Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

December 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 December 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 December 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  December  29,  1996 under the  Company's  Revolving
Credit, Commercial Paper facility, and other long-term debt agreements increased
approximately  $102  million  from the  June  30,  1996  balance.  The  increase
primarily  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 bearing a 7.59% interest rate.

At December  29, 1996 the  Company had $50 million  outstanding  under its asset
securitization  agreements,  compared  with $190 million at June 30,  1996.  The
Company can sell up to $250 million of certain accounts  receivable with limited
recourse under the agreements.  

Total unused  credit  facilities  available to the Company at December 29, 1996,
including  availability  under  asset  securitization  agreements,  approximated
$662  million.  That  amount  combined  with cash  balances,  provides available
liquidity of a billion dollars.




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.  Risks and uncertainties that may affect operations,  performance,
development and results of the Company's business include pricing and production
cost variations; and other 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

Quarterly  revenue  and net income  again  reached  record  highs in fiscal year
1997's second quarter.  Sales for the second quarter were $1.48 billion compared
to $1.20 billion in the same period a year earlier, a 23.1 percent increase. Net
income increased 33.7 percent to $29.6 million from $22.2 million in fiscal year
1996's second quarter. The Company believes that seasonal trends indicate fiscal
year 1997's  third  quarter  sales will likely be lower than the second  quarter
sales.

Sales for the first six months of fiscal  year 1997  increased  39.5  percent to
$2.9 billion from $2.1  billion for the prior fiscal  year's  first six months.
Net income increased 46.6 percent to $54.7 million compared with $37.3 million a
year earlier.

Sales  increased  because of increased  volume,  especially in finished  product
assembly, which accounted for over one half of the Company's sales in the first
six  months.  The  average  selling  prices of many of the  Company's  products
declined in the second quarter as electronic components experienced  substantial
unit cost reductions.

Consolidated  operating  margins  were higher in the second  quarter than a year
earlier as a result of improved foreign operations.  Domestic operating  margins
decreased  slightly  from the prior fiscal  year's  period  because of a higher
finished product mix.

Sales generated by the Company's foreign operations accounted for 24 percent of
total  sales for the first six  months  of  fiscal  year 1997  compared  with 33
percent for all of fiscal year 1996.

Return on average shareholders' equity increased to 23.0 percent for the second
quarter  from 21.3  percent a year  earlier.  For the first six months of fiscal
year 1997,  return on equity increased to 21.8 percent from 19.2 percent for the
same period last fiscal year.  The  improvements  mainly  resulted  from greater
asset turnover ratio for noncash assets.

Second  quarter interest  expense,  net  of  interest  income,  declined  to .31
percent of sales from .48 percent in the second  quarter of fiscal 1996. For the
first six  months  of fiscal  year 1997 net  interest  expense  represented  .36
percent of sales  compared  with .50 percent in fiscal year 1996.  The increased
dollar  amount in  interest  expense  is  mainly  attributable  to higher  total
borrowing  levels in support of higher  revenue.  The higher  interest income in
fiscal year 1997 is attributable to investing larger available cash generated by
operations  because of greater asset  turnover.  In fiscal year 1996 the Company
used cash from operations to fund the 68 percent sales growth experienced in the
first six months.  Finished product  assembly,  which  inherently  yields higher
asset turnover to offset lower operating margins,  contributed  significantly to
higher noncash asset turnover.

The  ratio  of  aggregate  ending  debt  and  amounts  outstanding  under  asset
securitization  agreements,  net of cash,  to the first six months'  annualized
sales  declined to .027 in fiscal year 1997 from .085 for the same period a year
earlier. Because of the greater cash generated by operations, a lower borrowings
level in relationship to sales resulted.

The estimated  effective  income tax rate differs from the U.S.  statutory  rate
primarily due to the effects of state income taxes and is currently estimated to
approximate that of fiscal 1996.


Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Company's  working  capital  increased to $705 million at December 29, 1996
from $550  million  at June 30,  1996,  primarily  as a result  of  higher  cash
balances.  December 29,  1996's ratio of current  assets to current  liabilities
(current ratio) was 2.0 compared with 2.2 at June 30, 1996.

The Company  believes that unused credit lines and cash  (aggregating $1 billion
at December 29, 1996) are sufficient to finance intermediate term growth. Fiscal
year 1997's capital  expenditures  are currently  estimated to approximate  $100
million, $20 million more than estimated depreciation.

The dollar  amount of order backlog at December 29, 1996 believed by the Company
to be firm was $2.76  billion (in spite of both marked  reduction  in  component
lead times and  substantial  reduction in component  prices),  as compared  with
$2.43 billion a year earlier and $2.80 billion a quarter earlier.
