Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Participants and Administrator of the Lucent Technologies Inc. Long Term Savings and Security Plan:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Lucent Technologies Inc. Long Term Savings and Security Plan (the Plan) at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 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.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. This supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Long Term Savings and Security Plan

|
1. |
Plan Description |
|
|
|
The following description of the Lucent Technologies Inc. Long Term Savings and Security Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document and the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plans provisions. |
|
|
|
General |
|
|
|
The Plan is a defined contribution plan established as of October 1, 1996 by Lucent Technologies Inc. (the Company) to provide a convenient way for eligible non-management employees, as described in the Plan, to save on a regular and long-term basis. The Plan became effective October 1, 1996 as the successor to the AT&T Long Term Savings and Security Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). An eligible employee, as described in the Plan, enters the Plan by authorizing a payroll contribution and directing a contribution among the different funds of the Plan. |
|
|
|
Master Trust |
|
|
|
Effective August 1, 2005, the Plan assets are held by Mellon Trust of New England, National Association, as Trustee (the Trustee), in the Lucent Technologies Inc. Defined Contribution Plan Master Trust (the Master Trust). Prior to August 1, 2005, the Plan assets were held by Fidelity Management Trust Company, as former Trustee (the former Trustee), in the Lucent Technologies Inc. Group Trust (the Group Trust). |
|
|
|
Contributions |
|
|
|
Effective April 1, 2005, employee contributions of 1% to 25% of eligible pay may be authorized. An employee may designate contributions as pre-tax contributions, after-tax contributions or a combination of pre-tax and after-tax contributions. Prior to April 1, 2005, employee contributions were authorized from pay on the basis of weekly pay in $5 increments as described in the Plan. A supplementary employee contribution could be authorized, if desired, consisting of a total of one or more $5 increments which, when added to the employees matched contribution, resulted in a total contribution of up to approximately 16% of the employees weekly rate of pay. The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) limited the maximum amount of an employees contribution on a pre-tax basis to $14,000 and $13,000 in 2005 and 2004, respectively. For taxpayers age 50 and over, an additional catch-up contribution could be contributed to the Plan during 2005. The statutory annual catch-up contribution in 2005 was $4,000 and in 2004 was $3,000. Employee contributions and Company contributions are invested in accordance with respective participant elections. All participant contributions and earnings are immediately vested and are not subject to forfeiture. Effective March 1, 2003, the Plan was amended to provide for 100% vesting of Company contributions for active employees upon completion of three years of service or upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events (i.e. death or disability), regardless of years of service. Prior to March 1, 2003, Company matching contributions were vested upon the completion of five years of service. |

Notes to Financial Statements |
|
|
|
|
After completion of six months of service, the Company contributes on behalf of each participating employee an amount equal to 66 2/3% of the lesser of the amount actually contributed or up to the first 6% of the participants eligible compensation, as defined in the Plan. Prior to April 1, 2005, one year of service was required to receive Company matching contributions. Company contributions will not be made with respect to supplementary employee contributions. Company contributions and related earnings in which a terminated participant is not vested are forfeited to the Company. These forfeitures can be used to reduce future Company contributions. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, forfeited amounts totaled approximately $49,000 and $25,000, respectively. |
|
|
|
Participant Loans |
|
|
|
Effective April 1, 2005, participants may have one general loan and one home loan outstanding at a time. Loans are available to all active participants in an amount not less than $1,000, up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participants vested account balance. Upon default as described in the Plan document, participants are considered to have received a distribution and are subject to income taxes on the distributed amount. Also, participants may have to pay an additional 10% penalty tax on their taxable withdrawal if it occurs before they reach age 59-1/2. Terms for general loans are between 12 and 56 months. Home loans can be for a number of months as requested by the participant not to exceed 175 months. The loans are collateralized by the balance in the participants account and generally bear interest at the prime rate at the time the loan was originated. Interest rates on outstanding loans ranged from 4.0% to 9.5% at December 31, 2005. Principal and interest are paid through payroll deductions, coupon remittances and electronic fund transfers. |
|
|
|
Distributions |
|
|
|
When a participant retires with a service pension from the Lucent Technologies Pension Plan or terminates employment because of disability, the entire vested amount in the participants account can be distributed in a single payment or in partial withdrawals as directed by the participant. Effective April 1, 2005, all terminated participants may elect unlimited partial withdrawals of their vested account balance, subject to a minimum withdrawal of $300. Prior to April 1, 2005, in the case of a termination of employment other than retirement or disability, only a single distribution of all vested amounts in the participants account was allowed. |

Notes to Financial Statements |
|
|
|
|
Effective November 1, 2005, inactive Participants with vested account balances of $5,000 or less will have their account balances automatically distributed if they do not make affirmative distribution elections. Account balances greater than $1,000 but less than or equal to $5,000 will be transferred to Individual Retirement Accounts to be established on behalf of the participants. Accounts of $1,000 or less will be paid directly to the Participant. If the participant does not request a distribution and the account balance exceeds $5,000, the participants account shall remain in the Plan and shall be distributed only at (1) the participants request, (2) when the participant attains age 70-1/2 through the payment of Minimum Required Distributions, as described in the Plan, or (3) upon the participants death, whichever is earliest. When a participant dies, the entire amount in the participants account is allocated to the participants beneficiaries. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
|
|
Basis of Accounting |
|
|
|
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. |
|
|
|
Payment of Benefits |
|
|
|
Benefits are recorded when paid. |
|
|
|
Valuation of Investments |
|
|
|
The Lucent Savings Plan and the Plan each have an interest in the assets of the Master Trust. The net asset value of the Plans proportionate share of the Master Trust is calculated by the Trustee. The Trustee determines fair value of the Master Trusts underlying assets in the investment manager portfolios, taking into account values supplied by a reputable pricing or quotation service or quotations furnished by one or more reputable sources, such as securities brokers, dealers or investment bankers, mutual fund administrators or other relevant information. Investments in registered investment companies are stated at fair value as determined by quoted market prices. Investments in Lucent common shares and other securities listed on a national stock exchange are stated at fair value determined on the basis of the New York Stock Exchange closing price on December 31. Securities traded in over-the-counter markets and government obligations are stated at fair value based on the last bid prices or closing prices on December 31, as listed in published sources where available and, if not available, from other sources considered reliable. Contracts with insurance companies and financial institutions, which are fully benefit responsive, are stated at contract value (representing contributions made under the contracts plus accumulated interest at the contract rates), which approximates fair value. All other investments are stated at their fair value at the close of business on December 31 as determined by the Trustee. Participant loans receivable are valued at cost which approximates fair value. |
|
|
|
Purchases and Sales of Investments |
|
|
|
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. |

Plans Share of Master Trust Investment Gain |
|
|
|
The Plans reported investment gain from Master Trust presented in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits represents its interest in the Master Trusts investment gain, which consists of the Master Trusts interest, dividends and net appreciation in fair value of investments. The Master Trust records dividend income on investments held as of the ex-dividend dates and records interest income on the accrual basis. The Master Trusts net appreciation in fair value of investments consists of the net realized gains (losses) and the change in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation). |
|
|
|
Transfers to Other Plans, Net |
|
|
|
The Plan presents in the Statement of Change in Net Assets Available for Benefits the net amount of transfers to other plans. |
|
|
|
Use of Estimates |
|
|
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
|
|
Risks and Uncertainties |
|
|
|
Investments held by the Master Trust are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. |
|
|
|
Derivatives |
|
|
|
From time to time investment fund managers may use derivative financial instruments including forward exchange contracts and future contracts. Derivative instruments are used primarily to mitigate exposure to foreign exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations as well as to manage the investment mix in the portfolio. |
|
|
3. |
Tax Status |
|
|
|
|
|
The Internal Revenue Service determined and informed the Company by a letter dated August 24, 2004, that the Plan and related Group Trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been made. |

Guaranteed and Synthetic Investment Contracts |
|
|
|
The Master Trust holds investments in guaranteed and synthetic investment contracts as part of the Stable Value Fund. These investments are recorded at their contract values. This represents cost plus accrued interest of guaranteed investment contracts and fair value of the collateral plus the benefit responsive wrap value for synthetics, as the contracts are fully benefit-responsive. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. There are currently no reserves against contract values for credit risk of the contract issuers or otherwise. |
|
|
|
The average yield of the guaranteed and synthetic investment contracts was approximately 4.09% and 3.79% for 2005 and 2004, respectively. The crediting interest rate was approximately 4.20% for 2005 and 3.94% for 2004. The crediting interest rate is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuer. Such rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis for resetting. |
|
|
5. |
Termination Priorities |
|
|
|
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company reserves the right under the Plan to amend or terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, the Plan provides that the net assets are to be distributed to participating employees in amounts equal to their respective interests in such assets. |
|
|
6. |
Plan Expenses |
|
|
|
Plan participants pay investment manager and trustee fees and may share certain other administrative costs of the Plan with the Company. Investment manager and trustee fees are generally reflected in the calculation of each funds net asset value per unit. |
|
|
7. |
Master Trust Investments |
|
|
|
The Lucent Savings Plan and the Plan each had an interest in the assets of the Master Trust and the Group Trust in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Investment income and the Plans interest in the net assets of the Master Trust and the Group Trust are allocated based upon the respective participant balances within each fund for each plan. The Plans interest in the Master Trust as of December 31, 2005 and in the Group Trust as of December 31, 2004 was approximately 12% and 13%, respectively. |
