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 and six months ended December 31, 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   
December 31, 1995 and the results of their operations and their cash   
flows for the periods presented.  
  
The results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 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 six months ended December 31, 1995,   
include the results of Madrigal for July 1, 1995 through December 31,   
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.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE   
		RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION  
  
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  
- ------------------------------------  
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTH AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED   
DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994  
  
Net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1995, totaled $348.7   
million, a 21 percent increase over the comparable period in the prior   
year.  For the first half of the year, sales increased 25 percent to $649.1   
million.  Excluding recent acquisitions which were not represented in   
the first six months of last year, sales increased 5 percent for the quarter   
and 8 percent for the first half.  
  
The Professional Group contributed higher sales for the second quarter   
and the first half.  JBL Professional reported higher sales for the first   
half, driven in large part by the success of the EON product line.  AKG   
produced excellent sales growth for the second quarter and the first half   
on the strength of new models of wireless microphones and headphones.  
  
The Consumer Group reported modestly higher sales for the second   
quarter and the first half despite weakness in the United States retail   
environment which adversely affected JBL and Infinity loudspeaker   
sales.  Harman Kardon generated increased sales for the second quarter   
and the first half due to strong demand for the Citation line of home   
theater components and its expanded line of audio/video receivers.    
Sales of consumer electronics and loudspeakers in Europe were robust   
in the second quarter and the first half.  
  
The OEM Group (formerly the Automotive OEM Group) produced   
higher sales for the second quarter and the first half.  Sales growth was   
partially attributable to Becker, which was not represented in the first   
half 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 OEM Group, also contributed to the results.  The   
name of the group has been changed to reflect its expanded mission to   
provide OEM audio products for additional markets, such as audio for   
computers.  
  
The gross profit margin for the quarter ended December 31, 1995, was   
31.0 percent ($107.9 million) compared to 31.5 percent ($90.8 million)   
in the prior year.  The gross profit margin for the first half of fiscal 1996  
7  
<PAGE>  
was 30.4 percent ($197.4 million) compared to 32.2 percent ($166.7   
million) in the previous year.  The decrease in the gross margin   
percentage in the quarter and the first half primarily reflects the   
inclusion of Becker.  
  
Operating income as a percentage of sales was 8.7 percent ($30.4   
million) for the second quarter ended December 31, 1995, compared   
with 8.6 percent ($24.8 million) for the same period in the prior year.    
The increase for the second quarter results from reduced selling, general   
and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales.  For the first half,   
operating income as a percentage of sales was 7.2 percent compared   
with 7.5 percent for the first half of fiscal 1995.   The decrease reflects   
the inclusion of Becker, at essentially a break-even.  
  
Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 1995,   
increased to $7.5 million from $6.2 million reported in the comparable   
period in the prior year due to higher average borrowings.  For the six   
months ended December 31, 1995, interest expense was $14.5 million,   
up from $11.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 1994.    
Average borrowings outstanding were $366.8 million for the second   
quarter of fiscal 1996 and $343.1 million for the first half, up from   
$263.4 million and $252.5 million, respectively, for the same periods in   
the prior year.  Higher average borrowings in fiscal 1996 result from the   
Becker and Madrigal acquisitions and the financing of increased   
working capital requirements.   
  
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 8.2 percent   
for the second quarter and 8.4 percent for the six months ended   
December 31, 1995, down from 9.4 percent for both the second quarter   
and the six months ended December 31, 1994.  The decrease in average   
interest rates results from generally lower market interest rates   
worldwide and the refinancing of unsecured lines of credit with a   
committed revolving credit facility agreement which was completed   
September 30, 1994.  Interest expense as a percentage of sales was 2.2   
percent for the first half of fiscal 1996, down from 2.3 percent for the   
comparable period in the previous year.  
  
Income before income taxes, minority interest and extraordinary items   
for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 was $22.3 million, up from $18.6   
million in the previous year.  For the six months ended December 31,   
1995, income before income taxes, minority interest and extraordinary   
items increased to $31.4 million, compared with $25.7 million in the   
prior year period.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 was 30.6   
percent compared with 34.2 percent in the same period a year ago.  The   
effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal 1996 was 31.7 percent   
compared with 35.7 percent in the prior year.  The decrease in the  
effective tax rate for the quarter and the first half results from the   
restructuring of certain foreign subsidiaries to take advantage of prior   
years' tax losses.  The Company calculates its effective tax rate based   
upon its best estimate of annual results.  
  
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 1995, was $15.5   
million, or $0.95 per share, compared with $11.9 million, or $0.75 per   
share, in the previous year.  Net income for the first half of fiscal 1996   
was $21.4 million, or $1.31 per share, compared with $16.1 million, or   
$1.02 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 December 31, 1995, was $341.4 million,   
compared with $257.6 million at June 30, 1995.  Working capital   
increased to support higher sales volume than in the prior year and to   
reflect the acquisition of Madrigal.  Additionally, finished goods   
inventories increased due to weaker than anticipated second quarter   
sales in the United States.  
  
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 1995,   
were $187.3 million, comprised of swing line borrowings of $4.2   
million, which are included in notes payable, and competitive advance   
borrowings and revolving credit borrowings of $183.1 million.    
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility at June 30, 1995, were   
$115.9 million, comprised of swing line borrowings of $9.7 million and   
competitive advance borrowings and revolving credit borrowings of   
$106.2 million.  Increased borrowings reflect the financing of capital   
expenditures, additional working capital requirements and the Madrigal   
acquisition.  In the second quarter of fiscal 1996, the revolving credit   
facility was increased from $220 million to $275 million, and the   
maturity was extended one year to September 30, 2000.  
  
Accrued liabilities decreased $13.8 million, from $164.1 million to   
$150.3 million, primarily due to the funding of previously announced   
restructuring programs to enhance the productivity of recent   
acquisitions.
