                                     PART I
 
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
    Tyco International Ltd. (the "Company" or "Tyco"), through its divisions and
operating subsidiaries, engages in the manufacture and distribution of
disposable medical supplies and other specialty products, the design,
manufacture, installation and service of fire detection and suppression systems,
and the manufacture and distribution of flow control products and electrical and
electronic components. The Company maintains a strong leadership position in
each of its segments of these markets. See Notes 12 and 13 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for certain consolidated segment and geographic financial
data relating to the Company's businesses.
 
I. DISPOSABLE AND SPECIALTY PRODUCTS
 
    Tyco's Disposable and Specialty Products Group consists of Kendall
International Inc., Ludlow Laminating and Coating, Armin Plastics, Twitchell,
and Accurate Forming. Kendall manufactures and distributes medical supplies,
disposable medical products and adhesive products and tapes. Ludlow Laminating
and Coating manufactures laminated and coated products. Armin manufactures
polyethylene film and packaging products. Twitchell manufactures extrusion
coated polyester yarns and woven fabrics and Accurate manufactures deep-drawn
metal parts. In the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company acquired Carlisle
Plastics, Inc. ("Carlisle"), a manufacturer of specialty packaging materials and
garment hangers.
 
  Kendall
 
    Kendall conducts its operations through four business units: Kendall
Healthcare, Kendall International, Kendall-Polyken and Ludlow Technical
Products. In each of its business units, Kendall competes with numerous
companies, including a number of larger, well-established companies. Kendall
relies on its reputation for quality and dependable service, together with its
low cost manufacturing and innovative products, to compete in its markets.
 
    Kendall Healthcare. The Kendall Healthcare business unit markets a broad
range of wound care, vascular therapy, urological care, incontinence care,
anesthetic care and other products to U.S. and Canadian hospitals and alternate
site health care customers. Kendall Healthcare is the industry leader in gauze
production with its Kerlix(R) and Curity(R) brands. Kendall Healthcare's other
core domestic product category consists of its vascular therapy products,
principally anti-embolism stockings, marketed under the T.E.D.(R) brand name,
sequential pneumatic compression devices sold under the SCDTM brand name and a
venous plexus foot pump. Kendall Healthcare pioneered the pneumatic compression
form of treatment and continues to be the dominant participant in the pneumatic
compression and elastic stocking segments of the vascular therapy market.
 
    Kendall acquired Professional Medical Products, Inc. ("ProMed") in February
1996. ProMed is a leading provider of incontinent care products, marketing
primarily to nursing homes and other institutional providers of long term care.
ProMed also offers a range of other patient care products, including urological,
wound care, surgical care and respiratory care products.
 
    Kendall's Superior Healthcare Group, Inc., acquired in April 1994,
manufactures a broad line of disposable medical supplies including respiratory,
urology and nursing care products. In October 1994, Kendall acquired Sheridan
Catheter Corporation, a manufacturer of airway management, temperature
monitoring and specialty products serving patients in anesthesia, critical care
and emergency medicine.
 
    Kendall Healthcare distributes its products both directly through its sales
force and through a network of over 250 independent distributors. Kendall
Healthcare's sales force is divided into three groups: one promoting its
vascular therapy products, one promoting its wound care and other health care
products and one selling all of its products into the alternate site markets.
Most of the U.S. distributors also sell similar products made by Kendall's
competitors, a practice common in the industry.
<PAGE>
    Kendall International. Kendall International is responsible for the
manufacturing, marketing, distribution and export of Kendall products in
numerous countries worldwide. Kendall International's operations are organized
primarily into three geographic regions--Europe, Latin America and the Far East.
Kendall International generally markets a range of products similar to those of
Kendall Healthcare, although the mix of product lines varies from country to
country. Kendall International markets directly to hospital and medical
professionals and through independent distributors.
 
    Kendall-Polyken. The Kendall-Polyken division manufactures and markets
specialty adhesive products and tapes for industrial applications, including
external corrosion protection tape products for oil, gas and water pipelines.
Other industrial applications include tapes used in the automotive industry for
wire harness wraps, sealing and other purposes, and tapes used in the aerospace
and heating and air conditioning (HVAC) industries. Kendall-Polyken also
produces duct, packaging and electrical tapes for consumer applications and
bandages and medical tapes for Kendall's healthcare product units and for
others.
 
    The Company acquired Nashua Corporation's tape business and Betham
Corporation in May 1996. The tape operation manufactures duct, foil and
strapping tapes and spray adhesives for industrial and consumer markets
worldwide. Betham develops specialty pressure sensitive adhesives and coatings,
principally for the automotive, medical and specialty markets. Both are being
integrated with Polyken's existing operations.
 
    Polyken generally markets its pipeline products directly, working with local
manufacturers' representatives, international engineering and construction
companies, and the owners and operators of pipeline transportation facilities.
Polyken sells its other industrial products either directly to major end users
or through diverse distribution channels, depending on the industry being
served.
 
    Technical Products. The Technical Products division manufactures and sells a
variety of disposable medical products, specialized paper and film products.
These products include disposable electrodes for medical devices, hydrogels,
adhesive tapes, pressure sensitive coated papers and films used for business
forms and in printing applications, high quality facsimile paper and recording
chart papers for medical and industrial instrumentation.
 
    The Technical Products division was originally a division of Ludlow.
Subsequent to the acquisition of Kendall, the Company reorganized to align
Technical Products with Kendall. Over the last three years, Technical Products
has made a series of acquisitions to expand its product line and presence in the
disposable medical products field. Uni-Patch, acquired in December 1993, is a
manufacturer and distributor of transcutaneous electrical nerve simulation
("TENS") electrodes and related products which are used primarily in physical
therapy and other forms of rehabilitation medicine. Classic Medical Products,
acquired in December 1993, is a manufacturer of medical electrodes for EKGs and
similar diagnostic tests. Promeon, acquired in January 1994, is a leading
manufacturer of gels which are used with medical electrodes for testing and
other monitoring purposes. LMI, acquired in November 1994, is a manufacturer of
medical electrodes. Cambrex, acquired in December 1994, is a producer of
hydrogel wound care products. Sentry Medical, acquired in May 1996, manufactures
neonatal electrodes, diagnostic and monitoring electrodes, electrotherapy
electrodes and cable and lead wires.
 
    These products are marketed primarily by the division's internal sales
force. Competitors vary from small regional firms to larger firms that compete
with Technical Products on a national basis. Competition is on the basis of
price and quality.
 
  Ludlow Laminating and Coating
 
    Ludlow Laminating and Coating produces protective packaging and other
materials made of coated or laminated combinations of paper, polyethylene and
foil. Coated packaging materials provide barriers against grease, oil, light,
heat, moisture, oxygen and other contaminants that could damage the
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
contained products. The division produces structural coated and laminated
products such as plastic coated kraft, linerboard and bleached boards for rigid
urethane insulation panels, automotive components and wallboard panels. Other
applications include packaging for photographic film, frozen foods, health care
products, electrical and metallic components, agricultural chemicals, cement and
specialty resins.
 
    Ludlow markets its laminated and coated products through its internal sales
force and through independent manufacturers' representatives. The Company
competes with many large manufacturers of laminated and coated products on the
basis of price, service, marketing coverage and custom application engineering.
There are numerous specialized competitors which tend to differ from market to
market.
 
  Armin
 
    Armin manufactures polyethylene film and packaging products in a wide range
of size, gauge, construction strength, stretch capacity, clarity and color.
Armin extrudes low density, high density and linear low density polyethylene
film from resin purchased in pellet form, using such additives as coloring, slip
and anti-block chemicals. Armin's products include plastic supermarket
packaging, greenhouse sheeting, shipping covers and liners and a variety of
other packaging configurations for the aerospace, agricultural, automotive,
construction, cosmetics, electronics, food processing, healthcare,
pharmaceutical and shipping industries. Armin also manufactures a number of
other polyethylene products, such as reusable plastic pallets, transformer pads
for electric utilities, and a large variety of disposable gloves for the
cosmetic, medical, foodhandling and pharmaceutical industries. A majority of
sales are generated through Armin's internal sales force. Armin serves over
6,000 customers in the United States.
 
    Armin competes with a wide range of manufacturers, including some vertically
integrated companies and companies that manufacture polyethylene resins for
their own use. Armin competes in many market segments by emphasizing product
innovation, specialization and customer service.
 
  Twitchell
 
    Twitchell manufactures extrusion coated polyester yarns and woven PVC-coated
yarn fabrics and woven and knit paper fabrics. These fabrics are sold by
Twitchell's internal sales force and through distributors to manufacturers for
use principally in outdoor furniture, wall coverings, window screening, awnings,
housewares and other specialty products. Non-woven fabric is coated and sold for
use as disposable medical clothing. Competition is on the basis of price,
quality and service. Twitchell competes with a number of U.S. and foreign
manufacturers in the sale of woven fabrics and coated products.
 
  Accurate Forming
 
    Accurate Forming manufactures deep-drawn metal parts, primarily barrels,
caps and clips for pens and pencils and containers, caps and closures for
cosmetics, pharmaceutical packaging and automotive applications. Accurate sells
its products on a direct basis through its internal sales force and also
utilizes manufacturers' representatives. The Company competes with many small,
independent deep-drawn metal manufacturers and plastic extruders, several of
which have manufacturing locations in the Far East. Competition is on the basis
of price.
 
  Carlisle
 
    Carlisle was acquired in September 1996 and is a leading producer of
industrial and consumer plastic products. Carlisle's products include trash
bags, flexible packaging, sheeting and garment hangers. Carlisle's trash bag
products include institutional lines, as well as Carlisle's own national
consumer brands. Sales are primarily in North America.
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
    Carlisle supplies plastic trash bags to mass merchants, grocery chains, and
institutional customers. Carlisle manufactures Ruffies(R), a national brand
consumer trash bag, for mass merchants and other retail stores. Carlisle also
provides heavy duty trash can liners for institutional customers, such as food
service distributors, janitorial supply houses, restaurants, hotels and
hospitals.
 
    In the consumer trash bag market, Carlisle competes primarily with two
nationally advertised brands. Carlisle has historically concentrated on mass
merchants as the primary market for its branded Ruffies trash bags, while the
other major national brands are marketed primarily through food retailers.
 
    Film-Gard(R), Carlisle's leading plastic sheeting product, is sold to
consumers and professional contractors through do-it-yourself outlets, home
improvement centers and hardware stores. A wide range of Film-Gard products are
sold for various uses, including painting, renovation, construction, landscaping
and agriculture. Carlisle's industrial packaging film is sold through
distributors and manufacturers for use as shrink wrap and for other packaging
requirements.
 
    Carlisle sells molded plastic garment hangers to garment manufacturers,
national retailers, regional or local retailers, and mass merchants. Garment
manufacturers place their clothes on Carlisle's hangers before shipping to
retail outlets. Carlisle creates, manufactures and sells customized hanger
designs to national retailers. Regional or local retailers buy standard Carlisle
hanger lines for retail clothing displays. Carlisle also supplies mass merchants
with consumer plastic hangers for sale to the general public. Carlisle operates
in a competitive marketplace where success is dependent upon price, service and
quality.
 
II. FIRE AND SAFETY SERVICES
 
    The Company is the largest contractor in the world for the design and
installation of fire detection, suppression and sprinkler systems, and for the
servicing for such systems. The Company is also a leading manufacturer and
distributor of fire detection and suppression products.
 
    The Company's Grinnell subsidiary ("Grinnell"), which was founded in 1850,
is the largest installer, manufacturer and supplier of automatic fire sprinkler
and fire alarm and detection systems in North America. Wormald International
Limited ("Wormald"), which was founded in 1889, operates as a major fire
protection company with contracting, manufacturing and distribution operations
throughout Western Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Grinnell and Wormald, in
combination, is the largest fire protection company in the world, forming a
network of over 300 offices on five continents. The acquisition of Thorn
Security Group ("Thorn") in July 1996 expands the Company's worldwide position
in the fire detection and security systems market.
 
  Contracting and Service
 
    The Company designs, fabricates, installs and services automatic fire
sprinkler systems, fire alarm and detection systems, special hazard suppression
systems and security systems in buildings and other installations. Grinnell's
fire protection contracting and service business in North America operates
through a network of offices located in the United States, Canada, Mexico and
Puerto Rico. Internationally, the Company engages in fire protection contracting
and service through a network of offices in the United Kingdom, Continental
Europe, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Australia, New Zealand, Southeast
Asia and South America.
 
    The Company installs fire protection systems in both new and existing
structures. Typically, the contracting businesses bid on contracts for fire
protection installation which are let by owners, architects, construction
engineers and mechanical or general contractors. In recent years, the business
of retrofitting existing buildings in the United States and Canada has grown as
a result of local and state legislation requiring installation of fire
protection systems and reduced insurance premiums available on structures with
automatic sprinkler systems. The retrofitting and servicing of fire protection
systems in
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
existing buildings represented approximately 65% of Grinnell's North American
contracting sales in fiscal 1996. Revenue from the servicing, maintenance,
repair and inspection of fire protection, detection and suppression systems
installed by the Company and other contractors has increased in recent years.
 
    A majority of the fire suppression systems installed by the Company are
water-based, but the Company is also the world's leader in providing custom
designed special hazard fire protection systems which incorporate various
specialized non-water agents such as foams, dry chemicals and gases. Systems
using agents other than water are suited for fire protection in certain
manufacturing, power generation, petrochemical, offshore oil exploration,
transportation, telecommunications, mining and marine applications. The Company
holds exclusive manufacturing and distribution rights in several regions of the
world for INERGEN(R) fire suppression products. INERGEN(R), an alternative to
the ozone depleting agent known as halon, consists of a mixture of three inert
gases designed to effectively extinguish fires without polluting the environment
or damaging costly equipment.
 
    In Australia, New Zealand and Asia, the Company, through its O'Donnell
Griffin division, engages in the installation of electrical wire and related
electrical equipment in new and existing structures and offers specialized
electrical contracting services in these markets for different types of
construction, including applications for railroad and bridge construction.
 
    Substantially all of the mechanical components (and, in North America, most
of the pipe) used in the fire protection systems installed by the Company are
manufactured by the Company. The Company also has fabrication plants worldwide
that cut, thread and weld pipe, which is then shipped with other prefabricated
components to job sites for installation. The Company has developed its own
computer-aided-design technology that reduces the time required to design
systems for specific applications and coordinates fabrication and delivery of
system components. The Company also installs alarms, detection and activation
devices and centralized monitors. With the acquisition of Thorn, the Company is
now a major manufacturer of alarms, detection and activation devices and central
monitoring stations.
 
    In its fire protection contracting business, the Company employs both
non-union and union employees in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Many of
the union employees are employed on an hourly basis for particular jobs. In
North America, the largest number of union employees is represented by a number
of local unions affiliated with the United Association of Plumbers and
Pipefitters ("UA"). In April 1994, following lengthy negotiations, Grinnell's
contracts with a number of locals of the UA were not renewed. Employees in those
locations, representing 64% of those employees represented by the UA unions,
went on strike. Grinnell has continued to operate with former union members who
have crossed over and with replacement workers. The labor action has not had,
and is not expected to have, any material adverse effect on Grinnell's business
or results of operations.
 
    Generally, competition in the fire protection business varies by geographic
location. In North America, Grinnell competes with hundreds of smaller
contractors on a regional or local basis for the installation of fire
suppression and alarm and detection systems. Many of the regional and local
competitors employ non-union labor. In Europe, the Company competes with many
regional or local contractors on a country by country basis. In Australia, New
Zealand and Asia, the Company competes with a few large fire protection
contractors as well as with many smaller regional or local companies. The
Company competes for fire protection contracts primarily on the basis of price,
service and quality.
 
  Manufacturing and Distribution
 
    The Company manufactures most of the components used in its own fire
protection contracting business, as well as a variety of products for sale to
other fire protection contractors. In North America, the Company manufactures
pipe and pipe fittings, fire hydrants, sprinkler heads and substantially all of
the mechanical sprinkler components used in an automatic fire suppression
system. In the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Asia-Pacific, the Company
manufactures and sells sprinkler heads, specialty valves, fire doors and
electronic panels for use in fire detection systems. In Mexico, the
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
Company manufactures fire extinguishers, fire hose and related equipment. With
the recent addition of Thorn, the Company now manufactures a complete line of
alarm and detection equipment that is installed by the Company's units. Thorn's
products are also sold to other alarm and detection installers.
 
    The Company's Ansul subsidiary manufactures and sells various lines of dry
chemical, liquid and gaseous portable fire extinguishers and related agents for
industrial, government, commercial and consumer applications. Ansul also
manufactures and sells special hazard fire suppression systems designed for use
in restaurants, marine applications, mining applications, the petrochemical
industry, confined industrial spaces and commercial spaces housing delicate and
electronic equipment. Ansul also manufactures spill control products designed to
absorb, neutralize and solidify spills of various hazardous materials.
 
    Fire protection products are sold through the Company's flow control
products distribution network discussed in "Flow Control", below, and through
independent distributors.
 
  Environmental Services
 
    In January 1996, the Company acquired The Earth Technology Corporation
("Earth Tech"), a provider of a broad range of environmental, consulting and
engineering services throughout the United States. The principal services of
Earth Tech consist of full-spectrum environmental and hazardous waste management
services, infrastructure design and construction services, facilities
engineering and construction management services for institutional, civic,
commercial and industrial clients, and contract operations and management
services for water, waste water and remediation treatment facilities for
municipal and industrial clients.
 
    Services are provided through a network of 40 offices located throughout
North America. Earth Tech competes with a number of national, regional and local
companies on the basis of price and breadth and quality of services.
 
III. FLOW CONTROL PRODUCTS
 
    The Company is a manufacturer and distributor of flow control products in
North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Flow control products include pipe,
fittings, valves, meters and related products which are used to transport,
control and measure the flow of liquids and gases. The Company's Flow Control
Group includes Grinnell, Allied Tube & Conduit, Mueller Co. and a number of
specialized manufacturers of valves, fittings and couplings.
 
  Manufacturing
 
    The Company manufactures and distributes a wide range of flow control
products, including pipe and pipe fittings, tubing, valves, meters, couplings,
pipe hangers, strut and related components. These products are used in plumbing,
heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, mechanical
contracting, power generation, water and gas utilities, oil and gas exploration,
petrochemical and numerous other industrial applications. The Company also
manufactures certain related products such as steel tubing, custom iron
castings, malleable iron pipe fittings and fencing materials.
 
    Allied is the leading North American manufacturer of pipe and other tubular
products. Allied manufactures a full line of steel pipe for the fire protection
and construction industries and for commercial, residential and institutional
markets. Its mechanical tube division offers steel tubing in a wide assortment
of shapes and sizes for a variety of industrial and commercial applications.
Allied's fence division is a leader in the manufacture of products for the
residential and industrial/commercial fence markets. Allied also manufactures
metal framing systems used in the construction, industrial and OEM markets.
 
    Mueller, a manufacturer of water and gas distribution products, manufactures
fire hydrants, iron butterfly and gate valves, service-line brass valves and
fittings, gas valves and meter bars, water meters, backflow preventers and
related products for sale to independent distributors and, to a lesser extent,
directly to waterworks contractors, municipalities and gas companies throughout
the United States and Canada.
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
    Over the past 5 years, the Company has expanded its worldwide manufacturing
and distribution presence through a series of acquisitions and internal growth.
In North America, Grinnell manufactures forged steel fittings and valves. In
Switzerland, Neotecha, acquired in April 1992, manufactures Teflon lined
specialty valves for use in highly corrosive environments. In the United
Kingdom, Charles Winn (Valves) Ltd. and Hindle Cockburns, acquired in April
1993, manufacture specialty high performance butterfly valves and ball valves
that are used principally in the oil and gas, chemical and processing
industries. In Spain, Belgicast, acquired in July 1995, manufactures valves used
for waterworks and other industrial applications. In Malaysia the Company
manufactures couplings, fittings, steel tubing and metal framing products.
 
    In September 1996, the Company acquired Henry Pratt Co., James Jones Company
and Edward Barber & Co. from Watts Industries, Inc. The three operations,
located in the United States and the United Kingdom, are engaged in the
manufacture and sale of valves, hydrants and fittings used primarily in water
utility, wastewater treatment and power generation markets.
 
  Distribution
 
    The Company operates through a 45 branch distribution network for the sale
of flow control and fire protection products in North America. Three Regional
Distribution Centers ("RDC's") are strategically located in Georgia, Illinois
and California to support the branches' product needs and to ship directly to
customers. The Company plans to open two additional RDC's, in Pennsylvania and
Texas, in fiscal 1997. Each RDC stocks over 8,500 products. The Company's
Worldwide Flow Control operations also stock and sell products through various
distribution centers in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East and
Asia. In Europe, the Company distributes fire protection products, industrial
valves and products for mechanical markets through warehouses located in the
Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany and France. Products are sold
principally to distributors and to fire protection contractors and in some
instances to mechanical and industrial contractors and original equipment
manufacturers. In the Asia-Pacific region, the Company distributes fire
protection and flow control products through warehouses located in Australia,
New Zealand and Singapore. Products are sold directly to fire protection and
other contractors as well as to mechanical and industrial contractors and
independent distributors. While distribution patterns vary, most centers stock
an extensive line of valves, fittings, pipe and other products for fire
protection systems, components for HVAC installations and water and gas
distribution, and specialized valves and piping for the chemical, food, power
and beverage processing industries. Products manufactured by the Company
accounted for approximately 81% of its North American distribution sales and for
approximately 65% of its European distribution sales in fiscal 1996.
 
    Grinnell's North American distribution network competes with independent
manufacturers' representatives and other manufacturers and to a lesser extent
with local and regional supply houses, all of which carry lines of other
domestic or foreign manufacturers. Grinnell competes on the basis of price, the
breadth of its product line, service and quality. Grinnell competes for the sale
of gray iron pipe fittings, malleable and ductile iron fittings and other flow
control products and fire protection sprinklers and devices principally with
other domestic producers, as well as with foreign manufacturers of fittings.
Grinnell uses an internal sales force for the sale of certain other iron
castings sold direct to original equipment manufacturers and other end users.
 
    Allied competes for the sale of steel pipe, which is sold through Grinnell's
distribution network discussed above, with pipe from other domestic and foreign
producers. Competition for the sale of pipe is based on price, service and
breadth of product line. Fence and other specialized industrial tubing is sold
to wholesalers, original equipment manufacturers and other distributors.
Competition for the sale of fence products is principally from national and
regional domestic producers and to a lesser extent from foreign companies, on
the basis of price, service and distribution. The Company competes with
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
many small regional manufacturers for sales of specialized industrial tubing on
the basis of price and breadth of product line.
 
    Mueller's water and natural gas distribution flow control products are sold
through independent distributors, and, to a lesser extent, directly to
utilities, municipalities and gas distribution companies. Certain of its gas
distribution products are also sold through the Grinnell distribution network.
The Company competes for the sale of these products on the basis of product
quality, service, price, breadth of product line and conformity with municipal
codes and other engineering standards. The Company competes with several other
manufacturers in the United States and Canada for the sale of iron and brass
flow control devices for water and natural gas distribution systems.
 
IV. ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
 
    The Company's Electrical and Electronic Components group consists of Simplex
Technologies, Inc. ("Simplex"), Allied's Electrical Conduit division and the
Company's Printed Circuit Group. Simplex manufacturers underwater communications
cable and cable assemblies. Allied manufactures and distributes electrical
conduit and related components used in commercial electrical installations. The
Printed Circuit Group manufactures printed circuit boards and assembles
backplanes for the electronics industry.
 
  Simplex
 
    Simplex is the largest U.S. manufacturer of undersea fiber optic
telecommunications cable. Simplex also manufacturers cable and cable assemblies
for the U.S. Navy, underwater electric power cable and optical ground wire for
use by power authorities and utilities, and electro-mechanical cable for unique
field applications. Simplex's principal customer is AT&T-SSI, which accounted
for approximately 78% of its revenues in fiscal 1996.
 
    Under a multi-year engineering development program, Simplex and AT&T Labs,
Inc. have developed a proprietary encapsulation process for AT&T-SSI supplied
optic fibers used in underwater telecommunications cables. Simplex manufactures
the cable and performs system assembly and has proprietary rights to the
encapsulation process. Over the past ten years, Simplex has manufactured more
than 110,000 kilometers of undersea optical cable deployed by AT&T and others.
 
    For more than thirty years, Simplex has been the primary supplier of cable
and cable assemblies to the U.S. Navy for use in data-gathering systems. Cable
for U.S. Navy systems is manufactured under various types of contracts,
including cost-plus-incentive fee, time and material, and fixed-price.
 
    Simplex, usually in conjunction with AT&T, competes on a worldwide basis
primarily against two other entities: Alcatel-Alsthom, headquartered in France
and KDD, located in Japan. Alcatel is vertically integrated and produces its own
cable, whereas AT&T utilizes Simplex in the manufacture of its underwater cable
and KDD utilizes a Japanese cable manufacturer.
 
  Allied Electrical Conduit
 
    Allied's electrical conduit division is one of the leading producers of
steel electrical conduit in the United States. Electrical conduit is galvanized
steel tubing designed to contain current-carrying electrical wires both inside
and outside building structures. The conduit also serves as an electrical ground
that ensures proper operation of circuit interruptors and provides a channel
into which additional wires can be inserted or removed as electrical needs
change. The division manufactures a full line of electrical conduit as well as
metal framing and other products.
 
    The division's electrical conduit and related products are sold to wholesale
electrical distributors through Allied's distribution facilities by an internal
sales force and a network of commissioned sales agents. The division competes
for the sale of electrical products primarily with several other large
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
domestic manufacturers. Competition in the electrical conduit industry is
primarily based upon price, quality, delivery and breadth of product line.
 
  Printed Circuit Group
 
    Tyco's Printed Circuit Group of companies is one of the largest independent
manufacturers of complex multi-layered printed circuit boards and assemblers of
backplanes in the United States. Printed circuit boards are used in the
electronics industry to mount and interconnect components to create electronic
systems. They are categorized by the number of sides or layers that contain
circuitry, which could be single-sided, double-sided or multi-layer. In general,
single and double-sided boards are less advanced. Multi-layer boards provide
greater interconnection density while decreasing the number of separate printed
circuit boards which are required to accommodate powerful and sophisticated
components. Backplanes include printed circuit boards and are assemblies of
connectors and other electronic components which distribute power and
interconnect printed circuit boards, power supplies and other system elements.
 
    The Group manufactures highly sophisticated double-sided, mass molded boards
of up to eight layers, precision tooled, custom laminated multi-layer boards of
up to 68 layers and sophisticated flex-rigid circuit boards for use in
environmentally demanding conditions. The majority of the Group's sales are
derived from its high-density multi-layer boards. The Company's backplanes
facility produces fully assembled units utilizing press-fit or soldered
connection technology, custom pin grid array sockets and surface mounted
assembly. The printed circuit boards and backplanes manufactured by the Company
are designed by customers and are manufactured on a job order basis to the
customers' specifications. Backplane sales, inclusive of board content, were 37%
of the Group's sales in fiscal 1996.
 
    The Group markets its products mainly through independent manufacturers'
representatives and, to a lesser extent, through its own internal sales
organization. The Group's customers are generally original equipment
manufacturers in the telecommunications, aircraft, computer, military and other
industrial and consumer electronics industries. The Company competes with
several large companies which manufacture less complex single-sided and
double-sided printed circuit boards in the United States, as well as with many
companies that have their own in-house manufacturing capabilities. The Company
believes that far fewer competitors manufacture the more complex, high-density
double-sided and multi-layer boards. The Group competes on the basis of quality,
price, reliability and timeliness of delivery.
 
SALES AND BACKLOG
 
    At June 30, 1996, the Company had a backlog of unfilled orders of
approximately $1.15 billion, compared to a backlog of approximately $1.05
billion as of June 30, 1995. The Company expects that approximately 87% of its
backlog at June 30, 1996 will be filled during the year ending June 30, 1997.
 
    Backlog by industry segment is as follows (in millions of dollars):
 


                                                 JUNE 30, 1996    JUNE 30, 1995

                                                 -------------    -------------
                                                   $ 1,148.4        $ 1,048.3
                                                 -------------    -------------
                                                 -------------    -------------
 
    The increase in backlog in the Fire and Safety Services segment is primarily
due to increased orders in the Asia-Pacific region as well as from the inclusion
of Earth Tech's funded backlog. Within the Electrical Components segment,
increases at the Printed Circuit Group and Allied's Electrical
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
Conduit operations were offset by a decrease at Simplex. Simplex normally sells
cable under long-term multi-million dollar contracts, and the amount of its
backlog as of any date is affected by contract issuance for major systems and by
timing of completion of such underwater communications cable systems.
 
    Sales to agencies of the United States government or for governmental use
have been significant for Earth Tech, but are not significant for the Company as
a whole.
 
PROPERTIES
 
    The Company's operations are conducted in facilities throughout the world
aggregating some 25 million square feet of floor space, of which approximately
15 million square feet is owned and approximately 10 million square feet is
leased. These facilities house manufacturing and warehousing operations as well
as sales, engineering and administrative offices.
 
    The Company's Disposable and Specialty Products group has manufacturing
facilities at 43 locations in North America, the United Kingdom, Germany,
Mexico, China, Thailand and Malaysia. 4.9 million square feet is owned and 2.0
million square feet is leased.

    Electrical and Electronic Components has 7 manufacturing locations all
located in the United States. The Company owns 1.3 million square feet and
leases 0.1 million square feet.
 
    In the opinion of management, the Company's properties and equipment
generally are in good operating condition and are adequate for its present
needs. The Company does not anticipate difficulty in renewing existing leases as
they expire or in finding alternative facilities. See Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for a description of the Company's rental obligations.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
    The amounts expended for company sponsored research and development were
$32.9 million, $32.0 million and $31.7 million during fiscal 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively. Customer funded research and development expenditures were
$0.6 million, $1.4 million and $0.5 million in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
 
    Approximately 340 full-time scientists, engineers and other technical
personnel are engaged in product research and development activities.
 
    Research activity in fire and safety services and flow control products is
related to improvements in hydraulic design which controls the motion of fluids
resulting in new sprinkler devices and flow control
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
products. Activity at Simplex involves the continuing design and development of
the processes for the next generation of underwater fiber optic cable with AT&T
Labs, Inc. Research and development activity at the specialty packaging
companies involves new product applications while Allied and the Printed Circuit
Group are principally involved with process development. Kendall focuses on
acquiring rights to new products and technologies to complement existing product
lines and applying expertise to refine and successfully commercialize such
products and technologies.
 
RAW MATERIALS
 
    The Company is one of the largest buyers of steel and of plastic resin in
the United States. Other principal materials include scrap iron of various types
and grades, copper, brass, plastic, polyethylene resin and film, polypropylene,
electronic components, chemicals and additives, thin and flexible copper clad
materials, paper, ink, foil, adhesives, cloth, wax, pulp, cotton and latex. A
portion of Fire and Safety Services' and Flow Control Products' materials,
principally certain valves and fittings, are purchased for distribution or for
installation in fire protection systems. Materials are purchased both in the
United States and abroad from a large number of independent sources. There have
been no shortages in materials which have had a material adverse effect on the
Company's business.
 
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
 
    The Company owns a number of patents (principally relating to healthcare and
specialty products, fire protection devices, flow control products, pipe and
tubing manufacture, and cable manufacture) and trademarks, and is a licensee
under a number of patents. Although these have been of value and are expected to
continue to be of value in the future, in the opinion of management, the loss of
any single patent or group of patents would not materially affect the conduct of
the business in any of the Company's segments. The patents and licenses have
remaining lives of from one to seventeen years. Kendall sells certain products
under tradenames owned by its suppliers and packages certain products under
customer trademarks and labels.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
    The Company employed approximately 40,000 persons at June 30, 1996, of whom
approximately 40% were employed outside of North America. The Company has
collective bargaining agreements with labor unions covering approximately 5,800
employees at certain of its domestic operations and 4,000 employees in its
European and Asia-Pacific businesses. While the Company believes that its
relations with the labor unions and with its employees are generally
satisfactory, a number of local unions affiliated with the United Association of
Plumbers and Pipefitters, representing 64% of Grinnell Fire Protection North
American union employees, are on strike. See discussion under "Fire Protection"
above.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
    Tyco makes a substantial effort to operate its facilities in compliance with
federal, state and local laws relating to the protection of the environment.
Compliance has not had and is not expected to have a material adverse effect
upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Company.
 
    The Company believes that, consistent with applicable laws and regulations,
it exercises due care and takes appropriate precautions in the management of
wastes. The Company has received notification from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies that conditions at a
number of sites where hazardous wastes were disposed of by the Company and other
persons require cleanup and other possible remedial action.
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
    The Company also has a number of projects underway at several of its
manufacturing facilities in order to comply with environmental laws. In
addition, the Company remains responsible for certain environmental issues at
manufacturing locations sold by the Company. These projects relate to a variety
of activities, including solvent and metal contamination clean up, oil spill
containage and clean up, containment area upgrades, feasibility studies and
equipment upgrades and replacement. These projects, some of which are voluntary
and some are required under applicable law, involve both remediation expenses
and capital improvements.
 
    The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the
uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation
of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. Based upon
the Company's experience with the foregoing environmental matters, the Company
has concluded that there is at least a reasonable possibility that remedial
costs will be incurred with respect to these issues in an aggregate amount in
the range of $11.0 million to $41.7 million. At June 30, 1996 the Company has
concluded that the most probable amount which will be incurred within this range
is $19.6 million and such amount is included in the caption "accrued expenses"
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Based upon information available
to the Company, at those sites where there has been an allocation of the
liability for cleanup costs among a number of parties, including the Company,
and such liability could be joint and several, management believes it is
probable that other responsible parties will fully pay the cost allocated to
them, except with respect to one site for which the Company has assumed that one
of the identified responsible parties will be unable to pay the cost apportioned
to it and that such party's cost will be reapportioned among the remaining
responsible parties. In view of the Company's financial position and reserves
for environmental matters of $19.6 million, the Company has concluded that its
payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on its
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

(1) Income and cash dividends per share amounts for all periods presented have
    been restated to give effect to a two-for-one stock split effected in the
    form of a stock dividend which was distributed on November 14, 1995.
 
(2) The selected financial data reflects the combined results of operations and
    financial position of Tyco and Kendall for all periods subsequent to June
    30, 1992, the date on which Kendall undertook a financial restructuring. The
    selected financial data at and for the year ended June 30, 1992 reflect only
    the results of operations and financial position of Tyco.
 
(3) Fiscal 1995 results include a charge of $31.2 million after-tax for fees and
    expenses related to the merger and integration of Tyco and Kendall, and an
    extraordinary item of $2.6 million after-tax resulting from the early
    extinguishment of $100 million of Kendall debt. (See Notes 2 and 4 to the
    Consolidated Financial Statements).
 
(4) Effective July 1, 1992 the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
    Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes"
    and SFAS 106 "Employers' Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits Other Than
    Pensions." Kendall adopted SFAS 109 and SFAS 106 effective with its
    restructuring and, accordingly, there is no cumulative effect reflected in
    the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
(5) Fiscal 1993 results include restructuring and severance charges of $27.3
    million after-tax, a non-recurring inventory charge of $22.5 million before
    and after-tax, a reduction in tax expense of $6.7 million attributable to
    revisions in previous tax estimates, incremental income tax expense due to
    tax rate changes of $7.8 million and a special pension charge of $1.2
    million after-tax.
 
(6) Fiscal 1992 results include restructuring and severance charges of $14.9
    million after-tax and a reduction in tax expense of $16.9 million
    attributable to revisions in previous tax estimates.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Tyco International Ltd.:
 
    We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Tyco International Ltd.
as of June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended June 30, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
 
    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 consolidated financial position of Tyco
International Ltd. as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended June 30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

subsidiaries. As described more fully in Note 2, on October 19, 1994 a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyco merged with Kendall International, Inc.
("Kendall"). The merger was accounted for under the pooling of interests method
of accounting and these consolidated financial statements reflect the combined
financial position, operating results and cash flows of Tyco and Kendall as if
they had been combined for all periods presented.
 
    Cash equivalents--All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
    Inventories and Contracts--Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost
(first- in, first-out) or market.
 
    Contract sales for installation of fire protection systems and other
construction related projects are recorded on the percentage-of-completion
method. Profits recognized on contracts in process are based upon estimated
contract revenue and related cost at completion. Revisions in cost estimates as
contracts progress have the effect of increasing or decreasing profits in the
current period. Provisions for anticipated losses are made in the period in
which they first become determinable. Sales of underwater cable systems are also
recorded on the percentage-of-completion method.
 
    Accounts receivable include amounts billed under retainage provisions for
fire protection contracts. Retention balances of $29.2 million at June 30, 1996
which become due upon contract completion and acceptance are expected to be
substantially collected during fiscal 1997.
 
    Property, Plant and Equipment--Property, plant and equipment are principally
recorded at cost. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense
when incurred. The straight-line method of depreciation is used over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 2 to 45 years.
 
    Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets--Goodwill is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods up to 40 years. Accumulated amortization
amounted to $169.1 million at June 30, 1996 and $138.4 million at June 30, 
1995. Impairment of goodwill, if any, is measured on the basis of whether 
anticipated undiscounted operating cash flows generated by the acquired
businesses will recover the recorded goodwill balances over the remaining
amortization period. At June 30, 1996 and 1995, no impairment of goodwill was
indicated.
 
    Other intangible assets include patents, trademarks and other items, which
are being amortized on a straight line basis over lives ranging from 2 to 30
years. At June 30, 1996 and 1995, accumulated amortization amounted to $20.4
million and $17.2 million, respectively.
 
    Reorganization Value in Excess of Identifiable Assets--The reorganization
value of Kendall was determined based on the purchase price paid for new Kendall
common stock issued as part of Kendall's restructuring, effective June 30, 1992.
Based on the allocation of reorganization value in conformity with procedures
specified by Statement of Position 90-7, the portion of reorganization value
which could not be attributed to specific tangible or identifiable intangible
assets has been reported as reorganization value in excess of identifiable
assets. Reorganization value is being amortized using the straight line method
over 20 years. Accumulated amortization amounted to $29.6 million and $23.4
million at June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
 
    Research and Development--Research and development expenditures are expensed
when incurred.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
    Translation of Foreign Currency--Assets and liabilities of the Company's
foreign subsidiaries, other than those operating in highly inflationary
environments, are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates.
Revenues and expenses of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the average
exchange rates effective during the year. Foreign currency translation gains and
losses are included as a separate component of shareholders' equity. For
subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary environments, inventories and
property, plant and equipment, including related expenses, are translated at the
rate of exchange in effect on the date the assets were acquired, while other
assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates. Translation
adjustments for these operations are included in net income.
 
    Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, the amounts
of which are not significant, are included in net income.
 
    Interest Rate Swaps, Currency Options and Other Contracts--The Company
enters into a variety of interest rate swaps, currency options, and cross-
currency swaps in its management of interest costs and foreign currency
exposures.
 
    Interest rate swaps, which hedge interest rates on certain indebtedness,
involve the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payment obligations
over the life of the related agreement without the exchange of the notional
payment obligation. The differential to be paid or received is accrued as
interest rates change and is recognized over the life of the agreement as an
adjustment to interest expense.
 
    Currency options, acquired for the purpose of hedging foreign operating
income generally for periods not exceeding twelve months, are marked to market
with any realized and unrealized gains or losses reflected in selling, general
and administrative expense. Under the Company's cross-currency swap, which
hedges certain net foreign investments, changes in valuation are recorded in the
currency translation adjustment account. The interest differentials from this
swap are recorded in interest expense.
 
    Use of Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reported periods. Significant estimates in these financial statements
include allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, net realizable value of
inventories, estimated contract revenues and related costs, environmental
liabilities and tax valuation reserves. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
    Income Per Share--Net income per share is calculated on the basis of the
weighted average number of shares outstanding plus common equivalent shares to
reflect stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method.

    Reclassifications - Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to 
conform with current year presentation.
 
2. THE MERGER
 
    On October 19, 1994, a wholly- owned subsidiary of Tyco merged with Kendall.
Shareholders of Kendall received 1.29485 shares of Tyco common stock for each
share of Kendall common stock. The transaction qualified for pooling of
interests accounting treatment, which is intended to present as a single
interest common shareholder interests which were previously independent.
Accordingly, the historical financial statements for periods prior to the
consummation of the combination are restated as though the companies had been
combined during such periods. Revenues and net income for the quarter

2. THE MERGER--(CONTINUED)
ended September 30, 1994 (the most recent interim period prior to the pooling)
were $827.6 million and $32.6 million, respectively, for Tyco and $226.6 million
and $20.7 million, respectively, for Kendall.
 
    All fees and expenses related to the merger and to the integration of the
combined companies have been expensed as required under the pooling of interests
accounting method. Such fees and expenses amounted to $37.2 million ($31.2
million after-tax) in fiscal 1995. The charge includes $18.6 million for
financial advisory, legal, accounting and other direct transaction fees, $14.9
million for payments under severance and employment agreements and other costs
associated with certain compensation plans, and $3.7 million for other
acquisition related and integration costs.
 
3. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
 
    During fiscal 1996, the Company acquired eight fire and safety services
companies, five disposable and specialty products companies and four flow
control products companies for an aggregate of $301.4 million in cash and
386,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The cash acquisitions were made
utilizing cash on hand as well as borrowings under the Company's uncommitted
lines of credit. Each of the acquisitions was accounted for as a purchase and
the results of operations of the acquired companies were included in the
consolidated results of Tyco from their respective acquisition dates. As a
result of the acquisitions, approximately $255 million in goodwill was recorded
by the Company, which reflects the adjustments necessary to allocate the
individual purchase prices to the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities
assumed and additional purchase liabilities recorded. Additional purchase
liabilities recorded included approximately $19 million for severance and
related costs and $6 million for costs associated with the shut down and
consolidation of certain acquired facilities. At June 30, 1996 liabilities for
approximately $13 million in severance costs and $5 million for facility related
costs remained on the balance sheet. The Company expects to complete its
termination of employees and consolidation of facilities in fiscal 1997.
 
    The following unaudited pro forma data summarize the results of operations
for the periods indicated as if these acquisitions had been completed on July 1,
1994, the beginning of the 1995 fiscal year. The pro forma data give effect to
actual operating results prior to the acquisitions and adjustments to interest
expense, goodwill amortization and income taxes. These pro forma amounts do not
purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been obtained
if the acquisitions had occurred on July 1, 1994 or that may be obtained in the
future. The pro forma data do not give effect to acquisitions completed
subsequent to June 30, 1996. See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

3. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES--(CONTINUED)
    On December 29, 1995, the Company sold certain assets, including trademarks
and patents, of the Curad(R) and Futuro(R) consumer healthcare products business
owned by its Kendall subsidiary. Under the agreements, Kendall will continue to
manufacture certain Curad(R) and Futuro(R) products for the buyer under
long-term supply agreements. The Company received net cash proceeds of $49.8
million on the sale of the brand names and certain domestic assets. The Company
will continue to receive other payments, including payments under royalty and
non-compete agreements, through fiscal 2001. The Company has also granted to the
buyer options to acquire certain additional trademarks, patents and other
international assets. The gain on the sale was not material to the Company's
results of operations.
 
    During fiscal 1995, the Company acquired five flow control products
companies, three disposable and specialty products companies and two European
fire and safety services companies for an aggregate of $130.3 million in cash.
During fiscal 1994, the Company acquired five disposable and specialty products
companies, two flow control products companies and one fire and safety services
company for an aggregate of $72.6 million in cash and a note payable of $3.6
million. The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases, and the results of
operations of the acquired companies were included in the consolidated results
of Tyco from their respective acquisition dates. The effect of these
transactions on the Company's financial position and results of operations in
the year of acquisition was not significant. Also during fiscal 1994, the
Company sold certain of its European fire products manufacturing and
distribution businesses for cash proceeds of $18.1 million and notes receivable
of $14.8 million.

    The Company has a credit agreement that gives the Company the right to
borrow $300 million or a portion thereof until October 1999. The principal
amount then outstanding will be due and payable at that time. Interest payable
on borrowings is variable based upon the Company's option of selecting a
Eurodollar rate plus 0.325%, a certificate of deposit rate plus 0.45% or a base
rate, as defined.
 
    The Company's uncommitted lines of credit are borrowings from commercial
banks on an "as offered" basis. The borrowings and repayments occur daily and
contain no specific terms other than due

dates and interest rates. The due dates generally range from overnight to 90
days, and interest rates approximate those available under the Company's credit
agreement.
 
    In June 1996, the Company repaid the 8.9% insurance company note, utilizing
borrowings under its uncommitted lines of credit.
 
    In November 1994, the Company issued $145 million principal amount of 8.125%
notes due 1999. The net proceeds from the issuance of the notes were used, in
part, to refinance $100 million principal amount of Kendall's subordinated notes
due 2003. The balance was used to refinance, in part, $80 million of insurance
company notes due in January 1995.
 
    In connection with the refinancing of Kendall's subordinated notes, the
Company recorded a charge of $4.3 million ($2.6 million after-tax), representing
unamortized debt issuance fees and a call premium, as an extraordinary loss
during fiscal 1995.
 
    At June 30, 1996, the Company had interest rate swap agreements with a
number of financial institutions having a total notional amount of $150 million,
which effectively convert fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. Under these
agreements, the Company will receive payments at an average fixed rate of 6.64%
and will make payments based on six month LIBOR, which, at June 30, 1996, was
5.79%. These agreements expire in the amounts of $100 million in April 1997 and
$50 million in March 1998. The impact of the Company's interest rate swap
activities on its weighted average borrowing rate was a decrease of 0.1%, an
increase of 0.1% and a decrease of 1.1% for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The impact on reported interest was a reduction of $0.5 million,
an increase of $1.0 million and a reduction of $7.0 million for fiscal 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
    Under its various loan and credit agreements the Company is required to meet
certain covenants, none of which is considered restrictive to the operations of
the Company.
 
    The aggregate amounts of total debt maturing during the next five fiscal
years are as follows: $127.8 million in fiscal 1997, $4.8 million in fiscal
1998, $1.2 million in fiscal 1999, $145.8 million in fiscal 2000 and $.7 million
in fiscal 2001.
 
5. SALE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
 
    The Company has an agreement under which it sells participating interests in
a defined pool of trade accounts receivable. As collections reduce accounts
receivable included in the pool, the Company sells participating interests in
new receivables to bring the amount sold up to the maximum permitted by the
agreement. Under the terms of the agreement the Company has retained
substantially the same risk of credit loss as if the receivables had not been
sold and, accordingly, the full amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts
has been retained. The Company sold $150 million of accounts receivable at the
program's inception in fiscal 1994. In June 1995, the Company increased the
maximum permitted under the agreement to $225 million from $150 million, and
correspondingly sold an additional $75 million. At June 30, 1996 the $225
million available under the program was fully utilized. The proceeds from the
sales were used to reduce borrowings under uncommitted lines of credit and are
reported as operating cash flows in the Company's consolidated statement of cash
flows in fiscal 1995 and 1994 and a reduction of receivables in the Company's
consolidated balance sheet in fiscal 1995. The proceeds of sale are less than
the face amount of accounts receivable sold by an amount that approximates the
purchaser's financing cost of issuing its own commercial paper backed by these
 
                                       30

accounts receivable. The discount from the face amount was $12.6 million, $8.2
million and $4.1 million during the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, and has been included in selling, general and administrative
expense in the Company's consolidated statement of income. The Company, as
servicing agent for the purchaser, retains collection and administrative
responsibilities for the participating interests in the defined pool.
 
6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash in banks,
temporary investments, accounts receivable and debt. The Company also has
currency options (notional amount of $38.5 million), as well as interest rate
swaps. In addition, the Company has entered into a cross-currency swap through
July 1997 under which it has exchanged $50.0 million of U.S. dollar debt for
deutsche mark denominated debt. At June 30, 1996 the fair value of interest rate
swaps was a $0.6 million asset, and the fair value of long-term debt was
approximately $533.8 million (book value of $511.6 million), based on current
interest rates. The fair value of financial instruments included in working
capital approximated book value.
 
    None of the Company's financial instruments represent a concentration of
credit risk as the Company deals with a variety of major banks worldwide and its
accounts receivable are spread among a number of major industries, customers and
geographic areas. None of the Company's off-balance sheet financial instruments
would result in a significant loss to the Company if the counterparty failed to
perform according to the terms of its agreement.

could arise. During fiscal 1995, the IRS examined the Company's 1991 and 1992
income tax returns. In connection with such examination, one item is currently
under review by the IRS National Office, which could result in a significant
assessment of additional taxes. Ultimate resolution of this matter is not
expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position
or results of operations.
 
    The provisions for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994 included $29.3 million, $21.7
million and $23.9 million, respectively, for foreign income taxes. The foreign
component of income before income taxes was $55.1 million, $38.7 million and
$35.7 million, for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Generally, no
provision has been made for U.S. or additional foreign income taxes on the
undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as such earnings are expected to
be permanently reinvested. A liability has been recorded for U.S. taxes
attributable to certain undistributed earnings in selected jurisdictions where
repatriation to the U.S. may be desirable. It is not practicable to estimate the
additional taxes related to the permanently reinvested earnings.
 
    The deferred income tax balance sheet accounts result from temporary
differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for
financial reporting and tax purposes. The components of the net deferred income
tax asset are as follows:

8. KEY EMPLOYEE LOAN PROGRAM
 
    Loans are made to employees under the 1983 Key Employee Loan Program for the
payment of taxes upon the vesting of shares granted under the Company's
Restricted Stock Ownership Plans. The loans are unsecured and bear interest,
payable annually, at a rate which approximates the Company's incremental
short-term borrowing rate. Loans are generally repayable in ten years, except
that earlier payments are required under certain circumstances. Loans under this
program were $12.3 million and $8.4 million at June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
 
9. CAPITAL STOCK
 
    During the second quarter of fiscal 1996, the Board of Directors declared a
two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend on the
Company's common stock. Per share amounts and share data have been retroactively
adjusted to reflect the stock split.
 
    In July 1994, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of
up to 5.8 million of its common shares.
 
    In January 1996 the Company repurchased 201,000 shares for $6.9 million. In
April and May 1995 the Company repurchased 435,070 and 297,556 shares
respectively, of its common stock from the President of Kendall at $26.47 and
$26.22 per share, respectively, the shares then fair market value, for an
aggregate purchase price of $19.3 million to provide for required income tax
withholdings as permitted in the underlying Kendall restricted stock grant
agreement. The total cost of reacquired shares at June 30, 1996 and 1995 was
$92.9 million and $89.3 million, respectively.
 
    In June 1994, the Company repurchased for $0.6 million a warrant which
entitled the holder, Tyco Investments (Australia) Limited, formerly Wormald
International Limited, to purchase ten million Tyco shares at a price of $35 per
share.
 
    The Company's 1978 Restricted Stock Ownership Plan (the "1978 Plan")
provided for the award of 4,800,000 shares of common stock to key employees
through November 30, 1988. Under the 1978 Plan, 4,776,800 shares were granted,
net of surrenders. The 1983 Restricted Stock Ownership Plan (the "1983 Plan")
provided for the award of 6,800,000 shares of common stock to key employees
through October 18, 1993. Under the 1983 Plan, 5,797,516 shares were awarded,
net of surrenders. The Company's 1994 Restricted Stock Ownership Plan (the "1994
Plan") provides for the award of an initial amount of shares of common stock
plus an amount equal to one-half of one percent of the total shares outstanding
at the beginning of each fiscal year. At June 30, 1996, there were 2,164,248
shares available, of which 778,814 shares had been granted. Common shares are
awarded subject to certain restrictions with vesting varying over periods of up
to ten years.
 
    For grants that vest through passage of time, the fair market value of the
shares at the time of the grant is amortized (net of tax benefit) to expense
over the period of vesting. The unamortized portion of deferred compensation
expense is recorded as a reduction of shareholders' equity. For grants which
vest based on certain specified performance criteria, the fair market value of
the shares at the date of vesting is expensed over the period the performance
criteria are measured. Recipients of all restricted shares have the right to
vote such shares and receive dividends. Income tax benefits resulting from the
vesting of restricted shares, including a deduction for the excess, if any, of
the fair market value of restricted shares at the time of vesting over their
fair market value at the time of the grants and from the payment of dividends on
unvested shares are credited to capital in excess of par value.

9. CAPITAL STOCK--(CONTINUED)
    In connection with its Restructuring, effective June 30, 1992, Kendall
issued to holders of its equity securities, in exchange for such securities,
warrants to purchase common stock at per share exercise prices of $7.73 (the "A
Warrants") and $10.31 (the "B Warrants" and together with the A Warrants, the
"Warrants"). As a result of the merger with Kendall, these Warrants became
exercisable for Tyco common stock at per share prices of $5.97 and $7.96,
respectively. The Warrants expire on July 7, 1999. During fiscal 1996, 14,047 A
Warrants and 13,312 B Warrants were exercised. During fiscal 1995, 2,599,228 A
Warrants and 2,719,434 B Warrants were exercised. At June 30, 1996, 143,779 A
Warrants and 95,896 B Warrants were issued and outstanding.
 
    Kendall maintained a number of stock incentive plans under which its
officers, directors and key employees were granted options and other awards to
purchase common stock, generally at prices equal to at least 100% of the market
price on the date of grant. As a result of the Merger, these options became
exercisable for Tyco common stock. Transactions under these plans during fiscal
1996, 1995 and 1994 were as follows (after giving retroactive effect to the
conversion of Kendall shares to Tyco shares at the Tyco/Kendall merger exchange
ratio):

    Kendall had a restricted stock grant agreement that provided for the
issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to its President. As a
result of the Merger, up to 2,589,700 shares of the Company's common stock
became issuable under the agreement. As of June 30, 1995 all shares under the
grant agreement had vested. As discussed above, the Company repurchased 732,626
of such shares. Compensation expense of $0.6 million and $1.3 million was
recorded for the grant during fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
    During fiscal 1995 Tyco established a stock option plan under which certain
employees, excluding officers and directors, have been granted options to
purchase common stock at a price equal to fair market value on the date of
grant. The options vest on a pro-rata basis over five years, with 50% becoming
exercisable at the end of the third year and the remaining exercisable at the
end of the fifth year. The Company has reserved 8,000,000 shares of common stock
for issuance under the plan. During fiscal 1996, options for 420,294 shares were
granted at prices ranging from $30.1875 to $40.375 per share. Options for
266,250 shares at $26.6875 to $33.125 per share were cancelled. During fiscal
1995, options for 3,034,500 shares were granted at a price of $26.6875 per
share. Grants are for periods generally not in excess of ten years. Options for
3,188,544 shares were outstanding at June 30, 1996 of

which 566,650 shares had vested; however, none were exercisable. At June 30,
1996 there were 4,811,456 shares available for future grant.
 
    Tyco paid cash dividends of $0.20 per share in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994.
 
    In October 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." The standard defines a fair value based method of accounting for
employee stock options. The compensation expense arising from this method can be
reflected in the financial statements or, alternatively, the pro forma net
income and income per share effect of the fair value based accounting can be
disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements. The Company will adopt
SFAS 123 in fiscal 1997 and expects to adopt the footnote disclosure
alternative.
 
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
    The Company occupies certain facilities under leases that expire at various
dates through the year 2021. Rental expense under these leases and leases for
equipment was $85.7 million, $71.3 million and $60.4 million for fiscal 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively. At June 30, 1996 the minimum lease payment
obligations under noncancellable leases were as follows: $65.5 million in fiscal
1997, $49.6 million in fiscal 1998, $39.5 million in fiscal 1999, $24.9 million
in fiscal 2000, $18.5 million in fiscal 2001 and an aggregate of $86.0 million
in fiscal years 2002 through 2021.
 
    In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract
completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such
obligations will not significantly affect the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
 
    The Company is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup
related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate
cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding
the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and
regulations and alternative cleanup methods. Based upon the Company's experience
with the foregoing environmental matters, the Company has concluded that there
is at least a reasonable possibility that remedial costs will be incurred with
respect to these sites in an aggregate amount in the range of $11.0 million to
$41.7 million. At June 30, 1996, the Company has concluded that the most
probable amount that will be incurred within this range is $19.6 million, and
such amount is included in the caption "accrued expenses" in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet. Based upon information available to the Company, at
those sites where there has been an allocation of the liability for cleanup
costs among a number of parties, including the Company, and such liability could
be joint and several, management believes it is probable that other responsible
parties will fully pay the cost allocated to them, except with respect to one
site for which the Company has assumed that one of the identified responsible
parties will be unable to pay the cost apportioned to it and that such party's
cost will be reapportioned among the remaining responsible parties. In view of
the Company's financial position and reserves for environmental matters of $19.6
million, the Company has concluded that its payment of such estimated amounts
will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of
operations.

    The Company has a number of noncontributory defined benefit retirement plans
covering certain of its domestic and foreign employees. The Company's funding
policy is to make annual contributions to the extent such contributions are tax

    Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions,"
the Company recorded, in other liabilities, an additional minimum pension
liability adjustment of $9.4 million and $17.3 million as of June 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively, representing the amount by which the accumulated benefit
obligation exceeded the fair value of plan assets plus accrued amounts
previously recorded. The additional liability has been offset by an intangible
asset, included in goodwill and other intangible assets, to the extent of
previously unrecognized prior service cost. The amount in excess of previously
unrecognized prior service cost is recorded, net of the related deferred tax
benefit, as a reduction of shareholders' equity in the amount of $2.5 million
and $6.1 million at June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
 
    In fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company terminated certain defined
benefit pension plans and distributed the plans' assets to the participants.
Also in fiscal 1994, in connection with the sale of the European fire products
businesses as described in Note 3, there was a settlement of a pension plan in
Germany. Gains and losses resulting from the above were not material.
 
    Of the total plan obligations, 57% relate to domestic plans and 43% relate
to foreign plans. The average discount rate used in determining the actuarial
present value of the projected benefit obligation, weighted in relation to plan
obligations, was 8.0% and 7.8%, respectively, at June 30, 1996 and 1995. The
average rate of increase in future compensation levels was 5.1% at June 30, 1996
and 1995. The weighted average long-term rate of return on assets was 10.0% and
10.2%, respectively, at June 30, 1996 and 1995. Plan assets are invested
principally in equity and fixed income instruments.
 
    The Company also has several defined contribution plans. Pension expense for
the defined contribution plans is computed as a percentage of participants'
compensation and was $23.0 million, $18.0 million and $15.6 million for fiscal
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. During fiscal 1995, the Company established
an unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"). This plan is
nonqualified and restores the employer match that certain employees lose due to
Internal Revenue Service limits on eligible compensation under the defined
contribution plans. Expense related to the

SERP was $1.7 million and $0.4 million in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The Company also participates in a number of multi-employer defined benefit
plans on behalf of certain employees. Pension expense related to multi-employer
plans was $2.0 million, $2.5 million and $6.7 million for fiscal 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.
 
    The Company generally does not provide post-retirement benefits other than
pensions for its employees. Certain of the Company's acquired operations provide
these benefits to employees who were eligible at the date of acquisition.
 
    Net periodic post-retirement benefit cost reflects the following components:

    For measurement purposes, in fiscal 1996 a 9.7% composite annual rate of
increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed. The
rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5.5% by the year 2008 and remain at
that level thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption may have a
significant effect on the amounts reported. To illustrate, increasing the
assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point would increase the
accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as of June 30, 1996 by $3.6
million and the aggregate of the service and interest cost component of net
periodic post-retirement benefit cost for the year then ended by $0.3 million.
The weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
post-retirement benefit obligation was 8.25%, 7.5% and 8.3% at June 30, 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
    In fiscal 1994 the Company amended certain of its post-retirement health
care programs, principally to adjust the cost-sharing provisions. The amendment
resulted in a reduction of the Company's accumulated post-retirement benefit
obligation of $27.8 million, which created an unrecognized prior service
benefit. The unrecognized prior service benefit is being amortized over
approximately 16 years.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
    The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire Carlisle Plastics, Inc.
("Carlisle"), in exchange for approximately 3.1 million shares of Tyco common
stock. The Company intends to account for the acquisition as a purchase and, in
connection with the acquisition, the Company will assume approximately $180
million in long-term debt of Carlisle. Carlisle, which has annual revenues of
approximately $400 million, is a manufacturer of plastic sheeting, garment
hangers and other specialty packaging products. The acquisition is subject to
approval by the shareholders of Carlisle and certain other conditions. The
transaction, which has been approved by Carlisle's Board of Directors, is
expected to close in September 1996.
 
    Subsequent to June 30, 1996 the Company acquired Thorn Security Group
Limited ("Thorn") for approximately $214 million. The acquisition was financed
utilizing borrowings of $100 million under the Company's credit agreement with
the balance through uncommitted lines of credit and will be accounted for as a
purchase. Thorn, which has annual revenues of approximately $300 million,
designs, manufactures, installs and services a broad range of systems used in
fire alarm and detection and building security applications. Thorn's principal
operations are in the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Asia and the United
States.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                   FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
    Information for all periods presented below reflects the grouping of the
Company's businesses into four business segments consisting of Disposable and
Specialty Products, Fire and Safety Services (formerly Fire Protection), Flow
Control Products, and Electrical and Electronic Components.
 
OVERVIEW
 
    Income before extraordinary item was $310.1 million, or $2.03 per share, for
fiscal 1996 compared with $216.6 million, or $1.43 per share, for fiscal 1995.
Income before extraordinary item rose 25% excluding the $31.2 million ($0.21 per
share) after-tax charge for merger and transaction related costs from the
Kendall merger in fiscal 1995 (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements). The increase was attributable to strong earnings improvements in
each of the Company's business segments.
 
SALES
 
    Sales increased 12% during fiscal 1996 to $5.09 billion from $4.53 billion
in fiscal 1995. Sales of the Disposable and Specialty Products group increased
$72.6 million to $1.46 billion, or 5%. Increased sales at Kendall and, to a
lesser extent, at Ludlow were partially offset by decreased sales at Armin, due
to reduced raw material pricing, and by Kendall's sale of Futuro in the second
quarter of fiscal 1996. Kendall's sales include the sales of Professional
Medical Products, Inc. which was acquired during the third quarter of fiscal
1996. Sales of the Fire and Safety Services group increased $287.5 million to
$1.99 billion, or 17%, due to increased sales in the North American, European
and Asia-Pacific regions contracting businesses, as well as sales resulting from
the acquisition of The Earth Technology Corporation ("Earth Tech") in the third
quarter of fiscal 1996. Sales of the Flow Control group increased $144.6
million, or 14%, to $1.16 billion, reflecting higher volume at Allied, including
businesses acquired by Allied in the second half of fiscal 1995 as well as from
Grinnell's distribution operations, Mueller and European Flow Control. Sales of
the Electrical and Electronic Components group increased $50.5 million to $480.6
million, or 12%, resulting principally from higher sales of underwater
communications cable systems at Simplex as well as at the printed circuit
businesses and at Allied's electrical conduit operations.
 
    Sales increased 11% during fiscal 1995 to $4.53 billion from $4.08 billion
in fiscal 1994. Sales of the Disposable and Specialty Products group increased
$187.6 million to $1.39 billion, or 16%, due to increased sales at Kendall,
Armin and Ludlow. Sales of the Fire and Safety Services group increased $177.5
million to $1.70 billion, or 12%, due primarily to increased sales in the
Asia-Pacific and North American operations. Sales were slightly higher in
Europe, where the impact of the sale of certain fire products operations in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1994 was offset by the impact of changes in average
foreign exchange rates on non-U.S. dollar denominated sales. Had average foreign
currency exchange rates during fiscal 1995 remained constant with the averages
during fiscal 1994, and excluding the effect of the fire products sale, the
increase in Fire Protection group sales would have been approximately $27.0
million lower than reported above. Sales of the Flow Control group increased
$100.0 million to $1.01 billion, or 11%, reflecting higher volume and, in some
cases, higher unit selling prices at Grinnell's distribution operations,
Allied's pipe and tube business, Mueller and European Flow Control businesses.
Sales of the Electrical and Electronic Components group decreased $6.8 million
to $430.1 million, or 2%, resulting principally from slightly lower sales at
Allied's electrical conduit operations, lower sales of underwater communications
cable systems at Simplex and lower sales at the printed circuit businesses.

INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES AND EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
 
    Pre-tax income before extraordinary item was $523.9 million in fiscal 1996
and $384.9 million in fiscal 1995. Pre-tax income increased 24% excluding the
$37.2 million charge for merger and transaction related costs in fiscal 1995.
 
    Operating profits of the Disposable and Specialty Products group increased
$30.5 million to $291.7 million, or 12%, reflecting higher earnings at Kendall
and Ludlow partially offset by decreased earnings at Armin, where profits were
adversely affected by changes in raw material costs. Operating profits of the
Fire and Safety Services group rose $41.6 million to $128.1 million, or 48%, due
to higher margins at fire protection operations in each geographic region, as
well as the inclusion of earnings from Earth Tech, which was acquired during the
third quarter of fiscal 1996. Operating profits of the Flow Control group
increased $23.7 million to $114.1 million, or 26%, resulting from increased
earnings principally at Allied and Mueller and, to a lesser extent, at the
group's other operating units. Operating profits of the Electrical and
Electronic Components group increased $12.1 million to $88.5 million, or 16%,
due to increased earnings at Simplex, the printed circuit businesses and at
Allied's electrical conduit operations.
 
    The impact on the consolidated sales and results of operations from changes
in foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar for fiscal 1996 as
compared to fiscal 1995 was not material.
 
    Corporate and other expenses rose to $39.8 million from $29.0 million in
fiscal 1995 (excluding merger and transaction related costs) due principally to
an increase in expense associated with the Company's accounts receivable
financing program. Under the program, the discount on accounts receivable is
included in selling, general and administrative expense and is excluded from
interest expense. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
    Pre-tax income before extraordinary item was $384.9 million in fiscal 1995
and $328.2 million in fiscal 1994. Fiscal 1995 results include pre-tax charges
of $37.2 million for merger and transaction related costs associated with the
Kendall merger. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
    Operating profits of the Disposable and Specialty Products group increased
$69.5 million to $261.2 million, or 36%, reflecting increased volume and higher
margins principally at Kendall, Armin and, to a lesser extent, Ludlow. Operating
profits of the Fire and Safety Services group rose $16.3 million to $86.5
million, or 23%, due principally to higher margins at the North American and
Asia-pacific contracting and manufacturing businesses, partially offset by lower
margins at the European businesses. The operating profits of the Flow Control
group increased $16.3 million to $90.4 million, or 22%, resulting principally
from increased earnings at Grinnell's North American distribution operations,
Allied, Mueller and European Flow Control. Operating profits of the Electrical
and Electronic Components group increased $3.9 million to $76.4 million, or 5%,
due to higher margins at Allied's electrical conduit operations and increased
earnings at Simplex.
 
    The impact on the consolidated results of operations from changes in average
foreign exchange rates for fiscal 1995 as compared to fiscal 1994 was not
material.
 
    Corporate and other expenses for fiscal 1995 include the $37.2 million
charge for merger and transaction related costs noted above. Also included is
expense of $8.2 million, as compared to $4.1 million for fiscal 1994, related to
the Company's accounts receivable financing program. See Note 5 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
INTEREST EXPENSE
 
    Interest expense decreased $4.5 million to $58.9 million during fiscal 1996
due to lower average interest rates partially offset by higher average debt
levels. Interest expense increased $1.0 million to
 
                                       43
<PAGE>
$63.4 million during fiscal 1995 due to higher average interest rates partially
offset by lower average debt levels.
 
EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
 
    During fiscal 1995, the Company refinanced $100 million principal amount of
Kendall's subordinated notes due 2003. In connection with the refinancing, the
Company recorded a charge of $4.3 million ($2.6 million after-tax), representing
unamortized debt issuance fees and a call premium, as an extraordinary loss.
 
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
 
    Income tax expense before extraordinary item was $213.8 million in fiscal
1996 and $168.3 million in fiscal 1995. An analysis of income taxes and the
effective income tax rate is presented in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    As presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, net cash provided
by operating activities was $393.4 million in fiscal 1996. The significant
changes in working capital were an $83.6 million increase in accounts
receivable, a $24.5 million increase in contracts in process, a $26.6 million
decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a $20.8 million increase
in inventory. The impact during fiscal 1996 of a strengthened dollar on foreign
currency denominated net working capital was not material. Working capital
requirements are not anticipated to increase substantially in fiscal 1997.
 
    During fiscal 1996, the Company used cash of $301.4 million to acquire
companies in the disposable and specialty products, fire and safety services and
flow control products businesses, $123.2 million to purchase property, plant and
equipment, $30.5 million to pay dividends to shareholders and $6.9 million to
reacquire shares. The Company received net cash of $49.8 million from the sale
of certain brand names and domestic assets of the Curad and Futuro consumer
healthcare products business.
 
    The level of capital expenditures is expected to increase moderately in
fiscal 1997, and the source of funds for such expenditures is expected to be
cash from operations.
 
    Expenditures for environmental matters are not expected to have a material
effect on the Company in fiscal 1997. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
 
    At June 30, 1996 the Company's total debt was $639.4 million as compared to
$590.8 million at June 30, 1995. The Company utilized borrowings under its
uncommitted lines of credit to partially finance its acquisitions in fiscal
1996, as well as to repay an insurance company note due in June 1996.
 
    The Company believes that its funding sources are adequate for its
anticipated requirements, including the July 1996 acquisition of Thorn and the
proposed acquisition of Carlisle, through expected cash flow from operations and
established financing arrangements.
 
    Shareholders' equity was $1,938.4 million, or $12.67 per share, at June 30,
1996 compared to $1,634.7 million, or $10.70 per share, at June 30, 1995. The
increase is due principally to fiscal 1996 net income, partially offset by a
decrease of $25.1 million resulting from translation of assets, principally
goodwill, and liabilities of foreign operations into U.S. dollars. Because the
dollar was stronger against foreign currencies at June 30, 1996 than at June 30,
1995, the net assets recorded in local currencies translated into a lesser
amount of U.S. dollars, resulting in a decrease in the various asset and
liability accounts as well as shareholders' equity.
 
                                       44
<PAGE>
    Total debt as a percent of total capitalization (total debt and
shareholders' equity) was 25% at June 30, 1996 and 27% at June 30, 1995.
 
BACKLOG
 
    Backlog at June 30, 1996 amounted to $1.15 billion, compared to $1.05
billion at June 30, 1995. The increased backlog at June 30, 1996 is due to an
increase in the Company's Disposable and Specialty Products, Fire and Safety
Services, and Flow Control Products business segments, partially offset by a
decrease in the Company's Electrical and Electronic Components segment. Within
the Electrical and Electronic Components segment, increases at the Printed
Circuit Group and Allied's electrical conduit operations were offset by a
decrease at Simplex, where backlog is affected by the timing of delivery under
contracts for underwater cable communications systems.
 
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
 
    In October 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." The standard defines a fair value based method of accounting for
employee stock options. The compensation expense arising from this method can be
reflected in the financial statements or, alternatively, the pro forma net
income and income per share effect of the fair value based accounting can be
disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements. The Company will adopt
SFAS 123 in fiscal 1997 and expects to adopt the footnote disclosure
alternative.

                                   ARTICLE I 

                                  Stockholders 
 
     Section 1.     Annual Meeting.  The annual meeting of stockholders shall be
     ---------      --------------
held on such date and at such time as shall be designated by the Board of
Directors.  The purposes for which the annual meeting are to be held, in
addition to those prescribed by law, by the Articles of Organization, or by
these by-laws, may be specified by the Board of Directors or by the President. 
 
     Section 2.     Special Meetings.  Special meetings of stockholders may be
     ---------      ----------------
called by the chief executive officer or by the Board of Directors or as
otherwise authorized by law.  The call for the meeting may be oral or written
and shall state the place, date, hour, and purposes of the meeting. 
 
     Section 3.     Notice of Meetings; Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. 
     ---------      ---------------------------------------------------------
 
     (a)  A written notice of the place, date, and hour of all meetings of
stockholders stating the purposes of the meeting shall be given by the Clerk or
an Assistant Clerk (or other person authorized by these by-laws or by law) at
least ten days before the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat
and to each stockholder who, by law, by the Articles of Organization, or by
these by-laws is entitled to such notice, by leaving such notice with him or at
his residence or usual place of business or by mailing it postage prepaid and
addressed to such stockholder at his address as it appears upon the records of
the corporation.  Notice need not be given to a stockholder if a written waiver
of notice, executed before or after the meeting by such stockholder or his
attorney thereunto authorized, is filed with the records of the meeting. 
 
     (b)  Any stockholder desiring to make a nomination for the election of
directors or a proposal to be submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders
must timely submit written notice, consisting of such nomination or proposal and
the other information required by this section, to the Secretary of the
corporation.  To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be received at the
corporation's principal office not later than the close of business on the
sixtieth day prior to the scheduled date of the meeting in question.  If a
stockholder's notice pertains to the nomination of directors, it shall set forth
as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or
reelection as a director all information relating to such person that is
required in solicitations of proxies for the election of directors or as may be
otherwise required pursuant to Section 14 (including the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder) and Schedule 14A (or in each case any successors thereto
or similar provisions) under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, and a
representation that such person has consented to being named in a proxy
statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected.  If a
stockholder's notice pertains to a proposal to be submitted to a vote, it shall
set forth the exact language of such proposal as it is proposed to be presented
to the meeting of stockholders.  Any stockholder's notice submitted









                                        1







<PAGE>






pursuant to this section also shall specify the meeting of stockholders as to
which it is submitted and shall set forth as to the stockholder giving the
notice (i) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation's books, of
such stockholder and (ii) the class and number of shares of the capital stock of
the corporation which are beneficially owned by such stockholder as of the date
of the notice.  The person presiding at the meeting may in his or her discretion
determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination or proposal was not made
in accordance with the foregoing procedures and, in the event of such
determination, shall so declare to the meeting, and the defective nomination or
proposal shall be disregarded. 
 
     Section 4.     Quorum.  At any meeting of stockholders the holders of
     ---------      ------
outstanding shares of stock of the corporation entitled to cast a majority of
the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all classes of capital stock of
the corporation entitled to vote generally in elections of directors, considered
for this purpose as one class, present in person or represented by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum, but the holders of a lesser number of shares of stock of
the corporation may adjourn any meeting from time to time and such meeting may
be held as adjourned without further notice.  When a quorum is present, the
holders of shares of stock of the corporation entitled to cast a majority of the
votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all classes of the corporation's
capital stock which are present at such meeting, either in person or represented
by proxy, except where a larger vote is required by law, by the Articles of
Organization, or by these by-laws, shall decide any matter brought before the
meeting. 
 
     Section 5.     Voting and Proxies.  At any meeting of stockholders, each
     ---------      ------------------
stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote held by
him of record according to the books of the corporation and a proportionate vote
for a fractional share, unless otherwise provided by law or by the Articles of
Organization.  Stockholders entitled to vote may vote either in person or by
written proxy as permitted by law.  Proxies shall be filed with the Clerk of the
meeting, or of any adjournment(s) thereof, before being voted.  Proxies shall
entitle the persons named therein to vote at any adjournment(s) of such meeting
but, except as otherwise permitted by law, shall not be valid after the
adjourned meeting.  Proxies need not be sealed or attested.  A proxy with
respect to stock held in the name of two or more persons shall be valid if
executed by one of them, unless at or prior to exercise of the proxy the
corporation receives a specific written notice to the contrary from any one of
them.  A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a stockholder shall
be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of
proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger.  All proxies and ballots shall
be received and tabulated by inspectors of election, who shall be independent of
the corporation and its directors and officers.  All proxies, ballots and vote
tabulations that identify the vote of a particular stockholder shall be kept
confidential, except to the extent necessary to meet the requirements of
applicable law and except that information as to which stockholders have or have
not voted and periodic status reports on the aggregate vote may be made
available to the corporation if the corporation so requests. 
 
     Section 6.     Certain Business Combinations.  The stockholder vote
     ---------      -----------------------------
required to approve Business Combinations shall be as set forth in this 



















                                        2

Section 6 (all capitalized terms being used in this Section 6 as defined in this
Section 6): 
 
     1.   Higher Vote for Business Combinations.  Except as otherwise expressly
          -------------------------------------
provided in Subsection 3 of this Section 6, in addition to any affirmative vote
required by law, the Articles of Organization, or these by-laws (and
notwithstanding the fact that no vote may be required, or that a lower
proportion may be specified, by law or in any agreement between the Corporation
and any national securities exchange or other person, or otherwise), approval of
the following types of transactions, or any agreement, contract, or other
arrangement providing for entry into such a transaction, shall require the
affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 80 percent of the outstanding
shares of Voting Stock, voting together as a single class: 
 
          A.   any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or a Subsidiary
     with or into a Related Person or any other corporation that is, or after
     such merger or consolidation would be, an Affiliate or Associate of a
     Related Person; 
 
          B.   any sale, lease, exchange, transfer, or other disposition
     (including, without limitation, the creation of a mortgage or any other
     security interest) to a Related Person or to an Affiliate or Associate of a
     Related Person, in one transaction or a series of transactions, of any
     Substantial Part of the assets of the Corporation (including, without
     limitation, any voting securities of a Subsidiary) or of a Subsidiary; 
 
          C.   any sale, lease, exchange, transfer, or other disposition to the
     Corporation or a Subsidiary, in one transaction or a series of
     transactions, of the assets of a Related Person, or an Affiliate or
     Associate of a Related Person, in an amount that would immediately prior to
     such transaction constitute a Substantial Part of the assets of the
     Corporation; 
 
          D.   any issuance or sale by the Corporation or any Subsidiary of any
     securities of the Corporation or a Subsidiary to a Related Person or an
     Affiliate or Associate of a Related Person, other than pursuant to an
     employee plan approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors and by the
     stockholders of the Corporation; 
 
          E.   any acquisition by the Corporation or a Subsidiary of any
     securities of a Related Person or of an Affiliate or Associate of a Related
     Person; 
 
          F.   any adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or
     dissolution of the Corporation proposed by or on behalf of a Related Person
     or any Affiliate or Associate of a Related Person; 
 
          G.   any reclassification of securities (including any reverse stock
     split), recapitalization of the Corporation, or any other transaction
     (whether or not with or otherwise involving a Related Person) that has the
     effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing the proportion of the
     outstanding shares of any class of equity security of



















                                        3







<PAGE>






     the Corporation or any Subsidiary directly or indirectly owned by any
     Related Person or any Affiliate or Associate of any Related Person; and 
 
          H.   any transaction (including, a merger or consolidation of the
     Corporation with or into a Subsidiary) occurring at a time when a Related
     Person exists, as a result of which the provisions of this Section 6 or
     substantially equivalent provisions would thereafter cease to be in effect.

 
     2.   Definition of "Business Combination".  As used in this Section 6, the
          ------------------------------------
term "Business Combination" means any transaction or transactions, or agreement
providing for a transaction or transactions, referred to in Subsection 1 of this
Section 6. 
 
     3.   When Higher Vote is Not Required.  The provisions of Subsection 1 of
this Section 6 shall not be applicable to any particular Business Combination,
and such Business Combination shall require only such affirmative vote as is
required by law and any other provision of these by-laws or the Articles of
Organization, if all the conditions specified in any one of the following
paragraphs A, B, or C are met: 
 
          A.   Approval in Advance by the Board of Directors.  Not less than a
               ---------------------------------------------
     majority of the Continuing Directors then holding office, in advance of
     either the acquisition of outstanding shares of Voting Stock or the issue
     or sale by the Corporation of shares of Voting Stock that caused the

     and conditions, if any, as they deemed appropriate at the time, that the 80

          B.   Approval by Continuing Directors.  A majority of the Continuing
               --------------------------------
     Directors approve the Business Combination when it is proposed. 
 
          C.   Price and Procedure Requirements.  All the following conditions
               --------------------------------
     are met: 
 
               (i)  The Business Combination is a merger or consolidation, and
          the aggregate value of the cash and/or Fair Market Value of the
          property, securities, or other consideration to be received per share
          in the Business Combination by each holder of Common Stock is not less
          than the higher of (a) the highest per share price (with appropriate
          adjustments for recapitalizations and stock splits, stock dividends,
          and like distributions, with such distributions valued as of their
          distribution dates) paid by the Related Person (regardless of the form
          of such payment) in acquiring any of its holdings of Common Stock on
          any date (the "Reference Date") within the three-year period preceding
          the first public announcement of the earlier of the consummation and
          the proposal of the Business Combination (the "Announcement Date"),
          adjusted for inflation (but not deflation) as reflected in the
          consumer price index published by the United States Department of




















                                        4







<PAGE>






          Labor (or other then appropriate governmental body) between the
          Reference Date and the Announcement Date, and (b) the highest Closing
          Price per share of Common Stock during the period of one year
          preceding (and including) the Announcement Date. 
 
               (ii)  The Business Combination is a merger or consolidation, and
          the aggregate value of the cash and/or Fair Market Value of the
          property, securities or other consideration to be received per share
          in the Business Combination by each holder of shares of any class of
          outstanding Voting Stock (other than Common Stock) is not less than
          the highest of (a) the highest per share price (with appropriate
          adjustments for recapitalizations and stock splits, stock dividends,
          and like distributions, with such distributions valued as of their
          distribution dates) paid by the Related Person (regardless of the form
          of such payment) in acquiring any of its holdings of such class of
          Voting Stock on a Reference Date within the three-year period
          preceding the Announcement Date, adjusted for inflation (but not
          deflation) as reflected in the consumer price index published by the
          United States Department of Labor (or other then appropriate
          governmental body) between the Reference Date and the Announcement
          Date, (b) the highest Closing Price per share of such class of Voting
          Stock during the period of one year preceding (and including) the
          Announcement Date, and (c) the highest preferential amount per share
          to which the holders of shares of such class of Voting Stock are
          entitled in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,

               (iii)  The consideration to be received by holders of a
          particular class of outstanding Voting Stock (including Common Stock)
          shall be in cash or, if the application of subpart (a) of either parts
          (i) or (ii) of this paragraph C produces the higher or highest value,
          as applicable, in the same form as the Related Person previously paid
          for shares of such class of Voting Stock.  For the purposes of parts
          (i) and (ii), the phrase "other consideration to be received"
          includes, without limitation, Voting Stock retained by its existing
          stockholders in the event of a Business Combination in which the
          Corporation is the surviving corporation.  If the Related Person paid
          for shares of any class of Voting Stock with varying forms of
          consideration, the form of consideration for such class of Voting
          Stock shall be either cash or the same form used to acquire the
          largest number of shares of such class of Voting Stock previously
          acquired by such Related Person.  As used in this part (iii), the
          phrase "the same form" includes the requirement, with respect to any
          security (as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as
          amended, or any succeeding statute), that the security have, in the
          good faith judgment of a majority of the Continuing Directors, the
          same (or higher) level of soundness, liquidity, and general
          attractiveness as an investment on the Announcement Date as it had at
          the Reference Date. 
 
               (iv)      After the Related Person became a Related Person and
          prior to the consummation of such Business Combination: (a) except



















                                        5







<PAGE>






          as approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors, there shall
          have been no (1) failure to declare and pay at the regular date
          therefor any full dividends (whether or not cumulative) on the
          outstanding Preferred Stock or (2) reduction in the annual rate or
          frequency of dividends paid on the Common Stock (except as necessary
          to reflect any subdivision of, or dividends paid in, the Common
          Stock), and (b) there shall have been such increase in the annual rate
          of dividends on the Common Stock as may be necessary to reflect any
          reclassification of securities (including any reverse stock split),
          recapitalization, reorganization, or any similar transaction that had
          the effect of reducing the number of outstanding shares of the Common
          Stock, unless the failure so to increase such annual rate was approved
          by a majority of the Continuing Directors. 
 
               (v)  After the Related Person became a Related Person, such
          Related Person shall not have received the benefit, directly or
          indirectly (except proportionately as a stockholder), of any loans,
          advances, guarantees, pledges, or other financial assistance or any
          tax credits or other tax advantages provided by the Corporation or a
          Subsidiary, unless the transaction (or agreement providing for the
          transaction) in which such benefit was received was approved by a
          majority of the Continuing Directors at the time. 
 
               (vi)  A proxy or information statement describing the proposed
          Business Combination and complying with the requirements of the
          Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder shall have been
          mailed to stockholders of the Corporation at least forty-five days
          prior to the consummation of such Business Combination (whether or not
          such proxy or information statement is required to be mailed pursuant
          to such Act).

     Section 1.  Certificates of Stock.  Each stockholder shall be entitled to a
     ---------   ---------------------
certificate of the capital stock of the corporation in such form as shall, in
conformity to law, be prescribed from time to time by the Board of Directors. 
Such certificate shall be signed by the President or a Vice President and by the
Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer.  Such signatures may be facsimile if the
certificate is signed by a Transfer Agent or by a Registrar other than a
director, officer, or employee of the corporation.  In case any officer who has
signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on any such certificate
shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, such
certificate may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were
such officer at the time of its issue.  Every certificate for shares of stock

affixed, and with such proof of the authenticity of signature as the corporation
or its Transfer Agent may reasonably require.

entitled to treat the record holder of stock as shown on its books as the owner
of such stock for all purposes, including the payment of dividends and the right
to vote with respect thereto, regardless of any transfer, pledge, or other
disposition of such stock, until the shares have been transferred on the books
of the corporation in accordance with the requirements of these by-laws.  It
shall be the duty of each stockholder to notify the corporation of his post
office address. 
 
     Section 4.  Record Dates.  The Board of Directors may in advance fix a date
     ---------   ------------
not more than sixty days preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders, or
the date for the payment of any dividend or the making of any distribution to
stockholders, or the last day on which the consent or dissent of stockholders
may be effectively expressed for any purpose, as the record date for determining
the stockholders having the right to notice of and to vote at such meeting, and
any adjournment thereof, or the right to receive such dividend or distribution,
or the right to give such consent or dissent.  In such case only stockholders of
record on such record date shall have such right notwithstanding any transfer of
stock on the books of the corporation after the record date.  Without fixing
such record date the Board of Directors may for any such purposes close the
transfer books for all or any part of such period.

expenses, or as a stock dividend, and on such terms as the Board of Directors
may determine from time to time without first offering the same for subscription
to stockholders of the corporation.

stockholder for any proper purpose, but not to secure a list of stockholders for
the purpose of selling said list or copies thereof or of using the same for a
purpose other than in the interest of the applicant, as a stockholder, relative
