To Our Shareowners



Throughout our thirty year history, Marquette has established itself as a leader
in developing technology for healthcare. Our organization has always prized 
innovation, but also has an infrastructure to support growth, and is positioned 
to capitalize on the fundamental changes taking place in healthcare.

We believe the acquisition of E for M Corporation in the third quarter will 
greatly enhance our long-term potential.  A respected developer of healthcare 
systems and equipment since 1951, E for M is a well-known and highly regarded 
brand name in the medical community. Its largest subsidiary, Hellige GmbH, has a
strong German/European franchise in healthcare equipment dating back 100 years.

Results in 1996 reflect the actions required to forge a new Marquette.  By the 
end of fiscal 1996, all non-recurring charges relating to the E for M 
acquisition had been recorded, and the integration of E for M with Marquette 
was complete, including redundant facility closings, relocations, product line 
consolidations, and staffing reductions.  We enter 1997 anticipating a definite 
and positive contribution to earnings from E for M, and far greater market 
penetration for Marquette, especially in Europe.

In the normal course of our business, excluding one-time charges relating to the
E for M acquisition, net income for the year was $13.3 million, or $0.82 per 
share.  With the acquisition completed, we elected to record $39.7 million on 
one-time write-offs and non-recurring restructuring expenses, resulting in a net
loss for the year of $24.9 million, or $1.53 per share.  Net sales for fiscal 
year 1996, including E for M sales for the last four months of the year, were 
$416.3 million, up 21.7% from net sales of $342.2 million for fiscal year 1995. 
Fiscal 1996 ended on a strong note; fourth quarter income from operations, 
excluding restructuring expenses, surpassed last year's level.

Looking ahead to fiscal 1997 and beyond, we are excited about the opportunities 
to improve financial performance and growth.  The changes we have made bring us 
closer to our goals by adding new strengths to Marquette:

 
  . Our product breadth, distribution channels, and market opportunities are
significantly greater than just two years ago.

  . Marquette's annual revenues are expected to exceed the half-billion-dollar
level in fiscal 1997, giving us significant worldwide presence with 35%-40% of
our base in international markets.

  . Long-standing business and technological partnerships with our customers
- --hospitals and integrated healthcare delivery networks in the U.S. and
worldwide--have been broadened and strengthened.

  . Manufacturing and engineering capacity at our six production facilities can
now support our growth through 1997 with no meaningful addition to fixed costs.

   Marquette's 15-year unbroken record of increased revenues is due chiefly to
our ability to develop systems that enable customers to improve patient care
while better managing costs. Along with maintaining our customer focus, we
intend to capitalize on our new strategic strength, increase our profitability,
and provide shareholders with an optimum long-term return on their investment.

Sincerely,



/s/ Timothy C. Mickelson                     /s/ Michael J. Cudahy

Stability and Evolution


[PHOTO]

The new Solar(R) 9000 anesthesia information monitor provides almost limitless 
flexibility.  Part of the Marquette Unity Network (TM), the Solar 9000 offers a 
convenient "one-look" modern windows-style display that shows all data, 
customized formats, and operation so simple it feels like second nature even to 
first-time users.


Even for Marquette -- a company built on entrepreneurial risk-taking and 
visionary thinking -- the past year has been a period of extraordinary change.

  We tapped into new leadership, strengthened our presence in Europe, introduced
world-class products, added many new employees, consolidated facilities, re-
organized into eight divisions, became the number one cath lab supplier in the
world -- and even tinkered with our name.

  But one thing we didn't change was our mindset.

  We still believe that Marquette's greatest strength is our ability to listen 
and then deliver innovative technologies that make a real difference to 
patients, physicians, clinicians, and the people who manage the business side of
healthcare.  Today we call it "improving cost and quality outcomes."  Thirty 
years ago, we called it "meeting customers' needs."  
 
  It's the same thing.  Marquette continues to evolve so that we can continue to
help our customers succeed.

What's in a name?

  This year the company acknowledged what the world already knows: that
Marquette produces much more than electronic "instruments." Clinical information
today is gathered from many sources, and our "systems" have become the most
important part of our business. To reflect this evolution, we are now calling
ourselves Marquette Medical Systems instead of Marquette Electronics.

                      [LOGO OF MARQUETTE MEDICAL SYSTEMS]

  Today, no monitor is an island.  What we offer to customers must either be a 
medical system or fit into a system.  How well our products sell is increasingly
a function of how successfully they integrate with hospital information systems 
and other equipment, including our competitors' products.

  The name change is also a clear reminder that Marquette is -- and always has 
been -- focused exclusively on healthcare.  Our resources are committed entirely
to making medical enterprises more efficient, from the NICU to home care.

4

 
     Of course, this change will have only a minor effect on our customers. Most
of them refer to our company simply as "Marquette" and identify our products the
same way.

     That's okay.  We prefer being on a first name basis with customers anyway.

THE MISSING LINK

     In rethinking our name, we've also taken a fresh look at our company 
positioning to make sure that Marquette is differentiated clearly in the 
marketplace.

     Our strength lies in data.  We gather, convert, store, and disseminate it. 
What makes us different from other companies that do the same thing? The quality
of our information, and our ability to make it easily and cost-effectively
available to all decision makers within the medical institution.

     Products like the MUSE(R) cardiovascular information system and the 
Quantitative Sentinel(R) clinical information system are prime examples of what
today's medical buyers are looking for: immediate, convenient access to accurate
data that enables them to make better decisions.

     More than providing devices or systems or networks, Marquette creates 
solutions that encompass all these elements in ways that optimize patient care, 
work flow, and economics.  In short, it's being the link between data and 
decision--the statement that defines Marquette's unique position in healthcare.

THE MUSE(R) CARDIOVASCULAR INFORMATION SYSTEM CONTINUES TO BE THE BEST SELLING 
SYSTEM OF ITS KIND IN THE WORLD, PROBABLY BECAUSE IT'S THE MOST VERSATILE.  THE 
MUSE SYSTEM GIVES PHYSICIANS AND MANAGERS IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO PATIENT RESULTS 
FROM CARDIOVASCULAR SERVICES AND TO VALUABLE CLINICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE 
OUTCOMES REPORTS.

Power through Change

In November 1995, Marquette took a major step in expanding the company's power 
to serve customers throughout the world by acquiring E for M Corporation.

     A manufacturer of cardiology, diagnostic imaging and patient monitoring
equipment since 1951, E for M is a well-known and highly regarded brand name in
the medical community. Its largest subsidiary -- Hellige GmbH of Germany, a
strong European franchise in healthcare systems and equipment -- was founded by
one of the pioneers in electrocardiography over 100 years ago.

     The acquisition dramatically increases the breadth and depth of Marquette's
existing product lines, and adds new medical imaging and electrophysiology cath
lab products to our portfolio. It also turns "local" distribution channels into
international highways for technology transfer.

     Hellige's leadership in European markets, for example, will open doors for
Marquette's monitoring systems. Cost-conscious buyers in the U.S., Latin
America, and the Asia-Pacific region will welcome the addition of Hellige's
electrocardiographs and exercise test systems to our cardiology offerings. The
combined resources of Marquette and E for M make us the largest, most complete
cath lab provider in the world.

     Although the acquisition will nearly double Marquette's revenues and the
size of our sales force, this change is not about making the company bigger.
It's about increasing the power of each Marquette representative to serve
today's customers. It's being able to enter the office of any healthcare
decision-maker in the world, confident that we have solutions that span the
entire price-performance spectrum.

     From office-based equipment to tertiary care systems, Marquette can now
satisfy all levels of the healthcare delivery system.

     The CardioSmart(TM) resting ECG system is Marquette's newest offering for
the rapidly growing non-hospital market. Configurable functionality gives
CardioSmart an edge over competitive systems. Users get a basic ECG system,
attractively priced, with the ability to add modular capabilities as needed.




[PHOTO HERE]

     The new OnlineABG(TM) Monitoring System delivers arterial blood gas values
at the point of care in about 60 seconds, with no blood handling and no blood
loss. Blood gas values are integrated on the Solar 8000 monitor display with
other vital signs information, providing a fast, accurate, and cost effective
solution for ventilator management.

     Hellige had been unable to get a foothold in Sweden, where Marquette was
strong. The situation changed with the Marquette Hellige alliance. The first
CardioSmart(R) resting ECG cardiograph was recently sold in that country.

Independent, yet Integrated


     The E for M acquisition is the latest in a series of strategic moves to
expand our resources, which included the Corometrics and QMI acquisition in
1994. One reason we were drawn to all of these companies was that their
entrepreneurial drive and independent spirit complemented Marquette's own
approach.

     The question then is -- how to integrate such companies without
disintegrating the unique strengths that made them so successful?

     First, to preserve the essential nature of the core businesses, we have
formed eight independent divisions within the Marquette family. Second, their
efforts will be focused through strong unified vision from management. Third,
all of these resources will be applied to help customers meet their objectives.
The eight divisions within Marquette are:

     CARDIOLOGY

     ECG equipment; exercise testing systems; Holter systems; MUSE(R)
     cardiovascular information system; MARS(R) Unity workstations,
     defibrillators.

     PATIENT MONITORING

     Monitoring solutions for general purpose and ambulatory monitoring, as well
     as critical care and anesthesia departments.

     COROMETRICS FETAL AND NEONATAL MONITORING

     Global leader in sophisticated perinatal and neonatal monitoring systems.

     E FOR M CATH LAB PRODUCTS

     The world's broadest array of cath lab solutions, including the Mac-Lab(R)
     system; Midas(R) system; CardioWindow(R) system; and E for M
     electrophysiology products.

     QMI CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS

     Point-of-care clinical information systems to automate hospital charting
     and integrate patient information throughout the hospital.

     The quality and efficiency of obstetric care is being improved with the 
Spectra-Tel(R) remote fetal monitoring system from the Corometrics division.  
Obstetricians can be "in two places at once" -- evaluating fetal data on 
actively laboring patients in the hospital, while also seeing patients in an 
outpatient setting.


     E FOR M IMAGING SYSTEMS

     Leading supplier of specialized cine films and related imaging services, as
     well as electronic imaging systems.

     SUPPLIES

     Everything needed to keep Marquette equipment performing at peak levels,
     from recording paper to lead wires and electrodes.

     SERVICE

     Highly trained technicians provide fast service on any Marquette product
     anywhere in the world, at any time day or night.

     This structure offers the best of both worlds to the customer: integrated,
strategically focused solutions across all care areas, supported by clinical and
technical depth within each care area.

     The challenge of integrating these divisions has been more logistical than
philosophical. After all, it was shared qualities, not differences, that brought
us together. A Marquette Engineering Manager put it best after meeting with
Hellige engineers from Germany: "Why shouldn't it work? We are very similar
people -- just operating in different time zones."

[PHOTE HERE]

     Marquette's entry to the low- to mid-range monitor market -- the Eagle(R)
3000 monitor -- is designed for lower-activity, non-transport applications. This
large market includes pre- and post-anesthesia care, outpatient surgery centers,
CUs in rural and small hospitals and free-standing emergency centers.

Change through Leadership


Marquette has also been an instrument of change in healthcare in the past year. 
Increasingly, the hospitals, networks, and payer organizations that benchmark 
the clinical, financial, and information management standards in healthcare are 
looking to Marquette for the answers.

CHEST PAIN CENTERS:  "THE CCUS OF THE 90's"

     Health disease is the number one cost factor in hospitals, the major cost
driver in health plans, and the fastest growing medical problem in our aging
population base.

     It's no wonder then that Marquette's Chest Pain Center solutions are
gaining so much attention. Perfected in collaboration with Dr. Tony Joseph,
president of American Medical Consulting, it's an alternative way to manage
patients with chest pain through continuous monitoring in an observation unit in
the ER.

     Chest Pain Centers can save lives and money. Dr. Joseph estimates that
medical accuracy potential heart attack management can be increased to more than
99%, while the per patient cost can be lowered by 75%.

     Many people believe that Chest Pain Centers will become as prevalent as
Coronary Care Units (CCUs). One HMO executive comments: "Often we see
improvements in medical technology that increase the quality of care but also
increase the cost. Here we have an improvement that reduces cost, which is what
employers are asking us to do."

MANAGED USE PROGRAM:  "THE MOST INNOVATIVE PROGRAM IN THE INDUSTRY"

     It's no longer a "we make it, you buy it" business. Under increasing
financial stain, medical customers expect us to share more than our best
thinking with them; they expect us to shoulder financial risk as well.

     That's why Marquette has developed the Managed Use(TM) program. One major
for-profit healthcare organization calls it "the single most innovative program
in the capital equipment industry."

[PHOTO HERE]

     The ST Guard(R) system is central to the success of Marquette's Chest Pain
Center solution. It displays patient data so that physicians can easily identify
serial ECG changes and make quicker, more informed diagnoses.

 
                                                                          [LOGO]

     The concept is simple but radical. Customers have a revenue-based expense,
with payment indexed to utilization. If patient use in affected areas -- like
the CCU, for example -- declines, so do payments. The Management use Program
combines the fiscal flexibility of a "fee for service" arrangement with the
traditionally lower rates of a long-term lease.

     Why do we do it? Because we trust the broad applicability of our equipment
and the savvy of our sales consultants to understand a provider's needs.

     We also believe that customers have the right to expect us to put our own
money where our products are.

INFORMATION SERVICES:  "CONSISTENCY IN A NON-CONSISTENT WORLD"

     Information Systems are a top priority and a major stress point for
healthcare enterprises these days. Marquette's Quantitative Sentinel(R) system
- -- an automated clinical information system -- is proving itself under the
scrutiny of the most demanding audiences.

     A 725-bed U.S. hospital conducted an 18-month feasibility study to evaluate
providers for automated ICU records. Our QS(R) product was selected because of
its practicality: "The 'real [paper] world' is not necessarily consistent, but
the QS offers conformity and consistency.

     Six months after installation, the selection team repeated the study and
reported these findings. The Quantitative Sentinel system improved charting
quality for 62% to 95%; saved more than $13,000 in overtime pay through more
efficient charting, enabled nurses to spend nearly an hour more on patient care
per shift; and increased positive cash flow at a projected annual rate of
$35,000 through more accurate documentation of patient charges.

     "We are fully confident in its capabilities," commented one team member.
Even given the size of the facility, "there is no question that the QS can
handle it."

     Perhaps the ability to inspire such trust -- and provide such quantifiable
benefits -- is why the QS clinical information system is Marquette's fastest
growing product line.

     Marquette's newest address is www.mei.com -- our home page on the World
Wide Web. Visited by about 7,000 people a day from all over the world, it
recently received the highest rating of any medical device company by an
independent website evaluation firm.

[PHOTO HERE]

     The Children's Medical Centre in Kazan is the site of the first MAC-Lab(R)
installation in Russia. An American doctor who came to demonstrate surgical
procedures was so impressed that he vowed to order a MAC-Lab for his facility in
California.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

APRIL 30, 1996, 1995 AND 1994 (Dollars In Thousands Except Per Share Data)

(1) Nature of Operations

        Marquette Electronics, Inc. (the "Company") is a multi-national
        manufacturer of medical electronic equipment and clinical information
        systems for the diagnosis and monitoring of patients requiring
        critical care. The Company's principal product lines include
        electrocardiographic equipment, patient monitors, clinical information
        systems, cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology laboratories,
        defibrillators and a complete line of supplies. The Company's
        principal markets are the major medical institutions and teaching
        hospitals, particularly those institutions specializing in the diagnosis
        and treatment of heart disease. The Company also markets its products to
        smaller hospitals, medical clinics, physician offices, government
        hospitals, research institutions, and providers of emergency care. The
        Company covers the United States market, most of Western Europe and
        Australia through its own sales force. The remainder of the
        international market is served by dealers.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-

    (a) Basis of consolidation-

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Marquette
        Electronics, Inc. and its foreign and domestic subsidiaries.  All
        significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
        in consolidation.

    (b) Revenue recognition-

        Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis when equipment and supplies
        are shipped.  Revenue for service contracts is recognized over the term
        of the contract, typically twelve months.  Costs related to service
        contracts are expensed as incurred.

    (c) Inventories-

        Inventories consist of the following:


 
 
                                                  April 30,
                                              ----------------
                                                1996     1995
                                              -------- -------
                                                  
        Raw materials and component parts      $35,716 $20,551
        Work-in-process and finished goods      45,869  33,561
        Inventory on loan or consignment        24,583  21,028
                                              -------- -------
                                              $106,168 $75,140
                                              ======== =======


        For its domestic inventories (representing 61% and 93% of total
        inventories at April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively), the Company
        employs the last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost method.  The first-in, first-
        out (FIFO) cost method is used for all remaining inventories.  If the
        FIFO cost method had been used for domestic inventories instead of the
        LIFO cost method, the carrying value assigned to inventories would have
        been $1,962 and $2,651 less at April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

    (d) Property and equipment-

        Property and equipment, along with improvements that significantly
        extend the useful life of existing assets, are carried at cost.
        Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated
        useful lives of the assets which

                                                                              17

 
MARQUETTE ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

APRIL 30, 1996, 1995 AND 1994 (Dollars In Thousands Except Per Share Data)
 
        range from 15-20 years for land improvements, 40-50 years for buildings
        and 3-7 years for equipment.

    (e) Research and development costs-

        Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.
        Such charges were $23,756, $22,501 and $17,413 in fiscal 1996, 1995 and
        1994, respectively.  The Company also charged to operations $35,700
        related to the write-off of acquired in-process research and development
        attributable to the E for M acquisition.  See Note 3 for further
        discussion of purchased research and development costs.

    (f) Advertising costs-

        Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred.  Such charges
        were $2,260, $1,691 and $1,755 in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994,
        respectively.

    (g) Cash and cash equivalents-

        For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company
        considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months
        or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

    (h) Foreign currency-

        Asset and liability accounts of the Company's foreign operations are
        translated at the current exchange rate, and income and expense accounts
        are translated at the average of the monthly exchange rates.  Gains and
        losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency financial
        statements are classified as a separate component of shareholders'
        equity.

        Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) totalling $744, $124, and
        $(490) are included in other income in the consolidated statements of
        income for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

        As a hedge against foreign accounts payable, the Company at times has
        entered into various forward exchange contracts to exchange foreign
        currencies for United States dollars at a fixed contract rate.  Market
        value gains and losses resulting from these contracts are recognized in
        the consolidated statements of income and offset foreign exchange gains
        or losses on the foreign payables at their maturity date.  As of April
        30, 1996, the Company has three such contracts to exchange various
        foreign currencies for a total contract amount of $758 and a maturity
        date of May 31, 1996.  The carrying value of these contracts
        approximates fair value.

    (i) Net income per Class A common share-

        Class C Common Stock participates in income with Class A Common Stock in
        the ratio of 1:100.  Consequently, the weighted average shares for
        calculating net income per Class A common share is equal to the sum of
        the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock
        outstanding and 1/100

18

 
MARQUETTE ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

APRIL 30, 1996, 1995 AND 1994 (Dollars In Thousands Except Per Share Data)
 
        of the weighted average number of shares of Class C Common Stock
        outstanding during the year.  Such weighted average shares were
        16,254,000, 16,172,000 and 16,090,000 for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994,
        respectively.

    (j) Goodwill-

        The excess of the purchase cost over the fair value of net assets
        acquired is being amortized over a range of 15-20 years on a straight-
        line basis.  The Company continually evaluates whether later events and
        circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful
        life of goodwill may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of
        goodwill may not be recoverable.  When factors indicate that goodwill
        should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an
        estimate of the related business segment's discounted net cash flows
        over the remaining life of the goodwill in measuring whether the
        goodwill is recoverable.  Goodwill (net of accumulated amortization) was
        $45,882 and $23,604 at April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
        Amortization of goodwill was $2,453 in fiscal 1996, $1,871 in fiscal
        1995 and $451 in fiscal 1994.  See Note 3 for further discussion related
        to the goodwill attributable to the E for M and Corometrics
        acquisitions.  In March, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
        ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
        Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", which
        addresses accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets that either
        will be held and used in operations or that will be disposed of.  The
        Company does not believe that the adoption of this statement on May 1,
        1996 will have a material impact on the financial position or results of
        operations of the Company.

    (k) Use of estimates-

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

    (l) Reclassification of prior year amounts-

        Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
        current year presentations.

(3) Acquisition of Corometrics Medical Systems, Inc. and E for M Corporation

        On May 31, 1994, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of
        Corometrics Medical Systems, Inc.

                                                                              19

 
MARQUETTE ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

APRIL 30, 1996, 1995 AND 1994 (Dollars In Thousands Except Per Share Data)
 
        ("Corometrics"), a manufacturer of fetal monitors and related products.
        The purchase price was approximately $70,800 and was paid in cash.
        Related to this purchase, the Company borrowed $49,200 under a bank loan
        agreement.  As of April 30, 1996, these borrowings have been paid in
        full.  The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase, and the
        excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired
        has been allocated to goodwill.  The value of such goodwill is $23,230.

        Effective January 1, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock
        of E for M Corporation ("E for M"), an international medical equipment,
        software and supplies company serving patient monitoring and cardiology,
        which includes cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology
        laboratories.  The purchase price was approximately $93,400 and was paid
        in cash and through the issuance of stock options. The Company converted
        outstanding options for E for M stock into options for Marquette stock
        as part of the transaction.  The fair value of the converted options was
        $3,083.  Related to this purchase, the Company borrowed $90,000 under
        bank loan agreements payable periodically over the next five years.  The
        acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and the excess of the
        purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired has been
        allocated to goodwill.  Based on a preliminary allocation of purchase
        price, the approximate value of such goodwill is $26,196.  In addition,
        the Company acquired intangible assets related to in-process research
        and development (R&D), product technologies and tradenames with values
        of $35,700, $12,672 and $8,468, respectively.  The acquired in-process
        R&D was entirely written-off during the year.  The remaining intangibles
        have estimated useful lives ranging from 7 to 40 years.

        In connection with the acquisition, the Company implemented a
        restructuring plan for the purpose of integrating the E for M operation
        into the Company's existing operations.  This restructuring plan
        included consolidation of facilities as well as a reduction in the
        number of employees required for the combined operations.  The costs
        expected to be incurred with respect to this restructuring plan were
        recorded as liabilities of E for M which were assumed in the purchase
        transaction.  The total restructuring charges attributable to E for M
        were $8,447.  This total liability recorded at the acquisition included
        $5,532 of severance costs, $992 of dealer termination costs and $1,923
        of facility closing, legal and other costs.  This restructuring plan is
        expected to be completed by April 30, 1997.  As of April 30, 1996,

        $7,662 of the restructuring charges remained in "Other current
        liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
       
        Unaudited pro-forma results of operations, assuming the acquisition of
        both Corometrics and E for M as of May 1, 1994, and the $35,700 write-
        off of acquired in-process R&D in fiscal 1996, would be as follows:

(4) Income Taxes-

        Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on
        future years on differences between the tax basis of assets and
        liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at fiscal year end.
        Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and
        liabilities.

        The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

(5) Notes Payable to Bank-

        The Company has an unsecured line of credit with a bank whereby it may
        borrow up to $20,000.  As of April 30, 1996, the borrowings outstanding
        are $14,500.  Standby letters of credit of $1,604 reduce the available
        credit to $3,896 as of April 30, 1996.

        The Company has loan authorizations and overdraft facilities with
        various banks whereby it may borrow up to $33,244 (or Eurocurrency
        equivalent) to be used for general purposes.  As of April 30, 1996, the
        borrowings outstanding are $14,322.  Outstanding bank guarantees of
        $4,924 reduce the available credit to $13,998 as of April 30, 1996.

        On August 25, 1994, the Company's shareholders approved the Marquette
        Electronics, Inc. Directors' (Non-Employee) Stock Option Plan (the
        "Directors' Plan").  The Directors' Plan is designed to compensate non-
        employee members of the Board of Directors by an annual grant of non-
        qualified options for 4,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at the then
        fair market value of the stock.  These options become exercisable in
        four equal annual installments on each of the first four anniversaries
        of the date of grant and expire on the tenth anniversary date.  The
        aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Directors' Plan
        shall not exceed 250,000.  During fiscal 1994, options to purchase
        16,000 shares were granted at $14.50 per share.  During fiscal 1995,
        options to purchase 20,000 shares were granted at $16.00 per share.
        During fiscal 1996, options to purchase 20,000 shares were granted at
        $16.25 per share.  All options granted were outstanding at April 30,
        1996, 20,000 shares of which were exercisable.

(10) Stock Repurchase Agreements-

        By agreement, the Company is obligated to repurchase up to $4,000 worth
        of Class A Common Stock from each of two shareholders, in each case at
        the shareholder's death and at a price per share determined in
        accordance with the agreements.  Life insurance with a face value of
        $6,744 has been secured on the lives of the two shareholders to fund the
        payments required under the repurchase agreements.  As of April 30,
        1996, 444,444 shares of Class A Common Stock were subject to these stock
        repurchase agreements.  The amount of the purchase price is payable
        within 210 days of the death of the shareholder.

(11) Restructuring of Operations-

        In fiscal 1996, the Company initiated and began to implement a plan to
        restructure its worldwide operations, primarily in Europe. The
        restructuring

                                                                              25

        plan consists of a consolidation of European offices as well as a
        corresponding reduction in the number of employees.  The restructuring
        plan is undertaken for purposes of consolidating the distribution
        function in Europe in order to address competitive conditions.  In
        addition, the restructuring plan is necessary as the existing Marquette
        operations are integrated with E for M's European operations.  In
        connection with these actions, the Company recorded restructuring
        charges of $3,956 to operating expenses in fiscal 1996.  These charges
        include $1,267 of severance costs, $1,366 of facility closing costs
        including asset write-offs, and $1,323 of other costs such as dealer
        termination fees and related legal fees.  This restructuring plan
        implementation is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 1997. 
        As of April 30, 1996, $2,513 of the restructuring charges remained in
        "Other current liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(12) Employee Benefit Plans-

        Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - The Company has a Profit Sharing and
        401(k) Plan (the "Plan") covering substantially all non-union employees.
        The Plan allows participants to make annual contributions ranging from
        1% to 12% of their compensation, subject to certain limitations imposed
        by the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company matches 25% of the
        Participants' contributions, subject to maximum annual matching per
        participant of five hundred dollars or 1.5% of the participants
        qualified compensation, whichever is greater.  The Company may make
        annual discretionary contributions as authorized by the Board of
        Directors.  Total Company contributions were $3,313, $3,300 and $2,449
        in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

        Defined Benefit Plans - E for M has an unfunded noncontributory defined
        pension plan covering substantially all of its German-based employees
        over 25 years of age and with at least 10 years of service. The benefits
        are based on an employee's final month's salary and the number of years
        of continuous service with E for M.

        The components of net periodic pension cost for the four month period
        ended April 30, 1996 are:

        Service costs                     $  377
        Interest costs                     1,127

                                          ======

        The following is a reconciliation of the plan's projected benefit
        obligation to the recorded pension obligation at April 30, 1996:

        Accumulated benefit obligation    $41,099

        The weighted average discount rate and rate of increase in future
        compensation levels used in determining the actuarial present value of
        the projected benefit obligation were 6% and 2.75%, respectively.

        Corometrics established a defined benefit pension plan for certain of
        its union employees effective June 1, 1994.  Pension expense charges to
        operations in fiscal 1996 and 1995 were not material.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Marquette Electronics, Inc. and

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS


FISCAL 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1995

Net sales for 1996 were $416.3 million, an increase of 21.7% from $342.2 million
for 1995. The results include four months of activity from operations related to
E for M Corporation. Marquette Electronics, Inc. purchased the stock of E for M
Corporation, an international medical equipment, software and supplies company
serving patient monitoring and cardiology, which includes cardiac
catheterization and electrophysiology laboratories, effective January 1, 1996.
Sales increased $54.5 million related to the E for M product lines. The
remaining increase for the year of $19.6 million, or 5.7%, related to the
Company's historic product lines. An improving healthcare market contributed to
an increase in net sales of $8.6 million, or 7.6% for the patient monitoring
product line. The service, supplies and Corometrics product lines combined to
record a sales increase over 1995 of $11.7 million, or 8.7%. Prior year results
include eleven months activity from operations related to Corometrics Medical
Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of fetal monitors and clinical information systems
acquired on May 31, 1994. The cardiology product line (formerly known as the
diagnostics line) maintained a relatively level amount of net sales for 1996 as
compared to 1995 with a 0.7% decrease.

Gross profit was $201.3 million for 1996, an increase of $26.3 million as
compared to 1995. Gross margin was 48.4% for the year as compared to 51.1% for
1995. The decrease is primarily attributable to a lower gross margin realized on
the E for M product lines. The gross margin on the four months of E for M
activity from operations included in 1996 was 38.1%. Lower than expected
shipment levels for the E for M operations, attributable in part to the
integration of various operations into Marquette, resulted in an inability to
fully absorb fixed costs. All product lines experienced decreases in gross
margins mainly attributable to increased pricing pressures, especially in
Europe. In addition, the imaging line at Corometrics was liquidated at a
significant discount resulting in a margin decline in that line.

Engineering expenses increased $6.6 million, or 21.5%, for the year. Most of
this increase is related to the acquisition of E for M Corporation which had
$4.9 million of engineering expense in the four months since the acquisition.
The remaining increase is a result of additional new product development,
particularly in operating room and emergency care products. Management believes
that the market for its products is rapidly changing due to technological
advances. Therefore, the Company will continue to invest significantly in both
new
                                                                              
                                                                              29

product development and enhancements to current products in order to remain
competitive in the healthcare market.

During 1996, the Company took a charge related to the write-off of purchased in-
process research and development (R&D) in the amount of $35.7 million. This one-
time charge is attributable to the in-process R&D acquired from E for M in the
stock purchase. The purchase price of E for M was allocated to the fair value of
net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The portion of the purchase price
allocated to the in-process R&D costs of E for M was immediately written-off
resulting in this non-recurring charge.

Selling expenses increased $20.2 million, or 23.7%, for 1996 over last year
primarily related to the E for M acquisition. Of the total increase, $13.1
million related to the operations of E for M during 1996. In addition to the
increased expenses related to E for M, the increase is also related to the
incremental month of Corometrics expenses in the current year as compared to
last year. The remaining increase is primarily related to an increased sales
staff for all product lines. For the year, the selling expenses have remained
relatively constant as a percentage of sales as compared to last year. For 1996,
selling expenses were 25.3% of sales versus 24.9% of sales for 1995.

General and administrative expenses increased $7.5 million, or 29.6% for 1996 as
compared to 1995. General and administrative expenses increased $6.0 million for
1996 related to the operations of E for M Corporation. The remaining operations
of the Company had an increase of $1.5 million for 1996 as compared to 1995. In
addition to the increase related to E for M, an incremental month of Corometrics
expenses in the current year accounts for the remaining difference.

Interest expense for 1996 was $4.4 million as compared to $3.0 million for 1995.
This entire increase is attributable to the additional debt incurred for the
acquisition of E for M. The increased interest expense related to this
acquisition debt was offset to some extent by the decreased debt originally
incurred in connection with the Corometrics acquisition in May, 1994. Cash flow
from operations enabled the Company to retire the remaining debt related to the
Corometrics acquisition during 1996.

The Company incurred a restructuring charge of $4.0 million for 1996 mainly
related to its European operations. The restructuring was undertaken for
purposes of consolidating the distribution function in Europe as well as
integrating the E for M operations with Marquette. It is management's belief
that the Company

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

will be able to recover the restructuring costs in 1997 through decreased
operating expenses. Other income increased to $1.2 million for 1996 related to
increased foreign exchange gains of $0.6 million. In addition, losses related to
equity investments were $0.7 million less in 1996 as compared to 1995.

The provision for income taxes for 1996 was $7.9 million. Even though the
Company incurred a before-tax loss of $17.0 million for the year, the $35.7
million charge related to purchased in-process R&D is a permanent tax difference
for which the Company does not receive any tax benefit, either current or
deferred. Excluding this charge, the provision for taxes for the year was 42.1%
as compared to 37.0% for 1995. The increase in the provision is partly due to
the expiration of the research and development credit (1.9% benefit in 1995).
This credit has typically been extended by Congress, retroactively, for other
years it was to have expired. If this credit is reinstated retroactively, as it
has been in the past, when Congress finalizes a budget agreement, the Company
will have a tax credit of $0.7 million. The additional increase in the tax rate
is related to foreign net operating losses which the Company is unable to
utilize currently. It is the intention of management that the European
restructuring actions as well as the synergies gained from the integration of E
for M's foreign operations into Marquette, will put the Company in a position to
begin to generate benefit from these losses over the course of the next few
years.

FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994

Net sales for 1995 of $342.2 million were $88.4 million, or 34.8% higher than
net sales for 1994. The increase in net sales for 1995 was primarily related to
the acquisition of Corometrics Medical Systems, Inc. which added $77.1 million
to net sales for 1995. The Diagnostic and Monitoring product lines increased
sales $5.3 million and $5.2 million, or 6.5% and 4.8%, respectively.

Gross profit increased $43.4 million, or 33.0% in 1995 as compared with 1994
related to increased sales. The gross profit margin was 51.1% in 1995 as
compared with 51.9% in 1994. Productivity gains in manufacturing were offset
somewhat by lower gross margins due to pricing pressure in the United States. In
addition, including Corometrics in the product mix caused a decline in
consolidated gross margins.

Engineering expenses increased $8.3 million, or 37.0% in 1995 as compared with
1994. Approximately $6.3 million of the increase relates to engineering expenses
incurred by Corometrics and new product development. The increase in engineering
cost is also related

                                                                              31


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
to the completion of the quadrupole project which was partially funded by NASA
on a cost-plus basis and the reassignment of those engineers to other internal
projects.

Selling expenses increased $22.7 million, or 36.3% in 1995 as compared with 1994
primarily as a result of selling expense incurred by Corometrics and the
addition of sales representatives to sell the Corometrics line direct in Europe.

General and administrative expenses increased $6.5 million, or 34.7% in 1995 as
compared with 1994. The majority of the increase is attributable to the
Corometrics acquisition, including $1.4 million in goodwill amortization.

Interest expense increased $2.7 million in 1995 as compared with 1994 due to the
additional debt incurred for the acquisition of Corometrics Medical Systems,
Inc. Significant cash flow from operations in 1995 and the liquidation of cash
equivalents enabled the Company to prepay approximately $30 million in
obligations related to the acquisition.

Other income decreased $0.4 million, or 80.8% in 1995 as compared with 1994 due
to a decrease in interest income as cash on hand in 1994 was used in the
Corometrics acquisition on June 1, 1994. This increased expense was offset to
some extent by foreign exchange losses in 1994 which did not recur in 1995.

The effective income tax rate increased to 37.0% in 1995 as compared with 33.9%
in 1994. The increase in the effective rate is attributable to an increase in
the effective state tax rate and decreased benefits associated with the
Company's Foreign Sales Corporation.


FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

In as much as the Company's principal product lines are all related to the
health care industry, they are subject to the current uncertainty surrounding
the industry including consolidation of hospital groups and a move towards
managed care. While the Company cannot predict the impact, if any, that such
modifications might have on its business, the Company's operating results are
closely linked to the healthcare economy. If revenue or earnings fail to meet
expectations of the investment community, there could be a significant impact on
the trading price for the Company's stock. Management believes the introduction
of new products will put the Company in a competitive position as the healthcare
economy's demand for new equipment increases. However, the Company's results of
operation in the future will be affected by conditions both in the healthcare
industry as well as conditions in the general economy, such as interest and
foreign currency

exchange rate fluctuations, changes in trade policy, and
recessionary periods.

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of
E for M Corporation.  This acquisition resulted in significant restructuring
charges before the end of the fiscal year as the combined companies are
reorganized.  In addition to restructuring charges, the Company experienced
recurring additional charges with respect to interest expense, intangible
amortization and goodwill amortization.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of April 30, 1996, the Company had $14.5 million outstanding on lines of
credit of $20.0 million available for U.S. borrowings. In addition, the Company
had $14.3 million, U.S. dollar equivalent, in foreign currency loans outstanding
on lines of credit of $33.2 million for foreign currency borrowings. The foreign
currency loans were placed as a natural hedge against foreign currency
receivables. 

Working capital was $133.2 million at April 30, 1996 compared to $100.4 million
at April 30, 1995. Total inventories and receivables increased $31.0 and $47.3
million, respectively, primarily due to the E for M acquisition. In addition,
the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities is primarily
attributable to the acquisition of E for M.

Capital expenditures during the year ended April 30, 1996 were $11.4 million,
primarily related to replacement and addition of machinery and equipment needed
for future business requirements. The capital purchases were funded with cash
from operations. 

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of E
for M Corporation. E for M Corporation is an international medical equipment,
software and supplies company serving patient monitoring and cardiology, which
includes cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology laboratories. The cash
acquisition price of $90.3 million was funded by three term loans in the amounts
of $30.0 million each.

Each term note is payable in eight equal installments of $3.75 million each
beginning on April 30, 1997 and each October 31 and April 30, thereafter through
October 31, 2000. As of April 30, 1996, the Company had paid $9.0 million of the
debt, $3.0 million on each of the loans, through cash flow from operations. Each
note bears interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus one percent, reset
monthly. At April 30, 1996 the rate was 6.4375% per annum. The Company intends
to pay the interest and retire the debt through the cash flow from operations.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and the excess of the
purchase price
                                                                              33


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

over the fair value of net assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill. The
approximate value of such goodwill is $26.2 million. The Company expects to
amortize the goodwill over a life of 20 years. In addition, the Company acquired
intangible assets related to product technologies and tradenames with a value of
$12.7 million and $8.5 million, respectively. These intangibles will be
amortized over 7 years and 40 years, respectively.

On May 31, 1994, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of Corometrics
Medical Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of fetal monitors and related products.
The acquisition price of $70.8 million was funded in part by two term loans in
the amount of $20.0 million and $25.0 million, a draw on the Company's line of
credit of $4.2 million and liquidation of investments in the amount of $21.6
million. Both term notes have been retired through cash flow from operations.

Management believes the Company has financial resources sufficient to meet its
short term and long term cash requirements. The current U.S. inflation rate has
little impact on company operations.

In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This statement will apply to fiscal
1997 and the Company will elect to disclose the required information in the
footnotes to the consolidated financial statements. In addition, FASB issued
SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of", in 1995. The Company does not believe that the
adoption of this statement on May 1, 1996 will have a material impact on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.
