       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1.  Financial Information: 

The unaudited financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the statements
contained herein.  Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1995
financial statements to conform to the 1996 presentation. 


2.  Basis of Presentation: 

These financial statements are presented in accordance with the
requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently may not include all
disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting
principles or those normally reflected in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K.  Accordingly, the financial statements and notes herein
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related
notes in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 1995.

3.  Subsequent Event: 

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 pursuant to a Merger Agreement entered into on
March 11, 1996.  Steinbrecher supplies wideband base station products
for digital cellular and wireless data applications.  Effective April
19, 1996, Steinbrecher's name was changed to "Tellabs Wireless, Inc."
("Tellabs Wireless") which will operate within the Tellabs Wireless
Systems division, a division of Tellabs International, Inc.  The Company
intends to continue the Tellabs Wireless business and to coordinate the
development and marketing of its products with those of the Tellabs
Wireless Systems division.

The consideration paid for the purchase of all of the outstanding shares
of Steinbrecher was approximately $76 million in cash and was determined
through arms-length negotiations.  The purchase price was paid with $40
million obtained through a bank loan from Bank of America and the remainder
from the Company's existing cash and cash equivalent balances.

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first quarter of 1996, the Company's cash, cash equivalents
and marketable securities portfolio increased $13,297,000 to an all-time
high of $175,533,000.  The Company's record first quarter earnings of
$31,127,000 were the primary contributor, partially offset by payments
of $11,486,000 to reduce accrued liabilities.  Accrued liabilities
decreased from the December 29, 1995 balance due primarily to payments
made during the first quarter for year-end obligations related to
employee compensation programs. 

The Company invested the cash provided by operating activities in higher
yielding marketable securities and in property, plant, and equipment.
Investments in property, plant, and equipment (net of disposals and
translation adjustments) totalled approximately $9,400,000.  Additions
were made to increase manufacturing capacity at the Company's Texas
facility, with a 41,000 square foot addition and accompanying equipment,
along with worldwide investments in research and development equipment. 

The Company currently expects total capital expenditures for 1996 to be
approximately $50,000,000.  This amount includes approximately
$10,000,000 of the $33,000,000 planned for the expansion of the
Company's Bolingbrook, Illinois manufacturing and research and
development facility.  Construction of the addition is expected to begin
in the second quarter of 1996 with completion scheduled for mid-1997.
The remaining 1996 expenditures are expected to be for manufacturing
capacity and research and development equipment in Finland and Texas. 

Net working capital at March 29, 1996 was $295,591,000, compared with
working capital of $267,806,000 at December 29, 1995.  The Company's
current ratio at the end of the first quarter was 4.6 to 1.  This
increase in working capital was primarily due to the cash generated by
operating activities offset by payments of year end accruals.
Management believes that the existing level of working capital will be
adequate for the Company's liquidity needs related to normal operations
both currently and in the foreseeable future.  On April 17, 1996, the
Company obtained bank financing of $40,000,000 to finance a portion of
the acquisition of Steinbrecher and associated expenses.  The Company
believes that sufficient resources continue to be available to support
the Company's growth either through currently available cash, through
cash generated from future operations, or through additional short-term
or long-term financing. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

Sales for the first quarter of 1996 were a record $172,256,000, up 21.1
percent from the previous first quarter record of $142,212,000 set in
1995.  Sales growth during the first quarter of 1996 was driven
primarily by a 66 percent increase in sales of the SONET-based TITAN
(a registered trademark of Tellabs Operations, Inc.) 5500 digital
cross-connect system.  Martis DXX (a trademark of Martis Oy) system
sales reached an all time quarterly high. 

Net earnings for the first quarter of 1996 were $31,127,000, up 35.7
percent from $22,941,000 a year earlier.  Earnings per share for the

                                       -7-
current quarter were 34 cents compared with 25 cents for the first
quarter of 1995.  The 1995 earnings per share amount has been restated
to give effect to the two-for-one stock split effective May 19, 1995. 

The increase in earnings for the first quarter of 1996 was primarily the
result of the aforementioned sales growth, a decrease in operating
expenses as a percentage of sales, and an increas in the gross profit
margin.  Total operating expenses of $55,826,000 for the first quarter
of 1996 were 32.4 percent of sales compared to $48,123,000, or 33.8
percent of sales, for the same period in 1995.  Increased headcount and
the related expenses necessary to support and service domestic and
international products were the primary reasons for this increase in
operating expenses.  The increase in gross profit margin from 55.7
percent for the first quarter of 1995 to 56.8 percent in the first
quarter of 1996 was realized through continued efficiencies in
manufacturing operations and sales of higher margin products, as volumes 
increased.

Interest income contributed $1,975,000 to pre-tax income in the first
quarter of 1996, up 75.4 percent from $1,126,000 in the first quarter of
1995.  This increase was due to significantly higher average cash
balances and higher market interest rates.  Interest expense was $28,000
for the first quarter of 1996 compared to $31,000 for the first quarter
of 1995.  Interest expense for the remainder of 1996 will increase due
to the increase in outstanding debt during the second quarter to
support the acquisition of Steinbrecher. 

Other non-operating income was $572,000 for the first quarter of 1996
compared to $70,000 for the first quarter of 1995.  Foreign exchange
gains of $411,000 were the primary contributor to 1996's first quarter
other non-operating income.  The foreign exchange gains were the
result of the weakness of the Finnish markka against the Swedish krona
and the U.S.  dollar.  Other non-operating income for the first quarter
of 1995 was primarily the result of a gain on the sale of stock held as
a long-term investment being partially offset by foreign exchange
losses. 

The effective tax rate was approximately 30 percent for the first
quarter of 1996 and 29 percent for the first quarter of 1995.  The
increase in the effective tax rate for 1996 is reflective of the
increase in TITAN 5500 system sales to the domestic market, where the
tax rate is significantly higher than at our Ireland and Finland
subsidiaries.  The 1996 effective tax rate reflects adjustments from the
Federal statutory rate primarily attributable to foreign tax rate
benefits.

Cause, (ii) such employment terminates by reason of the holder's

holder and such portion shall be cancelled by the Company.









     (b)  Other Termination.  If the Company terminates the

employment of the holder of a Bonus Stock Award for any reason

other than Cause or Disability, or if a holder of a Bonus Stock

Award voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company as a

result of a Constructive Discharge, the portion of such award

which is not otherwise vested shall vest without regard to such

termination, and be payable within 30 days of such termination,

in accordance with Section 2.2(c).



2.4  Registration.  The Company will use its best commercial

efforts to cause the shares of Common Stock subject to Bonus

Stock Awards to be registered on Form S-8 under the Securities

Act of 1933, as amended, on or before the first anniversary of

the Closing Date.  No such registration shall be required to the

extent the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel,

that such registration is not required for a holder of a Bonus

Stock Award to transfer vested shares of Common Stock issued to

such holder hereunder free of the transfer restrictions of the

Securities Act of 1933, as amended.



                          III.  GENERAL



3.1  Amendments.  The Board may amend this Plan as it shall deem

advisable, provided, however, that no amendment shall be made if

such amendment would increase or decrease the maximum number of

shares of Common Stock available under this Plan (subject to







Section 3.3).  No amendment may impair the rights of a holder of

an outstanding award whether vested or unvested without the

consent of such holder.



3.2  Tax Withholding.  The Company shall have the right to

require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any shares of

Common Stock or the making of any other payment pursuant to an

award made hereunder, payment by the holder of such award of any

Federal, state, local or other taxes which may be required to be

withheld or paid in connection with such award.  The Committee

may allow shares of Common Stock to be delivered or withheld

having an aggregate Fair Market Value not in excess of the

minimum amount required to be withheld, and in such event, any

fraction of a share of Common Stock which would be required to

satisfy such an obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining

amount due shall be paid in cash by the holder.



3.3  Adjustment.  In the event of any stock split, stock

dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger,

consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation,

spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or

any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than a regular

cash dividend, the number and class of securities available under

this Plan, the number and class of securities subject to each

outstanding Bonus Stock Award, and/or the asset issuable or

payable upon the vesting thereof shall be adjusted or modified

accordingly, as determined by the Committee.  The decision of the







Committee regarding any such adjustment or modification shall be

final, binding and conclusive.  If any such adjustment or

modification would result in a fractional security being subject

to an award under this Plan, the Company shall pay the holder of

such award, in connection with the first vesting of such award,

in whole or in part, occurring after such adjustment or

modification, an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the

fraction of such security (rounded to the nearest hundredth) by

(ii) the Fair Market Value on the vesting date.



3.4  No Assignment.  It is a condition of this Plan, and the

rights of all holders of Bonus Stock Awards shall be subject

thereto, that no right or interest of any such holder shall be

assignable or transferable in whole or in part, either directly

or by operation of law or otherwise, including, but not by way of

limitation, execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or

bankruptcy, and no right or interest of any such holder under

this Plan shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation of

any such holder, including claims for alimony or the support of

any spouse.



3.5  No Right of Employment.  Neither this Plan nor any award

made hereunder shall confer upon any person any right to

continued employment by the Company, any Subsidiary or any

affiliate of the Company or affect in any manner the right of the

Company, any Subsidiary or any affiliate of the Company to









terminate the employment of any person at any time without

liability hereunder.



3.6  Rights as Stockholder.  No person shall have any right as a

stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common

Stock or other equity security of the Company which is subject to

an award hereunder unless and until such person becomes a

stockholder of record with respect to such shares of Common Stock

or equity security.  The Company's obligation to deliver shares

of Common Stock pursuant to this Plan shall be unfunded, and the

Company shall not be obligated to set aside any of its assets for

the purpose of satisfying its obligations hereunder.  The claims

of holders of Bonus Stock Awards shall be solely those of an

unsecured creditor of the Company.



3.7  Governing Law.  The corporate law of the State of Delaware

shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the

Company and the holders of Bonus Stock Awards with respect to

this Plan, the Bonus Stock Awards and Bonus Stock issuable under

the Plan.  The law of the State of Illinois, except its law with

respect to choice of law, shall be controlling in all other

matters relating to the Plan.



3.8  Effective Date.  This Plan shall become effective on the

Closing Date.
