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.
 
  On a worldwide basis, Hewlett-Packard Company, together with its
consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company"), designs, manufactures and services
equipment and systems for measurement, computation and communications. The
Company offers a wide variety of systems and standalone products, including
computer systems, personal computers ("PCs"), printers and other peripheral
products, electronic test equipment and systems, medical electronic equipment,
calculators and other personal information products, solid state components
and instrumentation for chemical analysis. Services such as systems
integration, selective-outsourcing management, consulting, education, product
financing and rentals, as well as customer support and maintenance, are also
an integral part of the Company's offerings. These products and services are
used in industry, business, engineering, science, medicine and education. A
summary of the Company's net revenue as contributed by its major groupings of
similar products and services is found on page 46 of the Company's 1995 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, servers and PCs for use in homes, small workgroups,
larger departments and entire enterprises. Key products include the HP 9000
series, which runs HP-UX, the Company's implementation of the UNIX(R)(/1/)
operating system, and comprises both workstations with powerful computational
and graphics capabilities as well as multiuser computers for both technical
and commercial applications; and the HP Vectra series of IBM-compatible PCs
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 1995, the Company introduced the HP
9000 K-class midrange server, which incorporates the HP-UX 10.0 operating
system, also introduced this year. In addition, the Company brought out the HP
9000 J-class workstations, which feature VISUALIZE graphics and are intended
for use in mechanical- and electronic-design automation. Other new products
included the HP 9000 Model 715/100 XC midrange workstation and the HP 9000
Model 712/100 at the low end. The Company also announced its next-generation
PA-RISC microprocessor, the PA-8000. This year the Company introduced its
first line of PCs specifically intended for home users, the HP Pavilion PC.
The Company continued to enhance its HP Vectra PC series, the HP NetServer
family of PC servers and the HP OmniBook line of mobile PCs.
 
  In the information-storage business, the Company introduced the HP SureStore
CD-Writer 4020i, a compact disc ("CD") player/recorder system that enables PC
users to play from and record information to CDs; and the industry's first
3.5-inch disk drives with 8.7 gigabytes of storage capacity.
 
  Key software introductions in fiscal 1995 included the next generation of HP
JetAdmin network-printer management software, which helps users track and
manage individual print jobs; HP MeasureWare, which allows information
technology managers to understand and monitor the performance of distributed
computing

environments; and the HP OpenView Solution Framework program, which addresses
customer needs for network, system, application and database management.
 
  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 1995, the Company introduced the HP
LaserJet 5L printer, which is designed for the home or small office and which
incorporates a suite of enabling technologies designed to optimize printer
performance regardless of the type of PC, operating system or application
being used. The Company also brought out the HP LaserJet 5Si MX printer, a
network printer that operates at 24 pages per minute and is more than 40
percent faster than its HP predecessor. Other key new products were the HP
DeskJet 660C printer, which replaced the HP DeskJet 560C and which uses newly
designed printheads and ink formulas that yield superior print quality for
black text and color images; the HP DeskJet 1600C printer, which prints color
output at four pages per minute; and the HP DeskJet 850C printer, designed for
the home or small office and able to produce near-photographic-quality color
output on plain paper. Other significant new products introduced this year
include the HP CopyJet color printer-copier, which combines inkjet printing
with digital imaging; the HP DesignJet 750C large-format color plotter; and the
HP ScanJet 4Si scanner, the industry's first network scanner.
 
  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
introductions for measurement systems in fiscal 1995 included the announcement
of technologies designed to synchronize better the timing of digital
communications networks; test sets for Groupe Speciale Mobile ("GSM"), a
global standard for cellular phones; the HP PalmVue system, which links
physicians outside a hospital to data on critical-care patients; and the HP
6890 Series of gas chromatographs, the Company's next-generation systems that
offer an extended range of automation features and built-in diagnostics.
 
  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 strategy 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 light-emitting diodes. The products are sold primarily to
other manufacturers for incorporation into their electronic products but also
are used in many of the Company's products. In fiscal 1995, the Company
introduced the industry's first low-cost serial infrared transceiver, which
makes possible "point and shoot" communication among devices such as laptop
computers and mobile phones. The Company also brought out second-generation
products for GSM.
 
  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,
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
 
general-purpose instruments, computers and computer systems, peripherals and
network products. During fiscal 1995, the Company derived 16 percent of its
net revenue from such services. This figure reflects a fiscal 1995
reclassification of revenue from consumable supplies, consisting primarily of
supplies for the Company's printer products, from the service to the product
category.
 
  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 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 1995 the Company's Standard
Template Library was accepted by a key standards committee as part of the
emerging standard for the C++ programming language.
 
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, health care
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 reseller channels, including dealers and original equipment
manufacturers. The remaining product orders result from the efforts of its own
sales organization selling to end users. Sales operations are supported by
approximately 35,000 individuals, including field service engineers, sales
representatives, service personnel and administrative support staff. In fiscal
1995, a higher proportion of the Company's net revenue than in fiscal 1994 was
generated from products such as personal peripherals, which are primarily sold
through resellers. As more of the Company's products are distributed through
resellers, these resellers become more important to the Company's success.
Some of these companies are thinly capitalized and may be unable to withstand
changes in business conditions. The Company's financial results could be
adversely affected if the financial condition of these resellers substantially
weakens.
 
  International. The Company's total orders originating outside the United
States, as a percentage of total company orders, were approximately 55 percent
in fiscal 1995 and 54 percent in fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1993. 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 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 44 of the Company's
1995 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
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
 
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. To remain competitive, the Company will be required to
continue to develop new products, periodically enhance its existing products
and compete effectively in the manner described above. In particular, the
Company anticipates that it will have to continue to adjust prices to stay
competitive and effectively manage growth with correspondingly reduced gross
margins.
 
  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 that 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.
 
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, electromechanical 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 subassemblies 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. Portions of the Company's
manufacturing operations are dependent on the ability of significant suppliers
to deliver completed products, integral subassemblies and components in time
to meet critical distribution and manufacturing schedules. The failure of
suppliers to deliver these products, subassemblies and components in a timely
manner may adversely affect the Company's operating results until alternate
sourcing could be developed. In addition, the Company periodically experiences
constrained supply of certain component parts in some product lines as a
result of strong demand in those product lines as well as strong demand in the
industry. Continued supply constraints 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
minimized.
 
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. Without the introduction of new products and product
enhancements, the Company's products are likely to become technologically
obsolete, in which case
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
revenues would be materially and adversely affected. There can be no assurance
that such new products, if and when introduced, will receive market
acceptance. 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 increased 14 percent in fiscal
1995 to $2.3 billion compared to $2.0 billion and 15 percent growth in fiscal
1994 and $1.8 billion and 9 percent growth in fiscal 1993. In fiscal 1995,
research and development expenditures were 7.3 percent of net revenue,
compared to 8.1 percent in fiscal 1994 and 8.7 percent in fiscal 1993. The
Company anticipates that it will continue to have significant research and
development expenditures in order to maintain its competitive position with a
continuing flow of innovative, high-quality products.
 
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. The liability for environmental remediation and related
costs is accrued when it is considered probable and the costs can be
estimated. Environmental costs are presently not material to the Company's
operations or financial position.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
  The Company had approximately 102,300 employees worldwide at October 31,
1995.
 
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT
 
  Information regarding the executive officers of the Company is set forth in
Part III below.
 
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
 
  The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 3000 Hanover
Street, Palo Alto, California 94304. As of October 31, 1995, the Company owned
or leased a total of approximately 43.9 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 1995 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 $1.6 billion in fiscal 1995,
$1.3 billion in fiscal 1994 and $1.4 billion in fiscal 1993.
 
  As of October 31, 1995, the Company's marketing operations occupied
approximately 11.4 million square feet, of which 3.9 million square feet are
located within the United States. The Company owns 55% of the space used for
marketing activities and leases the remaining 45%.
 
  The Company's manufacturing plants, research and development facilities and
warehouse and administrative facilities occupied 32.5 million square feet, of
which 23.9 million square feet are located within the United States. The
Company owns 80% of its manufacturing, research and development, warehouse and
administrative space and leases the remaining 20%. 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

          Re: Executive Severance Package
 
          Dear Wim:
 
            This letter will confirm our discussions regarding your
          decision to resign your present position with HP effective
          January 10, 1995 and to commence employment with Xilinx on
          January 11th. In view of your many years of service to the
          company and your significant past contributions, HP is
          prepared to offer you a severance payment of one million ten
          thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine dollars
          ($1,010,789.00), less applicable withholding taxes.
 
            In return for making this severance package available to
          you, we ask that you agree to do the following:
 
            1. Reaffirm your existing obligation as a fiduciary and
               recipient of confidential and proprietary information
               that you will not use or disclose such information
               except as may be permitted by HP or by law, and
 
            2. Execute the attached standard release form which was prepared by
               the Legal Department.
 
            This severance proposal is subject to two contingencies.
          First, because you are an executive officer of HP, payment of
          the severance amount requires the approval of the
          Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. I will ask
          the Committee for such approval on January 18th, 1996. Should
          approval not be granted, your resignation will remain in
          effect as will your obligations concerning confidential and
          proprietary information, however, the remainder of this
          agreement will be null and void. Secondly, in accordance with
          the provisions of federal law relating to age discrimination,
          you have up to twenty-one days from the date of this letter
          in which to accept the terms of this agreement.
 
            You may, however, accept it any time within those twenty-
          one days. Once you have accepted this agreement, you will
          still have an additional seven days in which to revoke your
          acceptance. To revoke, you must send me a written statement
          of revocation. If you do not revoke, the agreement will
          become effective upon the last to occur of approval by the
          Compensation Committee and the expiration of seven calendar
          days following your acceptance. Assuming these contingencies
          are satisfied, payment will be made not later than January
          31, 1996.
 
            I encourage you to take some time to review this severance
          offer and to consult with counsel or advisers of your choice.
          If this proposal is acceptable, please indicate your
          acceptance by signing and returning the duplicate copy of
          this letter and the accompanying legal release.
<PAGE>
 
            Wim, I sincerely appreciate the enormous contributions you
          have made over your twenty-nine years here at HP. I wish you
          the very best as you take on your new responsibilities, and I
          look forward to working with you as a fellow CEO here in the
          valley.
 
          Sincerely,
 
          HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY
 
          /s/ Lewis E. Platt
          Lewis E. Platt
          Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer
 
          Agreed:
 
          /s/ Willem P. Roelandts
          Willem P. Roelandts
 
          Date: January 16, 1996

                                GENERAL RELEASE
 
  This General Release (Agreement) is made and entered into between WILLEM P.
ROELANDTS and HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY (HP), pursuant to his voluntary
resignation and as a condition of his Executive Severance Package. The parties
expressly agree that the making of this Agreement or the offer of a severance
package does not in any way constitute an admission of wrongdoing on the part
of any of them.
 
  1. In exchange for HP's providing the severance benefits described in Lewis
E. Platt's letter attached to this document, Mr. Roelandts, on behalf of
himself, his heirs, estate, executors, administrators, successors and assigns
does fully release, discharge, and agree to hold harmless HP, its officers,
agents, employees, attorneys, subsidiaries, affiliated companies, successors
and assigns from all actions, causes of action, claims, judgments,
obligations, damages, liabilities, costs, or expense of whatsoever kind and
character, including, but not limited to: 1) any claims relating to employment
discrimination on account of race, sex, age, national origin, disability, or
other basis whether or not arising under the Federal Civil Rights Acts, the
Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the
California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973,
any amendments to the foregoing laws, or any other federal, state, county or
municipal law, statute, regulation or order relating to employment
discrimination; 2) any claims relating to, arising out of, or connected with
his employment with HP whether based on contract, tort, or any other legal
theory; and 3) any claims relating to, arising out of, or connected with any
other matter or event occurring prior to the date this Agreement is delivered
to HP.
 
  2. As a voluntarily terminating employee, Mr. Roelandts shall be entitled to
exercise conversion privileges, stock options, and the like to the same extent
as would any other employee who voluntarily terminates employment. Subject to
the terms and conditions of the applicable plans, Mr. Roelandts shall also
retain all pension rights which are vested as of the date of his resignation.
 
  Mr. Roelandts understands and agrees that there shall be no accelerated
vesting of any stock or stock options, and he expressly waives any claim he
may have to performance based restricted stock and any claim to any bonus
which may subsequently be paid for exceeding performance metrics.
 
  3. In entering into this Agreement, the parties have intended that this
Agreement be a full and final settlement of all matters, whether or not
presently disputed, that could have arisen between them. Mr. Roelandts
understands and expressly agrees that this Agreement extends to all claims of
every nature and kind whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected,
past or present and all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code
and/or any similar statute or law of any other jurisdiction are hereby
expressly waived. Such section reads as follows:
 
     Section 1542. A general release does not extend to claims
     which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his
     favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by
     him must have materially affected his settlement with the
     debtor.
 
  4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Roelandts shall retain any right to
indemnity he may otherwise have in any action brought by a third party against
him as an individual arising out of actions undertaken by him in good faith
and within the course and scope of his employment as an officer of HP.
 
  5. Mr. Roelandts acknowledges and reaffirms that as a fiduciary and company
executive, he became privy to confidential and proprietary information which
includes, but is not limited to, business strategies; marketing plans and
customer lists; new product R & D and introduction plans; potential
acquisitions and investments in third parties; process yields, manufacturing
strategies, and costs; patent applications and disclosures; nonpublic
financial data; and other similar information. With respect to all such
information, Mr. Roelandts agrees to retain it in confidence until it becomes
public knowledge or he is given advance written permission by HP to disclose
or use it.
 
  6. The terms of this Agreement together with the letter referred to above
are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement with
respect to such terms as are included therein and may not be contradicted by
evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement. The parties further intend
that this Agreement together
<PAGE>
 
with the letter referred to above constitutes the complete and exclusive
statement of the terms of their agreement and that no extrinsic evidence
whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial or other proceeding, if any,
involving them. No modification shall be effective unless in writing and
signed by both parties hereto.
 
  7. MR. ROELANDTS FURTHER STATES THAT HE HAS READ THIS AGREEMENT, THAT HE HAS
HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT COUNSEL OF HIS CHOICE, THAT HE UNDERSTANDS ITS
FINAL AND BINDING EFFECT, THAT THE ONLY PROMISES MADE TO HIM TO SIGN THIS
AGREEMENT ARE THOSE STATED ABOVE AND THAT HE IS SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT
VOLUNTARILY.
 
  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed in duplicate originals
on the dates indicated below, and shall, unless revoked by Mr. Roelandts as
provided in Mr. Platt's letter, become effective upon approval of the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

Results of Operations

In 1995, strong demand for HP's products and services generated a 26 percent
increase in net revenue, marking the third consecutive year of growth exceeding
23 percent. Net earnings at $2.4 billion have grown at a compounded annual
growth rate of 40 percent over the last three years. Return on assets of 10.0
percent and return on average shareholders' equity of 22.3 percent achieved near
record levels.

HP's orders increased 28 percent over 1994 to $32.5 billion, compared with a 22
percent increase in 1994. Domestic and international orders grew 25 and 31
percent, respectively, reflecting HP's well-balanced position across a variety
of geographic markets. Net revenue grew 22 percent in the U.S. and 30 percent
internationally in 1995 to $14.0 billion and $17.6 billion, respectively,
following increases of 23 percent in both the U.S. and international markets in
1994. The geographic differential in growth rates reflects expanding market
opportunities in the international arena as well as the continuing weakness of
the U.S. dollar for most of 1995.

Net revenue from product sales increased 27 percent compared to 25 percent in
1994. The sustained increases in net revenue primarily reflect the company's
continued success in technological innovation and rapid time to market with its
new products, as well as a healthy global economic environment for the computer
and electronics industries.

Shipments of the company's computer and peripheral products, such as the HP
LaserJet and HP DeskJet families of printers, multiuser computer systems based
on the UNIX operating system, and HP Vectra PCs were all strong in 1995 and
1994. New products drove revenue growth across many businesses. In 1995, the
company successfully replaced the entire family of inkjet printers and continued
to expand its LaserJet printer offerings. HP 9000 K-class midrange servers and 
J-class workstations and the Pentium-based HP Vectras introduced in 1995 had
excellent market acceptance. Sales of consumable supplies for the company's
printer products were also strong. Additionally, electronic test and measurement
products have had great success, particularly in the semiconductor test and
telecommunications markets. Detailed information on orders and net revenue by
groupings of similar products and services is presented on page 46 of this
report.

Services such as systems integration, selective-outsourcing management,
consulting, education, product financing and rentals, as well as customer
support and maintenance, are an integral part of the company's offerings. Net
revenue from services grew 22 percent compared to 13 percent in 1994. During
1995, service and support revenues continued to climb with the increase in the
installed base and the continued success of the professional services businesses
in providing enterprise-wide solutions for our customers. The 1995 growth in net
revenue from services was further aided by the weaker U.S. dollar for most of 
the year.

In 1995, consumable supplies revenue and related costs were reclassified from
the service to the product category. Prior year amounts have been restated to
reflect this change.

Costs, expenses and earnings as a percentage of net revenue were as follows:

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

During 1995, cost of products sold and services as a percentage of net revenue
increased 1.5 percentage points, following a 2.3 percentage point increase in
1994. Price competition continues to impact product revenues resulting in
reduced gross profit margins. During 1995, the strength of the Yen also resulted
in higher prices on certain components purchased from Japanese suppliers.
Additionally, the continued shift in the mix of products sold towards lower-
margin, high-volume product families, and ramp-up costs for continued
introductions of new products, helped drive both the 1995 and 1994 increases.
These factors are likely to continue to put some upward pressure on the cost of
sales ratio. Maximizing efficiencies, including procurement, production and
logistics processes, continues to be a focus in light of these trends.

Research and development expenditures increased 14 percent in 1995 to $2.3
billion, versus $2.0 billion and 15 percent growth in 1994. The ongoing increase
in spending on research and development reflects the company's belief that
success in a global marketplace requires a continuing flow of innovative, high-
quality products. Selling, general and administrative expense grew 14 percent in
1995 compared to 8 percent in 1994. This growth was a result of the strong order
and revenue growth experienced during the year, as well as the weaker dollar in
1995. Both research and development and selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased as a percentage of net revenue in 1995 and 1994, which
reflects the rapid expansion of the net revenue base in both years.

Interest income and other, net was $270 million in 1995 compared to $29 million
in 1994 and $25 million in 1993. The increase in 1995 is primarily due to
increased earnings on cash and other investments, increased income from equity
investees, and gains on sales of real estate and other assets. Interest expense
was $206 million in 1995 compared with $155 million in 1994 and $121 million in
1993, reflecting changes in the level of debt outstanding, as well as interest
rate changes during the respective periods.

The company's effective tax rate was 33 percent in 1995, as compared with 34
percent in 1994 and 1993. A combination of factors led to the decrease from 1994
to 1995, including continuing shifts in the geographical composition of earnings
and resolution of certain issues related to tax returns filed in previous years.

Net earnings increased 52 percent to $2.4 billion in 1995. This compares with a
36 percent increase in 1994 and a 34 percent increase in 1993. As a percentage
of net revenue, net earnings were 7.7 percent in 1995, the highest since 1988,
compared with 6.4 percent in 1994 and 5.8 percent in 1993.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

HP's financial position remains strong, with cash and cash equivalents and 
short-term investments of $2.6 billion at October 31, 1995, compared to $2.5
billion at October 31, 1994, and $1.6 billion at October 31, 1993.

Operating activities generated $1.6 billion in cash in 1995, compared with $2.2
billion and $1.1 billion in 1994 and 1993, respectively. Despite higher net
earnings, cash generated from operations declined in 1995 primarily as a result
of significant growth in receivables and inventories. Receivables as a
percentage of net revenue increased to 21.4 percent at October 31, 1995, from
20.1 percent a year ago, driven by receivable growth of 34 percent on revenue
growth of 26 percent for the year. Inventories as a percentage of net revenue
grew to 19.1 percent from 17.1 percent in the prior year, resulting from a 41
percent increase in inventory levels. The growth during 1995 in receivables and
inventories is a result of the substantial increase in net revenues and orders,
and the continuing need to maintain higher inventory levels to meet increased
demand and customer delivery expectations.

Capital expenditures in 1995 were $1.6 billion compared with $1.3 billion and
$1.4 billion in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase in capital
expenditures in 1995 relates mainly to expansion of production capacity to
accommodate higher volumes and 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 based on various business and financial market factors. Cash flow
from changes in debt structure resulted in net borrowings of $857 million in
1995 compared with $155 million and $966 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
At October 31, 1995, the company had various borrowing arrangements in place
with unused borrowing capacity totaling $3.7 billion.

The company split its stock on a 2-for-1 basis effective March 24, 1995. All
prior share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the retroactive
effect of this split. Shares are repurchased primarily to manage the dilution
created by shares issued under employee stock plans. In 1995, 10.4 million
shares were purchased at an aggregate price of $686 million. In 1994, 8.1
million shares were purchased for $325 million and in 1993, 8.7 million shares
were purchased for $314 million. Additional stock repurchases, based on certain
price and volume criteria, are periodically authorized by the Board of
Directors.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

HP's future operating results are dependent on its ability to develop,
manufacture and market rapidly 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 them in
sufficient volumes at acceptable costs to meet demand.

In addition, portions of the company's manufacturing operations are dependent on
the ability of significant suppliers to deliver completed products, integral
subassemblies and components in time to meet critical distribution and
manufacturing schedules. The company periodically experiences constrained supply
of certain component parts in some product lines, as a result of strong demand
in those product lines as well as strong demand in the industry. Continued
constraints may adversely affect HP's operating results until alternate sourcing
can be developed.

The company continues to expand into third-party distribution channels to
accommodate changing industry practices and customer preferences. As more of
HP's products are distributed through resellers, these resellers become more
important to the company's success. Some of these companies are thinly
capitalized and may be unable to withstand changes in business conditions. HP's
financial results could be adversely affected if the financial condition of
these resellers substantially 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 by
local governments. The liability for environmental remediation and related costs
is accrued when it is considered probable and the costs can be estimated.
Environmental costs are presently not material to HP's operations or financial
position.

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
continuing 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.

                                                                              31

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 product sales is generally recognized at the
time the product is shipped. Service 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 Since fiscal 1994, net earnings per share have been
computed using the 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.

Cash equivalents and short-term investments The company has classified
investments as cash equivalents if the original maturity of such investments is
three months or less. Short-term investments are principally comprised of
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.

Long-term investments At the beginning of fiscal 1995, the company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS No. 115 requires
certain investments in debt and equity securities to 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.

Foreign currency translation 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, property, plant
and equipment, other assets and deferred revenue, which are translated at
historical exchange rates. Revenues and

34
<PAGE>
 
                   Hewlett-Packard Company and Subsidiaries

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. The effect of foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations on cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies was
not material.

Reclassifications In fiscal 1995, sales of consumable supplies, consisting
primarily of supplies for the company's printer products, are reported in the
consolidated statement of earnings as product revenue. In previous years,
consumable supplies were reported as service revenue. Prior year revenue and
cost of sales amounts have been reclassified to reflect this change.

Acquisitions

The company acquired several companies during 1994 and 1993, which 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. At October 31, 1995, the net book value
of goodwill associated with acquisitions was $398 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 against possible exposure from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Such exposure arises from assets and liabilities that are denominated in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar as well as firm foreign currency
commitments. When foreign exchange contracts hedge balance sheet exposure, such
effects are recognized when the exchange rate changes. When the company's
foreign exchange contracts hedge operational exposure, the effects of movements
in exchange rates on these instruments are recognized when the related revenues
and expenses are recognized. Because the impact of movements in 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 such changes. 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 $5.4 billion
and $2.5 billion at October 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. At October 31,
1995, deferred gains and deferred losses on these contracts amounted to $126
million and $82 million, 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. Interest rate differentials under interest rate swap
agreements are recognized over the

                                                                              35

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

life of the contracts as interest expense. The maturities of interest rate swap
agreements match the maturities of the underlying debt. At October 31, 1995 and
1994, 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, trade accounts receivable and certain other off-balance-sheet
financial instruments.

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, and company policy is designed to limit exposure with any
one institution. As part of its cash and risk management processes, the company
performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial
institutions. The company has not sustained material credit losses from these
instruments.

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 substantially, the company's operating results
could be adversely affected. The ten largest distributor receivable balances
collectively represent 13 percent and 10 percent of total accounts and notes
receivable at October 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Credit risk with respect to other 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.

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, long-term
stock investments 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.

The estimated fair value for foreign exchange contracts is primarily based on
quoted market prices for the same or similar instruments, adjusted where
necessary for maturity differences. At October 31, 1995 and 1994, the estimated
fair value of foreign exchange contracts with carrying values of $(15) million
and $(24) million, respectively, amounted to $44 million and $(108) million,
respectively.

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.

Tax benefits of $91 million, $41 million and $35 million associated with the
exercise of employee stock options were allocated to equity in 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.

The company's average U.S. statutory tax rate was 35 percent in 1995 and 1994
and 34.8 percent in 1993. These rates reflect the increase resulting from
legislation enacted in August 1993, which was effective January 1, 1993. The
effect of this increase on the company's deferred tax assets and liabilities was
not material.

The company has not provided for U.S. federal income and foreign withholding
taxes on $3.0 billion of non-U.S. subsidiaries' undistributed earnings as of
October 31, 1995, 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 $168 million, $163 million and $128
million for 1995, 1994 and 1993, 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 1992. The company
believes that adequate accruals have been provided for all years.

Long-term debt consists of bonds placed with various financial institutions with
interest rates ranging from 7.1 percent to 7.9 percent at October 31, 1995. The
aggregate payments for the next five years of long-term debt outstanding at
October 31, 1995 are $274 million in 1998, $156 million in 1999 and $233 million
in 2001 and thereafter.

At October 31, 1995, the Company had various borrowing arrangements in place
with unused borrowing capacity totaling $3.7 billion. These credit arrangements
are generally uncommitted and do not require commitment fees.


Shareholders' Equity

Stock split  The company made a 2-for-1 split of its $1 par value common stock 
in the form of a 100 percent distribution to shareholders of record as of March
24, 1995. As a result of the stock split, authorized, outstanding, and reserved
common shares doubled and capital in excess of par value was reduced by the par
value of the additional common shares issued. The rights of the holders of these
securities were not otherwise modified. All references in the financial
statements to number of shares, per share amounts, stock option data and market
prices of the company's common stock have been restated.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan  Eligible company employees may generally 
contribute up to 10 percent of their base compensation to the quarterly purchase
of company stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Under this plan,
employee contributions are partially matched with company contributions to
purchase HP stock. At October 31, 1995, approximately 86,000 employees were
eligible to participate and approximately 46,000 employees were participants in
the plan.

Incentive compensation plans  The company has four principal stock option plans,
adopted in 1979, 1985, 1990 and 1995. 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 and
1995 Incentive Stock Plans, 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 1995 and
1994, discounted options totaling 768,000 shares and 432,000 shares,
respectively, were granted. 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 also
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.

                                                                              39

</TABLE>

At October 31, 1995, options to purchase 12,340,000 shares were exercisable at
prices ranging from $14 to $44 per share. Shares available for option grants at
October 31, 1995 and 1994 were 37,244,000 and 10,322,000, respectively.
Approximately 49,000 employees were considered eligible to receive stock options
in fiscal 1995. There were approximately 26,000 employees holding options under
one or more of the option plans as of October 31, 1995.

Under the 1985 Incentive Compensation Plan and the 1990 and 1995 Incentive Stock
Plans, 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, 1995 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 1995, 1994
or 1993. At October 31, 1995 and 1994, the company had 1,531,000 and 964,000
shares, respectively, of restricted stock outstanding.

Shares reserved The company has reserved shares for future issuance under the
employee stock plans. At October 31, 1995 and 1994, 80,234,000 and 59,418,000
shares, respectively, were reserved.

Stock repurchase program Under the company's stock repurchase program, shares of
HP common stock are purchased primarily to manage the dilution created by shares
issued under the employee stock plans. In 1995, 1994 and 1993, 10,395,000,
8,056,000 and 8,690,000 shares were repurchased for an aggregate purchase price
of $686 million, $325 million and $314 million, respectively. At October 31,
1995, HP had authorization for an aggregate of $319 million in future
repurchases under this program based on certain price and volume criteria. On
November 17, 1995, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $1 billion in
stock repurchases.

Retirement Plans and Retiree Medical Benefits

Pension and deferred profit-sharing plans Substantially all of the company's
employees are covered under various pension and deferred profit-sharing
retirement plans. Worldwide pension and deferred profit-sharing costs were $233
million in 1995, $196 million in 1994, and $159 million in 1993.

U.S. employees who meet certain minimum eligibility criteria are provided
retirement benefits under the Hewlett-Packard Company Retirement Plan
(Retirement Plan). Defined benefits are based upon an employee's highest aver-
age pay rate and length of service. For eligible service through October 31,
1993, the benefit payable under the Retirement Plan is reduced by any amounts
due to the employee under the company's frozen defined contribution Deferred
Profit-Sharing Plan (DPS). Up through that date, the DPS 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. Amendments made in October
1993 to close the DPS to new participants and discontinue the coordination of
benefits between the two plans for service after October 31, 1993 provided for
immediate 100% vesting of all participant balances in both plans. Additionally,
the amendments resulted in an increase of $69 million in both prior service cost
and the projected benefit obligation for the Retirement Plan in 1993. Higher
Retirement Plan service costs after the amendments are largely offset by the DPS
contributions that are no longer required.

The combined status of the Retirement Plan and DPS follows:

</TABLE> 

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. Eligibility is generally determined
in accordance with local statutory requirements.

Retiree medical plan In addition to providing pension benefits, the company also
sponsors a medical plan that provides defined benefits to U.S. retired
employees. Substantially all of the company's current U.S. employees could
become eligible for these benefits and the existing benefit obligation relates
primarily to those employees. Once participating in the plan, retirees may
choose from managed-care and indemnity options, with their contributions
dependent on options chosen and length of service.

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.
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. At October 31, 1995, 48,000 employees were
participating in TAXCAP out of 56,000 who were eligible.

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, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended October 31, 1995, 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.
