Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On February 27, 1995, Harman International Industries,
Incorporated ("Harman") completed its acquisition of 100 percent of
the outstanding shares of Becker GmbH ("Becker") with satisfaction
of all conditions remaining after the execution of the share
purchase agreement (the "Agreement") dated February 16, 1995
between Harman, Roland Becker and Becker Holding S.A.  Becker is a
leading German manufacturer of automotive OEM and consumer
automotive aftermarket electronics.  

Under the terms of the Agreement, Harman paid 9.0 million
Deutschmarks (approximately $6.0 million) and 400,000 shares of
Harman common stock in consideration for all of the issued and
outstanding stock of Becker GmbH, Becker Holding GmbH and Becker
Service und Verwaltungs-GmbH and forgiveness of certain obligations
of Becker due to the selling parties and affiliates.  Harman
assumed post-acquisition indebtedness of Becker of 86.0 million
Deutschmarks (approximately $57.7 million).  Harman funded its
acquisition of Becker utilizing its revolving credit facility.

Becker, founded in 1945 by Max Egon Becker, is headquartered in
Karlsbad, Germany, and has subsidiary operations in South Africa
and the United States.  Becker manufactures and markets automotive
OEM radios and other automotive OEM electronics as well as
automotive aftermarket radios.  Becker's principal automotive OEM
customer is Mercedes. Principal manufacturing facilities are
located in Karlsbad, Germany and Woerth-Schaidt, Germany.  Harman
currently intends to continue to use Becker's facilities for the
same purposes as they were previously used.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT

To the Board of Directors of
Becker Holding GmbH and Becker GmbH

We have audited the combined balance sheet of Becker Holding GmbH
and Becker GmbH and their respective subsidiaries as of December
31, 1994 and the related combined statements of income,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States.  Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Becker
Holding GmbH and Becker GmbH combined and their respective
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994

(In thousands of Deutschmarks (DEM) unless otherwise stated)


1.   Operations and ownership

          The Companies' principal business is the design,
          manufacture and marketing of radios for automobiles. 
          Products are manufactured and sold in Germany and
          internationally under the "Becker" brand name.  The
          company is an original equipment supplier to a number of
          automobile manufacturers including Daimler Benz and BMW.

          As of December 31, 1994, the Companies are wholly owned by
          Mr Roland Becker of Courtedoux, Switzerland.  As more
          fully described in Note 15, the Companies were sold to
          Harman International Industries Incorporated under terms
          of an agreement dated February 16, 1995.


2.   Summary of significant accounting policies
          
          Presentation of the financial statements
          -----------------------------------------------

          In connection with the acquisition of the Companies by
          Harman International Industries Incorporated, the
          Companies prepared combined financial statements in
          accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
          principles.  During 1993 there was a major restructuring
          of the  companies  which would render any combination of
          Balance Sheets, Statements of Income and Cash Flows for
          the year ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 misleading.  For
          this reason, comparative information is excluded.


          Combination principles
          -----------------------------

          The combined financial statements include Becker Holding
          GmbH, Becker GmbH, Becker Service und  Verwaltung  GmbH,
          Becker of North America Inc and Becker Automotive (Pty)
          Limited.  Because there is no sole holding entity for
          these entities the financial statements are prepared as a
          combination in which intercompany balances and
          transactions as well as unrealized profit in intercompany
          inventories have been eliminated.
                                 13
<PAGE>
          Foreign currency translation
          ----------------------------------

          Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are
          translated to Deutschmarks at foreign exchange rates
          prevailing at the balance sheet dates.  Statements of
          Income of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the
          average rates for the year.  Translation gains and losses
          resulting from the application of these rates in 1994 are
          not included in the determination of net income but are
          shown in the Statement of  Shareholders' Deficit. 
          Cumulative translation adjustments from previous years
          have not been separately calculated.

 
          Income recognition
          -----------------------
          Revenue is recognised upon shipment of goods.


          Inventories
          -------------

          Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. 
          Cost is determined principally by the first-in, first-out
          method.  Provisions for slow moving and obsolete articles
          are provided by using a systematic reserve calculation
          based on production requirements or other appropriate
          procedures.


          Property, plant and equipment
          ------------------------------------
          Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost or in
          the case of major capital leases at the present value of
          the minimum future lease payments.

          Depreciation and amortization is provided primarily using
          the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
          of the assets from 2 to 50 years.

          Income taxes
          ----------------
          Income taxes payable are currently provided for based on
          the taxable results reported by each individual
          subsidiary.  Deferred taxes are provided on timing
          differences between the results reported for tax and
          financial purposes using the liability method.  No
          deferred taxes are recognised for future benefits
          resulting from net operating losses because the
          realizability is highly uncertain due to the history of
          losses and therefore are fully reserved.
                                 14

          Research and development
          --------------------------------
          Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. 
          The  Companies' expenditures for research and development
          for the year ended December 31, 1994 amounted to
          Deutschmarks 35.6 millions.

10.  The Companies in Germany and South Africa have incurred
     substantial losses in the years ended December 31, 1993 and
     1994. The level of accumulated losses, when compared to
     projected business plans is such that it is unlikely that the
     accumulated tax loss carried forward will be absorbed in the
     foreseeable future. Accordingly, no defferred tax debit has
     been acccounted for in respect of timing differences. 

11.  Subordinated debt

          Subordinated debt comprises current loans for which the
          holders gave consent to subordinate their claims to those
          of other creditors as follows:

12.  Business segments                            

          The Companies' predominant business is the design,
          manufacture and marketing of automobile radio products. 
          The Companies have operations in Germany and
          internationally.  For the year ended December 31, 1994
          details of net sales by these geographic segments were:

          Germany                                          219,161
          International                                     79,727
          Intercompany elimination                         ( 2,065)
                                                          _________
               Total                                       296,823 
                                                          =========

          Practically all of the Company's assets are located in
          Germany.  The Company's accounting for the year do not
          permit any meaningful analysis of the results of
          operations by geographic segment.

13.       Pensions

          The Companies and their subsidiaries have various
          different pension schemes in place depending on local
          regulations and practices.  Besides governmental pension
          plans, defined benefit plans exist in Germany and South
          Africa.  Both plans were actuarially valued at December
          31, 1994 in accordance with FASB 87 and appropriate
          provisions included in the balance sheets. 

14.       Commitments and contingencies

          The Companies and their subsidiaries are involved in
          several legal actions arising out of normal operations
          with customers, suppliers and former employees.  The
          outcome of these actions cannot be predicted at this
          moment.  However, management, based on legal advice,
          believes such actions are either without merit or do not
          represent a material liability in excess of amounts
          specifically provided for such cases.
 
          Commitments as of December 31, 1994 arising out of normal
          business operations include outstanding letters of credit
          of approximately Deutschmarks 50 thousand.

15.       Subsequent event

          Under the terms of an agreement dated February 16, 1995
          Mr Roland Becker sold the Companies to Harman
          International Industries Incorporated (Harman) effective
          January 1, 1995 subject to the fulfilment of certain
          conditions.  Those conditions were met on February 27,
          1995.  The agreement includes provision for the
          forgiveness by Roland Becker of amounts payable to him by
          the Companies amounting to DM 36.2 millions and for the
          forgiveness of bank debt amounting to DM 10 millions.

          The combined balance sheet of the Companies after such
          forgiveness at January 1, 1995 can be summarized as
          follows: 
                                                          DEM

          Current assets                                 67,120 
          Non-current assets                             51,092  
          Current liabilities                          (156,425)

          It is Harman managements' intention to continue to
          operate the business of the Companies and their
          subsidiaries on a going concern basis including
          respective financing as necessary.

               Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data

The following tables present consolidated statements of operations
for the Company and Becker Holding GmbH and Becker GmbH and their
respective subsidiaries for the twelve months ended June 30, 1994,
giving effect to the Becker acquisition as of July 1, 1993, and the
six months ended December 31, 1994, giving effect to the Becker
acquisition as of July 1, 1994.  A pro forma balance sheet as of
December 31, 1994, is also presented.  The financial data for
Becker for both periods presented are derived from quarterly
unaudited financial statements.  The financial data for Harman
International for the six months ended December 31, 1994, are
derived from quarterly unaudited financial statements.  The pro
forma financial data presented do not purport to represent what the
Company's results of operations would have been had such
transactions occurred at the beginning of the periods presented or
to project the Company's results of operations for any future
period.

The pro forma statements of operations and balance sheet
adjustments are based upon preliminary estimates of the Company. 
The actual amount of these adjustments may vary from these
estimates, and will not be determined until the Company completes
its review of Becker's business and valuation of assets and
liabilities.  The Company believes that the actual amount of these
adjustments, in the aggregate, will not vary materially from these
estimates.  German marks were converted to U.S. dollars based on
the average exchange rates for the period for the pro forma
statements of operations and at the prevailing rate at December 31,
1994 for the pro forma balance sheet.

     $20,519 and an increase in operating income of $ 2,187.  No amounts

     1994.
