     NOTES:


         A.      The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include
                 the  accounts of the company  and all subsidiaries after
                 elimination of  all material intercompany accounts and
                 transactions.  Certain information  and footnote disclosures
                 normally included  in financial statements prepared in
                 accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
                 been condensed or omitted pursuant to  the rules and
                 regulations of the  Securities and Exchange Commission.
                 These condensed financial statements should be read in
                 conjunction with the consolidated financial  statements and
                 related notes contained in the 1994 Form 10-K.  The financial
                 information presented in the accompanying statements  reflects
                 all  adjustments which  are,  in the  opinion  of  management,
                 necessary  for  a fair  presentation  of the  periods
                 indicated.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
                 nature.

         B.      Earnings per share for the  three and six months  ended
                 December 30, 1994, and December  31, 1993 has been  computed
                 based on  the  weighted average  number of  shares outstanding
                 and equivalent  shares derived  from dilutive  stock options.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         Scientific-Atlanta  had stockholders' equity  of $429.6  million and
cash  on hand was  $69.1 million  at December  30, 1994.  Cash decreased $54.3
million during the six months ended December 30, 1994,  as expenditures for
inventories, equipment and expansion of manufacturing  capacity, including the
construction  of a manufacturing facility  in Juarez, Mexico, exceeded  cash
generated from earnings.  The  current ratio of 2.5:1 at December 30, 1994, was
unchanged from July 1, 1994.  At December  30, 1994, total debt was $7.6
million  or  less than  2  percent  of total  capital  invested.   Short-term
debt  consists  of borrowings  by  the company's international operations to
support their working capital requirements.

         The  company is  in  the process  of securing  a  long-term debt
facility to  provide funds  to  supplement  those generated internally to
support growth and planned  expansion of manufacturing capacity.   The company
believes  it will use a  portion of the long-term debt facility prior to the
end of the fiscal year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Sales for the quarter ended  December 30, 1994, were $277.4  million,
up 56% from the prior  year's sales of  $178.0 million.  Sales for the six
months ended December 30, 1994,  were $509.7 million, up 46% over the
comparable period of  the prior year.  During the three  and six months  ended
December 30,  1994, strong growth  in sales of transmission  and addressable
converter  products and deliveries of satellite equipment to Orbit
Communications Company for its direct to home satellite services contributed to
the year- to-year increases  in sales.   Sales of  instrumentation products
continue to be  adversely affected  by spending reductions  in the defense
industry.

         Gross margins of 27.2 percent  and 28.5 percent for the three and  six
months ended December 30, 1994, respectively, declined 2.7 and 1.0 percentage
points from the comparable periods of the  prior year.  Gains from cost
improvements in satellite networks and increased volumes  in transmission and
addressable  converter products were offset  by unfavorable exchange rate
changes in Japanese yen,  production startup costs, product  mix and costs
associated with  capacity expansion.  The company  believes that gross margins
will be negatively  impacted in future periods by planned expansion of
manufacturing capacity  and the continued increase in sales of addressable
converter products  which have lower margins  than some of the company's  other
products.  Continued  strength of the yen would also adversely affect gross
margins.

         Certain material purchases  are denominated in Japanese yen  and,
accordingly, the purchase price in  U.S. dollars is subject to change based on
exchange rate  fluctuations.  Currently, the company has  forward exchange
contracts to purchase yen to hedge  its purchase commitments for a period of
approximately three months.

         Research  and development costs increased $5.7  million, or 40
percent, and $13.0  million, or 48  percent, for the three and six months
ended December 30,  1994, respectively,  over the  comparable periods of  the
prior  year due  to increased research  and development activity, particularly
development of  digital products.  The company anticipates that spending during
the second half of fiscal 1995 will continue to increase over the prior year at
approximately the same rate as the first half of fiscal 1995.

         Selling and administrative  expense increased 21 percent from  the
prior year.   Increased expenses reflect  costs associated with  ongoing
investments to  support expansion into international  markets, the introduction
of  new products and  a build-up in the infrastructure to handle the growth the
company is experiencing.

         Other  income of $1.2 million for the  quarter ended December  30,
1994, included net gains  of $0.6 million from partnership activities and  net
gains of  $0.6 million from foreign  currency transactions, rental  income and
other miscellaneous  items.  Other income  of $1.2  million for  the six
months ended  December 31,  1994, included  net gains  of $0.3  million from
foreign currency transactions, $0.3 million of rental

income and net gains of $0.6  million from royalty income,  partnership
activities and other miscellaneous  items.  Other expense  of $16.9 million for
the  six months ended December 31, 1993,  included a one-time charge of $17.5
million  related to the settlement of securities class action litigation and
rental income, gains from  the sale of certain assets, and other miscellenaous
items  of $0.6 million.  The litigation settlement was the only significant
item in other expense during the quarter ended December 31, 1993.

         The company's effective income tax rate was 32 percent for the quarter
unchanged from the prior year.

         Net earnings were $15.0 million and $27.1 million, respectively, for
the three and six months  ended December 30, 1994.  Net earnings,  before
including the effect of the  one-time charge for the legal settlement,
were $7.3 million and $14.5 million, respectively, for the comparable
periods of the prior year.   Higher sales volume was the primary factor in
the period-to-period increases.
