           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           ----------------------------------------------------
                                (Unaudited)


1.     In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying
       consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
       (which comprise only normal and recurring accruals) necessary to
       present fairly the financial position as of January 31, 1995 and
       October 31, 1994, and the results of operations and cash flows
       for the three months ended January 31, 1995 and 1994.
       
       The results of operations for the three months ended January
       31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results
       to be expected for the full year.

2.     Net earnings per share are computed based on a method which
       approximates the use of a weighted-average number of common shares
       and common share equivalents outstanding during each period.
       Common share equivalents represent the dilutive effect of outstanding
       stock options.

3.     Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on estimated
       effective annual income tax rates.  The effective income tax rate
       varies from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate primarily
       because of variations in the tax rates on foreign income.

4.     The Company paid interest of $27 million and $30 million during the 
       three months ended January 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  During 
       the same periods, the Company paid income taxes of $258 million and
       $127 million, respectively.  The effect of foreign currency exchange
       rate fluctuations on cash balances held in foreign currencies was not
       material.


5.     On February 15, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
       2-for-1 stock split of the Company's $1 par value common stock in
       the form of a 100% distribution, to be made on or about April 13, 1995
       to shareholders of record on March 24, 1995.  As a result of the 
       split, authorized common shares will double.  The par value of
       the Company's common stock after the stock split will remain $1 and
       capital in excess of par value will be reduced by the par value
       of the additional shares issued. The rights of the holders of these 
       securities were not otherwise modified. Proforma net earnings per share
       and common shares authorized, issued, and outstanding which give effect
       to the stock split have been disclosed in the accompanying consolidated
       condensed financial statements.
       
       In addition, the quarterly dividend on the Company's common stock
       (pre-split) will increase from the current rate of 30 cents per share
       to 40 cents per share, a 33 percent increase.  After the split, the
       adjusted dividend will be 20 cents per share per quarter.  The first
       dividend at the new rate will be paid to shareholders of record on
       June 21, 1995, and is payable on July 12, 1995.

6.     In fiscal 1995, sales of consumable supplies, consisting primarily
       of supplies for the Company's printer products, are reported in the
       consolidated condensed statement of earnings as product revenue.
       In previous years, consumable supplies were reported as service
       revenue.  Prior year amounts have been reclassified to reflect
       this change, which did not affect total revenue, earnings from 
       operations or net earnings.

7.     On November 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
       Accounting Standards No. 115 ("FAS 115"), Accounting for Certain
       Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.  FAS 115 requires certain
       investments in debt and equity securities be classified into one of
       three categories:  held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading.
       The Company's investments are primarily comprised of debt securities
       which are held-to-maturity.  Adoption of this statement did not have
       a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
       operations.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
         Financial Condition (Unaudited).

                HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Net Revenue - Net revenue for the first three months of fiscal 1995 was
$7.3 billion, an increase of 29 percent from the same period of fiscal 1994.
Product sales increased 29 percent and service revenue grew 24 percent
over the corresponding period of fiscal 1994.  Net revenue grew 34 percent
to $4.1 billion internationally and 22 percent to $3.2 billion in the U.S.

The first quarter growth in net revenue was principally due to strong demand
for the Company's personal computer and PC networking products, printer
products and related supplies, workstations, UNIX servers and the related
solutions integration consulting and professional services business,
electronic components products and test and measurement products.

In fiscal 1995, sales of consumable supplies, consisting primarily of supplies
for the Company's printer products, are reported in the consolidated condensed
statement of earnings as product revenue.  In previous years, consumable
supplies were reported as service revenue.  Prior year amounts have been
reclassified to reflect this change, which did not affect total revenue,
earnings from operations or net earnings.

Costs and Expenses - Cost of products sold and services as a percentage of net
revenue was 62.3 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 1995, compared to
61.1 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 1994.   This increase over fiscal
1994 was the result of continued competitive pricing pressures and an ongoing
shift in revenue mix to products with higher cost of sales as a percentage of
net revenue.  Although growth in cost of sales as a percentage of net revenue
has moderated over the last few quarters, the Company believes that competitive
pricing pressures and the shift in revenue mix may continue to put upward
pressure on cost of sales.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue were 24.9 percent for the
first quarter of fiscal 1995, compared to 28.4 percent for the first
quarter of fiscal 1994, a decrease of 3.5 percentage points. This decrease
reflects ongoing efforts to achieve expense structures appropriate for
the Company's changing gross margin.  Operating expenses increased 13 percent
for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 over the corresponding year-ago period.
This increase resulted primarily from increased research and development
expenses which reflects the Company's belief that success in a global
marketplace requires a continuing flow of innovative, high-quality products. 

Interest Income and Other, Net - During the first quarter of fiscal 1995
interest income and other, net increased to $33 million, compared to $3
million in the same period of fiscal 1994.  The increase is largely due to
gains realized on the sale of certain equity investments and interest income
on higher cash balances, as well as interest rate changes during the
respective periods.

Provision for Taxes - The provision for taxes as a percentage of earnings
before taxes was 34.5 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 1995, compared
to 35 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 1994.  The lower tax rate
resulted from changes in the geographic mix of the Company's earnings.

Net Earnings - Net earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 were $602
million, or $2.30 per share on an average of 262 million shares, compared
to net earnings of $368 million, or $1.42 per share on an average of 259
million shares for the first quarter of fiscal 1994.

                                   6


FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources - The Company's financial position remains
strong, with cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $2.8
billion at January 31, 1995, compared with $2.1 billion at January 31, 1994.
Cash flows from operating activities were $930 million during the first
three months of fiscal 1995 compared to $537 million for the corresponding
period of fiscal 1994.  The increase in cash flows from operations for fiscal
1995 was primarily attributable to higher net earnings, lower inventory
growth and changes in other current assets and liabilities.  While the Company
experienced slower inventory growth for the first three months of fiscal 1995
compared to the first three months of fiscal 1994, inventory management
remains an area of focus.

Capital expenditures for the first three months of fiscal 1995 were
$386 million, compared to $306 million for the corresponding period in the
previous year. The changes in investment and borrowing activities during the
first three months of fiscal 1995, when compared to the same period in 1994,
resulted from changes in the Company's liquidity requirements to meet
short-term working capital needs.

Under the Company's ongoing stock repurchase program, shares have been
purchased periodically to meet employee stock plan requirements.  During the
three months ended January 31, 1995, the Company purchased and retired
approximately 1.9 million shares for an aggregate price of $177 million.
During the three months ended January 31, 1994, the Company repurchased and
retired 1.4 million shares for an aggregate price of $109 million.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
- ---------------------------------------

The Company's operations are dependent on the ability of significant
suppliers to deliver integral sub-assemblies and components in time to
meet critical manufacturing schedules.  Demand in the industry as well as
strong growth rates in certain product lines could result in periodic
shortages in component parts, including memory devices, which may 
adversely affect the Company's operating results or moderate growth until
alternate sourcing could be developed.  The Company believes that alternate
suppliers or design solutions could be arranged within a reasonable time so
that material long-term adverse impacts would be unlikely.
