Independent Auditors' Review Report
The Board of Directors
Zebra Technologies Corporation:
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Zebra Technologies
Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 29, 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings for the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995 and consolidated statements of cash
flows for the six months ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We
have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Zebra Technologies Corporation
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995, and the related consolidated
statements of earnings, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year
then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 13, 1996,
we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, is fairly presented, in
all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from
which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
Zebra Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company"), without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's latest Annual Report to Stockholders (the "Annual
Report") incorporated by reference into the Company's Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1995 presented herein has been derived from the audited
consolidated balance sheet contained in the Annual Report. In the opinion
of the Company, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Zebra
Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 29, 1996 and December
31, 1995, and the consolidated results of their operations for the three-
month and six-month periods ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995 and cash
flows for the six months ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995. The results
of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the full year.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results ofOperations
Results of Operations Second Quarter of 1996 versus Second Quarter of 1995
and Year-to-date 1996 versus Year-to-date 1995
Net sales of $40,490,000 for the second quarter of 1996 increased 14.1% over
net sales of $35,488,000 for the second quarter of 1995. On a year-to-date
basis, 1996 net sales of $78,842,000 increased 12.8% over last year's net
sales of $69,880,000. The net sales increase for the quarter and year-to-date
is attributed to unit growth in all product categories rather than price
increases, as the average unit price of printer products has decreased due to
product mix changes. Printer sales increased by 11.0% and supplies sales by
7.8% over the second quarter of 1995, bringing printer sales to 71.7% and
supplies sales to 23.2% of consolidated net sales, respectively. On a year-
to-date basis, printer sales increased by 9.1% and supplies sales by 5.3%
over 1995, bringing printer sales to 70.5% and supplies sales to 23.7% of
consolidated net sales, respectively. Approximately 43.2% of second quarter
net sales were derived from international sources as compared to 44.6% during
the second quarter of 1995. Similarly, 43.5% of year-to-date net sales were
derived from international sources as compared to 44.7% in the prior year.
Gross profit increased to $19,391,000 for the second quarter of 1996, a 16.8%
gain over the gross profit of $16,601,000 for the same period last year. As
a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased 1.1% from 46.8% in the
second quarter of last year to 47.9% in the second quarter of 1996. Year-
to-date gross profit of $37,823,000 also increased as a percentage of net
sales, from 47.3% last year to 48.0% this year. The increase in gross profit
is due principally to favorable mix changes within the Company's printer
product sales and a lower percentage of supplies sales.
Sales and marketing expenses of $4,941,000 were up 60.3% in the second
quarter of 1996 versus the same period last year. As a percentage of net
sales, sales and marketing expenses increased to 12.2% for the second quarter
from 8.7% last year. Year-to-date sales and marketing expenses of $9,581,000
were up 56.6% over last year, increasing as a percentage of net sales from
8.8% last year to 12.2%. Increased spending on a quarterly and year-to-date
basis is principally due to expenses required to develop the retail channel
of distribution for the Company's software products, as well as increased
staffing at the Company's Vernon Hills and High Wycombe facilities that are
necessary to support anticipated sales growth. These expense increases were
offset in part by reductions in co-op advertising and outside consulting
services in comparison to last year on both a quarterly and year-to-date
basis.
Research and development expenses in the second quarter of 1996 increased by
91.5% to $3,013,000 (7.4% of net sales) versus $1,573,000 (4.4% of net sales)
in the second quarter of 1995. Year-to-date research and development expenses
increased by 71.2% to $5,687,000 (7.2% of net sales) versus $3,322,000 (4.8%
of net sales) last year. The Company increased research and development
expenses to support several significant product releases scheduled for the
June to August time frame, including the XiII printer series and the 170 PAX
print engine, among others. Management believes that product development
expenses will trend down as a percentage of sales, as absolute dollar
expenditures in this area are expected to stabilize in the near term and
sales revenue increases.
General and administrative expenses increased by 91.4% to $3,484,000 (8.6% of
net sales) in the second quarter of 1996 compared to $1,820,000 (5.1% of net
sales) last year. On a year-to-date basis, general and administrative
expenses increased by 68.9% to $6,796,000 (8.6% of net sales) compared to
$4,023,000 (5.8% of net sales) last year. The increase in general and
administrative expenses for the quarter and year-to-date on both a dollar and
percentage basis was primarily the result of increases in staffing,
depreciation, and mainframe computer expenses. The expenses were offset in
part by reductions in outside consulting services. Also included is $137,000
in the second quarter and $274,000 for the year-to-date for amortization of
intangible assets and goodwill resulting from the Company's acquisition of
Vertical Technologies, Inc. In addition, $17,000 in the second quarter and
$34,000 for the year-to-date is included for amortization of intangible
assets and goodwill resulting from the Company's acquisition of the assets of
Fenestra Computer Services, as described in the Liquidity and Capital
Resources section below.
Compared to the previous year, income from operations in the second quarter
of 1996 decreased by $2,173,000 to $7,953,000 as the result of higher
operating expenses. Year-to-date income from operations decreased by
$4,972,000 compared to the previous year, also the result of higher operating
expenses, and because of a $1,114,000 non-recurring write-off of acquired
in-process technology related to the Company's acquisiton of the assets of
Fenestra Computer Services in the first quarter of 1996. As a percentage of
net sales, operating profits in the second quarter were 19.6% in 1996
compared to 28.5% in 1995. Year-to-date, operating profits as a percentage
of net sales were 18.6% in 1996 versus 28.1% in the previous year.
Investment income for the second quarter of 1996 increased by $577,000 or
65.7% to $1,455,000 versus $878,000 for the second quarter of 1995. On a
year-to-date basis, investment income increased by $1,073,000 or 63.6% to
$2,759,000 versus $1,686,000 in 1995. On both a quarterly and year to date
basis the Company had larger cash balances invested and was able to earn a
higher rate of return than in the comparable period from 1995. On a year to
date basis, average cash and marketable securities increased from $60,555,000
in 1995 to $75,517 in 1996. In 1995 the annualized year to date return on
these funds was 5.6%, compared to a return of 7.3% for the comparable period
in 1996.
Income before income taxes for the second quarter of 1996 of $9,487,000 was
$1,596,000 or 14.4% below the prior year amount of $11,083,000 for the same
period. The provision for income taxes was 34.0% in the second quarter of
1996, resulting in net income of $6,260,000 or 15.5% of net sales and net
income per share of $0.26 on 24,198,000 weighted average shares outstanding.
In the second quarter of 1995, the provision for income taxes was 36.0%
resulting in net income of $7,092,000 or 20.0% of net sales and net income
per share of $0.29 on 24,081,000 weighted average shares outstanding. Year-
to-date income before income taxes of $17,459,000 was $4,071,000 or 18.9%
below the prior year amount of $21,530,000 for the same period. The
provision for income taxes on a year-to-date basis was 34.0% in 1996,
resulting in net income of $11,509,000 or 14.6% of net sales and net income
per share of $0.48 on 24,194,000 weighted average shares outstanding. On a
year-to-date basis, the provision for income taxes in 1995 was 36.3%
resulting in net income of $13,704,000 or 19.6% of net sales and net income
per share of $0.57 on 24,076,000 weighted average shares outstanding.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's principal sources of liquidity continue to be cash generated
from operations. At the end of the second quarter, the Company had
$79,175,000 in cash and marketable securities versus $71,858,000 at the end
of 1995.
Effective February 16, 1996, the Company purchased the assets of Fenestra
Computer Services, a UK partnership, in exchange for $1,314,000 in the form
of cash and Zebra Class A common stock. The transaction has been accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting. Assets and liabilities,
including software and hardware technology, and trade names have been
recorded at their respective fair market values with $1,114,000 assigned
to acquired in-process technology based on an independent third-party
appraisal.
Management believes that existing capital resources and funds generated from
operations are sufficient to finance anticipated capital requirements. The
Company has no commitments or agreements with respect to acquisitions or
other significant capital expenditures.
