MANAGEMENT REVIEW


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

     Tektronix had record sales and orders for its fiscal year ended May 30,
1998. Net earnings for 1998 were $82.3 million, or $1.60 per diluted share. Net
earnings in 1997 of $114.8 million, or $2.29 per share, increased 15% over
fiscal 1996 earnings of $99.6 million, or $1.95 per share. Fiscal year 1998
earnings included pre-tax non-recurring charges of $79.0 million related to the
$60.0 million restructuring of the Video and Networking Division, $17.0 million
of acquired in-process research and development and $2.0 million of severance
costs associated with the acquisition of Siemens' Communications Test Equipment
GmbH (CTE). Excluding the non-recurring charges, fiscal year 1998 earnings would
have been $135.2 million, or $2.63 per share, an increase of 18% over fiscal
year 1997 earnings.


RESTRUCTURING

     In the second quarter of 1998, the Company announced and began to implement
a restructuring plan designed to return the Video and Networking business to
profitability. A pre-tax provision of $60.0 million was recorded to account for
these actions. The objective of the plan was to reduce the unit's cost structure
to increase operational efficiency.

     The plan has resulted in the separation of approximately 280 employees
worldwide and the exiting of certain facilities and product lines at an expected
total cost of $21.5 million. The actions included streamlining its product
offerings by discontinuing certain products in the Grass Valley line, certain
non-linear digital editing products sold under the Lightworks name, and exiting
the Network Displays business. As a result of the reduction in headcount and
product offerings, the Company's facility in Grass Valley, California, was
closed and consolidated into the nearby Nevada City, California, facility. The
Grass Valley facility is owned by the Company and is held for sale. These costs
are included in non-recurring charges for the year ended May 30, 1998 in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

     In addition, the decision to downsize the business and streamline product
offerings resulted in obsolete inventory that was written off. Numerous products
were discontinued, requiring a $38.5 million write-down of inventories now
considered obsolete, which is included in cost of sales for the year ended May
30, 1998 in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

     The Company expects these actions to reduce costs by approximately $30.0
million per year once fully implemented. The implementation will be
substantially complete by the end of the second quarter of 1999. The cash
required for these actions is approximately $15.8 million. As of May 30, 1998,
$9.2 million of this cash has been spent, with the remainder to be paid out
through the second quarter of 1999.


NET SALES AND PRODUCT ORDERS

     Net sales in 1998 were $2.086 billion, an 8% increase over 1997 sales of
$1.940 billion. Growth in the Measurement Business and Color Printing and
Imaging Divisions offset the slower sales of the Video and Networking Division
as product lines were streamlined. Sales to customers in the United States of
$1.078 billion were 5% above the level for the prior year, and represented 52%
of total sales. International sales rose 10%, from $912.8 million to $1.008
billion, with strong sales growth in Europe at $548.8 million, up $43.5 million
or 9% from 1997, and in the Americas at $114.7 million, up $36.5 million or 47%
from 1997. Sales to the Pacific region, excluding Japan, were up 3% to $209.0
million in 1998 from $202.4 million in 1997. Sales to Japan were up 7% to
$135.6 million in 1998.

     Net sales in 1997 were 10% higher than they were in 1996. U.S. sales of
$1.027 billion in 1997 were 15% above those of the prior year.

     Product orders for 1998 were $1.912 billion, an increase of 5% over 1997
orders of $1.829 billion. Orders in 1996 were $1.658 billion.

     The following table summarizes the Company's net sales for the last three
years by its three business divisions:

</TABLE>

     Measurement Business sales of $962.9 million in 1998 represented 46% of
total sales and grew 13% from 1997. Growth in 1998 was driven by sales of the
TLA 700 logic analyzer and telecommunications test products, including those
from CTE. Measurement Business sales in 1997 were 5% higher than in 1996 due to
the introduction of new logic analyzer products and the TDS 200 oscilloscope
during the second half of the year. Product orders in 1998 were $860.9 million,
compared to $795.2 million in 1997 and $754.0 million in 1996.

     Color Printing and Imaging sales increased 14%, from sales of $638.5
million in 1997 to $728.7 million in 1998. The introduction of three new
printers during the year (the Phaser 560, Phaser 380, and Phaser 360) and
increased sales of printing supplies drove growth in sales and orders. Color
Printing and Imaging sales accounted for 35% of total sales in 1998 compared to
33% in 1997. Sales in 1997 increased 14% over 1996, due to the introduction of
the Phaser 350 in that year and continued demand for the Phaser 550. Product
orders rose 13% to $687.3 million in 1998 from $607.5 million in 1997. Product
orders were $531.1 million in 1996.

     Video and Networking sales in 1998 of $394.2 million were 12% lower than in
1997 due to a reduction in product offerings through the elimination of certain
non-profitable product lines as well as general weakness in the broadcast
market. In addition, 1997 sales were particularly strong in the netstation
business, including two significant installations of networked computers that
year. The decline was tempered by continued sales growth of the Profile PDR 200
professional video server. Sales increased 14%, from $395.0 million in 1996 to
$448.8 million in 1997, due to strength in Profile video disk recorders and
networked computers. Product orders were $363.8 million in 1998, down 15% from
orders of $426.4 million in 1997. Product orders in 1996 were $372.4 million.


OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES

     Gross margin was 41.5% of sales in 1998. Excluding non-recurring charges,
gross margin would have been 43.3% of sales, an increase from 42.9% in 1997 due
to cost management across all three divisions, streamlining in Video and
Networking to focus on profitable products, and cost savings as a result of the
restructuring of that business. Non-recurring charges decreased reported gross
margin due to $38.5 million of Video and Networking inventory written off as
part of the restructuring of that business. This inventory included finished
goods and components related to products that were discontinued in an effort to
focus the company on products that generate the highest margins. Gross margins
increased to 42.9% in 1997, from 41.9% in 1996, due to an improved mix of higher
margin supplies sales in Color Printing and Imaging and lower manufacturing
costs in Video and Networking.

     Research and development expenses were 9.7% of sales in 1998 and 1997 and
9.3% of sales in 1996 at $203.3 million, $188.2 million and $164.3 million,
respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $508.7 million,
or 24.4% of sales, in 1998 compared to $481.1 million, or 24.8% of sales, in
1997 and $437.9 million, or 24.8% of sales, in 1996.

     Operating margin was 5.5% of sales in 1998. Excluding non-recurring
charges, operating margins continued an increasing trend, rising to 9.3% in 1998
from 8.5% in 1997 and 8.1% in 1996. Increasing gross margins and continued focus
on cost management contributed to the increase in 1998. The improvement in 1997
was due primarily to higher gross margins, partly offset by higher research and
development spending and lower equity in business ventures' earnings.

     Interest expense decreased 17% to $10.1 million due to a decrease in both
long-term and short-term debt balances in 1998. Interest expense was $12.1
million in 1997, 13% less than the $14.0 million in 1996.

<PAGE>

     Other income was $17.6 million in 1998 compared with other income of $15.9
million in 1997 and $12.9 million in 1996. The improvement primarily reflected
higher gains on sales of equity securities in other companies. The Company
continues to hold equity positions that it intends to liquidate over time.

     The Company's effective tax rate for 1998 was 33%, compared to 32% in 1997
and 30% in 1996.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

OVERVIEW

     Tektronix continues to focus on improving the efficient management of the
capital invested in its business. To monitor that progress, the Company uses the
economic value added (EVA) measure. EVA is determined by the Company by
deducting taxes and a cost of capital charge from operating income, excluding
non-recurring charges, which management believes provides an objective means of
determining if the Company's earnings are able to cover the cost of financing
its invested capital. Invested capital is the average net assets of the Company
excluding cash and debt. The Company generated EVA of $40.6 million in 1998,
compared to $21.8 million in 1997 and $11.9 million in 1996. The improvement in
1998 is a result of both the strong earnings for the year, exclusive of
non-recurring charges, and continued improvements in invested capital, as
average accounts receivable and average inventories both decreased from 1997.


LIQUIDITY

     The Company's financial condition continues to be strong. Cash flows from
operating activities and borrowing capacity are expected to be sufficient to
fund operations and capital expenditures through May 2000. Cash provided by
operations of $167.8 million in 1998 was sufficient to fund capital expenditures
for increased manufacturing capacity. The Company expects that cash payments
required to carry out the remaining restructuring activities will be
approximately $8.0 million. At May 30, 1998, the Company maintained bank credit
facilities totaling $307.6 million, of which $303.1 million was unused. Unused
facilities include $153.1 million in lines of credit and $150.0 million under a
revolving credit agreement from United States and foreign banks. Additional
details, including maturity dates of agreements and certain financial covenants,
are included under "Short-term and Long-term Debt" in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.


BALANCE SHEET

     Current assets decreased by $2.8 million from 1997. Cash decreased $22.2
million as funds were expended to invest in facilities for continued growth of
Color Printing and Imaging and for the acquisition of CTE. Accounts receivable
increased by $40.5 million, due in part to an increase in year over year sales
in the fourth quarter. Average days sales outstanding for the year improved from
54.6 days in 1997 to 51.1 days in 1998. Inventories decreased by $23.7 million
as Video and Networking streamlined product offerings allowing for significantly
lower inventory requirements. Color Printing and Imaging inventories were down
slightly for the year despite increasing sales and orders.

     Net property, plant and equipment increased by $82.0 million due to capital
expenditures of $155.1 million in 1998, primarily related to the expansion of
manufacturing capacity for Color Printing and Imaging.

     Net deferred tax assets increased $21.9 million due to timing differences
related to restructuring activities and a decline in the deferred tax liability
related to unrealized holding gains as securities were sold and market prices on
the remaining holdings declined. Other long-term assets declined by $31.7
million due to the disposition of certain of the Company's available-for-sale
securities, offset by the acquisition of identified intangibles.

     Current liabilities increased by $45.7 million primarily due to increases
in trade payables, accrued compensation for incentive plans, and accruals
related to the remaining restructuring activities.

     Shareholders' equity increased by $13.6 million, or 2%, over 1997. Earnings
net of dividends of $59.1 million was offset by a decrease in unrealized holding
gains of $28.7 million and a decrease in the currency adjustment of $13.6
million.

DERIVATIVES AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE

     The Company has exposure to interest-rate risk, primarily from its use of
short-term and long-term borrowings to finance operations, and to investment
risk, primarily from its equity investment portfolio. The Company has not
entered into any derivatives to hedge against these interest-rate or investment
risks.

     The Company is also exposed to exchange-rate risk on transactions and
commitments denominated in foreign currencies and uses foreign exchange
contracts to mitigate this risk. Changes in foreign exchange rates are not
expected to have a significant effect on the Company's financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. The Company's policy is to only enter into
derivative transactions when the company has an identifiable exposure to risk,
and to only enter into such transactions with creditworthy financial
institutions.


FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 130 establishes requirements for
disclosure of comprehensive income and becomes effective for the first quarter
ending August 1998. Reclassification of earlier financial statements for
comparative purposes is required. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for
disclosure about operating segments in annual financial statements and selected
information in interim financial reports. The new disclosures will first be
presented in the Company's annual report for the fiscal year ending May 1999.
Information presented for earlier years will be restated for comparative
purposes. Adoption of these statements may result in additional disclosures but
will have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." The new statement will require recognition
of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair
value. The new statement is effective for fiscal year 2001, but early adoption
is encouraged. Management has not completed an evaluation of the effects this
standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


YEAR 2000

     In connection with the Company's ongoing program to standardize and upgrade
its key internal financial, information and operational systems, an assessment
has been made of the ability of these systems to operate in, and to process
transactions and data involving, the year 2000 and beyond. The Company believes
that all key internal systems that are not already year 2000 ready will be
modified, upgraded or replaced prior to the year 2000. The Company is currently
engaged in assessing the capability of its products to handle the transition to
and operate in the year 2000, and has a plan in place to address product issues
prior to the year 2000. The Company is working with major suppliers and
customers to resolve year 2000 interface issues. Management believes that the
cost of these projects over the next two years will not have a material effect
on the Company's financial position or overall trends in results of operations.
However, because of the existence of numerous systems and related components
within the Company and the interdependency of these systems, it is possible that
certain systems at the Company, or systems at entities that provide services or
goods for the Company, may fail to operate in the year 2000. Although it is not
currently anticipated, the inability to complete the Company's year 2000 plans
on a timely basis or the failure of a system at the Company or at an entity that
provides services or goods to the Company may have a material impact on future
operating results or financial condition.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Statements and information included in the Chairman's letter and Management
Review and elsewhere in this report that relate to the Company's goals,
strategies and expectations as to future results and events are based on the
Company's current expectations. They constitute forward looking statements
subject to a number of risk factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those currently expected or desired. As with many high
technology companies, risk factors that could cause the Company's actual results
or activities to differ materially from these forward looking statements
include, but are not limited to: worldwide economic and business conditions in
the electronics industry, including the continuing effect of the Asian economic
crisis on demand for the Company's products; competitive factors, including
pricing pressures, technological developments and products offered by
competitors; changes in product and sales mix, and the related effects on gross
margins; the Company's ability to deliver a timely flow of competitive new
products, and market acceptance of these products; the availability of parts and
supplies from third party suppliers on a timely basis and at reasonable prices;
inventory risks due to changes in market demand or the Company's business
strategies; changes in effective tax rates; customer demand; currency
fluctuations; the fact that a substantial portion of the Company's sales are
generated from orders received during the quarter, making prediction of
quarterly revenues and earnings difficult; and other risk factors listed from
time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission reports and in
press releases.

     Additional risk factors specific to the Company's current plans and
expectations that could cause the Company's actual results or activities to
differ materially from those stated include: the significant operational issues
the Company faces in executing its strategy in Video and Networking; the timely
introduction of new products scheduled during the Company's fiscal year, which
could be affected by engineering or other development program slippages, the
ability to ramp up production or to develop effective sales channels; the
customers' acceptance of, and demand for, those products; and changes in the
regulatory environment affecting the transition to high-definition television
within the time frame anticipated by the Company.

     Forward looking statements in this report speak only as of the date made.
The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any
revisions to these forward looking statements which may be made to reflect
subsequent events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

THE COMPANY

     Tektronix, Inc. ("Tektronix" or "the Company") is a global high-technology
company based on a portfolio of measurement, color printing, and video and
networking businesses. Headquartered in Wilsonville, Oregon, Tektronix employs
more than 8,600 people and maintains operations in 25 countries outside the
United States.  Tektronix was founded in 1946.


FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tektronix and
its majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments in joint ventures and
minority-owned companies where the Company exercises significant influence are
accounted for on the equity basis. Significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated. Certain items have been reclassified to conform
with the current year's presentation with no effect on previously reported
earnings.

     The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimated.


EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic earnings per share is based on the average number of common shares
outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the
potential shares issuable upon assumed exercise of outstanding stock options
based on the treasury stock method. All share, per share and option amounts have
been restated to give effect to the three-for-two stock split effective October
31, 1997.


FISCAL YEAR

     The Company's fiscal year is the 52 or 53 weeks ending the last Saturday in
May. Fiscal years 1998 and 1996 were 52 weeks; fiscal year 1997 was 53 weeks.


FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

     For most non-U.S. subsidiaries, the local currency is the functional
currency, and, therefore, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S.
dollars at current exchange rates, and net earnings are translated at average
exchange rates for the year. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of
net assets are reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Gains
and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net earnings.


DERIVATIVES

     Gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts used to hedge existing
assets and liabilities are recognized in income in the period in which the
related hedged transaction occurs. Gains and losses related to hedges of firm
commitments are deferred and included in the basis of the hedged transaction
when it is completed.


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits in banks and highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of
purchase.


ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

     Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for doubtful
accounts, which was $4.8 million in 1998 and $3.1 million in 1997. The charges
to this reserve have not been material.

                                       12
<PAGE>

     On September 10, 1996, the Company entered into a five-year revolving
receivable purchase agreement with Citibank NA to sell, without recourse, an
undivided interest of up to $50.0 million in a defined pool of trade accounts
receivable. Receivables of $50.0 million sold under this agreement were
reflected as operating cash flows in the Statements of Cash Flows for the year
ended May 31, 1997.



INVENTORIES

     The company periodically evaluates its inventory in terms of obsolete or
slow-moving items. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost
is determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is based on
the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from ten to forty years for
buildings and three to seven years for machinery and equipment, and is generally
provided using the straight-line method.

</TABLE>


INVESTMENTS

     Investments in marketable equity securities are classified as
available-for-sale and reported at fair market value in the consolidated balance
sheets as other long-term assets. The unrealized holding gains and losses are
excluded from earnings and reported, net of deferred income taxes, as a separate
component of shareholders' equity.


INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Intangible assets are included as other long-term assets at cost.
Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over periods generally not
exceeding fifteen years. Long-lived assets and intangibles are reviewed for
impairment when events or circumstances indicate costs may not be recoverable.
If impairment exists, the asset's book value will be written down to its fair
value.


INCOME TAXES

     Deferred income taxes, reflecting the impact of temporary differences
between the assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes
and amounts recognized for tax purposes, are based on tax laws currently
enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is
more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.


ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS

     The Company accrues environmental costs when it is probable that the
Company has incurred a liability and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 130 establishes requirements for
disclosure of comprehensive income and becomes effective for the first quarter
ending August 1998. Reclassification of earlier financial statements for
comparative purposes is required. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for
disclosure about operating segments in annual financial statements and selected
information in interim financial reports. The new disclosures will first be
presented in the Company's annual report for the fiscal year ending May 1999.
Information presented for earlier years will be restated for comparative
purposes. Adoption of these statements may result in additional disclosures but
will have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." The new statement will require recognition
of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair
value. The new statement becomes effective in fiscal year 2001, but early
adoption is encouraged. Management has not completed an evaluation of the
effects this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.


ACQUISITION

     On September 30, 1997, the Company acquired Siemens' Communications Test
Equipment GmbH (CTE), a wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens AG based in Berlin,
Germany, for $46.6 million in cash, including direct acquisition costs. The
transaction was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting, and
accordingly, the results of operations of CTE have been included in the
Company's financial statements since the date of acquisition. Pro forma
comparative results of operations are not presented because they are not
materially different from the Company's reported results of operations. The
purchase price was allocated as follows:

</TABLE>

     The identified intangibles include $18.0 million of completed technology
and $5.0 million of workforce-in-place and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 15 years.

     The completed technology of $18.0 million acquired consists of several
products in the telecommunications test equipment market that supplemented the
company's current product offerings. The valuation of the completed technology
was determined by calculating the net present value of future cash flows based
on predicted revenues and expenses associated with the existing products. A
discount rate of 16% was used in the valuation of the completed technology.

     The acquired in-process research and development ("IPR&D") of $17.0 million
was comprised of several projects in the telecommunication test equipment
market. The value of the IPR&D was expensed in the second quarter of fiscal year
1998 because at the time of the acquisition technological feasibility had not
been established and no future alternative uses existed for any of the projects.

     To determine the valuation of in-process technology, management considered
the state of development of each project, the expected time and cost to complete
each project, the expected income from the projects, and the risks associated
with the development. These risks include technological feasibility issues,
demand for the final products, and competition. The Income Approach was utilized
in determining the valuation of the IPR&D. This approach determines the net
present value of the future cash flows based on predicted revenues and costs
associated with the first generation of products, using a discount rate
commensurate with the risks identified. A discount rate of 26% was used in the
valuation of the IPR&D.


                                       14
<PAGE>

         Research and development costs to bring the projects from the acquired
company to technological feasibility were approximately $5.0 million, and the
products were completed at various dates during fiscal year 1998 and fiscal year
1999.

RESTRUCTURING

     In the second quarter of 1998, the Company announced and began to implement
a restructuring plan designed to return the Video and Networking business to
profitability. A pre-tax provision of $60.0 million was recorded to account for
these actions, which included streamlining its product offerings and reducing
the unit's cost structure to increase operational efficiency. The plan has
resulted in the separation of certain employees worldwide and the exiting of
certain facilities and product lines at an expected total cost of $21.5 million.
These costs are included in non-recurring charges for the year ended May 30,
1998 in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, the decision to
streamline product offerings required a $38.5 million write-down of inventories,
which is included in cost of sales for the year ended May 30, 1998 in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cash required for these actions is
approximately $15.8 million. As of May 30, 1998, $9.2 million of this cash has
been spent, with the remainder to be paid out through the second quarter of
1999.



The restructuring charges incurred during the quarter ended November 29, 1997
affected the Company's financial position in the following manner:

     In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are
parties to various legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters
involving patent infringement and other intellectual property claims. Although
it is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company and its
subsidiaries will ultimately be successful in any of these legal matters or, if
not, what the impact might be, the Company believes that disposition of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows.

</TABLE>

     The Company accounts for stock options according to APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under APB No. 25, no compensation
expense is recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements for
employee stock options because the exercise price of the options equals the
market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Alternatively, under
the fair value method of accounting provided for by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation," the measurement of compensation cost is based on
the fair value of employee stock options at the grant date and requires the use
of option pricing models to value the options. The weighted average estimated
fair value of options granted during 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $12, $11 and $10
per share, respectively.


                                       20
<PAGE>

     The Company also has plans for certain executives and outside directors
that provide stock-based compensation other than options. Under APB No. 25,
compensation cost for these plans is measured based on the market price of the
stock at the date the terms of the award become fixed. Under the fair value
approach of SFAS No. 123, compensation cost is measured based on the market
price of the stock at the grant date. The weighted average grant-date fair value
of the shares granted under these plans during 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $41, $31
and $25 per share, respectively. The total shares granted under these plans and
the compensation cost recognized in income were not material.

     The pro forma impact to both net earnings and earnings per share from
calculating stock-related compensation cost consistent with the fair value
alternative of SFAS No. 123 is indicated below:

     For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
stock-based awards is amortized over the vesting period. Because SFAS No. 123 is
applicable only to awards granted after May 27, 1995, the pro forma effect will
not be fully reflected until 1999.


SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     In August 1990, the Company's Board of Directors approved a shareholder
rights agreement and declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding
common share. Each right entitles the holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a
share of no par preferred stock at an exercise price of $60, subject to
adjustment. Generally, the rights become exercisable ten days after a person or
group acquires or commences a tender offer that would result in beneficial
ownership of 20% or more of the common shares. In addition, the rights become
exercisable if any party becomes the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the
outstanding common shares and is determined by the Board to be an adverse party.
Upon the occurrence of certain additional events specified in the shareholder
rights agreement, each right would entitle its holder to purchase common shares
of the Company (or, in some cases, a potential acquiring company) or other
property having a value of twice the right's exercise price. The rights, which
are not currently exercisable, expire in September 2000, but may be redeemed by
action of the Board prior to that time, under certain circumstances, for $0.01
per right.

BENEFIT PLANS

PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

     The Company has defined benefit retirement plans covering most employees.
The U.S. pension plan was amended in 1998, converting it from a final average
pay plan to a cash balance plan. Under the new plan, an initial account was
established for all participants who were active employees as of December 31,
1997. Beginning January 1, 1998, a specified percentage of eligible compensation
will be credited to each participant's account. In addition, each participant's
account will earn interest credits, based on the one-year Treasury Bill rate
plus 0.5%. Upon separation from Tektronix, participating employees may choose to
have their account balances paid to them in the form of a lump sum amount or as
an annuity. As a result of this plan amendment, the pension benefit obligation
was reduced by $38.9 million, which is being amortized as a reduction in pension
expense over the average remaining service period of the active participants in
the plan.

     For 1998, the Company increased the expected long-term rate of return
assumption to reflect historical rates of return on plan assets. As a result of
this change, pension expense in 1998 was reduced by $3.8 million. The retirement
rate assumption was also revised to reflect actual demographic experience. As a
result of this change, the pension benefit obligation as of May 30, 1998, was
increased by $5.5 million. Finally, upon transition to the cash balance plan on
January 1, 1998, the discount rate was reduced to reflect current market
conditions. The impact of this change was to increase the pension benefit
obligation by $63.9 million.

     The following tables provide information about changes in the benefit
obligation and plan assets and the funded status of the Company's pension and
postretirement benefit plans.

     Effective July 1, 1998, the Company replaced its self-funded indemnity
health plan for retirees with an insured indemnity plan. Accordingly, the
assumed health care cost trend rates used to measure the expected cost of
benefits were adjusted to reflect the terms of the new plan. As a result, the
annual rate of change in the cost of health care benefits for 1999 under the new
indemnity plan was assumed to be a decrease of 14.3% for participants under the
age of 65 and an increase of 4.7% for participants age 65 and over. These rates
were assumed to increase to 13.5% and 16.0%, respectively, for 2000 and 2001,
and then were assumed to decrease gradually until they reach an ultimate rate of
5.3% and 5.5%, respectively, in 2007. For the existing retiree HMO plans, the
rate of increase in the cost of health care benefits was assumed to be 9.8% for
1999, decreasing gradually to a rate of 5.3% in 2004 and remaining at that level
thereafter. A 1% change in these assumptions would not have a material effect on
either the postretirement benefit obligation at May 30, 1998, or the benefit
credit reported for 1998.

EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN

     The Company has an employee savings plan that qualifies as a deferred
salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Participating U.S. employees may defer up to 15% of their compensation, subject
to certain regulatory limitations. Employee contributions are invested, at the
employees' direction, among a variety of investment alternatives. The Company's
matching contribution, which was previously invested entirely in Company stock,
was increased from 3% to 4% of compensation effective January 1, 1998, and may
now be invested in any one of the 401(k) plan funds. In addition, the Company
contributes Company stock to the plan for all eligible employees equal to 2% of
compensation. The Company's total contributions were approximately $16.4 million
in 1998, $14.2 million in 1997, and $12.1 million in 1996.


DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce the impact
of foreign exchange risks where internal netting strategies cannot be
effectively employed. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial
instruments for trading purposes. The Company's derivative activities do not
create risk because fluctuations in the value of the instruments used for
hedging purposes are offset by fluctuations in the value of the underlying
exposures being hedged.

     The notional or contract amounts of the hedging instruments do not
represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of the
Company's exposure due to the use of derivatives. The amounts exchanged are
calculated on the basis of the notional amounts and other terms of the
instruments. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of
nonperformance by counterparties to financial instruments. However, the Company
has entered into these instruments with creditworthy financial institutions and
considers the risk of nonperformance to be remote.


FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK MANAGEMENT

     The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exchange rate
risks. At the end of 1998 and 1997, the notional amounts of the Company's
outstanding contracts were $127.4 million and $113.6 million, respectively.
Generally, these contracts have maturities that do not exceed one year and
require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. dollars at maturity.
The purpose of the Company's hedging activities is to reduce the risk that the
eventual cash flows of the underlying assets, liabilities and firm commitments
will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. The deferred gains or
losses attributable to foreign exchange contracts are not material.


FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     For short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, short-term debt, accounts payable and accrued compensation,
the carrying amount approximates the fair value because of the immediate or
short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value of marketable equity
securities is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The fair
value of long-term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices for similar
instruments or by discounting expected cash flows at rates currently available
to the Company for instruments with similar risks and maturities. The
differences between the fair values and carrying amounts of the Company's
financial instruments, including derivatives, at May 30, 1998, and May 31, 1997,
were not material.


CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable.
The risk is limited due to the large number of entities comprising the Company's
customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and
geographies. At May 30, 1998, the Company had no significant concentrations of
credit risk.
