           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                     (September 30, 1994, Unaudited)

 1.  CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared
by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the
Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these condensed financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report and Form 10-K, 
and Form 10-Q as of and for the three months ended March 31, 1994.

     The information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION    
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THIRD QUARTER 1994

Sales -- Record $1.020 billion, up 19% from year-earlier $857 million, up 
slightly from $1.004 billion in second quarter

Earnings Per Share -- 89 cents/share, up 20% from year-earlier 74 cents/share 
and just below record 91 cents in second quarter

Order Backlog -- Up $10 million during quarter to record $635 million compared 
to $493 million at year-end 1993 and $528 million one year ago

Employment -- Up 800 during quarter to 29,000

NINE MONTHS

Sales -- Record $2.93 billion, up 14% from $2.58 billion in year-earlier 
period

Earnings per Share -- Record $2.56/share, up 19% from $2.15/share in year-
earlier period

Capital Expenditures -- Record $300 million; $400-425 million expected for 
full year, up from $330 million in 1993

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1994 results continue to come in better than we had earlier expected, but 
closely in line with current analyst consensus estimates. Third quarter sales
set a new high of $1.020 billion -- up 19% from $857 million in the third 
quarter of 1993, slightly above the prior high of $1.004 billion in the second 
quarter, and well above the $906 million in the first quarter of this year. 
Usually third quarter sales are down modestly because of seasonal summer 
softness. But that effect was offset this year by the further weakening of 
the U.S. dollar during the third quarter, which added $26 million to sales, 
and by the broadening economic recovery in the Western Hemisphere, Europe, and 
Japan. This permitted earnings to continue at the near-record level of 
89 cents/share -- very close to the record 91 cents set in the second quarter 
this year and up 20% from 74 cents in the third quarter of 1993.

Nine months sales and earnings set new highs of $2.93 billion and $2.56/share
- -- up 14% and 19% respectively from $2.58 billion and $2.15/share in the 
year-earlier period. Changes in exchange rates from the prior year had no 
significant overall effect on nine months 1994 sales. Currency rates remaining 
constant at current levels during the rest of the fourth quarter would have a 
modest positive effect versus both the year-earlier and prior quarters.

The good growth in sales this year reflects the broadening economic recovery 
throughout the world. For the first nine months, U.S. sales were up 13%; 
Europe up 14% in local currencies and 13% in U.S. dollars; Asia/Pacific up 8% 
in local currencies and 15% in U.S. dollars; and Western Hemisphere outside 
the U.S. up 24% in U.S. dollars. Sales growth is broad based, with gains in 
virtually every market category in each region. In the U.S. our strongest 
sales growth is in the automotive market. In Europe nearly every country is 
showing growth over the prior year and our largest market, automotive, 
continues to lead the widening economic recovery there. In the Asia/Pacific 
region our largest company, AMP Japan, has recently resumed sales growth as 
the Japanese economic recovery gets underway. Sales growth throughout the rest 
of the region continues at a very strong pace -- reflecting the high rate of 
economic growth in many of those countries.

This good sales growth in each region, combined with continued productivity 
improvement and cost reduction, has enabled us to improve profit margins over 
the prior year.

OUTLOOK

The outlook continues to improve. We expect new highs in sales and earnings 
in the fourth quarter and continued good growth next year. Our planning 
scenario assumes that we are in a period of broadening recovery which will 
lead to modest sustainable economic growth in many countries for several 
years. In this favorable economic climate, the electrical/electronic markets 
we serve should continue to expand at two to three times Gross Domestic 
Product growth rates. As the leader in the connector industry (20% share in a 
$20 billion market), we have an increasingly broad participation in that 
market growth. In addition, through our diversification program we are now 
addressing other fast growing related markets totaling $40-60 billion. We 
continue to emphasize a broadening of our role in the rapidly developing 
information superhighway and offering a wider range of products to meet the 
strong demand arising in many countries as they build or modernize their 
basic infrastructure in such sectors as power, communications, transportation, 
and housing.

ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES

In September we announced the election of Dennis Horowitz to the newly created 
position of corporate vice president-Americas (all Western Hemisphere terminal/
connector operations). He joins AMP from North American Philips where he was 
president and CEO of Philips Technologies. Dan Wilkie was appointed to the 
newly created position of divisional vice president--Components and Subsystems 
Group, reporting to Jay Hassan, corporate vice president, Global 
Interconnection Systems Businesses. He held CEO and vice president positions 
at several electronic equipment manufacturers, most recently at Conner 
Peripherals. Dean Hooper, formerly head of AMP's Utility, Networking & 
Communications Products Group, with AMP 17 years, has been appointed to the 
newly created position of divisional vice president--U.S. Sales and Marketing.
       
Jack Leung, general manager and area director--Asia/Pacific Central, has been 
appointed a divisional vice president. He has been with AMP 11 years. Robert 
Ripp, former IBM treasurer who was elected AMP's corporate vice president--
Finance in July, has been elected corporate vice president--Chief Financial 
Officer effective January 1, 1995. He succeeds Benjamin Savidge who is 
retiring as an officer and director at age 65 at year-end after 35 years of 
service.

Takeo Shiina, chairman of IBM Japan, Ltd., was elected an AMP director  
effective January 1, 1995.  He adds a new dimension to the AMP board because 
of his lengthy electronics industry experience, as well as international 
expertise and prestige. He has mechanical engineering degrees from Keio and 
Bucknell Universities and 41 years service with IBM Japan. He received the 
Blue Ribbon Medal Award from the Japanese government because of his 
outstanding leadership contributions to government, industry, and educational 
organizations.

EXPANSION

Expansion continues throughout the world as we add new capabilities and enter 
new markets. In the U.S. earlier this year we started up new facilities for 
production of automotive connectors, panel assemblies, cable and cable 
assemblies. A 180,000 sq. ft. engineering building is under construction in 
the Harrisburg area. To support our growth in the consumer goods market, we 
will be building a large manufacturing plant in Lickdale, PA, northeast of 
Harrisburg, and consolidating operations from nearby smaller plants in Tower 
City and Williamstown into the new facility. We recently held dedication 
ceremonies at our Hungarian plant, our first Eastern European facility, which 
began operation early this year. A new facility near Dublin, Ireland, will 
begin production of connector panel assemblies for the European market next 
spring. In the Asia/Pacific region we started production at our second 
facility in South Korea, primarily to serve a rapidly growing automotive 
market; began operations in Bangalore, India (our second plant in India); and 
are progressing on plans for a second plant in China.

Reflecting our growing optimism, capital spending estimates for 1994 have 
risen from $350-375 million early this year to $400-425 million -- up 
significantly from $330 million last year. The majority of this spending is 
for equipment that broadens and improves our capabilities, and includes much 
production tooling for the many new products we are introducing. Similarly, 
we continue to carefully increase employment as we add new facilities, create 
and expand business units, diversify into new technologies and markets, and 
make acquisitions. Employment is up 2,100 to 29,000 so far this year after 
rising 1,700 last year. Both capital spending and employment are expected to 
continue rising in 1995.

ALLIANCES/ACQUISITIONS

As announced in September, AMP made a minority equity investment in Ocean Power 
Technologies, Inc. (Princeton, NJ) -- a small company concentrating on 
electric power generation systems using ocean waves to actuate piezoelectric 
polymer film and thus directly generate electricity. The piezoelectric polymers 
will be supplied by our Advanced Sensors and Interconnection System Division. 
AMP also acquired the technology of ACCU-SCAN, Inc. (Fort Walton Beach, FL), a 
small company providing power diagnostic information systems and services -- 
including grounding current monitors.

AWARDS/RECOGNITION

AMP has just received the prestigious Award of Excellence from the 
International Customer Service Association presented each year to the 
manufacturing company with the consistently best customer service. AMP business 
units won five of the seven top awards presented at the First Annual 
Pennsylvania Quality Leadership program modeled after the national Malcolm 
Baldrige program. (In 1993 AMP was one of only four Malcolm Baldrige 
manufacturing company site visit finalists.) An AMP business unit also won the 
most recent top quality award for manufacturing in North Carolina.

AMP's Director of Global Product Standards, Henry Line, was one of only two 
speakers representing the U.S. electronics industry in congressional testimony 
on the importance of product standards in world trade and U.S. competitiveness.


DIVIDEND ACTION

On October 26, 1994 the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly 
dividend of 42 cents/share payable December 1, 1994, to shareholders of 
record November 7, 1994. The total 1994 dividend of $1.68 per share is up from 
$1.60 in 1993, $1.52 in 1992, and $1.44 in 1991 -- the 41st consecutive annual 
increase.
