                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


Participants and Administrative Committee of the
Compaq Computer Corporation
401(k) Investment Plan


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Compaq Computer Corporation 401(k) Investment Plan as of December 31, 2001
and 2000, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the 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. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. Our audits were performed
for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a
whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as
of December 31, 2001, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is
not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The
supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The
supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in
all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

COMPAQ COMPUTER CORPORATION
401(K) INVESTMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
----------------------

GENERAL

The following description of the Compaq Computer Corporation 401(k) Investment
Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information only. The Plan,
established April 1, 1985, is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible
employees of Compaq Computer Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries (the
"Company"). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Participants should refer to the Summary
Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions, a
copy of which is available from the Company.

The Plan was restated in its entirety effective January 1, 2001 to amend the
Plan to comply with tax legislation acts and to reflect certain provisions of
the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001.

Effective September 4, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of
reorganization with Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP") and Heloise Merger
Corporation. Effective May 3, 2002, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary
of HP.

Effective January 2, 2001, in connection with certain divestitures, net assets
of approximately $1.6 million representing individual account balances of
certain participants were transferred to the B2E Solutions 401(k) Plan.

Effective December 31, 2001, individual account balances from B2E Solutions
401(k) Plan of approximately $1.6 million were returned to the Plan.

Effective December 31, 2001, net assets of approximately $2.9 million
representing individual account balances returned to the Plan from Ranier
Technology, Inc. 401(k) Plan.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Participants may contribute from 1% to 19% of pretax annual compensation, as
defined in the plan document. Participants may also rollover amounts
representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined
contribution plans.


                                      -4-




The Company contributes an amount equal to the participant's contribution which
does not exceed 6% of $170,000 of base compensation for all participants except
certain former employees of Digital Equipment Corporation ("Digital"). For those
former Digital employees who had elected to earn employer pay credits in another
company-sponsored benefit plan, so long as they remain eligible, the Company
contributes an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 33 1/3% of such participant's
contributions or (ii) 2% of the participant's compensation, not to exceed
$170,000 of base compensation, to the 401(k) plan and contributes the remaining
4% as an employer credit in the other company-sponsored benefit plan.

Participants direct the investment allocation of all contributions.

PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and
allocations of (a) the Company's contribution, and (b) Plan earnings or losses,
and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses, if any. Forfeited
balances of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are used to reduce
future Company contributions or pay eligible plan expenses. The benefit to which
a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
participant's vested account, net of any outstanding loans against those vested
amounts.

VESTING

Participants are immediately vested in their deferral and rollover contributions
plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company contribution portion of
their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of service.
Effective January 1, 1999, participants vest 20% per year in the employer
contributions with 100% vesting after 5 years of credited service. The Plan
document provides the vesting provisions for a participant's interest in their
employer contribution account prior to January 1, 1999.



                                      -5-




PARTICIPANT LOANS

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up to a maximum equal to the
lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from
1 - 5 years or up to 30 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans
are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a
fixed rate of 1% above the prime rate for the term of the loan. Principal and
interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions. A participant can have no
more than three loans outstanding at any given time.

PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

On termination of service or death, a participant or beneficiary may elect to
receive Plan benefits in either a lump-sum distribution or in periodic
installments. In addition, a participant who has attained age 59 1/2 may make
withdrawals of his or her account while employed by the Company. The Plan also
allows for hardship withdrawals.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

The Company pays certain administrative expenses of the Plan.

PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination,
participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.


2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
---------------------------------

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The financial statements have been prepared under the accrual basis of
accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. Benefits are recorded when paid.


                                      -6-




INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, which represents the quoted
market price on the last business day of the Plan year. Shares of registered
investment companies are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net
asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The Company stock is valued
at its quoted market price. Investments in common collective trust funds are
based on the quoted market value as determined by the issuer based on the fair
value of the underlying investments. The participant loans are valued at their
outstanding balances, which approximates fair value.

The Stable Value Fund is stated at fair value, which approximates contract
value. It is expected that each unit of the Stable Value Fund will maintain a
constant net asset value of $1. However, there is no assurance that this will be
the case. Contract value represents contributions made plus interest accrued at
the contract rate, less withdrawals. Insurance contracts and bank contracts are
nontransferable, but provide for benefit-responsive withdrawals by Plan
participants at contract value in accordance with Statement of Position 94-4.
The Stable Value Fund invests in both guaranteed investment contracts and
alternative investment contracts. The guaranteed investment contracts are
promises by an insurance company or bank to repay principal plus accrued income
at contract maturity subject to the credit worthiness of the issuer. Alternative
investment contracts consist of investments together with contracts under which
a bank or other institution provides for benefit responsive withdrawals by Plan
participants at contract value. In determining fair value, the Board of
Directors of the Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company considers such factors as the
benefit responsiveness of the investment contracts, the ability of the parties
to perform in accordance with the terms of the contracts, and the likelihood
that plan-directed withdrawals would cause payments to Plan participants to be
at amounts other than contract value. There are no limitations on liquidity
guarantees and no valuation reserves are being recorded to adjust contract
amounts.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


                                      -7-




RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan provides for various investments in common stock, mutual funds, and the
Stable Value Fund. In general, investment securities are exposed to various
risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility risk. Due to
the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is
reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will
occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts
reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits and participant
account balances.

3. INVESTMENTS
--------------

The Plan's investments are held by Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company. Individual
investments that represent 5% or more of net assets available for benefits at
year end are as follows:

                                                                       $ (459,749,170)
                                                                       ===============



                                      -8-




The average yield of the Stable Value Fund for 2001 and 2000 was 6.24% and
6.86%, respectively. The crediting interest rates at December 31, 2001 and 2000
range from 4.50% to 7.84% and 5.64% to 7.84%, respectively. Investment contracts
typically mature between 2 and 5 years after the date of initial deposit. The
interest rate paid by the issuer or contract rate may be fixed over the life of
the contract or adjusted periodically. Contract rates should not fall below
-0-%.


4. INCOME TAX STATUS
--------------------

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") dated January 3, 1995, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related
trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate
in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan document was
