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 statement of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 represents ANTEC's fiscal period ended on that date
combined with TSX's three months ended the last Saturday in January 1996.  All
intercompany sales between TSX and ANTEC were eliminated.  Operating results
for the three months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 1997.  As
of March 31, 1997, approximately $12 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.

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



COMPARISON OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996

     Net Sales.  Net sales for the first three months of 1997 were $120.0
million as compared to $183.1 million for the first three months of 1996, a
decrease of 34.5%.  This decrease primarily reflects the ongoing reduction in
capital spending by ANTEC's largest customer, Tele-Communications, Inc.
("TCI").

     Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the first three months of 1997 was $26.1
million as compared to $45.8 million for the first three months of 1996,
reflecting lower sales discussed above and 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 first three months of 1997 was
27.1% as compared to 25.0% for the first three months of 1996.  The improved
gross profit percentage for the three-month period is a result of product mix,
notably an increase in ANTEC manufactured product.

     Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses.  SG&A expenses for
the first three months of 1997 were $27.1 million compared to $32.2 million for
the first three months of 1996.  This represents a decrease of 15.8% and
reflects ongoing expense controls and preliminary 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 three months ended March 31, 1997.  (See Note 3 of the Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

     Interest Expense and Other, Net.  Interest expense and other, net was $1.4
million in the first three months of 1997 as compared to $2.4 million in the
first three months of 1996.  This decrease primarily relates 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 loss was $16.1 million for the first three months
of 1997 as compared to net income of $7.5 million for the first three months of
1996.  Included in the net loss for 1997 were approximately $28.0 million of
pretax merger/integration costs.  (See Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.)  The decrease in net income from the same period in 1996
was 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 three months ended March 31, 1997.  As
of March 31, 1997, approximately $12 million of the charge had yet to be
utilized.

     As of March 31, 1997, the Company had a balance of $93 million outstanding
under its credit facility.  At March 31, 1997, the Company had approximately
$58 million of available borrowings under its Credit Facility.  The average
interest rate on these borrowings was 6.4% at March 31, 1997.  The commitment
fee on unused borrowings is approximately 1/4 of 1%.

     The Company's capital expenditures were $2.9 million and $2.2 million in
the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The Company has
no significant commitments for capital expenditures at March 31, 1997.

     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 decreases, the investment in accounts receivable and inventory decreased
approximately $23.3 million and $4.6 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

CASH FLOW

     Cash flows provided (used) by operating activities were ($15.5) million
and $17.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 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 $3.7 million and $2.6 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Both periods
include the impact of planned sales and warehouse improvements.

     Cash flows provided (used) by financing activities were ($7.3) million and
$10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Both periods reflect their respective trends in operating activities.
