             Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                (Unaudited)

1.  Basis of Presentation

   The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 1,
   1995, the Statements of Consolidated Earnings for the
   three-month and six-month periods ended July 1, 1995 and
   July 2, 1994, and the Statements of Condensed
   Consolidated Cash Flows for the six-month periods ended
   July 1, 1995 and July 2, 1994 have been prepared by the
   Company.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
   (which include reclassifications and normal recurring
   adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
   position, results of operations and cash flows at July 1,
   1995 and for all periods presented, have been made.
   
   Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
   included in the financial statements prepared in
   accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
   have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that
   these condensed consolidated financial statements be read
   in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
   thereto included in the Company's December 31, 1994
   annual report to stockholders.  The results of operations
   for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 1,
   1995 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
   results for the full year.

2.  Inventories

   Inventories consist of the following (in millions):
                                               July 1,  Dec. 31,
                                               1995     1994

   Finished goods                            $   997   $   699
   Work in process and production materials    2,185     1,971
                                             $ 3,182   $ 2,670

3.  Income Taxes

   The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has examined the
   federal income tax returns for Motorola, Inc. through
   1985 and the returns have been settled through that year.
   The settlement did not result in a material adverse
   effect on the consolidated financial position, liquidity
   or results of operations of the Company.  The IRS has
   completed its field audit of the years 1986 and 1987.  In
   connection with these audits, the IRS has proposed
   adjustments to the Company's income and tax credits for
   those years which would result in additional tax.  The
   Company disagrees with certain of the proposed
   adjustments and is contesting them.  In the opinion of
   the Company's management, the final disposition of these
   matters, and proposed adjustments from other tax
   authorities, will not have a material adverse effect on
   the consolidated financial position, liquidity or results
   of operations of the Company.

4.  Supplemental Cash Flows Information

   Cash payments for income taxes were $473 million during
   the first six months of 1995 and $455 million for the
   same period a year earlier.  Cash payments for interest
   expense (net of amount capitalized) were $88 million and
   $100 million, for the first six-month periods of 1995 and
   1994, respectively.
 
         Motorola, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries
            Management's Discussion and Analysis
      of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



This commentary should be read in conjunction with the
referenced sections of the following documents for a full
understanding of Motorola's financial condition and results
of operations: from Motorola, Inc.'s 1994 Annual Report to
Stockholders, the Letter to Stockholders - Financial Results
paragraph on page 2, the Review of Operations section on
pages 20 through 23, the Financial Review section on pages
24 through 28, and the Consolidated Financial Statements and
Footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, pages 30
through 43; and from Motorola, Inc.'s Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the period ending July 1, 1995, of which this
commentary is a part, the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, pages 3 through 6.

Results of Operations:

Motorola, Inc. reported higher sales and earnings for the
second quarter and first half of 1995.  Sales rose to $6.9
billion in the second quarter of 1995, up 26 percent from
$5.4 billion in the second quarter of 1994.  In the first
half, sales reached $12.9 billion, up 27 percent from $10.1
billion a year ago.  Earnings in the second quarter of 1995
were $481 million, compared with $367 million in the same
period a year earlier.  Fully diluted net earnings per
common and common equivalent share for the second quarter of
1995 were 79 cents, compared to 63 cents in the year-earlier
period.  Earnings in the first six months were $853 million,
compared with $665 million a year earlier.  Fully diluted
net earnings per common and common equivalent share were
$1.40, compared to $1.14 a year earlier.  The 1994 per-share
figures reflect a two-for-one stock split distributed April
18, 1994 to stockholders of record as of March 15, 1994.
Motorola's net margin on sales (net earnings divided by net
sales) during the second quarter of 1995 was 7.0 percent
compared to 6.7 percent a year ago, while in the first half
it was 6.6 percent, unchanged from the year-earlier period.

General Systems Sector's segment sales rose to $2.9 billion,
an increase of 39 percent from the second quarter of 1994.
Orders increased 25 percent and operating profits were
higher than in the second quarter of 1994.  The Cellular
Infrastructure Group's (CIG) sales and orders were up
substantially in the second quarter of 1995 compared to the
year-earlier period.  Order growth was strongest in Greater
China, Europe and Japan, while there was a small decline in
orders in Pan America.  Sales showed very good growth in all
regions, including Pan America.  The Cellular Subscriber
Group (CSG) recorded higher orders and a substantial
increase in sales.  Order growth was strongest in Greater
China and Asia-Pacific, while orders declined slightly in
Japan, Europe and Pan America.  In the U.S. specifically,
inventories of cellular phones in the distribution channels
returned to a normal range late in the second quarter and
order patterns were improved from the first quarter of 1995.
Backlog in the second quarter of 1995 decreased in CSG and
increased substantially in CIG compared to the second
quarter of 1994.

Segment sales in the Semiconductor Products Sector increased
22 percent from the second quarter of 1994 to $2.1 billion.
Orders increased 36 percent and operating profits were
higher than in the second quarter of 1994.  All major market
regions showed double-digit order growth, led by Europe and
Asia-Pacific.  Personal computer/work station, communication
and automotive led market segment order growth.
Distribution orders also were higher.  Highest order growth
among product lines included RISC (reduced instruction set
computers) microprocessors, analog and logic devices, fast
static random access memories and microcontrollers.

Operating margins in the Semiconductor Product Segment
declined during the second quarter of 1995 compared to the
second quarter of 1994, primarily due to start-up costs,
increased depreciation (as a percent to sales) and
inefficiencies related to the new manufacturing capacity.
The Company presently expects that this segment will
continue to incur significant start-up costs and
inefficiencies and experience  increased depreciation
expenses (as a percent of sales) for several quarters as a
result of its capacity expansion program.  Based on the
recent past and other considerations, the Company also
expects that the sales growth rate of this segment will
probably lag the order growth rate, resulting in an increase
in backlog, as was experienced in the first and second
quarters of 1995 versus the respective year-earlier periods.

Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector continues to
experience limits on the amount of orders it can accept for
certain types of products, due to capacity constraints.
These constraints may also restrict Motorola's ability to
ship cellular telephones and certain other products.  If
customer demand for semiconductors and wireless
communications products remains strong, Motorola does not
expect that these capacity constraints will ease until
sufficient wafer fabrication capacity becomes available,
which is currently expected to start for some products
during the second half of 1995.

In the Messaging, Information and Media Segment businesses,
comprised of the Paging Products and Wireless Data Groups
(formerly reported as part of the Communications Segment)
and Information Systems Group (formerly reported as part of
the "Other Products" segment), segment sales increased 24
percent from the second quarter of 1994 to $895 million and
operating profits, including a net gain from unusual items
in the second quarter of 1995, were higher than the year-
earlier period.  Orders increased 42 percent from the second
quarter of 1994.  Paging Products Group orders increased
substantially compared to the year-earlier period, driven by
international market growth, particularly in China and
Europe, while in Japan orders were lower.  In the U.S.,
orders increased slightly in the second quarter of 1995
compared to the year-earlier period.

In the Land Mobile Products Sector business segment,
comprised of the Radio Products, Radio Parts and Services,
Network Services and Business Strategies, and Radio Network
Solutions Groups (formerly reported as part of the
Communications Segment), sales increased 4 percent to $872
million and operating profits were lower from the second
quarter of 1994.  Orders declined 18 percent from the second
quarter of 1994.  The results were affected by factors
related to iDEN (trademark symbol inserted here) (Integrated Dispatch Enhanced
Network) technology, which offset improved results in the sector's
non-iDEN business.  This slow-down in sales adversely
affected the Segment's manufacturing margin as capacity
utilization declined.  This pattern is expected to continue
as the Company and its customers continue with iDEN-related
issues which must be resolved before any accelerated
nationwide build-out of these systems can proceed.  Gross
margins on iDEN products will vary from quarter to quarter
depending on the types of equipment sold under various
contracts.

Results in the iDEN business declined due to continued
investments in systems optimization and iDEN technology
development, provisions for an anticipated contract revision
with a customer, and the need for major U.S. customers to
complete merger and financing transactions.  New orders for
iDEN equipment were received from Nextel Communications,
Inc. for its U.S. network and from Clearnet for its systems
in Canada.  In the sector's non-iDEN business, sales, orders
and operating profits were higher.  Demand was strong for
portable and mobile two-way radios sold through dealers and
for large private trunking systems, especially in the U.S.
and Asia.

Motorola and Nextel have extended the agreement by which
Motorola will receive up to 59.5 million shares of Nextel
stock in exchange for most of Motorola's 800 megahertz (MHz)
specialized mobile radio service (SMRS) businesses, systems
and licenses in the continental United States.  Motorola
currently expects the transaction to occur in the third
quarter of 1995.  Nextel's shareholders and public debt
holders have approved the transaction.

In the Automotive, Energy and Controls Group, sales
increased 16 percent and orders increased 10 percent from
the second quarter of 1994.  Operating profits were higher
compared to the second quarter of 1994.  Order growth came
from component and energy products used in wireless
communications products as well as electronic ballasts from
Motorola Lighting.  Automotive electronics orders were
slightly lower than a year ago because of softness in U.S.
and European markets.  The results for this group are
reported as part of the "Other Products" segment.

In the Government and Space Technology Group (GSTG), group
sales increased from the second quarter of 1994 by 106
percent due to increased sales by the Satellite
Communications Division to Iridium, Inc.  Orders were 33
percent higher, and the group recorded an operating profit
compared with a loss a year ago.  Development of the IRIDIUM (registered mark
inserted here) global communications system continued on schedule, as
Motorola met all contractual milestones during the quarter.
As previously indicated, Iridium, Inc. will require
additional financing to continue to make payments to
Motorola under a contract to construct the global
communications system.  The additional financing is expected
to be required beginning in early 1996.  GSTG is recording
reserves that currently result in a minimal level of profit
recognition for the IRIDIUM project.  These reserves are
reevaluated periodically.  The results for this group are
reported as part of the "Other Products" segment.

Motorola's manufacturing and other costs of sales during the
second quarter of 1995 and 1994 were $4.4 billion, 64
percent of net sales, and $3.4 billion, 62 percent of net
sales, respectively.  The increase during the second quarter
of 1995 as a percent of net sales was a result of start-up
costs and inefficiencies associated with adding major
elements of new semiconductor manufacturing capacity to
support growth in sales and orders, as well as the
continuation of a strategy to remain the price leader in the
cellular telephone and paging industries worldwide, to
influence the continuing growth of these markets.

Motorola's wireless communications businesses have been
attracting significant price competition for some time,
which is expected to continue.  Motorola intends to protect
and, if possible, improve its market share in these
businesses by utilizing its high volume manufacturing
capabilities.  This may also mean tolerating lower gross
margins.  It is management's current intention to continue
to manage selling, general and administrative expenses in
line with this strategy.

Motorola's selling, general and administrative expenses
during the second quarter of 1995 were $1.2 billion, 18
percent of sales, versus $1.1 billion, 20 percent of sales,
during the year-earlier period.

The tax rate for the quarter was 37 percent compared with 38
percent in the second quarter of 1994 and 36 percent for the
full year 1994.  Fully diluted average common and common
equivalent shares outstanding increased to 609.2 million
from 588.7 million a year ago, largely as a result of the
Company completing a public equity offering of 17.1 million
shares during November 1994.


Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Inventories at July 1, 1995 increased by 19 percent or $512
million, compared to inventories at December 31, 1994.
Inventories increased in all segments led by the General
Systems Sector and Semiconductor Products Sector.

Property, plant and equipment, less accumulated depreciation
at July 1, 1995, has increased $1.4 billion since December
31, 1994, largely due to the semiconductor business capacity
expansions.  Depreciation expense increased 32 percent for
the second quarter of 1995 in comparison to the year-earlier
period.

The Company is currently anticipating that depreciation
expense will rise as a percent of sales for the full year,
as was experienced in the first half of 1995 when
depreciation increased to 7.1 percent of sales versus 6.6
percent for the year-earlier period.

Motorola's notes payable and current portion of long-term
debt increased $954 million, or 104 percent from the amount
at December 31, 1994.  The increase is primarily due to a
significant increase in fixed asset expenditures, sales
growth which is driving increases in receivables and
inventory, and the Company's inability to achieve improved
rates of inventory turnover and receivable collections.
Long-term debt increased $392 million or 35 percent from the
amount at December 31, 1994, as a result of the Company
issuing, during the second quarter of 1995, 7 1/2 percent
debentures due May 15, 2025 in an aggregate principal amount
of $400 million under the universal shelf registration
statement filed during 1994.  The Company anticipates that
through the second half of the year, cash will be required
to fund additional fixed asset purchases and to complete
other investment activities.  Net debt (notes payable and
current portion of long-term debt plus long-term debt less
short-term investments and cash equivalents) to net debt
plus equity rose to 20.3 percent at July 1, 1995 from 12.1
percent at December 31, 1994.  The Company's total domestic
and foreign credit facilities aggregated $2.9 billion at
July 1, 1995, of which $349 million were used and the
remaining amount was not drawn, but was available to back up
outstanding commercial paper which totaled $1.5 billion at
July 1, 1995.

The Company uses financial instruments to hedge, and
therefore help reduce, its overall exposure to the effects
of currency fluctuations on cash flows of foreign operations
and investments in foreign countries.  The Company's
strategy is to offset the gains or losses of the financial
instruments against losses or gains on the underlying
operational cash flows or investments based on the operating
business units assessment of risk.  Motorola does not
speculate in these financial instruments for profit on the
exchange rate price fluctuations alone.  Motorola does not
trade in currencies for which there are no underlying
exposures, and the Company does not enter into trades for
any currency to intentionally increase the underlying
exposure.

Essentially all the Company's non-functional currency
receivables and payables denominated in major currencies
which can be traded on open markets are hedged.  Some of the
Company's exposure is to currencies which are not traded on
open markets, such as those in Latin America and China, and
these are addressed, to the extent reasonably possible,
through managing net asset positions, product pricing, and
other means, such as component sourcing.  Currently, the
Company primarily hedges firm commitments.  The Company
expects that there could be hedges of anticipated
transactions in the future.  The foreign exchange financial
instruments which hedge various investments in foreign
subsidiaries are marked to market monthly as are the
underlying investments and the results are recorded in the
financial statements.

As of July 1, 1995 and July 2, 1994, the Company had net
outstanding foreign exchange contracts totaling $1.2 billion
and $1 billion, respectively.  The following schedule shows
the five largest foreign exchange hedge positions as of July
1, 1995, and the corresponding positions at July 2, 1994:

Millions of U.S. Dollars
Buy (Sell)                             July 1,     July 2,
                                       1995        1994

Japanese Yen                             (387)     (480)
German Deutsche Mark                     (221)     (126)
British Pound Sterling                   (182)     (117)
Spanish Peseta                            (75)      (52)
Singapore Dollar                           70        --

As of July 1, 1995 and July 2, 1994, outstanding foreign
exchange contracts primarily consisted of short-term forward
contracts.  Net deferred losses on these forward contracts
which hedge designated firm commitments were immaterial at
July 1, 1995.

Motorola's research and development expense was $551 million
in the second quarter of 1995, compared to $455 million in
the second quarter of 1994.  In the first half of 1995,
research and development expense was $1,052 million,
compared to $865 million a year ago.  The Company continues
to believe that a strong commitment to research and
development drives long-term growth.

Return on average invested capital (net earnings divided by
the sum of stockholders' equity, long-term debt, notes
payable and current portion of long-term debt, less short-
term investments and cash equivalents) was 16.5 percent
based on the performance of the four preceding fiscal
quarters ending July 1, 1995, unchanged from the year-
earlier period.  Motorola's current ratio (the ratio of
current assets to current liabilities) was 1.4 at July 1,
1995, compared to 1.5 at December 31, 1994.

                 Part II - Other Information


Item 1 - Legal Proceedings.

Motorola and several of its directors and officers are named
defendants in three alleged class actions for alleged
violations of section 10(b) and 20 (a) of the Securities
Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5, Kaufman, et al. v.
Motorola, Inc., et al.; Hoffman Ira Rollover Account et al.
v. Motorola, Inc., et al.; and Miller v. Motorola, Inc., et
al.  On June 1, 1995, these three cases were consolidated
into one lawsuit which is pending in the U.S. District Court
for the Northern District of Illinois.

A class action, In Re Nextel Communications Securities
Litigation, against Nextel Communications, Inc., certain of
its officers and directors and Motorola for alleged
violations of Sections 10(b) and 20 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5, is pending in the
United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.
The pending complaint, a consolidation of cases previously
filed against Nextel, maintains that the defendants
artificially inflated the price of Nextel common stock
through a series of alleged misrepresentations and
omissions.  Plaintiffs propose a class period of July 22,
1993 through January 10, 1995 and seek an unspecified amount
of monetary damages.

There are currently six cases pending in Phoenix, Arizona
arising out of alleged groundwater, soil and air pollution
in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona.  The plaintiffs in Baker
et al. v. Motorola et al. filed a Third Amended Complaint on
June 30, 1995 which added seven new defendants (See Item 3
of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended 1994, and the Company's first quarter report on Form
10-Q for additional disclosures regarding cases arising out
of alleged groundwater, soil and air pollution in Phoenix
and Scottsdale, Arizona).  In the opinion of management, the
ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
condition, liquidity or results of operations of Motorola.
