NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 1996

Note A -- Basis of Presentation
- - -------------------------------

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01
of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all information and
footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results
of operations, and changes in cash flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  For further information refer to the financial
statements and notes to financial statements included in the Corporation's Form
10K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995.


Note B -- Litigation
- - --------------------

In 1993, a California state court awarded damages against the Corporation in
the amount of $66.9 million, together with interest and costs of suit, to a
California software company. The suit arose from a contract between the
plaintiff and a discontinued operation of the Corporation.  The Corporation
believes the judgment is unjustified and has filed an appeal with the
California Court of Appeals.  The appeals court is expected to render its
decision by February 1997.  The ultimate outcome of this litigation is unknown.
Accordingly, no provisions, beyond those already provided as part of prior
discontinued operation charges, have been made in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.  Prior discontinued operations charges included legal
costs the Corporation expects to incur in defending itself in this matter.


Note C -- Long-Term Debt
- - ------------------------

On January 16, 1996, the Corporation issued $100 million 7% debentures, due
January 15, 2026.  Proceeds from the issuance were used for general corporate
purposes, including the refinancing of a portion of long-term debt.

Third quarter and year-to-date sales and earnings at the Electronic Systems
segment were adversely affected by lower sales and losses in the energy
management systems business and continued competitive pressure in parts of the
defense-related businesses.  Year-to-date earnings were also impacted by a
write-off on a development program.

Semiconductor segment sales and earnings for the third quarter and the year
have benefited from strong performance of power control products and military
and space products.  The segment reported continuing improvement in operating
margins and increased patent royalty income.

Third quarter and year-to-date increases in Communications segment sales and
earnings were led by the segment's telecommunications and wireless businesses,
particularly microwave systems, broadcast products, and the telephone test
equipment business.

Strong sales in the domestic office products business resulted in increased
sales and earnings at the Lanier Worldwide segment for the third quarter and
year-to-date.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 66.0 percent in the
third quarter and 66.6 percent year-to-date compared to 68.0 percent and 68.6
percent for the respective periods last year.   The decreases were due to
higher gross margins in the Semiconductor and Communications segments.

Engineering, selling, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
increased to 26.2 percent in the third quarter and 25.4 percent year-to-date
compared to 23.7 and 24.0 for the same periods last year.  Increases within the
Semiconductor and Communications segments in research and development and
marketing expenditures contributed to the higher operating expense ratios.
   7
A slight increase in interest rates and higher levels of borrowing resulted in
increased interest expense for the quarter and year-to-date.  "Other-net"
expense for the third quarter decreased due to foreign currency gains and
increased gains on the sale of investment securities.

The provision for income taxes as a percentage of pretax income was 35.0
percent in the third quarter and year-to-date for both years.  The statutory
federal tax rates for both periods was 35.0 percent.

Income as a percentage of sales was 5.0 percent and 4.5 percent for the third
quarter and year-to-date, compared to 4.5 percent and 4.0 percent in the same
periods last year for the previously stated reasons.

Working capital increased slightly from $755.4 million at June 30, 1995 to
$756.2  million at the end of the third quarter.  The Corporation anticipates
that the requirement for funds to finance operations during the remainder of
fiscal 1996 will be met by cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity.
The Corporation also anticipates refinancing a portion of its short-term debt
with long-term borrowings prior to June 30, 1996.
