REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To Plan Administrator

of the AT&T Savings and Security Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the AT&T Savings and Security Plan as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010. 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 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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.

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, 2010 and 2009, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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, 2010, 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, as amended. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to 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.

AT&T SAVINGS AND SECURITY PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Dollars in Thousands)

  1. Plan Description - The AT&T Savings and Security Plan (Plan) is a defined contribution plan originally established by SBC Communications Inc. (SBC) to provide a convenient way for eligible employees to save for retirement on a regular and long-term basis. In connection with the November 2005 merger of AT&T Corp., SBC changed its name to AT&T Inc. (AT&T or the Company). The majority of eligible employees are represented by the Communications Workers of America or the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers who are employed by participating companies of AT&T. The following description of the Plan provides only general information. The Plan has detailed provisions covering participant eligibility, participant allotments from pay, participant withdrawals, participant loans, employer contributions and related vesting of contributions and Plan expenses. The Plan text and prospectus include complete descriptions of these and other Plan provisions. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).

The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY Mellon) serves as the trustee for the Plan. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (Fidelity) serves as record keeper for the Plan.

In 2010, the Plan was amended to make certain participants eligible to participate in the AT&T Retirement Savings Plan (AT&T RSP). As a result, participant account balances of approximately $24,843 were transferred out of the Plan during 2010.

During 2010, participants could invest their contributions in one or more of seven funds in 1% increments:

· AT&T Shares Fund · Global Equity Fund
· Bond Fund · Mid and Small Cap Stock Fund
· Large Cap Stock Fund · International Stock Fund
· Interest Income Fund

Participants contribute to the Plan through payroll allotments. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit and defined contribution plans (rollovers). The Company contributes to the Plan by matching the participants’ contributions based on the provisions of the Plan. Company matching contributions are made solely in the form of shares of AT&T’s common stock held in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) which is a component of this Plan. Effective January 1, 2009, vested Company contributions made to the Plan that are invested in the ESOP can be immediately diversified into any of the fund options described above. Prior to January 1, 2009, participants could only diversify their vested Company match account beginning with the year following the year they attained age 55. Company contributions made to the Plan prior to January 1, 2009, can be diversified into other fund options as described below. If a participant is not age 55, the Company match account balance that accrued as of December 31, 2008, can be exchanged into another investment fund as follows:

· Effective January 1, 2009, up to 33% of the vested account

· Effective January 1, 2010, up to 66% of the vested account

· Effective January 1, 2011, up to 100% of the vested account

Dividends on shares in the AT&T Shares Fund and the ESOP can either be reinvested in the AT&T Shares Fund on a quarterly basis, or paid into a separate fund known as a Dividend Fund Account (DFA) for distribution at the end of the year. Interest earned on dividends held in the DFA purchases additional units of the AT&T Shares Fund in the participant’s account. During 2010, Plan participants elected to receive $34,309 in dividend distributions. This amount is included in distributions on the Plan’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to the AT&T shares allocated to their account and is notified by the Company prior to the time that such rights may be exercised. Subject to the fiduciary provisions of ERISA, the trustee will not vote any allocated shares for which instructions have not been given by a participant. The trustee votes any unallocated shares in the same proportion as it votes those shares that were allocated to the extent the proportionate vote is consistent with the trustee’s fiduciary obligations under ERISA. Participants have the same voting rights in the event of a tender or exchange offer.

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, AT&T has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA and collective bargaining obligations. In the event that the Plan is terminated, subject to the conditions set forth by ERISA, the account balances of all participants shall be 100% vested.

Administrative Expenses The reasonable expenses of plan administration may be charged to the Plan in accordance with procedures adopted by the plan administrator (as defined by the Plan). Brokerage fees, transfer taxes and other expenses incident to the purchase of sale or securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to be part of the cost of such securities, or deducted in computing the proceeds, as the case may be. Taxes, if any, on any assets held or income received by the Trustee will be charged appropriately against the accounts of Plan participants as determined by the plan administrator. To the extent that expenses incident to the administration of the Plan are paid from the Plan, the plan administrator will determine which expenses are to be charged to and paid from participant’s individual accounts, which expenses are to be charged to and paid from the accounts of all participants (and how they are to be allocated among such accounts), and which expenses are to be charged to and paid from the accounts of one or more identified groups of participants (and how they are to be allocated among such accounts). All expenses of administering the Plan that are not charged to the Plan will be borne by the respective participating companies in the Plan as determined by the plan administrator.

  1. Accounting Policies – The accompanying financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which require management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Distributions are recorded when paid.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition Investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements. Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the year. If no sale was reported on that date, they are valued at the last reported bid price. Shares of registered investment companies are valued based on quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held at year-end. Over-the-counter securities (OTC) and government obligations are valued at the bid price or the average of the bid and asked price on the last business day of the year from published sources where available and, if not available, from other sources considered reliable. Depending on the types and contractual terms of OTC derivatives, fair value is measured using valuation techniques such as Black-Scholes option price models, simulation models, or a combination of various models.

Common/collective trust funds are valued at quoted redemption values that represent the net asset values of units held at year-end. Publicly traded partnerships are valued using trades on a national securities exchange based on the last reported sales price on the last business day of the year.

Investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Plan invests in fully benefit-responsive synthetic investment contracts (Synthetic GICs). The underlying investments of the Synthetic GICs are comprised of corporate bonds and notes, registered investment companies and government securities and are also valued as described above. The fair value of the wrap contracts for the Synthetic GICs is determined using a market approach discounting methodology that incorporates the difference between current market level rates for contract level wrap fees and the wrap fee being charged. The difference is calculated as a dollar value and discounted by the prevailing interpolated swap rate as of period end. The contract value of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts represents contributions plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.

Purchases and sales of securities are reflected as of the trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest earned on investments is recognized on the accrual basis.

Notes Receivable from Participants Notes receivable from participants represent participant loans that are recorded at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income on notes receivable from participants is recorded when it is earned. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are expensed when they are incurred. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2010 or 2009. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the plan administrator deems the participant loan to be a distribution, the participant loan balance is reduced and a distribution is recorded.

Recent Accounting Standards

Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements , (ASU 2010-06). ASU 2010-06 amended Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , (ASC 820) to clarify certain existing fair value disclosures and require a number of additional disclosures. The guidance in ASU 2010-06 clarified that disclosures should be presented separately for each “class” of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and provided guidance on how to determine the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities to be presented. ASU 2010-06 also clarified the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition, ASU 2010-06 introduced new requirements to disclose the amounts (on a gross basis) and reasons for any significant transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy and present information regarding the purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 assets and liabilities on a gross basis. With the exception of the requirement to present changes in Level 3 measurements on a gross basis, which is delayed until 2011, the guidance in ASU 2010-06 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. Since ASU 2010-06 only affects fair value measurement disclosures, adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not affect on the Plan’s net assets available for benefits or its changes in net assets available for benefits.

Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans In September 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-25, Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans , (ASU 2010-25). ASU 2010-25 requires participant loans to be measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest and classified as notes receivable from participants. Previously, loans were measured at fair value and classified as investments. ASU 2010-25 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2010, and is required to be applied retrospectively. Adoption of ASU 2010-25 did not change the value of participant loans from the amount previously reported as of December 31, 2009. Participant loans have been reclassified from investments to notes receivable from participants as of December 31, 2009.

Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 amended ASC 820 , to converge the fair value measurement guidance in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). Some of the amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change a particular principle in ASC 820. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires additional fair value disclosures. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Plan management is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of ASU 2011-04 will have on the Plan’s financial statements.

Reclassifications Participant contributions receivable and employer contributions receivable amounts in the statement of net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2009 have been presented separately to conform to the current year presentation.

  1. Fair Value Measurements – ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.
Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include: · Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; · Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; · Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability; · Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The valuation methodologies described in Note 2 may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts

The Interest Income Fund consists of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts with various financial institutions and insurance companies that promise to repay principal plus accrued income at contract maturity, subject to the creditworthiness of the issuer. Interest crediting rates are generally established when the contract is purchased and are periodically reset. The Interest Income Fund invests in Synthetic GICs, also referred to as wrapper contracts. The assets supporting the Synthetic GICs are owned by the Plan and generally consist of high quality fixed income securities. At December 31, 2010, the underlying assets had a fair value of $951,096 and a contract value of $906,945. At December 31, 2009, the underlying assets had a fair value of $966,750 and a contract value of $937,223. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the average yield earned by the Plan on these contracts was 1.56% and 2.70%, and the average yield earned by the Plan, adjusted to reflect actual interest rate credited to participants, was 3.44% and 3.56%. No valuation reserves were recorded to adjust contract amounts as of December 31, 2010 or 2009.

A bank or insurance company issues a wrapper contract that provides preservation of principal, maintains a stable interest rate and provides daily liquidity at contract value for participant directed transactions, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Wrapper contracts amortize the realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying fixed income investments through adjustments to the future interest crediting rate. The issuer of the wrapper contract provides assurance that the adjustments to the interest crediting rate do not result in a future interest crediting rate that is less than zero, which would result in a loss of principal or accrued interest. The fair value of the wrapper contracts were $2,994 at December 31, 2010 and $2,147 at December 31, 2009.

Wrapper contracts’ interest crediting rates are typically reset on a monthly or quarterly basis and are based on the characteristics of the underlying fixed income securities. Other key factors that influence the interest crediting rates are market interest rates, the amount and timing of participant transactions into and out of the wrapper contract, investment returns on the underlying fixed income securities and the duration of those investments. All wrapper contracts provide for minimum interest crediting rate of zero percent. In the event that the interest crediting rate should fall to zero and the requirements of the wrapper contract are satisfied, the wrapper issuer will pay the Plan the shortfall needed to maintain the rate at zero, ensuring participants’ principal and accrued interest is protected.

Changes in market interest rates can affect the yield to maturity and the market value of the underlying investment, and can have a material impact on the wrapper contract’s interest crediting rate. Additionally, participant withdrawals and transfers from the Interest Income Fund are paid at contract value but funded through the market value liquidation of the underlying

investments, which also impacts the interest crediting rate. The resulting gains and losses in the market value of the underlying investments relative to the wrapper contract value are represented on the Plan’s Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits as the “Adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts,” and totaled $(44,151) at December 31, 2010, and $(29,527) at December 31, 2009. If this adjustment is positive, it indicates that the wrapper contract value is greater than the market value of the underlying investments and the embedded market value losses will be amortized in the future through a lower interest crediting rate. If the adjustment is negative, the embedded market gains would cause the future interest crediting rate to be higher.

In certain circumstances, the amount withdrawn from the wrapper contract could be payable at fair value rather than at contract value. These events include termination of the Plan, a material adverse change to the provisions of the Plan, if AT&T elects to withdraw from a wrapper contract in order to switch to a different investment provider or, in the event of a spin-off or sale of a division, if the terms of the successor plan do not meet the contract issuers’ underwriting criteria for issuance of a clone wrapper contract. Events that would permit a wrapper contract issuer to terminate a wrapper contract upon short notice include the Plan’s loss of its qualified status, un-cured material breaches of responsibilities or material and adverse changes to the provisions of the Plan. The Company does not believe any of the events are probable of occurring in the foreseeable future.

Securities Lending

The Plan is authorized to engage in the lending of certain Interest Income Fund assets. Securities lending is an investment management enhancement that utilizes the existing securities (fixed income investments) of the Plan to earn additional income. Securities lending involves the loaning of securities to a selected group of approved banks and broker-dealers. In return for the loaned securities, the trustee, prior to or simultaneous with delivery of the loaned securities to the borrower, receives collateral in the form of cash or U.S. government securities as a safeguard against possible default of any borrower on the return of the loan under terms that permit the Plan to repledge or sell the securities. Each loan is initially collateralized, in the case of: (a) loaned securities denominated in U.S. dollars or whose primary trading market is located in the U.S. to the extent of 102% of the market value of loaned securities, or (b) loaned securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or whose primary trading market is not located in the U.S. to the extent of 105% of the market value of the loaned securities. The collateral is marked to market on a daily basis. The Plan elected to cease securities lending activity in 2010. All loans were returned to the Plan and all collateral was returned to the borrowers during 2010.

The Plan did not have any securities on loan or collateral held as of December 31, 2010. The fair value of securities on loan was $116,861 as of December 31, 2009, and the value of collateral held was $116,676 as of December 31, 2009. The reported collateral at December 31, 2009 included no noncash holdings. The collateral was invested in common/collective trust funds (classified as Level 2). Income earned on securities lending was used to offset the administrative expenses of the Plan and was $99 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Investment Risk

Investments held by the Plan are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investments could occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefit. Plan participants’ accounts that are invested in the Company stock fund option are exposed to market risk in the event of a significant decline in the value of AT&T stock.

Additionally, the Plan invests in securities with contractual cash flows, such as asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and commercial mortgage backed securities, including securities backed by subprime mortgage loans. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate values, delinquencies or defaults, or both, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.

  1. Related Party Transactions – Plan assets are invested in AT&T stock directly. Because the Company is the plan sponsor, transactions involving the Company’s stock qualify as party-in-interest transactions. In addition, certain investments held by the Plan are managed by BNY Mellon and Fidelity as trustee and record keeper, respectively, as defined by various agreements. Therefore, these transactions and fees paid to these entities qualify as parties-in-interest transactions. All of these transactions are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules.

  2. Nonparticipant-Directed Investments - Information about the net assets and the significant components of the changes in net assets relating to the nonparticipant-directed investments as of December 31 was as follows:

  1. Tax Status - The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) dated March 25, 2004, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the IRS, the Plan was amended and restated. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended and restated, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt. In addition, the Plan has filed with the IRS for a new favorable determination letter on February 2, 2009, pursuant to, and as part of, the IRS determination letter filing program (Cycle C).

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require Plan management to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken by the Plan. The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2010, there were no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Plan has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2007.
