NOTE 3--REPORTABLE BUSINESS SEGMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The Company has two reportable business segments: interconnect products and
assemblies and cable products. The interconnect products and assemblies segment
produces interconnect products and assemblies, primarily for the communications,
aerospace, industrial and automotive markets. The cable products segment
primarily produces coaxial and flat ribbon cable mainly for communication
markets, including cable television. The Company evaluates the performance of
business units on, among other things, profit or loss from operations before
interest expense, amortization expense, headquarters' expense allocations,
income taxes and nonrecurring gains and losses. The Company's reportable
segments are an aggregation of business units that have similar production
processes and products. The segment results for the three months ended September
30, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:

NOTE 4--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the course of pursuing its normal business activities, the Company is
involved in various legal proceedings and claims. Management does not expect
that amounts, if any, which may be required to be paid by reason of such
proceedings or claims will have a material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

Subsequent to the acquisition of Amphenol from Allied Signal Corporation in
1987 (Allied Signal merged with Honeywell International Inc. in December 1999
("Honeywell")), Amphenol and Honeywell have been named jointly and severally
liable as potentially responsible parties in relation to several environmental
cleanup sites. Amphenol and Honeywell have jointly consented to perform certain
investigations and remedial and monitoring activities at two sites and they have
been jointly ordered to perform work at another site. The responsibility for
costs incurred relating to these three sites is apportioned between Amphenol and
Honeywell based on an agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition
in 1987. For sites covered by this agreement, to the extent that conditions or
circumstances occurred or existed at the time of or prior to the acquisition,
Honeywell is currently obligated to pay 80% of the costs up to $30,000 and 100%
of the costs in excess of $30,000. At September 30, 2002, approximately $28,000
of costs have been incurred applicable to this agreement. Honeywell
representatives work closely with the Company in addressing the most significant
environmental liabilities. Management does not believe that the costs associated
with resolution of these or any other environmental matters will have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

AMPHENOL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

NOTE 4--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
A subsidiary of the Company has an agreement with a financial institution
whereby the subsidiary can sell an undivided interest of up to $85,000 in a
designated pool of qualified accounts receivable. The agreement expires in May
2004 with respect to $60,000 of accounts receivable and expires in July 2003
with respect to an additional $25,000 of accounts receivable. Under the terms of
the agreement, new receivables are added to the pool as collections reduce
previously sold accounts receivable. The Company services, administers and
collects the receivables on behalf of the purchaser. Program fees payable to the
purchaser under this agreement are equivalent to rates afforded high quality
commercial paper issuers plus certain administrative expenses and are included
in other expenses, net, in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.
The agreement contains certain covenants and provides for various events of
termination. In certain circumstances the Company is contingently liable for the
collection of the receivables sold; management believes that its allowance for
doubtful accounts is adequate to absorb the expense of any such liability. At
September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, approximately $64,700 and $74,200,
respectively, of receivables were sold under the agreement and are therefore not
reflected in the accounts receivable balance in the accompanying Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet.

NOTE 5--NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard
("FAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". The standard changes
the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life
whereby such assets will no longer be amortized; however, the standard does
require evaluation for impairment and a corresponding write down, if
appropriate. FAS No. 142 requires an initial evaluation of impairment upon
adoption and annual evaluations thereafter. Such evaluations were performed as
of January 1, 2002 and June 30, 2002, resulting in the conclusions that there
was no impairment in the value of the Company's goodwill and other intangible
assets.

Pro forma information as if goodwill had not been amortized for the third
quarter and nine months of 2001 is as follows:

10

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FAS No. 143, "Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations" and FAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". FAS No. 143 addresses the recognition and
remeasurement of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets. FAS No. 144 addresses accounting and reporting for the
impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, including discontinued operations.
There was no effect to the Company's financial statements as a result of such
adoption.

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 (FAS 146), "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". The statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities
and requires that a liability for such costs be recognized and measured in the
period in which a liability is incurred. The statement is effective beginning
January 1, 2003, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

ITEM 2. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER AND
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001

Net sales for the third quarter of 2002 increased approximately 6% to
$268,115 compared to sales of $252,581 for the same period in 2001. Net sales
for the nine months of 2002 decreased approximately 6% to $794,956 compared to
sales of $843,399 for the same period in 2001. The increase in sales for the
third quarter of 2002 is attributable to increased sales of interconnect and
cable products in all of the Company's major markets of military/aerospace,
industrial/automotive, and communications. The decrease in sales for the nine
months of 2002 is attributable to decreased sales of interconnect and cable
products for communications markets, and to a lesser extent decreased sales of
interconnect products for industrial applications. Such decreases were partially
offset by increased sales of interconnect products for aerospace and defense
applications. Currency translation had the effect of increasing sales by
approximately $7.7 million and $5.7 million in the third quarter and nine month
period of 2002, respectively, when compared to exchange rates for the comparable
2001 periods.

The gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales (including depreciation
in cost of sales) was 31% for the third quarter and nine months of 2002 compared
to 33% and 34%, respectively, for the same periods in 2001. The decrease in
gross profit margin is generally attributable to product mix and market
conditions, particularly in the communications markets, partially offset by cost
reduction activities, and for the nine month period, to the adverse effects of
lower sales volume.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
remained relatively constant at approximately 14% for the third quarter and nine
months 2002 and 2001.

Goodwill amortization expense was nil in both the third quarter and nine
months of 2002, as a result of adopting FAS No. 142; whereas goodwill
amortization was $3,648 and $10,688 in the third quarter and nine months of
2001, respectively.

Interest expense for the third quarter and nine months of 2002 decreased to
$11,482 and $37,178 compared to $14,042 and $42,361 for the 2001 periods,
respectively. The decrease in both periods is attributable to lower average debt
levels and lower interest rates.

The provision for income taxes for the nine months of 2002 was at an
effective rate of 35% compared to 38% in the 2001 period. For the nine months of
2001, the effective tax rate, excluding non-deductible goodwill amortization,
was 35%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities was $112,971 in the nine months of
2002 compared to $82,190 in the 2001 period. The increase in cash flow relates
primarily to a net decrease in non-cash components of working capital offset in
part by a decrease in net income.

For the nine months of 2002, cash from operating activities and cash on hand
were used to repay $83,420 in bank debt, fund capital expenditures of $13,848,
fund acquisitions of $13,996, and reduce the sales of receivables by $9,500. In
the 2001 period, cash from operating activities and cash on hand were used to
fund capital expenditures of $28,397, and acquisitions of $57,822; and
borrowings of $52,793 under the Company's credit facilities were used to fund a
reduction in sales of receivables of $20,600 and Term Loan amortization of
$30,000 under the Company's bank loan agreement (the "Bank Agreement").

12

The Company has a bank loan agreement, which includes a Term Loan,
encompassing a Tranche A and B, and a $150 million revolving credit facility. At
September 30, 2002 the Tranche A had a balance of $184.5 million and matures
over the period 2003 to 2004, and the Tranche B had a balance of $284.5 million
and matures over the period 2005 and 2006. The revolving credit facility expires
in 2004; availability under the facility at September 30, 2002 was $142.8
million, after reduction of $7.2 million for outstanding letters of credit. The
Bank Agreement is secured by a first priority pledge of 100% of the capital
stock of the Company's direct domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock
of the direct material foreign subsidiaries, as defined in the Bank Agreement.
The Bank Agreement also requires that the Company satisfy certain financial
covenants including interest coverage and leverage ratio tests, and includes
limitations with respect to, among other things, indebtedness and restricted
payments, including dividends on the Company's common stock.

The Company's EBITDA, as defined in the Bank Agreement was $156 million and
$200.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. EBITDA is not a defined term under Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) and is not an alternative to operating income or cash flow
from operations as determined under GAAP. The Company believes that EBITDA
provides additional information for determining its ability to meet future debt
service requirements; however, EBITDA does not reflect cash available to fund
cash requirements.

The Company's primary ongoing cash requirements will be for operating and
capital expenditures, product development activities and debt service. The
Company's debt service requirements consist primarily of principal and interest
on bank borrowings and interest on its 9 ( 7)/(8)% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2007. The Company had an interest rate swap agreement that fixed the interest
rate on $300 million of bank loans; such swap agreement expired in October 2002,
and accordingly, the Company's interest expense will decline in the fourth
quarter 2002.

The Company has not paid, and does not have any present intention to
commence payment of, cash dividends on its common stock. The Company expects
that ongoing requirements for operating and capital expenditures, product
development activities and debt service will be funded by internally-generated
cash flow and availability under the Company's revolving credit facility. The
Company may also use cash to fund part or all of the cost of future
acquisitions.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Subsequent to the acquisition of Amphenol from Allied Signal Corporation in
1987 (Allied Signal merged with Honeywell International Inc. in December 1999
("Honeywell")), Amphenol and Honeywell have been named jointly and severally
liable as potentially responsible parties in relation to several environmental
cleanup sites. Amphenol and Honeywell have jointly consented to perform certain
investigations and remedial and monitoring activities at two sites and they have
been jointly ordered to perform work at another site. The responsibility for
costs incurred relating to these three sites is apportioned between Amphenol and
Honeywell based on an agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition
in 1987. For sites covered by this agreement, to the extent that conditions or
circumstances occurred or existed at the time of or prior to the acquisition,
Honeywell is currently obligated to pay 80% of the costs up to $30 million and
100% of the costs in excess of $30 million. At September 30, 2002, approximately
$28 million of costs have been incurred applicable to this agreement. Honeywell
representatives work closely with the Company in addressing the most significant
environmental liabilities. Management does not believe that the costs associated
with resolution of these or any other environmental matters will have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
