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.

On a worldwide basis, Hewlett-Packard Company, together with its
consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company"), designs, manufactures and services
equipment and systems for measurement, computation and communications. The
Company offers a wide variety of systems and standalone products, including
computer systems, personal computers ("PCs"), printers and other peripheral
products, electronic test equipment and systems, medical electronic equipment,
calculators and other personal information products, solid state components
and instrumentation for chemical analysis. Services such as systems
integration, selective-outsourcing management, consulting, education, product
financing and rentals, as well as customer support and maintenance, are also
an integral part of the Company's offerings. These products and services are
used in industry, business, engineering, science, medicine and education. A
summary of the Company's net revenue as contributed by its major groupings of
similar products and services is found on page 46 of the Company's 1995 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, servers and PCs for use in homes, small workgroups,
larger departments and entire enterprises. Key products include the HP 9000
series, which runs HP-UX, the Company's implementation of the UNIX(R)(/1/)
operating system, and comprises both workstations with powerful computational
and graphics capabilities as well as multiuser computers for both technical
and commercial applications; and the HP Vectra series of IBM-compatible PCs
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 1995, the Company introduced the HP
9000 K-class midrange server, which incorporates the HP-UX 10.0 operating
system, also introduced this year. In addition, the Company brought out the HP
9000 J-class workstations, which feature VISUALIZE graphics and are intended
for use in mechanical- and electronic-design automation. Other new products
included the HP 9000 Model 715/100 XC midrange workstation and the HP 9000
Model 712/100 at the low end. The Company also announced its next-generation
PA-RISC microprocessor, the PA-8000. This year the Company introduced its
first line of PCs specifically intended for home users, the HP Pavilion PC.
The Company continued to enhance its HP Vectra PC series, the HP NetServer
family of PC servers and the HP OmniBook line of mobile PCs.

In the information-storage business, the Company introduced the HP SureStore
CD-Writer 4020i, a compact disc ("CD") player/recorder system that enables PC
users to play from and record information to CDs; and the industry's first
3.5-inch disk drives with 8.7 gigabytes of storage capacity.

Key software introductions in fiscal 1995 included the next generation of HP
JetAdmin network-printer management software, which helps users track and
manage individual print jobs; HP MeasureWare, which allows information
technology managers to understand and monitor the performance of distributed
computing

environments; and the HP OpenView Solution Framework program, which addresses
customer needs for network, system, application and database management.

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 1995, the Company introduced the HP
LaserJet 5L printer, which is designed for the home or small office and which
incorporates a suite of enabling technologies designed to optimize printer
performance regardless of the type of PC, operating system or application
being used. The Company also brought out the HP LaserJet 5Si MX printer, a
network printer that operates at 24 pages per minute and is more than 40
percent faster than its HP predecessor. Other key new products were the HP
DeskJet 660C printer, which replaced the HP DeskJet 560C and which uses newly
designed printheads and ink formulas that yield superior print quality for
black text and color images; the HP DeskJet 1600C printer, which prints color
output at four pages per minute; and the HP DeskJet 850C printer, designed for
the home or small office and able to produce near-photographic-quality color
output on plain paper. Other significant new products introduced this year
include the HP CopyJet color printer-copier, which combines inkjet printing
with digital imaging; the HP DesignJet 750C large-format color plotter; and the
HP ScanJet 4Si scanner, the industry's first network scanner.

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
introductions for measurement systems in fiscal 1995 included the announcement
of technologies designed to synchronize better the timing of digital
communications networks; test sets for Groupe Speciale Mobile ("GSM"), a
global standard for cellular phones; the HP PalmVue system, which links
physicians outside a hospital to data on critical-care patients; and the HP
6890 Series of gas chromatographs, the Company's next-generation systems that
offer an extended range of automation features and built-in diagnostics.

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 strategy 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 light-emitting diodes. The products are sold primarily to
other manufacturers for incorporation into their electronic products but also
are used in many of the Company's products. In fiscal 1995, the Company
introduced the industry's first low-cost serial infrared transceiver, which
makes possible "point and shoot" communication among devices such as laptop
computers and mobile phones. The Company also brought out second-generation
products for GSM.

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,

2


general-purpose instruments, computers and computer systems, peripherals and
network products. During fiscal 1995, the Company derived 16 percent of its
net revenue from such services. This figure reflects a fiscal 1995
reclassification of revenue from consumable supplies, consisting primarily of
supplies for the Company's printer products, from the service to the product
category.

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 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 1995 the Company's Standard
Template Library was accepted by a key standards committee as part of the
emerging standard for the C++ programming language.

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, health care
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 reseller channels, including dealers and original equipment
manufacturers. The remaining product orders result from the efforts of its own
sales organization selling to end users. Sales operations are supported by
approximately 35,000 individuals, including field service engineers, sales
representatives, service personnel and administrative support staff. In fiscal
1995, a higher proportion of the Company's net revenue than in fiscal 1994 was
generated from products such as personal peripherals, which are primarily sold
through resellers. As more of the Company's products are distributed through
resellers, these resellers become more important to the Company's success.
Some of these companies are thinly capitalized and may be unable to withstand
changes in business conditions. The Company's financial results could be
adversely affected if the financial condition of these resellers substantially
weakens.

International. The Company's total orders originating outside the United
States, as a percentage of total company orders, were approximately 55 percent
in fiscal 1995 and 54 percent in fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1993. 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 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 44 of the Company's
1995 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

3


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. To remain competitive, the Company will be required to
continue to develop new products, periodically enhance its existing products
and compete effectively in the manner described above. In particular, the
Company anticipates that it will have to continue to adjust prices to stay
competitive and effectively manage growth with correspondingly reduced gross
margins.

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 that 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, electromechanical 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 subassemblies 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. Portions of the Company's
manufacturing operations are dependent on the ability of significant suppliers
to deliver completed products, integral subassemblies and components in time
to meet critical distribution and manufacturing schedules. The failure of
suppliers to deliver these products, subassemblies and components in a timely
manner may adversely affect the Company's operating results until alternate
sourcing could be developed. In addition, the Company periodically experiences
constrained supply of certain component parts in some product lines as a
result of strong demand in those product lines as well as strong demand in the
industry. Continued supply constraints 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
minimized.

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. Without the introduction of new products and product
enhancements, the Company's products are likely to become technologically
obsolete, in which case

4


revenues would be materially and adversely affected. There can be no assurance
that such new products, if and when introduced, will receive market
acceptance. 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 increased 14 percent in fiscal
1995 to $2.3 billion compared to $2.0 billion and 15 percent growth in fiscal
1994 and $1.8 billion and 9 percent growth in fiscal 1993. In fiscal 1995,
research and development expenditures were 7.3 percent of net revenue,
compared to 8.1 percent in fiscal 1994 and 8.7 percent in fiscal 1993. The
Company anticipates that it will continue to have significant research and
development expenditures in order to maintain its competitive position with a
continuing flow of innovative, high-quality products.

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. The liability for environmental remediation and related
costs is accrued when it is considered probable and the costs can be
estimated. Environmental costs are presently not material to the Company's
operations or financial position.

EMPLOYEES

The Company had approximately 102,300 employees worldwide at October 31,
1995.

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT

Information regarding the executive officers of the Company is set forth in
Part III below.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 3000 Hanover
Street, Palo Alto, California 94304. As of October 31, 1995, the Company owned
or leased a total of approximately 43.9 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 1995 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 $1.6 billion in fiscal 1995,
$1.3 billion in fiscal 1994 and $1.4 billion in fiscal 1993.

As of October 31, 1995, the Company's marketing operations occupied
approximately 11.4 million square feet, of which 3.9 million square feet are
located within the United States. The Company owns 55% of the space used for
marketing activities and leases the remaining 45%.

The Company's manufacturing plants, research and development facilities and
warehouse and administrative facilities occupied 32.5 million square feet, of
which 23.9 million square feet are located within the United States. The
Company owns 80% of its manufacturing, research and development, warehouse and
administrative space and leases the remaining 20%. 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 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders, which

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

There are presently pending no legal proceedings, other than routine
litigation incidental to the Company's business, to which the Company is a
party or to which any of its property is subject.

The Company is a party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings brought by
federal or state environmental agencies under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), known as "superfund," or
state laws similar to CERCLA. The Company is also conducting environmental
investigation or remediation at several of its current or former operating
sites pursuant to administrative orders or consent agreements with state
environmental agencies. Any future liability from such proceedings, in the
aggregate, is not expected to be material to the operations or financial
position of the Company.
