ITEM 1. BUSINESS



     ADC Telecommunications, Inc. designs, manufactures and markets a broad
range of transmission and networking systems and physical connectivity products
for broadband telecommunications networks utilizing copper, coax, fiber optic
and wireless transmission methods.  The Company markets its products worldwide
through its own direct sales force, as well as through distributors and original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The Company's products are designed for use in
the public telecommunications networks maintained by telephone operating
companies, interexchange carriers, other telecommunications common carriers and
broadcast and cable TV network providers, and for use in private
telecommunications networks maintained by large businesses, government agencies,
and educational and other non-profit institutions.
     The Company was incorporated in 1953 as a Minnesota corporation under the
name Magnetic Controls Company.  In 1961, Magnetic Controls Company was merged
with ADC Incorporated, a Minnesota corporation incorporated in 1935.  In 1984,
the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its magnetics operations. In
1985, Magnetic Controls Company changed its corporate name to ADC
Telecommunications, Inc. in order to better reflect the Company's commitment to
the telecommunications market and to identify the Company more closely with its
ADC trademark.
     In July 1989, ADC acquired Kentrox Industries, Inc. (Kentrox), located in
Portland, Oregon.  Kentrox designs, manufactures and markets public network
access equipment for private telecommunications networks and wireless
transmission products for public network providers.  In July 1990, ADC acquired
American Lightwave Systems, Inc. (ALS).  ALS, located in Meriden, Connecticut,
designs, manufactures and markets fiber optic video transmission equipment for
the telephone, cable TV, broadcast and government markets.  In May 1991, ADC
acquired Fibermux Corporation (Fibermux), located in Chatsworth, California.
Fibermux designs, manufactures, markets and installs enterprise-wide
communication systems for the interconnection and transport



<PAGE>

of Local Area Network (LAN) and other voice, data and video traffic, primarily
in private telecommunications networks.  As used in this report, the terms
"Company" and "ADC" refer to ADC Telecommunications, Inc. and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise, and 1994, 1993 and 1992
refer to the Company's fiscal years ended October 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS MARKET

     The largest market for the Company's broad range of telecommunications
products consists of companies providing service in the public
telecommunications networks and the OEMs which supply such companies.  The
Company's transmission and physical connectivity products for the public network
market are primarily located in central transmission facilities (i.e., telephone
company network central offices, cable TV company network supertrunks and
headend offices, and wireless network base stations, all of which contain the
equipment used in switching and transmitting incoming and outgoing circuits).
Increasingly, portions of the Company's public network transmission systems are
located in the public network outside plant facilities (outside the central
transmission buildings) and on customers' premises.
     Another market for the Company's products consists of rapidly growing
private voice, data and video telecommunications networks maintained by
businesses, government agencies, and educational and other non-profit
institutions.  The Company's customers in this market primarily include large
businesses and government agencies with their own communications networks and
the OEMs and Value Added Resellers (VARs) which supply such networks.  The
Company's products for private networks are located on the private network
customers' premises and consist of enterprise-wide communication systems and
public network access equipment.
     The market for the Company's products has grown in large part due to the
effects of three ongoing developments in the telecommunications industry. First,
rapid technological change has created a demand for new products employing
advanced technologies.  Second, the shift to data and video network traffic has
resulted in increasing demand for broadband, multimedia  networking capabilities
in both public and private networks.  Third, the policy of deregulation

                                        2



<PAGE>

being followed by the Federal Communications Commission and similar regulatory
agencies throughout the world has increased opportunities for independent
companies to supply products and services within public telephone system markets
and within private voice, data and video communications markets.
     The Company believes that for the foreseeable future technological change
will be the most important development in the continuing evolution of the
telecommunications market.  One important technological change in transmission
technology has been the introduction of fiber optic cable and electronics.  In a
fiber optic system, lasers transmit voice, data and video traffic in the form of
analog or digital coded light pulses through a glass fiber approximately the
size of a human hair.  Fiber optic systems are increasingly replacing existing
copper based transmission systems because of their capacity to carry large
volumes of information at high speeds, their insensitivity to electromagnetic
interference and the high transmission quality made possible by the physical
properties of light .
     A second important technological change in the telecommunications
marketplace is the use of integrated circuits and miniaturization, which has
facilitated the transfer of certain telecommunications functions from central
switching and transmission locations to locations closer to the business or
residential end-user.  In addition, because of the increased use of integrated
circuits in both public and private telecommunications, networks have become
significantly more complex.  Increasingly, high speed switching, network
performance monitoring, network management, information compression and data
translation functions are being performed by network equipment.
     A third important technological change over the past 10 to 15 years has
been the accelerating replacement of analog technology with digital technology
in transmission networks.  In analog technology, information is converted to a
voltage or current wave form for processing or transmission.  In digital
technology, information is converted to digital bits and then processed or
transmitted using computer based components.
     The Company believes that, over the long term, a significant portion of new
equipment purchased by public network providers and private network customers
will utilize fiber optic transmission technology.  The majority of such
equipment will employ digital technology and will


                                        3

<PAGE>


require increasingly sophisticated (i.e., software intensive) switching and
network management systems.


PRODUCTS


     The Company categorizes its products into the following groups:
     TRANSMISSION PRODUCTS:  Transmission products provide electronic and
optical signal generation over a telecommunications circuit.  Certain of the
transmission products also provide access in order to monitor, test and reroute
circuits within telecommunications transmission systems.  ADC's transmission
products are designed for use in copper-based,  coax-based, fiber optic or
wireless transmission networks.
     NETWORKING PRODUCTS:  Networking products provide interconnection and
transportation of voice, data and video signals within a single customer
building or campus as well as network access to the public network.  The
Company's networking products are designed for use in copper-based and fiber
optic networks.
     BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY PRODUCTS:  Broadband connectivity products provide
the physical contact points for connecting different telecommunications system
components and gaining access to telecommunications system circuits for the
purpose of installing, testing, monitoring or reconfiguring such circuits.  A
majority of the Company's broadband connectivity products are designed for use
in copper based transmission networks, with the remainder designed for use in
coax, fiber optic and wireless transmission networks.
     Historically, most of the Company's products have been used in connection
with copper-based telecommunications networks, reflecting the historical
installed base of equipment utilizing copper cable in domestic and international
telecommunications networks.  As a direct result of this large installed base,
the Company expects that, for the foreseeable future, a substantial portion of
its existing and new broadband connectivity products will be sold to maintain
and improve the functionality of copper-based telecommunications systems.
Although the Company expects to continue to allocate considerable resources to
improving existing products and developing new products for these systems, it
will also devote significant resources to the development of coax,

                                        4

<PAGE>


fiber optic and wireless products because the Company believes that such
products represent an increasing source of future growth of broadband
connectivity product revenues.
     The percentages of total consolidated net sales attributable to each of the
Company's product groups and to fiber optic products in total for the past three
fiscal years are set forth in Part II, Item 7 hereof.

respectively (approximately 10.9%, 11.2% and 11.4%, respectively, of
consolidated net sales).
     The Company's product development program emphasizes the innovative
application of existing technology in the design of new products rather than the
research and development of new technology.  The Company's product development
group works closely with marketing personnel in an effort to determine emerging
user needs in the telecommunications market and continually reviews and
evaluates technological changes affecting this market.

     The Company is currently conducting development efforts with respect to
technologies and products in each of its three product groups.  Among other
projects, the Company's development activities are directed at the integration
of fiber optic technology into additional products, the continuing development
of wireless microcell products and the incorporation of ATM technology into
voice, data and video products for both public and private telecommunications
networks.  The Company is also developing copper and fiber optic products for
applications in the local loop.

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION


     ADC sells its products to customers in three primary markets: (1) the
United States public telecommunications network market, (2) the private and
governmental voice, data and video network market in the United States, and (3)
the international public and private network market.
     Major providers of networks utilizing copper, coax, fiber optic and
wireless transmission methods in the public telecommunications market in the
United States include the Bell Operating Companies, other telephone companies
(such as GTE Corporation, Sprint/United Telephone Co. and Southern New England
Telecommunications Corporation), long-distance telephone companies (such as
American Telephone & Telegraph Co., MCI Telecommunications Corp., Sprint
Corporation and Wiltel, Inc.), cable TV companies (such as Cox Enterprises,
Inc., Continental Cablevision and Tele-Communications, Inc.), other emerging
telecommunication common carriers (such as MFS Communications Company and
Teleport Communications Group, Inc.), and major OEMs which service these same
customers (such as AT&T Technologies, Inc., Northern Telecom, Inc., Alcatel
Alsthom Compagnie Generale D'Electricite, NEC America, Inc., Fujitsu Limited and
Tellabs, Inc.).  The Company sells its products to most of the major providers
and OEMs.
     The private network market includes predominantly large businesses and
state and federal government agencies which own and operate their own voice and
data networks for internal use.  Major OEMs in this market include International
Business Machines Corporation (IBM), AT&T Paradyne Corporation, Digital
Equipment Corporation, Northern Telecom, Inc., Motorola Codex and The Racal
Corporation.

     The Company's products are sold in the United States by approximately 119
field sales representatives located in 26 sales offices throughout the country,
and by several dealer organizations and distributors.  The Company also has a
customer service group, which supports field sales personnel and is responsible
for application engineering, customer training, entering orders and supplying
delivery status information, and a field service engineering group, which
provides on-site service to customers.
     The Company also markets its products outside the U.S. primarily to
telephone operating companies and cable TV companies in the public
telecommunications networks of Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe, Australia,
New Zealand, Russia and the Asian region.  The Company sells its products to
foreign customers through 23 Company-employed field salespersons, eight foreign
independent sales representatives and 77 foreign distributors, as well as
through U.S. public and private network providers who also distribute outside
the U.S.  On October 31, 1994, the Company's foreign distribution network was
selling products in 60 nations throughout the world.  To date, the principal
foreign market for the Company's products has been Canada.  The Company has
wholly-owned subsidiaries in Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, the United Kingdom,
Belgium, Australia and Singapore.  The Company's foreign sales offices are
located in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Mexico City, Caracas, London,
Brussels, Sydney and Singapore.
     Consolidated export sales to unaffiliated customers for fiscal years 1994,
1993 and 1992 were $67,113,000, $58,919,000, and $49,347,000, respectively
(approximately 15.0%, 16.1% and 15.6%, respectively, of consolidated net sales).
     The Company warrants most of its products against defects in materials and
workmanship under normal use and service for periods of up to 15 years.  To
date, the Company's warranty experience has been favorable, with a low rate of
product return.

COMPETITION

     Competition in the telecommunications products market is intense.  The
Company manufactures, markets and sells products similar to those manufactured
by numerous other


                                       14


<PAGE>


companies, some of which, such as AT&T Technologies, Inc. and Switchcraft, Inc.,
a subsidiary of Raytheon Company, have greater resources than those available to
the Company.  The Company also faces increasing competition from a number of
other smaller competitors.  The Company believes its success in competing with
other manufacturers of telecommunications products depends primarily on its
engineering, manufacturing and marketing skills, the price, quality and
reliability of its products, and its delivery and service capabilities.
     The Company's Fibermux subsidiary competes with a number of other
companies, two of which are dominant in its intelligent wiring hub markets, and
faces both strong price competition and pressure from alternative distribution
strategies utilized by these other companies.  The Company's Kentrox and ALS
subsidiaries compete with a number of companies, none of which is dominant.
     The Company believes that technological change, the shift in network
traffic to data and video and continuing industry deregulation will continue to
cause rapid evolution in the competitive environment of the telecommunications
market, the full scope and nature of which is impossible to predict at this
time.  The Company believes the most significant competitive effect of
continuing industry deregulation has been, and will continue for the immediate
future to be, the creation of new opportunities for suppliers of
telecommunications products like the Company.  The Company expects, however,
that such opportunities will attract increased competition from others as well.
In addition, the Company expects that AT&T Technologies, Inc. will continue to
be a major supplier to the Bell Operating Companies, and is competing more
extensively outside the Bell system.  The Company also believes that the rapid
technological changes which characterize the telecommunications industry will
continue to make the markets in which the Company competes attractive to new
entrants.

MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIES

     The manufacturing process for the Company's electronic products consists
primarily of assembly and test of electronic systems built from fabricated
parts, printed circuit boards and electronic components.  The manufacturing
process for the Company's electromechanical products

                                       15

<PAGE>

consists primarily of fabrication of jacks, plugs, and other basic components
from raw materials, assembly of components and testing.  The Company's sheet
metal, plastic molding, stamping and machining capabilities permit the Company
to configure components to customer demand.
     The Company purchases raw materials and component parts, consisting
primarily of copper wire, optical fiber, steel, brass, nickel-steel alloys,
gold, plastics, printed circuit boards, solid state components, discrete
electronic components and similar items, from several suppliers.  Although a
number of components used by the Company are single-sourced, the Company has
experienced no significant difficulties to date in obtaining adequate quantities
of these raw materials and component parts.  The Company believes that
alternative sources of supply exist, or can be developed without causing
significant delays, for all of its raw materials and component parts.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

     The Company owns a number of United States and foreign patents relating to
its products.  These patents, in the aggregate, constitute a valuable asset of
the Company.  The Company, however, believes that its business is not dependent
upon any single patent or any group of related patents.
     The Company has registered the initials ADC alone and in conjunction with
specific designs as trademarks in the United States and various foreign
countries.

</TABLE>


     The 1994 and 1993 increases in net sales of transmission products are
attributable to sales of new products, primarily to public telecommunications
network providers.  If the Company's new transmission products (products
introduced within the last three years) and continuing transmission product
enhancements meet with reasonable market acceptance, the Company anticipates
that net sales of transmission products will grow as a percentage of the
Company's total net sales.
     The 1994 and 1993 increases in net sales of networking products primarily
represent increased sales of public network access equipment to private network
customers.  The Company has recently introduced certain new networking products
employing Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology and has additional ATM
networking introductions planned for  1995.  If these products meet with
reasonable market acceptance, Company management anticipates continued strong
growth for the networking product group.
     Within the broadband connectivity product group, net sales of ADC's digital
signaling cross-connect (DSX) modules and bays have declined as a percentage of
total net sales to 27.2% in 1994 from 28.7% in 1993 and 29.0% in 1992.  Although
these products currently account for a substantial portion of the Company's
revenues, management believes that future sales of DSX and other copper products
utilizing telephone jacks will continue gradually to decline as a percentage of
total net sales primarily due to the ongoing evolution of technologies within
the telecommunications marketplace (see Item 1 Business -- The
Telecommunications Market) and the addition of new products to the ADC product
portfolio.  As a result, the Company anticipates that net sales of the broadband
connectivity product group will continue gradually to decline as a percentage of
the Company's total net sales.

                                       24

     Net sales of fiber optic products represented 34.8%, 34.2% and 29.9% of
total net sales in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.  These year-to-year
increases reflect the Company's increasing emphasis on development and marketing
of fiber optic products.  Management anticipates increasing the Company's fiber
optic product offerings which should expand total sales of such products.

     GROSS PROFIT:  The 1994 decrease in gross profit percentage, to 50.7% of
net sales,  primarily reflects a less favorable product sales mix in 1994.  The
slight 1993  increase in gross profit percentage to 51.2% of net sales, from
51.0% of net sales in 1992 primarily reflects a more favorable product sales
mix, successful manufacturing cost reduction efforts and higher net sales
volumes in 1993.

     OPERATING EXPENSES:  Total operating expenses represented 36.4%, 37.4% and
39.7% of net sales in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.  The lower 1994 and
1993 levels primarily reflect effective cost controls, higher net sales levels
and the absence of the 1992 personnel reduction charge, which represented 1.2%
of net sales in that year.

     The 19.5% and 13.7% increases in development and product engineering
expenses in 1994 and 1993, respectively, also reflect significant investments in
new product development.  The Company has been able to maintain its development
and product engineering expenses as a relatively constant percentage of net
sales during the 1992 to 1994 period by planning for and controlling such
expenditures.

     The 18.7% and 12.5% increases in selling and administrative expenses in
1994 and 1993, respectively, also reflect increased marketing and selling
activities associated with new product introductions and expansion of markets,
and growth of the Company which has resulted in higher compensation expenses,
including increased incentive-based and stock-based compensation.  Due to
effective management of expenditures, the Company has decreased its ratio of
selling and administration expenses as a percentage of net sales over the three-
year period.


     Company management has reclassified amortization of goodwill expense from
"other expense" to "operating expenses" to conform with internal financial
performance measurement.  This expense represents amortization of the goodwill
portions of the Fibermux, Kentrox and ALS acquisition prices, beginning at their
respective acquisition dates.

     The major technological changes underway in the telecommunications industry
(see Item 1 Business -- The Telecommunications Market) will require the Company
to continue investing significantly in product development.  Company management
recognizes the need to balance the

                                       25

<PAGE>

cost of product development with expense control and remains committed to
minimizing the rate of increase of such expenses.

     OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET:  The interest income (expense) category
reflected net interest income earned on cash balances during 1994 and 1993 and
net interest expense during 1992.  (See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below
for a discussion of cash levels.)

     INCOME TAXES:  See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included
in Part II, Item 8 of this report for a reconciliation of the federal statutory
tax rate to effective tax rates of 37.0%, 36.4% and 39.5% in 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively.  In addition to the non-deductible goodwill amortization
amounts discussed above which impact all three years, the 1994 and 1993 rates
reflect a 1% higher federal statutory rate as well as the beneficial impact of
tax credits.  The 1994 increase in rate also reflects the lower impact of tax
credits on higher 1994 pre-tax income.



     Effective November 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."  SFAS No.
109 requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities or assets for the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and
tax bases of assets and liabilities.  SFAS No. 109 was adopted prospectively and
the cumulative impact of adoption was not material.

     EXTRAORDINARY ITEM:  The extraordinary charge of $1,450,000, net of income
taxes, or $.05 per share, recorded in the quarter ended January 31, 1994,
represents the charge to clean up and repair the damage from an earthquake at
the ADC Fibermux facility in California.

     NET INCOME:  As a result of all of the items discussed above, net income
for the year ended October 31, 1994 of $39,071,000, or $1.41 per share,
represented a 23.5% increase over net income for the year ended October 31, 1993
of $31,636,000, or $1.15 per share.  Net income for 1993 represented a 50.5%
increase from 1992 net income of $21,026,000, or $.78 per share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash and cash equivalents, primarily short-term investments in commercial
paper with maturities of less than 90 days, increased $33,188,000 during 1994
and decreased $4,160,000 and

                                       26

<PAGE>

$9,625,000 during 1993 and 1992, respectively.  The 1994 increase primarily
reflects increased cash provided from operating activities and the absence of
debt repayments, offset by the $7,087,000 first quarter 1994 contingent
acquisition payment for ALS.  ADC currently has no contingent acquisition
purchase price arrangements outstanding.  In 1993 and 1992, property and
equipment additions and long-term debt repayments, offset by cash generated from
operating activities, represented the majority of the decreases.  During the
three years ended October 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, property and equipment
additions net of retirements totaled $21,788,000, $21,243,000 and $15,780,000,
respectively.

     The Company may borrow up to $40 million under revolving credit agreements.
Borrowings under these agreements bear interest at floating short-term market
rates, can be repaid any time without penalty and can be converted to term loans
bearing interest principally at the prime rate, payable in annual installments
through December 2000.  In May 1991, the Company's acquisition of Fibermux was
partially financed by borrowing the total $40 million.  The full $40 million was
outstanding until April 1992, when the Company began repaying the debt.  All
debt was repaid by April 1993.  At October 31, 1994, the entire $40 million of
borrowings under these agreements was available to the Company and its long-term
debt to total capitalization ratio was .2%.  The long-term debt to total
capitalization ratio was .4% at October 31, 1993.

     Management expects that cash generated from operating activities plus
borrowings available under revolving credit agreements will be adequate to fund
operating requirements and property and equipment expenditures in 1995. However,
management recognizes the dynamic nature of the telecommunications industry and
the possibility that one or more of the Company's product initiatives may
achieve strong market acceptance during the year.  In such event, the Company
would consider appropriate financing alternatives.  Total property and equipment
additions for 1995 are expected to be approximately $30 million.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To ADC Telecommunications, Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ADC
TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES as of October 31, 1994 and 1993, and
the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' investment and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 1994.  These
financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility
of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and schedules 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 ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
and Subsidiaries as of October 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
October 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules to
consolidated financial statements are presented for purposes of complying with
the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic
consolidated financial statements.  These schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic consolidated financial
statements and, in our opinion, fairly state in all material respects the
financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
     Additions and improvements to property and equipment are capitalized at
     cost while maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to operations as
     incurred.

     Depreciation charges are computed using the straight-line method for
     financial reporting purposes and both straight-line and accelerated methods
     for income tax purposes. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is
     provided over the following estimated useful lives:

               Furniture and fixtures               3-10
</TABLE>

     GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES - The excess of the cost over the net assets
     of acquired businesses (goodwill of $77,000,000  at October 31, 1994 and
     1993) is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years.  Related
     accumulated amortization at October 31, 1994 and 1993 was $11,788,000 and
     $8,653,000, respectively.  Other intangibles are being amortized on a
     straight-line basis over 5 years.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS - The Company's policy is to expense all
     research and development costs in the period incurred.

     WARRANTY COSTS - The Company warrants most of its products against defects
     in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for periods
     extending to fifteen years.  Historically, warranty costs have been
     insignificant.  The Company maintains reserves for warranty costs based on
     this experience.

                                   (CONTINUED)


(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

     EARNINGS PER SHARE - Earnings per share is computed using the weighted
     average number of common shares outstanding during the year, after
     consideration of the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock
     awards.


     RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
     conform to the current year financial statement presentation.  These
     reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results of
     operations or stockholders' investment.

(2)  EXTRAORDINARY ITEM:

     The building that serves as headquarters for Fibermux Corporation
     (Fibermux), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, suffered damage as a
     result of the earthquake that struck Los Angeles on January 17, 1994.  The
     facility sustained damages of $2,300,000 (net of the related $850,000 tax
     benefit).  All operations resumed by February 8, 1994.

(3)  ACQUISITIONS:

     Effective May 6, 1991, the Company acquired Fibermux.  During the third
     quarter of 1990, the Company acquired technology and other assets of TELINQ
     Systems Incorporated and the stock of American Lightwave Systems, Inc.
     (ALS).  Payments related to these acquisitions through October 31, 1994
     totalled $74,050,000.

     These acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases.  Accordingly, the
     total purchase prices were allocated to the net assets acquired based on
     estimated fair values at the dates of the acquisitions.  The excess of
     cost over the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill.  The
     results of operations have been included in the Consolidated Statements of
     Income from the respective acquisition dates.  The inclusion of financial
     data for these acquisitions prior to the dates of acquisition would not
     have materially affected reported results.

(4)  DEBT:

     The Company has revolving credit agreements which permit borrowing up to
     $40,000,000 on an unsecured basis, principally at prevailing market rates
     of interest.  The agreements require, among other matters, that the Company
     meet certain defined net worth, interest coverage and liability to equity
     ratios, and restrict cash dividends.  The Company was in compliance with
     these covenants at October 31, 1994.  The Company pays commitment fees
     based upon the average unused amounts of the commitments.  There are no
     compensating balance requirements.

     In May 1991, the Company borrowed $40,000,000 under the revolving credit
     agreements to partially finance the acquisition of Fibermux.  The debt
     outstanding under such agreements was repaid during 1993 and 1992.  There
     was no outstanding debt under these agreements during 1994.  The weighted
     average annual interest rates during the period borrowings were outstanding
     were 4.9%, and 5.3% for 1993 and 1992, respectively.

     At October 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had a mortgage note payable of
     $810,000 and $1,100,000 respectively, collateralized by certain land,
     buildings and equipment. The note is payable in annual installments of
     approximately $400,000 through 1996 and bears interest at a rate of 7.55%.

(5)  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

     PENSION PLAN - The Company maintains a defined benefit plan covering a
     majority of its employees. The Company funds the plan in accordance with
     the requirements of Federal laws and regulations.  Plan assets consist of
     fixed income securities and a managed portfolio of equity securities.

     was 5% in 1994, 5% in 1993 and 6% in 1992.  The expected long-term rate of
     return on plan assets was 9%.

(5)  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED):

     The Company also maintains supplemental defined benefit retirement plans
     for members of the Board of Directors and for certain officers.  The cost
     of these plans was $352,000, $210,000 and  $257,000 for 1994, 1993 and
     1992, respectively.

     RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN - The Company has a voluntary plan of investment
     available to any employee who has completed one year of service. The
     Company contributes 1% of wages to the Retirement Savings Plan on behalf of
     all employees covered under the plan.  Based on Company performance, salary
     deferrals up to 6% of wages are partially matched by the Company.
     Employees are fully vested in salary deferrals and Company contributions at
     all times.  The contributions to this plan totalled $6,778,000,
     $3,210,000, and $2,639,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. A portion
     of the cash contributions is invested in the Company's stock by the Plan's
     trustee.

     STOCK AWARD PLANS - The Company maintains a Stock Incentive Plan which
     provides for the granting of certain stock awards, including stock options
     at fair market value and restricted shares, to key employees of the
     Company.

     The Company also maintains a Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan in
     order to enhance the ability to attract and retain the services of
     experienced and knowledgeable outside directors.  The plan provides for
     granting a maximum of 110,000 nonqualified stock options at fair
     market value.

     The Company issued shares of common stock to certain employees which are
     restricted as to their transferability through October 31, 1996.  The
     market value of such stock at the date of issuance is being amortized over
     the restricted period. The unamortized amount of the resulting deferred
     compensation is recorded as a reduction of stockholders' investment.  In
     addition, the Company awarded stock retention bonuses which provide for
     cash payments to offset the personal income taxes incurred upon the lapsing
     of stock restriction.  The compensation expense associated with this plan
     was $3,213,000, $1,938,000, and $1,008,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
     respectively.

(6)  CAPITAL STOCK:

     AUTHORIZED STOCK - The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of
     common stock at 20 cents par value and 10,000,000 shares of preferred
     stock, no par value. The Board of Directors has the power to determine the
     dividend, voting, conversion and redemption rights of each series of
     preferred stock which they may create.  There are no preferred shares
     issued.

     STOCK SPLIT - On May 26, 1993, the Company declared a two-for-one stock
     split effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend paid June 28, 1993 to
     shareholders of record as of June 15, 1993.  The share and per share
     information in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to
     reflect the effect of the dividend.

     SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN - The Company has a Shareholder Rights Plan which
     provides that if any person or group acquires 20% or more of the Company's
     common stock, each Right not owned by such person or group will entitle its
     holder to purchase, at the Right's then-current purchase price ($16 2/3 at
     October 31, 1994), common stock of the Company having a value of twice the
     Right's purchase price.  The Rights would not be triggered, however, if the
     acquisition of 20% or more of the Company's common stock is pursuant to a
     tender offer or exchange for all outstanding shares of the Company's common
     stock which is determined by the Board of Directors to be fair and in the
     best interests of the Company and its shareholders.  If the Board of
     Directors determines that a 10% shareholder's interest is likely to have an
     adverse effect on the long-term interests of the Company and its
     shareholders, the Rights may also become exercisable.  The Rights are
     redeemable at 1 2/3 cents any time prior to the time they become
     exercisable. The Rights will expire on October 6, 1996 if not previously
     redeemed or exercised.

(6)  INCOME TAXES:

     Effective November 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."   SFAS
     No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities or assets for
     the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
     book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 109 was adopted
     prospectively and the cumulative impact of adoption was not material.

     The components of the provision for income taxes are as follows:

</TABLE>


     The Company records a reduction in income taxes payable for qualifying tax
     credits in the year in which they occur.

     The benefit for deferred taxes is primarily due to timing differences in
     the tax deductibility of employee benefit plan costs, depreciation and
     certain accrued expenses and reserves which are not yet deductible for
     income tax purposes.

     The effective income tax rate differs from the Federal statutory rate as
     follows:

(7)  INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED):

     The Company's United States income tax returns for the years 1990 and 1991
     are currently under examination.  Management believes that adequate
     provision for income taxes has been made for all years through 1994.

     unasserted potential claims encountered in the normal course of business.

     a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of
     operations.

     CHANGE OF CONTROL - The Board of Directors has approved the extension of
     certain employee benefits, including salary continuation to key employees,
     in the event of a change of control of the Company.  The Board has retained
     the flexibility to cancel such provisions under certain circumstances.
