General
EMC Corporation and its subsidiaries develop and deliver open, flexible information infrastructures, offering a wide range of systems, software, services and solutions that help organizations extract greater value from their information and get the most out of their information technology (IT) assets.
EMC develops solutions for customers to manage information intelligently based on its changing value to an organization over time. With a strategy known as information lifecycle management (ILM), we help individuals and organizations store, manage, protect, secure, move and share information to collaborate, solve problems, save money, exploit new opportunities, comply with regulations and policies and improve operational results. ILM simultaneously lowers the cost and reduces the risk of managing information, no matter what format it is in – documents, images or e-mail – as well as the data that resides in databases.
We also provide specialized virtual infrastructure and resource management software. Virtual infrastructure helps organizations respond to changing IT requirements by dynamically altering their computing and storage environments with flexible virtualization technologies. Resource management allows organizations to better understand, manage and automate the operation of their information infrastructure.
The customers for our products are located worldwide and represent a cross-section of industries and government agencies. Our customers use our products and services in conjunction with a variety of computing platforms, storage systems and software applications that support key business processes, including transaction processing, enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, data warehousing, electronic commerce, content management, regulatory compliance, business intelligence, e-mail and web hosting.
We were incorporated in Massachusetts in 1979. Our corporate headquarters are located at 176 South Street, Hopkinton, Massachusetts.
Products and Offerings
Our principal segments comprise EMC information storage products, EMC multi-platform software, EMC services and VMware.
EMC Information Storage Products Segment
EMC information storage products are composed of information storage systems and platform-based software.
Information Storage Systems
We offer a wide range of networked information storage systems to meet the specific needs of our customers in terms of performance, functionality, scalability, data availability and cost. Our information storage systems can be deployed in a storage area network (SAN), networked attached storage (NAS), content addressed storage (CAS) or direct attached storage environment. Our portfolio of systems ranges from the EMC CLARiiON AX100 system on the low end to the EMC Symmetrix DMX-3 3000 system on the high end. At their respective price points, we believe that our networked information storage systems offer the highest levels of functionality, performance and availability in the information storage market.
1
EMC Symmetrix Systems
Our EMC Symmetrix family of high-end networked storage systems delivers the highest levels of functionality, performance, data availability and information protection. These systems are based upon our Direct Matrix Architecture, which enables us to cost-effectively increase performance, availability, functionality and scalability. Our Symmetrix systems operate in conjunction with our platform and multi-platform storage management software products.
In 2005, we introduced the DMX-3, our most robust product in the Symmetrix DMX series. This system complements the DMX-2 product line by enabling hyper-consolidation with incremental scalability. The DMX-3 provides customers with the ability to allocate information to different tiers or classes of storage within a single enclosure and features increased processing power, new memory technology and support for low cost Fibre Channel disk drives. By leveraging the Direct Matrix Architecture, the DMX-3 provides twice the internal bandwidth of the DMX-2. The new system can scale to one petabyte (1,024 terabytes) of capacity and supports up to 2,400 disk drives.
We intend to continue to enhance our Symmetrix family of systems with additional features and capabilities.
EMC CLARiiON Systems
Our EMC CLARiiON family of mid-tier networked storage systems is based on a modular design, providing for flexible levels of functionality, performance, scalability and availability. These systems are offered with integrated advanced technology attachment (ATA) and Fibre Channel disk drives and are available in different configurations. As a result, our CLARiiON networked storage systems give customers more choices, enabling our customers to meet differing performance requirements at varying price points. These systems also enable them to bring their formerly offline, tape-based data online to improve accessibility and extend such data’s useful life. Our CLARiiON systems operate in conjunction with our platform and multi-platform storage management software products.
In 2005, we introduced new versions of our EMC CLARiiON series, including major enhancements to the CX series and native iSCSI support. The CLARiiON CX300, CX500 and CX700 systems utilize new technology and cost-effective replication options to provide customers with improved performance, reliability and availability. By adding iSCSI support to the CLARiiON AX100i, CX300i and CX500i systems, customers can leverage their existing IP network infrastructures to enable low-cost SANs.
We also introduced new models of the EMC CLARiiON Disk Library in 2005, which combine the power and reliability of CLARiiON technology with cost-efficient ATA disk drives and compatible tape library emulation, offering the immediate benefits of backup-to-disk. The new systems deliver twice the performance and capacity of the previous generation, scaling to 348 terabytes of capacity.
We intend to continue to enhance our CLARiiON family of systems with additional features and capabilities.
EMC Celerra Network Attached Storage Products
Our EMC Celerra family of NAS products range from the mid-range to the high-end of the market. Celerra NAS systems are available both as a front-end NAS system or “gateway” able to leverage the networked Symmetrix or CLARiiON storage systems that customers already utilize, and as a single, integrated enclosure with a CLARiiON storage system.
In 2005, we introduced the fastest, most advanced NAS system in the world, the EMC Celerra NSX NAS gateway. This product delivers industry-leading performance, supports a maximum capacity of 112 terabytes and pools SAN-based storage, offering improved utilization, flexibility and scale while leveraging existing SAN investments.
We intend to continue to enhance our Celerra NAS family of solutions with additional features and capabilities.
EMC Centera Systems – Content Addressed Storage Products
We offer the EMC Centera Content Addressed Storage system to meet the requirements of “fixed content.” We define fixed content as information whose value lies in part in its unchanging nature, such as digital x-rays and other medical records, movies, check images and e-mail correspondence. Centera eliminates the need for applications to be aware of the physical location of information, regardless of scale, from terabytes to petabytes, thereby simplifying the task of having applications access and manage huge numbers of objects. Centera is also optimized to help customers meet compliance and regulatory commitments. Centera is integrated by third parties with their software applications and is generally sold as part of a joint solution.
In 2005, we expanded the Centera family of content-addressed storage to the mid-size enterprise market with the Centera 4-node configuration. We also introduced unique software to help customers more effectively search, retrieve and utilize active enterprise archives created with Centera.
2
We intend to continue to enhance and improve our Centera system with additional features and capabilities, as well as add new partners to expand the number of applications integrated with Centera.
EMC Connectrix Systems – Storage Area Network Products
Our EMC Connectrix family includes high-end directors and departmental switches. These Fibre Channel-based systems significantly increase the connectivity between servers and storage systems in a SAN and permit users to centralize monitoring and control of information in a SAN. Our Connectrix family of directors and switches is manufactured for us by third-party original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
In 2005, we expanded the Connectrix family with the addition of several new models to further help customers of all sizes consolidate their networked storage systems, improve total cost of ownership and tier their storage environments as they implement an ILM strategy.
We intend to continue to enhance our Connectrix family of switches and directors with additional features and capabilities.
Platform-based Software
Our platform-based software generally controls and enables functions that take place within the EMC networked storage system, such as replication, optimization and data movement. We are the leading supplier of platform-based software for local and remote replication such as EMC SRDF and EMC TimeFinder products, which customers use to protect and share data across varied distances.
We intend to continue to enhance our platform-based software with additional features and capabilities.

VMware Segment
As a subsidiary of EMC, VMware’s virtual infrastructure solutions and services are used by customers for server consolidation and containment, disaster recovery and business continuity, capacity planning and development, test optimization and software distribution. By helping customers virtualize their enterprise, VMware enables them to build a more flexible and highly available IT infrastructure.
VMware virtual infrastructure simplifies IT so companies better leverage their storage, network and computing resources to control costs and respond faster. The VMware virtual infrastructure approach to IT management creates virtual services out of the physical IT infrastructure, enabling administrators to allocate these virtual resources quickly to the business units that need them most.
4
In 2005, VMware introduced the new ESX Server 3, with data center capabilities for larger enterprise workloads and expanded low cost storage support; VirtualCenter 2, with Distributed Resource Scheduling; Workstation 5 and 5.5, the latter with 64-bit guest support; and VMware Player, a free product that enables PC users to easily run any virtual machine on a Windows or Linux personal computer. All of VMware’s products support dual-core processors. VMware also introduced VMware Technology Network (VMTN), featuring application environments from independent application vendors that have been pre-built and a subscription that provides developers with access to a suite of VMware products, support and upgrades. Working in conjunction with leading processor, x86 hardware and operating system, system management and application software vendors, VMware introduced two new initiatives in 2005 aimed at fostering open virtualization standards and accelerating the availability of the widest possible range of options and support for virtualization.
Most of VMware’s customers now run VMware virtual infrastructure in production in addition to development, test and staging environments. These customers are increasingly standardizing on virtual infrastructure as their default deployment vehicle on x86 (industry-standard) servers. More than 60 leading operating system, database, application server, enterprise application, management and infrastructure software vendors now support their software applications in VMware virtual infrastructure environments.
We intend to continue to enhance our products and services in this segment with additional features and capabilities and to introduce new software products and services.
Other Businesses Segment
Following our acquisition of Data General Corporation in 1999, we sold AViiON server products. In 2001, we stopped selling such products; however, we continue to support AViiON servers.
Markets and Distribution Channels
Markets
We focus primarily on the information storage and management markets and the virtualization infrastructure software market. While EMC has historically targeted large and medium-sized organizations in these markets, since 2004 we have targeted organizations of all sizes. In 2006, we launched offerings under our Insignia brand to further target small and medium-sized organizations.
Distribution Channels
We market our products through direct sales and through multiple distribution channels. We have a direct sales presence throughout North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, South Africa and the Asia Pacific region. We also have agreements in place with many distributors, systems integrators, resellers and OEMs. These agreements, subject to certain terms and conditions, enable these companies to market and resell certain EMC systems and software. In 2005, we expanded our distribution capabilities through both new and enhanced partner and channel relationships. VMware generally distributes its products and services through its own distribution channels that include distributors, systems integrators, resellers and OEM hardware vendors.
Technology Alliances
We have technology alliances with leading software, networking and services companies. We intend to continue to form additional alliances. Our strategy is to work closely with these and other companies to provide added value to our customers by integrating our solutions with software and networking applications that customers rely on to manage their day-to-day business operations.
Manufacturing and Quality
Our information storage systems are assembled and tested primarily at our facilities in the United States and Ireland. See “Properties.” We work closely with our suppliers to design, assemble and test product components in accordance with production standards and quality controls established by us. Our software products are designed, developed and tested primarily at our facilities in the United States and abroad. The products are tested to meet quality standards established by us.
We have implemented a formal, documented quality management system to ensure that our products and services satisfy customer needs and expectations and to provide the framework for continual improvement of our processes and products. This system is certified to the ISO 9001 International Standard. Several additional ISO 9001 certifications are maintained for sales and
5
service operations worldwide. We have also implemented Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing and other quality methodologies to ensure that the quality of our designs, manufacturing, test processes and supplier relationships are continually improved. Our manufacturing and test facilities in Massachusetts, North Carolina and Ireland are certified to the ISO 14001 International Standard for environmental management systems. We also maintain Support Center Practices (SCP) certification for our customer support centers. These internationally recognized endorsements of ongoing quality and environmental management are among the highest levels of certifications available.
Raw Materials
We purchase many sophisticated components and products from one or a limited number of qualified suppliers, including some of our competitors. Our products utilize industry-standard and semi-custom components and subsystems. Among the most important components that we use are disk drives, high density memory components and power supplies. While such components are generally available, we have experienced delivery delays from time to time because of high industry demand or the inability of some vendors to consistently meet our quality or delivery requirements.
Research and Development
We continually enhance our existing products and develop new products to meet changing customer requirements. In 2005, 2004 and 2003, our research and development (“R&D”) expenses totaled $1,004.8 million, $847.9 million and $718.5 million, respectively. We support our R&D efforts through state-of-the art development labs worldwide, including in Massachusetts, California, Maryland, North Carolina, Belgium, China, India, Ireland and Russia.
Backlog
We produce our systems and software on the basis of our forecast of near-term demand and maintain inventory in advance of receipt of firm orders from customers. We configure to customer specifications and generally deliver systems and software shortly after receipt of the order. Service engagements are also included in certain orders. Customers may reschedule or cancel orders with little or no penalty. We believe that our backlog at any particular time is not meaningful because it is not necessarily indicative of future sales levels.
Competition
We compete with many companies in the markets we serve, including companies that offer a broad spectrum of IT products and services and others that offer specific information storage, management or server virtualization products or services. We believe that most of these companies compete based on their market presence, products, service or price. Some of these companies also compete by offering information storage, management or virtualization-related products or services, together with other IT products or services, at minimal or no additional cost in order to preserve or gain market share.
We believe that we have a number of competitive advantages over these companies, including product, distribution and service. We believe the advantages in our products include quality, breadth of offerings, performance, functionality, scalability, availability, interoperability, connectivity, time to market enhancements and total value of ownership. We believe our advantages in distribution include the world’s largest information management and storage-focused direct sales force and a broad network of channel partners. We believe our advantages in service include our ability to provide our customers with a full range of expertise before, during and after their purchase of solutions from us or other vendors.
Seasonality
Although we do not consider our business to be highly seasonal, we generally experience the greatest demand for our products and services in the last quarter of the year.
Intellectual Property
We generally rely on patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and contract rights to establish and maintain our proprietary rights in our technology and products. While our intellectual property rights are important to our success, we believe that our business as a whole is not materially dependent on any particular patent, trademark, license or other intellectual property right.
We have been granted or own by assignment approximately 1,200 patents issued by, and have more than approximately 1,100 patent applications pending with, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as well as a corresponding number of international patents and patent applications. While the duration of our patents varies, we believe that the duration of our patents is adequate relative to the expected lives of our products.
6
We have used, registered or applied to register certain trademarks and copyrights in the United States and in other countries. We also license certain technology from third parties for use in our products and processes and license some of our technologies to third parties.
Employees
As of December 31, 2005, we had approximately 26,500 employees worldwide. None of our domestic employees is represented by a labor union, and we have never suffered an interruption of business as a result of a labor dispute. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Financial Information About Segments, Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales
We operate in five business segments: EMC information storage products, EMC multi-platform software, EMC services, VMware and other businesses. Sales and marketing operations outside the United States are conducted through sales subsidiaries and branches located principally in Europe, Latin America and the Asia Pacific region.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Federal securities laws, about our business and prospects. The forward-looking statements do not include the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, divestitures or business combinations that may be announced after the date hereof. Our future results may differ materially from our past results and from those projected in the forward-looking statements due to various uncertainties and risks, including but not limited to those set forth below, one-time events and other important factors disclosed previously and from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. We disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained herein after the date of this Annual Report.
Our business could be materially adversely affected as a result of general economic and market conditions.
We are subject to the effects of general global economic and market conditions. If these conditions deteriorate, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Our business could be materially adversely affected as a result of a lessening demand in the information technology market.
Our revenue and profitability depend on the overall demand for our products and services. Delays or reductions in IT spending, domestically or internationally, could materially adversely affect demand for our products and services which could result in decreased revenues or earnings.
Component costs, competitive pricing, and sales volume and mix could materially adversely affect our revenues, gross margins and earnings.
Our gross margins are impacted by a variety of factors, including competitive pricing, component and product design costs as well as the volume and relative mixture of product and services revenues. Increased component costs, increased pricing pressures, the relative and varying rates of increases or decreases in component costs and product price, changes in product and services revenue mixture or decreased volume could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, gross margins or earnings.
The costs of third party components comprise a significant portion of our product costs. While we generally have been able to manage our component and product design costs, we may have difficulty managing such costs if supplies of certain components become limited or component prices increase. Any such limitation could result in an increase in our component costs. An increase in component or design costs relative to our product prices could have a material adverse effect on our gross margins and earnings. Moreover, certain competitors may have advantages due to vertical integration of their supply chain, which may include disk drives, microprocessors, memory components and servers.
The markets in which we do business are highly competitive and we encounter aggressive price competition for all of our products and services from numerous companies globally. There also has been and may continue to be a willingness on the part of certain competitors to reduce prices or provide storage-related products or services, together with other IT products or services, at minimal or no additional cost in order to preserve or gain market share. Such price competition may result in pressure on our product prices, and reductions in product prices may have a material adverse effect on our revenues, gross margins and earnings. We currently believe that pricing pressures are likely to continue.
If our suppliers are not able to meet our requirements, we could have decreased revenues and earnings.
We purchase or license many sophisticated components and products from one or a limited number of qualified suppliers, including some of our competitors. These components and products include disk drives, high density memory components, power supplies and software developed and maintained by third parties. We have experienced delivery delays from time to time because of high industry demand or the inability of some vendors to consistently meet our quality or delivery requirements. If any of our suppliers were to cancel or materially change contracts or commitments with us or fail to meet the quality or delivery requirements needed to satisfy customer orders for our products, we could lose time-sensitive customer orders, be unable to develop or sell certain products cost-effectively or on a timely basis, if at all, and have significantly decreased quarterly revenues and earnings, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, we periodically transition our product line to incorporate new technologies. The importance of transitioning our customers smoothly to new technologies, along with our historically uneven pattern of quarterly sales, intensifies the risk that the failure of a supplier to meet our quality or delivery requirements will have a material adverse impact on our revenues and earnings.
8
Our business could be materially adversely affected as a result of the risks associated with acquisitions and investments.
As part of our business strategy, we seek to acquire businesses that offer complementary products, services or technologies. These acquisitions are accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in an acquisition of a business, which may include, among other things:
| • | the effect of the acquisition on our financial and strategic position and reputation |
| • | the failure of an acquired business to further our strategies |
| • | the failure of the acquisition to result in expected benefits, which may include benefits relating to enhanced revenues, technology, human resources, costs savings, operating efficiencies and other synergies |
| • | the difficulty and cost of integrating the acquired business, including costs and delays in implementing common systems and procedures and costs and delays caused by communication difficulties or geographic distances between the two companies’ sites |
| • | the assumption of liabilities of the acquired business, including litigation-related liabilities |
| • | the potential impairment of acquired assets |
| • | the lack of experience in new markets, products or technologies or the initial dependence on unfamiliar supply or distribution partners |
| • | the diversion of our management’s attention from other business concerns |
| • | the impairment of relationships with customers or suppliers of the acquired business or our customers or suppliers |
| • | the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company |
| • | the potential incompatibility of business cultures |
These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. To the extent that we issue shares of our common stock or other rights to purchase our common stock in connection with any future acquisition, existing shareholders may experience dilution and our earnings per share may decrease.
In addition to the risks commonly encountered in the acquisition of a business as described above, we may also experience risks relating to the challenges and costs of closing a transaction. Further, the risks described above may be exacerbated as a result of managing multiple acquisitions at the same time.
We also seek to invest in businesses that offer complementary products, services or technologies. These investments are accompanied by risks similar to those encountered in an acquisition of a business.
We may be unable to keep pace with rapid industry, technological and market changes.
The markets in which we compete are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions, evolving industry standards and changing needs of customers. There can be no assurance that our existing products will be properly positioned in the market or that we will be able to introduce new or enhanced products into the market on a timely basis, or at all. We spend a considerable amount of money on research and development and introduce new products from time to time. There can be no assurance that enhancements to existing products and solutions or new products and solutions will receive customer acceptance. As competition in the IT industry increases, it may become increasingly difficult for us to maintain a technological advantage and to leverage that advantage toward increased revenues and profits.
Risks associated with the development and introduction of new products include delays in development and changes in data storage, networking virtualization, infrastructure management and operating system technologies which could require us to modify existing products. Risks inherent in the transition to new products include:
| • | the difficulty in forecasting customer preferences or demand accurately |
| • | the inability to expand production capacity to meet demand for new products |
| • | the impact of customers’ demand for new products on the products being replaced, thereby causing a decline in sales of existing products and an excessive, obsolete supply of inventory |
| • | delays in initial shipments of new products |
Further risks inherent in new product introductions include the uncertainty of price-performance relative to products of competitors, competitors’ responses to the introductions and the desire by customers to evaluate new products for extended periods of time. Our failure to introduce new or enhanced products on a timely basis, keep pace with rapid industry, technological or market changes or effectively manage the transitions to new products or new technologies could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
9
The markets we serve are highly competitive and we may be unable to compete effectively.
We compete with many companies in the markets we serve, certain of which offer a broad spectrum of IT products and services and others which offer specific information storage, management or virtualization products or services. Some of these companies (whether independently or by establishing alliances) may have substantially greater financial, marketing and technological resources, larger distribution capabilities, earlier access to customers and greater opportunity to address customers’ various IT requirements than us. In addition, as the IT industry consolidates, companies may improve their competitive position and ability to compete against us. We compete on the basis of our products’ features, performance and price as well as our services. Our failure to compete on any of these bases could affect demand for our products or services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Companies may develop new technologies or products in advance of us or establish business models or technologies disruptive to us. Our business may be materially adversely affected by the announcement or introduction of new products, including hardware and software products and services by our competitors, and the implementation of effective marketing or sales strategies by our competitors. The material adverse effect to our business could include a decrease in demand for our products and services and an increase in the length of our sales cycle due to customers taking longer to compare products and services and to complete their purchases.
We may have difficulty managing operations.
Our future operating results will depend on our overall ability to manage operations, which includes, among other things:
| • | retaining and hiring, as required, the appropriate number of qualified employees |
| • | managing, protecting and enhancing, as appropriate, our infrastructure, including but not limited to, our information systems and internal controls |
| • | accurately forecasting revenues |
| • | training our sales force to sell more software and services |
| • | successfully integrating new acquisitions |
| • | managing inventory levels, including minimizing excess and obsolete inventory, while maintaining sufficient inventory to meet customer demands |
| • | controlling expenses |
| • | managing our manufacturing capacity, real estate facilities and other assets |
| • | executing on our plans |
An unexpected decline in revenues without a corresponding and timely reduction in expenses or a failure to manage other aspects of our operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Our business could be materially adversely affected as a result of war or acts of terrorism.
Terrorist acts or acts of war may cause damage or disruption to our employees, facilities, customers, partners, suppliers, distributors and resellers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Such conflicts may also cause damage or disruption to transportation and communication systems and to our ability to manage logistics in such an environment, including receipt of components and distribution of products.
Our business may suffer if we are unable to retain or attract key personnel.
Our business depends to a significant extent on the continued service of senior management and other key employees, the development of additional management personnel and the hiring of new qualified employees. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in retaining existing personnel or recruiting new personnel. The loss of one or more key or other employees, our inability to attract additional qualified employees or the delay in hiring key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
In addition, we have historically used stock options and other equity awards as key elements of our compensation packages for many of our employees. Under recent accounting rules, we will be required to treat stock-based compensation as an expense commencing in our first quarter of 2006. In addition, changes to regulatory or stock exchange rules and regulations and in institutional shareholder voting guidelines on equity plans may result in additional requirements or limitations on our equity plans. As a result, we may change our compensation practices with respect to the number of shares and type of equity awards used. The
10
value of our equity awards may also be adversely affected by the volatility of our stock price. These factors may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate employees.
Changes in generally accepted accounting principles may adversely affect us.
From time to time, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (“FASB”) promulgates new accounting principles that are applicable to us. In 2006, we will adopt Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”. This standard will require us to expense the fair value of stock options issued to employees in our basic financial statements. This will adversely affect our results of operations. We currently estimate that the standard will adversely impact earnings for 2006 by approximately $0.09 per diluted share. The FASB has proposed other standards, including modifying the accounting for income taxes, accounting for business combinations and fair value measurements. These proposed standards or other proposals could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
Our quarterly revenues and earnings could be materially adversely affected by uneven sales patterns and changing purchasing behaviors.
Our quarterly sales have historically reflected an uneven pattern in which a disproportionate percentage of a quarter’s total sales occur in the last month and weeks and days of each quarter. This pattern makes prediction of revenues, earnings and working capital for each financial period especially difficult and uncertain and increases the risk of unanticipated variations in quarterly results and financial condition. We believe this uneven sales pattern is a result of many factors including:
| • | the relative dollar amount of our product and services offerings in relation to many of our customers’ budgets, resulting in long lead times for customers’ budgetary approval, which tends to be given late in a quarter |
| • | the tendency of customers to wait until late in a quarter to commit to purchase in the hope of obtaining more favorable pricing from one or more competitors seeking their business |
| • | the fourth quarter influence of customers’ spending their remaining capital budget authorization prior to new budget constraints in the first six months of the following year |
| • | seasonal influences |
Our uneven sales pattern also makes it extremely difficult to predict near-term demand and adjust manufacturing capacity accordingly. If predicted demand is substantially greater than orders, there will be excess inventory. Alternatively, if orders substantially exceed predicted demand, the ability to assemble, test and ship orders received in the last weeks and days of each quarter may be limited, which could materially adversely affect quarterly revenues and earnings.
In addition, our revenues in any quarter are substantially dependent on orders booked and shipped in that quarter and our backlog at any particular time is not necessarily indicative of future sales levels. This is because:
| • | we assemble our products on the basis of our forecast of near-term demand and maintain inventory in advance of receipt of firm orders from customers |
| • | we generally ship products shortly after receipt of the order |
| • | customers may reschedule or cancel orders with little or no penalty |
Loss of infrastructure, due to factors such as an information systems failure, loss of public utilities or extreme weather conditions, could impact our ability to ship products in a timely manner. Delays in product shipping or an unexpected decline in revenues without a corresponding and timely slowdown in expenses, could intensify the impact of these factors on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, unanticipated changes in our customers’ purchasing behaviors such as customers taking longer to negotiate and complete their purchases or making smaller, incremental purchases based on their current needs, also make the prediction of revenues, earnings and working capital for each financial period difficult and uncertain and increase the risk of unanticipated variations in our quarterly results and financial condition.
Risks associated with our distribution channels may materially adversely affect our financial results.
In addition to our direct sales force, we have agreements in place with many distributors, systems integrators, resellers and original equipment manufacturers to market and sell our products and services. We may, from time to time, derive a significant percentage of our revenues from such distribution channels. For 2005, Dell, Inc., one of our channel partners, accounted for 12% of our revenues. Our financial results could be materially adversely affected if our contracts with channel partners were terminated, if our relationship with channel partners were to deteriorate or if the financial condition of our channel partners were to weaken. In
11
addition, as our market opportunities change, we may have an increased reliance on channel partners, which may negatively impact our gross margins. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in maintaining or expanding these channels. If we are not successful, we may lose sales opportunities, customers and market share. Furthermore, the partial reliance on channel partners may materially reduce the visibility to our management of potential customers and demand for products and services, thereby making it more difficult to accurately forecast such demand. In addition, there can be no assurance that our channel partners will not develop, market or sell products or services in competition with us in the future.
In addition, as we focus on new market opportunities and additional customers through our various distribution channels, including small-to-medium sized businesses, we may be required to provide different levels of service and support than we typically provided in the past. We may have difficulty managing directly or indirectly through our channels these different service and support requirements and may be required to incur substantial costs to provide such services which may adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Changes in foreign conditions could impair our international operations.
A substantial portion of our revenues is derived from sales outside the United States. In addition, a substantial portion of our products is manufactured outside of the United States. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely affected by a variety of factors, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in a specific country’s or region’s political or economic conditions, trade restrictions, import or export licensing requirements, the overlap of different tax structures or changes in international tax laws, changes in regulatory requirements, compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations and longer payment cycles in certain countries.
Undetected problems in our products could directly impair our financial results.
If flaws in design, production, assembly or testing of our products (by us or our suppliers) were to occur, we could experience a rate of failure in our products that would result in substantial repair, replacement or service costs and potential damage to our reputation. Continued improvement in manufacturing capabilities, control of material and manufacturing quality and costs and product testing are critical factors in our future growth. There can be no assurance that our efforts to monitor, develop, modify and implement appropriate test and manufacturing processes for our products will be sufficient to permit us to avoid a rate of failure in our products that results in substantial delays in shipment, significant repair or replacement costs or potential damage to our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Our business could be materially adversely affected as a result of the risks associated with alliances.
We have alliances with leading information technology companies and we plan to continue our strategy of developing key alliances in order to expand our reach into markets. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our ongoing strategic alliances or that we will be able to find further suitable business relationships as we develop new products and strategies. Any failure to continue or expand such relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
There can be no assurance that companies with which we have strategic alliances, certain of which have substantially greater financial, marketing or technological resources than us, will not develop or market products in competition with us in the future, discontinue their alliances with us or form alliances with our competitors.
Our business may suffer if we cannot protect our intellectual property.
We generally rely upon patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and contract rights in the United States and in other countries to establish and maintain our proprietary rights in our technology and products. However, there can be no assurance that any of our proprietary rights will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. In addition, the laws of certain countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately protect our proprietary technology against unauthorized third-party copying or use, which could adversely affect our competitive position. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain licenses to any technology that we may require to conduct our business or that, if obtainable, such technology can be licensed at a reasonable cost.
From time to time, we receive notices from third parties claiming infringement by our products of third-party patent or other intellectual property rights. Responding to any such claim, regardless of its merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources and cause us to incur significant expenses. In the event there is a temporary or permanent injunction entered prohibiting us from marketing or selling certain of our products or a successful claim of infringement against us requiring us to pay royalties to a third party, and we fail to develop or license a substitute technology, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
12
We may become involved in litigation that may materially adversely affect us.
From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings, including patent, commercial, product liability, employment, class action, whistleblower and other litigation and claims, and governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources and cause us to incur significant expenses. Furthermore, because litigation is inherently unpredictable, there can be no assurance that the results of any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
We may have exposure to additional income tax liabilities.
As a multinational corporation, we are subject to income taxes in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Our domestic and international tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of revenues and expenses in different jurisdictions and the timing of recognizing revenues and expenses. Additionally, the amount of income taxes paid is subject to our interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we file. From time to time, we are subject to income tax audits. While we believe we have complied with all applicable income tax laws, there can be no assurance that a governing tax authority will not have a different interpretation of the law and assess us with additional taxes. Should we be assessed with additional taxes, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Changes in regulations could materially adversely affect us.
Our business, results of operations or financial conditions could be materially adversely affected if laws, regulations or standards relating to us or our products are newly implemented or changed. In addition, our compliance with existing regulations may have a material adverse impact on us. Under applicable federal securities laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to evaluate and determine the effectiveness of our internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. Compliance with this legislation may divert management’s attention and resources and cause us to incur significant expense. Should we or our independent auditors determine that we have material weaknesses in our internal controls, our results of operations or financial condition may be materially adversely affected or our stock price may decline.
Our stock price is volatile.
Our stock price, like that of other technology companies, is subject to significant volatility because of factors such as:
| • | the announcement of acquisitions, new products, services or technological innovations by us or our competitors |
| • | quarterly variations in our operating results |
| • | changes in revenue or earnings estimates by the investment community |
| • | speculation in the press or investment community |
In addition, our stock price is affected by general economic and market conditions and has been negatively affected by unfavorable global economic and market conditions. If such conditions deteriorate, our stock price could decline.

INTRODUCTION
Our financial objective is to achieve profitable growth. Management believes that by providing a combination of systems, software, services and solutions to meet customers’ needs, we will be able to further increase revenues. Our efforts over the past few years have been primarily focused on growing revenues by enhancing and expanding our portfolio of offerings to satisfy our customers’ requirements. We have also focused on improving operating margins by increasing gross margins and reducing operating expenses as a percentage of revenues. Our operating income as a percentage of revenues increased from 6.4% for 2003 to 15.3% for 2005. Our gross margins have increased from 45.6% for 2003 to 53.7% for 2005. We have increased our overall investment in R&D from $718.5 in 2003 to $1,004.8 in 2005. These R&D expenditures have enabled us to introduce new and enhanced product and service offerings. We have also made acquisitions over the past three years to expand our offerings. We plan to continue to focus our efforts in 2006 on growing revenues and improving our gross and operating margins.

The EMC information storage products segment revenues include information storage systems and platform-based software revenues. Information storage systems revenues were $4,486.9, $3,871.0 and $3,314.7 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, representing increases of 16% in 2005 and 17% in 2004. The increases in 2005 and 2004 were due to greater demand for these products attributable to wider acceptance of information lifecycle management-based solutions, a broadened product portfolio, increased demand for IT infrastructure and new and enhanced distribution channels. Platform-based software revenues were $1,215.2, $1,108.9 and $891.7 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, representing increases of 10% in 2005 and 24% in 2004. Platform-based software revenues consist of revenues from software whose operation generally controls and enables functions that take place within an EMC storage system. The increases in 2005 and 2004 in platform-based software revenues were attributable to an expanded product offering, a greater demand for software to manage increasingly complex high-end and midrange networked storage environments and new and enhanced distribution channels. The reduced growth rate for platform-based software revenues in 2005 compared to 2004 was attributable to the change in mix of information storage systems sold in 2005 to a higher proportion of systems that utilize a lower software content.
The EMC multi-platform software segment revenues include software license, software maintenance and other services revenues. Software licenses revenues were $1,019.4, $896.9 and $517.2 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, representing increases of 14% in 2005 and 73% in 2004. Software maintenance and other services revenues were $675.5, $540.4 and $151.2 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, representing increases of 25% in 2005 and 257% in 2004. Software license revenue increased due to greater demand for resource management software, backup and archive software and content management software. The results for each period were favorably impacted by the Legato and Documentum acquisitions which were completed in October and December 2003, respectively, and the Smarts acquisition which was completed in February 2005. The growth in software maintenance and other services revenues was primarily due to increased software maintenance revenues, which was favorably impacted by the aforementioned acquisitions.
The EMC services segment revenues include software and hardware maintenance and professional services revenues. EMC services revenues increased in 2005 and 2004 due to greater demand for both software and hardware maintenance contracts associated with increased sales of information storage products. Additionally, increased demand for professional services, largely to support and implement information lifecycle management-based solutions, contributed to the increases in 2005 and 2004.
The VMware segment was established as a result of the acquisition of VMware in January 2004 and is comprised of virtual infrastructure solutions and services. VMware’s total revenues were $387.5 in 2005 and $218.2 in 2004. Software license revenues were $287.5 in 2005 and $178.3 in 2004, a 61% increase. The revenue increase was attributable to increased demand for virtual infrastructure software and the introduction of new product offerings. Software maintenance and services revenues were $100.0 in 2005 and $39.9 in 2004, a 151% increase. The increase in maintenance revenues was primarily due to increased software license sales.
The other businesses segment revenues consist of revenues from AViiON maintenance services. These revenues are expected to continue to decline in future years, as we have discontinued selling AViiON servers.

Revenue increased in 2005 and 2004 in all of our markets due to greater demand for our products and services. Also contributing to the increases were revenues generated from the acquisitions of Documentum and Legato in 2003, VMware in 2004, and Smarts in 2005, new and enhanced distribution channels and broadened product offerings. Changes in exchange rates positively impacted revenue growth by 0.8% in 2005 and by 3.7% in both 2004 and 2003. The impact of the change in rates was most significant in the European market, primarily Germany, France and Italy.
We expect our revenues for 2006 to be between $11.1 billion and $11.3 billion, representing a growth rate of between 15% and 17%. However, our revenues could be negatively impacted by a variety of factors, including the economy, demand for IT infrastructure, product availability, competitive factors, changes in exchange rates and other factors set forth in Item 1A (Risk Factors).

Gross Margins
Our overall gross margin percentages were 53.7% in 2005, 51.2% in 2004 and 45.6% in 2003.
Gross margin percentages for the EMC information storage products segment were 43.9%, 42.2% and 38.3% in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increases in the gross margin percentages were attributable to achieving higher sales volumes while at the same time improving our manufacturing cost structure. Provisions for product warranties, which reduce information storage products gross margins, were $127.4 in 2005, $146.5 in 2004 and $90.4 in 2003. The provision for warranties as a percentage of information storage systems revenues was 2.8% in 2005, 3.8% in 2004 and 2.7% in 2003. The increase in the amount of the provision, as well as the increase in the provision as a percentage of information storage systems revenues in 2004 compared to 2003, was attributable to an increase in the number of systems sold and an increase in the service requirements to fulfill our warranty obligations. In 2005, as a result of cost control efforts, we were able to reduce the cost of fulfilling our service obligations. These efforts reduced the provision as a percentage of information storage systems revenues in 2005 compared to 2004.
The gross margin percentages for the EMC multi-platform software segment were 79.1%, 78.0% and 82.7% in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in gross margin percentage from 2004 to 2005 was primarily attributable to a more efficient cost structure for software maintenance and professional service offerings. The decrease in the gross margin percentage from 2003 to 2004 was attributable to intangible amortization expense associated with the acquisitions of Legato and Documentum.
The gross margin percentages for the EMC services segment were 55.0%, 51.1% and 49.4% in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The annual increases in the gross margin percentages were primarily attributable to improvements in the gross margin
22
percentages earned from professional services, which increased by 4.6% in 2005 compared to 2004 and by 1.8% in 2004 compared to 2003. The margin improvements resulted primarily from reducing our services cost structure and a change in mix of our services offerings to services which provide a higher gross margin.
The gross margin percentage for the VMware segment was 81.9% in 2005 and 79.5% for 2004. The gross margin improvement was attributable to achieving higher sales volumes while controlling our operating cost structure. Additionally, amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets was spread over a larger revenue base, resulting in margin improvement. Partially offsetting this improvement in the gross margin percentage was a shift in the mix of software license revenues and services revenues, with a greater proportion of revenues being derived from services. Services revenues accounted for 26% of total VMware revenues in 2005 compared to 18% in 2004. Services revenues provide a lower margin than license revenues.
The gross margin percentages for other businesses were 52.8%, 53.4% and 53.7% in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in the gross margin percentages resulted from declining revenues in this segment as the volume of AViiON maintenance contracts decreased.
Research and Development
As a percentage of revenues, R&D expenses were 10.4%, 10.3% and 11.5% in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition, we spent $167.1, $166.3 and $113.4 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, on software development costs which were capitalized. R&D spending includes research and development on new product offerings and enhancements to our software and information storage systems. The increase in R&D expenses in 2005 compared to 2004 and 2004 compared to 2003 was primarily attributable to the incremental R&D efforts resulting from the acquisitions of Legato and Documentum in 2003, VMware in 2004 and Smarts in 2005.
Selling, General and Administrative
As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were 27.0%, 27.5% and 26.6% in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in absolute dollars spent each year was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Legato and Documentum in 2003, VMware in 2004, and Smarts in 2005. SG&A decreased as a percentage of revenue in 2005 compared to 2004 as we achieved higher sales volumes while controlling our cost structure. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue in 2004 compared to 2003 was due to the acquisitions of LEGATO, Documentum and VMware. These operations have a higher selling cost as a percentage of revenue than EMC has historically incurred.
Restructuring and Other Special Charges
In 2005, 2004 and 2003, we incurred restructuring and other special charges of $101.6, $56.1 and $66.3, respectively.
The 2005 charge consisted of $17.4 of in-process R&D (“IPR&D”) charges associated with acquisitions and $84.1 for employee termination benefits associated with work force rebalancing and reductions in force efforts and $0.4 of costs associated with vacating excess facilities. Partially offsetting these amounts were net adjustments of $0.3 associated with prior years’ restructuring programs.
The 2004 charge consisted of $17.4 of IPR&D charges associated with acquisitions and $38.7 of restructuring charges. The 2004 restructuring programs consisted of $24.5 of employee termination benefits associated with reductions in force and $2.1 associated with vacating excess facilities. The remaining $12.1 of charges was associated with prior restructuring programs, primarily relating to additional rent expense for vacated facilities. The additional rent expense was attributable to a revised estimate of the time needed to sublet facilities.
The 2003 charge consisted of $29.1 of IPR&D charges associated with acquisitions, $18.6 of employee termination benefits associated with a reduction in force, $2.8 associated with vacating excess facilities, $10.5 pertaining to an asset impairment and $5.3 associated with prior restructuring programs.
The activity for each charge is explained in the following sections.

The 2005 restructuring programs included two separate reductions in force, one that commenced in the first quarter of 2005 that covered approximately 60 employees and a second that commenced in the fourth quarter of 2005 that covered approximately 1,000 employees. These actions impacted our major business functions and major geographic regions. Approximately 67% of the affected employees are or were based in North America, excluding Mexico, and 33% are or were based in Europe, Latin America, Mexico and the Asia Pacific region. As of December 31, 2005, approximately 80 employees have been terminated. Management plans to re-allocate the headcount from the fourth quarter charge to other areas of the business to enhance research and development activities and sales. The restructuring programs impacted the EMC information storage products, EMC multi-platform software, EMC services and other businesses segments.
The 2005 restructuring programs are expected to be completed by the end of 2006, with the remaining cash expenditures relating to workforce reduction expected to be substantially paid by the end of 2007. The expected cash impact of the 2005 restructuring charges is $84.6, of which $4.8 was paid in 2005.

The 2004 restructuring programs included two separate reductions in force, one that commenced in the first quarter of 2004 and a second that commenced in the fourth quarter of 2004, aggregating approximately 400 employees across our major business functions and all major geographic regions. As of December 31, 2005, substantially all of the employees have been terminated. The remaining cash expenditures relating to workforce reduction are expected to be paid by the end of 2006. The expected cash impact of the 2004 restructuring charge was $25.1, of which $8.6 was paid in 2004 and $10.7 was paid in 2005.
The $2.4 reversal to the provision for workforce reduction in 2004 was attributable to a decrease in the original number of individuals identified for reduction.
The 2004 restructuring programs impacted the EMC information storage products, EMC multi-platform software and EMC services segments.

| The $4.8 reversal of the provision for workforce reduction in 2004 was attributable to a decrease in the original number of individuals identified for reduction. The $7.9 addition to the provision for elimination of excess facilities in 2004 related to additional charges for facilities being vacated as the time to sublet the facilities was greater than originally estimated. | ||||||||||||||
| In 2003, as a result of the LEGATO acquisition, we recognized an impairment charge of $10.5 for a duplicative EMC software project. The impairment charge was equal to the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeded its fair value, measured as the present value of its estimated discounted cash flows. The impaired asset is classified within our EMC multi-platform software segment. | ||||||||||||||
| The 2003 workforce reduction impacted approximately 200 employees across our major business functions and all our major geographic regions. The 2003 restructuring program impacted the EMC information storage products, EMC multi-platform software and EMC services segments. | ||||||||||||||

The $24.1 addition to the provision for workforce reduction in 2003 was primarily attributable to finalizing severance packages for employees in foreign jurisdictions. The $6.1 addition to the provision for the consolidation of excess facilities in 2003 represents the charges for facilities being vacated, offset by the reversal of reserves related to the reactivation of facilities that had previously been vacated.
In addition to these restructuring programs, we have remaining liabilities aggregating $53.3 associated with restructuring programs prior to 2002. The remaining balance relates primarily to consolidation of facilities. All restructuring programs, with the exception of the 2005 restructuring programs, are substantially complete, although our ability to sublet facilities is subject to appropriate market conditions. The total remaining liability for all of our restructuring programs was $154.6 as of December 31, 2005. The remaining balance relates primarily to consolidation of facilities and employee termination benefits. These amounts are expected to be paid out through 2015.
As of December 31, 2005, we had a goodwill balance of $3,883.5. At least annually we evaluate goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. As of December 31, 2005, none of the reporting units had any indication that goodwill was likely to be impaired.
As we continue to refine our business model, we will reassess our cost structure and asset deployment to assess whether additional changes are necessary. Should we determine that additional changes will benefit our business, we may incur additional restructuring and other special charges. If customer demand for products change or we acquire complementary products, we may be required to write down the value of assets. Additionally, changes in our business model or market conditions could cause goodwill or other assets to be impaired.
Investment Income
Investment income was $190.4, $156.7 and $187.8 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Investment income was earned primarily from investments in cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term investments and sales-type leases. Investment income increased in 2005 due to higher outstanding cash and investment balances and greater yields on investments and was partially offset by increased realized losses on investments. Investment income decreased in 2004 from 2003 due to lower yields on outstanding investment balances and reduced realized gains from the sale of investments. The weighted average return on investments, excluding realized gains, was 3.4%, 2.6% and 2.7% in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Realized (losses) gains were $(58.9), $(11.7) and $30.5 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Other Expenses, Net
Other expenses, net were $10.6, $8.2 and $14.9 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in 2005 compared to 2004 was primarily due to increased foreign currency losses. The decrease in 2004 compared to 2003 was primarily due to gains from selling strategic investments, partially offset by increased foreign currency losses.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was 31.4%, 26.5% and 13.1% in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The effective income tax rate is based upon the income for the year, the composition of the income in different countries, and adjustments, if any, for the potential tax consequences, benefits or resolutions of tax audits. For 2005, 2004 and 2003 the effective tax rate varied from the statutory rate as a result of the mix of income attributable to foreign versus domestic jurisdictions. Our aggregate income tax rate in foreign jurisdictions is lower than our income tax rate in the United States. Additionally, in 2005, we recognized an income tax benefit of $163.9 from the favorable resolution of certain income tax audits and expiration of statutes of limitations. These favorable reductions in our effective tax rate were partially offset by several factors. In 2005, we repatriated approximately $3,000.0 under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The repatriation resulted in an incremental income tax expense of $180.2. Also in 2005, we incurred $17.4 of non-deductible IPR&D charges from acquisitions. We did not derive a tax benefit from these charges. For 2004, as a result of tax audits, we recognized a $20.0 reduction in our estimated income tax exposure pertaining to
26
certain of our international tax liabilities. Partially offsetting these benefits were non-deductible IPR&D charges of $17.4 incurred in connection with acquisitions. For 2003, we favorably resolved a series of tax matters which aggregated $80.9. The tax matters included the resolution of certain merger-related contingencies. Partially offsetting these benefits were non-deductible IPR&D charges of $29.1 incurred in connection with acquisitions.
Financial Condition
Cash provided by operating activities was $2,216.3 in 2005, $2,102.3 in 2004 and $1,521.2 in 2003. Cash received from customers was $9,732.8, $8,329.4 and $6,693.8 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The annual increases were attributable to higher sales volume and greater cash proceeds from the sale of maintenance contracts. Cash paid to suppliers and employees was $7,539.9, $6,299.1 and $5,507.7 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The annual increases were partially attributable to higher headcount. Total headcount was approximately 26,500, 22,700 and 20,000 at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The acquisitions of LEGATO and Documentum in 2003, VMware in 2004, Smarts, Rainfinity and Captiva in 2005 and general growth of the business accounted for the headcount increases as well as for the higher sales volume. Greater levels of component purchases to meet customer demand for information storage systems also contributed to the increased amounts of payments to suppliers. At the end of 2005 we were in the midst of transitioning our high end information storage systems to the next product generation. This resulted in an increase in our inventory levels which grew from $514.1 as of December 31, 2004 to $724.8 as of December 31, 2005. Cash received from dividends and interest was $249.2, $162.4 and $185.9 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The improvement in 2005 compared to 2004 was due to higher rates of return received on our cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term investments. The 2004 decline was due to lower rates of return received on our cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term investments. In 2005 and 2004, we paid $216.7 and $84.0, respectively, in income taxes. In 2003, we received $152.3 in net tax refunds. The payments in 2005 and 2004 represent our net payouts of international, federal and state income tax liabilities.
Cash used for investing activities was $611.7, $2,064.7 and $1,059.4 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In 2005, we spent an aggregate of $683.7 to acquire Smarts, Rainfinity, Captiva and several other companies. In 2004, we acquired VMware for $539.4, net of cash acquired. Capital additions were $601.1, $371.4 and $368.5 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in capital spending in 2005 compared to 2004 was attributable to additional facility requirements resulting from the acquisitions and various IT initiatives to enable us to more effectively service our growing customer base. Depreciation and amortization expense was $640.0, $616.4 and $520.7 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense in each year was primarily attributable to intangible amortization expense associated with the acquisitions of Documentum and LEGATO in 2003, VMware in 2004, and Smarts and Rainfinity in 2005. Additionally, increases in amortization of capitalized software development costs contributed to the increase. Capitalized software development costs were $167.1, $166.3 and $113.4 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in the amount capitalized in 2005 and 2004 was attributable to the aforementioned acquisitions. Lastly, a general growth in our property, plant and equipment balances in both 2004 and 2005 resulted in greater depreciation expense. Net (sales) and purchases and maturities of investments were $(868.4), $858.1 and $839.6 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This activity varies from year to year based upon our cash collections and cash requirements.
Cash used for financing activities was $743.6, $323.8 and $40.1 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our principal financing activity has been the repurchase of our common stock in the open market. Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of 300.0 million shares of our common stock. Through December 31, 2005, we have repurchased 182.5 million shares, spending $1,003.4, $545.7 and $127.0 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We anticipate we will purchase additional shares of our common stock during 2006, however, the number of shares purchased and timing of our purchases will be dependent upon a number of factors, including the price of our stock, market conditions, our cash position and alternative demands for our cash resources. We generated $263.3, $230.0 and $112.6 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, from the exercise of stock options.
In December 2003, we assumed, through our acquisition of Documentum, $125.0 in senior convertible notes that mature on April 1, 2007 (the “Notes”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum. Holders of the Notes are entitled to convert the Notes at any time before the close of business on April 1, 2007, subject to prior redemption or repurchase of the Notes, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $13.80 per share. The Notes may be redeemed by us at a price of 101.8% of the face value through April 1, 2006 and at a price of 100.9% of the face value from April 2, 2006 through March 31, 2007. The Notes will effectively rank behind all secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing those debts. The Notes do not contain any restrictive financial covenants. We have called all of the outstanding Notes for redemption on April 3, 2006.
Cash and cash equivalents and short and long-term investments were $7,355.5, $7,440.8 and $6,907.6 at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We invest our excess cash in U.S. government and agency obligations, U.S. corporate debt securities, asset and mortgage-backed securities, bank loans, auction rate securities and foreign debt securities. At December 31, 2005, the fair value of our short and long-term investments was $5,033.1 compared to an amortized cost basis of $5,066.4. Included in our
27
portfolio are securities where the amortized cost basis exceeded the fair value by $40.0. Management regularly reviews the portfolio to evaluate whether any impairments are other-than-temporary. Management considers the type of securities held, market conditions, the length of the impairment, magnitude of the impairment and ability to hold the investment to maturity to make its evaluation. As of December 31, 2005, management did not consider any impairments to be other-than-temporary.
We have a credit line of $50.0 in the United States. At December 31, 2005, we had no borrowings outstanding on the line of credit. The credit line bears interest at the bank’s base rate and requires us, upon utilization of the credit line, to meet certain financial covenants with respect to limitations on losses. In the event the covenants are not met, the lender may require us to provide collateral to secure the outstanding balance. At December 31, 2005, we were in compliance with the covenants.
We derive revenues from both selling and leasing activity. We customarily sell the notes receivable resulting from our leasing activity. Generally, we do not retain any recourse on the sale of these notes. If recourse is retained, we assess and provide for any estimated exposure.
Based on our current operating and capital expenditure forecasts, we believe that the combination of funds currently available, funds to be generated from operations and our available lines of credit will be adequate to finance our ongoing operations for at least the next twelve months.
To date, inflation has not had a material impact on our financial results.

Our operating leases are primarily for office space around the world. We believe leasing such space is more cost-effective than purchasing real estate. The long-term convertible debt pertains to debt assumed in our acquisition of Documentum. The purchase orders are for manufacturing and non-manufacturing related goods and services. While the purchase orders are generally cancelable without penalty, certain vendor agreements provide for percentage-based cancellation fees or minimum restocking charges based on the nature of the product or service.
Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations
EMC’s subsidiaries have entered into arrangements with financial institutions for such institutions to provide guarantees for rent, taxes, insurance, leases, performance bonds, bid bonds and customs duties aggregating $62.3 as of December 31, 2005. The guarantees vary in length of time. In connection with these arrangements, we have agreed to guarantee substantially all of the guarantees provided by these financial institutions.
We enter into agreements in the ordinary course of business with, among others, customers, resellers, OEMs, systems integrators and distributors. Most of these agreements require us to indemnify the other party against third party claims alleging that an EMC product infringes a patent and/or copyright. Most of these agreements in which we license our trademarks to another party require us to indemnify the other party against third party claims alleging that an EMC product infringes a trademark. Certain of these agreements require us to indemnify the other party against certain claims relating to property damage, personal injury or the acts or omissions of EMC, its employees, agents or representatives. In addition, from time to time we have made certain guarantees regarding the performance of our systems to our customers.
28
We have agreements with certain vendors, financial institutions, lessors and service providers pursuant to which we have agreed to indemnify the other party for specified matters, such as acts and omissions of EMC, its employees, agents or representatives.
We have procurement or license agreements with respect to technology that is used in our products and agreements in which we obtain rights to a product from an OEM. Under some of these agreements, we have agreed to indemnify the supplier for certain claims that may be brought against such party with respect to our acts or omissions relating to the supplied products or technologies.
We have agreed to indemnify the directors and executive officers of EMC and our subsidiaries to the extent legally permissible, against all liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with any action in which such individual may be involved by reason of such individual being or having been a director or executive officer.
In connection with certain acquisitions, we have agreed to indemnify the current and former directors, officers and employees of the acquired company in accordance with the acquired company’s by-laws and charter in effect immediately prior to the acquisition or in accordance with indemnification or similar agreements entered into by the acquired company and such persons. In a substantial majority of instances, we have maintained the acquired company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance, which should enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. In connection with certain dispositions, we have agreed to indemnify the buyer for certain matters, such as breaches of representations and warranties. These indemnities vary in length of time.
Based upon our historical experience and information known as of December 31, 2005, we believe our liability on the above guarantees and indemnities at December 31, 2005 are not material.
Notes and Accounts Receivable
We derive revenues from both selling and leasing information storage systems. We customarily sell the notes receivable resulting from our leasing activity to provide for current liquidity. Generally, we do not retain any recourse on the sale of these notes.
Litigation
We are a party to litigation which we consider routine and incidental to our business. Management does not expect the results of any of these actions to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Pension and Post-Retirement Medical and Life Insurance Plans
We have a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that was assumed as part of the Data General acquisition, which covers substantially all former Data General employees located in the United States. Certain of the former Data General foreign subsidiaries also have foreign retirement plans covering substantially all of their employees. All of these plans were frozen in 1999, resulting in employees no longer accruing pension benefits for future services. The assets for these defined benefit plans are invested in common stocks, bonds and cash. The market related value of the plans’ assets is based upon the assets’ fair value. The expected long-term rate of return on assets for the year ended December 31, 2005 was 8.25%. This rate represents the average of the long-term rates of return for all defined benefit plans (international and U.S.) weighted by the plans’ assets as of December 31, 2005. The actual long-term rate of return for the ten years ended December 31, 2005 was 7.3%. Based upon current market conditions, the expected long-term rate of return for 2006 will remain at 8.25%. A 25 basis point change in the expected long-term rate of return on the plans’ assets would have approximately a $0.9 impact on the 2006 pension expense. As of December 31, 2005, the pension plans had a $141.9 unrecognized actuarial loss that will be expensed over the average future working lifetime of active participants. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the discount rate to determine the benefit obligation was 5.7%. The discount rate selected was based on highly rated long-term bond indices and yield curves that match the duration of the plan’s benefit obligations. The bond indices and yield curve analyses include only bonds rated Aa or higher from a reputable rating agency. This rate represents the average of the discount rates for all defined benefit plans (international and U.S.) weighted by plan liabilities as of December 31, 2005. The discount rate reflects the rate at which the pension benefits could be effectively settled. A 25 basis point change in the discount rate would have approximately a $0.7 impact on the 2006 pension expense for all plans (international and U.S.).
We also assumed a post-retirement benefit plan as part of the Data General acquisition that provides certain medical and life insurance benefits for retired former Data General employees. The plan’s assets are invested in common stocks, bonds and cash. The market related value of the plan’s assets is equal to the assets’ fair value. The expected long-term rate of return on the plan’s assets for the year ended December 31, 2005 was 8.25%. The actual long-term rate of return for the ten years ended December 31, 2005 was 7.3%. Based on current capital market conditions, the expected long-term rate of return for 2005 will remain at 8.25%. A 25 basis point change in the expected long-term rate of return on the plan’s assets has minimal impact on our benefit expense. As of December 31, 2005, the plan had a $1.8 unrecognized actuarial loss that will be recognized over the anticipated remaining years of service for participants. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the discount rate to determine the benefit obligation was 5.7%.
29
The discount rate selected was based on highly rated long-term bond indices and yield curves that match the duration of the plan’s benefit obligations. The bond indices and yield curve analyses include only bonds rated Aa or higher from a reputable rating agency. A 25 basis point change in the discount rate has a minimal impact on the expense.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements are based on the selection and application of generally accepted accounting principles which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and the accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements. We believe that the policies set forth below may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application than our other accounting policies and represent the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results. Our significant accounting policies are presented within Note A to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue recognition is governed by various accounting principles, including Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”; Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”; Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”; FAS No. 48, “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists”; FAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases”; and SOP No. 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts,” among others. The application of the appropriate accounting principle to our revenue is dependent upon the specific transaction and whether the sale or lease includes systems, software and services or a combination of these items. As our business evolves, the mix of products and services sold will impact the timing of when revenue and related costs are recognized. Additionally, revenue recognition involves judgments, including assessments of expected returns and the likelihood of nonpayment. We analyze various factors, including a review of specific transactions, the credit-worthiness of our customers, our historical experience and market and economic conditions. Changes in judgments on these factors could materially impact the timing and amount of revenue and costs recognized. Should market or economic conditions deteriorate, our actual return experience could exceed our estimate.
Warranty Costs
We accrue for systems warranty costs at the time of shipment. While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, the amount of actual warranty costs could materially differ from our estimates.
Asset Valuation
Asset valuation includes assessing the recorded value of certain assets, including accounts and notes receivable, investments, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets. We use a variety of factors to assess valuation, depending upon the asset. Accounts and notes receivable are evaluated based upon the credit-worthiness of our customers, our historical experience, the age of the receivable and current market and economic conditions. Should current market and economic conditions deteriorate, our actual bad debt experience could exceed our estimate. The determination of whether unrealized losses on investments are other than temporary is based upon the type of investments held, market conditions, length of the impairment, magnitude of the impairment and ability to hold the investment to maturity. Should current market and economic conditions deteriorate, our ability to recover the cost of our investments may be impaired. The recoverability of inventories is based upon the types and levels of inventory held, forecasted demand, pricing, competition and changes in technology. Should current market and economic conditions deteriorate, our actual recovery could be less than our estimate. Other intangible assets are evaluated based upon the expected period the asset will be utilized, forecasted cash flows, changes in technology and customer demand. Changes in judgments on any of these factors could materially impact the value of the asset. Our goodwill valuation is based upon a discounted cash flow analysis performed at the reporting unit level. The analysis factors in estimated revenue and expense growth rates. The estimates are based upon our historical experience and projections of future activity, factoring in customer demand, changes in technology and a cost structure necessary to achieve the related revenues. Changes in judgments on any of these factors could materially impact the value of the asset.
Restructuring Charges
We recognized restructuring charges in 2005, 2004, 2003 and prior years. The restructuring charges include, among other items, estimated losses on the sale of real estate, employee termination benefit costs, subletting of facilities and termination of various contracts. The amount of the actual obligations may be different than our estimates due to various factors, including market conditions and negotiations with third parties. Should the actual amounts differ from our estimates, the amount of the restructuring charges could be materially impacted.
30
Accounting for Income Taxes
As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate our provision for income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure, including assessing the risks associated with tax audits, together with assessing temporary differences resulting from the different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our balance sheet. We assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is more likely than not, do not establish a valuation allowance. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates, our provision for income taxes could be materially impacted.
Accounting for Stock Options
Historically, we recognized stock option costs pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and have elected to disclose the impact of expensing stock options pursuant to FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” in the notes to our financial statements. Effective in 2006, we will adopt the provisions of FAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” Both FAS No. 123 and 123R require management to make assumptions to determine the underlying value of stock options, including the expected life of the stock options and the volatility of the stock options. Changes to the underlying assumptions may have a significant impact on the underlying value of the stock options, which could have a material impact on our financial statements. Additionally, we will be required to incorporate a forfeiture estimate as we recognize equity expense. Should our actual forfeitures differ from our estimates, this could have a material impact on our financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” Effective on January 1, 2006, we will adopt the provisions of FAS No. 123R that require us to recognize the fair value of options granted in our basic financial statements.
This statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. The adoption of the statement will result in the expensing of the fair value of stock options granted to employees in the basic financial statements. Previously, we elected to only disclose the impact of expensing the fair value of stock options in the notes to the financial statements. See “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” in Note A to the financial statements.
The statement applies to new equity awards and to equity awards modified, repurchased, or canceled after the effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the effective date shall be recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the effective date. The compensation cost for that portion of awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated from the pro forma disclosures under Statement No. 123. Changes to the grant-date fair value of equity awards granted before the effective date of this statement are precluded. The compensation cost for those earlier awards shall be attributed to periods beginning on or after the effective date of this statement using the attribution method that was used under Statement No. 123, which was the straight-line method, except that the method of recognizing forfeitures only as they occur shall not be continued. Any unearned or deferred compensation (contra-equity accounts) related to those earlier awards shall be eliminated against the appropriate equity accounts. Additionally, common stock purchased pursuant to stock options granted under our employee stock purchase plan will be expensed based upon the fair market value of the stock option.
The statement also changes the reporting of tax-related amounts within the statement of cash flows. The gross amount of windfall tax benefits resulting from stock-based compensation will be reported as financing inflows. Under the indirect method of presentation of the statement of cash flows, any shortfalls resulting from the write-off of deferred tax assets will be reported in net income and classified within the change in deferred income taxes in the operating section of the statement of cash flows.
We plan to adopt the statement on a prospective basis beginning January 1, 2006. Accordingly, the results of operations for future periods will not be comparable to our historical results of operations. The adoption of FAS No. 123R will have a material impact on our results of operations, increasing cost of sales, SG&A expenses and R&D expenses. We currently estimate that adoption of the statement will reduce diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.09 in 2006; however, the amount may change based upon the number and value of additional stock option grants and forfeiture rates. We have utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the value of our stock options. We estimated volatility to be 40.3%, 46.4% and 55.0% in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decline in volatility in 2005 and 2004 was due to our recent volatility experience. We estimated the expected life of stock options that were issued to be 4.0, 4.2 and 5.0 years in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decline in the expected life in 2005 and 2004 was due to a change in current exercise patterns. For more information on the impact of expensing stock options on the three years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, see “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” in Note A to the financial statements.

ITEM 7A: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk, primarily from changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and credit risk. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to our policies to hedge against known or forecasted market exposures.
Foreign Exchange Risk Management
As a multinational corporation, we are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. Any foreign currency transaction, defined as a transaction denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, will be reported in U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rate. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense items are translated at average rates for the period. The primary foreign currency denominated transactions include revenue and expenses and the resultant accounts receivable and accounts payable balances reflected on our balance sheet. Therefore, the change in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies will have either a positive or negative effect on our financial position and results of operations. We enter into derivative contracts with the sole objective of decreasing the volatility of the impact of currency fluctuations. These exposures may change over time and could have a material adverse impact on our financial results. Historically, our primary exposure has related to sales denominated in the Euro, the Brazil real, the Japanese yen and the British pound. Additionally, we have exposure to emerging market economies, particularly in Latin America and South East Asia.
We use foreign currency forward and option contracts to manage the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. In all cases, we use these derivative instruments to reduce our foreign exchange risk by essentially creating offsetting market exposures. The success of the hedging program depends on our forecasts of transaction activity in the various currencies. To the extent that these forecasts are overstated or understated during periods of currency volatility, we could experience unanticipated currency gains or losses. The instruments we hold are not leveraged and are not held for trading or speculative purposes.
We employ a Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate value-at-risk for our combined foreign exchange position. This model assumes that the relationships among market rates and prices that have been observed daily over the last two years are valid for estimating risk over the next trading day. Estimates of volatility and correlations of market factors are calculated by BearMeasurisk as of December 31, 2005. This model measures the potential loss in fair value that could arise from changes in market conditions, using a 95% confidence level and assuming a one-day holding period. The value-at-risk on the combined foreign exchange position was $0.7 million as of December 31, 2005 and $0.7 million as of December 31, 2004. The average, high and low value-at-risk amounts for 2005 and 2004 were as follows (in millions):
| Average |
High |
Low | |||||||
| 2005 |
$ | 0.7 | $ | 1.1 | $ | 0.2 | |||
| 2004 |
$ | 0.6 | $ | 0.7 | $ | 0.5 | |||
The average value represents an average of the quarter-end values. The high and low valuations represent the highest and lowest values of the quarterly amounts.
Interest Rate Risk
We maintain an investment portfolio consisting of debt securities of various types and maturities. The investments are classified as available for sale and are all denominated in U.S. dollars. These securities are recorded on the balance sheet at market value, with any unrealized gain or loss recorded in other comprehensive income. These instruments are not leveraged and are not held for trading purposes. A portion of our investment portfolio is comprised of mortgage-backed securities that are subject to prepayment risk.
We employ a Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate value-at-risk for changes in interest rates for our combined investment portfolios. This model assumes that the relationships among market rates and prices that have been observed daily over the last two years are valid for estimating risk over the next trading day. Estimates of volatility and correlations of market factors are drawn from the BearMeasurisk dataset as of December 31, 2005. This model measures the potential loss in fair value that could arise from changes in interest rates, using a 95% confidence level and assuming a one-day holding period. The value-at-risk on the investment portfolios was $2.1 million as of December 31, 2005 and $6.5 million as of December 31, 2004. The average, high and low value-at-risk amounts for 2005 and 2004 were as follows (in millions):
| Average |
High |
Low | |||||||
| 2005 |
$ | 3.9 | $ | 6.3 | $ | 2.1 | |||
| 2004 |
$ | 7.5 | $ | 9.6 | $ | 5.8 | |||
32
The average value represents an average of the quarter-end values. The high and low valuations represent the highest and lowest values of the quarterly amounts.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, investments, short and long-term investments, accounts and notes receivable and foreign currency exchange contracts. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk. We place our cash and cash equivalents and short and long-term investments primarily in investment grade instruments and limit the amount of investment with any one issuer. We purchased bank loans with credit ratings below investment grade. The bank loans have a senior position to other debt and have floating-rate coupons, which significantly reduces interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2005, bank loans represent 7% of our cash and cash equivalents and short and long-term investments. We believe this investment strategy more effectively manages our exposure to interest rate risk and diversifies our investment portfolio. We have entered into various agreements to loan fixed income securities generally on an overnight basis. Under these securities lending agreements, the value of the collateral is equal to 102% of the fair market value of the loaned securities. The collateral is generally cash, U.S. government-backed securities or letters of credit. At December 31, 2005, there were no outstanding securities lending transactions. The counterparties to our foreign currency exchange contracts consist of a number of major financial institutions. In addition to limiting the amount of the contracts we enter into with any one party, we monitor the credit quality of the counterparties.
We employ a Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate value-at-risk for changes in credit conditions for our bank loan portfolios. This model assumes that the relationships among credit spreads, market rates and prices that have been observed daily over the last two years are valid for estimating risk over the next trading day. Estimates of volatility and correlations of market factors are drawn from the BearMeasurisk dataset as of December 31, 2005. This model measures the potential loss in fair value that could arise from changes in market conditions, using a 95% confidence level and assuming a one-day holding period. The value-at-risk on the bank-loan portfolios was $0.8 million as of December 31, 2005 and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2004. The average, high and low value-at-risk amount for 2005 and 2004 were as follows (in millions):
| Average |
High |
Low | |||||||
| 2005 |
$ | 1.3 | $ | 1.9 | $ | 0.8 | |||
| 2004 |
$ | 0.9 | $ | 1.3 | $ | 0.5 | |||
The credit risk associated with accounts and notes receivables is low due to the large number of customers and their broad dispersion over many different industries and geographic areas. We establish an allowance for the estimated uncollectible portion of our accounts and notes receivable. The allowance was $39.9 million and $41.7 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We customarily sell the notes receivable we derive from our leasing activity. Generally, we do not retain any recourse on the sale of these notes.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of EMC is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
| • | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
| • | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
| • | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
EMC’s management assessed the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. In making this assessment, EMC’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework.
Based on our assessment, EMC’s management determined that, as of December 31, 2005, EMC’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
EMC’s management’s assessment of the effectiveness of EMC’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears on page 36.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the
Board of Directors of EMC Corporation:
We have completed integrated audits of EMC Corporation’s 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, and an audit of its 2003 consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.
Consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EMC Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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 of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Internal control over financial reporting
Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing on page 35 of this Form 10-K, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

EMC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Company
EMC Corporation and its subsidiaries develop and deliver open, flexible information infrastructures, offering a wide range of systems, software, services and solutions that help organizations extract greater value from their information and get the most out of their IT assets.
EMC develops solutions for customers to manage information intelligently based on its changing value to an organization over time. With a strategy known as information lifecycle management, we help individuals and organizations store, manage, protect, secure, move and share information to collaborate, solve problems, save money, exploit new opportunities, comply with regulations and policies and improve operational results. Information lifecycle management simultaneously lowers the cost and reduces the risk of managing information, no matter what format it is in – documents, images or e-mail – as well as the data that resides in databases.
We also provide specialized virtual infrastructure and resource management software. Virtual infrastructure helps organizations respond to changing IT requirements by dynamically altering their computing and storage environments with flexible virtualization technologies. Resource management allows organizations to better understand, manage and automate the operation of their information infrastructure.
Accounting Principles
The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EMC and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Basis of Presentation
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Use of Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We derive revenue from sales of information systems, software and services. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. This policy is applicable to all sales, including sales to resellers and end users. The following summarizes the major terms of our contractual relationships with our customers and the manner in which we account for sales transactions.
| • | Systems sales |
Systems sales consist of the sale of hardware, including Symmetrix systems, CLARiiON systems, NetWin and Celerra systems, Centera systems and Connectrix systems. Revenue for hardware is generally recognized upon shipment.
| • | Software sales |
Software sales consist of the sale of software application programs. Our software products provide customers with resource management, backup and archiving, content management and server virtualization capabilities. Revenue for software is generally recognized upon shipment or electronic delivery. License revenue from royalty payments is recognized upon either receipt of royalty reports or payments from third parties.
42
EMC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| • | Services revenue |
Services revenue consists of installation services, professional services, software maintenance, hardware maintenance and training.
Installation and professional services are not considered essential to the functionality of our products as these services do not alter the product capabilities, do not require specialized skills and may be performed by our customers or other vendors. Installation services revenues are recognized upon completion of installation. Professional services revenues include information infrastructure assessments and design, integration and implementation, business continuity, data migration, residencies, networking storage and project management. Engagements for which reasonably dependable estimates of progress toward completion are capable of being made are recognized as earned based upon the hours incurred. Revenue on all other engagements is recognized upon completion.
Software and hardware maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the contract period.
Training revenues are recognized upon completion of the training.
| • | Multiple element arrangements |
When more than one element such as hardware, software and services are contained in a single arrangement, we allocate revenue between the elements based on each element’s relative fair value, provided that each element meets the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting. An item is considered a separate unit of accounting if it has value to the customer on a standalone basis and there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items. Fair value is generally determined based upon the price charged when the element is sold separately. Fair value of software support services may also be measured by the renewal rate offered to the customer. In the absence of fair value for a delivered element, we allocate revenue first to the fair value of the undelivered elements and allocate the residual revenue to the delivered elements. In the absence of fair value for an undelivered element, the arrangement is accounted for as a single unit of accounting, resulting in a deferral of revenue recognition for the delivered elements until all undelivered elements have been fulfilled.
| • | Shipping terms |
Our sales contracts generally provide for the customer to accept title and risk of loss when the product leaves our facilities. When shipping terms or local laws do not allow for passage of title and risk of loss at shipping point, we defer recognizing revenue until title and risk of loss transfer to the customer.
| • | Leases |
Revenue from sales-type leases is recognized at the net present value of future lease payments. Revenue from operating leases is recognized over the lease period.
| • | Other |
We accrue for the estimated costs of systems’ warranty at the time of sale. We reduce revenue for estimated sales returns at the time of sale. Systems’ warranty costs are estimated based upon our historical experience and specific identification of systems’ requirements. Sales returns are estimated based upon our historical experience and specific identification of probable returns.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are classified in cost of product sales.
Foreign Currency Translation
The local currency is the functional currency of the majority of our subsidiaries. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average rates for the period.
Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other expense, net, and consist of losses of $17.9 million in 2005, $13.4 million in 2004, and $13.3 million in 2003.
Derivatives
We use derivatives to hedge foreign currency exposures related to foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and forecasted revenue and expense transactions.
43
EMC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We hedge our exposure in foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities with foreign currency forward and option contracts. Since these derivatives hedge existing exposures that are denominated in foreign currencies, the contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, all outstanding derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value and the changes in fair value from these contracts are recorded in other expense, net, in the income statement. These derivative contracts mature in less than one year.
We use foreign currency forward and option contracts to hedge our exposure on a portion of our forecasted revenue and expense transactions. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. All outstanding derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value and changes in their fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying forecasted transactions occur. To achieve hedge accounting, the criteria specified in FAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instrument and Hedging Activities” must be met. These criteria include (i) ensuring at the inception of the hedge that formal documentation exists for both the hedging relationship and the entity’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge and (ii) at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the hedging relationship is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value attributed to the hedged risk during the period that the hedge is designated. Further, an assessment of effectiveness is required whenever financial statements or earnings are reported. Absent meeting these criteria, changes in fair value are recognized currently in other expense, net in the income statement. Once the underlying forecasted transaction is realized, the gain or loss from the derivative designated as a hedge of the transaction is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to the income statement, in the related revenue or expense caption, as appropriate. In the event the underlying forecasted transaction does not occur, the amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to the other expense, net, in the income statement in the then-current period. Any ineffective portion of the derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recognized in current earnings, which did not represent a material amount for the fiscal years presented. The ineffective portion of the derivatives consists of option premiums, discounts or premiums on forward contracts and gains or losses associated with differences between actual and forecasted amounts. Our cash flow hedges generally mature within six months or less. There were $107 million of cash flow hedges outstanding as of December 31, 2005, $60 million of cash flow hedges outstanding as of December 31, 2004 and no cash flow hedges outstanding as of December 31, 2003.
We do not engage in currency speculation. For purposes of presentation within the statement of cash flows, derivative gains and losses are presented within net cash provided by operating activities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a maturity of ninety days or less at the time of purchase. Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market securities, U.S. treasury bills, U.S. agency discount notes and commercial paper. Cash equivalents are stated at amortized cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market. Total cash equivalents were $1,659.4 million and $734.9 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for the estimated probable losses on uncollectible accounts and notes receivable. The allowance is based upon the credit worthiness of our customers, our historical experience, the age of the receivable and current market and economic conditions. Uncollectible amounts are charged against the allowance account. The allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained against both our current and non-current accounts and notes receivable balances. The balances in the allowance accounts at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were as follows (table in thousands):
| December 31, | ||||||

Investments
Our investments are comprised primarily of debt securities that are classified as available for sale and recorded at their fair market value. Investments with remaining maturities of less than twelve months from the balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments. Investments with remaining maturities of more than twelve months from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments.
44
EMC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We also hold strategic equity investments. Strategic equity investments in publicly traded companies are classified as available for sale when there are no restrictions on our ability to liquidate such securities. These investments are also carried at their market value. Strategic equity investments in privately-held companies are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value due to their illiquid nature. We review these investments to ascertain whether unrealized losses are other than temporary.
Unrealized gains and temporary losses on investments classified as available for sale are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of any related tax effect. Realized gains and losses and other than temporary impairments on non-strategic investments are reflected in the income statement in investment income. Realized gains and losses and other than temporary impairments on strategic investments are reflected in the income statement in other expense, net. Investment activity is accounted for primarily using the first-in, first-out method.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, not in excess of net realizable value.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Buildings under development are included in building construction in progress. Depreciation commences upon placing the asset in service and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
| Furniture and fixtures |
5-7 years | |
| Equipment |
1-10 years | |
| Improvements |
5-25 years | |
| Buildings |
25-31 1/2 years |
Upon retirement or disposition, the asset cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed with any gain or loss recognized in the income statement. Repair and maintenance costs, including planned maintenance, are expensed as incurred.
Capitalized Software Development Costs
R&D costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs include salaries and benefits, consultants, facilities related costs, material costs, depreciation and travel. Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility through the general release of the software products are capitalized. Technological feasibility is demonstrated by the completion of a detailed program design or working model. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from eighteen months to two years which represent the products’ estimated useful lives. The expense associated with the straight-line method exceeds the amount of expense computed using the ratio of current period gross product revenues to total anticipated gross product revenues. Unamortized software development costs were $261.6 million and $219.0 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and are included in other assets, net. Amortization expense was $124.5 million, $113.5 million and $90.9 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Amounts capitalized were $167.1 million, $166.3 million and $113.4 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Long-lived Assets
Purchased intangible assets, other than goodwill, are amortized over their estimated useful lives which range from one to twelve years. Intangible assets include goodwill, purchased technology, trademarks and tradenames, customer relationships and customer lists, software licenses, patents and contracts. Goodwill is carried at its historical cost.
We periodically review our long-lived assets and certain other intangibles, excluding goodwill, for impairment. We initiate reviews for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If an impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.
We test goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.
Advertising
Advertising production costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $14.7 million, $11.7 million and $14.4 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

EMC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Legal Costs
Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are recognized when the costs are probable of occurrence and estimable.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Tax credits are generally recognized as reductions of income tax provisions in the year in which the credits arise. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced by a valuation allowance if, based upon available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
We do not provide for a U.S. income tax liability on undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. The earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries, which reflect full provision for non-U.S. income taxes, are currently indefinitely reinvested in non-U.S. operations or will be remitted substantially free of additional tax.
Earnings Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of stock options, unvested restricted stock and convertible debt.
Retirement/Post Employment Benefits
Pension cost for our domestic defined benefit pension plan is funded to the extent that current pension cost is deductible for U.S. Federal tax purposes and to comply with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and the General Agreement on Tariff and Trade Bureau additional minimum funding requirements. Net pension cost for our international defined benefit pension plans are generally funded as accrued.
Post-retirement benefit cost for the domestic post-retirement benefits plan assumed as part of our acquisition of Data General Corporation is generally funded on a pay-as-you-go basis to the extent that current cost is deductible for U.S. Federal tax purposes.
Concentrations of Risks
Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term investments, accounts and notes receivable and foreign currency exchange contracts. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk. We place our cash and cash equivalents and short and long-term investments primarily in investment grade instruments and limit the amount of investment with any one issuer. We purchased bank loans with credit ratings below investment grade. The bank loans have a senior position to other debt and have floating-rate coupons, which significantly reduces interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2005, bank loans represented 7% of our cash and cash equivalents and short and long-term investments. We believe this investment strategy more effectively manages our exposure to interest rate risk and diversifies our investment portfolio. We have entered into various agreements to loan fixed income securities generally on an overnight basis. Under these securities lending agreements, the value of the collateral is equal to 102% of the fair market value of the loaned securities. The collateral is generally cash, U.S. government-backed securities or letters of credit and is held in our possession. At December 31, 2005, there were no outstanding securities lending transactions. We provide credit to customers in the normal course of business. Credit is extended to new customers based upon industry reputation or a check of credit references. Credit is extended to existing customers based on prior payment history and demonstrated financial stability. The credit risk associated with accounts and notes receivables is limited due to the large number of customers and their broad dispersion over many different industries and geographic areas. Our sales are generally dispersed to a large number of customers, minimizing the reliance on any particular customer or group of customers. Dell, Inc., one of our channel partners, accounted for 12% of our revenues in 2005. The counterparties to our foreign currency exchange contracts consist of a number of major financial institutions. In addition to limiting the amount of the contracts we enter into with any one party, we monitor the credit quality of the counterparties.

We purchase or license many sophisticated components and products from one or a limited number of qualified suppliers. If any of our suppliers were to cancel or materially change contracts or commitments with us or fail to meet the quality or delivery requirements needed to satisfy customer orders for our products, we could lose customer orders. We attempt to minimize this risk by finding alternative suppliers or maintaining adequate inventory levels to meet our forecasted needs.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” defined a fair value method of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. As provided for in FAS No. 123, we elected to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for our stock-based compensation plans. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight line basis over the vesting period for time-based restricted stock grants and stock options granted where the exercise price is below the market price on the date of the grant. For performance-based restricted stock grants that have a graded vesting schedule, compensation expense is recognized on a straight line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. The following is a reconciliation of net income per weighted average share had we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FAS No. 123 for the periods presented (table in thousands, except per share amounts):

The 2004 and 2003 amounts have been adjusted from the amounts reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 2004 to be calculated following the same method that will be utilized under FAS No. 123R. The total impact of the charge was to increase the incremental stock option expense per FAS No. 123 net of taxes by $8.3 million in 2004 and $7.7 million in 2003.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” Effective on January 1, 2006, we will adopt the provisions of FAS No. 123R that require us to recognize the fair value of options granted in our basic financial statements.
This statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. The adoption of the statement will result in the expensing of the fair value of stock options granted to employees in the basic financial statements. Previously, we elected to only disclose the impact of expensing the fair value of stock options in the notes to the financial statements.
The statement applies to new equity awards and to equity awards modified, repurchased, or canceled after the effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the effective date shall be recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the effective date. The compensation cost for that portion of awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated from the pro forma disclosures under Statement No. 123. Changes to the grant-date fair value of equity awards granted before the effective date of this statement are precluded. The compensation cost for those earlier awards shall be attributed to periods beginning on or after the effective date of this statement using the attribution method that was used under Statement No. 123, which was the straight-line method, except that the method of recognizing forfeitures only as they occur shall not be continued. Any unearned or deferred compensation (contra-equity accounts) related to those earlier awards shall be eliminated against the appropriate equity accounts. Additionally, common stock purchased pursuant to stock options granted under our employee stock purchase plan will be expensed based upon the fair market value of the stock option. The statement also changes the reporting of tax related amounts within the statement of cash flows. The gross amount of windfall tax benefits resulting from stock-based compensation will be reported as financing inflows. Under the indirect method of presentation of the statement of cash flows, any shortfalls resulting from the write-off of deferred tax assets will be reported in net income and classified within the change in deferred income taxes in the operating section of the statement of cash flows.
We plan to adopt the statement on a modified prospective basis beginning January 1, 2006. Accordingly, the results of operations for future periods will not be comparable to our historical results of operations. The adoption of FAS No. 123R will have a material impact on our results of operations, increasing cost of sales, SG&A expenses and R&D expenses. We currently estimate that adoption of the statement will reduce diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.09 in 2006; however, the amount may change based upon the number and value of additional stock option grants and forfeiture rates.
Under the EMC Corporation 2003 Stock Plan (the “2003 Plan”), certain awards granted to an employee who meets the age and/or length of service requirements for “retirement” set forth in the plan generally will continue to vest after such employee’s retirement without additional service, subject to the terms and conditions of the grant document. In connection with the above reconciliation of net income assuming adoption of FAS No. 123, our policy with respect to these awards has been to recognize compensation cost over the stipulated vesting period, which is typically five years. If the employee retires before the end of the vesting period, any remaining unrecognized compensation cost would be recognized at the date of retirement. The SEC has determined that companies that follow this approach should continue to do so for all applicable equity-based awards issued prior to the effective date of FAS No. 123R. These awards should also continue to be accounted for in this manner subsequent to the effective date of FAS No. 123R. The cost of applicable equity-based awards issued subsequent to the effective date of FAS No. 123R, however, should be recognized through the retirement eligibility date. Had we recognized compensation expense over this shorter service period, the increase in stock compensation costs, net of taxes, presented on a proforma basis under FAS No. 123 would have been $57.0 million, $29.1 million and $15.5 million for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
B. Business Acquisitions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Acquisition of Captiva
In December 2005, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Captiva. Captiva is a provider of software solutions that capture and manage business-critical information from paper, faxed and scanned forms and documents, Internet forms and XML data streams, converting them into information that is usable in database, document, content and other information management

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
systems. The acquisition enables us to deliver an expanded solution to our customers, enabling them to gain a richer understanding of their information and become better equipped to classify it, create policy based workflow and automate information lifecycle management.
The aggregate purchase price, net of cash received, was $322.5 million, which consisted of $280.9 million of cash, $36.2 million in fair value of our stock options and $5.4 million of transaction costs, which primarily consisted of financial advisory, legal and accounting services. The fair value of our stock options issued to employees was estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the stock options was estimated assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted-average assumptions:
| Expected life (in years) |
4.0 | ||
| Expected volatility |
40.0 | % | |
| Risk-free interest rate |
4.32 | % |
The intrinsic value allocated to the unvested options issued in the acquisition that had yet to be earned as of the acquisition date was $8.0 million and has been recorded as deferred compensation in the purchase price allocation. The purchase price has been allocated based on estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and a final determination of required purchase accounting adjustments will be made upon the receipt of an independent appraisal and the finalization of our integration activities.
The following represents the preliminary allocation of the purchase price (table in thousands):

In determining the purchase price allocation, we considered, among other factors, our intention to use the acquired assets and historical demand and estimates of future demand of Captiva’s products and services. The fair value of intangible assets was primarily based upon the income approach. The rate used to discount the net cash flows to their present values was based upon a weighted average cost of capital of 15%. The discount rate was determined after consideration of market rates of return on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital and the risk associated with achieving forecasted sales related to the technology and assets acquired from Captiva.
The total weighted average amortization period for the intangible assets is 5.3 years. The intangible assets are being amortized based upon the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are being utilized. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill is classified within the EMC multi-platform software segment.
Of the $82.4 million of acquired intangible assets, $14.3 million was allocated to IPR&D and was written off at the date of acquisition because the IPR&D had no alternative uses and had not reached technological feasibility. The write-off is included in restructuring and other special charges in our income statement. Two IPR&D projects were identified relating to data capture and input. The value assigned to IPR&D was determined utilizing the income approach by determining cash flow projections relating to the projects. The stage of completion of each in-process project was estimated to determine the discount rate to be applied to the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
valuation of the in-process technology. Based upon the level of completion and the risk associated with in-process technology, we deemed a discount rate of 30% as appropriate for valuing IPR&D.
In connection with the Captiva acquisition, we commenced integration activities which have resulted in recognizing $2.3 million in liabilities for employee termination benefits which will be paid through 2006. No payments had been made as of December 31, 2005. Management is in the process of determining whether additional liabilities relating to employee termination benefits or other contractual obligations are required to be recorded.

Acquisition of LEGATO Systems, Inc.
In October 2003, we acquired all of the shares of outstanding common stock of LEGATO. LEGATO developed, marketed and supported software products and services for information protection and recovery, hierarchal storage management, automated availability, e-mail and content management. We determined that the acquisition would expand our portfolio of open storage software, provide software-focused sales expertise, extensive channel partner relationships and strong service capabilities. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $1.4 billion, which consisted of $1.2 billion of our common stock, $141.5 million in fair value of our stock options and $15.4 million of transaction costs, which primarily consisted of fees paid for financial advisory, legal and accounting services. We issued approximately 106 million shares of our common stock, the fair value of which was based upon a five-day average of the closing price two days before and two days after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and publicly announced.
The purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $1.1 billion, other intangible assets of $176.8 million and an IPR&D charge of $19.6 million.
In connection with the LEGATO acquisition, we commenced integration activities which have resulted in involuntary terminations and lease and contract terminations.

C. Restructuring and Other Special Charges
In 2005, 2004 and 2003, we incurred restructuring and other special charges of $101.6 million, $56.1 million and $66.3 million, respectively.
The 2005 charge consisted of $17.4 million of IPR&D charges associated with acquisitions and $84.1 million for employee termination benefits associated with work force rebalancing and reductions in force efforts and $0.4 million of costs associated with vacating excess facilities. Partially offsetting these amounts were net adjustments of $0.3 million associated with prior years’ restructuring programs.

EMC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The 2004 charge consisted of $17.4 million of IPR&D charges associated with acquisitions and $38.7 million of restructuring charges. The 2004 restructuring programs consisted of $24.5 million of employee termination benefits associated with reductions in force and $2.1 million associated with vacating excess facilities. The remaining $12.1 million of charges was associated with prior restructuring programs, primarily relating to additional rent expense for vacated facilities. The additional rent expense was attributable to a revised estimate of the time needed to sublet facilities.
The 2003 charge consisted of $29.1 million of IPR&D charges associated with acquisitions, $18.6 million of employee termination benefits associated with a reduction in force, $2.8 million associated with vacating excess facilities, $10.5 million pertaining to an asset impairment and a net adjustment of $5.3 million associated with prior restructuring programs.
The activity for each charge is explained in the following sections.

The 2005 restructuring programs included two separate reductions in force, one that commenced in the first quarter of 2005 that covered approximately 60 employees and a second which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2005 that covered approximately 1,000 employees. These actions impacted our major business functions and all major geographic regions. Approximately 67% of the affected employees are or were based in North America, excluding Mexico, and 33% are or were based in Europe, Latin America, Mexico and the Asia Pacific region. As of December 31, 2005, approximately 80 employees have been terminated. Management plans to re-allocate the headcount from the fourth quarter charge to other areas of the business to enhance R&D activities and sales. The restructuring programs impacted the EMC information storage products, EMC multi-platform software, EMC services and other businesses segments.
The 2005 restructuring programs are expected to be completed by the end of 2006, with the remaining cash expenditures relating to workforce reduction expected to be substantially paid by the end of 2007. The expected cash impact of the 2005 restructuring charges is $84.6 million, of which $4.8 million was paid in 2005.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The 2004 restructuring programs included two separate reductions in force, one that commenced in the first quarter of 2004 and a second that commenced in the fourth quarter of 2004, aggregating approximately 400 employees across our major business functions and all major geographic regions. As of December 31, 2005, substantially all of the employees have been terminated. The remaining cash expenditures relating to workforce reduction are expected to be paid by the end of 2006. The expected cash impact of the 2004 restructuring charge was $25.1 million, of which $8.6 million was paid in 2004 and $10.7 million was paid in 2005.
The $2.4 million reversal to the provision for workforce reduction in 2004 was attributable to a decrease in the original number of individuals identified for reduction.
The 2004 restructuring programs impacted the EMC information storage products, EMC multi-platform software and EMC services segments.

The $4.8 million reversal of the provision for workforce reduction in 2004 was attributable to a decrease in the original number of individuals identified for reduction. The $7.9 million addition to the provision for elimination of excess facilities in 2004 related to additional charges for facilities being vacated as the time to sublet the facilities was greater than originally estimated.
In 2003, as a result of the LEGATO acquisition, we recognized an impairment charge of $10.5 million for a duplicative EMC software project. The impairment charge was equal to the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeded its fair value, measured as the present value of its estimated discounted cash flows. The impaired asset is classified within our EMC multi-platform software segment.
The 2003 workforce reduction impacted approximately 200 employees across our major business functions and all our major geographic regions. The 2003 restructuring program impacted the EMC information storage products, EMC multi-platform software and EMC services segments.

During 2004 and 2003, the Data General restructuring accrual was reduced by $4.5 million and $16.1 million, respectively. The reductions in 2004 and 2003 pertaining to the workforce reduction liability resulted from our favorable resolution of previously recognized contractual obligations associated with employee terminations. The reduction in 2003 for the consolidation of excess facilities resulted from management’s decision to utilize a facility that we had previously vacated.
The balances in the 1998 and 1999 restructuring programs as of December 31, 2005 relate to executive severance and a remaining lease obligation that will be paid through 2015.
D. Convertible Debt
In April 2002, Documentum sold $125.0 million in senior convertible Notes that mature on April 1, 2007, which we assumed in connection with our acquisition of Documentum in December 2003. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum. Holders of the Notes are entitled to convert the Notes at any time before the close of business on April 1, 2007, subject to our prior redemption or repurchase of the Notes, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $13.80 per share. The Notes may be redeemed by us at a price of 101.8% of the face value through April 1, 2006 and at a price of 100.9% of the face value from April 2, 2006 through March 31, 2007. The Notes will effectively rank behind all secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing those debts. The Notes do not contain any restrictive financial covenants. The Notes have been recorded at their fair market value as of the date of the acquisition of Documentum with a portion allocated to the conversion component. The fair market value of the debt component as of the acquisition date of $130.0 million is being adjusted to the debt’s face value of $125.0 million using the effective interest method through April 1, 2007. The fair market value of the conversion component of $26.3 million has been allocated to additional paid-in capital. We have called all of the outstanding Notes for redemption on April 3, 2006.
E. Derivatives
At December 31, 2005, the fair value of our foreign currency hedges resulted in both an unrealized gain of $13.1 million classified in other current assets and an unrealized loss of $12.1 million classified in accrued expenses. At December 31, 2004, the fair value of our foreign currency hedges resulted in both an unrealized gain of $18.3 million classified in other current assets and an unrealized loss of $13.0 million classified in accrued expenses.

We evaluate investments with unrealized losses to determine if the losses are other than temporary. The gross unrealized losses related to bank loans were due to changes in credit spreads. All other gross unrealized losses were due to changes in interest rates. We have determined that the gross unrealized losses at December 31, 2005 are temporary. In making this determination, we considered the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuers, the magnitude of the losses compared to the investments’ cost, the length of time the investments have been in an unrealized loss position and our ability to hold the investment to maturity.

Product Warranties
Systems sales include a standard product warranty. At the time of the sale, we accrue for systems’ warranty costs. The initial systems’ warranty accrual is based upon our historical experience and specific identification of systems’ requirements. Upon expiration of the initial warranty, we may sell additional maintenance contracts to our customers. Revenue from these additional maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the service period.

foreign corporations. In October 2005, our Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors approved a domestic reinvestment plan to repatriate approximately $3.0 billion in foreign earnings; such repatriation resulted in a current tax provision of $180.2 million. Additionally, we recognized a $163.9 million benefit in 2005 resulting from the favorable resolution of certain income tax audits and expiration of statutes of limitations, the majority of which is attributable to foreign operations.
In 2004, we were able to utilize $252.7 million of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits to reduce the current portion of our tax provision.
The effective income tax rate is based upon the income for the year, the composition of the income in different countries, and adjustments, if any, for the potential tax consequences, benefits or resolutions of tax audits.

EMC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have federal and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $126.7 million and $107.9 million, respectively. Portions of these carryforwards are subject to annual limitations, including Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for U.S. tax purposes and similar provisions under other countries’ tax laws. Certain net operating losses will begin to expire in 2006, while others have an unlimited carryforward period.
The valuation allowance increased from $62.0 million at December 31, 2004 to $63.8 million at December 31, 2005. The net increase was principally attributable to an increase in capital loss carryforwards and a decrease in credit carryforwards of domestic subsidiaries and net operating losses and other deferred tax assets of foreign subsidiaries. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2005 relates to foreign subsidiaries’ deferred tax assets, capital loss carryforwards and domestic tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred income taxes have not been provided on basis differences related to investments in foreign subsidiaries. These basis differences were approximately $1.1 billion and $3.2 billion at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and consisted of undistributed earnings permanently invested in these entities. The change in the basis difference between 2004 and 2005 was attributable to the approximate $3.0 billion in foreign earnings repatriated under the AJCA, partially offset by $781.4 million of income earned in the current year. The unrecognized deferred tax liability associated with these unremitted earnings is approximately $280.0 million and $780.0 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Income before income taxes from foreign operations for 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $781.4 million, $632.0 million and $343.9 million, respectively.
L. Retirement Plans and Retiree Medical Benefits
401(k) Plan
We have established a deferred compensation program for certain employees that is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code. EMC will match pre-tax employee contributions up to 6% of eligible compensation during each pay period (subject to the $750 maximum match each quarter). Matching contributions are immediately 100% vested. Our contribution amounted to $36.8 million in 2005, $30.5 million in 2004 and $26.0 million in 2003.
Employees may elect to invest their contributions in a variety of funds, including an EMC stock fund. The deferred compensation program limits an employee’s maximum investment allocation in the EMC stock fund to 30% of their total contribution. Our matching contribution mirrors the investment allocation of the employee’s contribution.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans
We have a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan which was assumed as part of the Data General acquisition, which covers substantially all former Data General employees located in the U.S. In addition, certain of the former Data General foreign subsidiaries also have retirement plans covering substantially all of their employees. All of these plans were frozen in 1999, resulting in employees no longer accruing pension benefits for future services.
Benefits under these plans are generally based on either career average or final average salaries and creditable years of service as defined in the plans. The annual cost for these plans is determined using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method that includes actuarial assumptions and estimates which are subject to change. Prior service cost is amortized over the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits under the plan. The measurement date for the plans is December 31.
Our investment policy provides that no security, except issues of the U.S. Government, shall comprise more than 5% of total plan assets, measured at market. At December 31, 2005, the Data General U.S. pension plan held $0.4 million of our common stock.
The Data General U.S. pension plan and certain foreign retirement plans (the “Pension Plans”) are summarized in the following tables.

Post Retirement Medical and Life Insurance Plan
Our post retirement benefit plan, which was assumed in connection with the acquisition of Data General, provides certain medical and life insurance benefits for retired former Data General employees. With the exception of certain participants who retired prior to 1986, the medical benefit plan requires monthly contributions by retired participants in an amount equal to insured equivalent costs less a fixed EMC contribution which is dependent on the participant’s length of service and Medicare eligibility. Benefits are continued to dependents of eligible retiree participants for 39 weeks after the death of the retiree. The life insurance benefit plan is noncontributory. The measurement date for the plan is December 31.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets considers the current level of expected returns on risk free investments (primarily government bonds), the historical level of the risk premium associated with the other asset classes in which the portfolio is invested and the expectations for future returns of each asset class. The expected return for each asset class was weighted based on the target asset allocation to develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets.

Outstanding Purchase Orders
At December 31, 2005 we had outstanding purchase orders aggregating approximately $1.1 billion. The purchase orders are for manufacturing and non-manufacturing related goods and services. While the purchase orders are generally cancelable without penalty, certain vendor agreements provide for percentage-based cancellation fees or minimum restocking charges based on the nature of the product or service.
Line of Credit
We have available for use a credit line of $50.0 million in the United States. As of December 31, 2005, we had no borrowings outstanding on the line of credit. The credit line bears interest at the bank’s base rate and requires us, upon utilization of the credit line, to meet certain financial covenants with respect to limitations on losses. In the event the covenants are not met, the lender may require us to provide collateral to secure the outstanding balance. At December 31, 2005, we were in compliance with the covenants.
Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations
EMC’s subsidiaries have entered into arrangements with financial institutions for such institutions to provide guarantees for rent, taxes, insurance, leases, performance bonds, bid bonds and customs duties aggregating $61.9 million as of December 31, 2005. The guarantees vary in length of time. In connection with these arrangements, we have agreed to guarantee substantially all of the guarantees provided by these financial institutions.
We enter into agreements in the ordinary course of business with, among others, customers, resellers, OEMs, systems integrators and distributors. Most of these agreements require us to indemnify the other party against third party claims alleging that an EMC product infringes a patent and/or copyright. Most of these agreements in which we license our trademarks to another party require us to indemnify the other party against third party claims alleging that an EMC product infringes a trademark. Certain of these agreements require us to indemnify the other party against certain claims relating to property damage, personal injury or the acts or omissions of EMC, its employees, agents or representatives. In addition, from time to time we have made certain guarantees regarding the performance of our systems to our customers.
We have agreements with certain vendors, financial institutions, lessors and service providers pursuant to which we have agreed to indemnify the other party for specified matters, such as acts and omissions of EMC, its employees, agents or representatives.

EMC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have procurement or license agreements with respect to technology that is used in our products and agreements in which we obtain rights to a product from an OEM. Under some of these agreements, we have agreed to indemnify the supplier for certain claims that may be brought against such party with respect to our acts or omissions relating to the supplied products or technologies.
We have agreed to indemnify the directors and executive officers of EMC and our subsidiaries, to the extent legally permissible, against all liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with any action in which such individual may be involved by reason of such individual being or having been a director or executive officer.
In connection with certain acquisitions, we have agreed to indemnify the current and former directors, officers and employees of the acquired company in accordance with the acquired company’s by-laws and charter in effect immediately prior to the acquisition or in accordance with indemnification or similar agreements entered into by the acquired company and such persons. In a substantial majority of instances, we have maintained the acquired company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance, which should enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. In connection with certain dispositions, we have agreed to indemnify the buyer for certain matters, such as breaches of representations and warranties. These indemnities vary in length of time.
Based upon our historical experience and information known as of December 31, 2005, we believe our liability on the above guarantees and indemnities at December 31, 2005 is immaterial.
Litigation
In May 2005, EMC and Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP”) jointly announced that the parties had agreed to amicably dismiss all claims and counterclaims with no findings or admissions of liability in a settlement of all pending patent infringement litigation between EMC and HP. As part of the settlement between the two companies, HP will pay a net $325 million balancing payment to EMC which can be satisfied through the purchase of complementary EMC products and services, such as the VMware product line, over the next five years as follows: HP will pre-pay $65 million to EMC prior to the beginning of each of five consecutive periods (“Purchase Periods”). The Purchase Periods begin on September 1, 2005, December 1, 2006, December 1, 2007, December 1, 2008 and December 1, 2009. The first pre-payment was made on August 29, 2005. The remaining payments will be made on November 29, 2006, November 29, 2007, November 29, 2008 and November 30, 2009. During each Purchase Period, HP may use its pre-payment as credit for product and services purchases from EMC for HP’s resale or internal use. Unused credits will expire at the end of each Purchase Period. For purposes of computing the amount of credit applied per dollar of EMC products that HP purchases, hardware products shall be deemed to have been purchased for 50% of the actual purchase price.
If EMC purchases HP products or services during the Purchase Periods, HP will be required to make an equivalent amount of additional product or services purchases from EMC of up to an aggregate amount of $108 million over five years, with caps for each Purchase Period as follows: $10.8 million for the first Purchase Period, $21.7 million for each of the second, third and fourth Purchase Periods and $32.5 million for the final Purchase Period. If HP does not make the required amount of additional purchases of EMC products and services attributable to such Purchase Period, HP will be required to pay the difference to EMC in cash. For purposes of computing the amount of credit applied per dollar of HP products that EMC purchases, hardware products shall be deemed to have been purchased for 50% of the actual purchase price.
We are a party to various litigation matters which we consider routine and incidental to our business. Management does not expect the results of any of these actions to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
N. Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock Repurchase Program
Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 300.0 million shares of our common stock. The purchased shares will be available for various corporate purposes, including our stock option and employee stock purchase plans. As of December 31, 2005, we had reacquired a total of 182.5 million shares at a cost of $2,058.3 million.
On July 1, 2004, the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act (the “MBCA”) became effective and eliminated treasury shares. Under the MBCA, shares repurchased by Massachusetts corporations constitute authorized but unissued shares. As a result, all of our former treasury shares were automatically converted to unissued shares on July 1, 2004 and have been accounted for as a reduction of common stock (at par value) and additional paid-in capital.

Equity Plans
The EMC Corporation 2003 Stock Plan (the “2003 Plan”) provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The exercise price for a stock option shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value
73
EMC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
of our common stock on the date of grant. Incentive stock options will expire no later than ten years after the date of grant. Restricted stock is common stock that is subject to a risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon satisfaction of specified conditions. Restricted stock units represent the right to receive shares of common stock in the future, with the right to future delivery of the shares subject to a risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon satisfaction of specified conditions. Awards of restricted stock or restricted stock units that vest only by the passage of time will not vest fully in less than three years after the date of grant. The 2003 Plan allows us to grant up to 200.0 million shares of common stock, no more than 60.0 million shares which may be issued pursuant to awards of restricted stock or restricted stock units.
In addition to the 2003 Plan, we have three employee stock option plans (the “1985 Plan”, the “1993 Plan”, and the “2001 Plan”). Under the terms of each of the three plans, the exercise price of incentive stock options issued must be equal to at least the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. In the event that non-qualified stock options are granted under the 1985 Plan, the exercise price may be less than the fair market value at the time of grant, but in the case of employees not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, not less than par value which is $.01 per share, and in the case of employees subject to Section 16, not less than 50% of the fair market value on the date of grant. In the event that non-qualified stock options are granted under the 1993 Plan or the 2001 Plan, the exercise price may be less than the fair market value at the time of grant but not less than par value.
A total of 748.0 million shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the four above plans.
In 2005 and 2004, a respective aggregate of 20,190,764 and 4,660,000 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units were granted to certain employees, consultants and Directors under the 2003 Plan. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants were $14.06 in 2005 and $12.66 in 2004. These awards have various vesting terms including pro rata vesting over 3 years, cliff vesting at the end of 3 or 5 years from the date of grant with acceleration for achieving specified performance criteria and cliff vesting on various dates, contingent on achieving specified performance criteria.
The grants have been recorded as deferred compensation on the balance sheet and are being amortized over the vesting periods of the awards.
In 2003, options to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $.01 per share were granted to an employee. The options were exercisable on the date of grant and were exercised. The shares of common stock issued upon exercise are subject to certain restrictions on transfer and repurchase by EMC upon certain events which lapse on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. Discounts from fair value have been recorded as deferred compensation and are being amortized over a five-year vesting period; however, in the event that certain performance-related criteria are met, the vesting accelerates. As of December 31, 2005, 50,000 shares have vested.
In 2002, performance-related options to purchase 2,063,000 shares of common stock were granted at $7.70 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant, to certain employees. The options vest ratably over five years; however, in the event that certain performance-related criteria are met, the vesting accelerates. As of December 31, 2005, 1,943,828 shares have vested.
We have a stock option plan that provides for the grant of stock options to members of our Board of Directors (the “Directors Plan”). A total of 14.4 million shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Directors Plan. The exercise price for each option granted under the Directors Plan will be at a price per share determined at the time the option is granted, but not less than 50% of the fair market value of common stock on the date of grant.
At December 31, 2005, there was an aggregate of approximately 89.5 million shares available for issuance pursuant to future option grants under the 1985 Plan, the 1993 Plan, the 2001 Plan, the 2003 Plan and the Directors Plan. Except as noted above, options generally become exercisable in annual installments over a period of three to five years after the date of grant and expire ten years after the date of grant.
We have, in connection with the acquisition of various companies, assumed the stock option plans of these companies. We do not intend to make future grants under any of such plans.

O. Related Party Transactions
In 2003, we retained a company owned by an individual who is the brother and uncle of certain members of our Board of Directors as a broker to provide various forms of corporate insurance. We paid such company approximately $8,000 in 2003.
In 2005, 2004 and 2003, we leased certain real estate from a company owned by a member of our Board of Directors and such Director’s siblings, for which payments aggregated approximately $3.8 million, $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Such leases were initially assumed by us as a result of our acquisition of Data General in 1999, and one lease was renewed for a ten-year term in 2003.
We purchased upgrades and licenses to software products from two companies, for which payments aggregated approximately $3.5 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We sublet facilities to one of these companies, for which we were paid $30,000 in 2004. A member of our Board of Directors is Chairman of the Board of Directors of one of these companies and is managing partner and general partner in a limited partnership which is currently a stockholder of both such companies.
From time to time during 2005, EMC paid for the use by a number of EMC employees and Directors of an aircraft beneficially owned by a current employee and former executive officer and Director of EMC for EMC business trips. EMC payments for use of the aircraft aggregated approximately $590,000 in 2005.
In February 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of a privately-held company. A member of our Board of Directors is a general partner in a limited partnership that was a stockholder of such company. Proceeds to the limited partnership as a result of this acquisition were approximately $2.7 million.
EMC is a large global organization which engages in thousands of purchase, sales and other transactions annually. We enter into purchase and sales transactions with other publicly and privately held companies, universities, hospitals and not-for-profit organizations in which members of our Board of Directors or executive officers are executive officers or members of boards of these entities. We enter into these arrangements in the ordinary course of our business.
From time to time, we make strategic investments in privately-held companies that develop software, hardware and other technologies or provide services supporting our technologies. We may purchase from or make sales to these organizations.
We believe that the terms of each of these arrangements described above were fair and not less favorable to us than could have been obtained from unaffiliated parties.
P. Risks and Uncertainties
Our future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect our future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to: adverse changes in general economic or market conditions; delays or reductions in information technology spending; risks associated with acquisitions and investments, including the challenges and costs of integration, restructuring and achieving anticipated synergies; competitive factors, including but not limited to pricing pressures and new product introductions; the relative and varying rates of product price and component cost declines and the volume and mixture of product and services revenues; component and product quality and availability; the transition to new products, the uncertainty of customer acceptance of new product offerings and rapid technological and market change; insufficient, excess or obsolete inventory; war or acts of terrorism; the ability to attract and retain highly qualified employees; fluctuating currency exchange rates; risks associated with litigation; and other one-time events and other important factors disclosed previously and from time to time in our filings with the SEC.
Q. Segment Information
Management has organized the business around our product and service offerings. We operate in the following segments: EMC information storage products, EMC multi-platform software, EMC services, VMware and other businesses. Our management makes financial decisions and allocates resources based on revenues and gross profit achieved at the segment level. We do not allocate selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses or assets to each segment, as management does not use this information to measure the performance of the operating segments.
