              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)




A. Accounting Policies

   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial statements include the
accounts of Teradyne,  Inc. (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 as of and for the six months  ended July 2, 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.

B.   Product Line Consolidation

     During  the  second  quarter  of  1996,  the  Company  announced  a plan to
consolidate the VLSI product lines of Megatest and Teradyne.  In connection with
this plan, the Company provided $34.1 million in charges, which included a $26.0
million write-down of inventory to net realizable value and $6.7 million for the
cost of identified customer obligations on VLSI systems.


C.   Acquisition of Midnight Networks, Inc.

     On  June  14,  1996,  the  Company   acquired   Midnight   Networks,   Inc.
("Midnight"),  for an initial  purchase price of  approximately  $4.0 million in
cash. In addition,  the asset purchase  agreement  calls for the Company to make
cash payments in the form of compensation, contingent upon the operating results
of Midnight,  over a period  beginning  January 1, 1998 and ending  December 31,
2000.  Midnight,  founded in 1992,  develops  and markets  software  programming
solutions to test and confirm the correct  operation of networking  products and
systems. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.
Operations  of  Midnight  have  been  included  in  the  accompanying  condensed
consolidated  financial  statements  from  the  date of  acquisition.  Pro-forma
results  of  operations  have not been  presented  because  the  effects  of the
acquisition  were not  significant.  The Company  allocated  $4.0 million of the
purchase price to software products not considered to have reached technological
feasibility and therefore were immediately expensed.

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

     Sales  increased  12% to  $319.7  million  in the  second  quarter  of 1996
compared  to the  second  quarter  of 1995.  Semiconductor  test  systems  sales
increased  13%,  circuit-board  test systems sales  increased  22%, and sales of
backplane connection systems increased 6%. Telecommunications test systems sales
decreased by 2%. In the first six months of 1996,  sales increased 29% to $668.7
million.  Net income before income taxes declined to $17.9 million in the second
quarter  compared to $38.8 million in the same period last year. The decrease in
net income was the result of pre-tax  nonrecurring  charges of $34.1 million for
product  line  consolidation  and $4.0  million for the  purchase of  in-process
technology.  For the six  months of 1996,  net  income  increased  $7.8  million
compared to the first six months of 1995.

     Incoming  orders were $220.8 million in the second quarter of 1996 compared
to $464.0  million  (which  included  $98.0  million  in  multi-year  government
contracts) in the second  quarter of 1995.  The decrease in orders was primarily
driven by a slowing of  semiconductor  test systems  orders  which  reflects the
current industry conditions.  Circuit-board test systems and  telecommunications
test systems also declined.  Orders for backplane  connection  systems rose with
strong demand from their  increasing base of commercial  customers.  The Company
expects  shipments and net income to decline in the third quarter as a result of
the reduction in semiconductor  test systems orders.  As a result of the current
business environment,  the Company has implemented a number of programs aimed at
reducing  expense and capital  expenditures.  The  Company's  backlog was $517.0
million at the end of the second quarter of 1996 compared with $690.0 million at
the end of the second quarter of 1995.

     Cost of products  sold as a  percentage  of sales  (excluding  product line
consolidation charges),  increased from 54% in the second quarter of 1995 to 56%
in the  second  quarter  of 1996 due to  increasing  shipments  of lower  margin
government  contracts  and  increased  costs in  support of  semiconductor  test
systems products. Cost of products sold in both the first six months of 1995 and
the first six months of 1996 (excluding product line consolidation charges) were
55%.

     As a result of the  slowing  of  semiconductor  test  systems  orders,  the
Company in the second quarter of 1996,  decided to accelerate the  consolidation
of the VLSI product  lines of Megatest and  Teradyne.  In  connection  with this
consolidation,  the Company provided $34.1 million in charges,  which included a
$26.0 million  write-down of inventory to net realizable  value and $6.7 million
for the cost of identified customer obligations on VLSI systems.

     Engineering  and  development  spending grew to $38.4 million in the second
quarter of 1996 from $30.8  million in the second  quarter of 1995.  Included in
the two periods  were  nonrecurring  charges of $4.0  million and $3.0  million,
respectively  for the purchase of  in-process  technology  to be used in product
development. The in-process technology had not reached technological feasibility
and was accordingly  immediately expensed. The $4.0 million charge in the second
quarter  of 1996  relates to the  purchase  of  Midnight  Networks  Inc.,  which
develops and markets  software used to test computer  networks (also see Note C.
to  the  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements).  The  expenses  before
nonrecurring  charges  grew $6.6  million  primarily  as a result  of  increased
investment  in new product  development  of  semiconductor  test  systems.  As a
percentage of sales,  engineering and development  expenses were 11% in both the
first six months of 1995 and the first six months of 1996.

     Selling and administrative expenses decreased to 13% of sales in the second
quarter  and 14% of sales in the first six months of 1996  compared  with 15% of
sales in the  second  quarter  and 16% of sales in the first six months of 1995.
The Company has been able to hold level the dollar  amount of these  expenses as
the sales volume has increased.

     Interest  income  increased  in the second  quarter of 1996 to $4.2 million
from $3.5  million  in the  second  quarter  of 1995 due to an  increase  in the
Company's average invested  balances.  Interest expense decreased  slightly from
$.7 million in the second  quarter of 1995 to $.6 million in the second  quarter
of 1996.

     The Company's  effective  income tax rate was 35.0% in the first six months
of 1996 which is the current  estimate for the fiscal year.  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
$88.3  million  in the  first  six  months of 1996.  Cash  flow  generated  from
operations  was $129.4  million and $8.9 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 $49.1
million in the first six months of 1996, an increase of $6.4 million compared to
$42.7 million in additions in the first six months of 1995.

     The  Company  believes  its cash and cash  equivalents  balance  of  $204.4
million,  together with other sources of funds,  including marketable securities
of $159.7  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 over the
next twelve months.

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 level  and  profitability in
the third quarter of 1996 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.
