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 (198.5 and 194.6 million shares for
the second quarters of 1997 and 1996, and 197.8 and 194.4 million shares for
the six months ended June 30, 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.

Results for the second quarter of 1997 include a pretax operating charge of
$44 million for the termination of joint-venture agreements in Thailand and a
$66 million pretax gain from the sale of three TI businesses, principally
software.

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.

On July 11, 1997, the sale of TI's defense business was closed with Raytheon
Company for $2.95 billion in cash. The net gain from this sale, after taxes
and transaction costs, will be approximately $1.5 billion and will be included
in discontinued operations in the company's third-quarter 1997 report.

Accounting policy on derivatives: Net currency exchange gains and losses from
forward currency exchange contracts to hedge net balance sheet exposures are
charged or credited on a current basis to other income (expense) net. Gains
and losses from forward currency exchange contracts to hedge specific
transactions are deferred and included in the measurement of the related
transactions. Gains and losses from interest rate swaps are included on the
accrual basis in interest expense. Gains and losses from terminated forward
currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are deferred and
recognized consistent with the terms of the underlying transaction.

The statements of income, statements of cash flows and balance sheet at June
30, 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 and strong revenues for semiconductors, especially in
digital signal processing solutions, drove substantial improvement in
profitability in the second quarter of 1997 for the Registrant (the "company"
or "TI").

TI's operating margin, excluding a special charge, increased in the quarter to
13 percent, compared with the year-ago level of 2 percent. From the first
quarter of 1997, TI's operating margin increased 3 percentage points,
excluding special charges in both quarters. Improvement in semiconductor
operating margin was the major factor in these changes.

During the quarter, TI made progress in its strategy to strengthen its
leadership in digital signal processing solutions, a market that the company
expects will reach $50 billion over the next decade. This progress was
reflected in the broad market acceptance of TI's newest digital signal
processor, the TMS320C6x. A majority of the major Internet access equipment
providers has chosen the 'C6x for their advanced designs. Total design-ins
are growing at a rate faster than any previous generation of digital signal
processors. Additionally, TI completed the divestitures of the software,
telecommunications systems and multipoint systems businesses in order to focus
resources on digital signal processing solutions.

NOTE: On July 11, the sale of TI's defense business was closed with
Raytheon Company for $2.95 billion in cash. The net proceeds have
been placed in short-term interest-bearing money market securities
and will contribute to interest income. The net gain of approximately
$1.5 billion, after taxes and transaction costs, will be included in
the company's third-quarter 1997 results. Throughout this report, the
defense operation is reported as a discontinued business.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Revenues for the second quarter of 1997 were $2559 million, up 7 percent
from the year-ago period, primarily because of strong semiconductor demand,
particularly for TI's digital signal processing solutions. Financial results
in the second quarter of 1996 included revenues from TI businesses that have
since been sold, primarily mobile computing and printers.

Results for the current quarter also include two special pretax items:
an operating charge of $44 million for the termination of joint-venture
agreements in Thailand, and a $66 million gain from the sale of three TI
businesses, the largest of which was software.

Additionally, second quarter 1997 results include an accrual of $32 million
for profit sharing. No accrual was taken in the first quarter of 1997.
Results also include catch-up royalties from two new semiconductor patent
cross-license agreements.

Excluding the two special items, earnings per share (EPS) from
continuing operations were $1.07. Including the special items, EPS from
continuing operations were $1.13, compared with $0.21 in the year-ago period.
EPS from discontinued operations were $0.13, compared with $0.18 in the
second quarter of 1996.



5

Net income from continuing operations, excluding the special items, was $213
million versus $41 million in the second quarter of 1996. Including the
special items, net income was $224 million. Net income from discontinued
operations was $25 million versus $35 million in the second quarter of 1996.

Profit from operations (PFO) from continuing operations, excluding the
operating charge, was $336 million versus $40 million in the year-ago period.
Including the operating charge, PFO from continuing operations was $287
million.

SEMICONDUCTOR

In the second quarter of 1997, semiconductor orders grew 72 percent over the
prior-year level, which had been affected by an unusually sharp decline in
prices for dynamic random access memories (DRAMs). Compared with the first
quarter of 1997, semiconductor orders, excluding memories, were up. Digital
signal processing solutions again reached record levels, with particular
strength in wireless communications and networking end-equipment markets.
Orders for DRAMs were lower, which caused total semiconductor orders to be
flat compared with the first quarter.

Semiconductor revenues were up 17 percent from the second quarter of 1996, and
up 10 percent from the first quarter of 1997. The major portion of the
increase was due to higher sales of digital signal processing solutions, which
represent more than 40 percent of total semiconductor revenues. With the
completed divestitures, semiconductor now constitutes about 80 percent of TI's
total revenues.

Semiconductor PFO increased fourfold versus the year-ago quarter, and more
than 45 percent versus the first quarter of 1997, excluding special charges.
Solid gains were made in manufacturing productivity. Semiconductor operating
margin increased 10 percentage points from a year ago, and was up 4 percentage
points from the first quarter of 1997.

The loss in DRAMs narrowed for the third consecutive quarter. However,
pricing pressures increased in the latter part of the quarter, keeping
pressure on the DRAM business in the near term.

MATERIALS & CONTROLS

Revenues and PFO in TI's materials and controls business were at record levels
in the second quarter of 1997, up 5 percent and 46 percent, respectively, from
the year-ago period. Operating margin increased nearly 3 percentage points
from the first quarter of 1997 and was at solid double-digit levels in the
second quarter.

Increased demand for TIRIS(TM) radio frequency identification systems was a
major factor in the strong growth in orders in materials and controls. Since
the beginning of the year, this business has completed shipment of more than
800,000 TIRIS key tags to Mobil USA as part of Mobil's gas pump point-of-sale
program, called Speedpass(TM).








6

CALCULATORS

Revenues for this business were 19 percent higher in the second quarter of
1997 compared with the year-ago period, and PFO was up 16 percent. The
improvement was due to strength in graphing calculators. This business
typically delivers peak financial performance in the second and third
quarters, due primarily to the school-year cycle.

Also in the second quarter, the calculator business strengthened its focus on
geographic expansion by extending the Teachers Teaching with Technology
program to Europe, Asia and Latin America. This program promotes the adoption
and effective use of TI calculators in math and science curricula.

DIGITAL IMAGING

TI continues to reduce costs in digital imaging as this operation transitions
from a research and development phase into a very competitive market
environment. During the quarter, several projector manufacturers demonstrated
a wide range of new products based on TI's technology. Efforts continue to
resolve production start-up problems on home entertainment projection systems.

SUMMARY

In the second quarter, end-equipment manufacturers continued to tightly
control inventories. TI's latest survey of U.S. customers shows that
semiconductor inventories decreased to a record low level of 2.4 weeks, down
from 2.5 weeks in the previous quarter.

Growth in the market for digital signal processors remains strong -- at about
30 percent annually. Volatility in the DRAM market is expected to continue in
the near term, although the bit growth rate remains above 90 percent.

TI's outlook for longer-term semiconductor market growth remains positive, and
plans for 1997 continue to be based on a moderate market recovery. As a
result, TI expects capital expenditures in 1997 to be at or slightly above the
previous forecast of $1.1 billion.

</TABLE>


TI's orders for the second quarter of 1997 were $2657 million, compared with
$1927 million in the same period of 1996. The increase in the components
segment was due primarily to a substantial increase in orders for digital
signal processing solutions, along with improvement in memory orders. In the
digital products segment, orders were down, primarily due to the sale of TI's
mobile computing and printer businesses.

TI's revenues for the second quarter of 1997 were $2559 million, compared with
$2399 million in the same period of 1996. The increase in components segment
revenues resulted primarily from increased sales of digital signal processing
solutions and higher royalties. Digital products revenues were down,
primarily due to the sale of TI's mobile computing and printer businesses.

PFO from continuing operations for the second quarter was $287 million,
compared to $40 million in the second quarter of 1996. The increase is
primarily due to higher semiconductor revenues and margins, higher royalties,
and the absence of losses in mobile computing.

As previously announced, during the quarter TI entered into ten-year cross-
licensing agreements with NEC Corporation of Japan and Vanguard International
Semiconductor Corporation. The agreement with Vanguard is the first
semiconductor patent agreement between TI and a Taiwanese company other than
TI's joint venture with the Acer Group.

Components segment profit was up considerably over the second quarter of 1996,
primarily due to higher semiconductor revenues and margins and increased
royalties. The digital products segment was profitable for the quarter
primarily due to the absence of losses in mobile computing.



8

For the first six months of 1997, TI's orders were $5157 million, compared
with $4563 million for the first six months of 1996. The increase in
components segment orders resulted from strong demand for digital signal
processing solutions, as well as improvements in all other product areas.
The digital products segment orders were down significantly due to the sale of
the mobile computing, custom manufacturing and printer businesses.

Net revenues for the first half of 1997 were $4823 million, compared with
$5074 million in the first half of 1996. The increase in component segment
revenue resulted from higher semiconductor revenues and higher royalties. The
decrease in digital products segment revenue was due primarily to the sale of
TI's mobile computing, custom manufacturing and printer businesses.

TI's PFO from continuing operations for the first six months of 1997 was $458
million, compared with $186 million in the first half of 1996. The increase
was primarily from higher semiconductor profits due to improved margins and
increased revenues and higher semiconductor royalty revenues. The moderate
digital products segment increase was due primarily to the absence of losses
in mobile computing.

Net income from continuing operations for the first half of 1997 was $326
million, compared with $173 million in the first six months of 1996. Earnings
per share were $1.65, compared with $0.89.

The income tax rate for the first half of 1997 was 35 percent, which is the
current estimate of the rate for the full year.

During the first six months of 1997, cash and cash equivalents plus short-term
investments increased by $213 million to $1191 million. Cash flow from
operating activities net of additions to property, plant and equipment was
$260 million. Capital expenditures during the first half of 1997 totaled $562
million, and the sale of three TI businesses generated $177 million of cash
in the second quarter. On July 11, 1997, Raytheon Company purchased the
assets of TI's defense operations for $2.95 billion in cash. The net proceeds
have been placed in short-term interest-bearing money market securities. TI
intends to use the cash to strengthen its focus on digital signal processing
solutions.

The outstanding balance of commercial paper was reduced from $300 million to
zero during the second quarter. The debt-to-total-capital ratio was .28, down
from the year-end 1996 value of .33.

TI's backlog of unfilled orders as of June 30, 1997, was $1917 million, up
$225 million from the second quarter of 1996 and up $57 million from the first
quarter of 1997. The increase was primarily due to semiconductor.

TI's R&D was $280 million in the second quarter of 1997, compared with $235
million in the second quarter of 1996. R&D for the first six months of 1997
was $520 million, compared with $478 million in the first half of 1996. R&D
for the full year is expected to be $1.1 billion.

Capital expenditures in the second quarter of this year were $337 million,
compared with $598 million in the second quarter of 1996 and $562 million for
the first half of 1997, compared with $1122 million for the first six months
of 1996.




9

Depreciation in the second quarter of 1997 was $274 million, compared with
$212 million in the second quarter of 1996, and $519 million for the first six
months of 1997, compared with $385 million for the same period of 1996.
Depreciation for the total year is projected at $1.1 billion.
