NOTES:
(Amounts in thousands except share data).


         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 1995 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
                 29,1995 were computed based on the weighted average number of
                 shares of common stock outstanding.  Earnings per share for
                 the three and six months ended December 30, 1994, were
                 computed based on the weighted average number of shares
                 outstanding and equivalent shares derived from dilutive stock
                 options.  See Exhibit 11.

         C.      Inventories consist of the following:

         D.      During the quarter ended September 29, 1995, the company
                 decided to discontinue its defense-related businesses in San
                 Diego, California because these businesses are not aligned
                 with the company's core business strategies.  The company
                 anticipates that the sale of the net assets of the
                 defense-related businesses will be completed within one year.
                 A one-time charge of $12,172, net of a tax benefit of $5,728,
                 for the estimated loss on sale of discontinued operations was
                 recorded in the quarter ended September 29, 1995.  Sales and
                 losses from discontinued operations were as follows:

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         Scientific-Atlanta had stockholders' equity of $462.1 million and cash
on hand was $22.8 million at December 29, 1995.  Cash decreased $57.5 million
during the six months ended December 29, 1995 as expenditures for inventories,
equipment, expansion of manufacturing capacity and the repurchase of 1,010,000
shares of the company's common stock exceeded cash generated from earnings,
accounts receivable collections and short-term borrowings under a senior credit
facility.  The current ratio was 2.5:1 at December 29, 1995, compared to 2.2:1
at June 30, 1995.  At December 29, 1995, total debt was $12.2 million or less
than 3 percent of total capital invested.  Short-term debt consists of a $10.0
million borrowing under a senior credit facility and borrowings by the
company's international operations to support their working capital
requirements.  The company believes that funds generated from operations,
existing cash balances and its available senior credit facility will be
sufficient to support growth and planned expansion of manufacturing capacity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Sales for the quarter ended December 29, 1995 were $261.1 million,
down 3 percent from the prior year's sales of $269.7 million.  Sales for the
six months ended December 29, 1995 were $503.3 million, up 2 percent from the
prior year's sales of $494.7 million.  Higher sales volume of transmission
products, digital set-tops and Sega game adapters were offset by declines in
most Broadband product lines.  Sales of satellite systems were lower in the
quarter and six months ended December 29, 1995 as compared to the prior year
due to substantial completion of deliveries of equipment to Orbit
Communications Company for its direct to home satellite services in fiscal
1995.

         Sales in the three and six months ended December 29, 1995 were
negatively impacted by reduced levels of spending by domestic cable operators
and telephone companies.  The company believes that customer uncertainty over
the types of communications technology to be deployed in advanced networks, the
fact that many of the products to be utilized in these networks are still under
development by the industry and not yet ready for commercial production, and
delays in the passage of telecommunications reform legislation recently
enacted, were significant factors in the reduced spending.

         Gross margins of 25.9 percent and 25.6 percent for the three and six
months ended December 29, 1995 declined 1.5 and 3.0 percentage points,
respectively, from the prior year primarily as the result of unfavorable
exchange rate changes in Japanese yen.  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.  The company has forward exchange contracts to
purchase yen to hedge a portion of its exposure on purchase commitments for a
period of approximately one year.

         Research and development costs were up $3.8 million, or 19 percent,
and $7.5 million, or 19 percent, for the three and six months ended December
29, 1995, respectively, over the comparable periods of the prior year due to
increased research and development activity, particularly development of
digital products and cable telephony.  The company anticipates that spending
during the second half of fiscal 1996 will increase over the prior year at a
slightly lower rate than the first half of fiscal 1996.

         Selling and administrative expense increased approximately 4 percent
from the prior year.  Increased expenses reflect costs associated with ongoing
investments to support expansion into international markets and the
introduction of new products.

         Other expense for the three and six months ended December 29, 1995,
included net losses from foreign currency transactions and partnership
activities and net gains from rental income and other miscellaneous items.
There were no significant items in other income and expense in the first six
months of fiscal 1996.  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 30, 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.

<PAGE>   7

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

         Net earnings from continuing operations were $6.6 million for the
quarter ended December 29, 1995, down $8.9 million from the prior year.  Net
earnings for the six months ended December 29, 1995 was $10.7 million, down
$16.8 million from the prior year.  Net earnings in the quarter and for the
first half were negatively impacted by the exchange rate for the yen, higher
spending for research and development and investment in sales and marketing to
support the company's international growth.  The net loss of $2.5 million
for the first half of fiscal 1996 included a charge of $13.2 million, net of
tax, for losses related to discontinued operations and the estimated loss on
the sale of discontinued operations.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 6 of the Option Plan, as a result of stock splits
declared by the Corporation since the adoption of the Option Plan, the initial
option grant has increased to 30,000 shares and the annual option grant has
increased to 7,500 shares;

NOW, THEREFORE, Sections 4(b) and 4(c) of the Stock Option Plan are hereby
amended to read in their entirety as follows:

         (b)     INITIAL GRANT.  Each Non-Employee Director will receive an
                 initial grant of 20,000 shares upon approval by the Board of

         (c)     AUTOMATIC GRANTS.  An Option to Purchase 5,000 shares of
                 Common Stock shall be granted at the annual meeting of the

                 granted.

All other sections and provisions of the Option Plan shall remain in full force
and effect as written, without amendment.

1.       PURPOSE

         The purpose of this plan ("Plan") is to enhance the ability of
Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. ("Company") to attract and retain the service of
experienced, able and knowledgeable persons to serve as members of the
Company's board of directors ("Board") over a substantial period of years

desirable for the administration of the Plan.

3.       ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS

         Each person who is or becomes a member of the Board on or after the
effective date of this Plan and who has never been a participant in an employee
retirement plan of the Company shall be deemed a Participant in this Plan after
having been a member of the Board for thirty-six consecutive months.

4.       RETIREMENT DATES

         (a)     A Participant's "Normal Retirement Date" is the first day of

         If a Participant's age at the Early Retirement Date falls between any
two of these ages, these factors shall be adjusted by straight-line
interpolation.

         (c)     No retirement benefit will be payable to any person who is a
member of the Board for less than thirty-six (36) consecutive months.

6.       BENEFIT PAYMENTS

         A Participant may retire by written notice to the Plan Administrator
or the Secretary of the Company, designating a retirement date in accordance
with paragraph 4 above.  Retirement benefit payments will be payable on the
first day of each calendar quarter following retirement or in accordance with
such other schedule of payments as may be requested by the Participant and
approved by the Board.  Benefit payments will continue to be paid to the
Participant for the remainder of the Participant's life.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in lieu of the normal form of





                                    12 of 17
<PAGE>   3

payment otherwise provided under this Plan, the Plan Administrator may direct,
in its sole and absolute discretion, that benefits shall be paid in a single
sum that is the actuarial equivalent of the annual benefit payable to the
Participant or, in the event of the Participant's death, to his or her
surviving spouse.

7.       SPOUSAL BENEFITS

         Should a Participant die before retirement benefits have begun to be
paid to the Participant under this Plan, the Participant shall be deemed to
retire on the later of (i) the day before his/her death, or (ii) the first day
of the first calendar month thereafter in which the Participant would have
attained the age of fifty-five (55), and the Participant's surviving spouse, if
any, shall be entitled to a benefit equal to the benefit that would have been
paid to the Participant.  If the Participant dies after retirement benefits
have commenced, the Participant's surviving spouse shall be entitled to annual
benefit payments equal to the annual benefit previously payable to the
Participant.  In each case, the benefit shall continue for the lesser of (i)
ten years or (ii) a number of years equal to the number of years that the
Participant was a member of the Board; provided, however, that payments shall
not continue after the death of the spouse.

8.       DISABILITY

         Should a Participant become totally and permanently disabled prior to
retirement for a period of six (6) consecutive months while a member of the
Board and the Board determines that such disability will continue, the
Participant will be deemed to have retired on the first day of the calendar
month following the month in which the Board makes such determination and the
age of the Participant on such retirement date shall be deemed the older of (i)
fifty-five (55), or (ii) the Participant's actual age on that date.  Payments
will be made on the same basis as described in Sections 5, 6, and 7 above.

9.       CHANGE OF CONTROL

         Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, the
provisions of this paragraph 9 shall apply to any Participant whose membership
on the Board ends before a Change of Control occurs or who is a member of the
Board on the date that a Change of Control occurs and who ceases within
twenty-four (24) months after a Change of Control to be a member of the Board
for any reason.

         (a)     Each such Participant shall be immediately vested in his or
her retirement benefit payable under this Plan.

         (b)     The Company shall contribute to the trust maintained pursuant
to the Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. Benefits Protection Trust Agreement a lump sum
amount equal to the then-present value of the Participant's retirement benefit.
This lump sum payment to the trust shall be due on the later of (i) the date
when the Change of Control occurs or (ii) the date the Participant ceases to be





                                    13 of 17
<PAGE>   4

a member of the Board.  The retirement benefit of a Participant who ceases to
be a member of the Board within twenty-four (24) months after a Change of
Control shall be computed as if the Participant would retire on the first day
that he or she is eligible to retire (whether an Early Retirement Date or a
Normal Retirement Date)  following the Change of Control and the end of his or
her membership on the Board.  Any retirement benefits to which the Participant
is entitled under the terms of this Plan shall be payable from the trust,
except to the extent that the benefits are paid from the general assets of the
Company.

         (c)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of the form of payment
otherwise provided for in this paragraph 9, the Plan Administrator may direct,
in its sole and absolute discretion, that upon a Change of Control benefits
under this Plan shall be paid in a single lump sum that is the actuarial
equivalent of the annual benefits payable to the Participant or, in the event
of the Participant's death, to his or her surviving spouse.

         (d)     "Change of Control" means a change of twenty-five percent
(25%) or more of the membership of the Board (excluding membership changes
resulting from normal retirement of directors) within a twenty-four (24) month
period following the acquisition of beneficial ownership by any person or
entity, or group of persons or entities and their affiliates acting in concert,
of twenty percent (20%) or more of the voting securities of the Company.
"Affiliates" and "beneficial ownership" shall be defined in accordance with
Rules 12b-2 and 13d-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the same
may from time to time be amended.

10.      TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

         The Board may terminate the Plan at any time and may amend the Plan
from time to time but no such termination and amendment shall adversely affect
the rights of Participants under the Plan, which shall be deemed fully vested
and irrevocable on the date that a director becomes a Participant in accordance
with paragraph 3 above.

11.      EFFECTIVE DATE

         The effective date of this Plan is February 15, 1989.

Note:    In the three and six months ended December 29, 1995 the dilutive
         effect of equivalent shares derived from stock options was less than 3
         percent and therefore, the equivalent shares were not included in the
         computation of earnings per share.
