                  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 available for plan
benefits of the SCIENTIFIC-ATLANTA, INC. VOLUNTARY EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT AND
INVESTMENT PLAN AND TRUST as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related
statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year
ended December 31, 1994.  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 available for plan benefits of the
Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. Voluntary Employee Retirement and Investment Plan and
Trust as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in its net assets
available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1994, 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 statement of changes in net assets available
for plan benefits 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.

         VOLUNTARY EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT AND INVESTMENT PLAN AND TRUST
                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES
                          DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993

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

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, 1994.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

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

      Realized 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 Available for Plan
      Benefits.

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 immediately upon employment provided the
      above age and service requirements are met.  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 and are made 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, 1994, the Plan's assets were held by the Trustee of the
      Plan, Fidelity Management Trust Company.  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.
