On April 17, 1996, Tellabs Operations, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of Tellabs, Inc.  (the "Company") acquired all of the outstanding shares
of Steinbrecher Corporation ("Steinbrecher"), located in Burlington,
Massachusetts from Steinbrecher's stockholders pursuant to a Merger
Agreement ("Agreement") dated as of March 11, 1996.  Steinbrecher
supplies wideband base station products for digital cellular and

                    Report of Independent Auditors



The Board of Directors and Stockholders 
Steinbrecher Corporation


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Steinbrecher
Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 1995, and the related
statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders' equity for the
nine months ended December 31, 1995.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company'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 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 financial position of Steinbrecher
Corporation as of December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

  Steinbrecher Corporation  
  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
  December 31, 1995

  A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: 

     Business Operations  

     Steinbrecher Corporation (the "Company") operates in a single
     business segment and is engaged in the design, development,
     manufacture and sale of wireless communication systems and
     subsystems. 

     Reporting Dates  

     The Company changed its fiscal year end for financial reporting and
     tax purposes to December 31, effective for the nine month period
     ended December 31, 1995. 

     Revenue Recognition 

     Revenue earned from sales of products or services is recognized as
     products are shipped and services are rendered.  Revenue earned
     under long-term contracts is recognized under the
     percentage-of-completion method of accounting.  The Company's
     method for determining the extent of progress toward completion is
     based on the ratio of incurred contract costs to date as they
     relate to estimated total contract costs after giving effect to the
     most recent estimates of cost at completion and achievement of
     contract milestones. 

     Cash and Cash Equivalents 

     Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, money market accounts
     and commercial paper with original maturities of 90 days or less.
     The Company invests cash in conservative, highly rated investments
     and monitors the amount of credit exposure to any one institution. 
      
     Inventories  
      
     Inventories are stated at the lower of aggregate cost  (determined
     on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. 

     Property and Equipment 
      
     Property and equipment is stated at cost.  The Company provides for
     depreciation based upon expected useful lives using principally the
     straight-line method for financial reporting and accelerated
     methods for income tax reporting purposes.   




                                   9 






     Estimated useful lives are as follows: 

          Production and engineering equipment    1-5 years 
          Computer hardware & software              3 years 
          Furniture & fixtures                      5 years  
          Office equipment                          5 years 
          Demonstration equipment                 1-3 years  
          Leasehold improvements                  Lesser of the lease or
                                                  estimated useful life

     Demonstration equipment represents equipment used by the Company to
     facilitate the marketing and selling process. 

     When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset costs
     and related allowances for depreciation are eliminated from the
     accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. 

     Product Warranty Costs  
      
     The company warrants its products for various lengths of time which
     range between three and thirty months.  Anticipated costs related
     to the warranties are charged to cost of revenues at time of
     shipment. 

     Income Taxes  

     The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standards No.  109.  Tax provisions and
     credits are recorded at statutory rates for taxable items included
     in the statements of operations regardless of the period in which
     such items are reported for income tax purposes.  Deferred income
     taxes are recognized for temporary differences between financial
     statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and net
     operating loss carryforwards and tax credits for which income tax
     benefits are expected to be realized in future years. 

     Research and Development Costs 

     Company-funded research and development costs are expensed as
     incurred.  Customer-funded research and development costs are
     included in costs of contracts.   

     Use of Estimates

     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 revenues and expenses during the reporting
     period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
     However, management believes any difference between actual results

                                   10 







     and these estimates would not have a material effect on the
     financial condition of the Company. 

     Accounting for Stock-based compensation 

     During October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
     issued Statement No.  123 ("SFAS 123") which establishes a fair
     value based method of accounting for stock based compensation
     plans.  While the Company is studying the impact of the
     pronouncement, it continues to account for employee stock options
     under APB Opinion No.  25, Accounting for Stock issued to
     Employees.  SFAS 123 will be effective for the Company for its 1996
     fiscal year.

     Included in production and engineering equipment and demonstration
     equipment is internally produced equipment that is used by the
     Company for development, production and demonstration purposes.
     This equipment has an estimated useful life of one year.  The net
     book value of these assets is $123,500 at December 31, 1995. 
   
     In December 1995, the Company financed various assets included in
     property and equipment under a sale/leaseback arrangement.  The
     property and equipment was sold for $2,500,000.  A gain of $822,169
     which was realized on the transaction is deferred and recorded as
     an offset to the aggregate cost of property and equipment.  The
     deferred gain will be amortized against future depreciation expense
     on the financed assets over the 5 year lease term.  Under the lease
     arrangement, the financed items are included in property and
     equipment at an aggregate cost of $2,686,237, representing the
     present value of the minimum lease payments using the Company's
     incremental borrowing rate of 12% at the time of the financing.

     Included in the cost of property and equipment at December 31, 1995
     is approximately $2,894,277 of assets which are financed under

                                   12








  G. Debt and Capitalized Lease Obligations:

     On October 23, 1995, the Company entered into an $8,000,000
     working capital line of credit agreement with a commercial bank.
     The line of credit expires on November 30, 1996.  Unless notice is
     given by either party, the agreement will automatically and
     continuously renew for successive additional terms of one year
     each.  The interest payable on any outstanding balance is the
     greater of 9% or the highest London Interbank Offered Rate
     ("LIBOR") in effect throughout each calendar month, plus 5.375% per
     annum (11.315% at December 31, 1995).  Under the agreement, the
     Company is obligated to pay a minimum interest charge of $5,000
     each month, regardless of the amount of outstanding obligations.  
     At December 31, 1995, $1,260,089 was outstanding under this line of
     credit.  Borrowings are determined under a formula which includes
     accounts receivable and inventory and are collateralized by all of
     the Company's assets. 

     On October 30, 1995, the Company entered into a master lease
     agreement allowing the Company to lease up to $4,000,000 in
     property and equipment.  In conjunction with the execution of the
     master lease agreement, the Company issued to the lender a warrant
     to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
     $8.00 per share (See Note H).  On November 30, 1995, the Company
     executed sale/leaseback transactions under the master lease
     agreement, whereby the Company received proceeds totaling
     $2,500,000 for the sale of certain property and equipment.  Under
     the arrangement, the Company is required to make 48 monthly lease
     payments.  At the end of the 48 month term, the Company has an
     option to buy the equipment at its then fair market value.  In the
     event that the Company elects not to exercise the buyout option,
     the lease will automatically renew for an additional 12 months.  In
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the
     Company recorded the assets and lease obligations at $2,686,237,
     which represents the present value of future lease payments using
     an incremental borrowing rate of 12%.  A gain of $822,169 realized
     on the transaction is deferred and is being amortized over the
     expected 60 month lease term.  At December 31, 1995, $2,650,842 was
     outstanding under the lease arrangement. 

     During the year ended March 31, 1994, the Company entered into a
     master lease agreement allowing the Company to lease up to
     $1,000,000 in fixed assets.  During the year ended March 31, 1995,
     the Company executed a lease under the master lease agreement for
     $513,747, with principal and interest payable over 48 months at a
     fixed interest rate of 10.20% and executed a second lease under the
     master lease agreement for $339,024 with principal and interest
     payable over 48 months at a fixed interest rate of 11.43%.  At
     December 31, 1995, $582,852 was outstanding under these agreements.
     The Company was in violation of its equity, leverage, asset
     coverage and other financial covenants at and for, the nine months
     ended December 31, 1995.  Consequently, at December 31, 1995,
      
                                   13








     $375,023 of the outstanding obligation under this agreement, that
     otherwise would have been classified as long-term has been
     classified as current. 

     Additionally, the Company has financed certain office and
     production equipment under two separate lease agreements.
     Outstanding principal and interest are payable over 60 months at
     interest rates of 7.74% and 13.89%.  At December 31, 1995, $114,823
     was outstanding. 

     Future minimum lease payments for capitalized lease obligations at
     December 31, 1995, are as follows:

                                         ===========

     On March 5, 1993, the Company sold a $1,000,000 8 1/2% Subordinated
     Note ("the Note") due in 16 equal quarterly installments commencing
     June 30, 1996 and ending March 31, 2000.  In conjunction with the
     issuance of the Note, the noteholder received a warrant to purchase
     238,095 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.10 per
     share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.  (See
     Note H) The Note is subordinated in right of payment to all senior
     indebtedness of the Company.  The Note Agreement specifies that the
     Company maintain an interest coverage ratio and certain other
     covenants.  The Company was in violation of its equity, leverage,
     asset coverage and other financial covenants and obtained waivers
     of these violations at and through the period ending December 31,
     1995.  Further, in February 1996, the Company and the lender agreed
     to modify the covenants.  The Company believes it will meet its
     covenants throughout 1996.

  H. Stockholders' Equity:

     Stock Options

     On September 19, 1994, the Board of Directors adopted and the
     shareholders approved the 1994 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan
     (the "1994 Stock Plan").  The 1994 Stock Plan, represents the
     successor equity incentive program to the 1988 Incentive stock
     option plan ("the 1988 plan") and the compensation contracts
     pursuant to which non-qualified options had been granted.  All
     outstanding stock options under the prior plans are incorporated
     into the 1994 Stock Plan but will continue to be governed under the
     terms and conditions of the specific instruments evidencing those
     options.  The exercise price of an incentive stock option cannot be
     less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of
     grant.  The Board of Directors authorized 2,500,000 shares of
     common stock to be reserved for issuance under the 1994 Stock Plan,
     of which, as of December 31, 1995, 285,499 shares had already been
     issued upon exercise of options granted under prior plans,
     1,160,747 shares were reserved for issuance under outstanding

     grants or share issuance.

     compensation contracts with certain employees pursuant to which the
     Company granted these employees non-qualified stock options.

     Dividends on each share of Series A, B, C and D preferred stock
     accrue cumulatively on a daily basis at the annual rate of $.21,
     $.101, $.105 and $.40, respectively, whether or not declared or

     earned ("Accruing Dividends").  Accruing Dividends in arrears for
     Series A, B, C and D preferred stock amounted to $5,321,473 at
     December 31, 1995.  Such dividends will not be payable should the
     preferred shares be converted into common stock. 

     Each share of Series A, B, C and D convertible preferred stock may
     be converted into common stock based upon a conversion formula
     which would result in the issuance of a total of 10,948,429
     shares of common stock.  The conversion formula is subject to
     adjustment upon the occurrence of certain conditions as stipulated
     in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation.  Conversion is at
     the option of the stockholder with mandatory conversion called for
     upon the closing of an initial public offering of the Company's
     common stock with gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000 at a per
     share sale price to the public of at least $12.00. 

     The holders of the Series A, B and C preferred stocks have
     liquidation rights of $4.20, $2.02 and $2.10 per share,
     respectively, plus unpaid Accruing Dividends (whether or not
     declared) and any other dividends declared but unpaid.  The holders

                                   17






     of the Series D preferred stock have liquidation rights of $8.00
     per share plus all dividends declared but unpaid.  At December 31,
     1995, the liquidation preferences for Series A, B, C, and D
     preferred stock amounted to: 

          Series A            $2,839,256
          Series B             2,968,717
          Series C             7,596,567

                             ============

     In addition, after payment of certain amounts to the holders of
     Common Stock, the holders of the Series A, B, and C preferred stock
     are entitled to participate with the holders of Common Stock on a
     converted-to-common basis as to the distribution of any remaining
     assets of the Company.   

     In the absence of mandatory conversion on or after February 2,
     1997, the Company is required to redeem from funds legally
     available for redemption all preferred shares submitted for
     redemption at a redemption price equal to $4.20 per share for
     Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $2.02 per share for Series B
     Convertible Preferred Stock, $2.10 per share for Series C
     Convertible Preferred Stock and $8.00 per share for Series D
     Convertible Preferred Stock, plus unpaid Accruing Dividends
     (whether or not declared) and any other dividends declared but
     unpaid.  Any preferred shares not redeemed because of a lack of
     legally available funds will remain outstanding until additional
     funds become legally available for redemption. 

     The preferred stockholders are entitled to elect a majority of
     directors to serve on the Company's Board of Directors.  In
     addition, the number of directors constituting the Board of
     Directors cannot be increased to a number greater then eight
     without approval of two-thirds of the then outstanding preferred
     stockholders.  Otherwise, in general, the preferred stockholders
     have voting rights substantially equal to the rights of the common
     stockholders and special consent rights with respect to certain
     corporate transactions. 

     Stock Purchase Warrant  

     In March 1993, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 238,095
     shares of common stock to the holder of the Subordinated Note.  The
     warrant entitles its holder to the purchase of common stock for
     $2.10 per share (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances)
     and is execrable until March 31, 2000.  As of December 31, 1995,
     the warrant was not exercised.

     Deferred tax assets: 
     Expenses not currently deductible for tax        $1,516,543

                                                    =============

     A valuation allowance has been established to reflect the
     uncertainty of future taxable income to utilize available tax loss
     carryforwards, credits and deductible temporary differences. 

     Federal net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") at December 31,
     1995 total approximately $36,880,328 and will expire between 2003
     and 2010.  State NOLs at December 31, 1995 total approximately
     $33,982,167 and will expire between 1996 and 2000.  The
     availability of the federal and state NOLs is limited under the
     rules of Internal Revenue Code section 382. 

     Similar to the rules limiting the Company's use of its NOLs, the
     Company's annual use of its investment tax credit and research and
     development credit carryovers of approximately $245,400 and
     $1,950,500, respectively, is also limited.  These tax credit
     carryovers can be used to the extent of the Company's income tax
     liability on the unused NOL limitation amount.  These credits will
     expire between 1998 and 2009. 


                                   20  






  K. Salary Deferral Plan:

     The Company has a salary deferral plan, qualified as a tax
     deferral plan under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
     Substantially all of the employees of the Company are covered under
     the plan.  The Company contributes 50 cents for each dollar a
     participant contributes up to a maximum of 1% of a participant's
     wages, with the potential for additional discretionary
     contributions of up to 3% of a participant's wages in the event
     that certain Company financial objectives are met.  Company
     contributions approximated $42,000 for the nine months ended
     December 31, 1995.  Provisions of the plan include immediate
     vesting in Company matching contributions.  Benefits are payable
     upon hardship withdrawal, retirement, total disability or death.

     December 31, 1995, AT&T Wireless Services ("AT&T"), (formerly known
     as McCaw Cellular Communications, Inc.), is the parent company of

     INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
          BALANCE SHEET AND STATEMENT OF EARNINGS 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of
earnings and balance sheet give effect to the acquisition by the
Company pursuant to the Agreement.  The pro forma information is based
on the estimates and assumptions set forth below and in the notes to
such statements which include pro forma adjustments.

The acquisition is accounted for as a purchase transaction in the pro

are presented as of and for the nine months ended December 31, 1995 for
Steinbrecher and as of and for the year ended December 29, 1995 for the
Company.

The pro forma information has been prepared utilizing the historical
financial statements of the Company and Steinbrecher as described
above.  This information should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements and notes thereto.  The pro forma
financial data has been included as required by the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The pro forma

Tellabs, Inc. 
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 A.  The pro forma financial statments are provided as of and for the
     period ended December 29, 1995.  For purposes of the pro forma
     balance sheet, the purchase price of $76 million was allocated to
     the fair value of the net assets acquired (including identifiable
     intangible assets) and liabilities assumed as of December 29, 1995.
     Identifiable intangible assets were comprised principally of
     developed research and development, in-process research and
     development, and the deferred tax effect of the transaction.  In
     connection with the Company's practice, in-process research and
     development as well as its deferred tax effects (a net amount of
     approximately $54 million) were written off as reflected in the pro
     forma financial statements.  The net pro forma increase in other
     assets represents the remaining intangible assets.  As of the date
     of the merger (April 17, 1996), goodwill to be reflected in the
     purchase accounting transaction is estimated to amount to
     approximately $5.6 million.  The increase in goodwill is attributed
     to the net loss of Steinbrecher for the period from January 1, 1996
     through April 17, 1996.

 B.  The pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not
     purport to be indicative of the results which could have been
     obtained if the acquisition had been consummated on the date
     indicated or which may be obtained in the future.  Pro forma
     adjustments, consisting only of those deemed significant, are as
     follows:

     (1)  To record the use of cash and short-term borrowings to acquire
          the net assets of Steinbrecher Corporation and to record net
          assets at fair value.

     (2)  To write-off the in-process research and development costs
          capitalized as well as the associated deferred income tax
          benefit.

     (3)  To amortize intangible assets over an amortization period of
          10 years and to reflect the increase in interest expense and
          the related income tax effect due to short-term borrowings.

     (4)  To reduce the deferred tax valuation allowance for net
          operating loss carryforwards estimated to be utilized.
