                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To the Employee Benefit Committee of the
Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.
Voluntary Employee Retirement
and Investment Plan and Trust:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the
Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. Voluntary Employee Retirement and Investment Plan and
Trust as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes
in net assets for the years then ended.  These financial statements and the
schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the plan'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 net assets of the Plan as of December 31, 1993 and
1992, and the changes in its net assets for the years then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules listed
in the table of contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis
and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.  The Fund Information in the statements of changes in net
assets is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present
the changes in net assets of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and Fund
Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES
                           DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1992                   

          -----------------------------------------------------------


1.   PLAN DESCRIPTION:

     Effective January 1, 1986, Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. (the "Company")
     established the Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. Voluntary Employee Retirement and
     Investment Plan and Trust (the "Plan").  The Plan is subject to the
     provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
     ("ERISA").

     A description of the Plan provisions has been published in a summary Plan
     description available to all participants and beneficiaries.

     The following six investment funds have been established by the Plan for
     investing participants' contributions.  All investment elections are
     participant directed.  Participants may change their investment elections
     daily.  The Plan has specific guidelines and limitations as to the type of
     securities eligible for investment by each fund.

              The Money Market Fund (Fidelity Retirement Money Market
              Portfolio) - This is a fixed income fund invested in short-term
              securities with the objective of current income that is designed
              to provide investors with a return that reflects current
              short-term money market rates.

              The Bond Fund (Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund) - This is a fixed
              income fund invested in U.S. Treasury bonds or other government
              bonds, and corporate bonds with a fixed interest rate.

              The Equity Mutual Fund (Fidelity Equity-Income Fund) - This is a
              fund containing a variety of corporate securities, with more
              investment risk than the Bond Fund and Money Market Fund, with
              the objective of both current income and capital appreciation.

              The Equity Index Fund (Fidelity U.S. Equity Index Portfolio) -
              This is a fund that invests primarily in the common stocks of the
              500 companies included in the S&P 500 Index.  The objective is
              for both current income and long-term capital appreciation.

              Long-Term Capital Appreciation Fund (Fidelity Magellan Fund) -
              This fund is invested in securities of large United States and
              foreign corporations as well as smaller, lesser known companies
              with the objective of long-term capital appreciation.  This fund
              offers more overall investment risks than the other funds
              currently offered under the Plan.

              Scientific-Atlanta Common Stock Fund, (S-A Common Stock Fund).
              This fund is invested primarily in Scientific-Atlanta common
              stock with the balance in short-term money market investments.
              The objective of this fund is to give employees the opportunity
              to become shareholders of the Company and to share in the
              Company's performance.  Employees have the option to redirect the
              Company's matching contribution, which is made only to this fund,
              to the other Fidelity funds.

       Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
       right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
       terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.

       Although the Plan has received a favorable determination letter dated
       July 1, 1993 from the Internal Revenue Service, it has not been updated
       for the latest Plan amendments.  However, the Plan Administrator and
       management believe that the Plan was designed and operated in compliance
       with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
       Therefore, they believe that the Plan was qualified and the related
       trust was tax-exempt through the year ended December 31, 1993.

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

       The financial statements are prepared on an accrual basis in accordance
       with generally accepted accounting principles.

       Gains and losses on investment transactions are determined for
       accounting purposes as of the settlement date on a moving average cost
       basis.  Investments are stated at market value (based on quoted market
       prices) in the accompanying Statements of Net Assets.

3.     PARTICIPATION:

       Employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan if they
       (a) are a regular full-time employee or a regular part-time employee
       scheduled to work at least 20 hours a week, and (b) are at least 18
       years of age.  Eligibility begins in the calendar quarter following
       employment.  This eligibility requirement complies with the provisions
       of ERISA.

       Participants may contribute to the Plan an amount ranging from 1/2% to
       15% of their annual compensation as reported on Internal Revenue Service
       Form W-2.

       Individual accounts are maintained for each of the Plan's participants
       to reflect the participant's share of the Plan's income, the Company's
       contribution, and the participant's contribution.  Allocations are based
       on participant account balances, as defined.

       The amount contributed to the Plan by the Company on behalf of a
       participant is equal to $1.00 for each dollar contributed by the
       participant up to 3% of the participant's annual compensation plus $.50
       for each dollar of the participant's contribution between 3% and 6% of
       the participant's annual compensation.  In addition, for any Plan year,
       the Company's contribution on behalf of the participant to this Plan
       shall not exceed 4.5% of the participant's annual compensation for such
       Plan year. The Company's matching contributions to the Plan are in the
       form of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. common stock only at the end of each
       quarter. Vesting is immediate for both the participant's contribution
       and the Company's matching contribution.

       Prior to October 1, 1993, the amount contributed to the Plan by the
       Company on behalf of a participant was equal to $.50 for each $1.00 of
       the participant's contributions up to 5% of the participant's annual
       compensation.  For any plan year, the Company's combined contribution on
       behalf of the participant to this Plan and the Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.
       Stock Purchase Plan could not exceed 2.5% of the participant's annual
       compensation for such Plan year.  The Company's matching contributions
       to the Plan were in the form of the Company's common stock, cash, or a
       combination of both.

4.     TRUST AGREEMENT:

       At December 31, 1993, the Plan's assets were held by the Trustee of the
       Plan, Fidelity Management Trust Company; Wachovia Bank of North Carolina
       was the Trustee of the Plan for the period through June 30, 1993.
       Company contributions are held and managed by the Trustee, which invests
       cash received, interest, and dividend income and makes distributions to
       participants.  Certain administrative functions are performed by
       officers or employees of the Company or its subsidiaries and they act as
       the Plan Administrator.  No such officer or employee receives
       compensation from the Plan.  Administrative expenses such as trustee
       fees are paid by the Plan.
