              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)



A. The Company

     Teradyne, Inc. (the "Company") designs, manufactures, markets, and services
electronic test systems and related software used by component  manufacturers in
the  design  and  testing  of  their   products  and  by  electronic   equipment
manufacturers  for the incoming  inspection of components and for the design and
testing of circuit boards and other  assemblies.  Manufacturers use such systems
and software to increase product  performance,  to improve product  quality,  to
shorten time to market, to enhance  manufacturability,  to conserve labor costs,
and to increase  production  yields.  The Company's  electronic systems are also
used by telephone  operating  companies for the testing and maintenance of their
subscriber telephone lines and related equipment.

     The Company also manufactures backplane connection systems, principally for
the computer, telecommunications, and military/aerospace industries. A backplane
is a panel that  supports  the  circuit  boards in an  electronic  assembly  and
carries the wiring that connects the boards to each other and to other  elements
of a system.

B. Accounting Policies

   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. Certain prior
years'  amounts  have  been   reclassified   to  conform  to  the  current  year
presentation.  On December 1, 1995,  the Company  completed its  acquisition  of
Megatest  Corporation  ("Megatest"),  by means of a merger of M Merger Corp.,  a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,  with and into Megatest.  As a result of
the merger,  Megatest  became a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of the  Company.  The
Megatest  combination  has been  accounted  for as a pooling of  interests.  The
accompanying  condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the
first quarter of 1995 have been  restated to include the financial  position and
results of operations of the combined companies.

   Preparation of Financial Statements

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited.
However,  in the opinion of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  only of
normal  recurring  accrual  entries)  necessary for a fair  presentation of such
information  have  been  made.  The  preparation  of  financial   statements  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles requires management to
make estimates and  assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the dates of
the  financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses
during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Sales increased 50% to $349.0 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared
to the first  quarter of 1995.  Each of the major product lines of the Company -
semiconductor test systems, circuit-board test systems,  telecommunications test
systems,  and backplane connection systems contributed to the increase in sales.
The growth was driven by a 72% increase in demand for semiconductor test systems
as   capacity    expansions   at    semiconductor    manufacturers    continued.
Telecommunications  test systems sales increased 43% as the Company fulfills its
deployment contract with Deutsche Telekom in Germany. Circuit-board test systems
sales increased 12%, while sales of backplane  connection  systems increased 2%.
As a result of the  increase  in sales,  income  before  income  taxes more than
doubled, increasing $42.6 million to $81.8 million.

     Incoming  orders were $305.6  million in the first quarter of 1996 compared
to $326.2  million in the first  quarter  of 1995.  The  decrease  in orders was
primarily  due to a slowing of  semiconductor  test systems  orders.  Orders for
backplane  connection  systems and  circuit-board  test systems  increased while
telecommunications  test  systems  also  declined.  The  decrease in orders,  if
continued, will impact shipment levels in future quarters. The Company's backlog
was $615.9  million at the end of the first quarter of 1996 compared with $512.3
million at the end of the first quarter of 1995 .

     Cost of sales,  as a percentage of sales,  decreased  from 56% in the first
quarter  of 1995 to 54% in the  first  quarter  of  1996.  The  improvement  was
primarily the result of increased  utilization  of the  Company's  manufacturing
overhead.  In  addition,  there was a favorable  change in product  portfolio as
sales of backplane connection systems, whose product margins are generally lower
than those of  electronic  test  systems,  were lower as a  percentage  of total
Company sales.

                                       7

     Engineering  and  development  spending  grew to $36.7 million in the first
quarter of 1996 from $25.0  million in the first  quarter of 1995,  a consistent
11% of sales. The expenses grew $11.7 million primarily as a result of increased
investment in new product development of semiconductor test systems. Selling and
administrative  expenses  decreased to 13% of sales in the first quarter of 1996
compared with 17% of sales in the first quarter of 1995, as the dollar volume of
these expenses grew by 21% while sales advanced 50%.

     Interest income increased in the first quarter of 1996 to $3.8 million from
$3.1  million in the first  quarter of 1995 due to an increase in the  Company's
average invested balances and higher interest rates.  Interest expense increased
slightly  from $.5  million in the first  quarter of 1995 to $.6  million in the
first quarter of 1996.

     The  Company's  effective  income  tax rate was 35.0% in the first  quarter
which is the current estimate for fiscal year 1996. That compares with 36.3% for
fiscal year 1995.  The 1995  effective  tax rate was driven above the  statutory
rate  of 35%  due  primarily  to  non-deductible  merger  expenses  incurred  in
connection with the Megatest acquisition.



Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance grew
$33.1  million  in the first  three  months of 1996.  Cash flow  generated  from
operations  was $48.1  million and $8.2 million was  generated  from the sale of
stock to employees  under the Company's  stock option and stock purchase  plans.
Cash was used to fund  additions  to  property,  plant  and  equipment  of $22.7
million in the first quarter of 1996.

     The  Company  believes  its cash and cash  equivalents  balance  of  $171.6
million,  together with other sources of funds,  including marketable securities
of $137.3  million,  cash flow  generated  from  operations,  and the  available
borrowing capacity of $120.0 million under its line of credit agreement, will be
sufficient to meet working capital and capital expenditure requirements in 1996.


Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results
- ----------------------------------------------

     From time to time, information provided by the Company,  statements made by
its employees or  information  included in its filings with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission  (including this Form 10-Q, the Company's  Annual Report on
Form  10-K,  and the  Company's  Annual  Report  to  Shareholders)  may  contain
statements  which  are  not  historical   facts,   so-called   "forward  looking
statements," which involve risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements in
"Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations"  relating to the Company's shipment levels in future quarters and
the  sufficiency  of capital to meet  working  capital and  capital  expenditure
requirements  may be forward  looking  statements.  The Company's  actual future
results  may differ  significantly  from  those  stated in any  forward  looking
statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited
to,  the  factors  discussed  below.  Each of these  factors,  and  others,  are
discussed  from time to time in the Company's  filings with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission.

     The  Company's  future  results  are  subject  to  substantial   risks  and
uncertainties.  The  Company's  business  and  results of  operations  depend in
significant part upon capital  expenditures of manufacturers of  semiconductors,
which  in turn  depend  upon the  current  and  anticipated  market  demand  for
semiconductors  and products  incorporating  semiconductors.  Historically,  the
semiconductor  industry has been highly cyclical with recurring  periods of over
supply,  which often have had a severe  effect on the  semiconductor  industry's
demand for test equipment,  including  systems  manufactured and marketed by the
Company.  The  Company  believes  that the  markets  for  newer  generations  of
semiconductors will also be subject to similar  fluctuations.  In addition,  any
factor adversely  affecting the  semiconductor  industry or particular  segments
within the semiconductor  industry may adversely affect the Company's  business,
financial condition and operating results.
     
     The Company's quarterly and annual operating results are affected by a wide
variety  of  factors  that  could  materially   adversely  affect  revenues  and
profitability,  including:  competitive  pressures on selling prices; the timing
and  cancellation  of customer  orders;  changes in product mix;  the  Company's
ability  to  introduce  new  products  and   technologies  on  a  timely  basis;
introduction of products and technologies by the Company's  competitors;  market
acceptance of the Company's and its competitors'  products;  the level of orders
received  which can be shipped in a quarter;  and the timing of  investments  in
engineering and development. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the
Company may experience  material  fluctuations in future operating  results on a
quarterly  or annual  basis  which could  materially  and  adversely  affect its
business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.
