ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.
 
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
 
     Hewlett-Packard Company was incorporated in 1947 under the laws of the
State of California as the successor to a partnership founded in 1939 by William
R. Hewlett and David Packard.
 
     Hewlett-Packard Company, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the
"Company"), is engaged worldwide in the design, manufacture and service of
electronic equipment and systems for measurement, computation and
communications. The Company offers a wide variety of systems and standalone
products, including computer systems and peripheral products, electronic test
equipment and systems, medical electronic equipment, calculators and other
personal information products, solid state components and instrumentation for
chemical analysis. These products are used in industry, business, engineering,
science, education and medicine. A summary of the Company's net revenue as
contributed by its major classes of products and services is found on page 44 of
the Company's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders, which page (excluding order
data) is incorporated herein by reference.
 
     The Company's computers, computer systems, personal information products,
personal peripheral products and other peripherals are used in a variety of
applications, including scientific and engineering computation and analysis,
instrument control and business information management. The Company's core
computing products and technologies include its PA-RISC architecture for systems
and workstations and software infrastructure for open systems. The Company's
general-purpose computers and computer systems include scalable families of
systems and servers for use in small workgroups, larger departments and entire
data centers. Key products include the HP 9000 series, which runs HP-UX, HP's
implementation of the UNIX(R)(1) operating system, and comprises both
workstations with powerful computational and graphics capabilities and multiuser
computers for both technical and commercial applications; and the HP Vectra
series of IBM-compatible PCs (personal computers) for use in business,
engineering, manufacturing and chemical analysis. The Company offers software
programming services, network services, distributed system services and data
management services. Customers of the Company's computers, computer systems and
software infrastructure products include original equipment manufacturers,
dealers, value-added resellers and retailers, as well as end users for a variety
of applications.
 
     In the field of computing during fiscal 1994, the Company expanded its
Corporate Business Systems product line, a family of multiuser systems and
servers that spans products in both the HP 9000 and the HP 3000 series. The HP
9000 Model T500 Corporate Business Server runs the HP-UX operating system, while
the new HP 3000 Corporate Business Systems run the POSIX-compliant MPE/iX
operating system. Also introduced this year were the HP 9000 E-class business
servers, which extend the HP 9000 family of PA-RISC-based workstations and
servers. Other introductions included models 712/60 and 712/80i of the Series
700 family of workstations, which are the first implementations of the Company's
PA-7100LC microprocessor, also introduced this year; the HP ENTRIA family of X
terminals; the HP Vectra VL2 series of PCs and the HP Vectra 486/25VL Model
170MM PC, the Company's first multimedia PC; and a series of HP Vectra PC
servers.
 
     Software introductions included HP OpenView Version 3.3, which includes
more than 30 enhancements to the Company's network- and systems-management
platform; the COBOL SoftBench and COBOL/C SoftBench software-development
environments, which are based on HP SoftBench, the open, integrated CASE
(computer-aided-software-engineering) environment that is a de facto standard;
and HP Odapter, software that allows Oracle7 relational databases to store
objects created by object-oriented applications.

     The Company's peripheral products include a variety of system and desktop
printers, such as the HP LaserJet family; the HP DeskJet family, which is based
on the Company's thermal inkjet technology; a family of graphic plotters and
page scanners; video display terminals; disk (magnetic and optical) and tape
drives and related autochangers. In fiscal 1994 the Company introduced the HP
LaserJet 4 Plus and 4M Plus printers, 12-page-per-minute printers that replaced
the LaserJet 4 and 4M printers and are 30 to 40 percent faster than their
predecessors; the HP LaserJet 4V, HP's fastest desktop laser printer; the HP
Color LaserJet printer, which gives corporate computer users the print quality,
speed and ease of use of a LaserJet at an affordable price; the HP DeskJet 560C
and DeskWriter 560C for Macintosh computers, which use an HP-developed
technology called ColorSmart for easier and more vivid full-color printing; the
HP DeskJet 540 and HP DeskWriter 540 printers, the lowest-priced DeskJet
printers that are targeted at the rapidly growing home market; the DeskJet 320
printer for notebook PCs and the DeskWriter 320 printer for Macintosh
PowerBooks; the HP ScanJet IIcx scanner, which brought desktop scanning to a
wide range of business communicators; and the HP OfficeJet printer-fax-copier,
the first product from HP to perform all three functions.
 
     The Company also produces measurement systems for use in electronics,
medicine and analytical chemistry. Test and measurement instruments include
voltmeters and multimeters that measure voltage, current and resistance;
counters that measure the frequency of an electrical signal; oscilloscopes and
logic analyzers that measure electrical changes in relation to time; signal
generators that provide the electrical stimulus for the testing of systems and
components; specialized communications and semiconductor test equipment; and
atomic frequency standards, which are used in accurate time-interval and
timekeeping applications. Instruments for medical applications include
continuous monitoring systems for critical-care patients, medical
data-management systems, fetal monitors, electrocardiographs, cardiac
catheterization laboratory systems, blood gas measuring instruments, diagnostic
ultrasonic imaging systems and cardiac defibrillators. Instruments for
analytical applications include gas and liquid chromatographs, mass
spectrometers, laboratory data systems and spectrophotometers. Key product
introductions for measurement systems in fiscal 1994 included the first test set
to measure waveform quality for CDMA, a new U.S. standard for digital-cellular
communications; the HP AcceSS7 Monitoring System, an open-systems platform that
monitors Signaling System #7 networks, which are the distributed computers and
databases that control call routing in telecommunications; the HP CareVue
Clinical Event Review, a workstation-based system that enables clinicians to
specify and retrieve patient data more quickly than before; and a liquid
chromatograph/mass spectrometer that helps bioscientists analyze biomolecules.
 
     The Company continues to demonstrate its ability to combine measurement and
computation. The Company's Unified Laboratory strategy is designed to improve a
user's productivity by allowing computers in the analytical laboratory to serve
as adjuncts to analytical instrumentation while broadening the user's ability to
communicate with other parts of the organization. The Office of the Chemist is a
subset of the Unified Laboratory in which an office-based workstation or PC,
with business software such as spreadsheets, is combined with analytical
equipment and data to allow a chemist to work more efficiently. The Company's
Clinical Information System combines patient data from monitoring instruments
with other information to assist nurses in providing health care.
 
     The Company also manufactures electronic component products consisting
principally of microwave semiconductor, fiber-optic and optoelectronic devices,
including LEDs (light-emitting diodes). The products primarily are sold to other
manufacturers for incorporation into their electronic products but also are used
in many of the Company's products. In fiscal 1994, the Company introduced
transistors, integrated circuits and surface-mount diodes for radio-frequency
communications, a transmitter/receiver for infrared communications, and
red-orange LEDs that are the world's brightest.
 
     The Company provides service for its equipment, systems and peripherals,
including support and maintenance services, parts and supplies for design and
manufacturing systems, office and information systems, general-purpose
instruments, computers and computer systems, peripherals and network products.
During fiscal 1994, the Company derived 23 percent of its net revenue from such
services.
 
     The Company strives, in all its businesses, to promote industry standards
that recognize customer preferences for open systems in which different vendors'
products can work together. The Company often
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   4
 
bases its product innovations on such standards and seeks to make its technology
innovations into industry standards through licensing to other companies and
standards-setting groups. For example, during fiscal 1994 the Company's Demand
Priority protocol specification for 100VG-AnyLAN, a technology for high-speed
local area networks, was accepted by a working group of the IEEE, a key
standard-setting body.
 
MARKETING
 
     Customers.  The Company has approximately 600 sales and support offices and
distributorships in more than 120 countries. Sales are made to industrial and
commercial customers, educational and scientific institutions, healthcare
providers (including individual doctors, hospitals, clinics and research
laboratories) and, in the case of its calculators and other personal information
products, computer peripherals and PCs, to individuals for personal use.
 
     Sales Organization.  More than half of the Company's orders are derived
through value-added resale channels, including dealers and original equipment
manufacturers. The remaining product orders result from the efforts of its own
sales organization selling to end users. In fiscal 1994 a higher portion of the
Company's net revenue than in fiscal 1993 was generated from products such as
personal peripherals, which are primarily sold through dealers and other
value-added resellers. Sales operations are supported by approximately 34,000
individuals, including field service engineers, sales representatives, service
personnel and administrative support staff.
 
     International.  The Company's total orders originating outside of the
United States as a percentage of total Company orders were approximately 54
percent in fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1993, and 55 percent in fiscal 1992. The
majority of these international orders were from customers other than foreign
governments. Approximately two-thirds of the Company's international orders in
each of the last three fiscal years were derived from Europe, with most of the
balance coming from Japan, other countries in Asia Pacific, Latin America and
Canada.
 
     Most of the Company's sales in international markets are made by foreign
sales subsidiaries. In countries with low sales volume, sales are made through
various representative and distributorship arrangements. Certain sales in
international markets, however, are made directly by the parent Company from the
United States.
 
     The Company's international business is subject to risks customarily
encountered in foreign operations, including fluctuations in monetary exchange
rates, import and export controls and the economic, political and regulatory
policies of foreign governments. The Company believes that its international
diversification provides stability to its worldwide operations and reduces the
impact on the Company of adverse economic changes in any single country. A
summary of the Company's net revenue, earnings from operations and identifiable
assets by geographic area is found on page 42 of the Company's 1994 Annual
Report to Shareholders, which page is incorporated herein by reference.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The Company encounters aggressive competition in all areas of its business
activity. Its competitors are numerous, ranging from some of the world's largest
corporations to many relatively small and highly specialized firms. The Company
competes primarily on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality,
reliability, distribution and customer service and support. The Company's
reputation, the ease of use of its products and the ready availability of
customer training are also important competitive factors.
 
     The computer market is characterized by vigorous competition among major
corporations with long-established positions and a large number of new and
rapidly growing firms. While the absence of reliable statistics makes it
difficult to state the Company's relative position, the Company believes that it
is the second-largest U.S.-based manufacturer of general-purpose computers,
personal peripherals such as desktop printers, and calculators and other
personal information products, all for industrial, scientific and business
applications. The markets for test and measurement instruments are influenced by
specialized manufacturers which often have great strength in narrow market
segments. In general, however, the Company believes that it is one of the
principal suppliers in these markets.
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   5
 
BACKLOG
 
     The Company believes that backlog is not a meaningful indicator of future
business prospects due to the volume of products delivered from shelf
inventories, the shortening of product delivery schedules, and the portion of
revenue related to its service and support business. Therefore, the Company
believes that backlog information is not material to an understanding of its
business.
 
PATENTS
 
     The Company's general policy has been to seek patent protection for those
inventions and improvements likely to be incorporated into its products or to
give the Company a competitive advantage. While the Company believes that its
patents and applications have value, in general no single patent is in itself
essential. The Company believes that its technological position depends
primarily on the technical competence and creative ability of its research and
development personnel.
 
MATERIALS
 
     The Company's manufacturing operations employ a wide variety of
semiconductors, electro-mechanical components and assemblies, and raw materials
such as plastic resins and sheet metal. The Company believes that the materials
and supplies necessary for its manufacturing operations are presently available
in the quantities required. The Company purchases materials, supplies and
product sub-assemblies from a substantial number of vendors. For many of its
products, the Company has existing alternate sources of supply, or such sources
are readily available. A portion of the Company's manufacturing operations is
dependent on the ability of significant suppliers to deliver integral
sub-assemblies and components in time to meet critical manufacturing schedules.
The failure of suppliers to deliver these sub-assemblies and components in a
timely manner may adversely affect the Company's operating results 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.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
     The process of developing new high technology products is complex and
uncertain and requires innovative designs that anticipate customer needs and
technological trends. After the products are developed, the Company must quickly
manufacture products in sufficient volumes at acceptable costs to meet demand.
 
     Expenditures for research and development amounted to $2.0 billion in
fiscal 1994, $1.8 billion in fiscal 1993 and $1.6 billion in fiscal 1992. In
fiscal 1994, research and development expenditures were 8.1 percent of net
revenue.
 
ENVIRONMENT
 
     The operations of the Company involve the use of substances regulated under
various federal, state and international laws governing the environment. It is
the Company's policy to apply strict standards for environmental protection to
sites inside and outside the U.S., even if not subject to regulations imposed by
local governments. Liability for environmental remediation is accrued when it is
considered probable and costs can be reasonably estimated. Environmental
expenditures are presently not material to HP's operations or financial
position.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
     The Company had approximately 98,400 employees worldwide at October 31,
1994.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES.
 
     The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 3000 Hanover
Street, Palo Alto, California 94304. As of October 31, 1994, the Company owned
or leased a total of approximately 42.7 million square feet of space worldwide.
The Company believes that its existing properties are in good condition and
suitable for the conduct of its business.
 
     The Company's plants are equipped with machinery, most of which is owned by
the Company and is in part developed by it to meet the special requirements for
manufacturing precision electronic instruments and systems. At the end of fiscal
year 1994 the Company was productively utilizing the vast majority of the space
in its facilities, while actively disposing of space determined to be excess.
 
     The Company anticipates that most of the capital necessary for expansion
will continue to be obtained from internally generated funds. Investment in new
property, plant and equipment amounted to $1.3 billion in fiscal 1994, $1.4
billion in fiscal 1993 and $1.0 billion in fiscal 1992.
 
     As of October 31, 1994, the Company's marketing operations occupied
approximately 10.4 million square feet, of which 3.5 million square feet are
located within the United States. The Company owns 53% of the space used for
marketing activities and leases the remaining 47%.
 
     The Company's manufacturing plants, research and development facilities and
warehouse and administrative facilities occupied 32.3 million square feet, of
which 22.6 million square feet are located within the United States. The Company
owns 74% of its manufacturing, research and development, warehouse and
administrative space and leases the remaining 26%. None of the property owned by
the Company is held subject to any major encumbrances.
 
     The locations of the Company's geographic operations are listed on the

Results of Operations
In 1994, HP again experienced excellent overall market acceptance of new
products and achieved 23 percent growth in net revenue, despite some continuing
economic weakness around the world. Moreover, favorable impacts from ongoing
efforts to improve operating expense structures offset rising costs of sales,
resulting in increased earnings from operations of 36 percent over 1993.

[GRAPH OMITTED]

HP's orders increased 22 percent over 1993, totaling $25.4 billion, compared
with a 24 percent increase in 1993. Domestic and international orders grew 24
and 21 percent, respectively, reflecting HP's well-balanced position across a
variety of geographic markets. In 1994, net revenue grew 23 percent in both the
U.S. and internationally to $11.5 billion and $13.5 billion, respectively,
following increases of 30 percent in the U.S. and 19 percent internationally in
1993. The U.S. dollar weakened during 1994 relative to most major foreign
currencies, which had a minor impact on HP's international net revenue.

Net revenue from equipment sales increased 24 percent in 1994 compared with 26
percent in 1993. Demand for the company's peripheral products, such as the HP
LaserJet and HP DeskJet families of printers, continued to be excellent in
1994, which included the shipment of the 30 millionth HP printer. Orders for
semiconductor- and communications-test equipment, multi-user computer systems
based on the UNIX operating system and Vectra PCs also continued to be
excellent in 1994. Sales of customer support services and consumable supplies
for the company's printer products were strong and fueled the growth in
services revenue of 19 percent in 1994 and 18 percent in 1993. Detailed
information on orders and net revenue by groupings of similar products and
services is presented on page 44 of this report.

New products introduced during the year demonstrated HP's commitment to
innovative technology and continuous product improvements. Many new products
received strong acceptance in the marketplace during 1994 such as those from
the HP LaserJet and HP DeskJet printer families, HP 9000 Series workstations
and multiuser systems, and HP Vectra PCs.

Financial Review

- ------
During 1994, cost of equipment sold and services as a percentage of net revenue
increased 2.3 percentage points following a 3.9 percentage point increase in
1993. Pricing and other competitive pressures continued in 1994 and had a
significant impact on cost of sales as a percentage of net revenue. Changes in
the mix of products sold also continued to put upward pressure on cost of sales
as a percentage of net revenue. In 1994, a higher portion of the company's net
revenue was generated by sales through dealers and other indirect channels.
Products, such as peripherals and PCs, sold through these channels generally
carry higher discounts, thereby increasing cost of sales as a percentage of net
revenue. These factors are likely to continue to put some upward pressure on
the cost of sales ratio. Although the company again experienced upward
pressures on its cost of sales, the growth in cost of sales as a percentage of
net revenue slowed in 1994, partly as a result of HP's ongoing efforts to
improve its cost structure by maximizing manufacturing efficiencies.

[GRAPH OMITTED]

Research and development expenditures increased 15 percent to $2.0 billion in
1994 versus $1.8 billion in 1993. The increased investment in research and
development reflects the company's ongoing belief that success in a global
marketplace requires a continuing flow of innovative, high-quality products.
Research and development expenditures as a percentage of net revenue decreased
.6 percentage points in 1994 compared with a 1.2 percentage point decrease in
1993.


Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net revenue
decreased 2.7 percentage points to 19.7 percent of net revenue during 1994,
following a 3.3 percentage point decrease in 1993. The decrease in selling,
general and administrative expense as a percentage of net revenue is
<PAGE>   5
attributable primarily to the company's ongoing cost control initiatives and
continuing efforts to manage employment levels.

Interest income and other, net was $29 million in 1994 compared to $25 million
in 1993 and $17 million in 1992. Interest expense was $155 million in 1994
compared to $121 million in 1993 and $96 million in 1992. The increases in
interest expense reflect increases in the level of debt outstanding, as well as
interest rate changes during the respective periods.

[GRAPH OMITTED]

The company's effective tax rate was 34 percent in both 1994 and 1993, up
slightly from 33.5 percent in 1992. A combination of factors led to the
increase from 1992 to 1993, including an increase in the U.S. corporate federal
income tax rate, changes in the geographic mix of the company's earnings, and
resolution of certain issues related to tax returns filed in prior years.

Net earnings increased 36 percent to $1.6 billion in 1994. This compares to a
34 percent increase in 1993 and a 17 percent increase in 1992, excluding the
1992 one-time charge of $332 million after income taxes for a change in
accounting for retiree medical benefits. As a percentage of net revenue, net
earnings were 6.4 percent in 1994 compared with 5.8 percent in 1993 and 5.4
percent in 1992, excluding the accounting change.

In fiscal 1994, net earnings per share were computed based on a method which
approximates the use of a weighted-average number of common shares and common
share equivalents outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents
represent the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options. In previous
periods, common share equivalents were not included as their effect was
considered immaterial. The inclusion of these equivalents in fiscal 1994
reduced earnings per share by 15 cents. Average shares outstanding used to
compute earnings per share were 260.4 million in 1994, 253.2 million in 1993
and 252.6 million in 1992. The increases in shares outstanding resulted from
the inclusion, in 1994, of common share equivalents, and issuances of common
stock to employees under various stock plans, partially offset by stock
acquired by the company under its ongoing share repurchase program.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
<PAGE>   6
HP's financial position remains strong, with cash and cash equivalents and
short-term investments of $2.5 billion at October 31, 1994, compared with $1.6
billion at October 31, 1993, and $1.0 billion at October 31, 1992.

Operating activities generated $2.2 billion in cash in 1994, compared with $1.1
billion and $1.3 billion in 1993 and 1992, respectively. The increase in cash
generated from operations in 1994 compared to 1993 is primarily attributable to
higher net earnings before depreciation and amortization and slower inventory
growth. Inventory as a percentage of net revenue declined from 18.2 percent in
1993 to 17.1 percent in 1994.  The lower growth rate is attributable to the
company's effort to enhance processes, with a focus on improving inventory
turnover, to accommodate business changes such as shorter product life cycles
and rapid product ramp-ups.

1994 capital expenditures were $1.3 billion compared to $1.4 billion and $1.0
billion in 1993 and 1992, respectively.  The capital expenditures in 1994
relate mainly to expansion of production capacity and to accomodate the
introduction of new products.

The company invests excess cash in short-term and long-term investments
depending on its projected cash needs for operations, capital expenditures and
other business purposes. The company from time to time supplements its
internally generated cash flow with a combination of short-term and long-term
borrowings as required by various business and financial market factors.

[BAR CHART OMITTED]

Cash flow from changes in the company's debt structure resulted in net
borrowings of $155 million in 1994 compared with net borrowings of $966 million
and $416 million in 1993 and 1992, respectively. At October 31, 1994, the
company had unused credit lines and authorized but unissued commercial paper
totaling $3.1 billion.

Shares are repurchased periodically to meet employee stock plan requirements.
Approximately 4.0 million shares were purchased in 1994 at an aggregate price
of approximately $325 million. In 1993, approximately 4.3 million shares were
purchased at an aggregate price of approximately $314 million; and in 1992,
approximately 7.7 million shares were purchased at an aggregate price of
approximately $530 million. Additional stock repurchases, based on certain
price and volume criteria, are authorized by the Board of Directors. At October
31, 1994, the remaining authorization was $255 million.

Financial Review

Factors That May Affect Future Results
The company's future operating results are dependent on the company's ability
to rapidly develop, manufacture and market technologically innovative products
that meet customers' needs. Inherent in this process are a number of risks that
the company must successfully manage in order to achieve favorable operating
results.

The process of developing new high technology products is complex and uncertain
and requires innovative designs that anticipate customer needs and
technological trends. After the products are developed, the company must
quickly manufacture products in sufficient volumes at acceptable costs to meet
demand.

[GRAPH OMITTED]

In addition, a portion of the company's manufacturing operations is dependent
on the ability of significant suppliers to deliver integral sub-assemblies and
components in time to meet critical manufacturing schedules. The failure of
suppliers to deliver these sub-assemblies and components in a timely manner may
adversely affect the company's operating results 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.

Changing industry practices and customer preferences require the company to
expand into new distribution channels. As more of HP's products are distributed
through dealer and other indirect channels, these channels become more critical
to the company's success. Financial results could be adversely affected in the
event that the financial condition of these sellers weakens.

The operations of the company involve the use of substances regulated under
various federal, state and international laws governing the environment. It is
the company's policy to apply strict standards for environmental protection to
sites inside and outside the U.S., even if not subject to regulations imposed
 
<PAGE>   9
by local governments. Liability for environmental remediation is
accrued when it is considered probable and costs can be estimated.
Environmental expenditures are presently not material to HP's operations or
financial position.

[GRAPH OMITTED]

A portion of the company's research and development activities, its corporate
headquarters and other critical business operations are located near major
earthquake faults. The ultimate impact on the company, significant suppliers
and the general infrastructure is unknown, but operating results could be
materially affected in the event of a major earthquake. The company is
predominantly self-insured for losses and interruptions caused by earthquakes.

Although HP believes that it has the product offerings and resources needed for
continued success, future revenue and margin trends cannot be reliably
predicted and may cause the company to adjust its operations. Factors external
to the company can result in volatility of the company's common stock price.
Because of the foregoing factors, recent trends should not be considered
reliable indicators of future stock prices or financial results.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies                       
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hewlett-Packard
Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

Revenue recognition
Revenue from equipment sales is generally recognized at the time the equipment
is shipped. Services revenue is recognized over the contractual period or as
services are performed.

Taxes on earnings
Income tax expense is based on pretax financial accounting income. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of
temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
reported amounts.

Net earnings per share
In fiscal 1994, net earnings per share are computed based on a method that
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. In previous
periods, common share equivalents were not included as their effect was
considered immaterial. Shares used in the computation were 260,388,000 in 1994,
253,230,000 in 1993 and 252,600,000 in 1992.

Short-term investments
Short-term investments are principally comprised of cash invested in
certificates of deposit, temporary money-market instruments and repurchase
agreements and are stated at cost, which approximates market.

Inventories
Inventories are valued at standard costs that approximate actual costs computed
on a first-in, first-out basis, not in excess of market values.

Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Additions, improvements and
major renewals are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are
expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided using accelerated methods,
principally over the following useful lives: buildings and improvements, 15 to
40 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 10 years. Depreciation of leasehold
improvements is provided using the straight-line method over the life of the
lease or the asset, whichever is shorter.

Foreign currency translation
<PAGE>   13
The company uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Foreign currency
assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at end-of-period
exchange rates except for inventories, deposits, and property, plant and
equipment, which are translated at historical exchange rates. Revenues and
expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during each period
except for those expenses related to balance sheet amounts, which are
translated at historical exchange rates. Gains or losses from foreign currency
translation are included in net earnings.

Statement of cash flows
The company has classified investments as cash equivalents if the original
maturity of such investments is three months or less.

The company paid income taxes of $626 million in 1994, $293 million in 1993 and
$459 million in 1992. For the same periods, the company paid interest of $143
million, $109 million and $84 million, respectively. The effect of foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations on cash balances denominated in foreign
currencies was not material.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation.

Acquisitions
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The company acquired several companies during 1994, 1993 and 1992. These 
acquisitions were not significant to the financial position or results of 
operations of the company.

All of these acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method. Under
the purchase method, the results of operations of acquired companies are
included prospectively from the date of acquisition, and the acquisition cost
is allocated to the acquirees' assets and liabilities based upon their fair
market values at the date of the acquisition. The excess of the acquisition
cost over the fair market value of net assets acquired represents goodwill and
amounted to $40 million and $71 million for the 1994 and 1993 acquisitions,
respectively. At the end of fiscal year 1994, the net book value of goodwill
associated with current and prior acquisitions was $528 million and is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 to 10 years.

Financial Instruments                                            
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Off-balance-sheet risk
The company enters into foreign exchange contracts to hedge
<PAGE>   14
against changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Such exposures are a result
of the portion of the company's operations as well as assets and liabilities
that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. When the
company's foreign exchange contracts hedge operational exposure, the effects of
movements in currency exchange rates on these instruments are recognized when
the related revenue and expenses are recognized. When foreign exchange
contracts hedge balance sheet exposure, such effects are recognized when the
exchange rate changes. Because the impact of movements in currency exchange
rates on foreign exchange contracts offsets the related impact on the
underlying items being hedged, these instruments do not subject the company to
risk that would otherwise result from changes in currency exchange rates.
Foreign exchange contracts require the company to exchange foreign currencies
for U.S. dollars and generally mature within six months. The company had
foreign exchange contracts of $2.5 billion and $3.0 billion outstanding at
October 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

The company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to
interest rate changes. The transactions generally involve the exchange of fixed
and floating interest payment obligations without the exchange of the
underlying principal amounts. At October 31, 1994 and 1993, off-balance-sheet
exposures under interest rate swap agreements were not material.

Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and trade
accounts receivable.

The company maintains cash and cash equivalents, short- and long-term
investments and certain other off-balance-sheet financial instruments with
various financial institutions. These financial institutions are located in
many different geographies throughout the world, and company policy is designed
to limit exposure with any one institution. As part of its cash management
process, the company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit
standing of these financial institutions.

Credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is generally diversified
due to the large number of entities comprising the company's customer base and
their dispersion across many different industries and geographies. The company
performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition,
utilizes flooring arrangements with third-party financing companies and
requires collateral, such as letters of credit and bank guarantees, in certain
circumstances.

<PAGE>   15
The company sells a significant portion of its products through third-party
resellers and, as a result, maintains individually significant receivable
balances with major distributors. If the financial condition and operations of
these distributors deteriorate below critical levels, the company's operating
results could be adversely affected. The ten largest distributor receivable
balances collectively represented 10 percent and 9 percent of total accounts
and notes receivable at October 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Fair value of financial instruments
For certain of the company's financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, short-term investments, accounts and notes receivable, notes
payable and short-term borrowings, accounts payable and other accrued
liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short
maturities. Long-term floating rate notes and certificates of deposit are
carried at amounts that approximate fair value. The estimated fair value of
long-term debt is primarily based on quoted market prices, as well as borrowing
rates currently available to the company for bank loans with similar terms and
maturities. This fair value, when adjusted for unrealized gains and losses on
related interest rate swap agreements, approximates the carrying amount of
long-term debt. Consequently, such instruments are not included in the
following table, which provides information regarding the estimated fair values
of other financial instruments, both on and off-balance-sheet, at October 31:

The estimated fair value of long-term stock investments is based on quoted
market prices. For foreign exchange contracts, including options, the estimated
fair value is primarily based on quoted market prices for the same or similar
instruments, adjusted where necessary for maturity differences.

The estimated fair values may not be representative of actual values of the
financial instruments that could have been realized as of year end or that will
be realized in the future.

No valuation allowance was necessary in 1994 and 1993.

Tax benefits of $41 million, $35 million and $28 million associated with the
exercise of employee stock options were allocated to equity in 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively. The company's average U.S. statutory tax rate increased to
35 percent in 1994 from 34.8 percent in 1993 and 34.0 percent in 1992 as a
result of legislation enacted in August 1993 which was effective January 1,

The company has not provided for U.S. federal income and foreign withholding
taxes on $2.2 billion of non-U.S. subsidiaries' undistributed earnings as of
October 31, 1994, because such earnings are intended to be reinvested
indefinitely. If these earnings were distributed, foreign tax credits should
become available under current law to reduce or eliminate the resulting U.S.
income tax liability. Where excess cash has accumulated in the company's
non-U.S. subsidiaries and it is advantageous for tax or foreign exchange
reasons, subsidiary earnings are remitted.

As a result of certain employment and capital investment actions undertaken by
the company, income from manufacturing activities in certain countries is
subject to reduced tax rates, and in some cases is wholly exempt from taxes,
for years through 2010. The income tax benefits attributable to the tax status
of these subsidiaries are estimated to be $163 million, $128 million and $123
million for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed its examination of the
company's federal income tax returns filed through 1983. The IRS has not
commenced its examination of returns for years subsequent to 1989. The company
believes that adequate accruals have been provided for all years.

The interest rates represent average rates in effect at October 31, 1994 and
1993.

Long-term debt consists of corporate bonds placed with various financial
institutions with interest rates ranging from 4.8 percent to 7.3 percent. The
aggregate payments for the next five years of long-term debt outstanding at
October 31, 1994 are $151 million in 1996, $158 million in 1999, and $238
million in 2000 and thereafter.

At October 31, 1994, the company had unused lines of credit of $1.3 billion and
authorized but unissued commercial paper of about $1.8 billion.  The credit
lines provide for borrowings on a

The company has three principal stock option plans, adopted in 1979, 1985 and
1990. All plans permit options granted to qualify as "Incentive Stock Options"
under the Internal Revenue Code. The exercise price of a stock option is
generally equal to the fair market value of the company's common stock on the
date the option is granted. Under the 1990 Incentive Stock Plan, however, the
Executive Compensation and Stock Option Committee, in certain cases, may choose
to establish a discounted exercise price at no less than 75 percent of fair
market value on the grant date. In 1994 and 1993, discounted options totaling
216,000 shares and 741,000 shares, respectively, were granted at no less than
75 percent of fair market value on the grant date. Stock compensation expense
related to the discounted options was not material. Options generally vest at a
rate of 25 percent per year over a period of four years from the date of grant
except for discounted options, which may not be exercised before the fifth
anniversary of the option grant date, at which time such options become 100
percent vested. The plans provide for the granting of stock appreciation rights
with respect to options granted to officers. The company has not included stock
appreciation rights with options granted to officers since October 31, 1991.

The following table summarizes option activity during 1994:

At October 31, 1994, options to purchase 6,899,000 shares were exercisable at
prices ranging from $27 to $88 per share. Shares available for option grants at
October 31, 1994 and 1993 were 5,161,000 and 7,406,000, respectively.
Approximately 47,000 employees were considered eligible to receive stock
options in fiscal 1994. There were approximately 21,000 employees holding
options under one or more of the option plans as of October 31, 1994.

Under the 1985 Incentive Compensation Plan and the 1990 Incentive Stock Plan,
certain key employees may be granted cash or restricted stock awards. Cash and
restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are subject to
restrictions considered appropriate by the company's Executive Compensation and
Stock Option Committee. The majority of the shares of restricted stock
outstanding at October 31, 1994 are subject to forfeiture if employment
terminates prior to five years from the date of grant. During that period,
ownership of the shares cannot be transferred. Restricted stock has the same
dividend and voting rights as other common stock and is considered to be
currently issued and outstanding. The cost of the awards, determined to be the
fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, is expensed ratably over
the period the restrictions lapse. Such expense was not material in 1994, 1993
or 1992. At October 31, 1994 and 1993, the company had 482,000 and 276,000
shares, respectively, of restricted stock outstanding.

Shares reserved
The company has reserved shares for future issuance under the employee stock
plans. At October 31, 1994 and 1993, 29,709,000 and 35,797,000 shares,
respectively, were reserved.

Stock repurchase program
Under the company's stock repurchase program, shares of HP common stock are
periodically purchased to meet future employee stock plan requirements. In
1994, 1993 and 1992, 4,028,000, 4,345,000 and 7,683,000 shares were repurchased
for an aggregate purchase price of $325 million, $314 million and $530 million,
respectively. At October 31, 1994, HP had authorization for an aggregate of
$255 million in future repurchases under this program based on certain price
and volume criteria.

Retirement Plans and Retiree Medical Benefits                    
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pension and profit-sharing plans
Substantially all of the company's employees are covered under various pension
and deferred profit-sharing retirement plans. The worldwide pension and
deferred profit-sharing costs were $196 million in 1994, $159 million in 1993,
and $138 million in 1992.  
<PAGE>   21
Through October 31, 1993, U.S. employees were provided retirement
benefits under the U.S. Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan (DPS) and the U.S.
Supplemental Pension Plan (SPP). The DPS was a defined contribution plan that
provided the vast majority of retirement benefits. The plan was funded solely
by the company through an annual contribution based upon the company's adjusted
U.S. net income, as defined in the plan agreement. The SPP was a defined
benefit plan that provided for any excess of defined minimum benefits over the
benefits available from the DPS. The amount of the benefit was computed based
upon the employee's highest average pay rate and length of service, reduced by
the annuity value to which the employee was entitled under the DPS. The DPS and
SPP were substantially amended effective October 29, 1993, such that all
accrued pension benefits under these plans were immediately 100 percent vested.
This amendment resulted in SPP prior service cost of $69 million. Additionally,
the accumulated benefit obligation and projected benefit obligation increased
by approximately $3 million and $69 million, respectively.

Effective November 1, 1993, the DPS assets were frozen and the SPP was modified
and renamed the Hewlett-Packard Company Retirement Plan (Retirement Plan).
Benefits under the amended plan continue to be based upon the employee's
highest average pay rate and length of service.  Employees retained benefits
earned through October 31, 1993 under the DPS and SPP with benefits under the
SPP adjusted for future salary increases. Assets of the Retirement Plan,
previously the SPP, and the DPS are held in trust for the sole benefit of
employees.

Employees outside the U.S. generally receive retirement benefits under various
defined benefit and defined contribution plans based upon factors such as years
of service and employee compensation levels.


Retiree medical plan
In addition to providing pension benefits, the company also has a medical plan
that provides defined benefits to U.S. retired employees.  Substantially all of
the company's U.S. employees could become eligible for these benefits.  
<PAGE>   22
The company adopted, effective as of the beginning of the 1992 fiscal year,
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions." SFAS No. 106
requires that postretirement benefits other than pensions be accounted for
using the accrual method. The adoption of SFAS No. 106 in 1992 resulted in a
one-time charge to net earnings of $332 million in the first quarter, after a
reduction for income taxes of $212 million, representing the transition effect
of adopting SFAS No. 106 as of the beginning of 1992.

An increase in the discount rate and changes in benefit elections made by the
plan participants resulted in a decrease in the benefit obligation and an
increase in the unrecognized net experience gain at October 31, 1994.
Additionally, effective January 1, 1994, the plan was amended such that all
benefits for retirees age 65 and over are coordinated with Medicare on a
carve-out basis. This amendment resulted in an unrecognized prior service gain
and a decrease in the benefit obligation.

401(k) Plan
U.S. employees of the company may participate in the Tax Saving Capital
Accumulation Plan (TAXCAP), which was established as a supplemental retirement
program. Under the TAXCAP program, the company matches contributions by
employees up to a maximum of 4 percent of an employee's annual compensation.
Effective November 1, 1993, the maximum combined contribution to the Employee
Stock Purchase Plan and TAXCAP is 17 percent of an employee's annual base 
compensation subject to certain regulatory and plan limitations. Previously, 
the combined contributions to these two plans by an employee could not exceed 
12 percent of an employee's annual base compensation. At October 31, 1994, 
47,000 employees were participating in TAXCAP out of the 56,000 who were 
eligible.

Plan assets consist primarily of listed stocks and bonds for the U.S. plans and
listed stocks, bonds and cash surrender value of life insurance policies for
the non-U.S. plans. It is the company's practice to fund these costs to the
extent they are tax-deductible.

Net revenue from sales to unaffiliated customers is based on the location of
the customer. Interarea transfers are sales among HP affiliates principally
made at market price, less an allowance primarily for subsequent manufacturing
and/or marketing costs. Earnings from operations and identifiable assets are
classified based on the location of the company's facilities.

Identifiable corporate assets, which are net of eliminations, comprise
primarily cash, property, plant and equipment, and other assets, and aggregate
$4,594 million in 1994, $3,148 million in 1993 and $2,889 million in 1992.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Hewlett-Packard Company

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the
related consolidated statements of earnings, of cash flows and of shareholders'
equity present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Hewlett-Packard Company and its subsidiaries at October 31, 1994 and 1993, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended October 31, 1994, 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.

As discussed in the Retirement Plans and Retiree Medical Benefits note to the
financial statements, the company changed its method of accounting for retiree
medical benefits in the year ended October 31, 1992. We concur with this change
in accounting.
