CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" (FAS
106), effective as of July 1, 1992.  This statement requires accrual accounting
for all postretirement benefits other than pensions.  In the third quarter of
1993, the company elected, effective July 1, 1992, to immediately recognize the
transition obligation as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle, resulting in a decrease to net income of $2.3 million, or $0.06 per
share.

Effective July 1, 1992 the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes."  The adoption of
this standard changed the company's method of accounting for income taxes from
the deferred method to an asset and liability method.  The standard was adopted
on a prospective basis in the third quarter of 1993.  The cumulative effect of
adopting the standard was a $4.0 million, or $0.10 per share, increase in net
income.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."  The statement
changes the method of accounting for certain postemployment benefits from a
cash basis to an accrual basis.  The statement must be adopted in the first
quarter of 1995.  The company has not yet fully determined the impact of
adoption on the company's results of operations or financial condition.

INCOME TAXES

On August 10, 1993 the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate was increased to
35% from 34%, effective January 1, 1993.  The effect of this income tax rate
change was to increase the company's gross deferred tax assets by $5 million
and to correspondingly increase the valuation allowance by approximately $5
million.

LONG-TERM DEBT

In December 1992 the company entered into a three-year interest rate swap
agreement which effectively converted $100 million of notional principal amount
from a fixed rate to a floating rate.  Under the agreement, which matures on
December 8, 1995, the company makes payments to a counter party at variable
rates based on LIBOR, reset every six months, and in return receives payments
based on a fixed rate of 5.715%.  The LIBOR rate for the period from June 8,
1993 to December 8, 1993 was 3.4375% which reduced interest expense in the
period by $1.2 million.  On December 8, 1993, the company terminated the swap
agreement.  The termination resulted in a gain of $2.7 million which has been
deferred and will be amortized over the remaining life of the hedged debt.  Of
this amount, $0.1 million of the gain was recognized through December 31, 1993
as a reduction of interest expense.

CONTINGENCIES

The company has been named, among others, as a potentially responsible party
("PRP") in administrative proceedings alleging that it may be liable for the
costs of correcting environmental conditions at certain hazardous waste sites.
At most of the sites, the company is alleged to be a de minimis generator of
hazardous wastes, and the company believes that it has limited or no liability
for clean-up costs at these sites.  At the only site where the company's
alleged involvement exceeds that of a de minimis generator, there are numerous,
large PRPs which already have undertaken clean-up work.  As a result, the
company believes that it is highly unlikely that it will be held responsible
for the total clean-up costs.  The company believes its liability, if any, will
not be material to the company.  The company has also been notified by a state
environmental agency that it may be required to investigate the need for
remedial work at one of its manufacturing sites.  The company currently is
conducting such investigations on a voluntary basis.

Additionally, the company and its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in
lawsuits arising from an environmental cost recovery matter and various
commercial matters, including product liability.  The principal product
liability litigation involves a variety of claims arising from the company's
heat-tracing and freeze-protection products.

Legal proceedings tend to be unpredictable and costly.  Based on currently
available information, however, management believes that the resolution of
pending claims, regulatory inquiries, and legal proceedings will not have a
material adverse effect on the company's operating results or financial
position.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 18, 1994 the company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.08 per share of Common Stock, payable on March 9, 1994 to
stockholders of record as of February 9, 1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The company reported second quarter 1994 net income of $2 million, or $0.04 per
share, versus net income of $3 million, or $0.08 per share, in the second
quarter of 1993.  Revenues of $354 million increased 6% from the year-ago
quarter on a constant currency basis.  For the six months ended December 31,

constant currency basis to $709 million.  In the third quarter of 1993, the
company adopted, effective July 1, 1992, Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards Nos. 106 and 109.  The cumulative effect of these accounting changes
(a credit of $2 million, or $.04 per share) has been reflected in the restated
results for the six months ended December 31, 1992.

Excluding the effect of Raynet, Raychem's pretax income decreased to $35
million in the three months ended December 31,1993, from $39 million a year
earlier, in part reflecting adverse currency movements in Europe.  The Raynet
pretax loss for the quarter was $30 million, compared with a $22 million loss
in the previous year's second quarter.  Raynet's results included a $2 million
severance provision reflecting a restructuring and work force reduction of
approximately 80 people throughout the organization, roughly 10% of Raynet's
employment.

The company's estimated annual effective tax rate was 65% compared to 80% in
the prior-year period.  The lower tax rate resulted primarily from an
anticipated reduction of losses to be generated by U.S. operations in 1994.

A tentative ruling has been entered in Raychem's favor for $9 million in its
action against the company's insurers arising out of the settlement of a class
action securities suit in December 1991.  No benefit has been recognized in the
second quarter 1994 financial results because the matter is subject to further
judicial proceedings.

The following discussion of the results of operations is presented based on the
company's business segments--electronics, industrial, and
telecommunications--(which along with the corporate groups are referred to
collectively as the "core business") and Raynet Corporation, which was
established as a separate subsidiary in calendar 1987 to commercialize certain
fiber-optic technology for the telecommunications and cable television markets.
This discussion is supplemented with condensed consolidating financial
statements included on pages 11 through 13.

CORE BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Core business revenues for the second quarter of 1994 decreased to $345 million
from $349 million in the prior-year period.  Revenue growth was 4% on a
constant currency basis.  Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 1993,
were $700 million compared to $697 million in the comparable prior-year period,
a constant currency increase of 8%.

Revenues in the electronics business segment were $127 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1993, representing a 5% increase in constant currency
terms over the prior-year quarter. Increased sales of PolySwitch were partially
offset by reduced shipments of Wire and Cable and Thermofit products. Operating 
income grew to $21 million from $17 million a year ago reflecting increased 
sales volume and reduced operating expenses which more than offset a slight 
decline in gross profit percentage. Revenues for the six months ended 
December 31, 1993, were $254 million compared to $242 million in the comparable 
prior-year period.  Operating income in the six months ended December 31, 1993, 
increased to $47 million from $28 million in the comparable prior year period, 
in part reflecting increased sales and profitability in the segment's 
PolySwitch division.

Revenues in the industrial business segment for the three months ended December
31, 1993, were $109 million, a slight reduction on a constant currency basis
over the prior-year period.  Shipments by the Electrical Products and Ultratec
divisions were impacted by the recession in Europe.  In addition, shipments of
several pipeline projects for the Ultratec division were delayed until the
third quarter of 1994.  Operating income declined to $16 million from $27
million a year ago in part reflecting lower sales volumes and a decline in
gross profit percentage caused by adverse exchange rate movements.  Revenues
for the six months ended December 31, 1993, were $221 million compared to $235
million in the comparable prior-year period.  Operating income was $38 million,
$16 million below the comparable prior-year period.

Revenues in the telecommunications business segment  for the three months ended
December 31, 1993, were $109 million, a 13% increase in constant currency terms
over the prior-year quarter.  Although sales growth was strong, particularly in
Latin America and Asia, new orders declined, primarily in the People's Republic
of China.  Operating income was $23 million, $3 million above the prior-year
period.  Gross profit percentage remained essentially unchanged compared with
the comparable prior-year period.  Revenues for the six months ended December 
31, 1993, were $225 million compared to $219 million in the comparable 
prior-year period. Operating income remained unchanged at approximately $50 
million and gross profit percentage declined slightly.

The core business' selling, distribution and administrative expense as a
percentage of revenues was 32% for the quarters ended December 31, 1993, and
1992.  For the six-month period ended December 31, 1993, such expenses
represented 31% of revenues, which is consistent with the comparable period in
the prior year.

Other expense, net, for the second quarter of 1994 was $2 million compared to
$5 million in the year-ago period. For the six-month period ended December 31,
1993, other expense, net was $5 million compared to $9 million in the
comparable prior-year period, in part reflecting reduced foreign currency 
exchange losses.

Orders exceeded shipments in the industrial segment, were approximately equal
to shipments in the electronics segment and were lower than shipments in the
telecommunications segment.  Overall, orders were below shipments for the core
business in the three months ended December 31, 1993.

RAYNET OPERATIONS

Raynet Corporation recorded revenues of $9 million for the three- and six-month
periods ended December 31, 1993, compared with $3 and $4 million, respectively,
in the comparable prior year periods.   Raynet's pretax loss for the quarter
was $30 million, compared with a $22 million loss in the previous year's second
quarter.  For the six months ended December 31, 1993, Raynet's pretax loss
increased to $59 million from $46 million in the comparable period of the prior
year.

Raynet's second quarter revenues include deliveries to NYNEX and Bezeq of
Israel.  Product was also shipped to the Deutsche Bundespost Telekom (DBP) in
Germany, Korea Telecom, and France Telecom with revenue recognition deferred
until formal customer acceptance.  The sales value of product shipped to
Germany, Korea, and France, but not recognized as revenue, was approximately
$15 million at December 31, 1993.  The majority of these contract revenues are
expected to be recognized in the second half of this fiscal year as the systems
covered by contracts are turned up in the field.

Research and development expense increased to $11 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 1993, from $9 million in the comparable year-ago quarter.  For the
six-month period ended December 31, 1993, research and development expense was
$22 million compared to $18 million in the prior-year period.  Selling,
distribution and administrative expense increased to $10 million for the
quarter ended December 31, 1993, from $8 million in the second quarter of the
prior year.  For the six-month period, selling, distribution, and
administrative expense increased to $19 million from $17 million in the
year-ago period.  The increase is due primarily to restructuring charges.
  
OUTLOOK
  
The company is cautious about the remainder of 1994 due to continued
sluggishness in the economies of Europe and Japan, and slow growth in many
of the company's markets in the United States. Overall, the company believes
that there will be modest sales growth in 1994.
  
On February 10, 1994, the company announced its expectation that the 1994 loss
from Raynet will be somewhat more than the loss incurred in 1993. The projected
higher loss is attributed to delays in revenue recognition for the DBP OPAL 
'93 project in Germany, restructuring charges, and slower than anticipated 
business development in other markets. This is expected to result in both 
higher U.S. losses and a significantly higher estimated annual effective tax 
rate than previously anticipated. Accordingly, the third quarter's results are 
expected to include an incremental tax provision to raise the company's 
estimated annual effective tax rate.
    
Recent alliances of telecommunications, cable television, and media businesses
have created considerable uncertainty regarding communications technologies to
be deployed in the United States and other regions of the world, as well as the
timing of these deployments.  The decisions regarding these technologies and
the timing of deployment may have a material effect on Raynet's and Raychem's
future revenues and profitability.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

CONSOLIDATED

Debt exceeded cash by $187 million at December 31, 1993, compared to $142
million at June 30, 1993.  The $45 million increase in debt net of cash
reflects increased cash needs at Raynet and capital expenditures in the core
business partially offset by cash flow from core business operations.

At December 31, 1993, the company had $84 million in cash and cash equivalents,
$315 million in committed credit facilities (of which $4 million was utilized)
and approximately $158 million in various uncommitted credit facilities (of
which $40 million was utilized).

The combination of cash and cash equivalents, available lines of credit, and
future cash flows from operations are expected to be sufficient to satisfy
substantially all of the company's needs for working capital, normal capital
expenditures, and anticipated dividends.  The cash requirements for Raynet will
be determined as the business develops, and alternative methods of financing
may be considered.

CORE BUSINESS

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $55 million for the
first half of 1994 from $48 million for the corresponding period of 1993.  This
increase resulted from decreased income tax payments, reduced spending on
restructuring and divestitures, and proceeds from the termination of the
interest rate swap agreement.  Inventory, as measured by the number of days of
inventory on hand, improved to 114 days for the second quarter compared to 121
days for the year-ago period.  Receivables, as measured by the number of
billing days outstanding, increased slightly to 61 days at December 31, 1993,
compared to 60 days at December 31, 1992.

Capital expenditures of $46 million increased $14 million in the first half of
1994 compared to the prior-year period, mainly due to higher spending for a new
PolySwitch manufacturing plant in Japan, increased PolySwitch capacity in Menlo
Park, and for new manufacturing equipment at the company's telecommunications
facility in North Carolina.  The company received $4 million from the sale of a
building in the United States.

RAYNET

Net cash used in operating activities at Raynet increased to $69 million for
the six months ended December 31, 1993, as compared to $26 million in the
corresponding prior-year period.  The higher cash outflow for the six-month
period was primarily due to inventory builds in anticipation of future
shipments, greater loss from operations, and higher receivables from increased
sales.  Cash flow in the year-ago period benefited from the collection of
an $12 million development contract receivable from DBP.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



ITEM 1:  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

A tentative ruling has been entered in the company's favor for $9 million in
its action against the company's insurers arising out of the settlement of a
class action securities suit on December 16, 1991.  The matter is subject to
further judicial proceedings before final judgment is rendered by the United
States District Court.  The company disclosed information about this lawsuit in
its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1993.

On December 23, 1993, the company and Thomas and Betts Corporation settled all
claims and counterclaims in the company's lawsuit for patent infringement filed
in the United States District Court, Northern District of California on August
25, 1992.  The settlement is subject to court approval and entry of consent
judgment.  The company disclosed information about this lawsuit in its annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1993.

On November 30, 1993, the company filed a complaint in the United States
District Court, Northern District of California, against PSI
Telecommunications, Inc. for patent infringement.  On January 21, 1994, PSI
Telecommunications, Inc. answered the complaint and filed a counterclaim
against the company for declaratory judgment that the patent is invalid and not
infringed, and amended its complaint and counterclaim on February 4, 1994.  No
monetary damages have been alleged.  The company believes the counterclaim is
without merit.

of shares issuable under the two plans.

The stockholders approved (by a vote of 19,361,928 in favor, 11,013,126 opposed
and 218,866 abstentions) an amendment to the 1990 Incentive Plan to increase by
1,700,000 shares the aggregate number of shares issuable under the plan.  The
stockholders also approved (by a vote of 32,414,117 in favor, 1,638,434 opposed
and 268,636 abstentions) an amendment to the Directors Stock Option Plan to
