INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To   Conexant Systems, Inc.
     Retirement Savings Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Conexant Systems, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) as of September 30,
2001 and 2000, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended. 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 of America. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of September 30,
2001 and 2000, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule listed in the
Index 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 Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The
schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2001
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

CONEXANT SYSTEMS, INC.
RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 AND 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.      DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

        Effective January 1, 1999, Conexant Systems, Inc. (the Company or Plan
        Sponsor) adopted the Conexant Systems, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the
        Plan). The following description of the Plan provides only general
        information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more
        complete description of the Plan's provisions.

        General - The Plan is a defined-contribution plan designed to qualify
        under Internal Revenue Code (the Code) Section 401(a). The Plan covers
        substantially all non-union employees of the Company. The Plan is
        subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
        of 1974 (ERISA). At September 30, 2001, the Plan had 4,374 participants.

        Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. provides
        recordkeeping services to the Plan in its capacity as agent for the
        trustee, Fidelity Management Trust Company (Fidelity), pursuant to the
        terms of the Trust Agreement between Conexant Systems, Inc. Master Trust
        (the Trust) and Fidelity Management Trust Company. All of the Plan's
        assets and the assets of the Conexant Systems, Inc. Hourly Employees'
        Savings Plan are kept in the Trust. As of September 30, 2001 and 2000,
        the Plan owned 96% and 95%, respectively, of the total net assets
        available for benefits in the Trust. Net assets of the Trust and
        plan-specific expenses are allocated to the Plans based on specific
        identification. Net investment income, gains and losses, and general
        expenses are allocated based on the Plans' proportional share of net
        assets in the Trust.

        Contributions - Effective October 1999, participants could elect to
        contribute from 1% to 17% of base compensation through payroll
        deductions on a pretax, post-tax, or combination basis, up to the annual
        maximum pretax dollar limit established by the Internal Revenue Service
        (IRS). Participants direct the investment of their contributions into
        various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently
        offers 16 mutual funds, an interest in a collective trust, and the
        Conexant Stock Fund B as investment options for participants. The
        Company matches 100% up to the first 4% of employee compensation
        contributed to the Plan. The Company may also, at its discretion, make
        an additional variable match of between 0% and 100% on the first 4% an
        employee contributes, depending on the Company's overall financial
        performance. All Company contributions are directed to the Conexant
        Stock Fund A (not participant-directed).

        Effective January 1, 2002, the Plan was amended to modify the
        Company-matching contribution from a fixed percentage to a percentage to
        be determined from time to time by the Employee Benefit Plan Committee,
        in its sole discretion, and to remove the additional Company
        variable-matching contribution. The Plan was also amended to add a
        Company discretionary profit-sharing contribution, to be determined by
        the Employee Benefit Plan Committee, in its sole discretion, based upon
        the financial performance of the Company. The discretionary
        profit-sharing contribution is to be allocated to all eligible
        participants employed on the last day of the plan year on a pro-rata
        basis based on each participant's compensation.



                                       6


        The amount allocated to any participant cannot exceed the lesser of
        $35,000 or 25% of the participant's total compensation for the plan year
        ended September 30, 2001. For purposes of this limitation, amounts
        allocated shall comprise Company matching contributions and the
        participant's pretax and post-tax contributions. In December 2000, the
        Company allocated a discretionary variable match to all employees that
        participated in the Plan during the year ended September 30, 2000, which
        additional match totaled $4,079,047. No discretionary variable match was
        provided during the year ended September 30, 2001.

        Participant Accounts - Each participant's account reflects the
        participant's contributions, the Company's matching contributions, an
        allocation of Plan earnings (losses), and an allocation of
        administrative expenses. Allocations of administrative expenses are
        equally allocated to all participants.

        Participants are permitted at any time to transfer all or a portion of
        the value of their interest in the Plan's investment funds (including
        Conexant Stock Fund B) which are attributable to their own participant
        contributions into one or more of the other investment funds. A
        participant who has attained the age of 59 1/2, whether or not retired
        from the Company, is permitted to elect at any time to transfer all or a
        portion of the total value of their interest in Conexant Stock Fund A to
        any one or more of the other investment funds. For participants still
        employed with the Company, all subsequent Company-matching contributions
        and Company profit-sharing contributions, if any, will continue to be in
        Conexant common stock and will continue to be directed into Conexant
        Stock Fund A.

        Investment Options - As of September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Plan offered
        investment options in the following funds (percentages are approximate
        and descriptions are based on information extracted from the related
        prospectus):

                Conexant Stock Fund B - Conexant Systems, Inc. common stock,
                cash, and the proceeds and income on such cash and common stock.

                Franklin Small-Cap Growth Fund - A (Fund removed during fiscal
                year 2001) - Primarily invests in equity securities of companies
                with market capitalizations of less than $1.5 billion at the
                time of the investment. The fund may also invest a portion of
                its assets in foreign securities, including those of developing
                markets issuers, which involve greater risk.

                Franklin Small Mid-Cap Growth Fund - A (Fund added during fiscal
                year 2001) - Normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in
                equity securities of small capitalization companies and in the
                equity securities of mid-capitalization companies. The fund may
                invest in equity securities of larger companies, initial public
                offerings of securities and may invest a very small portion of
                its assets in private or illiquid securities, such as late-stage
                venture capital financings.

                Fidelity Fund - Invests primarily in common stocks. The fund
                potentially invests a portion of its assets in bonds, including
                lower-quality debt securities. Invests in domestic and foreign
                issuers.

                Fidelity Growth Company Fund - Invests primarily in common
                stocks of domestic and foreign issuers. The fund invests in

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Basis of Accounting and Presentation - The accompanying financial
        statements and supplemental schedule have been prepared on the accrual
        basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally
        accepted in the United States of America, and present the net assets
        available for benefits and changes in those net assets.

        Reclassifications - Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
        conform to the current year presentation.

        Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
        with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
        America requires the Plan administrator to make estimates and
        assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures.
        Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.

        Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - The Plan's investments are
        stated at fair value. The Plan's investments are valued at their quoted
        market price. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a
        trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

        Payment of Benefits - Benefits are recorded when paid.



                                        9


        Administrative Expenses - The costs of administering the Plan are paid
        for by the Company, with the exception of a per participant fee charged
        by Fidelity Investments, which is applied equally to all participant
        accounts on a quarterly basis.

        Derivative Financial Instruments - Derivative financial instruments are
        accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
        Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
        Hedging Activities". SFAS 133 requires that the Plan recognize all
        derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of net
        assets available for benefits and measure those instruments at fair
        value. As of September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Plan had no derivative
        financial instruments.

4.      INCOME TAXES

        On December 13, 2000, the Company received a favorable determination
        letter from the IRS with respect to the Plan, as amended. The favorable
        determination is subject to the adoption of certain proposed amendments
        that define and modify certain elements in the Plan document. On January
        12, 2001, the proposed amendments were adopted by the Company's Board of
        Directors and were given retroactive effect as of January 1, 1999. The
        Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and
        being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRS
        and the related trust is tax exempt. Therefore, no provision for income
        taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

5.      RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

        The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of
        stocks, bonds, fixed-income securities, and mutual funds. Investment
        securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market,
        and credit. Because of the risks associated with certain investment
        securities and the uncertainties related to changes in the value of
        investment securities, it is possible that changes in the value of such
        securities may materially affect participants' account balances and the
        amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits
        and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.

6.      NONPARTICIPANT-DIRECTED INVESTMENTS

7.      RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by an
        affiliate of Fidelity. Fidelity is the trustee as defined by the Plan
        and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest
        transactions. Administrative fees paid by the Plan for investment
        management services amounted to $166,959 and $126,747 for the years
        ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

8.      SUBSEQUENT EVENT

        On January 7, 2002, the Board of Directors of Conexant Systems, Inc.
        approved a resolution to change the plan year-end to December 31,
        effective with the plan year beginning October 1, 2001.
