technology company, headquartered in Rolling Meadows, with major offices in
Atlanta and Denver.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company after elimination of intercompany transactions.  The
consolidated financial statements furnished herein reflect all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements for the periods shown.  As described more fully in Note 2, on
February 6, 1997, the merger between ANTEC Corporation, TSX Corporation and TSX
Acquisition Corporation became effective.  The consolidated financial
statements have been prepared following the pooling of interests method of
accounting and reflect the combined financial position, operating results and
cash flows of ANTEC Corporation and TSX Corporation as if they had been
combined for all periods presented.  Certain amounts have been reclassified for
the combined presentation.

NOTE 2. MERGER

        On February 6, 1997, shareholders of ANTEC Corporation and TSX
Corporation approved the Plan of Merger ("Merger") dated as of October 28, 1996
among ANTEC Corporation, TSX Corporation ("TSX") and TSX Acquisition
Corporation, and the Merger resulting in TSX becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary
of ANTEC became effective on that date.  Under the terms of the transaction, TSX
shareholders received one share of ANTEC common stock for each share of TSX
common stock that they owned, while ANTEC shareholders continued to own their
existing shares.  As a result of the Merger, ANTEC issued approximately 15.4
million shares of common stock.  The transaction was tax-free for TSX
shareholders and was accounted for as a pooling of interests.

        Prior to the combination, TSX's fiscal year ended April 30, and ANTEC's
fiscal year ended December 31.  TSX's historical financial statements for
periods prior to the December 31, 1996 had to be adjusted to within 93 days of
ANTEC's year-end.  Therefore, the statements of operations for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1996 represents ANTEC's fiscal period ended on
that date combined with TSX's three and six month periods ended the last
Saturday in April 1996, respectively.  All intercompany sales between TSX and
ANTEC were eliminated.  Operating results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996 were as follows:

NOTE 3. MERGER/INTEGRATION COSTS

        In the first quarter of 1997, in connection with the Merger discussed in
Note 2, the Company recorded merger/integration costs aggregating approximately
$28 million.  The components of the non-recurring charge included $6.9 million
related to the investment banking, legal, accounting and contractual change of
control payments associated with the Merger; $11.2 million related to facility
and operational consolidation and reorganization due to the combining of
various manufacturing operations; and $3.4 million related to severance costs
resulting from the elimination of positions duplicated by the Merger and
integration.  The personnel-related costs included charges related to the
termination of approximately 200 employees primarily resulting from the factors
described above.  Also included in the total merger/integration charge was a
write-off of redundant inventories relating to overlapping product lines and
product development efforts totaling approximately $6.5 million which has been
reflected in cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  As of
June 30, 1997, approximately $9 million of the charge had yet to be utilized.

NOTE 4. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

        In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share,
which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.  At that time, the
Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute
earnings per share and to restate all prior periods.  The impact of Statement
128 is not expected to be material.

                              ANTEC CORPORATION

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



COMPARISON OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND
1996

     Net Sales.  Net sales for the six and three month periods ended June 30,
1997 were $244.3 million and $124.3 million, respectively, compared to $371.9
million and $188.7 million for the same period in 1996.  This decrease
primarily reflects the ongoing reduction in capital spending by ANTEC's largest
customer, Tele-Communications, Inc. ("TCI") and the impact of the substantial
completion of a major Australian system build in 1996.

     Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the six and three month periods ended June
30, 1997 was $59.7 million and $33.6 million, respectively, compared to $93.8
million and $48.1 million for the same periods in 1996.  These decreases
reflect lower sales discussed above and, for the six month period ended June
30, 1997, a $6.5 million write-off of redundant inventories relating to
overlapping product lines and product development efforts in connection with
the Merger.  (See Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.)  Excluding the inventory charge, gross profit as a percentage of
net sales for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1997 was 27.1% and
27.0%, respectively, compared to 25.2% and 25.5% for the same periods in 1996.
The improved gross profit percentages for the six and three month periods ended
June 30, 1997 are 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 six and three month periods ended June 30, 1997 were $54.5 million and
$27.4 million, respectively, compared to $64.0 million and $31.9 million for
the same periods in 1996.  This represents decreases of 14.9% and 14.0% for the
six and three month periods, respectively.  These reductions reflect ongoing
expense controls and savings resulting from the Merger.

     Merger/Integration Costs.  In the first quarter of 1997, the Company
recorded merger/integration costs aggregating approximately $28 million.  The
non-recurring charge included investment banking, legal, accounting and
contractual change of control payments associated with the Merger; facility and
operational consolidation and reorganization costs due to the combining of
various manufacturing operations; and severance costs resulting from the
elimination of positions duplicated by the Merger and integration.  Also
included in the total merger/integration charge was a write-off of redundant
inventories relating to overlapping product lines and product development
efforts totaling approximately $6.5 million which has been reflected in cost of
goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  (See Note 3 of the Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

     Interest Expense and Other, Net.  Interest expense and other, net for the
six and three month periods ended June 30, 1997 was $3.0 million and $1.7
million, respectively, compared to $4.3 million and $2.0 million for the same
periods in 1996.  These decreases primarily relate to decreased debt levels
resulting from improved working capital levels and, to a lesser extent, a lower
average interest rate under the Company's Credit Facility.

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



     Net Income (Loss).  Net income (loss) for the six and three month periods
ended June 30, 1997 was $(15.1) million and $1.0 million, respectively,
compared to $15.0 million and $7.5 million for the same periods in 1996.
Included in the net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 were
approximately $28.0 million of pretax merger/integration costs.  (See Note 3 of
the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)  The decreases in net
income from the same periods in 1996 are due to the factors described above.

FINANCIAL LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     In the first quarter of 1997, in connection with the Merger discussed in
Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company
recorded merger/integration costs aggregating approximately $28 million.  The
components of the non-recurring charge included $6.9 million related to the
investment banking, legal, accounting and contractual change of control
payments associated with the Merger; $11.2 million related to facility and
operational consolidation and reorganization due to the combining of various
manufacturing operations; and $3.4 million related to severance costs resulting
from the elimination of positions duplicated by the Merger and integration.
The personnel-related costs included charges related to the termination of
approximately 200 employees primarily resulting from the factors described
above.  Also included in the total merger/integration charge was a write-off of
redundant inventories relating to overlapping product lines and product
development efforts totaling approximately $6.5 million which has been
reflected in cost of goods sold for the six months June 30, 1997.  As of June
30, 1997, approximately $9 million of the charge had yet to be utilized.

     As of June 30, 1997, the Company had a balance of $84 million outstanding
under its credit facility.  At June 30, 1997, the Company had approximately
$101 million of available borrowings under its Credit Facility.  The average
interest rate on these borrowings was 6.5% at June 30, 1997.  The commitment
fee on unused borrowings is approximately 1/4 of 1%.

     The Company's capital expenditures were $6.2 million and $4.3 million in
the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The Company has no
significant commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 1997.

     The Company's primary need for capital has been 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 decreases, the investment in accounts receivable and inventory decreased
approximately $33.9 million and $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996, respectively.

CASH FLOW

     Cash flows provided by operating activities were $0.7 million and $18.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  1997
includes the impact of merger/integration costs and a reduction in accounts
payable.  1996 reflects the Company's improved working capital position
resulting from its continued effort to control inventory.

     Cash flows used by investing activities were $7.1 million and $2.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Both periods
include the impact of planned sales, factory and warehouse improvements.

     Cash flows used by financing activities were $15.4 million and $7.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Both
periods reflect their respective trends in operating and investing activities.
