September 13, 1995 - Part III.










PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

(a) General Development of Business.

The Perkin-Elmer Corporation was incorporated in 1939
under the laws of the State of New York. Together with its
consolidated subsidiaries, The Perkin-Elmer Corporation
(hereinafter collectively referred to as "Registrant" or the
"Corporation") develops, manufactures, and sells products in
the industry segment described in sub-item (c) below.

On February 18, 1993, the shareholders of Registrant and
Applied Biosystems, Inc. ("ABI"), a supplier of automated
systems for life science research and related applications,
approved the merger of a subsidiary of Registrant with and
into ABI which resulted in ABI becoming a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Registrant. Effective July 1, 1994, ABI was
merged into Registrant and is now the Applied Biosystems
division of Registrant.

On April 18, 1994, Registrant entered into an agreement
with Sulzer Inc. to sell its Material Sciences segment
consisting of its Metco Division ("Metco") headquartered in
Westbury, New York. Registrant completed the sale on
September 30, 1994.

The consolidated financial statements and schedules
reflect the merger with ABI as a pooling of interests and
present the Corporation's Material Sciences segment as a
discontinued operation.

On May 18, 1993, Registrant amended its By-laws to change
Registrant's fiscal year end from July 31 to June 30. Prior
to fiscal year 1993, the financial statements of ABI and
Registrant's subsidiaries outside the United States were for
the years ended June 30, while Registrant's domestic
operations were reported on a July 31 fiscal year end.

(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments.

Registrant is engaged in one business segment, which is
generally described as analytical instruments and includes
life science systems. Accordingly, separate segment financial
information is not provided.

-1-




(c) Narrative Description of Business.

BUSINESS

Registrant develops, manufactures, markets, sells, and
services analytical instrument systems. Included in this
industry segment are biochemical analytical instrument
systems, consisting of instruments and associated consumable
products, for life science research and related applications.
These automated systems are used for synthesis, amplification,
purification, isolation, analysis and sequencing of nucleic
acids, proteins, and other biological molecules.

This industry segment also includes analytical instrument
systems for determining the composition and molecular
structure of chemical substances (both organic and inorganic)
and measuring the concentration of materials in a sample.
These instruments include: spectrophotometers utilizing a
number of analytical techniques; gas and liquid
chromatographs; thermal analyzers; thermal cyclers; analytical
balances; flame photometers; polarimeters; data-handling
devices that are principally designed for use with analytical
instruments; and data systems for applications in analytical
chemistry. In a joint venture, Perkin-Elmer Sciex
Instruments, Registrant is engaged in the manufacture and sale
of mass spectrometry instrument systems. Registrant also
develops, manufactures, markets, and services on-line, real
time, process analysis systems to monitor process quality and
environmental purity.

Registrant's instruments are used by private industry,
educational and research institutions, and governmental
entities for fundamental research, applied industrial
research, quality control, medical research, hospital clinical
testing, pollution analysis, drug identification, and
forensics.

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION

In the United States, Registrant markets the largest
portion of its products directly through its own sales and
distribution organization, although certain analytical
instruments are marketed through independent distributors and
sales representatives. Sales to major markets outside of the
United States are generally made by the Registrant's foreign
based sales and service staff, although some sales are made
directly from the United States to foreign customers. In
certain foreign countries, sales are made through various
representative and distributorship arrangements. Registrant
owns or leases sales and service offices in strategic regional
locations in the United States, and in foreign countries
through its foreign sales subsidiaries and distribution
operations. None of Registrant's products is distributed
through retail outlets.

RAW MATERIALS

There are no specialized raw materials that are
particularly essential to the operation of Registrant's
business. Registrant's manufacturing operations require a
wide variety of raw materials, electronic and mechanical
components, chemical and biochemical materials, and other
supplies, some of which are occasionally found to be in short
supply. Registrant has multiple commercial sources for most
components and supplies but is dependent on single sources for
a limited number of such items, in which case Registrant
normally secures long-term supply contracts.

-2-




PATENTS, LICENSES, AND FRANCHISES
Registrant has pursued a policy of seeking patent
protection in the United States and other countries for
developments, improvements, and inventions originating
within its organization which are incorporated in
Registrant's products or which fall within its fields of
interest. Certain licenses under patents have been granted
to, and received from, other entities. Registrant has
certain rights from Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. under patents
relating to polymerase chain reaction technology ("PCR"),
which patents expire in 2004. Registrant also has rights
under a patent issued to the California Institute of
Technology relating to DNA sequencing, which patent expires
in 2009. In Registrant's opinion, however, no other single
patent or license, or group of patents or licenses, or any
franchise, is material to its business as a whole.

From time to time, Registrant has asserted that various
competitors and others are infringing Registrant's patents and
similarly, from time to time, others have asserted that
Registrant was infringing patents owned by them. Generally,
such claims are settled by mutual agreement on a satisfactory
basis and result in the granting of licenses by Registrant or
the granting of licenses to Registrant.

SEASONAL FLUCTUATIONS

Registrant's business is not subject to pronounced
seasonal fluctuations.

BACKLOG

Registrant's recorded backlog was $167.0 million at June
30, 1995 and $154.5 million at June 30, 1994. It is
Registrant's general policy to include in backlog only
purchase orders or production releases which have firm
delivery dates within one year. Recorded backlog may not
result in sales because of cancellation or other factors. It
is anticipated that all orders included in the current backlog
will be delivered before the close of fiscal year 1996.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT SALES

No material portion of Registrant's business is subject
to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts or
subcontracts at the election of the United States Government.

COMPETITION

The industry segment in which Registrant operates is
highly competitive and is characterized by the application of
advanced technology. There are numerous companies which
specialize in, and a number of larger companies which devote a
significant portion of their resources to, the development,
manufacture, and sale of products which compete with those
manufactured or sold by Registrant. Many of Registrant's
competitors are well-known manufacturers with a high degree of
technical proficiency. In addition, competition is
intensified by the ever-changing nature of the technologies in
the industry in which Registrant is engaged. The markets for
Registrant's products are characterized by specialized
manufacturers that often have strength in narrow segments of
these markets. While the absence of reliable statistics makes
it difficult to determine Registrant's relative market
position, Registrant is confident it is one of the principal
manufacturers in its field, marketing a broad line of
analytical instruments and life science systems. In addition
to competing in terms of the technology that Registrant
offers, Registrant competes in terms of price, service, and
quality.
-3-





RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND ENGINEERING

Registrant is actively engaged in basic and applied
research, development, and engineering programs designed to
develop new products and to improve existing products. During
fiscal years 1995, 1994, and 1993, Registrant spent $95.1
million, $94.2 million, and $83.8 million, respectively, on
company sponsored research, development, and engineering
activities.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Registrant is subject to federal, state, and local laws
and regulations regulating the discharge of materials into the
environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the
environment, in those jurisdictions where Registrant operates
or maintains facilities. Registrant does not believe that
compliance with all environmental provisions will have a
material effect on its business, and no material capital
expenditures are expected for environmental control.

EMPLOYEES

As of June 30, 1995, Registrant employed 5,890 persons
worldwide. None of Registrant's United States employees is
subject to collective bargaining agreements.

(d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic
Operations and Export Sales.

A summary of net revenues to unaffiliated customers,
operating income, and identifiable assets attributable to each
of Registrant's geographic areas and export sales for the
fiscal years 1995, 1994, and 1993 is incorporated herein by
reference to Note 6 on Pages 38-39 of the Annual Report to
Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995.

Registrant's consolidated net revenues to unaffiliated
customers in countries other than the United States for the
fiscal years 1995, 1994, and 1993 were $669.8 million, $606.7
million, and $606.8 million, or 63.0%, 59.2%, and 60.0%,
respectively, of Registrant's consolidated net revenues.

All of the Registrant's manufacturing facilities outside
of the continental United States are located in Germany, the
United Kingdom, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Japan, and
the Peoples Republic of China. The manufacturing facility in
Puerto Rico is expected to be closed by December 31, 1995.
There are currently no material foreign exchange controls or
similar limitations restricting the repatriation to the United
States of capital or earnings from operations outside the
United States.


(e) Discontinued Operations.

On September 30, 1994, Registrant sold Metco, comprising
its Material Sciences segment, headquartered in Westbury, New
York to Sulzer Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sulzer,
Ltd., Winterthur, Switzerland. The consolidated financial
statements and schedules present Registrant's Material
Sciences segment as a discontinued operation.


Item 2. PROPERTIES

Listed below are the principal facilities of Registrant
as of June 30, 1995. Registrant considers all facilities
listed below to be reasonably appropriate for the purpose(s)


-4-




for which they are used, including manufacturing, research and

maintained in good working order and, except for those held
for sale or lease, are substantially utilized on the basis of
at least one shift. None of the leased facilities is leased
from an affiliate of Registrant.

leases space in certain industrial centers for use as regional
sales and service offices, technical demonstration centers,
and warehousing. Registrant also owns undeveloped land in
Redding, Connecticut, Vacaville, California, and
Ueberlingen, Germany.

In addition to the properties used by Registrant in its
operations, Registrant owns three facilities in Wilton,
Connecticut (aggregating approximately 248,000 square feet)
which are currently leased to SVG Lithography Systems, Inc.
for a term expiring in 2010, a facility in Garden Grove,
California (approximately 82,000 square feet) which is
currently leased to OCA Applied Optics, Inc. for a term
expiring in 2002, and a facility in Pomona, California
(approximately 135,000 square feet) which is currently leased
to Orbital Sciences Corporation for a term expiring in 2003.
Registrant also owns a facility in Ridgefield, Connecticut
(approximately 201,000 square feet), two facilities in Wilton,
Connecticut (approximately 51,000 square feet and 42,000
square feet), and a facility in San Jose, California
(approximately 67,000 square feet) which are held for sale or
lease. One of the facilities in Wilton is leased on a long-
term basis, and the facility in San Jose and a portion of the
remaining facility in Wilton are leased on a short-term basis.


Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Corporation has been named as a defendant in various
legal actions arising from the conduct of its normal business
activities. Although the amount of any liability that might
arise with respect to any of these matters cannot be
accurately predicted, the resulting liability, if any, will
not, in the opinion of management of Registrant, have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
statements of Registrant.

-5-




Registrant is one of approximately 125 third party
defendants named in a third party complaint dated February 19,
1993 in United States of America v. Davis et al., which is
pending in the United States District Court for the District
of Rhode Island. The third party plaintiffs, who were named
as defendants and potentially responsible parties in the
Government's initial complaint, sought equitable contribution
and indemnification in the event they were found liable for
remediation costs relating to the removal of hazardous
substances from a site located in Smithfield, Rhode Island
(such costs initially were estimated by the Government to be
$27.8 million, but most recent estimates of such costs appear
to be in the $40 million range). All but one of the third
party plaintiffs settled with the Government for a total of
approximately $6 million, and a trial on the question of the
remaining third party plaintiff's liability to the Government
resulted in an April 22, 1995 Memorandum and Order in which
the Court found such plaintiff, United Technologies
Corporation, liable as a "generator" of hazardous wastes
deposited at the site. A trial on the amount of such
liability currently is scheduled for October 1995. Until the
amount of liability of all of the third party plaintiffs
(including United Technologies) has been established by
litigation or settlement of that issue, the Court will not
consider the validity of any third party claims. While the
Registrant contends that it should have no liability in this
case, because of the uncertainty of all litigation it cannot
definitively state that it will incur less than $100,000 in
monetary liability.


Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF
SECURITY HOLDERS

No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders,
through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the
