RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   The transition to the Solaris 2 operating environment, which began in fiscal
   1993, has continued into fiscal 1994.  The success of this transition is
   critical, as the Company expects to generate significant revenue in fiscal
   1994 from products that operate exclusively in the Solaris 2 environment.
   The demand for these products will continue to depend, in part, upon the
   availability of third party application software, which requires the
   continuing efforts of independent software vendors to port their software to
   the new operating environment, as well as the acceptance and migration of
   customers to Solaris 2.

   Management believes the Company is well positioned and in strong financial
   condition with a competitive offering of products.  However, the Solaris 2
   transition, the generally uncertain state of several key international
   economies and continued intense competition in Sun's markets will continue
   to result in pressure on fiscal 1994 profitability.  The mitigation of these
   factors will depend, in part, on the Company's ability to generate higher
   system, service and software license volumes and achieve additional
   component cost reductions. The potential benefits of such higher volumes
   could be increased as a result of the Company's ongoing efforts to provide
   additional operating efficiencies through the continual review and
   improvement of business processes and cycle times. In connection with these
   efforts, the Company is continuously engaged in the process of managing the
   mix and level of its workforce.





                                     Page 7

   Sun operates in an industry marked by rapidly changing technology and
   increasing competition, consolidation and globalization.  The Company's
   future operating results will depend to a considerable extent on its ability
   to rapidly and continuously develop, introduce and deliver in volume new
   products that offer customers enhanced performance at competitive prices
   (see "Future Operating Results").


Net revenues

   Net revenues were $1,130.7 million for the second quarter and $2,091.2
   million for the first six months of fiscal 1994, representing increases of
   8% and 10%, respectively, over the comparable periods of fiscal 1993.  The
   growth in net revenues is primarily attributable to higher nonsystems and
   service revenues.  Although system unit shipments declined by approximately
   9% for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1994 when
   compared with the same periods of fiscal 1993, this decrease was more than
   offset by higher nonsystems revenues, including memory and storage options
   and accessories, as well as a mix shift to server units with higher average
   selling prices.  As a result, system revenues remained relatively constant
   in absolute dollars for both the second quarter and first six months of
   fiscal 1994 when compared with the comparable periods of fiscal 1993.
   Service revenues, while not significant as a percentage of total net
   revenues, did represent approximately 18% and 11% of the total net revenue
   growth for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1994 when
   compared with the same periods of fiscal 1993.  In the second half of 
   fiscal 1994, Sun expects the shift to servers and higher service revenues to
   continue.

   Domestic net revenues grew 4% and 9%, while international net revenues
   (including United States exports) grew 11% in both the second quarter and
   first six months of fiscal 1994, respectively, over the comparable periods
   of fiscal 1993.  Europe net revenues increased 5% for the second quarter but
   decreased slightly for the first six months of fiscal 1994 over the
   comparable periods of fiscal 1993, primarily as the result of generally weak
   economic conditions in certain European countries.  Net revenues in the Rest
   of World increased 19% and 28% in the second quarter and first six months of
   fiscal 1994, respectively, when compared with the comparable periods of
   fiscal 1993. International net revenues represented 52% and 50% of total net
   revenues in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1994,
   respectively, compared with 50% and 49% for each of the comparable periods
   of fiscal 1993.

   The impact of currency fluctuations on net revenues and operating results
   cannot be precisely measured because the Company's product mix and pricing
   change over time in various markets, partially in response to currency
   movements.  Further, the Company's international structure and transaction
   activity provide a degree of natural hedge where fluctuations in a
   particular currency result in financial effects that mitigate, or tend to
   offset each other on a consolidated basis.  The Company generally manages
   currency exposure through an established hedging program, the objective of
   which is to minimize the impact of currency fluctuations on results of
   operations.

   Compared with the second quarter  and first six months of the prior fiscal
   year, the dollar has strengthened against most European currencies but
   weakened against the Japanese yen.  Management has estimated that the net
   impact of currency fluctuations on operating results, while slightly
   unfavorable, was not significant in the second quarter or first six months
   of fiscal 1994.


Gross margin

   Gross margin was 41.7% for the second quarter and 41.3% for the first six
   months of fiscal 1994, compared with 41.0% and 41.9%, respectively, for the
   comparable periods of fiscal 1993. System margins improved in the second
   quarter of fiscal 1994 due to a higher mix of server systems with
   accompanying higher margins, as well as the absence of certain specific
   upgrade and promotional costs incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 1993.
   The improvement in system margins in the second quarter of fiscal 1994 over
   the comparable period in the prior year more than offset the unfavorable
   effects attributable to a mix of higher nonsystems revenues which generally
   carry lower margins. The improvement in second quarter fiscal 1994 system
   margins was not sufficient to offset the margin impact of the higher
   nonsystems revenues in the first six months of fiscal 1994 when compared to
   the same period in the prior year.





                                     Page 8
<PAGE>   9
Research and development

   Research and development (R&D) expenses were $111.4 million in the second
   quarter and $219.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 1994, compared
   with  $110.8 million and $216.3 million for the same periods of fiscal 1993.
   As a percentage of net revenues, R&D expenses decreased to 9.8% for the
   second quarter of fiscal 1994 from 10.5% for the corresponding period of
   fiscal 1993, and decreased to 10.5% for the first six months of fiscal 1994
   from 11.3% in the comparable period of the prior year.  The decrease as a
   percent of revenues reflects the Company's efforts to focus engineering
   efforts to bring targeted technologies to market.  Sun continues to believe
   that the market for its products is characterized by rapid rates of
   technological innovation for both hardware and software products.  To
   maintain its competitive position in the industry, the Company expects to
   continue to invest significant resources in new hardware and software
   product development as well as in enhancements to existing products.


Selling, general and administrative

   Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $294.9 million in
   the second quarter and $564.0 million in the first six months of fiscal
   1994, representing increases of $25.7 million (9.6%) and $41.6 million
   (7.9%), respectively, from the corresponding periods of fiscal 1993.  As a
   percentage of net revenues, SG&A expenses were 26.1% and 25.6% in the second
   quarters of fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively, and 27.0% and 27.4% in the
   first six months of fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The dollar increase
   primarily reflects investments for additional sales headcount in support of
   new sales channel development.  The decrease as a percent of net revenues in
   the first six months of fiscal 1994 reflects, in part, the Company's ongoing
   efforts to reduce the structural level of such expenses over time through
   improvements in business processes and cycle times.

Interest income/expense, net

   Net interest income was $.8 million for the second quarter and $1.4 million
   for the first six months of fiscal 1994, compared with $1.2 million and $2.9
   million, respectively, in net interest expense for the corresponding periods
   in fiscal 1993.  The decrease was primarily due to the elimination of
   certain interest expense due to the conversion of the Company's subordinated
   debentures in November 1992.

Income taxes

   The Company's effective income tax rate for the second quarter and first six
   months of fiscal 1994 was 34% compared with 32% for the corresponding
   periods of fiscal 1993.  The effective tax rate for the first six months of
   fiscal 1994 was impacted by a one-time credit of $5.9 million recorded in
   the first quarter as a result of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
   1993, which included a retroactive reinstatement of the research and
   development credit. The increase in the fiscal 1994 rate compared with the
   fiscal 1993 rate is primarily due to the increase in the U.S. statutory rate
   from 34% to 35%.

Settlement of Litigation

   Second quarter fiscal 1993 earnings included a charge of $15 million in
   connection with the settlement of two securities class action lawsuits
   brought against the Company and certain of its current and former officers
   by purchasers of the Company's stock and debentures.

Future operating results
   
   The transition to the Solaris 2 operating environment, which began in fiscal
   1993, has continued into fiscal 1994.  The success of this transition is
   critical, as the Company expects to generate significant revenue in fiscal 
   1994 from products that operate exclusively in the Solaris 2 environment.  
   New system shipments will continue to depend, in part, upon the continuing 
   efforts of independent software vendors to port application software to the
   new operating environment, as well as the acceptance and migration of 
   customers to Solaris 2.





                                     Page 9
<PAGE>   10
   The Company expects that the markets for its products and technology, as
   well as its competitors within such markets, will continue to change as the
   rightsizing trend shifts customer buying patterns to distributed systems
   employing multiple-platform networks.  In addition, improvements in
   microprocessor performance in products introduced, or to be introduced, by
   Intel Corporation and Motorola, Inc., coupled with enhanced operating system
   software introduced by Microsoft Corporation, are expected to improve the
   price/performance characteristics of certain networked personal computer
   solutions.  These developments are expected to provide competitive pressure,
   particularly at the low end of the Company's product range, where customers
   are more price sensitive and the systems environment is less complex.  The
   Company's future operating results will depend, in part, on its ability to
   compete in microprocessor technology and operating system software.

   Further, the Company's future operating results will depend to a
   considerable extent on its ability to rapidly and continuously develop,
   introduce and deliver in quantity new hardware and software products that
   offer its customers enhanced performance at competitive prices.  Inherent in
   this process are a number of risks.  The development of new, high
   performance computer products is a complex and uncertain process requiring
   high levels of innovation from both the Company's designers and those of its
   suppliers, as well as accurate anticipation of customer requirements and
   technological trends.  Once a hardware product is developed, the Company
   must rapidly bring it into volume manufacturing, a process that requires
   accurate forecasting of both volumes and configurations, among other things,
   in order to achieve acceptable yields and costs.  The Company is
   increasingly dependent on the ability of its suppliers to deliver advanced
   components required for the timely introduction of new products and, if
   necessary, makes advance payments under contracts with certain of its
   suppliers.  The failure of any of these suppliers to deliver components on
   time could result in a significant adverse impact on the Company's operating
   results.  The production of sufficient quantities of advanced components on
   a timely basis entails both design risk and manufacturing risk.  The
   inability to secure enough components to build products, including new
   products, in the quantities and configurations required, or to produce, test
   and deliver sufficient products to meet demand in a timely manner, would
   adversely affect the Company's net revenues and operating results.  The
   production and introduction of new or enhanced products also requires the
   Company to manage the transition from older, displaced products in order to
   minimize disruptions in customer ordering patterns and excessive levels of
   older product inventory and to ensure that adequate supplies of new products
   can be delivered to meet customer demand.  Because the Company is
   continuously engaged in this product development and transition process, its
   operating results may be subject to considerable fluctuation, particularly
   when measured on a quarterly basis.

   Generally, the computer systems sold by Sun are the result of both hardware
   and software development, so that delays in software development can delay
   the ability of the Company to ship new hardware products.  In addition,
   adoption of a new release of an operating system, such as the Solaris 2
   operating environment, typically requires effort on the part of the customer
   as well as software porting by software vendors providing applications.  As
   a result, the timing of conversion to a new release is inherently
   unpredictable.  Moreover, delays in adoption of a new release of an
   operating system by customers can limit the acceptability of hardware
   products tied to that release.  In either situation, the future operating
   results of the Company could be adversely affected.

   The Company's operating results will also be affected by the volume, mix and
   timing of orders received during a period and by conditions both in the
   computer industry and in the general economy, such as  recessionary periods,
   political instability, changes in trade policies and fluctuations in
   interest or currency exchange rates.  As the Company has reduced delivery
   lead times, backlog levels have declined as a percentage of revenue.
   Increasingly, the Company must generate a higher percentage of revenue from
   new order bookings in the same fiscal period.  As the Company has become
   more global, seasonality has become a factor, particularly in the first
   quarter of each fiscal year.  In addition, the Company's operating expenses
   are increasing as the Company continues to expand its operations, and future
   operating results will be adversely affected if revenues do not increase
   accordingly.  The ability of the Company to match supply and demand is
   further complicated by the need to take pricing actions in response to
   competitive pressures, which may result in the Company not being able to
   correctly anticipate the demand for the mix of products following those
   pricing actions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   Total assets at December 26, 1993 decreased by approximately $158.1 million
   from June 30, 1993, due principally to decreases in cash, cash equivalents
   and short-term investments ($269.1 million), offset by an increase in
   accounts receivable ($115.1 million).  Cash decreased principally due to the
   completion in November 1993 of the planned repurchase of approximately 10
   million shares of the Company's common stock.  The increase in accounts
   receivable is primarily due to a longer collection cycle in the second
   quarter of fiscal 1994 when compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 1993,
   resulting in days sales outstanding increasing to 59 days from 45 days over
   that same period.

   Total liabilities increased approximately $15.2 million from June 30, 1993.
   The increase is primarily attributable to increases in accrued liabilities
   for payments due under contractual obligations, as well as increases in
   accounts payable, offset by income tax payments made and scheduled debt
   repayments.

   At December 26, 1993, the Company's primary sources of liquidity consisted
   of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $870 million;
   uncommitted lines of credit available to the Company's international
   subsidiaries totalling approximately $426 million, of which approximately
   $337 million was available; and a revolving credit facility with banks
   aggregating $300 million, all of which was available. The Company believes
   that the liquidity provided by existing cash and short-term investment
   balances and the borrowing arrangements described above will be sufficient
   to meet the Company's capital requirements through fiscal 1994.  However,
   the Company believes the level of financial resources is a significant
   competitive factor in its industry and may choose at any time to raise
   additional capital through debt or equity financings to strengthen its
   financial position, to facilitate growth and to provide the Company with
   additional flexibility to take advantage of business opportunities that may
   arise.

</TABLE>


   The seven nominees who received the highest number of votes were elected to
   the Board of Directors.  Votes withheld from any nominee were counted for
   purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum.


   The stockholders also approved an amendment to the Company's 1988 Directors'
   Stock Option Plan which increased the number of shares of Common Stock
   reserved for issuance thereunder by 200,000 shares to an aggregate of
   400,000 shares.  There were 67,390,317 votes cast for the amendment,
   15,002,794 votes cast against the amendment and 239,620 abstentions.  The
   affirmative votes of the stockholders of a majority of the shares of the
   Company's Common Stock present or represented and "entitled to vote" at the
   Annual Meeting on the amendment to the 1988 Directors' Stock Option Plan was
   required to approve this amendment.  Votes cast against the proposal were
   counted for the purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum
   for the transaction of business and the total number of shares present or
   represented and entitled to vote on the proposal.  Votes cast against were
   also counted for purposes of determining whether the affirmative vote of a
   majority of the shares present or represented and entitled to vote on the
   proposal had been obtained, and were treated as votes against the proposal.
   While there is no definitive statutory or case law authority in Delaware as
   to proper treatment of abstentions in the counting of votes with respect to
   a proposal such as the amendment to the 1988 Directors' Stock Option Plan,
   the Company believes that abstentions should be counted for purposes of
   determining both the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of
   business and the total number of shares present or represented and entitled
   to vote on the proposal.  The Company treated abstentions on this proposal
   in this manner.  In a 1988 Delaware case, Berlin v. Emerald Partners, the
   Delaware Supreme Court held that broker non-votes may be counted for
   purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the
   transaction of business.  There were no broker non-votes with respect to
   this proposal.


   The stockholders also ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young as
   independent auditors to the Company for the 1994 fiscal year.  There were
   82,055,893 votes for the ratification, 129,155 votes against the
   ratification and 47,683 abstentions.  Abstentions were counted as present
   for the purposes of determining if a quorum was present.  There were no
   broker non-votes with respect to this matter.
