                 SPECTRAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The financial information for the nine months and three months ended
September 30, 1995, is unaudited but reflects all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary
for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods.  The results of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the entire year.

    The consolidated results for the nine months and three months ended
September 30, 1994, include the results of operations of the Company and its
two subsidiaries, SpecTran Specialty Optics Company and EBOT Acquisition Corp.,
from the date of acquisition, February 18, 1994, through September 30, 1994.
The consolidated results for the nine months and three months ended September
30, 1995, also include results of operations of Applied Photonic Devices, Inc.,
a wholly-owned subsidiary, from the date of its acquisition on May 23, 1995.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

    These financial statements supplement, and should be read in conjunction
with, the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December
31, 1994, as contained in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission.

3.  INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

    Income per share of common stock is based on the weighted average of the
number of shares outstanding during the periods, including common stock
equivalents of stock purchase warrants and stock options for both primary and
fully diluted earnings per share for the nine months and three months ended
September 30, 1995.   For the nine months and three months ended September 30,
1994, the stock purchase warrants and stock options have not been included in
the computations since the effect would be antidilutive.

4.  ACQUISITION

    On May 23, 1995, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock
of Applied Photonic Devices, Inc. (APD) for cash and stock totaling $4.4
million, including the retirement of approximately $614,000 of APD bank debt.
The results of APD are included in the consolidated financial statements from
May 23, 1995.

    Goodwill of $3,327,000 resulted from the purchase and is being amortized 
over 15 years.

5.  REORGANIZATION

    In October 1995 the Company reorganized its operations into three business
units:  SpecTran Communication Fiber Technologies, Inc., SpecTran Specialty
Optics Company, and Applied Photonic Devices, Inc.   SpecTran Communication
Fiber Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary,  consists of the Company's
original communication fiber operation located in Sturbridge, MA.   SpecTran
Specialty Optics Company and Applied Photonic Devices, Inc. are wholly-owned
subsidiaries formed as a result of SpecTran's acquisition of Ensign-Bickford

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1995 VERSUS 1994

    Net Sales

    Consolidated net sales for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1995, were $9,970,586 and $27,035,049, an increase of 62.5% and 45.7% from
each of the comparable periods in the prior year when net sales were $6,135,369
and $18,560,632, respectively.  Included in 1995 are revenues from Applied
Photonic Devices from the May 23, 1995, acquisition date.

    Sales volumes increased in both periods for both the Company's standard
datacommunication multimode fiber and single-mode optical fiber, with a
significant increase in single-mode optical fiber sales.  Market selling prices
have remained stable during 1995.  Compared to the three and nine month periods
of 1994, however, unit selling prices have declined in the comparable periods
of 1995, primarily in the single-mode product line.

    Sales continue to remain strong in the specialty product area for SpecTran
Specialty Optics Company and the sales generated by Applied Photonic Devices
for its first full quarter were as expected.

    Gross Profit

    SpecTran earned a consolidated gross profit of $3,359,437 and $9,094,493
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, which was
$2,092,621 (165.2%) and $3,662,843 (67.4%) higher than in the comparable
periods of the prior year, respectively. The gross margin, as a percentage of
sales, increased to 33.7% and 33.6% for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995, compared to 20.6% and 29.3% in the comparable periods of
the prior year, respectively.  Improved yields and increased production volumes
in the communication fiber product lines are the primary reasons for the 
improved gross profit margins in the 1995 periods.

    Royalty expenses was 1.9% and 4.2% of SpecTran's sales for the three and 
nine month periods, respectively, compared to 4.3% and 5.2% in the comparable 
periods of 1994.  The three month period of 1995 reflects a retroactive 
adjustment made in the third quarter.

    Selling and Administrative

    Consolidated selling and administrative expenses increased by $816,484
(47.6%) and $2,042,719 (43.9%) during the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995.  As a percentage of sales these expenses declined slightly
during 1995 to 25.4% and 24.8% compared to 28.0% and 25.1% for the comparable
three and nine month periods in 1994.  The selling and administrative expenses
in 1995 reflect a full nine months of expenses incurred by SpecTran Specialty
Optics Company compared with seven and a half months during 1994 and four
months of expenses incurred by Applied Photonic Devices, acquired in May 1995.
Increased expenditures in 1995 for

business development activities and market development of single-mode fiber 
also contributed to the increase.

    Research and Development

    Consolidated spending for internal research and development decreased in
the third quarter by $68,101 (9.0%) and increased by $742,630 (54.6%) for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1995, compared to the prior year three
and nine month periods.  As a percentage of sales, consolidated research and
development costs were 6.9% and 7.8% versus 12.4% and 7.3% for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The third quarter
of 1994 included increased spending levels related to the Company's single-mode
fiber product line.  The Company continues to invest in programs to improve
manufacturing cost and product performance in both the single-mode and
multimode product lines.

    Other Income (Expense), net

    Consolidated other income (expense) improved by $156,144 (a factor of 16)
and $1,906 (1.2%) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
compared with the 1994 comparable periods.  The third quarter of 1995 includes
other income of $274,586 primarily from non-recurring material recovery income.
Offsetting the income is decreased interest income of $18,787 and $8,817 for
the three and nine month periods of 1995 and increased interest expense of
$56,880 (46.1%) and $221,711(104.4%) for these same periods.  Interest expense
increased during the three and nine month periods of 1995 as a result of
increased debt levels associated with the acquisition of Applied Photonic
Devices.

    Net Income

    Net income for the three and nine months of 1995 was $178,837, or 1.8% of
net sales and $269,970, or 1.0% of net sales, respectively.  Net loss for the
same periods in 1994 was $720,374 and $265,025, respectively.  This was a
positive difference of $899,211 and $534,995 for the three and nine month
periods, respectively.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

    At September 30, 1995, the Company had net working capital of $15,907,658,
a current ratio of 4.7 to 1, and an aggregate of $954,558 in cash and cash
equivalents.  In addition, the Company had total marketable securities of
$5,020,983, which could be converted to cash if needed, including $1,129,102
classified as long-term.

    On May 23, 1995, the Company borrowed an additional $2,200,000 under its
existing bank loan agreement for the purchase of Applied Photonic Devices.  On
September 5, 1995, the Company borrowed an additional $900,000 for working
capital purposes.  The amount outstanding under this agreement at September 30,
1995, was $10.0 million.

    The Company expects but cannot assure that existing working capital and
cash flow from operations should be sufficient to meet the Company's cash needs
in 1995.
