To the Participants and Plan
Administrator of the Trimble Navigation
Savings and Retirement Plan

                         INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

         We were engaged to audit the financial statements and supplemental
schedules of Trimble Navigation Savings and Retirement Plan (the Plan) as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and for the years then ended and as listed in the
accompanying table of contents. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the
Plan's management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of
the Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

         Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information
included in Schedule G - Financial Schedules (IRS Form 5500) is presented for
the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department
of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

See Independent accountants' report and accompanying notes to financial statements. Page 11 of 19 12 TRIMBLE NAVIGATION SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1995 and 1994 NOTE 1 - THE PLAN AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following description of the Trimble Navigation Savings and Retirement Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. The Plan is a defined contribution plan that was established in 1988 by Trimble Navigation Limited (the Company) to provide benefits to eligible employees. The Plan covers all full-time employees of the Company who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). ADMINISTRATION - The Company contracted with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company to act as the trustee as of October 1994. The Company has appointed an Administrative Committee (the Committee) to control the operation and administration of the Plan. A third-party administrator, appointed by the Committee, processes and maintains the records of participant data. Effective January 1996, the Company contracted with Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (CIGNA) to act as third-party administrator and trustee. All expenses incurred for administering the funds are paid by the Company. INVESTMENTS - Investments of the Plan at December 31, 1995 were held by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company and invested in various mutual funds, guaranteed investment contracts, and the Company's common stock, based solely upon instructions received from participants. For the Plan's investment in guaranteed investment contracts, the contracts are credited with interest at the rate specified in the contract, which ranged from 6.5% to 8.97% for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. Effective January 1996, investments of the Plan were held by CIGNA and invested in various mutual funds, by AIM Aggressive Fund, and by National Financial Services and invested in the Company's common stock. Plan assets are valued at fair value as of the last day of the Plan year, as measured by quoted market prices, or contract value based on the terms of the contract. Page 12 of 19 13 VESTING - Participants are immediately vested in their salary deferral, rollover contributions, related earnings, and employer's matching contributions. INCOME TAXES - The Plan has received a favorable determination letter dated November 28, 1995. The Plan Committee believes the Plan qualifies under the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and related state statutes, and is exempt from federal income and state franchise taxes. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. STATEMENT OF POSITION 94-4 - The Company is required to adopt Statement of Position 94-4, "Reporting of Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Pension Plans" (SOP 94-4), for the Plan year beginning January 1, 1996. Under the new reporting requirements, investment contracts without fully benefit-responsive features must be reported at fair value. The adoption of SOP 94-4 is not expected to have a material financial impact on the Plan. NOTE 2 - PARTICIPATION AND BENEFITS: EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS - Participants may elect to have the Company contribute a percentage, from 1% to 18%, of their pre-tax compensation up to the amount allowable under current income tax regulations. Participants who elect to have the Company contribute a portion of their compensation to the Plan agree to accept an equivalent reduction in taxable compensation. Participants are also allowed to make rollover contributions of amounts received from other qualified employer-sponsored retirement plans. Such contributions are deposited in the appropriate investment funds in accordance with the participant's direction and the Plan's provisions. Page 13 of 19 14 EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS - The Company is allowed to make matching contributions as defined in the Plan and as approved by the Board of Directors. The Company matches 100% of each participant's contribution up to a maximum of $1,200 per year. Contributions for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 were approximately $820,000 and $664,000. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution, Plan earnings and an allocation of the Company's contribution, if any. Allocations of the Company contribution are based on the participant contributions. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS - Upon termination, the participant or beneficiary will receive benefits in a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in his or her account. LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS - The Plan allows participants to borrow up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. The loans are secured by the participant's vested balance. Such loans bear interest at the available market financing rates and must be repaid to the Plan within a five year period, unless the loan is used for the purchase of a residence in which case the maximum repayment period is ten years. The specific terms and conditions of such loans are established by the Plan Committee.
