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 on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996. The results of operations for the three-month periodthree- and six-month periods ended DecemberMarch 31, 19961997 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. Discontinued operations include the Automotive business (Automotive), the Aerospace and Defense businesses (A&D Business) and the Graphic Systems business (Graphic Systems). In March 1997, the company announced its intention to spin-off Automotive into a new, separately traded, publicly held company. The spin-off is subject to several conditions including receipt of a ruling by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service that the transaction will qualify as a tax-free distribution. The shares of the new Automotive company will be distributed to Rockwell shareowners with each shareowner receiving one share of the new Automotive company for every three shares of Rockwell owned. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the company's 1997 fiscal year. On December 6, 1996, the company completed the merger of its Aerospace and Defense businesses (AA&D Business)Business with The Boeing Company (Boeing) in a tax-free transaction valued at approximately $3.2 billion, including the assumption by Boeing of approximately $2.3 billion of liabilities, principally debt. Boeing issued approximately $860 million of its stock in exchange for the company's shareowners' interest in the A&D Business. Immediately prior to the merger, the company transferred its Automation, Avionics & Communications, Semiconductor Systems, and Automotive businesses to a new company (New Rockwell), which has retained the Rockwell name, and is reflected in the financial statements as the continuing operations of Rockwell for all periods presented.name. On the effective date of the transaction, shares of New Rockwell were distributed to the company's shareowners on a one-for-one basis, all shares of Common Stock held in treasury were canceled, and the net liabilities of the A&D Business of approximately $1.1 billion were recorded as an increase to shareowners' equity. In October 1996, the company completed the sale of Graphic Systems to an affiliate of Stonington Partners, Inc. for approximately $600 million.

-9-Sales for 1997's second quarter were six percent higher than 1996's second quarter. Both Automation and Avionics & Communications achieved double digit sales growth which was partially offset by lower sales in Semiconductor Systems due to the product transition to the new K56flex modem chipsets. For the quarter, international sales accounted for 36 percent of total sales, the same as last year's second quarter. Income from continuing operations totaled $155 million for 1997's second quarter, up 28 percent from $121 million in the comparable quarter last year. Earnings per share from continuing operations for 1997's second quarter was 72 cents, an increase of 31 percent over 1996's comparable second quarter performance of 55 cents per share. The higher percentage increase in earnings per share resulted from the company's stock repurchase program. 11 ROCKWELL INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Automation: Automation earnings increased 21 percent over last year's second quarter as a result of a 10 percent sales growth, principally in North America and Asia, combined with continued productivity improvements and product cost reductions. Automation's second quarter earnings as a percent of sales were 13 percent compared to 12 percent last year. Avionics & Communications: Avionics & Communications earnings were more than double 1996's second quarter results primarily due to improved commercial air transport markets and last year's $11 million charge related to the Fokker N.V. bankruptcy. Avionics & Communications earnings as a percent of sales rose to 14 percent from 7 percent in last year's second quarter. Semiconductor Systems: Second quarter Semiconductor Systems earnings were 13 percent below last year's second quarter due primarily to the transition to the new K56flex modem chipsets. The 19 percent return on sales matched last year's second quarter as investments to implement more cost-effective manufacturing processes have reduced Semiconductor Systems' cost to produce wafers as compared to the higher proportion of more expensive external foundry wafers required a year ago. Discontinued Operations: For the 1997 second quarter, Automotive's sales totaled $822 million, slightly below 1996's second quarter. Automotive's income, after tax, was $34 million for the 1997 second quarter compared to $39 million in 1996's second quarter which included an $8 million after-tax gain on the sale of a plant. Including the discontinued Automotive business, net income for the second quarter of 1997 totaled $189 million, or $.87 per share. Comparable income for the same period in 1996 was $160 million, or $.74 per share. Last year's net income including the earnings of the divested A&D and Graphic Systems businesses, as well as the discontinued Automotive business, was $214 million, or $.98 per share.
