NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fluke Corporation and Subsidiaries
1. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements do not
purport to be full presentations and do not include all information and
disclosures required for fair presentation by generally accepted
accounting principles, but rather include only that information required
by the instructions to Form 10-Q. However, in the opinion of
management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary to present fairly the Consolidated Balance Sheets
of the Company at October 28, 1994 and April 29, 1994 and the
Consolidated Statements of Income for the quarter and two quarters ended
October 28, 1994 and October 29, 1993 and the Statements of Cash Flows
for the two quarters ended October 28, 1994 and October 29, 1993.
2. The results of operations for the quarters ended October 28, 1994
and October 29, 1993 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.
3. The Company paid a $0.14 per share quarterly cash dividend on August
19, 1994 to stockholders of record on July 29, 1994. On September 15,
1994, the Company's Board of Directors declared a $ 0.14 per share
quarterly cash dividend for stockholders of record on October 28, 1994
which was paid on November 18, 1994.

Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fluke Corporation and Subsidiaries
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter Ended October 28, 1994 Versus October 29, 1993
The Company sells products and incurs expenses in many currencies. In
general, the U.S. dollar was weaker against all the major currencies
compared to the same quarter a year ago. On a weighted average, the
foreign currencies, in which the Company has transactions, were
approximately 6 percent stronger than the same quarter a year ago. The
impact of the change in currency rates on the financial results is
discussed below.
Revenues of $91.6 million in the quarter ended October 28, 1994, were
2.3 percent higher than the revenues of $89.6 million in the quarter
ended October 29, 1993. Revenues in the United States declined 1.8
percent and international revenues increased 6.1 percent. The order
volume decline in the first quarter, which was discussed in the Form 10Q
for the first quarter, contributed to the lower revenues in the second
quarter in the United States.
The increase in international revenues was generated primarily in Asia
and Latin America. Countries that had significant revenue growth
included Korea, Mexico, and Taiwan. Although the business conditions
within Europe have improved somewhat from a year ago as indicated by the
increase in order levels, revenues in Europe declined 2.0 percent. In
the local currencies, revenues in Europe actually declined by more than
the 2.0 percent since the stronger European currencies versus the U.S.
dollar helped the European revenues when converted to U.S. dollars.
Cost of goods sold declined 2.9 percent in the quarter ended October 28,
1994 from the quarter ended October 29, 1993. The decline in cost of
goods sold from last year was partially due to the cost of inventory
sold in the second quarter of last year which was related to the
acquisition of the test and measurement business of Philips Electronics
N.V. (Philips). This inventory was carried at a higher acquisition
value, as compared to current cost, and the majority of the inventory
was shipped during fiscal 1994. In addition, factory operating costs
were favorably affected by several process improvement initiatives by
factory management, product mix sold and a refund of state sales and use
tax, which also had a small, favorable impact on operating expenses.
Operating expenses increased 7.0 percent in the quarter ended October
28, 1994 over the quarter ended October 29, 1993. The strengthened
currencies, mentioned above, had a negative impact on expenses. Of the
7.0 percent increase in operating expense, approximately 3 percent of
the increase was a result of the stronger currencies.
Marketing and administrative expense increased 8.5 percent. The
stronger European currencies caused approximately 3 percent of the
increase, while the rest resulted from operating issues. The increase
from operating activities was caused by several factors, none that had a
significant impact individually. These factors included additional
administrative expense in Europe, increased intellectual property costs,
and higher commissions to reps and distributors.
<PAGE>
Nonoperating expense (income) was a slight income amount in the quarter
ended October 28, 1994, compared to $1.2 million of expense in the
quarter ended October 29, 1993. This swing was caused primarily by
foreign currency losses a year ago, versus gains recorded this year and
secondarily by gains on the sale of excess buildings this year.
Two Quarters Ended October 28,1994 Versus Two Quarters Ended October 29,
1993
The currency impact for the two-quarter period was not as pronounced as
in the one quarter period, with the local currencies strengthening
approximately 2 percent against the U.S. dollar.
Revenues of $177.6 million were 1.9 percent higher than revenues of
$174.2 million a year ago. Revenues in the United States decreased 2.2
percent and international revenues increased 5.8 percent from a year
ago. Revenues in Europe were down less than 1 percent, while revenues
from intercontinental regions increased 23.3 percent.
Cost of goods sold decreased 2.3 percent in the two quarters ended
October 28, 1994 from the two quarters ended October 29, 1993 primarily
due to the same reasons mentioned above.
Operating expense increased 4.8 percent in the two quarters ended
October 28, 1994 over the two quarters ended October 29, 1993. In the
first quarter ended July 29, 1994, the Company received a $617,000
arbitration award and related interest of $170,000. Operating expenses
were reduced by the $617,000 arbitration award, while the interest
income reduced nonoperating expenses. The increase in operating
expense, after excluding the arbitration award, was caused by the
factors mentioned above, as well as increased research and development
in the first quarter of fiscal 1994.
Nonoperating expense (income) went from a $1.6 million expense in the
two quarters ended October 29, 1993, to a small income amount in the two
quarters ended October 28, 1994. The primary cause of this change was
foreign currency losses in fiscal 1994 versus gains recorded in fiscal
1995 and secondarily by gains on the sale of excess buildings this year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At October 28, 1994, $25.2 million of the Company's long term lines of
credit were outstanding compared to $14.3 million at April 29, 1994.
The Company made a stock purchase and had capital expenditures and
working capital requirements in the two quarters ended October 28, 1994
that required the additional borrowing. The Company does not
anticipate any significant borrowings over the remainder of the fiscal
year.
On June 24, 1994, the Company purchased 150,000 shares of common stock
from Philips for $4.5 million or $30.53 per share. The purchase of the
shares was made according to an agreement between the two companies
which allows Philips to sell a set number of shares over a defined
period. Under the agreement, the Company has the right to purchase any
shares Philips offers for sale or can allow them to be sold on the open
market under certain conditions. After the transaction, Philips owns
approximately 1.4 million shares.
<PAGE>
The Company made capital expenditures of $5.1 million in the quarter and
$9.6 million in the two quarters ended October 28, 1994 compared to $1.7
million in the quarter and $4.7 million in the two quarters ended
October 29, 1993. Increased investment in new manufacturing equipment
and computer systems for the new European operations are the causes of
the increase in capital expenditures.
The current ratio was 3.20 to 1 at October 28, 1994, 2.74 to 1 at April
29, 1994 and 2.84 to 1 at October 29, 1993.
The Company's exposure to foreign exchange currency fluctuations has
increased since the addition of operations in Europe resulting from the
purchase of the Philips test and measurement business on May 1, 1993.
The currencies of most of the countries in which the Company operates
have strengthened during fiscal 1995. As mentioned above, this causes
foreign exchange gains to be recorded in the income statement. It also
causes the local currency assets to increase when stated in U.S.
dollars. Goodwill and intangible assets, which are primarily Dutch
guilder denominated, increased approximately $2.4 million as a result of
the change in the currency translation rate.
The Company has a program to hedge some of its foreign exchange exposure
using forward exchange contracts. The contracts can not be speculative
and are limited to actual currency risk. The Company does not currently
use any other form of derivatives in managing its financial risk.
