PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Hewlett-Packard Company was incorporated in 1947 under the laws of the
State of California as the successor to a partnership founded in 1939 by William
R. Hewlett and David Packard.

Hewlett-Packard Company, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the
"Company"), is engaged worldwide in the design, manufacture and service of
electronic equipment and systems for measurement, computation and
communications. The Company offers a wide variety of systems and standalone
products, including computer systems and peripheral products, electronic test
equipment and systems, medical electronic equipment, calculators and other
personal information products, solid state components and instrumentation for
chemical analysis. These products are used in industry, business, engineering,
science, education and medicine. A summary of the Company's net revenue as
contributed by its major classes of products and services is found on page 44 of
the Company's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders, which page (excluding order
data) is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company's computers, computer systems, personal information products,
personal peripheral products and other peripherals are used in a variety of
applications, including scientific and engineering computation and analysis,
instrument control and business information management. The Company's core
computing products and technologies include its PA-RISC architecture for systems
and workstations and software infrastructure for open systems. The Company's
general-purpose computers and computer systems include scalable families of
systems and servers for use in small workgroups, larger departments and entire
data centers. Key products include the HP 9000 series, which runs HP-UX, HP's
implementation of the UNIX(R)(1) operating system, and comprises both
workstations with powerful computational and graphics capabilities and multiuser
computers for both technical and commercial applications; and the HP Vectra
series of IBM-compatible PCs (personal computers) for use in business,
engineering, manufacturing and chemical analysis. The Company offers software
programming services, network services, distributed system services and data
management services. Customers of the Company's computers, computer systems and
software infrastructure products include original equipment manufacturers,
dealers, value-added resellers and retailers, as well as end users for a variety
of applications.

In the field of computing during fiscal 1994, the Company expanded its
Corporate Business Systems product line, a family of multiuser systems and
servers that spans products in both the HP 9000 and the HP 3000 series. The HP
9000 Model T500 Corporate Business Server runs the HP-UX operating system, while
the new HP 3000 Corporate Business Systems run the POSIX-compliant MPE/iX
operating system. Also introduced this year were the HP 9000 E-class business
servers, which extend the HP 9000 family of PA-RISC-based workstations and
servers. Other introductions included models 712/60 and 712/80i of the Series
700 family of workstations, which are the first implementations of the Company's
PA-7100LC microprocessor, also introduced this year; the HP ENTRIA family of X
terminals; the HP Vectra VL2 series of PCs and the HP Vectra 486/25VL Model
170MM PC, the Company's first multimedia PC; and a series of HP Vectra PC
servers.

Software introductions included HP OpenView Version 3.3, which includes
more than 30 enhancements to the Company's network- and systems-management
platform; the COBOL SoftBench and COBOL/C SoftBench software-development
environments, which are based on HP SoftBench, the open, integrated CASE
(computer-aided-software-engineering) environment that is a de facto standard;
and HP Odapter, software that allows Oracle7 relational databases to store
objects created by object-oriented applications.

The Company's peripheral products include a variety of system and desktop
printers, such as the HP LaserJet family; the HP DeskJet family, which is based
on the Company's thermal inkjet technology; a family of graphic plotters and
page scanners; video display terminals; disk (magnetic and optical) and tape
drives and related autochangers. In fiscal 1994 the Company introduced the HP
LaserJet 4 Plus and 4M Plus printers, 12-page-per-minute printers that replaced
the LaserJet 4 and 4M printers and are 30 to 40 percent faster than their
predecessors; the HP LaserJet 4V, HP's fastest desktop laser printer; the HP
Color LaserJet printer, which gives corporate computer users the print quality,
speed and ease of use of a LaserJet at an affordable price; the HP DeskJet 560C
and DeskWriter 560C for Macintosh computers, which use an HP-developed
technology called ColorSmart for easier and more vivid full-color printing; the
HP DeskJet 540 and HP DeskWriter 540 printers, the lowest-priced DeskJet
printers that are targeted at the rapidly growing home market; the DeskJet 320
printer for notebook PCs and the DeskWriter 320 printer for Macintosh
PowerBooks; the HP ScanJet IIcx scanner, which brought desktop scanning to a
wide range of business communicators; and the HP OfficeJet printer-fax-copier,
the first product from HP to perform all three functions.

The Company also produces measurement systems for use in electronics,
medicine and analytical chemistry. Test and measurement instruments include
voltmeters and multimeters that measure voltage, current and resistance;
counters that measure the frequency of an electrical signal; oscilloscopes and
logic analyzers that measure electrical changes in relation to time; signal
generators that provide the electrical stimulus for the testing of systems and
components; specialized communications and semiconductor test equipment; and
atomic frequency standards, which are used in accurate time-interval and
timekeeping applications. Instruments for medical applications include
continuous monitoring systems for critical-care patients, medical
data-management systems, fetal monitors, electrocardiographs, cardiac
catheterization laboratory systems, blood gas measuring instruments, diagnostic
ultrasonic imaging systems and cardiac defibrillators. Instruments for
analytical applications include gas and liquid chromatographs, mass
spectrometers, laboratory data systems and spectrophotometers. Key product
introductions for measurement systems in fiscal 1994 included the first test set
to measure waveform quality for CDMA, a new U.S. standard for digital-cellular
communications; the HP AcceSS7 Monitoring System, an open-systems platform that
monitors Signaling System #7 networks, which are the distributed computers and
databases that control call routing in telecommunications; the HP CareVue
Clinical Event Review, a workstation-based system that enables clinicians to
specify and retrieve patient data more quickly than before; and a liquid
chromatograph/mass spectrometer that helps bioscientists analyze biomolecules.

The Company continues to demonstrate its ability to combine measurement and
computation. The Company's Unified Laboratory strategy is designed to improve a
user's productivity by allowing computers in the analytical laboratory to serve
as adjuncts to analytical instrumentation while broadening the user's ability to
communicate with other parts of the organization. The Office of the Chemist is a
subset of the Unified Laboratory in which an office-based workstation or PC,
with business software such as spreadsheets, is combined with analytical
equipment and data to allow a chemist to work more efficiently. The Company's
Clinical Information System combines patient data from monitoring instruments
with other information to assist nurses in providing health care.

The Company also manufactures electronic component products consisting
principally of microwave semiconductor, fiber-optic and optoelectronic devices,
including LEDs (light-emitting diodes). The products primarily are sold to other
manufacturers for incorporation into their electronic products but also are used
in many of the Company's products. In fiscal 1994, the Company introduced
transistors, integrated circuits and surface-mount diodes for radio-frequency
communications, a transmitter/receiver for infrared communications, and
red-orange LEDs that are the world's brightest.

The Company provides service for its equipment, systems and peripherals,
including support and maintenance services, parts and supplies for design and
manufacturing systems, office and information systems, general-purpose
instruments, computers and computer systems, peripherals and network products.
During fiscal 1994, the Company derived 23 percent of its net revenue from such
services.

The Company strives, in all its businesses, to promote industry standards
that recognize customer preferences for open systems in which different vendors'
products can work together. The Company often

2

bases its product innovations on such standards and seeks to make its technology
innovations into industry standards through licensing to other companies and
standards-setting groups. For example, during fiscal 1994 the Company's Demand
Priority protocol specification for 100VG-AnyLAN, a technology for high-speed
local area networks, was accepted by a working group of the IEEE, a key
standard-setting body.

MARKETING

Customers. The Company has approximately 600 sales and support offices and
distributorships in more than 120 countries. Sales are made to industrial and
commercial customers, educational and scientific institutions, healthcare
providers (including individual doctors, hospitals, clinics and research
laboratories) and, in the case of its calculators and other personal information
products, computer peripherals and PCs, to individuals for personal use.

Sales Organization. More than half of the Company's orders are derived
through value-added resale channels, including dealers and original equipment
manufacturers. The remaining product orders result from the efforts of its own
sales organization selling to end users. In fiscal 1994 a higher portion of the
Company's net revenue than in fiscal 1993 was generated from products such as
personal peripherals, which are primarily sold through dealers and other
value-added resellers. Sales operations are supported by approximately 34,000
individuals, including field service engineers, sales representatives, service
personnel and administrative support staff.

International. The Company's total orders originating outside of the
United States as a percentage of total Company orders were approximately 54
percent in fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1993, and 55 percent in fiscal 1992. The
majority of these international orders were from customers other than foreign
governments. Approximately two-thirds of the Company's international orders in
each of the last three fiscal years were derived from Europe, with most of the
balance coming from Japan, other countries in Asia Pacific, Latin America and
Canada.

Most of the Company's sales in international markets are made by foreign
sales subsidiaries. In countries with low sales volume, sales are made through
various representative and distributorship arrangements. Certain sales in
international markets, however, are made directly by the parent Company from the
United States.

The Company's international business is subject to risks customarily
encountered in foreign operations, including fluctuations in monetary exchange
rates, import and export controls and the economic, political and regulatory
policies of foreign governments. The Company believes that its international
diversification provides stability to its worldwide operations and reduces the
impact on the Company of adverse economic changes in any single country. A
summary of the Company's net revenue, earnings from operations and identifiable
assets by geographic area is found on page 42 of the Company's 1994 Annual
Report to Shareholders, which page is incorporated herein by reference.

COMPETITION

The Company encounters aggressive competition in all areas of its business
activity. Its competitors are numerous, ranging from some of the world's largest
corporations to many relatively small and highly specialized firms. The Company
competes primarily on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality,
reliability, distribution and customer service and support. The Company's
reputation, the ease of use of its products and the ready availability of
customer training are also important competitive factors.

The computer market is characterized by vigorous competition among major
corporations with long-established positions and a large number of new and
rapidly growing firms. While the absence of reliable statistics makes it
difficult to state the Company's relative position, the Company believes that it
is the second-largest U.S.-based manufacturer of general-purpose computers,
personal peripherals such as desktop printers, and calculators and other
personal information products, all for industrial, scientific and business
applications. The markets for test and measurement instruments are influenced by
specialized manufacturers which often have great strength in narrow market
segments. In general, however, the Company believes that it is one of the
principal suppliers in these markets.

BACKLOG

The Company believes that backlog is not a meaningful indicator of future
business prospects due to the volume of products delivered from shelf
inventories, the shortening of product delivery schedules, and the portion of
revenue related to its service and support business. Therefore, the Company
believes that backlog information is not material to an understanding of its
business.

PATENTS

The Company's general policy has been to seek patent protection for those
inventions and improvements likely to be incorporated into its products or to
give the Company a competitive advantage. While the Company believes that its
patents and applications have value, in general no single patent is in itself
essential. The Company believes that its technological position depends
primarily on the technical competence and creative ability of its research and
development personnel.

MATERIALS

The Company's manufacturing operations employ a wide variety of
semiconductors, electro-mechanical components and assemblies, and raw materials
such as plastic resins and sheet metal. The Company believes that the materials
and supplies necessary for its manufacturing operations are presently available
in the quantities required. The Company purchases materials, supplies and
product sub-assemblies from a substantial number of vendors. For many of its
products, the Company has existing alternate sources of supply, or such sources
are readily available. A portion of the Company's manufacturing operations is
dependent on the ability of significant suppliers to deliver integral
sub-assemblies and components in time to meet critical manufacturing schedules.
The failure of suppliers to deliver these sub-assemblies and components in a
timely manner may adversely affect the Company's operating results until
alternate sourcing could be developed. The Company believes that alternate
suppliers or design solutions could be arranged within a reasonable time so that
material long-term adverse impacts would be unlikely.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The process of developing new high technology products is complex and
uncertain and requires innovative designs that anticipate customer needs and
technological trends. After the products are developed, the Company must quickly
manufacture products in sufficient volumes at acceptable costs to meet demand.

Expenditures for research and development amounted to $2.0 billion in
fiscal 1994, $1.8 billion in fiscal 1993 and $1.6 billion in fiscal 1992. In
fiscal 1994, research and development expenditures were 8.1 percent of net
revenue.

ENVIRONMENT

The operations of the Company involve the use of substances regulated under
various federal, state and international laws governing the environment. It is
the Company's policy to apply strict standards for environmental protection to
sites inside and outside the U.S., even if not subject to regulations imposed by
local governments. Liability for environmental remediation is accrued when it is
considered probable and costs can be reasonably estimated. Environmental
expenditures are presently not material to HP's operations or financial
position.

EMPLOYEES

The Company had approximately 98,400 employees worldwide at October 31,
1994.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 3000 Hanover
Street, Palo Alto, California 94304. As of October 31, 1994, the Company owned
or leased a total of approximately 42.7 million square feet of space worldwide.
The Company believes that its existing properties are in good condition and
suitable for the conduct of its business.

The Company's plants are equipped with machinery, most of which is owned by
the Company and is in part developed by it to meet the special requirements for
manufacturing precision electronic instruments and systems. At the end of fiscal
year 1994 the Company was productively utilizing the vast majority of the space
in its facilities, while actively disposing of space determined to be excess.

The Company anticipates that most of the capital necessary for expansion
will continue to be obtained from internally generated funds. Investment in new
property, plant and equipment amounted to $1.3 billion in fiscal 1994, $1.4
billion in fiscal 1993 and $1.0 billion in fiscal 1992.

As of October 31, 1994, the Company's marketing operations occupied
approximately 10.4 million square feet, of which 3.5 million square feet are
located within the United States. The Company owns 53% of the space used for
marketing activities and leases the remaining 47%.

The Company's manufacturing plants, research and development facilities and
warehouse and administrative facilities occupied 32.3 million square feet, of
which 22.6 million square feet are located within the United States. The Company
owns 74% of its manufacturing, research and development, warehouse and
administrative space and leases the remaining 26%. None of the property owned by
the Company is held subject to any major encumbrances.

The locations of the Company's geographic operations are listed on the
inside back cover of the Company's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders, which
page is incorporated herein by reference. The locations of the Company's major
