      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (UNAUDITED)



(1)   MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION:   In the opinion of  management,
the  accompanying unaudited interim financial statements  contain
all  adjustments  (consisting of only normal recurring  accruals)
necessary  to  present  fairly the  financial  position  and  the
results  of  operations for the interim periods. The  results  of
operations  for the interim period are not necessarily indicative
of results to be expected for the full year.

(2)         PRINCIPLES   OF  CONSOLIDATION:    The   consolidated
financial statements include the financial statements of American
Power  Conversion Corporation and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries.
All  significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

(3)   PER SHARE DATA:  Earnings per common share are based on the
weighted  average number of shares of common stock  and  dilutive
common stock options and warrants outstanding during each period.
Under  the  treasury stock method, the unexercised  options  were
assumed  to  be exercised at the beginning of the  period  or  at
issuance,  if  later.  The assumed proceeds  were  then  used  to
purchase  common  stock at the average market  price  during  the
period.  Common stock equivalents whose inclusion would have  the
effect  of  increasing earnings per share (i.e antidilutive)  are
excluded  from  the  computation.   Primary  and  fully   diluted
earnings per share are equivalent for all periods presented.

(4)   SHORT-TERM  INVESTMENTS:   Short-term  investments  consist
primarily of U.S. and State government and government agency debt
securities  with  fixed  rates  of  interest  and  have  original
maturities  greater  than three months.  The cost  of  short-term
investments  sold is determined using the specific identification
method.  Short-term investments are designated as  available  for
sale.

(5)   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:  Changes in paid-in capital  for  the
periods  presented  represent  the  issuances  of  common   stock
resulting from the exercise of employee stock options, as well as
the Company's contributions to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

      NET  SALES:  Net sales for the third quarter and the  first
nine months of 1995 increased 37% and 41%, respectively, compared
to  the  same  periods in 1994.  The increase is attributable  to
continued  strong  end-user  demand for  the  Company's  products
across  fast-growing core markets, including computer networking,
internetworking  equipment, client/server markets  and  point-of-
sale  devices,  as  well  as  what the  Company  believes  is  an
increasing  awareness by computer users of  the  consequences  of
data  loss  and  hardware damage which can  be  caused  by  power
problems.   The  revenue  growth is also attributable  to  strong
international sales which increased 59% over the third quarter of
1994, while third quarter domestic sales grew 28% over 1994.

     GROSS PROFIT:  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for
the  three-month  period ended September 30,  1995  decreased  to
41.7% from 51.1% for the same period last year.  Gross profit was
45.3%  and 51.3% of net sales for the nine month periods in  1995
and  1994,  respectively.   Gross profit  decline  was  
caused  by  on-going start-up costs and production inefficiencies
relating  to  the  establishment of manufacturing  operations  in
Galway,  Ireland, as well as additional freight  and  duty  costs
associated with the transportation of component materials to  the
Galway facility.  Gross margins for the third quarter of 1995 were
also  adversely  affected by product transition occurring  within
its Smart-UPS family of products as the Company has introduced  a
new   third  generation  Smart-UPS  product  line  replacing  the
existing second generation, which has been in place for the  past
five   years,  and  a  product  mix  shift  resulting   from   an
accelerating  growth rate on low-end, lower margin UPS  products.
The  Company  also  increased  its inventory  reserve  provisions
during  the third quarter in light of its inventories running  at
higher   than   historical  levels  and  the   on-going   product
transition.

      OPERATING  EXPENSES:  Operating expenses  include  Selling,
General and Administrative and Research and Development expenses.
SG&A expenses increased to 21.3% from 20.3% of net sales for  the
three month period ended September 30, 1995 compared to the  same
period  one year ago.  SG&A expenses were 21.8% and 20.7% of  net
sales  for  the first nine months of 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The  increases in SG&A expenses for the third quarter  and  first
nine  months  from  1994  to 1995 are attributable  to  increased
investment   in  short-term  and  long-term  market   development
activities,   including  the  hiring  of  additional   personnel
and   the implementation  of sales and marketing programs relating  
to  its newly-introduced UPS products.

Research  and  Development  expenses  decreased  slightly  as   a
percentage  of  sales for the third quarter (2.3% vs.  2.4%)  and
decreased  slightly as a percentage of sales for the  first  nine
months  (2.5% vs. 2.6%) of 1995.  Although the aggregate  dollar amount
of  R&D  expenses has increased from 1994 to 1995 for the periods
presented  as  a result of new product development and  continued
improvements  to existing products, the decrease as a  percentage
of  sales  for the nine month period is attributable  to  certain
fixed R&D expenses spread over a higher revenue base in 1995.

                                             SEPTEMBER 30, 1995


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED):

      OTHER  INCOME, EXPENSES:  Interest income decreased by  79%
and  35% for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
1995, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago.  The
decrease  is  attributable to the decrease in cash available  for
investment during the periods.  Interest expense incurred  during
the   third  quarter  of  1995  was  the  result  of  outstanding
borrowings against the available lines of credit.

      PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES:  For the 1995 and 1994  periods
presented,  the  Company's effective tax rate  was  approximately
33.5%  and  36%, respectively. The decrease in 1995 is  primarily
attributable  to  the  tax  savings derived  from  the  Company's
operations  in Ireland, a jurisdiction currently having  a  lower
income tax rate for manufacturing companies than the present U.S.
statutory income tax rate.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working  capital at September 30, 1995 was $207,908,215  compared
to  $160,612,284 at December 31, 1994.  The Company has been able
to  increase  its  working  capital position  as  the  result  of
continued  strong  operating results and  despite  financing  the
capital   investment   of  the  expansion  of   its   operations,
particularly  in  Ireland  (see  below),  and  the  build-up   of
inventories.  Inventory levels have been increased  in  order  to
support the growth in the Company's sales volume, as well  as  to
maintain  the  necessary carrying levels of  raw  materials,  in-
process  assemblies and finished stock as a result of  major  new
products  introduced during the past four quarters.  The  Company
anticipates its cash requirements for the foreseeable future will
be  satisfied by cash flow from operations, existing cash, short-
term  borrowings and, if needed, the proceeds from  the  sale  of
additional equity.

At  September 30, 1995, the Company had unsecured line of  credit
agreements  with  two banks aggregating $40 million  at  floating
rates  of  interest equal to the banks' prime rate.  The  Company
had  $8,370,000 outstanding under these facilities  at  September
30,  1995.   On  October  11,  1995, the  Company  increased  its
aggregate line of credit availability to $65 million.

Capital investment for the third quarter and first nine months of
1995 consisted primarily of manufacturing and office equipment to
support   increased   manufacturing,   selling,   marketing   and
administrative efforts needed to support the Company's growth.

The  Company has continued to expand its operations in the United
States,  particularly  in Rhode Island and Florida.  Construction
and  new capital equipment requirements for the expanding  United
States  operations are expected to be approximately $5.0  million
for  the  remainder of 1995 and will be financed  from  operating
cash  and,  if  needed, short-term borrowings.  The Company  also
continues  to  investigate additional domestic and  international

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

During  the first nine months of 1995, gross capital expenditures
for  the Galway operation were primarily for production equipment
and amounted to approximately $4.0 million.  Capital expenditures
for  Galway  for  the  remainder of  1995  are  projected  to  be
approximately  $1.5 million based upon anticipated  manufacturing
capacity requirements and future operational needs.  The  Company
receives  grant  monies equal to 40% of the  costs  incurred  for
machinery,  equipment  and building improvements  for  the  Irish
facility  under  an  agreement with  the  Industrial  Development
Authority  of  Ireland  ("IDA").  The maximum  amount  attainable
under  the  agreement is approximately $13.1  million,  of  which
approximately  $5.7  million of capital grant  claims  have  been
submitted  to  date.   The total amount of capital  grant  claims
submitted  during the first nine months of 1995 was approximately
$2.8  million.  In addition to the grant monies provided  by  the
Irish  government,  the remaining capital  expenditures  will  be
financed  with  cash generated from operations  and,  if  needed,
third party borrowings or the sale of additional equity.

Under  a  separate  agreement with  the  IDA,  the  Company  also
receives  up  to  $3,000 per new employee hired  for  the  direct
reimbursement  of training costs.  The total amount  of  training
grant  claims submitted during the first nine months of 1995  was
approximately $522,000.

On  November  2, 1995, the Company announced that it  will  begin
further  negotiations  with the IDA for financial  incentives  in
connection  with the possible future expansion of  the  Company's
manufacturing operations to additional sites within Ireland.

Management  believes  that current internal cash  flows  together
with on-hand cash, available credit facilities or, if needed, the
proceeds  from  the  sale  of  additional  equity  would  provide
sufficient  financing  support for anticipated  capital  spending
needs and other working capital requirements.

Foreign Currency Activity
During  the  fourth quarter of 1994, the Company began  invoicing
its  customers  in  Great Britain, France and  Germany  in  their
respective local currencies.  Realized and unrealized transaction
gains or losses are included in the results of operations and are
measured  based upon the effect of changes in exchange  rates  on
the  actual or expected amount of functional currency cash flows.
Transaction gains and losses were not material to the results  of
operations in the first nine months and third quarter of 1995.

The  Company  is  continually reviewing the manner  in  which  it
manages  its foreign exchange exposure and will consider  various
techniques including the netting of foreign currency receipts and
disbursements,  rate protection agreements with customers/vendors
and foreign exchange contracts.

Shareholder Lawsuits
During  the  first  two weeks of August 1995,  several  purported
class  action  lawsuits were filed in the United States  District
Court  for the District of Rhode Island in which the Company  was
named  as  a defendant, along with certain of its officers.   The
lawsuits relate to disclosures made by the Company in its  public
filings  and  press  releases and assert  violations  of  federal
securities  laws.   The  plaintiffs  seek  unspecified   damages,
interest,  costs and fees.  It is possible that other claims  may
be   made  against  the  Company  or  that  there  may  be  other
consequences.  The Company intends to  vigorously  defend
these  lawsuits  and  any similar lawsuits  that  may  be  filed;
however,  the  ultimate outcome of these matters  cannot  yet  be
determined.

No  provision  for  any liability that may result from the actions 
has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated condensed 
financial statements.

Mr. Donald Muir
Chief Financial Officer
American Power Conversion Corporation
132 Fairgrounds Road
West Kingston, Rhode Island 02892

Dear Don:

Reference is hereby made to the Loan Agreement (the
"Agreement") made as of December 30, 1991, by and between
Fleet National Bank (the "Bank") and American Power
Conversion Corporation (the "Borrower").  Reference is also
hereby made to the amendment letter made as of June 22, 1995
by and between the Bank and the Borrower (the "Amendment
Letter").  All terms defined therein shall be incorporated
by reference herein.

Whereas, Borrower desires to increase the existing unsecured
demand line of credit, with the Bank, from $25,000,000 to
$50,000,000; and

Whereas, the Bank is willing to reduce the rate of interest
charged on outstanding loans advanced pursuant to the
existing unsecured demand line of credit, as amended hereby, and

Whereas, the Bank is willing to make such a loan and rate
reduction to the Borrower subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement,

Now, therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it
is hereby agreed by and between the Bank and the Borrower as
follows:

($50,000,000) outstanding, (the "Credit Limit").

                      14
<PAGE>
Section 1.2 - The Note

The first sentence of Section 1.2 of the Loan Agreement, as
amended by the Amendment Letter, is amended in its entirety
to read as follows:

"The Line of Credit will be evidenced by that certain Line
of Credit Demand Note of Borrower in the principal amount of
Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) of even date herewith
(the "Note").

Section 1.4 (a) - Interest

The third paragraph of Section 1.4 (a) of the Loan
Agreement, as amended by the Amendment Letter, is amended in
its entirety to read as follows:

The "Cost of Funds Rate" means the rate of interest per
annum which is the sum of (i) the Bank's cost of funds for
periods of 7, 14, 30, 60, 90 or 180 days, as applicable, as
determined by the Bank, and in effect on the first day of
any period for which a Cost of Funds Rate is in effect and
(ii) 0.625%.

In addition, the second (2nd) sentence of Section 1.4(b) of
the Loan Agreement, as amended by the Amendment Letter, is
hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

If the Borrower elects the Cost of Funds Rate, the written
election shall specify a period of 7, 14, 30, 60, 90 or 180
days during which the Cost of Funds Rate shall be in effect
(the "applicable period").

The aforementioned amendment to Section 1.4 of the Loan
Agreement shall apply only to loans made after October 11,
1995.

The Line of Credit Demand Note

The Line of Credit Demand Note, as amended by the Amendment
Letter, shall be hereby amended such that all references to
a principal amount of Twenty-Five Million dollars
($25,000,000) are hereby amended to read as Fifty Million
Dollars ($50,000,000).

Except as modified hereby, the Borrower confirms, ratifies
and restates all of the representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements made and set  forth in the Loan
Agreement and the Line of Credit Demand Note and any and all
other documents executed in connection therewith.

In witness whereof, the parties hereto have caused this
amendment to the Loan Agreement to be executed as of the
date of this letter agreement.
