                         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating results for the three month period ended March 31,
1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending September 30, 1996.  For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1995.

NOTE B--STOCK SPLIT

On February 7, 1996, the company's Board of Directors declared a three-for-two
stock split to stockholders of record on February 21, 1996, payable March 6,
1996.  All share and per share amounts have been restated for all periods
presented to reflect the stock split.

NOTE C--ACQUISITION

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.  Andrew exchanged 1,541,564 shares of its common stock
for all of the outstanding stock of the privately held The Antenna Company.

In compliance with the accounting for a pooling of interests Andrew has restated
all current and prior period financial information to reflect the results from
operations of The Antenna Company.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                 AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 increased $19.4 million, or 12%
compared to the same period last year.  On a year-to-date basis, net sales were
$361.1 million, an increase of $45.6 million or 14% compared to last year.  The
international wireless and broadcast markets, along with the recent acquisition
of The Antenna Company, contributed to the sales growth in the quarter, which
offset the continued softness in network products and domestic cellular markets.
The Antenna Company added $11.2 million in sales revenue for the quarter and
$25.1 million for the year.

Cost of products sold as a percentage of sales remained relatively stable for
both the three months ended and the six months ended March 31, 1996 compared to
the same period last year.

Sales and administrative expenses decreased $1.3 million or 4% for the quarter
and remained relatively unchanged on a year-to-date basis when compared to last
year.  Research and development expenses increased $1.7 million or 28% for the
quarter and $3.2 million or 26% for the year.  This increase is the result of
new projects aimed at the development of new products within the commercial and
government segments.

Other expense decreased $.2 million or 10% for the quarter and $.5 million or
21% for the six months ended March 31, 1996 when compared to the same period
last year.  Decreased foreign exchange losses and a reduction in the company's
share of the Russian joint venture losses partially offset the one time charge
of $1.5 million related to the acquisition of The Antenna Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Increased inventory and growth in accounts receivable partially offset the
increased cash flows from net income and non-cash expenses, resulting in net
cash from operations of $26.3 million.  The increase in inventory is primarily
due to the company's increased investment in personal communication systems and
other businesses.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $23.4 million for the six months
ended March 31, 1996.  During the first quarter of fiscal 1996 the company
purchased a 51% interest in two Brazilian manufacturing companies: Mapra
Industria e Comercio Ltda. and Gerbo Telecomunicaoes e Servicos Ltda. for $14.6
million net of cash received.  Capital expenditures increased $6.8 million or
34% for the six months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period last
year.  The company's increased investment in manufacturing equipment and
expansion of domestic manufacturing facilities contributed to the increase.

Net cash used in financing activities increased $9.1 million for the six months
ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period last year.  The company
liquidated The Antenna Company's short-term debt of $5.0 million upon
completion of the acquisition.
