common stock in Cabletel and ARC International Corporation, respectively, for
an aggregate sales price of approximately $12.4 million.  The Company recorded

NOTE 3. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On October 28, 1996, ANTEC Corporation and TSX Corporation executed a
definitive agreement whereby a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company will
merge into TSX Corporation.  Under the terms of the transaction, TSX
Corporation shareholders will receive 1.00 share of ANTEC Corporation stock for
each share of TSX Corporation stock that they own.  It is contemplated that the
transaction will be tax-free for TSX Corporation shareholders and will be
accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Both companies' boards of directors
have approved the transaction and, subject to shareholder approval and
satisfaction of other conditions, the transaction is anticipated to close in
early 1997.

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



COMPARISON OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE AND THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
AND 1995

     Net Sales.  Net sales for the nine and three month periods ended September
30, 1996 were $483.1 million and $158.0 million, respectively, compared to
$489.7 million and $165.5 million for the same periods in 1995.  1996 sales
reflect international sales growth offset by continued softness in the domestic
cable TV market.

     Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the nine and three month periods ended
September 30, 1996 was $115.2 million and $39.1 million, respectively, compared
to $117.2 million and $38.6 million for the same periods in 1995.  Gross profit
as a percentage of net sales for the nine and three month periods ended
September 30, 1996 was 23.8% and 24.8%, respectively, compared to 23.9% and
23.3% for the same periods in 1995.  The improved gross profit percentage for
the three month period ended September 30, 1996 is a result of product mix,
notably an increase in ANTEC manufactured product sales.

     Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses.  SG&A expenses for
the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1996 were $85.2 million
and $28.4 million, respectively, compared to $90.7 million and $31.7 million
for the same periods in 1995.  This represents decreases of 6.0% and 10.4% for
the nine and three month periods, respectively.  These reductions primarily
reflect the impact of ANTEC's reorganized structure.

     Non-recurring Items.  In the third quarter of 1995, a $21.7 million pretax
non-recurring charge was recorded resulting principally from the Company's
decision to accelerate the integration and consolidation of its 1994
engineering and manufacturing acquisitions and the streamlining of its
distribution business by merging two divisions.  The one-time charge includes
the cost of employee separations, facility consolidations and closings, and the
writedown to net realizable value of inventory in discontinued product lines.
As of September 30, 1996, approximately $3 million of the Company's 1995
non-recurring charge had yet to be utilized.  It is currently anticipated that
the remaining balance will be expended by the end of 1996, except for amounts
related to long-term property lease commitments.

     Interest Expense and Other, Net.  Interest expense and other, net for the
nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1996 was $7.0 million and $2.0
million, respectively, compared to $8.4 million and $2.7 million for the same
periods in 1995.  These decreases primarily relate to decreased debt levels
resulting from an improved working capital position, driven largely by a
significant reduction in inventory levels and, to a lesser extent, a lower
average interest rate under the Company's credit facility.

             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CON'T.)



     Gain on Sale of Canadian Business.  In the third quarter of 1996, the
Company sold its Canadian distribution business to Cabletel Communications
Corporation ("Cabletel") for approximately $6.0 million in cash and notes, as
well as 1,450,000 and 500,000 shares of common stock in Cabletel and ARC
International Corporation, respectively, for an aggregate sales price of
approximately $12.4 million.  The Company recorded a pretax gain of
approximately $3.8 million in connection with the sale.  The Canadian
distribution business was immaterial to the Company's consolidated results of
operations and financial position.

     Net Income.  Net income for the nine and three month periods ended
September 30, 1996 was $11.7 million and $6.1 million, respectively, compared
to net loss of $6.5 million and $11.9 million for the same periods in 1995.
These increases are due to the factors described above.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CON'T.)



FINANCIAL LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of September 30, 1996, the Company had a balance of $107.0 million
outstanding and had approximately $58 million of available borrowings under its
credit facility.  The average interest rate on these borrowings was 6.5% at
September 30, 1996.  The commitment fee on unused borrowings is approximately
1/4 of 1%.


     The Company's capital expenditures were $5.4 million and $11.7 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  1995 capital
expenditures consisted primarily of planned sales office and warehouse
improvements and expansion.  The Company has no significant commitments for
capital expenditures at September 30, 1996.

     As of September 30, 1996, approximately $3 million of the Company's 1995
non-recurring charge had yet to be utilized.  It is currently anticipated that
the remaining balance will be expended by the end of 1996, except for amounts
related to long-term property lease commitments.

     The Company's primary need for capital is to fund working capital
requirements, primarily accounts receivable and inventory.  The accounts
receivable component of working capital tends to fluctuate closely with the
overall volume of sales activity.  The Company has generally been able to
adjust inventory levels according to anticipated business activity.  Reflecting
sales fluctuations, the investment in accounts receivable and inventory
(decreased) increased approximately ($8.2) million and $25.9 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

CASH FLOW

     Cash flows provided (used) by operating activities were $9.6 million and
($4.7) million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.   1996 reflects the Company's improved operating results and its
continued effort to control inventory.  1995 reflects increased investment in
accounts receivables resulting from increased sales activity.

     Cash flows used by investing activities were $0.9 million and $14.5
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
1996 includes $3.0 million in cash received from the sale of the Canadian
distribution business.  1995 includes the impact of planned sales and warehouse
improvements.

     Cash flows (used) provided by financing activities were ($7.9) million and
$21.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Both periods reflect their respective operating results and
investing activities.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     In October 1996, Tele-Communications, Inc. ("TCI") announced that it was
temporarily ceasing to accept shipments of traditional cable television
products while continuing to accept shipments of digital set top and cable
telephony products.  ANTEC's near-term financial results will be adversely
affected by this development.  Whether this action by TCI is merely a temporary
inventory and capital expenditure control measure or a significant change in
direction is not known.
