NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      Financial Statements

        In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results
of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.  These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for
the year ended September 30, 1996.  The results of operations for the three
months are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for
the Company's 1997 fiscal year because of seasonal and other factors.


2.      Acquisition of Business

        Effective October 1, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of
Prince Holding Corporation (Prince) for approximately $1.3 billion.  Prince,
based in Holland, Michigan, supplies automotive interior systems and components
including overhead systems and consoles, door panels, floor consoles, visors and
armrests.

        The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.  The excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets, which
approximates $1.1 billion, was recorded as goodwill.  The acquisition was
initially financed with commercial paper.

        The following unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company
give effect to the acquisition of Prince as though the transaction had occurred
on October 1, 1995 (amounts in millions, except per share data).

3.      Discontinued Operations

        On December 6, 1996, the Company and Schmalbach-Lubeca AG/Continental
Can Europe (a member of the VIAG Group) signed a definitive agreement under
which Schmalbach-Lubeca would purchase the Plastic Container division (PCD) of
the Company.  The transaction is expected to be completed during the Company's
1997 second fiscal quarter.

        The results of PCD have been reported separately as discontinued
operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income.  The results of the
discontinued operations do not reflect any interest expense or management fees
allocated by the Company.  Prior quarter consolidated financial statements have
been restated to present PCD as a discontinued operation.

        Revenues of PCD were $142 million and $189 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  These amounts are not included
in sales as reported in the Consolidated Statement of Income.  Net assets of PCD
of $450 million at December 31, 1996 consisted primarily of property, plant and
equipment, inventories, accounts receivable and accounts payable.

4.      Cash Flow

        For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Company
considers all investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.

        Income taxes paid during the three months ended December 31, 1996 and
1995 (net of income tax refunds) totalled approximately $26 million and $12
million, respectively.  Total interest paid on both long-term and short-term
debt was $42 million and $15 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.

5.      Inventories

        Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is
determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for most inventories at
domestic locations.  The cost of other inventories is determined on the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Inventories were comprised of the following:

FORM 10-Q, DECEMBER 31, 1996


6.      Income Taxes

        The provision for income taxes is determined by applying an estimated
annual effective income tax rate to income before income taxes.  The estimated
annual effective income tax rate is based on the most recent annualized forecast
of pretax income, permanent book/tax differences, and tax credits.  It also
includes the effect of any valuation allowance expected to be necessary at the
end of the year.

7.      Earnings Per Share

        Primary earnings per share are computed by dividing net income, after
deducting dividend requirements on the Company's Series D Convertible Preferred
Stock, by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock
equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options.  Fully diluted
earnings are computed by deducting from net income the after-tax compensation
expense which would arise from the assumed conversion of the Series D
Convertible Preferred Stock, which was $1.3 million and $1.4 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Fully diluted
weighted average shares assume the conversion of the Series D Convertible
Preferred Stock, if dilutive, plus the dilutive effect of the stock options.

        The weighted average number of shares used in the computations of
primary and fully diluted earnings per share were as follows:

</TABLE>


8.      Contingencies

        The Company is involved in a number of proceedings and potential
proceedings relating to environmental matters.  Although it is difficult to
estimate the liability of the Company related to these environmental matters,
the Company believes that these matters will not have a materially adverse
effect upon its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

        Additionally, the Company is involved in a number of product liability
and various other suits incident to the operation of its businesses. Insurance
coverages are maintained and estimated costs are recorded for claims and suits
of this nature.  It is management's opinion that none of these will have a
materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

9.      Subsequent Event

        On January 22, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a
two-for-one stock split to be distributed on March 31, 1997 to shareholders of
record on March 7, 1997.  Unaudited pro forma earnings per share, giving effect
to the stock split, is presented on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1996 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

        On December 6, 1996, the Company and Schmalbach-Lubeca/AG Continental
Can (a member of the VIAG Group) signed a definitive agreement under which
Schmalbach-Lubeca would purchase the Plastic Container division (PCD) of the
Company.  The transaction is expected to be completed during the Company's 1997
second fiscal quarter.

        Operating results, net assets and cash flows of PCD have been segregated
as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.  Net (loss)earnings of PCD were ($1.8) million (($.04) per share on
a fully diluted basis) and $1.7 million ($.04 per share on a fully diluted
basis) on sales of $142 million and $189 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

CONTINUING OPERATIONS

        Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 rose 38% to
$2,761 million, up from $1,997 million for the prior year quarter.

        Automotive segment sales for the first quarter of $2,030 million were
49% higher than the prior year's $1,364 million.  Approximately two-thirds of
the increase reflects the acquisitions of Prince, the interior systems company
acquired in October 1996, and Roth Freres, the seating and interior systems
company acquired in December 1995.  North American seating sales experienced
growth, despite an approximate 2% decline in industry vehicle production levels,
resulting from the Company's participation with new and successful vehicle
models such as Ford's Expedition and F-150 light trucks and General Motors'
minivans.  European seating sales were also higher reflecting new programs with
Ford, Chrysler and Volkswagen.  Sales of automotive batteries were up over the
prior year period due to higher unit shipments to the replacement market,
including new customer, Western Auto.

        Controls segment sales increased 16% to $731 million from $633 million
in the prior year.  Commercial integrated facilities management sales grew in
both the North American and European markets.  The segment also experienced an
increase in the nonresidential new construction market, primarily in North
America and the Pacific Rim.  Orders from the commercial buildings market in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 were slightly higher than a year ago, led by
worldwide new construction activity.

<PAGE>   10

JOHNSON CONTROLS, INC.

FORM 10-Q, DECEMBER 31, 1996


        The overall sales growth experienced in the first quarter is expected to
continue throughout fiscal 1997.  Automotive segment sales are expected to
increase approximately 25%-30%, despite an anticipated flat vehicle production
level worldwide.  The projected increase is due to the Prince acquisition
(October 1996), the first quarter impact of the Roth acquisition (December
1995), the launch of new seating business, both domestically and outside the
U.S., and higher battery sales to new and existing customers. Management expects
an increase in controls segment sales of approximately 10%-15%.  The anticipated
driver of this increase is a higher level of activity in the existing buildings
market, primarily in the area of commercial integrated facilities management and
performance contracting, and in the new construction market.

        Consolidated operating income for the first fiscal quarter of 1997 of
$130 million represents a 27% improvement over the prior year's $102 million. 
The automotive segment's operating income grew as a result of the volumes
increases, however, at a lower rate than sales.  Margins were impacted by
several factors including the General Motors strike, start-up and engineering
investments related to new seating programs, and start-up investments in the
emerging South American and Pacific Rim markets.

        Operating income for the controls segment improved at a rate slightly
less than sales.  Operating margins associated with the segment's rapidly
growing integrated facility management business are lower than those of the
systems installation and service businesses.

        Other expense increased $11 million over the comparable prior year
quarter.  Net interest expense increased $17 million as a result of the
financing associated with the Prince acquisition.  Miscellaneous income
increased approximately $6 million due to an increase in equity earnings,
primarily associated with the automotive segment's European and Mexican seating
affiliates.

        The effective income tax rate on continuing operations was 42.5% for the
three-month period ended December 31, 1996 compared to 41.8% for the comparable
quarter last year.  The increase primarily reflects the non-deductible goodwill
amortization associated with the acquisition of Prince.

        The Company's first quarter income from continuing operations of $55
million was 21% higher than the prior year's $45 million.  This increase was due
to the improvements in operating income, offset by higher interest expense, as
noted above.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per share from continuing
operations for the quarter ended December 31, 1996, were $1.26 and $1.19,
respectively, up from $1.03 and $.98 in the prior year.

JOHNSON CONTROLS, INC.

FORM 10-Q, DECEMBER 31, 1996


COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Working Capital and Cash Flow

        The Company's working capital (excluding "Net assets of discontinued
operations") totalled ($1,067) million at December 31, 1996, compared with $226
million and $94 million at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
respectively.  The large decrease in working capital relates to the increase in
short-term debt used to finance the acquisition of Prince.  Working capital
excluding debt and cash was higher than the comparable prior year periods
primarily due to higher accounts receivable.

        Operating activities of the continuing operations used cash of $19
million for the first quarter compared to cash provided of $75 million in the
prior year.  Working capital changes, primarily accounts receivable and accounts
payable, utilized the Company's cash.

Capital Expenditures and Other Investments

        Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment related to
continuing operations were approximately $63 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997, a decline of $8 million from the $71 million incurred during the
first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Management projects that capital spending for the
full year will be approximately $375-$400 million.  The majority of the spending
will be focused on new automotive seating and interior product lines and
facilities.  Cost reduction projects in both segments are planned for fiscal
1997.

        Goodwill of $1,627 million at December 31, 1996 was $1,079 million
higher than at September 30 due to the acquisition of Prince.

        Investments in partially-owned affiliates of $133 million were
approximately $5 million higher than the September 30, 1996 balance.  The
increase primarily relates to the recording of equity income.

Capitalization

        The Company's total capitalization at December 31, 1996 of $3,868
million included short-term debt of $1,500 million, long-term debt, including
current portion, of $813 million and shareholders' equity of $1,555 million.
Total capitalization at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 was $2,541
million and $2,469 million, respectively.  Total debt as a percentage of total
capitalization increased to 60% from 41% at the 1996 fiscal year-end and 44% one
year ago.  The increase is attributable to the issuance of commercial paper in
conjunction with the Prince acquisition.  The Company intends to use the
after-tax proceeds from the sale of PCD to repay a portion of this short-term
debt.  A portion of the remaining commercial paper will then be permanently
refinanced under the $1.5 billion shelf registration statement on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company expects its debt to
capitalization ratio to approximate 45%-50% by the end of fiscal 1997.

<PAGE>   12

JOHNSON CONTROLS, INC.

FORM 10-Q, DECEMBER 31, 1996


        The Company believes its capital resources and liquidity position at
December 31, 1996 are adequate to meet projected needs.  Requirements for
working capital, capital expenditures, dividends and debt maturities in fiscal
1997 will continue to be funded from operations, supplemented by short-term
borrowings, if required, to meet peak seasonal needs.

Backlog

        The unearned backlog of commercial building systems, services and
integrated facilities management contracts to be executed within the next year
at December 31, 1996 was $1,207 million, compared with $1,168 million at
September 30, 1996 and $1,174 million at December 31, 1995.  The increase from
September 30 primarily represents strong new construction and integrated
facilities management activity worldwide.


        The unearned backlog of government facilities management contracts,
which reflects only the noncancellable portion of uncompleted contracts was $339
million compared to $424 million at September 30, 1996 and $364 million last
year.  The decrease from September 30 primarily reflects the timing of contract
renewals.  The reduction from last year reflects the loss of certain contracts.

Risk Factors

        Except for the historical information contained herein, certain matters
discussed in this Form 10-Q are "forward looking statements" as defined in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (PSLRA) of 1995, which involve risks
and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various important factors.
The Company wishes to take advantage of the "safe Harbor" provisions of the
PSLRA by cautioning that numerous important factors as discussed in the
Company's Form 8-K filing (dated September 27, 1996), among others, in some
cases have affected, and in the future could affect, the Company's actual
results and could cause its actual consolidated results to differ materially
from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by, or on behalf of,
the Company.

          For the purpose of computing this ratio, "earnings" consist of (a)
          income from continuing operations before income taxes (adjusted for
          undistributed earnings or recognized losses of partially-owned
          affiliates which are less than 50% owned, minority interests in net
          earnings of subsidiaries, and amortization of previously capitalized
          interest), plus (b) fixed charges, minus (c) interest capitalized
          during the period.  "Fixed charges" consist of (a) interest incurred
          and amortization of debt expense plus (b) the portion of rent expense
          representative of the interest factor.
