Note 1: Basis of Presentation

        In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of Hewlett-Packard Company and its consolidated subsidiaries ("HP") contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly HP's financial position as of April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, its results of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 and its cash flows for the six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013.

        The results of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2014 and cash flows for the six months ended April 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with HP's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, including "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" and the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Items 7, 7A and 8, respectively, included therein.

        The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of HP and other subsidiaries and affiliates in which HP has a controlling financial interest. Non-controlling interests are presented as a separate component within Total stockholder's equity in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Net earnings attributable to the non-controlling interests are eliminated within Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and are not presented separately as they were not material for any period presented. HP has eliminated all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in HP's Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Segment Reorganization

        HP has implemented certain segment and business unit realignments in order to align its segment financial reporting more closely with its current business structure. Prior year segment and business unit financial information have been conformed to the current-year presentation. None of the changes impacts HP's previously reported consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per share. See Note 16 for a further discussion of HP's segment reorganization.

Accounting Pronouncements

        In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The amendments are based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. HP is required to adopt the amendments in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Early adoption is not permitted. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. HP is

currently evaluating the impact of these amendments and the transition alternatives on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

        In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance which changes the criteria for identifying a discontinued operation. The guidance limits the definition of a discontinued operation to the disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, with early adoption permitted for transactions that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued.

        In July 2013, the FASB issued a new accounting standard requiring the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits as reductions to deferred tax assets rather than as liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. HP will be required to adopt this new standard on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2015; however, early adoption is permitted as is retrospective application. HP is currently evaluating the timing, transition method and impact of this new standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2: Stock-Based Compensation

        HP's stock-based compensation plans include HP's principal equity plans as well as various equity plans assumed through business combinations. HP's principal equity plans permit the issuance of restricted stock awards, stock options and performance-based awards.

        Stock-based compensation expense and the resulting tax benefits were as follows:

Restricted Stock Awards

        Restricted stock awards are non-vested stock awards that include grants of restricted stock and grants of restricted stock units. For the six months ended April 30, 2014, HP granted only restricted stock units.

Note 2: Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

        Non-vested restricted stock awards outstanding as of April 30, 2014 and changes during the six months ended April 30, 2014 were as follows:

        At April 30, 2014, there was $617 million of unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards, which HP expects to recognize over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.5 years.

Stock Options

        HP utilizes the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula to estimate the fair value of stock options subject to service-based vesting conditions. HP estimates the fair value of stock options subject to performance-contingent vesting conditions using a combination of a Monte Carlo simulation model and a lattice model, as these awards contain market conditions. The weighted-average fair value and the assumptions used to measure fair value were as follows:

Note 2: Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

        Options outstanding as of April 30, 2014 and changes during the six months ended April 30, 2014 were as follows:

        The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value that option holders would have realized had all option holders exercised their options on April 30, 2014. The aggregate intrinsic value is the difference between HP's closing stock price on the last trading day of the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options. Total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three and six months ended April 30, 2014 was $33 million and $57 million, respectively.

        At April 30, 2014, there was $110 million of unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, which HP expects to recognize over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.2 years.

Note 3: Net Earnings Per Share

        HP calculates basic net earnings per share ("EPS") using net earnings and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net EPS includes any dilutive effect of restricted stock awards, stock options and performance-based awards.

Note 3: Net Earnings Per Share (Continued)

        The reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of each of the basic and diluted net EPS calculations were as follows:

        HP excludes options with exercise prices that are greater than the average market price from the calculation of diluted net EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive. As such, for both the three and six months ended April 30, 2014, HP excluded options to purchase 19 million shares from the calculation of diluted net EPS compared to 53 million shares for both the three and six months ended April 30, 2013. HP also excluded options to purchase an additional 7 million shares and 8 million shares for the three and six months ended April 30, 2014, respectively, from the calculation of diluted net EPS compared to an additional 2 million shares and 6 million shares for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013, respectively, as their combined exercise price, unrecognized compensation and excess tax benefits were greater in each of those periods than the average market price for HP's stock.

Note 4: Balance Sheet Details (Continued)

        HP has third-party revolving short-term financing arrangements intended to facilitate the working capital requirements of certain customers. In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, HP expanded its financing arrangements, adding $1.6 billion of capacity. These financing arrangements, which in certain cases provide for partial recourse, result in a transfer of HP's trade receivables and collection risk to third parties. These trade receivables are derecognized from the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets on transfer and when HP receives payment for the transferred trade receivables from the third parties. At April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, $468 million and $171 million of transferred trade receivables had not been collected from the third parties.

        For the arrangements involving an element of recourse, the recourse obligation is measured using market data from similar transactions and reported as a current liability in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

        Trade receivables sold and cash received under these facilities was as follows:

Property, Plant and Equipment

        For the six months ended April 30, 2014, the change in gross property, plant and equipment was due primarily to investments of $1,845 million, which were partially offset by sales and retirements totaling $1,479 million. Accumulated depreciation associated with the assets sold and retired was $1,152 million.

Note 5: Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

        Goodwill allocated to HP's reportable segments as of April 30, 2014 and changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the six months ended April 30, 2014 are as follows:

        Effective at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2014, HP implemented certain organizational changes to align its segment financial reporting more closely with its current business structure. As a result of the organizational realignments, which are described in detail in Note 16, goodwill has been reclassified to the respective segments as of the beginning of the period using a relative fair value approach.

        Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. At the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2014, HP made a change to its reporting units. In connection with continued operational synergies and interdependencies between the Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking reporting unit and the Technology Services ("TS") reporting unit within the Enterprise Group ("EG") segment, HP combined these reporting units to create the EG reporting unit. As of April 30, 2014 our reporting units are consistent with the reportable segments identified in Note 16, except for ES, which includes two reporting units: MphasiS Limited; and the remainder of ES.

        HP evaluates the recoverability of goodwill as of the beginning of its fourth fiscal quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate there may be a potential impairment.

Note 6: Restructuring Charges

Summary of Restructuring Plans

        HP's restructuring activities summarized by plan were as follows:

        At April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, HP included the short-term portion of the restructuring liability of $572 million and $901 million, respectively, in Accrued restructuring, and the long-term portion of $239 million and $216 million, respectively, in Other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The timing of associated cash payments is dependent upon the type of restructuring charge and can extend over a multi-year period.

Fiscal 2012 Restructuring Plan

        On May 23, 2012, HP adopted a multi-year restructuring plan (the "2012 Plan") designed to simplify business processes, accelerate innovation and deliver better results for customers, employees and stockholders. As of April 30, 2014, HP estimated that it will eliminate approximately 34,000 positions in connection with the 2012 Plan through fiscal 2014, with a portion of those employees exiting the company as part of voluntary enhanced early retirement ("EER") programs in the United States and in certain other countries. As of April 30, 2014, HP estimated that it would recognize approximately $4.0 billion in aggregate charges in connection with the 2012 Plan. HP expected to record these charges through the end of HP's fiscal 2014 as the accounting recognition criteria are met. HP expects to incur approximately $3.5 billion related to workforce reductions, including the EER programs, and approximately $500 million related to infrastructure, including data center and real estate consolidation, and other items. As of April 30, 2014, HP had eliminated approximately 31,400 positions for which a severance payment has been or will be made as part of the 2012 Plan. The severance- and infrastructure-related cash payments associated with the 2012 Plan are expected to be paid out through fiscal 2021.

        On May 22, 2014, HP announced that the previously estimated number of eliminated positions under the 2012 Plan is expected to increase by between 11,000 and 16,000 as HP continues to optimize the workforce and reengineer HP's business processes to be more competitive and meet its objectives.

Note 6: Restructuring Charges (Continued)

HP estimates it will recognize an additional charge of approximately $500 million based on the low-end of the estimated headcount increase and as the accounting recognition criteria are met. HP expects the related cash flow impact to be approximately $200 million through the end of fiscal 2014, and approximately $300 million thereafter.

        HP expects a total of 41,000 positions to be eliminated by the end of fiscal 2014, with the remainder to be eliminated in fiscal 2015.

Other Plans

        Restructuring plans initiated by HP in fiscal 2008 and 2010 were substantially completed as of April 30, 2014. Severance- and infrastructure-related cash payments associated with the other plans are expected to be paid out through fiscal 2019.

Note 7: Fair Value

        Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Fair Value Hierarchy

        HP uses valuation techniques that are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable or market inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect HP's assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available. Assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

        Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

        Level 2—Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

        Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

        The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable inputs and lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

Note 7: Fair Value (Continued)

        The following table presents HP's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

        For the six months ended April 30, 2014, there were no transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation Techniques

        Cash Equivalents and Investments:    HP holds time deposits, money market funds, mutual funds, other debt securities primarily consisting of corporate and foreign government notes and bonds, and common stock and equivalents. HP values cash equivalents and equity investments using quoted market prices, alternative pricing sources, including net asset value, or models utilizing market observable inputs. The fair value of debt instruments was based on quoted market prices or model-driven valuations using inputs primarily derived from or corroborated by observable market data, and, in certain instances, internally developed valuation models that utilize assumptions which cannot be corroborated with observable market data.

Note 7: Fair Value (Continued)

        Derivative Instruments:    HP uses forward contracts, interest rate and total return swaps and option contracts to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. When prices in active markets are not available for the identical asset or liability, HP uses industry standard valuation models to measure fair value. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to present value using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves, HP and counterparty credit risk, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies and interest rates. See Note 8 for a further discussion of HP's use of derivative instruments.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

        Short- and Long-Term Debt:    HP estimates the fair value of its debt primarily using an expected present value technique, which is based on observable market inputs using interest rates currently available to companies of similar credit standing for similar terms and remaining maturities, and considering its own credit risk. The portion of HP's debt that is hedged is reflected in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as an amount equal to the debt's carrying amount and a fair value adjustment representing changes in the fair value of the hedged debt obligations arising from movements in benchmark interest rates. The estimated fair value of HP's short- and long-term debt was approximately $23.0 billion at April 30, 2014, compared to its carrying value of $22.6 billion at that date. The estimated fair value of HP's short- and long-term debt was approximately $22.7 billion at October 31, 2013, compared to its carrying value of $22.6 billion at that date. If measured at fair value in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, short- and long-term debt would be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Other Financial Instruments:    For the balance of HP's financial instruments, primarily accounts receivable, accounts payable and financial liabilities included in other accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. If measured at fair value in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, these other financial instruments would be classified in Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Non-Marketable Equity Investments and Non-Financial Assets:    HP's non-marketable equity investments and non-financial assets, such as intangible assets, goodwill and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at fair value in the period an impairment charge is recognized.

Cash Equivalents and Available-for-Sale Investments

        Cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments were as follows:

        All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition are considered cash equivalents. As of April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the carrying value of cash equivalents approximated fair value due to the short period of time to maturity. Time deposits were primarily issued by institutions outside the United States as of April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013. The estimated fair value of the available-for-sale investments may not be representative of values that will be realized in the future.

        Contractual maturities of short- and long-term investments in available-for-sale debt securities were as follows:

Note 8: Financial Instruments (Continued)

        Equity securities in privately held companies include cost basis and equity method investments. These amounted to $52 million and $50 million at April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively, and are included in Long-term financing receivables and other assets in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Derivative Instruments

        HP is a global company exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and interest rate changes in the normal course of its business. As part of its risk management strategy, HP uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, option contracts, interest rate swaps, and total return swaps, to hedge certain foreign currency, interest rate and, to a lesser extent, equity exposures. HP's objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from these exposures with losses and gains on the derivative contracts used to hedge them, thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting the fair value of assets and liabilities. HP does not have any leveraged derivatives and does not use derivative contracts for speculative purposes. HP designates its derivatives as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation ("net investment hedges"). Additionally, for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, HP categorizes those economic hedges as other derivatives. HP recognizes all derivative instruments at fair value in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. HP classifies cash flows from its derivative programs as operating activities in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

        As a result of its use of derivative instruments, HP is exposed to the risk that its counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate counterparty credit risk, HP has a policy of only entering into contracts with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors, and HP maintains dollar risk limits that correspond to each institution's credit rating and other factors. HP's established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk include reviewing and establishing limits for credit exposure and periodically re-assessing the creditworthiness of counterparties. Master netting agreements mitigate credit exposure to counterparties by permitting HP to net amounts due from HP to a counterparty against amounts due to HP from the same counterparty under certain conditions.

        To further mitigate credit exposure to counterparties, HP has collateral security agreements that allow HP to hold collateral from, or require HP to post collateral to, counterparties when aggregate derivative fair values exceed contractually established thresholds which are generally based on the credit ratings of HP and its counterparties. If HP's or the counterparty's credit rating falls below a specified credit rating, either party has the right to request full collateralization of the derivatives' net liability position. Collateral is generally posted within two business days. The fair value of derivatives with credit contingent features in a net liability position was $258 million and $207 million at April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively, all of which were fully collateralized within two business days.

        Under HP's derivative contracts, the counterparty can terminate all outstanding trades following a covered change of control event affecting HP that results in the surviving entity being rated below a specified credit rating. This credit contingent provision did not affect HP's financial position as of April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013.

Note 8: Financial Instruments (Continued)

Fair Value Hedges

        HP issues long-term debt in U.S. dollars based on market conditions at the time of financing. HP may enter into fair value hedges, such as interest rate swaps, to reduce the exposure of its debt portfolio to changes in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates by achieving a primarily U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating interest expense. The swap transactions generally involve principal and interest obligations for U.S. dollar-denominated amounts. Alternatively, HP may choose not to swap fixed for floating interest payments or may terminate a previously executed swap if it believes a larger proportion of fixed-rate debt would be beneficial.

        When investing in fixed-rate instruments, HP may enter into interest rate swaps that convert the fixed interest payments into variable interest payments and may designate these swaps as fair value hedges.

        For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, HP recognizes the change in fair value on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting change in fair value on the hedged item, in Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings in the period of change.

Cash Flow Hedges

        HP uses a combination of forward contracts and option contracts designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in its forecasted net revenue and, to a lesser extent, cost of sales, operating expenses, and intercompany loans denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. HP's foreign currency cash flow hedges mature generally within twelve months; however, certain leasing revenue-related forward contracts and intercompany loan forward contracts extend for the duration of the lease or loan term, which can be up to five years.

        For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, HP initially records changes in fair value for the effective portion of the derivative instrument in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders' equity in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassifies these amounts into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. HP reports the effective portion of its cash flow hedges in the same financial statement line item as changes in the fair value of the hedged item. During the three and six months ended April 30, 2014, HP did not discontinue any cash flow hedge for which it was probable that a forecasted transaction would not occur. During the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 there was no significant impact to results of operations as a result of discontinued cash flow hedges.

Net Investment Hedges

        HP uses forward contracts designated as net investment hedges to hedge net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local currency. As these derivative instruments are designated as net investment hedges, HP records the effective portion of the derivative instrument together with changes in the fair value of the hedged items in Cumulative translation adjustment as a separate component of stockholders' equity in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Other Derivatives

        Other derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist primarily of forward contracts HP uses to hedge foreign currency-denominated balance sheet exposures. HP also uses total return swaps and, to a lesser extent, interest rate swaps, based on equity or fixed income indices, to hedge its executive deferred compensation plan liability.

        For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, HP recognizes changes in fair value in earnings in the period of change. HP recognizes change in fair value on foreign currency forward contracts used to hedge balance sheet exposures in Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings in the same period as the remeasurement gain or loss of the related foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. HP recognizes the change in fair value on total return swaps and interest rate swaps in Interest and other, net in the same period as the gain or loss from changes in the amount owed to participants in the executive deferred compensation plan.

Hedge Effectiveness

        For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges, HP measures effectiveness by offsetting the change in fair value of the hedged instrument with the change in fair value of the derivative. For foreign currency options and forward contracts designated as cash flow or net investment hedges, HP measures effectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the hedge contract with the cumulative change in the hedged item, both of which are based on forward rates. HP recognizes any ineffective portion of the hedge in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings in the same period in which ineffectiveness occurs. Amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings in the period they arise.

Offsetting of Derivative Instruments

        HP recognizes all derivatives on a gross basis in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. HP does not offset the fair value of its derivative instruments against the fair value of cash collateral posted under its collateral security agreements. As of April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, information related to the potential effect of HP's master netting agreements and collateral security agreements was as follows:

        As of April 30, 2014 and 2013, the portion of hedging instruments gain or loss excluded from the assessment of effectiveness was not material for fair value, cash flow or net investment hedges. Hedge ineffectiveness for fair value, cash flow and net investment hedges was not material in the three and six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013.

        As of April 30, 2014, HP expects to reclassify an estimated net accumulated other comprehensive loss of approximately $202 million, net of taxes, to earnings in the next twelve months associated with cash flow hedges along with the earnings effects of the related forecasted transactions.

        The pre-tax effect of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings for the three and six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 was as follows:

Note 9: Financing Receivables and Operating Leases

        Financing receivables represent sales-type and direct-financing leases resulting from the placement of HP and third-party products. These receivables typically have terms ranging from two to five years and are usually collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets. Financing receivables also include billed receivables from operating leases. The components of financing receivables, which are included in Financing receivables, net and Long-term financing receivables and other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, were as follows:

Credit Quality Indicators

        Due to the homogenous nature of its leasing transactions, HP manages its financing receivables on an aggregate basis when assessing and monitoring credit risk. Credit risk is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising HP's customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographical regions. HP evaluates the credit quality of an obligor at lease inception and monitors that credit quality over the term of a transaction. HP assigns risk ratings to each lease based on the creditworthiness of the obligor and other variables that augment or mitigate the inherent credit risk of a particular transaction. Such variables include the underlying value and liquidity of the collateral, the essential use of the equipment, the term of the lease, and the inclusion of guarantees, letters of credit, security deposits or other credit enhancements.

        The credit risk profile of gross financing receivables, based on internally assigned ratings, was as follows:

Note 9: Financing Receivables and Operating Leases (Continued)

        Accounts rated low risk typically have the equivalent of a Standard & Poor's rating of BBB- or higher, while accounts rated moderate risk generally have the equivalent of BB+ or lower. HP classifies accounts as high risk when it considers the financing receivable to be impaired or when management believes that there is a significant near-term risk of impairment.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

        The allowance for doubtful accounts for financing receivables is comprised of a general reserve and a specific reserve. HP maintains general reserve percentages on a regional basis and bases such percentages on several factors, including consideration of historical credit losses and portfolio delinquencies, trends in the overall weighted-average risk rating of the portfolio, current economic conditions and information derived from competitive benchmarking. HP excludes accounts evaluated as part of the specific reserve from the general reserve analysis. HP establishes a specific reserve for leases with identified exposures, such as customer defaults, bankruptcy or other events, that make it unlikely HP will recover its investment in the lease. For individually evaluated receivables, HP determines the expected cash flow for the receivable, which includes consideration of estimated proceeds from disposition of the collateral, and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts where a loss is considered probable, HP records a specific reserve. HP generally records a write-off or specific reserve when an account reaches 180 days past due, or sooner if HP determines that the account is not collectible.

        The allowance for doubtful accounts for financing receivables as of April 30, 2014, and changes during the six months ended April 30, 2014 were as follows:

Note 9: Financing Receivables and Operating Leases (Continued)

        The gross financing receivables and related allowance collectively and individually evaluated for loss were as follows:

Non-Accrual and Past-Due Financing Receivables

        HP considers a financing receivable to be past due when the minimum payment is not received by the contractually specified due date. HP generally places financing receivables on non-accrual status (suspension of interest accrual) and considers such receivables to be non-performing at the earlier of the time at which full payment of principal and interest becomes doubtful or the receivable becomes contractually 90 days past due. Subsequently, HP may recognize revenue on non-accrual financing receivables as payments are received (i.e., on a cash basis) if HP deems the recorded financing receivable to be fully collectible; however, if there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectability of the recorded financing receivable, all cash receipts are applied to the carrying amount of the financing receivable (i.e., the cost recovery method). In certain circumstances, such as when HP deems a delinquency to be of an administrative nature, financing receivables may accrue interest after they reach 90 days past due. The non-accrual status of a financing receivable may not impact a customer's risk rating. After all of a customer's delinquent principal and interest balances are settled, HP may return the related financing receivable to accrual status.
