Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 28, 1997
(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 28, 1997 are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the year ending June
30,  1998.  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, 1997.

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, 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 $42 million at September 28, 1997, which
are considered  permanently  invested.  Otherwise,  approximately $11 million of
cumulative deferred income taxes would have been provided.  Income tax provision
for fiscal year 1998 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

At September 28, 1997 the Company had $32 million of certain accounts receivable
sold under its asset securitization agreement, compared with $36 million at June
30, 1997. The Company can sell up to $250 million of certain accounts receivable
with limited recourse under its asset securitization agreements.

Total unused credit  facilities  available to the Company at September 28, 1997,
including that available under the asset securitization agreements, approximated
$677 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 future
cash use and other factors  noted in Item 1. of the  Company's  Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1997.

Results of Operations

Revenue  and net income  reached  record  quarterly  highs in fiscal year 1998's
first quarter.  Sales increased 22.7% to $1.74 billion from $1.42 billion in the
same period a year  earlier.  Net income  increased  45.4% to $36.4 million from
$25.0 million in fiscal year 1997's first quarter.

Increased volume,  which more than offset reduced average selling prices for the
Company's products, led to higher sales in fiscal year 1998 compared with fiscal
year  1997.  Lower  average  selling  prices  resulted  principally  from  lower
electronic  component prices.  Finished product assembly  accounted for over one
half of the Company's  sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 1998.  Domestic
sales  represented the same  approximate  ratio of consolidated  sales in fiscal
year 1998's first quarter as they did in total for fiscal year 1997.

Operating  margins for the first  quarter of fiscal year 1998  improved to 3.75%
from  3.34%  for  the  prior  fiscal   year's  first   quarter.   Improved  cost
efficiencies,  especially in the Company's  foreign  operations,  generated this
improvement.

Net  interest  expense for the  quarter  declined to .24% of sales from .41% for
fiscal year 1997's first quarter. This decrease resulted from increased interest
income  earned  on  temporary  investment  of  improved  net  cash  provided  by
operations over the last four quarters.  The Company  anticipates  that interest
income will decline as the year progresses due to reduced short-term investments
as cash is used to support anticipated growth.

Estimated  effective  income  tax rate  differs  from the  U.S.  statutory  rate
primarily due to the effects of state income taxes.

Net income  improved to 2.1% of sales from 1.8% a year  earlier,  as a result of
improved  operating  margin and lower net  interest  expense.  Return on average
stockholder's  equity for the  quarter was 23.8% in fiscal  1998  compared  with
20.6% in fiscal 1997.

Fully diluted  earnings per share  increased to a lesser degree (39.5%) than net
income  (45.4%)  because  of  increased   weighted   average  number  of  shares
outstanding.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

September  28,  1997's  working  capital of $760 million  approximated  June 30,
1997's $754 million.  September 28, 1997's current ratio (1.8) declined slightly
from June 30, 1997's ratio (2.0).

September 28,  1997's  available  liquidity was $934 million,  comprised of $677
million in unused credit  facilities and $257 million in cash.  Lower  available
liquidity  is  anticipated  during the  remainder of fiscal year 1998 as cash is
used to fund  working  capital  and capital  expenditures  in support of planned
revenue growth.  The Company  believes that existing  liquidity is sufficient to
support near term growth.  Fiscal year 1998's capital expenditures are currently
estimated to be $150 million,  $60 million more than estimated  depreciation and
amortization.

Order backlog believed by the Company to be firm at September 28, 1997 was $3.15
billion,  compared with $2.80 billion a year earlier and $3.19 billion a quarter
earlier.
