TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Financial Statements

Earnings per common and common equivalent share are based on average common
and common equivalent shares outstanding (197.2 and 194.2 million shares for
the first quarters of 1997 and 1996). Shares issuable upon exercise of
dilutive stock options and upon conversion of dilutive convertible debentures
are included in average common and common equivalent shares outstanding.

In the first quarter of 1997, the company sold its mobile computing business
and terminated its digital imaging printing development program. As a result,
the company took a pretax charge of $56 million in the first quarter, of which
$27 million was for severance for involuntary employment reductions worldwide.
These severance actions were essentially completed by the end of the quarter
and affected approximately 1,045 employees. The balance, $29 million, was for
other costs associated with the business sale and program termination,
including vendor cancellation and lease charges.

The statements of income, statements of cash flows and balance sheet at
March 31, 1997, are not audited but reflect all adjustments which are of a
normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a
fair statement of the results of the periods shown.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

Higher operating margins in the Registrant's (the "company" or "TI")
differentiated semiconductor products led to improved profitability in the
first quarter of 1997. Major strategic actions continue to accelerate TI's
progress in providing value, growth and improved financial stability, and
further strengthen TI's position in digital signal processing solutions
(DSPS).

Note: Throughout this report, TI's defense operations are reported as a
discontinued business. As previously reported, TI expects the acquisition by
Raytheon of its defense business to close in the second quarter of 1997.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Revenues from continuing operations during the first quarter of 1997 were
$2263 million, down 15 percent from the year-ago period, reflecting lower
prices for dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips, and the absence of
revenues due to the sale of TI's mobile computing, custom manufacturing
services and printer businesses.

Results for the current quarter include a special pretax charge of $56
million, primarily related to severance actions and other costs associated
with the sale of TI's mobile computing business.

Earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter from continuing operations, excluding
the charge, were $0.70, compared with $0.68 in the year-ago period. EPS from
discontinued operations were $0.14, compared with $0.16 in the first quarter
of 1996. Including the charge, EPS from continuing operations were $0.52.

Profit from operations (PFO) from continuing operations, excluding the charge,
was $227 million versus $146 million in the year-ago period. Net income from
continuing operations, excluding the charge, was $138 million versus $132
million in the first quarter of 1996. Including the charge, PFO from
continuing operations was $171 million and net income was $102 million. Net
income from discontinued operations was $27 million versus $31 million in the
year-ago period.

TI's operating profit margin, excluding the charge, improved sharply in the
first quarter to 10.0 percent, up from 5.5 percent in the year-ago period, due
to higher gross margins. Marketing, general and administrative expenses for
TI as a percentage of revenues were 15.6 percent, compared with 14.8 percent
in the year-ago period, excluding the portion of the charge related to this
expense category. Including the charge, operating profit margin in the first
quarter was 7.6 percent.

SEMICONDUCTOR

Semiconductor orders were higher than the year-ago period and grew at double-
digit rates over the fourth quarter of 1996, with strength across all products
and geographic regions. Orders for DSP Solutions (DSPs and mixed-
signal/analog products) reached record levels, with particular strength in
mass storage, networking and wireless communications end equipment markets.


6

TI's semiconductor revenues were below year-ago levels, primarily due to lower
DRAM prices. Excluding memory, semiconductor revenues were significantly
higher than year-ago levels. Revenues for digital signal processors and
mixed-signal/analog products continue strong, at more than 40 percent of total
semiconductor revenues.

Semiconductor profit from operations was up substantially from the first
quarter of 1996, reflecting strength in differentiated products. Compared
with the fourth quarter of 1996 (excluding special charges), PFO was up more
than 50 percent because of differentiated semiconductors and narrowing losses
in DRAMs.

During the quarter, TI strengthened its leadership position in digital signal
processors with the introduction of the TMS320C6x, which has the speed and
power to support the explosive growth of data communications, especially the
Internet.

U.S. Robotics, the leading supplier of computer modems to the retail channel,
began shipments during the quarter of the x2 modem, based on a DSP solution
from TI. It provides data transmission at speeds up to twice that of existing
modems. Packard Bell NEC, Inc., a leading manufacturer of personal computers,
also announced the adoption of the x2 modem.

MATERIALS & CONTROLS

Revenues in TI's materials and controls business were up slightly from the
first quarter of 1996. Operating profit margins increased from the first
quarter of 1996 and are at double-digit levels. The materials and controls
business continues to develop electronic sensors, and recently won a multi-
million dollar order for TIRIS radio frequency identification systems that
will provide gas pump point-of-sale capability to Mobil Corp.

PERSONAL PRODUCTIVITY PRODUCTS

As previously announced, TI sold its mobile computing business to The Acer
Group during the quarter. Revenues during the quarter in the calculator
business reflected seasonal patterns. The business continues to invest in new
product development, and plans to expand in the educational market in Europe
and Asia during 1997.

EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES

TI continues to focus on achieving cost reductions in its digital imaging
operation as it transitions from a research and development phase into volume
production. During the quarter, TI began shipping digital light processing
(DLP) products for high brightness, professional projection systems
manufactured by Digital Projection Limited, Electrohome, and Sony.

TI's software business released Composer 4(R) during the quarter, which
provides the baseline toolset that enables customers to develop systems by
assembling a collection of software components.





7

SUMMARY

TI's plans for 1997 are based on a moderate recovery in the world
semiconductor market of about 10 percent growth, following a decline of nine
percent in 1996. The non-DRAM portion of the market will likely grow more
than 10 percent, with differentiated semiconductors such as DSPs and mixed-
signal analog products growing two to three times faster than the overall
market.

Based on TI's latest customer survey, semiconductor inventories remain at
record low levels. The company is seeing signs of improved stability in DRAM
pricing, and the combination of cost controls and momentum in TI's
differentiated semiconductors are having a positive impact on the company's
performance.

Total down 5% down 15%
</TABLE>

TI's orders for the first quarter of 1997 were $2500 million, compared with
$2635 million in the same period of 1996. The decrease was due primarily to
lower DRAM prices and the sale of TI's mobile computing, custom manufacturing
services and printer businesses.

TI's revenues for the first quarter of 1997 were $2263 million, compared with
$2675 million in the same period of 1996. The decrease in the components
segment was due to DRAM pricing. Digital products revenues were down due to
the sale of TI's mobile computing, custom manufacturing services and printer
businesses.

Royalty revenues in first-quarter 1997 were up moderately from the same period
of 1996, primarily due to the previously announced cross-licensing agreement
with Samsung Electronics Company, Ltd.

In the first quarter of 1997, the company sold its mobile computing business
and terminated its digital printing development program. As a result, the
company took a special pretax charge of $56 million in the first quarter, of
which $27 million was for severance for involuntary employment reductions
worldwide.

Excluding the charge, profit from operations for the first quarter of 1997 was
up substantially from the year-ago period to $227 million, primarily because
of strength in differentiated semiconductors and the absence of losses in
mobile computing.





8
Components segment profit was up from the first quarter of 1996, primarily the
result of increased volume and higher margins in differentiated
semiconductors, despite the loss in memory.

Excluding the charge of $38 million, the digital products segment essentially
broke even during the first quarter of 1997. The improvement from the first
quarter of 1996 was due to the absence of mobile computing losses.

The income tax rate for the first quarter of 1997 was 35 percent, which is the
estimated rate for the full year.

TI's financial condition remains sound. During the quarter, cash and cash
equivalents plus short-term investments increased by $74 million to $1052
million. Cash flow from operating activities net of additions to property,
plant and equipment was a positive $53 million. On January 6, 1997, TI and
Raytheon Company announced that their boards of directors had approved a
definitive agreement for Raytheon to purchase the assets of TI's defense
operations for $2.95 billion in cash. The transaction is subject to Hart-
Scott-Rodino antitrust review and is expected to close in the second quarter
of 1997. TI plans to use the net proceeds from the sale to strengthen its
focus on digital solutions for the networked society.

The outstanding balance of commercial paper was $300 million at the end of the
quarter, essentially unchanged from year-end 1996. The debt-to-total-capital
ratio was .32, down from the year-end 1996 value of .33.

TI's backlog of unfilled orders as of March 31, 1997, was $1860 million, up
$237 million from the end of 1996, due to strong semiconductor orders.
Backlog was down $303 million from the year-ago period due to lower DRAM
prices. Excluding memory, total backlog was up from the first quarter of
1996.

R&D was $239 million in the first quarter of 1997, compared with $243 million
in the first quarter of 1996. R&D is expected to be $1.1 billion in 1997, up
from $1.0 billion in 1996 (excluding the one-time charge associated with the
SSi acquisition), primarily to support semiconductors.

Capital expenditures in the first quarter of this year were $225 million,
compared to $523 million in the first quarter of 1996. For the full year
1997, TI expects capital expenditures to be $1.1 billion.

Depreciation for the first quarter of 1997 was $246 million, compared to $173
million in the year-ago period. Depreciation for 1997 is projected at $1.1
billion, up from $904 million in 1996.
