HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED  
AND SUBSIDIARIES 
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 
 
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION 
 
The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the  
three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 have not been audited  
by the Company's independent auditors; however, in the opinion of  
management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated  
Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal  
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial  
position of the Company and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1995 and  
the results of their operations and their cash flows for the periods  
presented. 
 
The results of operations for the three months ended September 30,  
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the  
full year. 
 
NOTE B - ACQUISITIONS 
 
On August 30, 1995, Harman International Industries, Incorporated,  
exercised its option to purchase the remaining 80% of the issued and  
outstanding shares of Madrigal Audio Laboratories, Inc. ("Madrigal"),  
increasing its ownership to 100%.  Harman paid approximately $9.8  
million for the remaining shares and related acquisition costs.  Harman  
funded its acquisition of Madrigal utilizing its revolving credit facility. 
 
The results of operations for the first quarter ended September 30, 1995,  
include the results of Madrigal for July 1, 1995 through September 30,  
1995, as the acquisition was made effective July 1, 1995. 
 
NOTE C - STOCK DIVIDEND 
 
In August 1995, the Company declared a special 5 percent stock  
dividend to stockholders of record on August 11, 1995, payable on  
August 25, 1995.  Outstanding shares and earnings per share have been  
retroactively restated to give effect to the stock dividend.  In accordance  
with ARB 43, the stock dividend was accounted for by transferring from  
retained earnings to the common stock and additional paid-in capital  
accounts an amount equal to the fair value of the additional shares  
issued.

HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED  
AND SUBSIDIARIES 
 
ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE  
		RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION 
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
- ------------------------------------ 
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994 
 
Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, totaled $300.5  
million, a 31 percent increase over the comparable period in the prior  
year.  Excluding Becker, which was not represented in the first quarter  
of last year, sales increased 14 percent.  The Professional, Consumer and  
Automotive OEM Groups all reported higher sales. 
 
The Professional Group contributed solid sales growth.  JBL  
Professional reported higher sales, driven in large part by the success of  
the EON product line.  Lexicon's sales increased on the strength of a  
number of well-received new digital products, including the PCM80 and  
NuVerb digital processors and the 500T touch screen remote control.   
AKG and DOD also produced excellent sales increases. 
 
The Consumer Group reported higher sales despite difficult market  
conditions in China, which adversely affected JBL loudspeaker sales.   
Harman Kardon had an excellent quarter due to strong demand for both  
the Citation line of home theater components and its expanded line of  
audio/video receivers.  Infinity delivered higher sales for the quarter, led  
by the acclaimed new Compositions home theater loudspeaker system.   
First quarter sales of consumer electronics and loudspeakers in Europe  
were especially robust. 
 
The Automotive Group produced excellent results for the quarter.  Sales  
growth was partially attributable to Becker, which was not represented  
in the first quarter last year.  Shipments of high fidelity systems for the  
Chrysler Minivan, Ford Explorer and the Jeep Grand Cherokee were  
vigorous.  The success of the new Toyota Avalon, which features a high- 
end audio system supplied by the Automotive OEM Group, also  
contributed to the results. 
 
The gross profit margin for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, was  
29.8 percent ($89.5 million) compared to 33.2 percent ($75.9 million) in  
the prior year.  The decrease in the gross margin percentage primarily  
reflects the inclusion of Becker.

<PAGE> 
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales  
decreased to 24.4 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 1995,  
from 27.0 percent in the comparable period in the prior year.  The  
decrease reflects lower spending as a percentage of sales for advertising,  
marketing, promotion and general and administrative expenses. 
 
Operating income as a percentage of sales was 5.4 percent ($16.3  
million) for the first quarter ended September 30, 1995, compared with  
6.2 percent ($14.2 million) for the same period in the prior year.  The  
decrease reflects the inclusion of Becker, at essentially a break-even. 
 
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1995,  
increased to $6.9 million from $5.7 million reported in the comparable  
period in the prior year due to higher average borrowings.  Average  
borrowings outstanding were $323.8 million for the quarter, up from  
$244.3 million for the same period a year ago.  The increase in average  
borrowings results from the Becker and Madrigal acquisitions and the  
financing of increased working capital requirements associated with  
higher sales volumes.  
 
The impact of the increase in average borrowings on interest expense  
was partially offset by a substantial reduction in the average interest rate  
on borrowings.  The average interest rate on borrowings was 8.6 percent  
for the first quarter ended September 30, 1995, down from 9.4 percent  
for the quarter ended September 30, 1994.  The decrease in average  
interest rates for the quarter results from the refinancing of unsecured  
lines of credit with a committed revolving credit facility agreement which  
was completed September 30, 1994.  Additionally, the repayment and  
retirement of long-term debt, which generally carried higher interest  
rates than short-term debt, contributed to the decrease in the average  
interest rate on borrowings.  Interest expense as a percentage of sales  
was 2.3 percent for the first quarter ended September 30, 1995, down  
from 2.5 percent for the comparable period in the previous year. 
 
Income before income taxes, minority interest and extraordinary items  
for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was $9.1 million, up from $7.1 million  
in the previous year. 
 
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was 34.5 percent  
compared with 39.8 percent in the same period a year ago.  The decrease  
in the effective tax rate for the quarter results from the restructuring of  
certain foreign subsidiaries to take advantage of prior year tax losses.   
The Company calculates its taxes based upon its best estimate of annual  
results.

<PAGE> 
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1995, was $5.9  
million, or $0.36 per share, compared with $4.2 million, or $0.26 per  
share, in the previous year.  Prior year earnings per share data has been  
restated to give effect to the special 5 percent stock dividend declared  
and paid in August 1995. 
 
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION 
- --------------------------------- 
 
Net working capital at September 30, 1995, was $315.0 million,  
compared with $257.6 million at June 30, 1995.  The increase results  
from the Becker and Madrigal acquisitions, higher inventories on-hand in  
anticipation of the Christmas selling season, higher receivables associated  
with strong sales volume late in the quarter and higher prepaid balances  
associated with upcoming trade shows and advertising campaigns. 
 
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility at September 30, 1995,  
were $173.3 million, composed of swing line borrowings, which are  
included in notes payable, of $9.8 million and competitive advance  
borrowings and revolving credit borrowings of $163.5 million. 
 
Other changes in the Company's balance sheet from June 30, 1995, the  
end of the preceding fiscal year, are as follows: 
 
 - Accrued liabilities decreased $13.8 million, from $164.1 million to 
    $150.3 million, primarily due to federal income tax payments and 
    foreign currency translation effects. 
 
 - Other assets decreased $4.0 million, from $21.9 million to $17.9 
    million, resulting from the elimination of the September 1993 $2.5 
    million investment in Madrigal, which is now a consolidated 
    subsidiary.
