Item 5. Other Events

      On November 17, 2000, we agreed to sell our healthcare solutions business
to Koninklijke Philips Electronics, N.V. ("Philips") for $1.7 billion pursuant
to an asset purchase agreement. Agilent and Philips received antitrust clearance
for the transaction from the European Union Commission in March 2001. As of May
31, 2001, the U.S. Department of Justice decided to allow the transaction to
proceed without challenge. Consequently, our consolidated financial statements
have been restated to reflect our healthcare solutions business as discontinued
operations in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30
"Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a
Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring
Events and Transactions" ("APB 30"). The financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of our healthcare solutions business have been
classified as discontinued, and prior periods have been restated, including the
reallocation of general overhead charges to our remaining business segments. The
restated consolidated financial statements are attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this
Form 8-K.
