==== ==== ==== ====
Communications segment sales and earnings were up strongly over the prior year
periods, led by strong demand for the segment's microwave and broadcast
products. Net income benefited from lower tax rates resulting from tax benefits
of foreign operations.
Sales and operating profit were up slightly in the Lanier Worldwide segment,
while net income was up 14 percent for the quarter and 15 percent year-to-date.
Lower interest expense, favorable foreign exchange rates and lower income taxes
contributed to the strong increase in net income.
Electronic Systems segment sales were up slightly in the second quarter and
moderately for the year, while operating profit was relatively unchanged. Net
income was up sharply for the quarter as the segment recognized tax benefits
associated with the sale of a building. The first two quarters include
write-offs on certain programs that have been substantially offset by the gain
on the sale of a building.
Sales were moderately lower for the Semiconductor segment for both the quarter
and the year due to an industry-wide downturn. Earnings were somewhat lower for
the quarter and slightly higher for the year as the impact of lower sales has
been offset by higher royalty income and improved margins in military and space
products and intelligent power circuits.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 67.1 percent in the
second quarter and 66.7 percent in the first two quarters of this year compared
to 67.2 percent and 67.0 percent for the respective periods last year. For the
year, cost ratios were lower in the Semiconductor segment due to increased
royalties and in the Lanier segment due to favorable exchange rates.

Engineering, selling, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
increased to 25.3 percent in the second quarter and 25.7 percent for the year
compared to 24.3 percent and 25.1 percent for the comparable prior year periods.
Operating expenses were somewhat higher in all expense categories, including
research and development, which is $12 million higher for the current year.
Interest expense is only slightly higher for the quarter and the year despite
higher average borrowings as additional interest on borrowings has been
capitalized as a component of plant and equipment under construction.
"Other-net" expenses were significantly lower for the quarter and the year due
to a gain on the sale of a building and foreign currency gains.
The provision for income taxes as a percentage of pretax income was 34.5 percent
in both the second quarter and the first two quarters compared to 35.0 percent
for the same periods a year ago. The statutory federal tax rate for all periods
was 35.0 percent. Tax rates on foreign source income and export sales benefited
the current year periods.
Net income as a percentage of sales was 4.8 percent and 4.6 percent for the
second quarter and year-to-date, compared to 4.4 percent and 4.3 percent in the
same periods last year for the previously stated reasons.
Working capital increased from 757.8 at June 30, 1996, to 810.8 at the end of
the second quarter. The Corporation continues to invest heavily in the capital
expansion of its Semiconductor business. Total capital expenditures for the
Corporation in fiscal 1997 are expected to be between $300-$400 million. The
requirement for funds to finance this investment and other operational
requirements during fiscal 1997 will be met by cash flow from operations and
unused borrowing capacity. In January 1997, the Corporation's long-term debt
rating was raised by Standard and Poor's Ratings Group to A- from BBB+ and was
reaffirmed by Moody's Investors Service as A3.
From time to time, the Corporation invests in emerging technology companies that
complement existing product lines. These investments are normally accounted for
on a cost basis. One such investment, Advanced Fibre Communications, Inc., (AFC)
undertook an initial public offering of its common stock on October 1, 1996.
Based upon the quoted market price of AFC on December 31, 1996, the unrealized
gain on this investment was $57.3 million after tax. On January 24, 1997, AFC
filed a registration statement with the SEC relating to a proposed secondary
public offering. The Corporation has indicated that it intends to sell up to
300,000 AFC shares pursuant to this offering. Based upon certain agreements
entered into with the underwriters, the Corporation will not sell any of its
other AFC shares for the ninety-day period following the closing of the proposed
secondary public offering. At the present time the Corporation has no definitive
plans to sell other AFC shares when the restrictions expire.
