Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 29, 1996
(Unaudited)

Note A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying  unaudited condensed  consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned  subsidiaries after elimination
of significant intercompany accounts and transactions.  The financial statements
have been  prepared  in  accordance  with  instructions  to Form 10-Q and do not
include  all the  information  and  footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted
accounting  principles for complete financial  statements.  Independent auditors
have not examined the statements (and all other information in this report), but
in the opinion of the Company all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring
accruals  necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the period,  have
been made. The results of operations for the period ended September 29, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the year ending June
30,  1997.  For  further  information,   refer  to  the  consolidated  financial
statements  and footnotes  included in the Company's  annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended June 30, 1996.

Primary  earnings per share are based on the weighted  average  number of common
stock and dilutive  common  stock  equivalents  outstanding  during each period.
Common stock  equivalents  consist of stock options whose exercise price is less
than the  stipulated  market  price  using the  Treasury-stock  method  for both
primary and fully diluted earnings per share. Fully diluted  computations,  when
applicable,   assume  the  dilutive  conversion  of  the  Company's  outstanding
convertible  subordinated  notes,  after  adding back their  after-tax  interest
expense.

Note B - Income Taxes

U.S. income taxes are not provided on certain undistributed  earnings of foreign
subsidiaries aggregating  approximately $44 million at September 29, 1996, which
are considered  permanently  invested..  Otherwise,  approximately $9 million of
cumulative deferred income taxes would have been provided.  Income tax provision
for fiscal year 1997 differs from the U.S.  statutory  income tax rate primarily
due to state income taxes.

Note C - Changes in Amount Outstanding of Securities or Indebtedness

Outstanding  borrowings  at  September  29, 1996 under the  Company's  Revolving
Credit, Commercial Paper facility, and other long-term debt agreements increased
approximately $99 million from the June 30, 1996 balance.  The increase resulted
from the issuance in July 1996 of $100 million of senior  notes,  payable in six
annual  installments  of $16.7  million  beginning  in July  2001 and  currently
bearing a 7.59% interest rate.

At  September  29, 1996 the Company  had no amount  outstanding  under its asset
securitization  agreement,  compared  with $190  million at June 30,  1996.  The
Company can sell up to $200 million of certain accounts  receivable with limited
recourse under the agreement.

Total unused credit  facilities  available to the Company at September 29, 1996,
including that available under the asset securitization agreement,  approximated
$684 million.

Item 2.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of Results of  Operations  and
Financial Condition

From time to time, the Company may publish  forward-looking  statements relating
to such  matters  as  anticipated  financial  performance,  business  prospects,
technological  developments,  new  products,  and similar  matters.  The Private
Securities   Litigation   Reform  Act  of  1995   provides  a  safe  harbor  for
forward-looking  statements.  In  compliance  with such safe harbor  terms,  the
Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company's actual results
and  experience  to  differ   materially  from  anticipated   results  or  other
expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking  statements or from past
performances.   The  risks  and  uncertainties   that  may  affect   operations,
performance,   development  and  results  of  the  Company's   business  include
statements  regarding  anticipated pricing and production  volumes;  and various
factors,  including  component  price  fluctuation,  noted  in  Item  1.  of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1996.


Results of Operations

Revenue  and net income  reached  record  quarterly  highs in fiscal year 1997's
first  quarter.  Sales  increased  62% to $1.42 billion from $877 million in the
same period a year  earlier.  Net income  increased  65% to $25 million from $15
million in fiscal year 1996's first quarter.  Such growth rates are not believed
by management to be substantiable for extended periods.

Increased sales primarily resulted from increased volume especially in finished
product assembly.

The average  selling  prices of many of the Company's  products are declining as
electronic components experience  substantial unit cost reductions.  The decline
is  estimated  to  continue  throughout  the coming  quarter,  and may  continue
thereafter depending upon whether component price reductions  continue.  Average
selling price declines tend to reduce revenue growth rates.

Operating  margins were slightly lower during the quarter than a year earlier as
result of higher  finished  product  mix,  startup  costs of  several  major new
programs,  and integration costs of a recently acquired plant. Return on average
shareholders' equity increased to 20.6 percent from 16.0 percent a year earlier,
primarily due to improved asset management.

Earnings  per share for the quarter  were $.83 on a primary  basis and $.75 on a
fully diluted basis,  compared with $.51 in the prior year on both a primary and
fully  diluted  basis.  The first  quarter of fiscal  year 1997 was the  initial
quarter in which the full dilution effect of the Convertible  Subordinated Notes
issued in May 1996 was experienced.

First quarter  interest  expense,  net of  approximately  one million dollars in
interest  income,  declined  to .41% of sales from .52% in the first  quarter of
fiscal 1996. This decrease  mainly  resulted from improved asset  turnover.  The
dollar amount of increase in interest  expense is mainly  attributable to higher
total borrowing levels in support of higher revenue.

A 3.8 asset turnover  ratio was  experienced in fiscal year 1997's first quarter
compared  with 3.1 a year  earlier.  Asset  turnover  improvement  resulted from
increased  finished product assembly which inherently  yields higher turnover to
offset its lower  operating  margins.  The ratio of ending debt (net of cash) to
annualized  quarterly sales for the first quarter declined to .066 from .080 for
the same period a year earlier.


                                           7

Estimated  effective  income  tax rate  differs  from the  U.S.  statutory  rate
primarily  due to the effects of state income  taxes.  Currently,  the estimated
effective  income tax rate for fiscal year 1997 is estimated to approximate that
of fiscal 1996.


Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Company's  working  capital  increased to $676 million at September 29, 1996
from $550 million at June 30, 1996, mainly as a result of reduced usage of asset
securitization programs. September 29, 1996's ratio of current assets to current
liabilities (current ratio) was 1.9 compared with 2.2 at June 30, 1996.

The  Company   believes  that  its  available   unused  credit  lines  and  cash
(aggregating  $750 million at September 29, 1996) are sufficient to finance near
term growth.  Fiscal year 1997's capital expenditures are currently estimated to
approximate $90 million, $20 million more than estimated depreciation.

The dollar amount of order backlog at September 29, 1996 believed by the Company
to be firm was $2.80 billion,  as compared with $2.50 billion a year earlier and
$2.84 billion a quarter earlier.
