BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sun
   Microsystems, Inc. ("Sun" or "The Company") and its wholly-owned
   subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

   While the quarterly financial information furnished is unaudited, the
   financial statements included in this report reflect all adjustments
   (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) that the Company considers
   necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the
   interim periods covered and of the financial condition of the Company at the
   date of the interim balance sheet.  The results for interim periods are not
   necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.  The information

INCOME TAXES

   The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method of Statement
   of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109.  The provision for income taxes
   during the interim periods considers anticipated annual income before taxes,
   research and development tax credits, earnings of foreign subsidiaries
   permanently invested in foreign operations, and other differences.


CONTINGENCY

   In March, 1990, Sun received a letter from Texas Instruments Incorporated
   ("TI") alleging that a substantial number of Sun's products infringe certain
   of TI's patents.  Based on initial discussions with TI, Sun believes that it
   will be able to negotiate a license agreement with TI and that the outcome of
   this matter will not have a material adverse impact on Sun's financial
   position or its results of operations or cash flows in any given fiscal year.

   Such a negotiated license may or may not have a material adverse impact on
   Sun's results of operations or cash flows in a given fiscal quarter depending
   upon various factors including but not limited to the structure and amount of
   royalty payments, offsetting consideration from TI, if any, and the
   allocation of royalties between past and future product shipments, none of
   which can be forecast with reasonable certainty at this time.

ACCOUNTING CHANGE

   In fiscal 1995, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
   Statement No. 115 (FAS 115), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
   Equity Securities." Under FAS 115, debt securities that the Company has both
   the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized
   cost.  Debt securities that the Company does not have the positive intent and
   ability to hold to maturity and all marketable equity securities are
   classified as either available-for-sale or trading and are carried at fair
   value.  Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as
   available-for-sale are carried as a separate component of stockholders'
   equity.  Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as
   trading are reported in earnings.

   Cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments with
   insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of three months or
   less at date of acquisition.   Short-term investments consist primarily of
   auction market preferred stock, commercial paper and tax-exempt securities
   with original maturities beyond three months and less than twelve months.
   Auction market preferred stock is traded at par and carries a floating rate
   dividend that is paid and reset, at intervals of 49 days or less, through a
   bidding process that determines the yield.  All of the Company's short-term
   investments and cash equivalents are classified as available-for-sale at
   January 1, 1995.  The adoption of FAS 115 resulted in an impact to
   stockholders' equity that was not material as of the date of adoption, July
   1, 1994,  or as of the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 1995.  Gross realized
   gains and gross realized losses on sales of available-for-sale securities for
   the quarter and six months ended January 1, 1995  were immaterial.

</TABLE>


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   Operating results in the first half of fiscal 1995 improved over the
   comparable period of fiscal 1994 due primarily to increased demand for more
   richly configured desktop and server products.  Strong demand for the
   SPARCstation 5, SPARCserver 1000 and SPARCstation 20 products, high growth in
   revenues from add-on memory, storage options and accessories, and increased
   availability of memory component supplies in the second quarter have produced
   very favorable operating results for Sun thus far in fiscal 1995.  Operating
   results in the second half of this fiscal year will depend in part on the
   Company's ability to  manage planned product enhancements in order to
   minimize disruptions in customer ordering patterns, reduce levels of older
   inventory and ensure that adequate supplies of new products can be delivered
   to meet customer demand.

   The Company operates in a highly competitive industry characterized by
   increasingly aggressive pricing.  Increased demand for Sun's higher
   performance desktop and server products, reductions in component costs and
   increased operating efficiencies have, to date, significantly offset the
   effects of Sun's product price reductions.  Future operating results will
   depend on additional component cost reductions, further operating
   efficiencies and the mix of systems, software and other products, which in
   turn depend in part on the Company's ability to generate revenues through
   increased system, service and software license volumes. Sun's future
   operating results will also depend on the continued acceptance and migration
   of customers to the Solaris 2 software environment, as well as the efforts of
   independent software vendors to develop new, and port existing, application
   software.


                                       8

NET REVENUES

   Net revenues were $1.48 billion for the second quarter and $2.75 billion for
   the first six months of fiscal 1995, representing increases of 30.5 percent
   and 31.4 percent, respectively, over the comparable periods of fiscal 1994.
   System unit shipments grew by 34 percent and 41 percent for the second
   quarter and for the first six months of this fiscal year, respectively as
   compared to the same periods of fiscal 1994.  This growth is attributable in
   part to the strong demand experienced in the second quarter for the
   SPARCstation 5, SPARCserver 1000 and SPARCstation 20.  Slightly less than
   half of the growth in net revenues for both periods resulted from increased
   revenues from memory, storage options and accessories shipped both to new
   customers purchasing more richly configured systems and to installed base
   customers.   When compared with the respective periods of fiscal 1994,
   aftermarket revenues from services, software and other businesses increased
   in absolute dollars for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal
   1995 but declined as a percent of net revenues primarily due to the increases
   in system unit shipments.

   Domestic net revenues increased by 38 percent and 33 percent while
   international net revenues (including United States exports) grew 24 percent
   and 30 percent in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1995,
   respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of fiscal 1994.  Europe
   net revenues increased 26 percent and 35 percent while net revenues in the
   Rest of World increased 21 percent and 25 percent in the second quarter and
   first six months of fiscal 1995, respectively, when compared with the same
   periods of fiscal 1994 due primarily to the continued strengthening of
   international markets, principally central and northern Europe, and Asia.
   International net revenues represented 49 percent of total net revenues in
   the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1995, compared with 52
   percent and 50 percent for each of the comparable periods of fiscal 1994.

   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 weakened against most major European currencies as well
   as against the Japanese yen.  Management has estimated that the net impact of
   currency fluctuations on operating results, while slightly favorable, was not
   significant in the second quarter or first six months of fiscal 1995.


GROSS MARGIN

   Gross margin was 41.6 percent for the second quarter and 40.9 percent for the
   first six months of fiscal 1995, compared with 41.7 percent and 41.3 percent,
   respectively for the corresponding periods of fiscal 1994.  The slight
   decrease in gross margin for the periods compared reflects the effects of
   increased shipments of lower price-point desktop systems partially offset by
   a richer mix of revenues from more richly configured desktop systems and
   higher margin servers, as well as favorable manufacturing variances resulting
   from higher volumes.

   Systems repricing actions may be initiated in the future, which could result
   in downward pressure on gross margin.  This margin pressure could be
   mitigated by increased software licensing, a change in the systems mix to
   higher margin products such as servers, or by other favorable product or
   geographical mix shifts.  In addition, the pressure could be mitigated by
   component cost reductions and operating efficiencies generated by higher unit
   volumes.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

   Research and development (R&D) expenses were $131.9 million in the second
   quarter and $251.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 1995, compared
   with $111.4 and $219.3  million for the same periods of fiscal 1994.  As a
   percentage of net revenues, R&D expenses decreased to 8.9 percent and 9.1
   percent for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1995,
   respectively, from 9.8 percent and 10.5 percent in the comparable periods of
   the prior year.   The decrease as a percent of net revenues is primarily due
   to the increase in revenues in both the second quarter and first six months
   of fiscal 1995 over the comparable periods of fiscal 1994. Slightly less than
   half of the dollar increases reflect increases in compensation based
   principally on the achievement of specified performance goals.  The increases
   also result from the Company's continuing emphasis on technological
   advancement for both hardware and software products, as well as
   microprocessor technologies.  To maintain its competitive position in the
   industry, the Company expects to continue to invest significant resources in
   new hardware, software and microprocessor product development, as well as in
   enhancements to existing products.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

   Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $364.3 million in
   the second quarter and $ 703.2 million in the first six months of fiscal
   1995, representing  increases of $69.4 million (23.6 percent) and $139.3
   million (24.7 percent), respectively, from the corresponding periods of
   fiscal 1994. As a percentage of net revenues, SG&A expenses were 24.7 percent
   and 25.6 percent in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1995,
   respectively, and 26.1 and 27.0 percent, respectively, in the comparable
   periods of fiscal 1994.  Approximately half of the dollar increases are
   attributable to increases in compensation based principally on the
   achievement of specified performance goals. The dollar increases also reflect
   investments in demand creation programs, including various marketing and
   promotional activities for new software products. The decrease as a percent
   of net revenues in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1995
   reflects, in part, the increase in revenues in both the second quarter and
   first six months of fiscal 1995 as well as the Company's ongoing efforts to
   reduce the level of SG&A expenses over time through improvements in business
   processes and cycle times.

INTEREST INCOME, NET

   Net interest income was $3.1 million for the second quarter and $5.8 million
   for the first six months of fiscal 1995, compared with $.8 million and $1.4
   million, respectively, in net interest income for the corresponding periods
   in fiscal 1994.  The increase is primarily the result of higher interest
   earned on investments as well as interest savings from scheduled debt
   repayments.

INCOME TAXES

   The Company's effective income tax rate for the second quarter and first six
   months of fiscal 1995, was 32 percent compared with 34 percent for the
   corresponding periods of fiscal 1994, prior to the one-time credit of $5.9
   million resulting from the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993.  The
   decrease in the fiscal 1995 rates compared with the 34 percent for the
   corresponding periods of fiscal 1994 is primarily due to increased earnings
   of foreign subsidiaries permanently invested in foreign operations.

FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

   The computer industry is marked by rapidly changing technology and increasing
   competition. 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 solutions from multiple vendors.  In addition,
   improvements in hardware and operating system software products introduced,
   or to be introduced, by competing companies are expected to improve the
   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.  Therefore, 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 competitive new hardware, software and service products, as well as
   new microprocessor technologies, that offer its customers enhanced
   performance at competitive prices.

   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.  The Company is increasingly
   dependent on the ability of its suppliers to design, manufacture and deliver
   advanced components required for the timely introduction of new products. The
   failure of any of these suppliers to deliver components on time or in
   sufficient quantities could result in a significant adverse impact on the
   Company's operating results. 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 make advanced payments, if necessary, under contracts with certain
   suppliers.  In addition, in order to secure components for development of new
   products, the Company frequently enters into non-cancelable purchase
   commitments with vendors early in the design process.  Due to the variability
   of material requirement specifications during the design process, the Company
   must closely manage material purchase commitments and their respective
   delivery schedules. 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 must also manage the
   transition from older, displaced products in order to minimize disruptions in
   customer ordering patterns, reduce levels of older product inventory and
   ensure that adequate supplies of new products can be delivered to meet
   customer demand.  The ability of the Company to match supply and demand is
   further complicated by the need to take pricing actions, which may result in
   the Company not being able to correctly anticipate the demand for the mix of
   products following those pricing actions. Because the Company is continuously
   engaged in this product development, introduction 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 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.  Such delays could adversely affect
   the future operating results of the Company.

   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.  The Company's customer order backlog at  January
   1, 1995 was approximately $281 million, approximately $57 million lower than
   the backlog level of $338 million at June 30, 1994.  The reduction in the
   backlog level is primarily due to reduced customer lead times resulting from
   increased availability of memory component supplies in the second quarter.
   Backlog only includes orders for which a delivery schedule within six months
   has been specified by the customer. Backlog levels vary with demand, product
   availability and the Company's delivery lead times and are subject to
   decreases as a result of customer order delays, changes or cancellations.  As
   such, backlog levels may not be a reliable indicator of future operating
   results.  As delivery lead times continue to decrease, the Company must
   generate a higher percentage of revenue from new order bookings in the same
   fiscal period.

   Seasonality  also affects the Company's operating results, 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 Company expects to continue efforts to achieve
   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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   Total assets at January 1, 1995 increased by approximately $82.6 million from
   June 30, 1994, due principally to increases in net property, plant and
   equipment ($39.4 million) and other current assets ($34.4 million).  Net
   property, plant and equipment increased primarily due to the purchase of
   operating facilities in the second quarter of fiscal 1995.   Other current
   assets increased partly as the result of increases in the Company's deferred
   tax assets.

   Total liabilities decreased approximately $64.6 million from June 30, 1994,
   due principally to decreases in accounts payable ($94.2 million) and
   long-term debt and other obligations ($40.4 million) offset by increases in
   accrued liabilities ($72.9 million).  Accounts payable decreased due to
   increased linearity of inventory receipts in the second quarter of fiscal
   1995, compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994.  Approximately 80%
   less inventory was received in the last few weeks of the second quarter than
   was received in the comparable period of the fourth quarter of the prior
   year.  Long-term debt and other obligations decreased as a result of
   scheduled debt repayments.  Accrued liabilities increased partly due to
   increases in accrued compensation costs.

   At January 1, 1995, the Company's primary sources of liquidity consisted of
   cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $879 million;
   uncommitted lines of credit available to the Company's international
   subsidiaries totalling approximately $478 million, of which approximately
   $445 million was available; and a revolving credit facility with banks
   aggregating $150 million, all of which was available subject to compliance
   with certain covenants.  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 1995.  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, facilitate growth and
   provide the Company with additional flexibility to take advantage of business
   opportunities that may arise.

   The six 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 1990 Employee
   Stock Purchase Plan which increased the number of shares of Common Stock
   reserved for issuance thereunder by 1,250,000 shares to an aggregate of
   7,550,000 shares. There were 76,678,106 votes cast for the amendment,
   3,198,517 votes against the amendment and 764,667 abstentions.  Additionally,
   the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's 1990 Long-Term Equity
   Incentive Plan which (i) increased the number of shares of Common Stock
   reserved for issuance thereunder by 3,350,000 shares to an aggregate of
   13,250,000 shares of Common Stock and (ii) provided for certain specific
   limitations on the grant of stock options to employees, including executive
   officers, of the Company.  There were 53,862,349 votes cast for the
   amendments, 25,976,532 votes cast against the amendments and 802,409
   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 amendments to the 1990 Employee Stock
   Purchase Plan and 1990 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan were required to
   approve these amendments.  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 proposals such as the
   above-described plan amendments, 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 these proposals.
