Orders exceeded revenue but came in well below the level of the prior-year quarter, which included an exceptionally large order in China.

Strategic Equity Investments (SEI)
     Beginning in fiscal 2007, Siemens reports certain strategic investments accounted for under the equity method in a new segment, Strategic Equity Investments (SEI). During the first quarter, SEI consisted of Fujitsu Siemens Computers (Holding) BV (FSC) and BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH (BSH). These investments were formerly included within Other Operations. A new company announced by Siemens and Nokia Corporation in fiscal 2006, to be called Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN), will be included in SEI following the expected close of the NSN transaction. In the first quarter, SEI contributed earnings of 52 million compared to 46 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase was attributable to BSH.
Other Operations
     Other Operations consist of centrally held operating businesses not related to a Group, including Siemens Home and Office Communication Devices (SHC). Group profit from Other Operations was 24 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. A year earlier, a negative 13 million in Group profit from Other Operations was due primarily to losses at Siemens’ Dematic businesses, which were divested between the periods under review.
Reconciliation to Financial Statements
     Reconciliation to financial statements includes various categories of items which are not allocated to the Groups because the Managing Board has determined that such items are not indicative of Group performance.
Corporate items, pensions and eliminations
     Corporate items, pensions and eliminations totaled a negative 663 million in the first quarter, compared to a negative 91 million a year earlier. The change was due mostly to an increase within Corporate items, which included a 423 million negative impact from Siemens’ share of European Commission sanctions on major suppliers of certain power transmission and distribution products. For additional information with respect to these sanctions, see “Note 12 to Consolidated Financial Statements.” The fine was taken centrally because the Managing Board does not regard it to be indicative of PTD’s current performance. In addition, the change year-over-year includes the effects related to commodity hedging activities not qualifying for hedge accounting and 54 million primarily to fund job placement companies for former Siemens employees affected by the bankruptcy of BenQ Mobile GmbH & Co. OHG. Pension expense increased year-over-year, from a positive 23 million to a negative 30 million, primarily due to a one-time charge resulting from a change in German law.
Other interest expense
     Other interest expense of Operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was 101 million compared to interest expense of 85 million a year earlier.

     Income before income taxes at SRE was 69 million, including a high level of real estate sales. The same factor was even more significant in the first quarter a year earlier, when income before income taxes reached 104 million. Assets remained nearly unchanged compared to the level at the end of fiscal 2006.
Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury
     Income before taxes from eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury was 46 million compared to a negative 312 million a year earlier. The difference resulted primarily from a negative 315 million effect under IFRS in the prior-year quarter, related to mark-to-market valuation of the cash settlement option associated with a 2.5 billion convertible bond issued by Siemens in 2003. This option was irrevocably waived in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, effectively eliminating subsequent earnings effects. In the current quarter, higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents and from intra-company financing was more than offset by higher interest expense associated with the issuance of bonds between the periods under review.
Liquidity, capital resources and capital requirements
Cash flow — First three months of fiscal 2007 compared to first three months of fiscal 2006
     The following discussion presents an analysis of Siemens’ cash flows for the three-month period ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. The first table presents cash flow for continuing and discontinued operations. Discontinued operations include Siemens’ carrier-related operations and the enterprise networks business as well as the Mobile Devices business. For further information on discontinued operations, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” The second table focuses on cash flow from continuing operations for the components of Siemens.

     Net cash used in operating and investing activities was 2.210 billion in the first quarter compared to 899 million in the same period a year earlier. Discontinued operations were the main factor in the difference year-over-year. In the first quarter a year ago, net cash used in discontinued operations was 175 million, which benefited from 465 million in proceeds from the sale of Juniper shares. In the current period, discontinued operations used net cash of 1.050 billion, including a higher build-up of net working capital. On a continuing basis, Siemens in the first quarter used 1.160 billion in net cash from operating and investing activities compared to 724 million used in the same period a year earlier.

     Within Operations, net cash used in operating activities was 401 million in the first quarter compared to 61 million in net cash provided in the same period a year earlier. Income tax payments were significantly higher in the current period at 554 million compared to 212 million a year earlier. Net working capital increased by a lower amount during the quarter compared to the prior year. Within Corporate Treasury, Financing and Real Estate, operating activities provided net cash of 700 million in the first three months of fiscal 2007, compared to net cash provided of 425 million a year earlier. For Siemens as a whole, net cash provided by operating activities was 299 million in the first three months of fiscal 2007 compared to 486 million in the prior-year period.
     Operations used net cash in investing activities of 1.001 billion in the first quarter of the current year, compared to 881 million a year earlier. Higher cash outflows for acquisitions in the current year include a 0.4 billion first payment for Bayer’s diagnostics business at Med and a payment to acquire AG Kühnle, Kopp & Kausch at PG. Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment decreased year-over-year. Corporate Treasury, Financing and Real Estate used net cash in investing activities of 458 million compared to 329 million a year earlier. Siemens as a whole used net cash in investing activities of 1.459 billion in the first three months of fiscal 2007 compared to net cash used of 1.210 billion in the same period a year earlier.
     Financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 provided net cash of 850 million compared to net cash used of 423 million a year earlier. The change in short-term debt of 1.022 billion in the current period reflects proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper under the U.S.$-Commercial Paper program. The change in short-term debt in the prior period was a negative 213 million.
Capital resources and capital requirements
Ratings
     On December 11, 2006, Standard & Poor’s changed its outlook from “CreditWatch negative” to “negative.” Neither Standard & Poor’s nor Moody’s Investors Service changed its long-term or its short-term credit rating.
Debt
     The amount outstanding under the U.S.$-Commercial Paper program increased to U.S.$1.3 billion (1.0 billion) as of December 31, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, no commercial paper was outstanding.
     As of December 31, 2006, the Company’s available lines of credit were unused. In January 2007, Siemens made use of the U.S.$ credit facility by drawing the U.S.$1 billion term loan (0.8 billion).
Guarantees
     For information on guarantees and other commitments, see “Note 11 to Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Pension plan funding
     At the end of the first three months of fiscal 2007, the combined funding status of Siemens’ principal pension plans showed an estimated underfunding of 2.0 billion, compared to an underfunding of 2.9 billion at the end of fiscal 2006. The improvement in funding status was primarily due to regular contributions and the actual return on plan assets. Pension service and interest cost were offset by a slight increase in the discount rate assumption at December 31, 2006, reducing Siemens estimated defined benefit obligation (DBO).

Table of Contents

     The fair value of plan assets of Siemens’ principal funded pension plans on December 31, 2006 was 24.4 billion, compared to 23.8 billion on September 30, 2006. In the first three months of fiscal 2007, regular employer contributions amounted to 316 million compared to 362 million in the first three months of the prior fiscal year.
     The estimated DBO for Siemens’ principal pension plans amounted to 26.4 billion on December 31, 2006. This was approximately 300 million lower than the DBO of 26.7 billion on September 30, 2006. This decrease was due to the net of pension service and interest cost less benefits paid during the three-month period which was more than offset by a slight increase in the discount rate assumption at December 31, 2006.
     For more information on Siemens’ pension plans, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Legal proceedings
     For information on legal proceedings, see “Note 12 to Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Subsequent events
     In fiscal 2006, Siemens signed an agreement to acquire the diagnostics division of Bayer Aktiengesellschaft. The acquisition, which will be integrated into Med, will enable Siemens to expand its position in the growing molecular diagnostics market. The acquisition was completed on January 2, 2007. The estimated purchase price, payable in cash, amounts to 4.4 billion (including cash acquired).
     On January 24, Siemens announced an agreement to acquire U.S.-based UGS Corp., one of the leading providers of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services for manufacturers, from its current owners Bain Capital Partners, L.L.C., Silver Lake Technology Management, L.L.C. and Warburg Pincus, L.L.C. The aggregate consideration, including the assumption of debt, amounts to approximately U.S.$3.5 billion (approximately 2.7 billion). Upon approval of the transaction by relevant regulatory authorities, the activities of UGS will become part of A&D.
     On January 24, Siemens announced that it plans an initial public offering of a minority of shares in SV.
     This Interim Report contains forward-looking statements and information — that is, statements related to future, not past, events. These statements may be identified by words as “expects,” “looks forward to,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “will” or words of similar meaning. Such statements are based on our current expectations and certain assumptions, and are, therefore, subject to certain risks and uncertainties. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond Siemens’ control, affect its operations, performance, business strategy and results and could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Siemens worldwide to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For us, particular uncertainties arise, among others, from: changes in general economic and business conditions (including margin developments in major business areas); the challenges of integrating major acquisitions and implementing joint ventures and other significant portfolio measures; changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates; introduction of competing products or technologies by other companies; lack of acceptance of new products or services by customers targeted by Siemens worldwide; changes in business strategy; the outcome of investigations and legal proceedings as well as various other factors. More detailed information about certain of these factors is contained in Siemens’ filings with the SEC, which are available on the Siemens website, www.siemens.com and on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the relevant forward-looking statement as expected, anticipated, intended, planned, believed sought, estimated or projected. Siemens does not intend or assume any obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated.

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

NOTES

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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). In addition to its primary financial reporting for fiscal 2006 under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP), in December 2006 the Company also published its first IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2006). These IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements were presented as supplemental information and serve as a basis for Siemens’ primary IFRS reporting beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

     Siemens prepares and reports its Consolidated Financial Statements in euros (). Siemens is a German based multinational corporation with a balanced business portfolio of activities predominantly in the field of electronics and electrical engineering.

     Interim financial statements—The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2006, the Consolidated Statements of Income, Income and Expense Recognized in Equity and Cash Flows for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared for interim financial information. These interim financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim financial reporting, and should be read in connection with the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements prepared for fiscal 2006 as indicated above. The interim financial statements are based on the accounting principles and practices applied in the preparation of the IFRS financial statements for fiscal 2006 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. Results for the three months ended December 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of future results.

     Financial statement presentation—The presentation of the Company’s worldwide financial data (Siemens) is accompanied by a component model presentation that shows the worldwide financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the operating businesses (Operations) separately from those for 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 IFRS. See also Note 15. The information disclosed in these Notes relates to Siemens unless otherwise stated.

     Basis of consolidation—The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Siemens AG and its subsidiaries which are directly or indirectly controlled. Control is generally conveyed by ownership of the majority of voting rights. Additionally, the Company consolidates special purpose entities (SPE’s) when, based on the evaluation of the substance of the relationship with Siemens, the Company concludes that it controls the SPE. Associated companies—companies in which Siemens has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies (generally through direct or indirect ownership of 20% to 50% of the voting rights)—are recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements using the equity method of accounting. Companies in which Siemens has joint control are also recorded using the equity method.

     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 year presentation.

     Segment information— In November 2006, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRS 8, Operating Segments. IFRS 8 replaces IAS 14, Segment Reporting, and aligns segment reporting with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, except for some minor differences.

     IFRS 8 requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments. Reportable segments are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing

(in millions of , except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)

performance. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the same basis as is used internally for evaluating operating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to operating segments.

     IFRS 8 is effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. However, Siemens decided to early adopt IFRS 8 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. See Note 15 for further information on segment information.

2. Dispositions and discontinued operations

     a) Dispositions

     At the beginning of October 2006, the Company sold Siemens Dispolok GmbH Germany, which was part of the Group Transportation Systems (TS), to Mitsui Group. The transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain, net of related costs of 76, which is included in Other operating income.

     b) Discontinued Operations

     In June 2006, Siemens and Nokia Corporation (Nokia), Finland announced an agreement to contribute the carrier-related operations of Siemens and the Networks Business Group of Nokia into a new company, to be called Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN), in exchange for shares in NSN. Siemens and Nokia will each own an economic share of approximately 50% of NSN. Siemens expects to account for its investment in NSN using the equity method. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals (such approvals have already been received from the European Union and the U.S.), the completion of closing conditions, agreement on a number of detailed implementation steps, as well as the results and consequences of a compliance review at Siemens’ carrier-related operations (for further information see Note 15). Siemens expects to realize a gain on this transaction.

     The Company also plans to dispose of its enterprise networks business in fiscal 2007. The Mobile Devices (MD) business was included in Communications (Com) prior to its sale. As of December 31, 2006, the remaining business activities of Com that are not held for disposal are part of Other Operations and A&D (see Note 15 for further information). Except for these businesses, the historical results of Com are reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented.

     The assets and liabilities of the carrier networks business and the enterprise networks business were classified on the balance sheet as held for disposal and measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

     The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for disposal were as follows:

                 
    December 31,   September 30,

The transaction resulted in a non-taxable gain of 356 which is reported in Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes.

     The income tax (charge) benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 related to discontinued operations includes deferred tax benefits generated on pre-tax losses in jurisdictions with higher statutory income tax rates that were only partially offset by income tax expense generated on pre-tax income in jurisdictions with lower statutory income tax rates.

     Within Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities dividends paid to minority shareholders include 12 and 9, respectively, relating to discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

     The Federal Republic of Germany has commissioned a consortium consisting of SBS and IBM Deutschland GmbH (IBM) to modernize and operate the non-military information and communications technology of the German Federal Armed Forces (Bundeswehr). This project is called HERKULES. A project company, BWI Informationstechnik GmbH (BWI) will provide the services required by the terms of the contract. SBS is a shareholder in the project company. The total contract value amounts to a maximum of approximately 6 billion. In connection with the consortium and execution of the contract between BWI and the Federal Republic of Germany in December 2006, Siemens issued several guarantees connected to each other legally and economically in favor of the Federal Republic of Germany and of the consortium member IBM. The guarantees ensure that BWI has sufficient resources to provide the required services and to fulfill its contractual obligations. These guarantees are listed as a separate item “HERKULES obligations” in the table above due to their compound and multilayer nature. Total future payments potentially required by Siemens amount to 4.2 billion and will be reduced by approximately 400 per year over the 10-year contract period. Yearly payments under these guarantees are limited to 400 plus, if applicable, a maximum of 90 in unused guarantees carried forward from the prior year.

12. Legal proceedings
     On December 12, 2006, the Japanese Fair Trade Commission (FTC) searched the offices of over 10 producers and dealers of healthcare equipment, including Siemens Asahi Medical Technologies Ltd., in connection with an investigation into possible anti-trust violations. Siemens Asahi Medical Technologies is cooperating with the FTC in the on-going investigation.
     On January 24, 2007, the European Commission announced its decision to fine the major European and Japanese producers of high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear for alleged antitrust violations in the European Market between 1988 and 2004. Gas-insulated switchgear is electrical equipment used as a major component for turnkey power substations. The fine imposed on Siemens amounts to 396.6. The fine imposed on VA Tech, which Siemens has acquired in July 2005, amounts to 22.1. Furthermore VA Tech was declared jointly liable with Schneider Electric for a separate fine of 4.5. The European Commission has not yet issued the grounds for its decision. The investigation of the European Commission started in May 2004. Siemens has cooperated with the investigation but disagrees with the decision and intends to challenge the fine in court.
     As previously reported, Munich public prosecutors are conducting an investigation of certain current and former employees of the Company on suspicion of embezzlement, bribery and tax evasion. Arrest warrants were issued for former and currently suspended employees of our Com business Group who were taken into custody, questioned and later released. In December 2006, the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Com was arrested, questioned and released. Siemens’ former Chief Financial Officer (CFO) was interrogated as a suspect by the public prosecutor. Both of these individuals are former members of the Corporate Executive Committee of Siemens. The Munich prosecutor’s investigation as well as related investigations in Liechtenstein and Switzerland are ongoing. In Greece, public prosecutors are also conducting an investigation with regard to a former officer of Siemens Greece and have questioned the CEO and another employee of Siemens Greece as witnesses. In January 2007, the former officer paid over to Siemens approximately 7.8 in funds Siemens believes were misappropriated. The U.S. Department of Justice is conducting an investigation of possible criminal violations of U.S. law by Siemens in connection with these matters. Siemens understands that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s enforcement division is conducting an informal inquiry into the matters at this time. With regard to the foregoing matters, the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board has engaged an independent external law firm to conduct an independent and comprehensive investigation to determine whether anti-corruption regulations have been violated and to conduct an independent and comprehensive assessment of the compliance and control systems of Siemens.
     Siemens currently cannot exclude the possibility that criminal or civil sanctions may be brought against the Company itself or against certain of its employees in connection with possible violations of law. The Company’s operating activities may also be negatively affected due to imposed penalties, compensatory damages or due to the exclusion from public procurement contracts. To date, no charges or provisions for any such penalties or damages have been accrued as management does not yet have enough information to reasonably estimate such amounts. Furthermore, changes affecting the Company’s course of business or its compliance programs may turn out to be necessary.
     Siemens AG and its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various legal actions and proceedings arising in connection with their activities as a global diversified group. Some of the legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. In the ordinary course of business, Siemens may also be involved in investigations and administrative and governmental proceedings. Given the number of legal actions and other proceedings to which Siemens is subject, some may result in adverse decisions. Siemens contests actions and proceedings when considered appropriate. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly in cases in which claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages, Siemens often cannot predict what the eventual loss or range of loss related to such matters will be. Although the final resolution of such matters could have a material effect on Siemens’ consolidated operating results for any reporting period in which an adverse decision is rendered, Siemens believes that its consolidated financial position should not be materially affected.
13. Share-based payment
     Share-based payment plans at Siemens are designed as equity-settled plans as well as cash-settled plans. Total expense for share-based payment recognized in net income for continuing and discontinued operations amounted to 25 and 36 in the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and refers primarily to equity-settled awards, including the Company’s employee share purchase program.
     For a description of the Siemens share-based payment plans, see IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2006.
     Stock Option Plans
     The Supervisory as well as the Managing Board decided not to grant any stock options in fiscal 2007. Since the authority to distribute options under the 2001 Siemens Stock Option Plan expired on December 13, 2006, no further options will be granted under this plan.

     As of December 31, 2006, unrecognized compensation costs related to stock awards amount to 146, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 3.2 years.
     Employee share purchase plan
     Under a compensatory employee share purchase program, employees may purchase a limited number of shares in the Company at preferential prices once a year. Up to a stipulated date in the first quarter of the fiscal year, employees may order the shares, which are usually issued in the second quarter of the fiscal year. The employee share purchase program is measured at fair value. During the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company incurred compensation expense before tax of 27 and 38, based on a preferential employee share price of 51.20 and 46.12, respectively, and a grant-date fair value of 20.79 and 21.19, respectively, per share.

15. Segment information
     During fiscal 2007, the Company has thirteen reportable segments referred to as Groups reported among the components used in Siemens’ financial statement presentation as described in Note 1. The Groups are organized based on the nature of products and services provided.
     Due to the increased importance of the Company’s strategic investments accounted for under the equity method, in particular the pending creation of NSN (see Note 2 for further information), Siemens has created a new reportable segment Strategic Equity Investments (SEI) beginning in fiscal 2007. SEI represents an operating segment, having its own management that reports the results of the segment to the Managing Board. During the three months ended December 31, 2006, SEI consisted of Fujitsu Siemens Computers (Holding) BV (FSC) and BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH. These investments were formerly included within Other Operations. Prior-year information was reclassified for comparability purposes.
     Within the Operations component, Siemens has ten Groups which involve manufacturing, industrial and commercial goods, solutions and services in areas related to Siemens’ origins in the electrical business. Also included in Operations is SEI, as well as operating activities not associated with a Group, the latter of which are reported under Other Operations. Reconciling items are discussed in Reconciliation to financial statements below.
     As discussed in Note 2, the primary business components of the former operating segment Com, carrier networks, enterprise networks and MD, were either held for disposal or already disposed of as of December 31, 2006. Beginning October 1, 2006, A&D assumed responsibility for Com’s Wireless Modules business. Except for Wireless Modules and other businesses including the former division Siemens Home and Office Communication Devices that was reclassified from Com to Other Operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the historical results of Com are presented as discontinued operations. Current and prior-year segment disclosures exclude the applicable information included in the Company’s financial statement presentation.
     The Financing and Real Estate component includes the Groups SFS and SRE. The Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury component separately reports the consolidation of transactions among Operations and Financing and Real Estate, as well as certain reclassifications and the activities of the Company’s Corporate Treasury.
     The accounting policies of these components, as well as the Groups included, are generally the same as those used for Siemens. Corporate overhead is generally not allocated to segments. Intersegment transactions are generally based on market prices.
     New orders are determined principally as the estimated revenue of accepted purchase orders and order value changes and adjustments, excluding letters of intent.
Operations
     The Managing Board is responsible for assessing the performance of the Operations Groups. The Company’s profitability measure for its Operations Groups is earnings before financing interest, certain pension costs, and income taxes (Group profit) as determined by the Managing Board as the chief operating decision maker (see discussion below). Group profit excludes various categories of items which are not allocated to the Groups since the Managing Board does not regard such items as indicative of the Groups’ performance. Group profit represents a performance measure focused on operational success excluding the effects of capital market financing issues.
     Financing interest is any interest income or expense other than interest income related to receivables from customers, from cash allocated to the Groups and interest expense on payables to suppliers. Financing interest is excluded from Group profit because decision-making regarding financing is typically made centrally by Corporate Treasury.
     Similarly, decision-making regarding essential pension items is done centrally. As a consequence, Group profit includes only amounts related to the service cost of pension plans, while all other pension related costs (including charges for the German pension insurance association and plan administration costs) are included in the line item Corporate items, pensions and eliminations.
     Furthermore, income taxes are excluded from Group profit since tax expense is subject to legal structures which typically do not correspond to the structure of the Operations Groups.

(in millions of , except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
     The Managing Board utilizes net capital employed to assess the capital intensity of the Operations Groups. Its definition corresponds with the Group profit measure. Net capital employed is based on total assets excluding intragroup financing receivables and intragroup investments and tax related assets, as the corresponding positions are excluded from Group profit (asset-based adjustments). The remaining assets are reduced by non-interest-bearing liabilities other than tax related liabilities (e.g. trade payables) and provisions (liability-based adjustments) to derive net capital employed. The reconciliation of total assets to net capital employed is presented below.
     Other Operations primarily refers to operating activities not associated with a Group, as well as to assets recently acquired as part of acquisitions for which the allocation to the Groups are not yet finalized but excluding the investment in Infineon, which was included in Corporate items prior to its sale in April 2006 (see IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2006 for further information). The Dematic business was included in Other Operations before a significant portion of it was sold (see IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2006 for further information).
     Reconciliation to financial statements
     Reconciliation to financial statements includes items which are excluded from the definition of Group profit as well as costs of corporate headquarters.
     Corporate items includes corporate charges such as personnel costs for corporate headquarters, the results of corporate-related derivative activities, as well as corporate projects and non-operating investments. Pensions includes the Company’s pension related income (expenses) not allocated to the Groups. Eliminations represents the consolidation of transactions within the Operations component.
     In the three months ended December 31, 2006, Corporate items, pensions and eliminations in the column Group profit includes (631) related to corporate items, as well as (30) and (2) related to pensions and eliminations, respectively. Included in (631) is the (423) impact related to a fine imposed by the European Commission in connection with an antitrust investigation involving suppliers of high-voltage gas-isolated switching systems in the power transmission and distribution industry between 1988 and 2004 (see Notes 4 and 12). In the three months ended December 31, 2005, Corporate items, pensions and eliminations in the column Group profit includes (112) related to corporate items, as well as 23 and (2) related to pensions and eliminations, respectively.
     Other interest expense of Operations relates primarily to interest paid on debt and corporate financing transactions through Corporate Treasury.

Financing and Real Estate
     The Company’s performance measurement for its Financing and Real Estate Groups is Income before income taxes. In contrast to the performance measurement used for the Operations Groups, interest income and expense is an important source of revenue and expense for Financing and Real Estate.
Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury
     Income before income taxes consists primarily of interest income due to cash management activities, corporate finance, and certain currency and interest rate derivative instruments.
16. Subsequent events
     In fiscal 2006, Siemens signed an agreement to acquire the diagnostics division of Bayer Aktiengesellschaft. The acquisition, which will be integrated into Med, will enable Siemens to expand its position in the growing molecular diagnostics market. The acquisition was completed on January 2, 2007. The estimated purchase price, payable in cash, amounts to 4.4 billion (including cash acquired).
     On January 24, Siemens announced an agreement to acquire U.S.-based UGS Corp., one of the leading providers of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services for manufacturers, from its current owners Bain Capital Partners, L.L.C., Silver Lake Technology Management, L.L.C. and Warburg Pincus, L.L.C. The aggregate consideration, including the assumption of debt, amounts to approximately U.S.$3.5 billion (approximately 2.7 billion). Upon approval of the transaction by relevant regulatory authorities, the activities of UGS will become part of A&D.
     On January 24, Siemens announced that it plans an initial public offering of a minority of shares in Siemens VDO Automotive (SV).
