                               ANTEC CORPORATION

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



COMPARISON OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

         Net Sales.  Net sales for the first three months of 1996 were $162.4
million as compared to $158.8 million for the first three months of 1995, an
increase of 2.2%.  This increase includes international sales growth partially
offset by continued softness in the domestic cable TV market.

         Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the first three months of 1996 was
$37.8 million as compared to $40.9 million for the first three months of 1995,
a decrease of 7.6%.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the first
three months of 1996 was 23.3% as compared to 25.8% for the first three months
of 1995.  The first quarter of 1995 results were favorably impacted by
additional service fees received in that quarter.

        Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses.  SG&A expenses for
the first three months of 1996 were $28.4 million remaining flat compared to 
$28.4 million for the first three months of 1995.

         Interest Expense and Other, Net.  Interest expense and other, net was
$2.7 million in the first three months of 1996 as compared to $2.9 million in
the first three months of 1995.  This decrease primarily relates to decreased
debt levels resulting from an improved working capital position.

         Net Income.  Net income was $2.6 million for the first three months of
1996 as compared to $4.4 million for the first three months of 1995.  This
decrease was due to the factors described above.  Net income plus goodwill
amortization was $3.8 million in the first three months of 1996 in comparison
to $5.6 million in the first three months of 1995.

FINANCIAL LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of March 31, 1996, the Company had a balance of $105 million
outstanding under its credit facility.  At March 31, 1996, the Company had
approximately $53 million of available borrowings under its credit facility.
The average interest rate on these borrowings was 7.5% at March 31, 1996.  The
commitment fee on unused borrowings is approximately 1/4 of 1%.

                               ANTEC CORPORATION

                    MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CON T.)



         The Company s capital expenditures were $1.6 million and $4.9 million
in the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 1996.

         As of March 31, 1996, approximately $4 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.  Reflecting sales fluctuations, the
investment in accounts receivable increased (decreased) approximately ($2.1)
million and $11.2 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The Company has
generally been able to adjust inventory levels according to anticipated
business activity.  1996 inventory levels decreased in the first quarter
resulting from the Company s continued efforts to control inventory levels.
Reflecting an anticipated increase in sales, investment in inventory increased
significantly in the three months ended March 31, 1995.

CASH FLOW

         Cash flows provided (used) by operating activities were $13.7 million
and ($9.6) million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.   1996 reflects the Company s improved working capital position
resulting from its continued effort to control inventory.  1995 reflects an
increase in working capital investments required to support the increased sales
activity.

         Cash flows used by investing activities were $2.0 million and $4.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Both
periods include the impact of planned sales and warehouse improvements.

         Cash flows provided (used) by financial activities were ($10.1)
million and $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Both periods reflect their respective trends in working capital
investments.
