                         INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

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

We have audited the financial  statements of the Trimble  Navigation Savings and
Retirement  Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000,  and for the years
then ended,  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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  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 benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended,  in conformity with  accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental  schedule 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  schedule  is the
responsibility  of the Plan's  management.  The  supplemental  schedule 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 basic financial statements taken as a whole.

TRIMBLE NAVIGATION
SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - THE PLAN AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General - The  following  description  of the  Trimble  Navigation  Savings  and
Retirement  Plan (the Plan)  provides  only  general  information.  Participants
should refer to the Plan document 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  (the Company) to provide  benefits to eligible  employees.  The Plan
administrator  believes  that the Plan is  currently  designed  and  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),  as
amended.

During  the  year,  the  Plan  document  was  amended  to  change  the  matching
contribution to 50% of the  participants'  contribution up to 5% of compensation
with a maximum of $2,500 per year.

Administration-  The Company has  appointed  an  Administrative  Committee  (the
Committee) to manage the operation and  administration  of the Plan. The Company
contracted  with  Fidelity  Management  Trust  Company  (Fidelity) to act as the
custodian,  trustee and third-party  administrator.  Substantially  all expenses
incurred for administering the Plan are paid by the Company.

Estimates  -  The  preparation  of  financial   statements  in  conformity  with
accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in the  United  States  of  America
requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported
amounts of assets and  liabilities,  and  changes  therein,  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities.  Actual  results  could  differ  from those
estimates.

Basis of accounting - The  financial  statements of the Plan are prepared on the
accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting  principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

Investments  -  Investments  of the Plan were held by Fidelity  and  invested in
mutual  funds and the  Company's  common  stock based  solely upon  instructions
received from participants.

The Plan's investments in mutual funds and the Company's common stock are valued
at fair value as of the last day of the Plan year,  as measured by quoted market
prices. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

                                       4


Income  taxes- The Plan has been amended since  receiving  its latest  favorable
determination  letter dated March 7, 2001. The Company believes that the Plan is
operated in accordance  with,  and continues to qualify  under,  the  applicable
requirements of the Internal  Revenue Code and related state statutes,  and that
the trust,  which forms a part of the Plan,  is exempt from  federal  income and
state franchise taxes.

Risks and  uncertainties - The Plan provides for various  investment  options in
any  combination  of Company  stock,  money market fund,  mutual funds and other
investment  securities offered by the Plan. Investment securities are exposed to
various risks, such as interest rate, market  fluctuations and credit risks. Due
to the level of risk associated  with certain  investment  securities,  it is at
least  reasonably  possible  that  changes  in  risks  in the  near  term  would
materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the
statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in
net assets available for benefits.

NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY AND PARTY IN INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Certain  Plan  investments  in  mutual  funds are  managed  by an  affiliate  of
Fidelity.  These transactions  qualify as party in interest.  Such transactions,
while considered  party-in-interest  transactions under ERISA  regulations,  are
permitted under the provisions of the Plan and are specifically  exempt from the
prohibition of party-in-interest transactions under ERISA.

As  allowed  by the Plan,  participants  may elect to invest a portion  of their
accounts in the common stock of the  Company.  Aggregate  investment  in Company
common stock at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was as follows:

  Date          Number of shares            Fair value             Cost

  2001              244,806                 $3,968,301          $3,916,728
  2000              248,446                 $5,988,059          $4,010,367

NOTE 3 - PARTICIPATION AND BENEFITS

Participant   contributions  -  Participants  may  elect  to  have  the  Company
contribute  from 1% to 18% of  their  eligible  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.  Contributions  withheld
are invested in accordance with the participants' direction.

Participants are also allowed to make rollover contributions of amounts received
from other tax-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.

                                       5



Employer  contributions - The Company is allowed to make matching  contributions
as defined in the Plan and as approved by the Board of Directors. Effective July
1, 2001, the Company matches 50% of the  participant's  contribution up to 5% of
compensation  with a maximum  of $2,500  per year.  Prior to that,  the  Company
matched 100% of each eligible participant's contribution up to a maximum of $100
per month and $1,200 per year.  Contributions  for the years ended  December 31,
2001 and 2000 were approximately $1,545,000 and $642,000, respectively.

Vesting - Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and Company
matching contributions.

Participant  accounts  -  Each  participant's   account  is  credited  with  the
participant's  contribution,  Plan  earnings or losses and an  allocation of the
Company's  contribution,  if any.  Allocation of the Company's  contribution  is
based on the participant contributions, as defined in the Plan.

Payment of benefits - Upon  termination,  the  participant or  beneficiary  will
receive  the  benefits  in  a  lump  sum  amount  equal  to  the  value  of  the
participant's interest in his or her account. The Plan allows for automatic lump
sum distribution of participant account balances that do not exceed $5,000.

Loans to  participants  - The Plan allows  participants  to borrow not less than
$1,000  and up to the lesser of $50,000  or 50% of their  account  balance.  The
loans are secured by the participant's  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 principal  residence
in which case the maximum  repayment period is ten years. The specific terms and
conditions of such loans are established by the Committee.  Outstanding loans at
December 31, 2001 carry interest rates which range from 6.50% to 11.50%.

Note 4 - PLAN MERGER/TRANSFER

In conjunction with the acquisition of Spectra Precision, Inc, Spectra Precision
Software,  and  Tripod  Data  Systems,  Inc.  by the  Company,  assets  totaling
approximately  $32,000,000  were transferred  from the Spectra  Precision,  Inc.
Savings Plus Plan,  Spectra  Precision  Software  401(k)  Plan,  and Tripod Data
Systems, Inc. 401(k) Plan into the Plan during 2001.
