                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Corporate Benefits Committee of the
  Beckman Instruments, Inc.
  Savings and Investment Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Beckman Instruments, Inc. Savings and Investment Plan (the
"Plan") as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes
in net assets available for plan benefits for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1993.  In connection with our audits of
the financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule
as listed in the accompanying index.  These financial statements and
supplementary schedule are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  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 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 audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Also in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.

                          SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                           December 31, 1993 and 1992



(1)    Description of Plan

       General

       Beckman Instruments, Inc. (the "Company") established and adopted the
       Beckman Instruments, Inc. Savings and Investment Plan (the "Plan")
       effective August 1, 1989.  The Company established the Plan as a result
       of the distribution of all its stock previously held by SmithKline
       Beckman Corporation.

       The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all
       employees of the Company who have completed three months of continuous
       employment and 500 hours of service.  The Plan is subject to the
       provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
       ("ERISA").  The Plan is administered by the Corporate Benefits Committee
       (the "Committee") whose members are appointed by the Board of Directors
       of the Company.

       The Plan was restated in August 1992 and the Plan document incorporates
       all amendments made to the Plan through August 1992.

       Contributions

       Participants may elect to contribute up to 15% of their eligible
       compensation in the form of pre-tax and/or after-tax withholdings,
       although the combined contribution cannot exceed 15% of eligible
       compensation.

       Company matching contributions to the Plan are allocated to participants
       based on a specified percentage of actual  employee contributions.
       Forfeitures of the Company match will be first used to reinstate
       previously forfeited balances of certain former employees that are
       reemployed by the Company and then will be used to reduce future Company
       contributions.

       Upon commencement of benefit payments, participants are subject to
       Federal income tax on the receipt of participant pre-tax contributions,
       Company matching contributions and earnings on all contributions.

       Investment Options

       Participants have a choice of five different investment funds for their
       contributions.  Participants have a choice of the Interest Income Fund
       and the Beckman Stock Fund for the Company contributions.  As of
       November 30, 1992, the Allergan Stock Fund and SmithKline Beecham Stock
       Fund were terminated as investment options and, accordingly, investments
       from past contributions were transferred to the remaining five funds in
       the Plan.




                                                                     (Continued)

                         Notes to Financial Statements



       Participants have the right to elect investment options upon enrollment
       or re-enrollment into the Plan.  Additionally, participants may elect to
       change their investment options and transfer their account balances
       among the different investment funds.

       Income on investment funds is allocated to participants' accounts based
       on the participants' investment fund balance as a percentage of the
       total investment fund balance.

       A description of each investment fund follows:

       subsequent to the spinoff of Beckman Instruments, Inc. common stock to
       its shareholders.

       Allergan Stock Fund - The Allergan Stock Fund was invested in Allergan,
       Inc. common stock.  Allergan, Inc. was previously a subsidiary of
       SmithKline Beckman Corporation.

       and cash.  The stock portfolio consists of large, intermediate and small
       companies.  The bond portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency

       S&P 500 Index in about the same proportions as they are represented in

       name "Vanguard Index Trust-500 Portfolio."

       Benefits and Vesting

       Participants become entitled to payment of the total vested value of
       their accounts at the time of termination, retirement, permanent layoff,
       permanent disability or death.  Upon death, one lump sum distribution is
       made during the year of death.  If total vested value is greater than
       $3,500, the participants may elect to postpone their one lump sum
       distribution until as late as the year following the year in which they
       attain age 70-1/2.

       Participants' interests in the Company's contributions, income, gains
       and losses on investments become fully vested following completion of
       three years of service.  Participants also become fully vested upon
       reaching normal retirement age, permanent layoff, death or permanent
       disability.  Participants immediately vest in the value of their
       contributions.

       Continuation of the Plan

       The Company anticipates and believes the Plan will continue without
       interruption but reserves the right to discontinue the Plan.  If the
       Plan is terminated by the Company, the accounts of all affected
       participants shall become 100% vested and nonforfeitable without regard
       to the years of service of such participants.

       Basis of Accounting

       The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
       basis of accounting.

                         Notes to Financial Statements



       Investment Valuation

       Investments are stated at fair value.  The fair value of the common
       stock is based upon quotations obtained from national securities
       exchanges on the last business day of the Plan year.  The fair values of
       the mutual funds and the commingled funds are based upon the net asset
       value reported by the funds.  The purchases and sales of securities are
       recorded as of the date of trade.  The average cost method is used in
       determining gains and losses on the sales of securities.

       Investments in group contracts with insurance companies are stated at
       contract value which approximates market.

       quotations obtained from national securities exchanges on the date of
       trade.  The fair values of the mutual funds and the commingled funds are
       based upon the net asset value reported by the funds.  The cost of the
       financial instruments is determined by using the average cost method.
