                      Report of Independent Accountants





To the Participants and Administrator of
the Hewlett-Packard Company Tax Saving
Capital Accumulation Plan


In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying
index present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available
for benefits of the Hewlett-Packard Company (the Company) Tax
Saving Capital Accumulation Plan at July 31, 1993 and 1992, and
the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 
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
of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The additional
information included in Schedules I and II is presented for purposes
of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements but is additional information required by ERISA.  Such
information has been subjected to the procedures applied in the
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

Tax Saving Capital Accumulation Plan
Notes to Financial Statements

1.  Plan Description

    The following brief description of the Hewlett-Packard Company (the
    Company) Tax Saving Capital Accumulation Plan (the Plan) is provided
    for general information purposes only and is effective as of July 31,
    1993.  Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more
    complete description of the Plan's provisions.  The purpose of the
    Plan is to provide a convenient way for eligible employees to share
    in the ownership, earnings and growth of the Company, thereby offering
    them an additional incentive to continue their careers with the Company.
    Additionally, the Plan provides eligible employees an opportunity to
    save for their retirement to supplement benefits provided under the 
    Company's retirement programs and the Federal Social Security Act.

    The Plan is designed to qualify as a stock bonus plan under Section
    401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and
    to meet the requirements set forth in Section 401(k) of the Code.  The
    Plan is also intended to qualify as an individual account plan which
    permits each participant to exercise control over certain assets of the
    Plan pursuant to Section 404(c) of the Employee Retirement Income
    Security Act (ERISA).

    Employees who are eligible to participate in the 401(k) program include
    those employees of the Company and designated domestic subsidiaries who
    are on the U.S. payroll and who are employed as regular full-time or
    regular part-time employees by the Company one year after their
    original hire date.  Participation in the 401(k) program is at the
    election of the employee.  Mr. David Packard, who retired as Chairman
    of the Board effective November 1, 1993, was not eligible to participate
    in the Plan.

    Participating employees may have their salary deferred by the Company
    through payroll deductions and contributions made directly to their
    401(k) account.  The deferrals are funded by the Company at the end of
    each payroll period.  In addition, the Company contributes to the
    employee's account one-third of the amount which has been deferred and
    contributed on behalf of the employee.  The Company matching
    contribution is funded after the close of each fiscal quarter and
    includes interest earned on deferrals prior to investment in the
    participant's elected investment options.  Employees are one hundred
    percent vested in the Plan.

    Employees can invest their account balance and/or future contributions
    in any combination of the five investment options.  Participating
    employees can transfer their invested funds among the investment
    options and/or change the investment of their future contributions
    daily as desired.  These transfers and changes can be made in whole
    percent increments.

    All contributions made under the Plan are paid to and invested by the
    trustee in one or more of five investment options.  Contributions can
    be invested in short-term investments prior to the purchase of fund
    securities.  Four of the investment options are mutual funds of
    Fidelity Investments, managed by the Fidelity Management and Research
    Company.  The five investment funds are:

                         Company common stock purchased on the open market or
                         contributed by the Company.  The fund also includes
                         the Fidelity Institutional Cash Portfolio Money
                         Market and the Fidelity U.S. Government Reserves
                         Portfolio.

    Equity Fund -        A fund comprised of investments in the Fidelity
                         Magellan Fund.  The fund manager makes investments
                         primarily in common stock and securities convertible
                         into common stock.

    Equity Index Fund -  A fund comprised of investments in the Fidelity
                         U.S. Equity Index Portfolio.  The fund manager
                         makes investments in equity securities and
                         attempts to duplicate the composition and total
                         returns of the Standard & Poor's Daily Stock Price
                         Index of 500 Common Stocks.

    Bond Fund -          A fund comprised of investments in Fidelity
                         Intermediate Bond Fund.  Investments are made in
                         high and upper medium grade fixed income
                         obligations, and may include U.S. government and
                         agency securities, corporate bonds, bank
                         obligations, and similar instruments.

    Money Market Fund -  A fund comprised of investments in Fidelity
                         Retirement Money Market Portfolio.  Investments
                         are made in high quality, U.S. dollar-denominated
                         money market instruments of U.S. and foreign
                         issuers, including short-term obligations of
                         banks, governments and their agencies and
                         corporations.

    Employees are permitted to borrow portions of their account balance. 
    The loan amount and term are limited by the Code and ERISA.  Funds for
    the loans are obtained by liquidating the investment in the employee's
    account.  Principal and interest payments, representing repayments of
    loans taken by participants, are typically made through payroll
    deductions and are paid directly into the employee's account after the
    end of each semi-monthly payroll period.  Loans may be repaid in full
    at any time following the issuance of the loan.

    The Plan also provides for hardship withdrawals subject to certain
    restrictions as outlined in the Plan document.

    Although the company has no present intention to terminate the Plan,
    the Plan provides that in the event of Plan termination, participants'
    interest accrued to the date of termination shall be nonforfeitable. 
    Benefits shall continue to be distributed in accordance with the Plan. 
    The trustee shall continue in its capacity until all assets of the Plan
    have been distributed to the participants.  Benefits are payable in a
    lump sum.  Certain participants from certain companies acquired by the
    Company may elect to take their benefits as an annuity.

Hewlett-Packard Company

Tax Saving Capital Accumulation Plan
Notes to Financial Statements


    Fidelity Investments provides investment management, record keeping and
    trustee services for the Plan.  The Company determines questions of
    eligibility for participation, interprets the Plan, communicates with
    participants and their beneficiaries and is otherwise generally
    responsible for Plan operations.


2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
    accounting with investments being carried at current market value, as
    quoted on the active market.  Loans to participants are valued at their
    outstanding principal amount.

    Realized gains/losses on investments sold and the unrealized
    gains/losses on investments held during the year are determined on a
    revalued cost basis.

    All dividends and capital distributions received from the Fidelity
    Magellan Fund, Fidelity U.S. Equity Index Portfolio, and Fidelity
    Intermediate Bond Fund are reinvested, and are recognized as part of
    the net investment gains from registered investment companies.

    All direct administrative expenses are borne by the Plan as allowed by
    law.


3.  Contributions

    Employee and Company contributions are made in cash for all Funds
    except the Stock Fund.  Contributions to the Stock Fund may be made in
    either cash or Hewlett-Packard Company common stock.  Stock
    contributions attributable to employee deferrals totaled $21,279,000 in
    1993 and $16,646,000 in 1992.  Stock contributions attributable to
    Company contributions totaled $7,093,000 in 1993 and $5,549,000 in
    1992.  Contributions of Hewlett-Packard Company common stock are valued
    at their fair market value, as quoted on the active market, on the date
    of contribution.


4.  Investments

    For the years ended July 31, 1993 and 1992, the net appreciation in the
    fair market value of the Hewlett-Packard Company common stock held
    during the year comprised realized gains of $2,737,000 and $4,981,000,
    respectively, and unrealized losses of $2,635,000 and unrealized gains
    of $78,600,000, respectively.

5.  Taxes

    The Company has received a favorable determination letter from the
    Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as to the initial qualified status of
    the Plan.  Additionally, the Company has received a favorable
    determination letter as to the amendments adopted relating to the
    Retirement Equity and Deficit Reduction Acts of 1984 and to the Tax
    Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982.  The Company has not yet
    requested but intends to request a determination letter from the IRS
    for the subsequent amendments adopted.

    The Company's management is of the opinion that the Plan and the trust
    which forms a part of the Plan have been maintained in accordance with
    Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and, therefore, it is
    believed that the Plan continues to be qualified.  Accordingly, no
    provision for federal or state income tax has been provided.

    Deferrals made on behalf of the employees and the Company's matching
    contributions are not subject to federal income taxes until such time
    as the employees' funds are withdrawn from the Plan.  At withdrawal,
    the employees' funds may qualify for special tax treatment.  Pursuant
    to the Unemployment Compensation amendments of 1992, effective January
    1, 1993, all "eligible rollover distributions" which are not paid out
    in the form of a direct rollover to an IRA or another qualified plan
    are subject to a mandatory 20% federal income tax withholding.  Loans
    taken by employees against their 401(k) account are not subject to
    federal income taxes if they are repaid within five years.  However, if
    the employee terminates with an outstanding loan, the employee will be
    subject to taxation on the entire amount of the loan.


6.  Transfer of Plan Assets

    The Company acquired Avantek, Inc. (Avantek) on November 4, 1991 via a
    cash acquisition.  At the time of purchase, Avantek maintained the
    Avantek, Inc. Profit-Sharing Investment Plan, a defined contribution
    plan that provided retirement benefits for eligible employees.  The 
    profit-sharing and after-tax participant accounts in the Avantek, Inc.
    Profit-Sharing Investment Plan were transferred to a new plan, The
    Profit-Sharing Plan of Avantek, Inc. on July 1, 1992.  The remaining
    pre-tax participant accounts in the Avantek, Inc. Profit-Sharing
    Investment Plan were transferred to the Plan on October 1, 1992.  The
    Avantek, Inc. Profit-Sharing Investment Plan was subsequently
    terminated. The plan termination was done pursuant to a favorable
    Internal Revenue Service determination letter.

Tax Saving Capital Accumulation Plan



This section is a "Summary Plan Description" as required by the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  This
section provides the highlights of the Plan, but it is far shorter
and less technical than the official Plan documents.  The official
Plan documents are always used to determine when and what benefits
will be provided under the Plan.

What TAXCAP Offers You

Your retirement income comes from three sources: HP retirement
benefits, Social Security benefits and your personal savings.  The
Company offers the Hewlett-Packard Company Tax Saving Capital
Accumulation Plan (TAXCAP) to help you accumulate personal savings
for retirement. 

TAXCAP provides you: 

  An opportunity to share in the ownership and performance of HP. 

  An incentive to save regularly on a pretax basis and gain
  additional contributions from HP. 

The Plan in Brief

Hewlett-Packard administers and sponsors TAXCAP.  The Company
determines eligibility for participation and benefits, interprets
the Plan and authorizes transactions. 

In 1991, HP hired Fidelity Investments (Fidelity), a group of
affiliated financial service companies, to be the full-service
provider for TAXCAP.  Full service is a package which offers
recordkeeping, trustee and investment management services.
Headquartered in Boston, with offices in 54 cities nationwide,
Fidelity is one of the largest and best known investment management
organizations in the country.  The firm currently manages more than
$150 billion for more than nine million individual and
institutional accounts.  As a leader in the mutual fund industry,
Fidelity has developed both investment products and services that
are now standard for the industry. 

If you are a regular full-time or regular part-time employee, you
become eligible to join TAXCAP on the first February 1, May 1,
August 1, or November 1 which is one year after your original hire
date.  You may also join the first of any following month after you
have satisfied the eligibility requirements. 

Under TAXCAP, generally you can elect to have HP defer 1 to 6
percent of your pay into your TAXCAP account through payroll
deductions.  However, if your Plan year compensation is less than
an amount defined by federal tax laws ($60,535 for the Plan year
ending July 31, 1992) you can defer up to 12 percent for the
following Plan year (beginning August 1, 1992).  You will be
informed in August of each year whether your TAXCAP limit is 6
percent or 12 percent.  The combined limit on your TAXCAP deferrals
and contributions to the Stock Purchase Plan is 12 percent. 

For every $3 of your deferrals, HP contributes an additional $1
(which includes interest on your deferred contributions prior to
investment in your elected investment options) to your account. You
choose how you want to invest your TAXCAP deferred contributions
among five options: four mutual funds from the Fidelity family of
funds plus the HP Stock Fund.  These options reflect risk versus
investment return opportunities ranging from conservative to
aggressive. 

Saving in TAXCAP reduces your current income taxes.  This is
because deferrals to your TAXCAP account are made before federal
and most state income taxes are calculated.  In addition, you do
not pay any taxes on amounts in your account as long as they remain
in TAXCAP. 

TAXCAP is offered to help you meet your long range financial goals. 
Your full account value is paid when you leave HP or die.  Because
of the tax advantages the Plan offers you, the government limits
withdrawals of your account before these events.  While you are an
active employee, you can make in-service withdrawals either after
you reach age 59 1/2 or for reasons of hardship.  You can also
borrow money from your account while you are an active employee. 
The following pages describe the main provisions of TAXCAP.  The
ERISA Information section of this book contains administrative
details and other information about the Plan. 

The following special terms used to describe the provisions of the
Plan are more fully defined in the Glossary:

Who Can Join The Plan

You are eligible to join the Plan only if you are a regular
full-time or regular part-time employee on the U.S. payroll except
employees in Puerto Rico.  You are not eligible to join the Plan if
you are classified in any other employment status.  If you meet the
eligibility requirements, you may enroll in the Plan-enrollment is
not automatic. 

When You May Join The Plan

You may join TAXCAP on the first of any month, starting with the
first entry date one year after your original hire date.  Entry
dates are February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1.  Your
Personnel Department will let you know when you first become
eligible. 

For Example:

If your hire date is June 1, 1992, you may first enroll on August
1, 1993.  That is the first entry date one year after your hire
date.  If you choose not to enroll on August 1, 1993, you may
enroll as of the first day of any following month.

You can enroll in TAXCAP via HP's Telephone Activated Benefits
System - TABS.  TABS phone number is 800-262-TABS or Telnet 857-TABS.
When you call TABS you must enter your desired deferral percentage
and specify the investment mix you want in 10 percent increments. 
Once you have enrolled in TAXCAP via TABS, your participation will
begin in the first pay period after you become eligible. 

Your Beneficiary

Once you enroll via TABS, you should also name a beneficiary to
receive your TAXCAP benefits at your death.  A beneficiary form can
be obtained from your Personnel Department.  If you are married,
your spouse will automatically be your sole beneficiary. If you
wish to name someone other than your spouse as beneficiary for any
part of your TAXCAP benefit, the law requires that you obtain your
spouse's written consent.  This consent must be witnessed by a Plan
representative or a notary public.  If your spouse does not provide
consent, the full value of your account will be paid to your spouse
in the event of your death, regardless of whom you have named as
beneficiary.  If you remarry, any previous consent is no longer
valid and you must obtain your new spouse's consent.  To change
your beneficiary, you must complete a new beneficiary form and
submit it to your Personnel Department. 

If you do not name a beneficiary - or if your beneficiary is not
living at the time of your death - payment of your TAXCAP account
will be made, in the following order, to:

  your surviving spouse
  your surviving children - in equal portions
  your surviving parents - in equal portions
  your estate 

How Much You May Defer

When you enroll, you authorize HP to defer up to your deferral
percentage limit of 1 to 12 percent of your pay through payroll
deductions from each paycheck.  Generally, pay is your regular wage
or salary, including commissions and shift differential, but not
including overtime or bonuses.  Pay is defined more completely in
the Glossary. 

Your combined TAXCAP deferrals and Stock Purchase Plan
contributions cannot exceed 12 percent of your pay at any time. You
will be informed on your earnings statement for the July 31 pay
period the percentage you are eligible to defer for the following
Plan year (up to 6 percent or 12 percent).  

You may change your deferral rate as of any pay period.  You can
stop your deferrals at any time.  However, when your deferrals
stop, so do HP's contributions.  Once you have stopped, you can
resume your deferrals as of any February 1, May 1, August 1, or
November 1.  YOUR DEFERRALS ARE PAID INTO THE TRUST ON THE
SCHEDULED HP PAYDAYS BUT ARE NOT INVESTED IN YOUR DESIGNATED
INVESTMENT OPTIONS UNTIL AFTER THE END OF EACH FISCAL QUARTER. 

How Your Deferrals Can Reduce Your Current Taxes

Federal and most state income taxes are based on the portion of
your pay remaining after your deferrals have been taken. Therefore,
participating in TAXCAP lowers your current federal taxable income
and possibly lowers current state and local taxable income.

For Example: 

Assume your annual pay is $35,000 and you elect to defer 6 percent
in TAXCAP.  Your annual deferral will be $2,100.  Although your
actual pay is $35,000, your taxable pay will be $32,900.  This is
because you are deferring $2,100 in the Plan before taxes. 

As of late 1992, the state of Pennsylvania and some cities are the
only tax-levying entities that consider your deferrals to be part
of your taxable income.

                             140

How Much HP Contributes

HP contributes $1 (which includes interest on your deferred
contributions prior to investment in your elected investment
options) for every $3 you defer in the Plan.  You do not pay any
income taxes on HP's contributions until you receive them from the
Plan. 

HP's contributions are paid into the trust after the end of each
fiscal quarter.  HP's contributions will be added to your account
if you: 

  Are an employee on the last business day of the fiscal quarter. 

  Retired from HP at age 55 or older and had at least 15 years of
  service, as defined in the retirement plan, with HP. 

  Died during the quarter. 

How Your TAXCAP Account Is Invested

You can choose to invest the money in your TAXCAP account among the
five investment options described below.  Investment earnings or
dividends will be reinvested in the options you have chosen and
included in your account balance.  You can invest your account
entirely in one option or can divide it among the five options, in
any combination. 

For Example:

You can choose to invest 100 percent in one option or choose to
invest 10 percent in one option, 60 percent in another, 20 percent
in a third, and 10 percent in a fourth.

After the end of each fiscal quarter, your deferrals and HP's
contributions are invested as you choose.  In the following
paragraphs, the options are described beginning with the most
conservative and ending with the most aggressive. 

  Fidelity Retirement Money Market Portfolio - Retirement Money
  Market Portfolio is a money market fund.  It seeks as high a level
  of current income as is consistent with the preservation of
  principal and liquidity.  It invests in high-quality, U.S. dollar-
  denominated money market instruments of U.S. and foreign issuers. 
  While the Portfolio seeks to maintain a $1.00 share price, there is
  no assurance that it will be able to do so.  An investment in the
  Portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government.  The
  Portfolio's yield will fluctuate. Retirement Money Market Portfolio
  is a conservative, relatively low-risk investment. 

  Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund - Intermediate Bond Fund is an
  income fund.  It seeks a high level of current income by investing
  primarily in investment-grade fixed income obligations rated Baa or
  better by Moody's or BBB or better by Standard & Poor's, including
  corporate bonds, mortgage securities, bank obligations and U.S.
  government and agency securities.  The Fund's dollar-weighted
  average portfolio maturity ranges between three and ten years.  The
  Fund's share price, yield and return will fluctuate. 

  Fidelity U.S. Equity Index Portfolio - U.S. Equity Index Portfolio
  is a growth and income fund.  It seeks investment results that
  correspond to the total return performance of the S&P 500 Index,
  which is comprised of common stocks.  Dividend amounts will vary. 
  The Portfolio's share price and return will fluctuate. 

  Fidelity Magellan Fund - Magellan Fund is a growth fund.  It
  seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in the stocks of
  both well-known and lesser known companies with potentially
  above-average growth potential and a correspondingly higher level
  of risk.  Securities may be of foreign and domestic companies.  The
  Fund's share price and return will fluctuate. 

  Hewlett-Packard Stock Fund - The Hewlett-Packard Stock Fund
  enables you to become a stockholder in the Company and to
  participate in HP's growth by investing almost exclusively in
  Hewlett-Packard Common Stock.  Like a mutual fund, this option
  holds a small percentage of high-quality money market instruments
  providing the option with same day exchangeability without the
  five-day-settlement period normally associated with purchases and
  sales of common stocks.  Unlike a mutual fund, this option is
  neither a managed nor diversified portfolio and is subject to both
  the normal external factors affecting the general level of stock
  prices and to specific factors affecting HP.  As a TAXCAP par-
  ticipant investing in the Hewlett-Packard Stock Fund, you have the
  right to vote the full shares of stock represented by your TAXCAP
  account.  Each year before the annual meeting, information will be
  mailed to you that will enable you to exercise your voting right. 

If you do not specify how your account is to be invested the entire
amount will automatically be invested in the Fidelity Retirement
Money Market Portfolio which is the most conservative investment.

Once you have enrolled in TAXCAP you may change your investment
mixes for future contributions in 1 percent increments as often as
you feel necessary by calling Fidelity at their toll free number
800-457-4015.  You may also exchange your current account balance
as often as you feel necessary by calling Fidelity at this number. 

                             141

8:30 am to 8:00 pm Eastern Time. 

Quarterly Participant Statements

Approximately four weeks after the end of each fiscal quarter you
will receive a statement from Fidelity summarizing all of your
account activity and administrative costs since the last statement
and the total value of your account. 

The information provided includes: 

  the beginning balance, which is the closing balance from the
  previous statement 

  investment performance (gains or losses) 

  investment elections (mixes) 

  any fund exchange activities that you authorized for the quarter 

  your deferrals for the quarter 

  loan information 

  HP's contributions for the quarter (which include interest on
  your deferred contributions prior to investment in your elected
  investment options) 

  your ending balance

  administrative costs

Administrative costs for TAXCAP include administrative costs for
both Fidelity and TAXCAP Administration in Corporate Offices.  The
costs are divided among participants based on the number of
individuals enrolled in the Plan.  The administrative costs are
expected to be $16 to $18 per participant, per year and are a line
item on the TAXCAP quarterly participant statement. 

How You Vest in Your Account

You are 100 percent vested in the value of all funds contributed to
your account from the moment they are placed in your account.  This
includes your deferrals, HP's contributions, rollover
contributions, and gains or losses.  The trustee holds the assets
for your exclusive benefit and they cannot be used for any other
purpose. 

Being immediately 100 percent vested does not mean you have
immediate access to the funds.  Rather, it means that 100 percent
of your account can be distributed if you leave HP or die. 

When Payouts Are Made

The primary purpose of TAXCAP is to help you meet your long-range
financial goals.  Therefore, your account value is only payable
when you leave HP or die.  EXCEPTIONS: While you are still an HP
employee, you can request an in-service hardship withdrawal, or
after you reach age 59 1/2, you can withdraw all or part of your
account. 

When Your HP Career Ends

The full value of your TAXCAP account is payable when you leave HP
or die. 

You must elect a distribution option on the TAXCAP Payment
Application at Termination of Participant form before you leave HP. 
The distribution options you have are: 

  lump sum amount in cash 

  HP stock and cash (only available if you are invested in the HP
  Stock Fund) 

  a direct rollover from TAXCAP to a Fidelity Investments
  Individual Retirement Account (IRA) 

  a direct rollover from TAXCAP to any other Individual Retirement
  Arrangement or another qualified plan 

                             142

If you elect a direct rollover form of payment, no federal or state
income tax withholding will apply to the amount directly rolled
over.  If you elect to have a portion of your TAXCAP account paid
directly to you, that portion of the distribution and any loan
amount outstanding in your account will be subject to mandatory 20
percent federal income tax withholding and, where applicable,
elective state income tax withholding.  You can avoid the mandatory
federal income tax withholding by electing to roll over 100 percent
of your distribution through the direct rollover options. 

If you elect to be paid in HP stock for your investments in the HP
Stock Fund, you will receive an HP stock certificate for the
equivalent number of whole shares in your HP Stock Fund.  The
remainder of your TAXCAP account after the stock shares are issued
will be paid in cash.  This distribution is subject to the
mandatory 20 percent federal income tax withholding. However,
income tax will be withheld only to the extent that cash is
available. 

If you do not make a distribution election within 60 days after the
time of termination and your account balance is $3,500 or less, or 
your account balance exceeds $3,500 and you have a loan
outstanding, then your full account balance will default to payment
in cash and the 20 percent mandatory federal income tax withholding
will apply. 

If you do not elect a form of payment at the time of termination
and your account balance exceeds $3,500, and you have no loan
outstanding, distribution of your account balance will not be made
until TAXCAP Administration receives a signed TAXCAP Payment
Application at Termination of Participant form. 

If you terminate between quarters, you are not eligible for the
company contribution for the quarter in which you terminate unless
your termination is due to retirement (at least age 55 with 15 or
more years of retirement plan service) or death.  If you terminate
on the last business day of the quarter, you are eligible for a
company contribution. 

Any benefit paid from the Plan will be based on the valuation date
immediately following the next HP payday after Fidelity's receipt
of your claim from HP.  See the Glossary for the definition of
"valuation date" for TAXCAP. 

While You Are an HP Employee

Withdrawals from TAXCAP are available after age 59 1/2.  After you
reach age 59 1/2, you may withdraw all or part of your account. 
The minimum amount you can withdraw is $1,000, or if there is less
in the account, the entire value of the account. The withdrawal
will be subject to mandatory 20 percent federal income tax
withholding unless it is directly rolled over.  The withdrawal will
not be subject to the 10 percent early withdrawal tax penalty. 

Hardship withdrawals are available to participants who meet certain
stringent Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requirements. The
following financial needs qualify a participant for a TAXCAP
hardship withdrawal: 

  Unreimbursed medical expenses for you, your spouse or dependents.

  Purchase or construction of your principal residence. 

  Payment of tuition and related educational fees for the next 12
  months of post-secondary education for you, your spouse, your
  children, or dependents. 

  Prevention of eviction from or foreclosure on the mortgage on
  your principal residence. 

  Funeral expenses of a family member.

As a further requirement for applying for a hardship withdrawal,
you must exhaust all other financial resources available to you.
One of these resources is loans available through TAXCAP.  You must
have two TAXCAP loans outstanding prior to applying for a hardship
withdrawal.  If you are not eligible to apply for a loan, then you
may apply for a hardship withdrawal directly. 

As a condition of receiving your hardship withdrawal, the IRS
requires that you will be unable to contribute to TAXCAP or the HP
Stock Purchase Plan until the beginning of the quarter following
one year from the date of your hardship withdrawal. The combined
amount of your deferrals into TAXCAP for the year you request a
hardship withdrawal and the next calendar year will be limited to
the next year's maximum employee pre-tax contribution limit as set
by the IRS.  

The minimum withdrawal amount is the lesser of $1,000 or all that
is available.  All withdrawals are subject to mandatory 20 percent
federal income tax withholding unless directly rolled over. 
Hardship withdrawals may be subject to a 10 percent early
withdrawal tax penalty.  There are exceptions to the 10 percent tax
penalty so you should consult your accountant or tax advisor. 
Withdrawals are funded through the sale of your TAXCAP investments
beginning with the most conservative and progressing to the most
aggressive investment fund. 

To request a withdrawal, call Fidelity at 800-457-4015 for your
available withdrawal amount and an application.  Fill out the
required information and mail the application to Hewlett-Packard
Company, TAXCAP Administration, 3000 Hanover Street, Palo Alto,
California, 94304, MS 20CAX.  There is no processing fee for
in-service withdrawals. 

In-service withdrawal requests are processed each Wednesday by
TAXCAP Administration, and checks are issued from Fidelity within
10 business days after the application is received by TAXCAP
Administration. 

                             143

How You Can Borrow From Your Account

While you are an active employee, regular full-time or regular
part-time, you can borrow from your TAXCAP account.  You cannot
borrow from your account if you are on a medical, military, or
personal leave of absence, or receiving benefits under the Income
Protection Plan. 

The maximum amount available is 50 percent of the account balance
(including outstanding loan amounts) on the date of valuation less
any loan balance outstanding.  The total of all loans is limited to
$50,000 minus the highest loan balance outstanding during the prior
12-month period.  Loans are subject to a $1,000 minimum.  No more
than two loans can be outstanding at any time. 

This chart shows the maximum outstanding loan amount you may have
at any one time.

To initiate a loan, call Fidelity at 800-457-4015.  Once you have
provided the proper security information, the Fidelity
representative will guide you through the steps of the loan process
and inform you of any restrictions that may apply (maximum
allowable loan amount, etc.).  The Fidelity representative will
complete the loan application over the phone once you have accepted
the terms of the loan.  The loan application includes the
confirmation number for the loan, and the terms of the loan
including the principal amount, interest rate, payback period for
the loan, and payroll deduction amount. 

Your eligibility for a loan is based on your account value as of
the date you call Fidelity to request a loan application. 

Your loan application is dated by the Fidelity phone representative
and becomes void on the 30th day after the date of your request. 

You will receive the application from Fidelity via U.S. mail.  If
you find the application to be in order, you must sign it, keep a
copy for yourself and forward the remaining copy to TAXCAP
Administration in Corporate Offices.  Your application must be
accompanied by a $35 processing fee, payable to Hewlett-Packard
Company.  The processing fee is non-refundable.  If you do not
agree with the personalized loan information stated on the
application, you can call Fidelity to change this information and
receive a new application.

Loan applications are processed each Wednesday by TAXCAP
Administration, and checks are issued from Fidelity within 10
business days after the application is received by TAXCAP
Administration.  Any loan applications received by TAXCAP after the
expiration date will not be processed.

How Your Loan Is Funded

Your loan will be funded through the sale of your TAXCAP
investments beginning with the most conservative fund and
progressing to the most aggressive fund. 

For Example: 

You have a total of $30,000 in TAXCAP investments.  You have
$10,000 in the Retirement Money Market Portfolio, $10,000 in the
Intermediate Bond Fund and $10,000 in the Magellan Fund.  If you
want to take a $15,000 loan, $10,000 will come from your Retirement
Money Market Portfolio and the remaining $5,000 will come from your
Intermediate Bond Fund. 

How You Repay Your Loan

You repay your loan through automatic, irrevocable payroll
deductions.  You can choose to repay the loan over one two, three,
or four years.  TAXCAP loan interest rates are determined by the
prime rate on the last business day of the month preceding the loan
request plus 1/2 percent.  The loan interest rate may change
monthly.  TAXCAP loans are amortized on a semi-monthly basis. 
Amounts repaid are reinvested semi-monthly based on your investment
elections (mixes) in effect at the time of reinvestment. 

Payroll deductions for your loan will begin approximately two weeks
after receipt of the loan distribution check.  Repayments,
including interest paid, will be taken out of your paycheck each
payday.  Payroll deductions CANNOT be discontinued until the loan
is fully repaid. 

                             144

Loan Prepayment

If you wish, you may prepay the full amount of the outstanding
principal and accrued interest without penalty.  You cannot make
partial prepayments except in the case of certain personal leaves
of absence. 

To initiate a prepayment, you can call Fidelity at 800-457-4015.
Once you have provided the proper security information, the
Fidelity representative will guide you through the steps of the
prepayment process.  The Fidelity representative will provide you
with the prepayment amount and the terms of the prepayment
transaction. 

If you want to have your prepayment effective for the end of the
current month you must call Fidelity on or before the second payday
of the month.  If the request is made after this date, Fidelity
will inform you that the prepayment will be effective for the next
month. 

Once you have agreed to the terms of the prepayment, Fidelity will
process your loan prepayment application and send it to you.  Upon
receipt of the application, you must sign it, attach a money order,
cashier's check or HP Credit Union teller check - payable to
Fidelity Investments - and send both the application and check to
TAXCAP Administration in Corporate Offices. 

In order to have your prepayment effective in the current month,
TAXCAP Administration must receive the completed application and
check from you on or before the last business day of the month. 
If your application is received after this time, the prepayment
application is void.  All prepayment applications received by
TAXCAP Administration by the last business day of the month will
be forwarded to Fidelity.  Fidelity will process your loan
prepayment on the following payday.  The prepayment will be
invested according to your investment elections (mixes) on file at
the time of repayment to the TAXCAP trust fund.  The next statement
that you receive will reflect that your loan is paid in full. 

If you are transferring to a foreign entity or to HP's Flex Force
as an On-Contract or On-Call employee, you must prepay your loan in
full prior to transfer. 

Loan Repayment Due to Leave of Absence

IRS restrictions regarding loans prohibit the employee from
defaulting on a loan.  The loan MUST be repaid per the terms of the
loan.  If you are going on a medical leave of absence and you have
an outstanding TAXCAP loan, you do not have to prepay your loan
unless you so desire.  However, if you are taking a military or
personal (this includes parental) leave, you must prepay ALL
anticipated missed payments during your leave.  In some instances,
you may be required to prepay the entire loan before being granted
time off for a leave. 

The loan repayment procedure for leaves is as follows.  You and
your personnel representative will determine the amount of the
repayment.  Personnel will forward your money order, cashier's
check, or HP Credit Union teller check - made payable to Fidelity
Investments - to TAXCAP Administration for review and processing on
the last business day of each pay period.  Fidelity will process
the repayment on the payday following receipt.  Your repayments
will either be entered as individual payments (if payroll
deductions were just interrupted and you will be returning from
leave) or as a lump sum (if the amount is a full repayment).  If
applicable, you will resume payroll deductions upon returning to
work.  Repayments will be invested according to your investment
election (mixes) on file at the time of repayment to the TAXCAP
trust fund. 

Outstanding Loan at Termination

If you leave HP while a loan is outstanding, the amount you owe
will be subtracted from the payout of your TAXCAP account.  For
income tax purposes, HP will report the amount you owe on your loan
as part of the total payout you received from the Plan. Therefore,
the entire amount distributed from the Plan - including the
outstanding loan amount and interest due - is taxable income and
subject to 20 percent mandatory federal income tax withholding
unless the part of your account actually distributed from TAXCAP is
subject to a direct rollover.  You can defer taxation on your loan
amount by rolling over this amount to an Individual Retirement
Arrangement (IRA) or another qualified plan within 60 days of the
distribution. 

                             145

Special Rules for Acquisition Employees

If you were formerly employed by Avantek or AOT and had money
transferred from the Avantek or AOT plan to TAXCAP, there are
special TAXCAP rules described in this section that apply to you.
In addition to cash or HP stock distributions upon termination of
employment, you may also receive your distribution in various
annuity forms of benefit - single life, joint and survivor or term
certain annuities.  Former Avantek plan participants may also elect
an in-service withdrawal of any money formerly attributed to a
"rollover account" in the Avantek plan. 

Upon termination of employment, you will need spousal consent to
receive your distribution in any form other than a joint and
survivor annuity.  You will also need spousal consent to receive
in-service withdrawals (at age 59 1/2, for hardship, or for an
Avantek rollover account) as well as for loans. 

The rules regarding beneficiary designations described at page 140
will apply to you.  In addition, if you name someone other than
your spouse as beneficiary before the plan year in which you turn
age 35, you must complete a new form in the plan year you turn age
35 or your spouse will automatically become your beneficiary. 

Special claim forms for former Avantek and AOT plan participants
have been prepared and will be provided to you as needed.  These
forms will reflect the special rules described in this section.

                              termination of employment with HP.


How To Claim Benefits

To receive payment of your TAXCAP account balance, you should
complete and return the TAXCAP Payment Application at Termination
of Participant form to your Personnel Department prior to leaving
HP.  A TAXCAP Payment Application at Termination of Participant
form is available from your Personnel Department. 

If information provided results in incorrect benefit amounts
(whether the information is false, wrong or incomplete), the
benefit amount will be adjusted.  If HP pays a larger benefit
amount than it should have, reasonable steps will be taken to
recover the overpayment. 

If a Qualified Domestic Relations Order has required the Plan to
set aside a portion of your account for payment to your ex-spouse
or children, you will have no rights to that portion of the value
of your account.  If HP determines that a person who is to receive
benefits has become unable to handle them properly, the Company may
make any reasonable arrangement to distribute the benefits on the
person's behalf. 

If a Claim Is Denied

If all or part of a claim is denied, HP will notify the claimant
(you or your beneficiary) in writing, within 90 days after the
claim is received. This notice will explain:

  Why the claim was denied and the specific Plan provisions on
  which the denial is based.

  What additional information is needed and why.

  How to appeal the denial.

  The Plan's review procedure.

If you or your beneficiary do not receive this notice within 90
days after HP receives the claim, you or your beneficiary can
consider the claim denied.  To appeal a claim denial, use the
procedure described in the next section.

                             147


How to Appeal a Denied Claim

You or your beneficiary can appeal a denied claim by submitting a
written request for the appeal to the Plan's Review Panel.  You or
your beneficiary must make the request within 60 days after the
date of the denial.  If you or your beneficiary do not receive a
written denial, you must make the request within 150 days after the
date you first filed the claim. 

Send the written request to: 

Review Panel Under the Hewlett-Packard Company Tax Saving Capital
Accumulation Plan 
3000 Hanover Street, 20CAX 
Palo Alto, CA 94304 

The request must explain why you or your beneficiary believe an
appeal is in order and it must include supporting facts and any
other pertinent information.  HP will let you or your beneficiary
review any pertinent documents which legally can be disclosed in
preparing the request. 

The Review Panel will act upon the request within 60 days after
receiving it.  The Panel may ask for additional time, but a
decision, in writing, will be given within 120 days after the date
of the written request for appeal.  You or your beneficiary will
receive a written explanation of the reasons for the Panel's
decision.  If you or your beneficiary do not receive notice of the
Panel's decision by the end of the 120-day period, you may
consider the appeal denied. 

If the Panel decides that benefits should have been paid, HP will
take whatever action is necessary to pay them as soon as possible
after receiving notice of the Panel's decision. 

You Cannot Assign Benefits

No action can be taken to assign your interest in the Plan or your
account to anyone other than you.  However, a court order that
divides your benefits under this Plan as part of a marital
settlement agreement will be allowed if it is a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order as defined by law and approved by the Company. 


How You Can Make
Rollover Contributions

If you are a newly hired or rehired employee, you may be able to
make a rollover contribution to the Plan before you are otherwise
eligible to enroll.  You may do this as described in this section
if the check is made payable to you.  You may also make a direct
rollover, as prescribed by law, into TAXCAP if the check is made
payable to Fidelity Investments as trustee of the TAXCAP. 

A rollover contribution is a contribution you make to the Plan with
the funds distributed to you from another qualified retirement plan
in order to preserve the tax deferred status of the money.  A
rollover contribution will be allowed if HP decides that all IRS
requirements have been met. 

There are two situations when you may make a rollover contribution
to TAXCAP with a payout from a qualified retirement plan from a
previous employer: 

  You are still in possession of this payout and less than 60 days
  have elapsed since the date the payout was received by you. 

  You originally rolled the payout into a new and separate IRA. 

See your Personnel Department for a rollover contribution form if
you think you are qualified.

                             148

What Circumstances Can Affect Your Benefits

The chart below describes situations which can affect your
benefits.

                              termination distributions are
                              processed semi-monthly provided
                              payment application forms from
                              the beneficiary are received by
                              TAXCAP Administration.


If You Leave and Are Rehired

If you leave HP and are rehired, your eligibility to enroll will be
measured from your original hire date, as if you had never left.  It
does not matter whether you had previously participated in TAXCAP
or not. Therefore, if less than a year has passed since your
original hire date, you become eligible to enroll, after you are on
HP's payroll, on the same entry date on which you would have been
eligible when you were first hired.  If more than a year has passed
since your original hire date and you are already eligible to
enroll when you return, you may enroll immediately or on the first
day of any following month, after you are on HP's payroll. 

Under no circumstances will you receive a payout while on HP's
payroll.  Payment cannot be made until you leave HP or die. 

When Your Participation Is Automatically Suspended

Your participation in TAXCAP is automatically suspended while you
are on:

  a leave of absence without pay

  military leave

  a non-U.S. Hewlett-Packard payroll

  the HP Income Protection Plan after 90 days of disability (The
  suspension will start with the pay period after the 90th day. 
  However, your deferrals before the 90th day will be eligible for
  HP's contributions.)
                              149

During this time, you cannot make deferrals and HP will not make
any contributions to your account.  Your account will continue to
share in the performance of the investment options you have
selected.  Your deferrals will automatically resume when you return
to active employment status. 

How Your Deferrals May Be Limited

The Internal Revenue Code places a limit on the amount you may
defer in TAXCAP during a calendar year.  This limit is $8,728 for
calendar year 1992.  At the time of this printing, the calendar
1993 limit was not yet available.  This limit does not include HP's
contributions. 

In addition, the IRS requires the Plan to pass a special test -
called a non-discrimination test - designed to ensure a fair mix of
deferrals and HP's contributions among employees at all income
levels.  If the Plan does not meet the test, it may be necessary to
reduce the deferral rate of higher-paid participants from time to
time.  If so, the percentage of pay that those participants may
defer may be reduced below 6 percent.  You will be notified if you
are affected by this test. 

TAXCAP Participation Does Not Affect Your Other HP Benefits

Although participating in TAXCAP reduces your taxable pay, it does
not affect your Social Security or other pay-related-HP benefits,
nor will participation affect future pay increases. 

How HP Contributions May Be Limited

The law limits the maximum annual contributions HP can make to your
TAXCAP account when combined with contributions to your Deferred
Profit-Sharing Plan account.  Currently, the maximum amount HP can
contribute to both accounts combined each year - including your
TAXCAP deferrals - cannot exceed $30,000 or 25 percent of
compensation, whichever is less.  This limit generally will apply
only to certain highly paid employees.  The Company will notify
you if this limit applies to you.

TAXCAP deferrals may only be taken from the first $228,860 of
covered compensation (that is, wages or salary, commissions and
shift differential) in the Plan year August 1, 1992 through July
31, 1993.  This limitation will be adjusted for cost of living by
the Secretary of the Treasury. 

Changing or Ending the Plan

Although HP expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, the Company
reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time.  No
amendment of the Plan will reduce the benefits that any participant
has accumulated before the date the amendment is adopted, except as
allowed by law. 

The assets of the trust fund exist to provide benefits under the
Plan and to pay reasonable expenses of administering the Plan.  No
amendment may divert any part of the assets for other purposes. 

If the Plan is terminated, each participant retains a 100 percent
vested non-forfeitable right in his or her Plan accounts.  No part
of the trust funds will revert to HP. 

Under present law, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation does
not insure the adequacy of trusts such as TAXCAP.  Therefore,
benefits under TAXCAP are not insured. 

This Plan is subject to Internal Revenue Service approval under the
Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan and this book are subject to any
changes required by the Internal Revenue Service to meet applicable
federal rules and regulations. 

Income Tax Withholding

A new federal law, The Unemployment Compensation Amendments of
1992, imposes a mandatory 20 percent federal tax withholding rate
on distributions that are not directly and immediately rolled over
to an individual retirement account or individual retirement
annuity (both referred to as IRAs) or to another qualified plan. 

If you request that any portion of your TAXCAP account balance be
paid directly to you, you will have 20 percent of that distribution
withheld as federal income taxes.  In general, this applies to most
distributions, e.g., a distribution upon termination from HP, a
withdrawal at or after age 59 1/2 or a hardship withdrawal - but not
a TAXCAP loan. 

The Company will provide you with a statement entitled TAXCAP
Special Tax Notice Regarding Plan Payments whenever you make a
withdrawal from the Plan.  This statement will give you general
information about taxation of your benefits at the time your
benefits are payable. 

Special rules apply for payments made to individuals who live
outside the U.S. 

How The Plan Is Funded

HP makes its contributions to the Plan's trust fund based on the
amount contributed by Plan participants.  Assets in this trust are
invested according to the directions of the Plan participants
within the guidelines established by the Company. 

All the money in this trust is used exclusively for providing Plan
benefits to eligible employees and beneficiaries and for paying the
cost of administering the Plan.
