                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


 1.  In the opinion of the company the unaudited financial statements contain
all adjustments, consisting solely of adjustments of a normal recurring nature,
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows for the periods presented.  These statements should be read in
conjunction with the company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1994.  The results of operations for the three-month periods ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the
full year.

     It is the company's practice at the end of each interim reporting period
to make an estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the
full fiscal year.  The rate so determined is used in providing for income taxes
on a year-to-date basis.

 2.  In November 1994 the company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire
all shares of common stock of Reliance Electric Company (Reliance), a major
manufacturer of industrial products and telecommunications equipment, for
$1,586 million.  As of December 31, 1994 the company had acquired approximately
62% of the common stock of Reliance on a fully-diluted basis and the acquisition
was completed on January 27, 1995.  The company has announced its intention to
fund a portion of the purchase price with proceeds from the sale of Reliance's
telecommunications business.

     At December 31, 1994, the purchase price is presented in the accompanying
balance sheet as follows (in millions):

               Short-term debt                          $  495.4
               Payable to Reliance shareowners             590.7
               Long-term debt                              500.0

               Total purchase price                      1,586.1

               Less Business held for sale *               498.0

               Net Estimated Borrowings                 $1,088.1

               *  Assumed proceeds from sale of telecommunications business.

     Although the purchase price, including the payable to Reliance shareowners,
will be initially financed through short-term borrowings, $500 million is
classified as long-term debt because the company intends and has the ability to
refinance this debt on a long-term basis (see Note 9).  The sale of the
telecommunications business is expected to occur in 1995 and the company's
results of operations will not include the results of this business or the
interest expense related to the incremental borrowings that are to be funded
from the assumed proceeds during the holding period.

2.   (Continued)

     The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase as of
December 31, 1994 and the results of operations of Reliance (exclusive of its
telecommunications business) will be included in the company's statement of
consolidated income commencing January 1, 1995.  At December 31, 1994 the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed  have been recorded at estimated fair values
determined by the company's management based on information currently
available.  The company has assumed the proceeds from the sale of the
telecommunications business to be equal to Reliance's carrying value of the
business and this amount has been reflected in the accompanying balance sheet
as "Business held for sale".  Any difference between the actual sales proceeds
and the assumed sales proceeds will result in an adjustment to goodwill.
The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed is subject to revision based on appraisals, evaluations, estimations
and other studies which are still in process.  Currently the excess of cost
over net assets acquired is $1,011.1 million.

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated results of
operations combine the historical results of operations of the company and
Reliance, assuming Reliance had been acquired and its telecommunications
business had been sold at the beginning of each period.  The pro forma results
are presented for information purposes only and are not necessarily indicative
of the results which would have occurred if the business combination had been in
effect on the dates presented, or of the results which may occur in the future. 
Further, the results do not reflect cost savings or other synergies expected to
result from the planned integration of Reliance and the company's Automation
business.

 5.  (Continued)

     The increase in goodwill is due to the acquisition of ICOM, Inc., a major
supplier in the automation software industry.  Goodwill relating to the Reliance
acquisition has been shown separately in the accompanying balance sheet as
"Excess of cost over Reliance net assets acquired" (see Note 2).

 6.  Short-term debt consisted of the following (in millions):

                                                 December 31   September 30

      Short-term bank borrowings,
        principally foreign....................   $  129.1       $  145.2
      Commercial paper.........................      560.0            
      Revolving credit line....................      105.0            
      Money market lines of credit.............       95.1            
      Current portion of long-term debt........       38.3           15.0

       Short-term debt.........................   $  927.5       $  160.2

     In December 1994 the company issued $1,060 million of short-term commercial
paper of which $995 million has been used to finance the acquisition of
Reliance.  Because the company intends and has the ability to refinance $500
million of this debt on a long-term basis, $500 million is classified as
long-term debt in the accompanying balance sheet.

     The revolving credit line and the money market lines of credit represent
debt of Reliance which has been refinanced with commercial paper borrowings of
the company in January 1995.

7.   Other current liabilities are summarized as follows (in millions):

                                                  December 31   September 30

8.   Long-term debt consisted of the following (in millions):

                                                 December 31    September 30

     6-3/4% notes, payable in 2002............       300.0          300.0
     6.8% notes, payable in 2003..............       136.7
     Short-term debt to be refinanced on a
       long-term basis (see Note 9)...........       500.0
     Other obligations, principally foreign...        97.4           46.0
       Total..................................     1,534.1          846.0
     Less current portion.....................        38.3           15.0

       Long-term debt.........................    $1,495.8       $  831.0

     The 6.8% notes, payable in 2003, represent $150 million of long-term debt
of Reliance which has been adjusted to reflect current interest rates.  The
$13.3 million discount will be amortized over the remaining term of the debt
as interest expense.

 9.  The company's financial instruments (including those of Reliance) include
cash, notes receivable, short- and long-term debt, foreign currency forward
exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements.  At December 31, 1994, the
carrying values of the company's financial instruments approximate their fair
values based on current market rates.

     In December 1994, in connection with the company's intention to issue
$500 million of long-term debt related to financing the Reliance acquisition,
the company entered into two forward interest rate swap agreements with a
creditworthy bank to protect itself against interest rate increases.  Under
these agreements the company is to receive interest payments at a floating rate,
based on six-month LIBOR, and is to pay interest at fixed rates of 8.12% on a
notional principal amount of $300 million for three years and 8.21% on a
notional principal amount of $200 million for ten years.  The interest rate swap
agreements will be terminated in connection with the issuance of the $500
million of long-term debt.  The gain or loss will be based on the difference
between the market price of each swap when entered and when terminated and will
be deferred and amortized over the term of the related debt.

     The company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to
protect itself from adverse currency rate fluctuations on firm and identifiable
foreign currency commitments entered into in the ordinary course of business. 
These foreign currency forward exchange contracts are executed with creditworthy
banks for terms of generally less than six months and are denominated in
currencies of major industrial countries.  Outstanding foreign currency forward
exchange contracts (including those of Reliance), netted on a bank-by-bank 
basis, amounted to approximately $165 million at December 31, 1994.  The company
does not anticipate any material adverse effect on its results of operations
or financial position relating to these foreign currency forward exchange
contracts.<PAGE>

       Accrued retirement benefits............    $2,540.9       $2,414.8

11.  In the quarter ended December 31, 1994, the company purchased 1.3 million
shares of Common Stock for $45 million.  Since the company's Common Stock
repurchase program began in 1984, the company has purchased 111.7 million shares
of Common Stock for $2.5 billion.

12.  Various lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be instituted or
asserted against the company relating to the conduct of its business, including
those pertaining to product liability, environmental, safety and health,
employment and government contract matters.  Although the outcome of litigation
cannot be predicted with certainty and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may
be disposed of unfavorably to the company, management believes the disposition
of matters which are pending or asserted will not have a material adverse effect
on the company's financial statements.<PAGE>

                      ROCKWELL INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Sales for the 1995 first quarter continue to reflect the significantly changing
composition of the company.  Commercial and international sales, which grew a
strong 10 percent, now comprise 69 percent of total revenues compared to
64 percent in the first quarter of 1994.  With the addition of Reliance to the
company's results commencing in the second quarter, commercial and international
sales are expected to approach 75 percent of total sales.  The composition of
the company's sales by customer is as follows (in millions):

                                                Three Months Ended
                                                    December 31

         Total                                   $2,623     $2,601

Excluding the divested Automotive Plastics business, first quarter 1995 sales
were up three percent over the same period in 1994, despite $135 million lower
sales in the company's Aerospace and Defense Electronics businesses.  

Automotive's first quarter sales were up 21 percent over the year-earlier period
due to continuing strong North American truck sales and a recovery in the
European automotive market.

Electronics first quarter sales were about the same as 1994's first quarter as
Automation's 24 percent sales increase, due to strong markets and increased
market share, was offset by sales decreases in Avionics and Defense
Electronics.  Avionics was affected by depressed air transport markets and
Defense Electronics sales were 30 percent lower than 1994's first quarter due
to the completion last year of a major contract.  For the full fiscal year, the
company expects Defense Electronics sales to be at least equal to the prior
year.

Aerospace sales were down 9 percent due to reduced government spending levels
while Graphic Systems sales were up 6 percent due to increased sales of
newspaper printing presses.

Earnings per share for 1995's first quarter increased 12 percent from last
year's first quarter.  This marks the eighth consecutive quarter the company has
achieved double-digit earnings per share growth.  In its first quarter earnings
release the company's chairman and chief executive officer said, "Looking
forward this strong start to our 1995 fiscal year makes us confident we will
again achieve our goal of double-digit annual earnings per share growth. 
Moreover, our current assessment of the operations of Reliance Electric Company
now indicates that this recent acquisition will contribute positively to 1995
earnings and will be increasingly accretive to future earnings as Rockwell
expands its leadership positions in global automation markets."

                      ROCKWELL INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

First quarter earnings of the Electronics businesses were four percent below
last year's first quarter as Automation's major earnings increase was offset by
lower earnings in Avionics and Telecommunications.  Earnings of the Automation
business were up 76 percent from last year's first quarter reflecting strong
markets and a continuing increase in market share.  Automation's incoming orders
for the first quarter increased to a record $10.7 million per day.  As expected,
first quarter earnings of the Avionics and Telecommunications businesses were
significantly below the first quarter a year ago.  Avionics results continue to
be adversely affected by depressed air transport markets and new product
investments, including land transportation electronic systems for the trucking
industry.  The Telecommunications business was affected by price erosion on
lower-speed data modem products and launch costs associated with its
next-generation very high-speed data modem product which is now ramping up to
full production.  The company expects both Avionics and Telecommunications will
achieve earnings improvements in the second half of 1995.  Defense Electronics
earnings were slightly below those of last year's first quarter as the impact of
lower sales was mostly offset by higher award fees and improved contract
performance.

Aerospace first quarter earnings were up six percent over 1994's first quarter
which included an $11 million cost adjustment on the AC-130U Gunship program. 
Aerospace earnings as a percent of sales continue to be strong as vigorous,
ongoing cost reduction programs help offset reduced government spending levels.

Automotive's first quarter earnings were up 39 percent from 1994's first quarter
led by continuing strong North American truck sales and substantially improved
performance in the Heavy Vehicle Systems business.  Earnings of Automotive's
Light Vehicle Systems business were up slightly from last year's first quarter
as the European automotive market recovers.  Automotive's first quarter return
on sales improved to 6.8 percent compared to 5.9 percent in 1994's first
quarter.

Earnings of the Graphic Systems business nearly doubled 1994's first quarter,
primarily due to increased sales of higher-margin large newspaper printing
presses.  Graphic Systems results are also benefitting from continuing cost
containment and productivity programs.  Based on current delivery schedules, the
Company expects significantly higher Graphic Systems earnings in the first half
of 1995 than in the second half.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Changes to the company's financial condition since its September 30, 1994 fiscal
year-end are principally related to the inclusion of the assets and liabilities
of Reliance and the financing of the company's acquisition of Reliance (see Note
2 of Notes to Financial Statements).

At December 31, 1994 the company had financed through short-term borrowings $995
million of the $1,586 million purchase price of Reliance.  Since it is the
company's intention to refinance $500 million of these short-term borrowings on
a long-term basis, at December 31, 1994, $495 million is classified as short-
term debt and $500 million is classified as long-term debt.  The company's total
debt to total capital ratio (debt as a percent of shareowners' equity plus debt)
increased to 42 percent at December 31, 1994 from 23 percent at September 30,
1994.<PAGE>

FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)

The remaining $591 million of the purchase price of Reliance is recorded as a
payable to Reliance shareowners at December 31, 1994.  In connection with the
completion of the acquisition of Reliance in January 1995, this amount has been
substantially paid with the proceeds of further short-term borrowings.  This
additional debt will increase the company's debt to total capital ratio to about
47 percent.  With the strong annual cash flow generated by the company's
businesses and the proceeds from the company's anticipated sale of Reliance's
telecommunications business (classified as "Business held for sale" in the
December 31, 1994 balance sheet), the company expects this debt to total capital
ratio will return to the 25 to 35 percent range within a three-year period.

Including the interest expense associated with the short- and long-term
borrowings for the Reliance acquisition and the operating results of Reliance,
the company's ratio of earnings to fixed charges would have declined from 7.8 to
5.0 for the three months ended December 31, 1994.

The company's working capital at December 31, 1994 was $1,438 million, down
$470 million from working capital at September 30, 1994.  The decrease is
principally due to the $495 million short-term financing of the Reliance
acquisition and the $591 million payable to Reliance shareowners at
December 31, 1994 offset by the $608 million in working capital of Reliance. The
following assets and liabilities of Reliance, including preliminary fair value
adjustments, were consolidated in the company's balance sheet at December 31,
1994 (in millions):

     Current assets:
        Cash...........................................    $   57.5
        Receivables....................................       182.5

FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)

Information with respect to the effect on the company and its manufacturing
operations of compliance with environmental protection requirements and
resolution of environmental claims is contained under the caption Results of
Operations, Environmental Issues in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, on pages 18 - 19 of the
company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1994.  Management believes that at December 31, 1994 there has been no material
change to this information.

At December 31, 1994, Reliance had been designated as a potentially responsible
party at 18 Superfund sites for which an accrual of $3 million of estimated
costs has been recorded by Reliance.  Reliance has also identified 13 sites
which will require remediation pursuant to other federal, state or local
environmental protection requirements for which an accrual of $18 million of
estimated costs has been recorded by Reliance.  At December 31, 1994 Reliance
has recorded a receivable from Exxon Corporation of $17 million, Exxon having
agreed to pay for substantially all the environmental costs for certain sites.
Exxon has been fulfilling its indemnification obligation except for matters
related to one site for which Reliance expects its indemnification claims to
eventually total approximately $12 million, most of which is included in the
foregoing receivable.  As noted in Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements, the
company's assessment of the assets and liabilities of Reliance, including those
related to environmental matters, is still in process.

Other Financial Information

In January 1995 the company announced that it had decided to retain ownership of
its Switching Systems Division, concluding several months' evaluation of
ownership alternatives.  The Division has shown steady performance improvements
during the past year and contributed to improved first quarter results.

The company's backlog on December 31, 1994 was $11.5 billion compared to
$12.4 billion on December 31, 1993.  The backlog includes $4.5 billion of
commercial orders (including Reliance), $2.3 billion of funded government orders
and $4.8 billion of unfunded government orders.  Backlog by major business
segment is as follows (in millions):

                                                December 31      December 31

Item 5.  Other Information

         The company's government contract operations are subject to
U.S. Government investigations of business practices and audits of contract
performance and cost classification from which claims have been or may be
asserted against the company.  Although such claims are usually resolved through
fact-finding and negotiation, civil, criminal or administrative proceedings may
result and a contractor can be fined, as well as be suspended or debarred from
government contracts.  Management believes there are no claims, audits or
investigations currently pending against the company which will have a material
adverse effect on either the company's business or its financial condition.

         The company's financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
reasonable estimates, supported by the opinion of outside legal counsel, of the
revenue expected to be recovered from the company's claims against the
U.S. Government arising out of the government's termination of contracts for its
convenience and certain contractual disputes. While management cannot reasonably
estimate the length of time that will be required to resolve its claims or
whether they will be resolved through negotiation or litigation, it believes
their resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the company's
financial statements.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (UNAUDITED)

                                                                

1. Basis of Presentation of Financial Statements

The data as of December 31, 1994 and for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1994 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all
adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  The
statements, which do not include all information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements,
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Reliance Electric Company (the
company) for the year ended December 31, 1993.

2. Rockwell Acquisition

In November 1994 the company entered into a definitive agreement to be purchased
by Rockwell International Corporation (Rockwell) for a purchase price of $31 per
share of Class A Common Stock and an equivalent price for convertible shares. As
of December 31, 1994 approximately 62% of the company's common stock on a fully
diluted basis was owned by Rockwell and the purchase was completed on
January 27, 1995.  Assets and liabilities of the company, adjusted to
preliminary fair values, are included in Rockwell's balance sheet at
December 31, 1994.  These financial statements have been prepared on Reliance's
historical basis of accounting.

Rockwell has announced its intention to divest the company's telecommunications
business.  The company's financial statements at December 31, 1994 and for the
twelve months ended December 31, 1994 include the following amounts related to
the telecommunications business (in millions):

                 Total Assets           $573
                 Total Liabilities        75 
                 Net Assets             $498 

                 Sales                  $458

                 Earnings Before Taxes  $ 26

3. Unusual Expenses

  In the fourth quarter of 1994, the company incurred the following unusual
expenses (in millions):

      Termination fee paid to General Signal Corporation
      related to abandonment of prior merger agreement             $55

      Payment to buy back all outstanding stock options
      as a result of the acquisition by Rockwell                    20

      Other merger-related costs, including investment
      banking, legal and other professional services                15

      Total                                                        $90

4. Inventories

  Inventories at December 31, 1994 consist of the following (in millions):

         Raw Materials............................     $107
         Work in process..........................       83
         Finished goods...........................       72
         Total (approximates replacement cost)....      262
         Difference to LIFO.......................       84
         LIFO.....................................     $346

5. Income Taxes

  The consolidated effective tax rate was different from the United States
statutory rate due to amortization of goodwill and other expenses for which a
tax benefit has not yet been recognized.

6. Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

  The company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 -
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits"("SFAS 112") in the first
quarter of 1994.  SFAS 112 establishes accounting standards for employers who
provide certain benefits to former or inactive employees, their beneficiaries,
and covered dependents.  The company's primary liability under SFAS 112 is for
salary continuation plans provided to certain employees.  The actuarial present
value of these obligations was determined to be $4 million, using a 7.5%
discount rate. There is no effect on cash flows.  The cost of these benefits had
previously been recognized when they were paid.

  The company also adopted the provisions set forth in SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 92, "Accounting and Disclosures Related to Loss Contingencies"
("SAB92") in the first quarter of 1994.  SAB 92 requires separate presentation
of the gross liability for a loss contingency from the related claim for
recovery.  The company's primary contingent liabilities relate to environmental
actions naming a non-operating subsidiary as a defendant or potentially
responsible party.  These estimated liabilities heretofore had been shown net of
the expected recovery under an indemnity agreement covering substantially all
related claims.  A more detailed description of these liabilities and the
related indemnity agreement referred to above is set forth in Note 14 to the
company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1993.  The December 31, 1994 balance sheet reflects the gross
estimated unpaid liability of $21 million and the gross estimated
recovery of $17 million.

                ROCKWELL INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

  UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME


The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income
has been prepared by Rockwell's management.  This statement reflects Rockwell's
acquisition of Reliance and combines the historical consolidated income
statements of Rockwell and Reliance for the three months ending
December 31, 1994, using the purchase method of accounting.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income has been
prepared assuming the acquisition of Reliance had occurred at the beginning of
Rockwell's fiscal year ending September 30, 1995.  This pro forma statement
should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial
statements and related notes of Rockwell and Reliance.  The pro forma statement
includes preliminary estimates and assumptions which Rockwell management
believes are reasonable.  Pro forma adjustments reflecting anticipated cost
savings and other synergies resulting from the planned integration of Reliance
and Rockwell's Automation business are, under most circumstances, not permitted.
As a result, the pro forma results are not intended to be a projection of
future results and are not necessarily indicative of the results which would
have occurred if the business combination had been in effect on the dates
presented.  Rockwell management's current assessment of the operations of
Reliance now indicates that this acquisition will contribute positively to 1995
earnings and will be increasingly accretive to future earnings.

The pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income has been prepared using
the following facts and assumptions:

    Rockwell acquires all the common stock of Reliance for a total cash payment
of $1,586 million.  As of December 31, 1994, Rockwell had acquired 62% of the
common stock of Reliance on a fully-diluted basis and the acquisition was
completed January 27, 1995.

    Simultaneously with the acquisition of Reliance, Rockwell sells the
telecommunications business of Reliance to fund a portion of the acquisition
price.  For purposes of this pro forma statement, it is assumed the sales
proceeds will be equal to the net book value of the telecommunications business
of $498 million. Rockwell expects the sale of the telecommunications business of
Reliance to occur by December 31, 1995 and the actual sales proceeds may be
higher or lower than the assumed amount.

    Rockwell borrows $1,088 million to finance the remaining portion of the
$1,586 million acquisition price.

    In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the purchase
price of Reliance will be allocated to the assets and liabilities of Reliance
based upon their respective fair values.  Such allocations will be based upon
appraisals, evaluations, estimations and other studies which are still in
process.  For purposes of the accompanying pro forma statement, the pro forma
adjustments have been reflected on an estimated basis using information
currently available.  No adjustment has been made to allocate the excess of
cost over the net assets of Reliance to property, plant and equipment
or intangible assets since such fair values have not yet been determined.
  Accordingly, the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets
and assumed liabilities of Reliance is subject to revision as a result of
the final determination of fair values.<PAGE>

   with abandonment of a prior merger agreement and costs associated with the
   acquisition by Rockwell.

4. Adjust expense for postretirement benefits to reflect Rockwell's actuarial
   assumptions.

5. Recognize interest expense on borrowings to fund acquisition (at assumed
   rates of 7% on short-term debt and 8.2% on long-term debt).
