Item 5.  Other Events

Supplemental Financial Statements.
In March 1996, Andrew Corporation completed its acquisition of The Antenna
Company, a manufacturer and distributor of wireless telephone antennas and
accessories for mobile applications. The transaction has been accounted for as a
pooling of interests. In compliance with the accounting rules for a pooling of
interests, Andrew has restated its consolidated financial statements and related
notes included in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995 to
reflect the results of operations of The Antenna Company for all periods prior
to the merger.  Management's Discussion and Analysis and all other items in the
September 30, 1995 Form 10-K were not materially impacted by the merger.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

We have audited the supplemental consolidated balance sheets of Andrew
Corporation (formed as a result of the consolidation of Andrew Corporation and
The Antenna Company) as of September 30, 1995 and 1994 and the related
supplemental consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1995.  The
supplemental consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the
merger of Andrew Corporation and The Antenna Company, on March 15, 1996, which
has been accounted for using the pooling of interests method as described in
the notes to the supplemental consolidated financial statements.  These
supplemental financial statements are the responsibility of the management of
Andrew Corporation.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
supplemental financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those stanadards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reaonable 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 financial statements.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by 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 supplemental financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Andrew
Corporation at September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
September 30, 1995 after giving retroactive effect to the merger of The Antenna
Company, as described in the notes to the supplemental consolidated financial
statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and
its majority-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

Cash equivalents
The company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The carrying amount of cash
equivalents approximates fair value due to the relative short-term maturity of
these investments.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Inventories stated under
the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method represent 39% of total inventories in 1995
and 42% of total inventories in 1994.  The remaining inventories are valued on
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and the weighted average method.

If the FIFO method, which approximates current replacement cost, had been used
for all inventories, the total amount of inventories would have been increased
by $11,189,000 and $11,610,000 at September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization
The company provides for depreciation and amortization of property, plant and
equipment, all of which are recorded at cost, principally using accelerated
methods based on estimated useful lives of the assets for both financial
reporting and tax purposes.  Costs in excess of net assets of businesses
acquired are amortized on the straight-line basis over periods ranging from
10 to 40 years.

Investments in affiliates
Investments in affiliates are accounted for using the equity method, under
which the company's share of earnings or losses of these affiliates is
reflected in income as earned and dividends are credited against the investment
in affiliates when received.

Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized from sales, other than long-term contracts, when a product
is shipped or a service is performed.  Sales under long-term contracts
generally are recognized under the percentage of completion method and include
a portion of the earnings expected to be realized on the contract in the ratio
that costs incurred bear to estimated total costs.  Contracts in progress are
reviewed monthly, and sales and earnings are adjusted in current accounting
periods based on revisions in contract value and estimated costs at completion.
Estimated losses on contracts are provided when identified.

Foreign currency translation
The functional currency for the company's foreign operations is predominantly
the applicable local currency.  Accounts of foreign operations are translated
into US dollars using year-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and
average monthly exchange rates for revenue and expense accounts.  Adjustments
resulting from translation are included as a seperate component of stockholders'
equity.  Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are
included in determining net income.
<PAGE>
Income taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the
amounts of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes
and such amounts recognized for tax purposes.  In accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
these deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws.  In
years prior to fiscal 1994, deferred taxes were accounted for in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 11.

Net income per share
Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during each year after giving effect to stock options considered
to be dilutive common stock equivalents.  Fully diluted net income per share is
not materially different from primary earnings per share.

Accounting changes
The company adopted SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities" during the first quarter of fiscal year 1995.  During the
first quarter of 1994, the company adopted SFAS No. 106 "Employers' Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes" and SFAS No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits".  The adoption of these statements did not have a material effect on
the company's financial statements.
<PAGE>
Investments in Affiliates
The company's investments in affiliates represent 40 to 50 percent interests in
several start-up network telecommunications joint ventures located in Russia and
Ukraine.  The combined operating results of the ventures and the company's share
thereof were not material to the company's 1995, 1994 and 1993 operating
results.


Unbilled Receivables
At September 30, 1995, unbilled receivables of $11,750,000 are included in
accounts receivable, compared to $14,207,000 at September 30, 1994.  These
amounts will be billed in accordance with contract terms and delivery schedules
and are generally expected to be collected within one year.


Profit Sharing Plans
Most employees of Andrew Corporation and its subsidiaries participate in various
retirement plans, principally defined contribution profit sharing plans. The
amounts charged to earnings for these plans in 1995, 1994, and 1993 were
$11,696,000, $11,027,000, and $7,025,000 respectively.
<PAGE>
Borrowings
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lines of Credit
The Company maintains a $50 million revolving line of credit agreement with
Bank of America, Illinois and a $5 million line of credit agreement with
LaSalle National Bank. The maximum outstanding during 1995 under the LaSalle
line of credit was $3.3 million with a weighted average interest rate of 8.75%.
There were no amounts outstanding under the Bank of America, Illinois line of
credit at September 30, 1995.
<TABLE>
Long-term Debt
Long-term debt at September 30 consisted of the following:

Under the terms of the loan agreements, the company has agreed to maintain
certain levels of working capital and net worth.  The loan agreements further
provide restrictions on dividend payments.  At September 30, 1995, all these
requirements have been met.

The principal amounts of long-term debt maturing after September 30, 1995 are:

In Thousands    1996    1997     1998     1999      2000      Thereafter

Cash payments for interest on all borrowings were $5,339,000, $5,307,000 and
$5,398,000 in 1995,1994 and 1993, respectively.

The carrying amount of long-term debt as of September 30, 1995 approximates
fair value.  The fair value was determined by discounting the future cash
outflows based upon the current market rates for instruments with a similar risk
and term to maturity.

The tax effects of temporary differences have given rise to gross deferred tax
assets of $7,402,000, primarily accrued expenses and inventory, and gross
deferred tax liabilities of $5,781,000, primarily depreciation, as of September
30, 1995.  The company has not recorded a valuation allowance for deferred tax
assets, because the existing net deductible temporary differences will reverse
during periods in which the company expects to generate taxable income.

No provision has been made for income taxes of approximately $4,584,000 at
September 30, 1995, which would be payable should undistributed net income of
$75,329,000 of subsidiaries located outside the United States be distributed
as dividends, since any tax resulting from such a distribution could be
substantially offset by resulting tax credits.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each outstanding common share has attached to it a one Share Purchase Right
which, until exercisable, cannot be transferred apart from the company's Common
Stock. The Rights will only become exercisable if a person or group acquires 27%
or more of the company's Common Stock or announces an offer to acquire 30% or
more of the company's Common Stock. In the event the Rights become exercisable,
each Right may entitle the holder to purchase Common Stock of either the
surviving or acquired company at one-half its market price.

The company currently maintains a long-term Management Incentive Program which
provides for the issuance of up to 6,075,000 common shares in the form of stock
options and awards and the awarding of performance units payable in cash or
stock to key officers and other employees.  Substantially all options granted
under this plan become fully exercisable at the end of a four-year period and
expire five years after grant.

The company also maintains a Stock Option Plan for non-employee Directors that
provides for the issuance of up to 675,000 common shares.  Options issued under
this plan vest over a five-year period and expire ten years after grant.

Information on options for the last three years ended September 30 is as
follows:

Selected Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to variability of shipments under large contracts, customers' seasonal
installation considerations, variations in product mix and in profitability of
individual orders, the company can experience wide quarterly fluctuations in net
sales and income. Consequently, it is more meaningful to focus on annual rather
than quarterly results.

common stock for all the outstanding stock of the privately held The Antenna
Company.
