Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are not historical facts, so called “forward looking statements,” are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Investors are cautioned that all forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in Teradyne’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). See also “Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results.”

B. Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Teradyne and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of such interim financial statements. Certain prior years’ amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Teradyne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2006 for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

Employee Stock Option Plans and Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Effective January 1, 2006, Teradyne adopted the fair value recognition provision of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated results for prior periods. Under this transition method, stock based compensation expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, and is calculated based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123R. As required by SFAS 123R, Teradyne has made an estimate of expected forfeitures and is recognizing compensation costs only for those stock-based compensation awards expected to vest. The cumulative effect of the initial adoption of SFAS 123R was not material.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, Teradyne accounted for its equity incentive plans and employee stock purchase plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related Interpretations (“APB 25”). In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding the SEC’s interpretation of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. Teradyne has applied provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123R.

On May 26, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the accelerated vesting of certain outstanding, unvested “out of the money” stock options awarded to employees, officers and other eligible participants under Teradyne’s various stock option plans. The stock options that were accelerated had exercise prices that were in excess of $13.26, the closing price of Teradyne’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on May 26, 2005 and ranged in exercise price from $13.73 to $41.37 per share. Options to purchase approximately 7.6 million shares became exercisable immediately as a result of the vesting acceleration.

Teradyne implemented the expense recognition provisions of SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006. Under the modified prospective transition method as permitted under SFAS 123R, results for prior periods have not been restated. The effect of recording stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended July 2, 2006 was as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended July 2, 2006			For the Six Months Ended July 2, 2006

The impact on both basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended July 2, 2006 was $0.03 and $0.06 per share, respectively.

Valuation Assumptions

There were no options granted in the three and six months ended July 2, 2006. The weighted-average grant date fair value for options granted during the three and six months ended July 3, 2005 was $5.72 and $6.27 per option, respectively. The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:


	Employee Stock Options For the Three Months Ended				Employee Stock Options For the Six Months Ended
	July 2, 2006		July 3, 2005		July 2, 2006		July 3, 2005

The weighted-average fair value of employee stock purchase rights granted during the three and six months ended July 2, 2006 and July 3, 2005, was $3.66 and $3.08, respectively. The fair value of the employees’ purchase rights was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:


	Employee Stock Purchase For the Three Months Ended				Employee Stock Purchase For the Six Months Ended
	July 2, 2006		July 3, 2005		July 2, 2006		July 3, 2005

Stock Compensation Plans

Under its stock compensation plans, Teradyne grants (i) options to purchase its common stock at 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant, (ii) restricted stock units and (iii) employee stock purchase rights. Options granted to employees prior to September 2001 vest in equal installments over four years and have a maximum term of five years. Beginning in September 2001, options granted to employees vest in equal installments over four years and have a maximum term of seven years. Options granted to non-employee directors on or after February 5, 2001 are immediately vested, fully exercisable and have a maximum term of either five or seven years. Restricted stock unit awards granted to employees (excluding executive officers) vest over a two year period, with 50% vesting on each of the first and the second anniversaries of the grant date. Restricted stock unit awards that have been made to directors will vest after a one year period, with 100% of the award vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock unit awards that have been made to executive officers, including the CEO, will vest over two years, with 50% of the award subject to time-based vesting and 50% of the award subject to performance-based vesting. The performance criteria for performance-based grants will be assessed on the first anniversary of the grant date and, in turn, determine the number of performance-based restricted stock units available for vesting over the two-year vesting period; portions of the performance-based grants not available for vesting will be forfeited. Restricted stock units do not have common stock voting rights, and the shares underlying the restricted stock units are not considered issued and outstanding until they become vested. Teradyne expenses the cost of the restricted stock unit awards, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, ratably over the period during which the restrictions

lapse. Under the employee stock purchase plan, eligible employees may purchase shares of common stock through regular payroll deductions of up to 10% of their eligible compensation. The price paid for the common stock is equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of Teradyne’s common stock on the first business day and the last business day of the purchase period. There are two six-month purchase periods in each fiscal year.

C. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 123R (revised 2004). In annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005, SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for equity-based

TERADYNE, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

compensation using the intrinsic value-based method under APB 25. SFAS 123R requires companies to record in their Statements of Operations equity-based compensation expense for stock compensation awards based on the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of grant. Teradyne adopted SFAS 123R beginning in the first quarter of 2006, as required, using the modified prospective method, and did not restate prior periods.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 modifies the accounting for abnormal inventory costs, and the manner in which companies allocate fixed overhead expenses to inventory. SFAS 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Teradyne implemented SFAS 151 beginning in the first quarter of 2006 and it did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Teradyne in currently evaluating the impact of adopting this interpretation.

The computation of diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended July 2, 2006 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 15.5 million and 16.3 million shares, respectively, because the option price was greater than the average market price of the common shares

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

and the effect would have been anti-dilutive. The effect of Teradyne’s outstanding convertible notes on diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended July 6, 2006 was calculated using the “if converted” method as required by SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. In using the “if converted” method, $2.6 million and $5.4 million of interest expense related to the convertible notes for the three and six months ended July 6, 2006, net of tax and profit sharing expenses, was added back to net income to arrive at diluted net income. The computation of diluted net loss per common share for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 29.6 million shares because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Diluted loss per common share for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005 also excludes 14.3 million shares related to Teradyne’s convertible notes outstanding because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

F. Restructuring and Other (Credits) Charges, net

The tables below represent activity related to restructuring charges in the six months ended July 2, 2006. The accrual for severance and benefits is reflected in accrued employees’ compensation and withholdings. The accrual for lease payments on vacated facilities is reflected in other accrued liabilities and other long-term accrued liabilities and is expected to be paid out over the lease terms, the latest of which expires in 2012. Teradyne expects to pay out approximately $3.3 million against the lease accruals over the next twelve months. Teradyne’s future lease commitments are net of expected sublease income of $14.1 million as of July 2, 2006.

I. Segment Information

Teradyne has three reportable segments and four operating segments with Diagnostic Solutions and Broadband Test Systems combined as Other Test Systems. The three reportable segments are the design, manufacturing and marketing of Semiconductor Test Systems, Assembly Test Systems, and Other Test Systems. These reportable segments were determined based upon the nature of the products and services offered.

Teradyne evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment income before taxes. The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in Note B: “Accounting Policies” in Teradyne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Variable compensation, which was previously recorded at Corporate, has been allocated to each reportable segment. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this presentation.

J. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Claims

On September 5, 2001, after our August 2000 acquisition of Herco Technology Corp. and Perception Laminates, Inc., the former owners of those companies filed a complaint against Teradyne and two of our then executive officers in the Federal District Court in San Diego, California, asserting securities fraud and breach of contract related to the acquisition. Pursuant to motions filed by Teradyne and by the plaintiffs, the District Court dismissed certain of the plaintiffs’ claims, granted partial summary judgment against them with respect to their breach of contract claim and denied their motion for reconsideration. The only claim that remained before the District Court from the original complaint related to an allegation of fraud in connection with the setting of the transaction price. On December 27, 2004, the plaintiffs voluntarily stipulated to the dismissal with prejudice of their remaining claim in the District Court, without having received any payment or other consideration from Teradyne. On February 2, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the District Court’s prior orders. The appeal is now pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

TERADYNE, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

dated October 20, 1992. Neither Teradyne nor Perception Laminates have ever conducted any operations at the Los Angeles site. We have asked the State of California to drop the PRP designation, but California has not yet agreed to do so.

In May, 2006, we received a general notice letter form the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) which informed us that EPA believes we are a de minimus PRP with respect to the Casmalia Disposal Site in California. We are currently waiting for further details from EPA regarding the terms of the de minimus settlement offer that we expect to receive.

We believe that we have meritorious defenses against the above unsettled claims and intend to vigorously contest them. While it is not possible to predict or determine the outcomes of the unsettled claims or to provide possible ranges of losses that may arise, Teradyne believes the losses associated with all of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or liquidity, but could possibly be material to its consolidated results of operations of any one period.

In addition, we are subject to legal proceedings, claims and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business such as, but not limited to, patent, employment, commercial and environmental matters. Although there can be no assurance, there are no such matters pending that Teradyne expects to be material with respect to its business, financial position or results of operations.

K. Discontinued Operations

In November, 2005, Teradyne sold its Connection Systems segment to Amphenol Corporation for $390.0 million in cash, subject to a post-closing net asset value adjustment. As a result of the post-closing adjustment process, the final purchase price was $384.7 million. This resulted in a net gain on disposal after tax of $137.0 million. Teradyne sold this operating segment to focus on its core test businesses. Connection Systems had net revenues for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005 of $94.0 million and $189.2 million, respectively. Net income of the discontinued operations was $5.3 million and $8.2 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005, respectively.

L. Subsequent Events

In July 2006, Teradyne’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program. Under the program, the Company may spend up to an aggregate of $400 million to repurchase shares of its common stock in open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or through other appropriate means over the next two years. Shares are to be repurchased at the Company’s discretion, subject to market conditions and other factors. Through August 8, 2006, the Company has repurchased 5.5 million shares of common stock for $69.9 million.

In July 2006, Teradyne closed on the sale of two of its buildings, located in San Jose, CA for net proceeds of approximately $9.6 million.

In August 2006, Teradyne repurchased $24 million of the Convertible Senior Notes, pursuant to the repurchase authorization approved by the Board of Directors in January 2006. As of August 8, 2006, $261 million of the principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have identified the policies which are critical to understanding our business and our results of operations. Management believes that other than the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), there have been no significant changes during the six months ended July 2, 2006 to the items disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provision of SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective transition method and therefore have not restated results for prior periods. Under this transition method, stock based compensation expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, and is calculated based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provision of SFAS 123R. As required by SFAS 123R, Teradyne has made an estimate of expected forfeitures and is recognizing compensation costs only for those stock-based compensation awards expected to vest. The cumulative effect of the initial adoption of SFAS 123R was not material.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we recognized stock-based compensation expense in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”). In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding the SEC’s interpretation of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. We have applied provisions of SAB 107 in our adoption of SFAS 123R. See Note B to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.

Results of Operations

Discontinued Operations

In November, 2005, we sold our Connection Systems segment to Amphenol Corporation for $390.0 million in cash, subject to a post-closing net asset value adjustment. As a result of the post-closing adjustment process, the final purchase price was $384.7 million. This resulted in a net gain on disposal after tax of $137.0 million. We sold this operating segment to increase our focus on our core businesses. We have reclassified the results of Connection Systems as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

Connection Systems had net revenues for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005 of $94.0 million and $189.2 million, respectively. Net income of the discontinued operations was $5.3 million and $8.2 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005, respectively.

Unless indicated otherwise, the discussion and amounts provided in this “Results of Operations” section and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q relate to continuing operations only.

Second Quarter 2006 Compared to Second Quarter 2005

Bookings

Net bookings for our three principal reportable segments were as follows (in millions, except percent change):


	For the Three Months Ended
	July 2, 2006		July 3, 2005		% Change
Semiconductor Test Systems	$	318.5	$	180.4	76.6	%
Assembly Test Systems		47.4		48.7	(2.7	)
Other Test Systems		37.8		23.2	62.9

	$	403.7	$	252.3	60.0	%

The Semiconductor Test Systems’ increase in orders was attributed to increased demand in the system-on-a-chip (“SOC”) tester market, specifically in the wireless, automotive, gaming, datacom and consumer portable markets. Both the Flex and J750 product lines contributed to the strong order results. Geographically, record orders were seen in Japan and Korea in the second quarter of 2006. We also saw a customer shift in orders from period to period with subcontractors making up a larger percentage of orders in the second quarter of 2006 versus the second quarter of 2005.

The Assembly Test Systems decrease in orders was primarily driven by marginally lower demand in our military/aerospace (“Mil/Aero”) and commercial businesses.

The increase in Other Test Systems’ orders resulted from a strong increase in Diagnostic Solutions, offset by a decrease in Broadband Test Systems. Other Test Systems’ bookings are program related and have significant fluctuations.

Cancellations for our three principal reportable segments were $2.0 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended July 2, 2006 and July 3, 2005, respectively. All of the cancellations were attributable to the Semiconductor Test segment.

Customers may delay delivery of products or cancel orders suddenly and without significant notice, subject to possible cancellation penalties. In the second quarter of 2006 and 2005, there were no significant cancellation penalties received. Due to possible changes in delivery schedules and cancellations of orders, our backlog at any particular date is not necessarily indicative of the actual sales for any succeeding period. Delays in delivery schedules and/or cancellations of backlog during any particular period could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Net bookings by region as a percentage of total net bookings were as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended

Backlog of unfilled orders for our three principal reportable segments was as follows (in millions):


	For the Three Months Ended
	July 2, 2006		July 3, 2005
Semiconductor Test Systems	$	307.8	$	259.1
Assembly Test Systems		72.3		74.6
Other Test Systems		55.1		50.6

	$	435.2	$	384.3

Revenue

Net revenues for our three principal reportable segments were as follows (in millions, except percent changes):


	For the Three Months Ended
	July 2, 2006		July 3, 2005		% Change
Semiconductor Test Systems	$	315.1	$	163.6	93	%
Assembly Test Systems		41.6		38.0	9
Other Test Systems		35.0		24.6	42

	$	391.7	$	226.2	73	%

Semiconductor Test Systems’ revenue increase can be attributed to the cyclical nature of the industry. The increase from period to period represents the recovery from depressed levels in the second quarter of 2005. Almost the entire increase is in our FLEX family and J750 products and is distributed across all regions.

The Assembly Test Systems increase in revenue was driven by the commercial side of the business, offset in part by a decrease in Mil/Aero systems.

The increase in Other Test Systems’ revenue resulted from a strong increase in Diagnostic Solutions sales due primarily to the Vehicle Measurement Module product line, offset by a decrease in Broadband Test Systems sales.

Our sales by region as a percentage of total net sales were as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended

United States	20	%	24	%
South East Asia	20		20

Gross Margin

Our gross profit was as follows (dollars in millions):


	For the Three Months Ended
	July 2, 2006			July 3, 2005			Period Change
Gross Profit	$	193.1		$	84.8		$	108.3
Percent of Total Revenue		49.3	%		37.5	%

The increase in gross margin from the second quarter of 2005 to 2006 was primarily the result of higher volume in Semiconductor Test Systems, which accounted for 8 points of the increase. The remaining 4 points were due to a shift in mix within Semiconductor Test Systems, primarily due to more product content, as products have higher margins than service, as well as improved service margins from the second quarter of 2005 to 2006.

We assess the carrying value of our inventory on a quarterly basis by estimating future demand and comparing that demand against on-hand and on-order inventory provisions. Forecasted revenue information is obtained from the sales and marketing groups and incorporates factors such as backlog and future revenue demand. This quarterly process identifies obsolete and excess inventory. Obsolete inventory, which represents items for which there is no demand, is fully reserved. Excess inventory, which represents inventory items that are not expected to be consumed during the next four quarters, is written down to estimated net realizable value.

The provisions for excess and obsolete inventory were $1.4 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended July 2, 2006 and July 3, 2005, respectively. During the three months ended July 2, 2006 and July 3, 2005, we scrapped $4.4 million and $16.3 million of inventory, respectively, and sold $2.0 million and $0.1 million of previously written-down or written-off inventory, respectively. As of July 2, 2006, we have inventory related reserves for amounts which had been written-down or written-off of $154.3 million. We have no pre-determined timeline to scrap the remaining inventory.

Engineering and Development

Engineering and development expenses were as follows (dollars in millions):


	For the Three Months Ended
	July 2, 2006			July 3, 2005			Period Change
Engineering and Development	$	53.6		$	58.2		$	(4.6	)
Percent of Total Revenue		13.7	%		25.7	%

The decrease of $4.6 million in engineering and development expenses is due to $6.6 million from workforce reductions in the second half of 2005 as well as $4.2 million primarily for lower project spending associated with the completion of the FLEX platform. These decreases were offset in part by a $6.2 million increase from higher variable employee compensation expense.

Selling and Administrative

Selling and administrative expenses were as follows (dollars in millions):


	For the Three Months Ended
	July 2, 2006			July 3, 2005			Period Change
Selling and Administrative	$	75.6		$	64.9		$	10.7
Percent of Total Revenue		19.3	%		28.7	%

The increase of $10.7 million from the second quarter of 2005 to 2006 is primarily the result of:

•

$10.0 million in variable employee compensation;

•

$2.6 million in costs related to the consolidation of facilities in Massachusetts; and

•

$2.2 million net loss in spare parts due to a fire at a third party site in Taiwan.

These increases were offset in part by lower marketing spending of $2.2 million due primarily to workforce reductions as well as $1.9 million from lower foreign exchange expense.

Restructuring and Other (Credits) Charges, Net

The tables below represent activity related to restructuring charges in the three months ended July 2, 2006. The accrual for severance and benefits is reflected in accrued employees’ compensation and withholdings. The accrual for lease payments on vacated facilities is reflected in other accrued liabilities and other long-term accrued liabilities and is expected to be paid out over the lease terms, the latest of which expires in 2012. Teradyne expects to pay out approximately $3.3 million against the lease accruals over the next twelve months. Teradyne’s future lease commitments are net of expected sublease income of $14.1 million as of July 2, 2006.

2006 Activities

Balance at July 2, 2006	$	—		$	900		$	1,984		$	2,884

During the three months ended July 2, 2006, Teradyne recorded the following 2006 restructuring activities:

•

$21.7 million gain on the sale of real estate, including $21.2 million for a Semiconductor Test facility in Boston, MA and $0.5 million for buildings in Nashua, NH;

•

$2.4 million of severance charges related to headcount reductions across all segments; and

•

$0.1 million of facility related charges for the exit of a Semiconductor Test facility in Waltham, MA.

The restructuring actions taken in the second quarter of 2006 are expected to generate cost savings of approximately $0.7 million quarterly across all divisions.

2005 Activities


(in thousands)	Severance and Benefits			Facility Related			Other Charges			Total

During the three months ended July 2, 2006, Teradyne recorded in connection with the 2005 restructuring activities, a $0.1 million reversal of severance charges related to headcount reductions in the Semiconductor Test segment.

Pre-2005 Activities


(in thousands)	Facility Related			��	Severance and Benefits			Loss on Sale of Product Line			Total

During the three months ended July 2, 2006, Teradyne recorded the following activities related to pre-2005 restructuring activities:

•

$0.3 million of credits related to exited leases in the Corporate segment; and

•

$0.2 million credit for earn-out payments received in the Assembly Test segment.

Interest Income and Expense

Interest income increased to $11.7 million for the second quarter of 2006 from $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2005, due to higher cash balance and higher interest rates. Interest expense decreased to $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2005, due primarily to lower interest payments on convertible debt as a result of repurchases made.

Income Taxes

As a result of incurring significant operating losses from 2001 through 2003, we determined that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets may not be realized, and since the fourth quarter of 2002 we have established a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets. If we generate sustained future taxable income against which these tax attributes may be applied, some portion or all of the valuation allowance would be reversed. If the valuation allowance were reversed, a portion would be recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital, and the remainder would be recorded as a reduction to income tax expense. The tax provision in the second quarter of 2006 consists primarily of taxes incurred in foreign locations as well as $0.7 million related to the sale of real estate in the U.S. The tax expense for the second quarter of 2005 consists of amounts recorded for foreign taxes including $1.0 million related to the sale of land in Japan.

Six Months of 2006 Compared to Six Months of 2005

Bookings

Net bookings for our three principal reportable segments were as follows (in millions, except percent change):


	For the Six Months Ended				Percent Change
	July 2, 2006		July 3, 2005		Percent Change
Semiconductor Test Systems	$	627.9	$	346.2	81.4	%
Assembly Test Systems		82.4		86.6	(4.8	)
Other Test Systems		57.5		60.3	(4.8	)

	$	767.8	$	493.1	55.7	%

The Semiconductor Test Systems increase in orders was attributed to increased demand in the system-on-a-chip (“SOC”) tester market, specifically in the wireless, automotive, gaming, datacom and consumer portable markets. The FLEX family of testers has moved into mainstream production and contributed to the majority of growth experienced. We also saw a customer shift in orders from period to period with subcontractors making up a larger percentage of orders in the first half of 2006 versus the first half of 2005.

The Assembly Test Systems decrease in orders was primarily driven by less demand in the Mil/Aero business due to the cyclical nature of the Mil/Aero program buys.

The decrease in Other Test Systems’ orders resulted from a decrease in Broadband Test Systems, offset only slightly by an increase in Diagnostic Solutions.

Cancellations for our three principal reportable segments were $2.4 million and $5.6 million for the six months ended July 2, 2006 and July 3, 2005, respectively. All of the cancellations were attributable to the Semiconductor Test segment.

Customers may delay delivery of products or cancel orders suddenly and without significant notice, subject to possible cancellation penalties. In the first half of 2006 and 2005, there were no significant cancellation penalties received. Due to possible changes in delivery schedules and cancellations of orders, our backlog at any particular date is not necessarily indicative of the actual sales for any succeeding period. Delays in delivery schedules and/or cancellations of backlog during any particular period could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Gross Profit	$	363.7		$	162.4		$	201.3
Percent of Total Revenue		48.2	%		37.2	%

The increase in gross margin from the first six months of 2005 to 2006 was primarily the result of higher volume in Semiconductor Test Systems, which accounted for 8 points of the increase. A shift in mix within

Semiconductor Test Systems contributed 4 points, primarily due to more product content, as products have higher margins than service, as well as improved service margins from the first six months of 2005 to 2006. These increases were partially offset by 1 point resulting from the writedown of $8 million of non-FLEX inventory in Semiconductor Test Systems as well as higher variable employee compensation in 2006.

The provisions for excess and obsolete inventory were $9.7 million and $4.2 million for the six months ended July 2, 2006 and July 3, 2005, respectively. During the six months ended July 2, 2006 and July 3, 2005, we scrapped $11.8 million and $21.8 million of inventory, respectively, and sold $2.0 million and $0.1 million of previously written-down or written-off inventory, respectively. As of July 2, 2006, we have inventory related reserves for amounts which had been written-down or written-off of $154.3 million. We have no pre-determined timeline to scrap the remaining inventory.

Engineering and Development

Engineering and development expenses were as follows (dollars in millions):


	For the Six Months Ended						Period Change
	July 2, 2006			July 3, 2005			Period Change
Engineering and Development	$	105.8		$	119.5		$	(13.7	)
Percent of Total Revenue		14.0	%		27.4	%

The decrease of $13.7 million in engineering and development expenses is due to a $15.5 million from workforce reductions in the second half of 2005 as well as $9.2 million primarily for lower project spending associated with the completion of the FLEX platform. These decreases were offset in part by a $11.0 million increase from higher variable employee compensation expense.

Selling and Administrative

Selling and administrative expenses were as follows (dollars in millions):


	For the Six Months Ended						Period Change
	July 2, 2006			July 3, 2005			Period Change
Selling and Administrative	$	147.8		$	129.2		$	18.6
Percent of Total Revenue		19.6	%		29.6	%

The increase of $18.6 million from the second quarter of 2005 to 2006 is primarily the result of:

•

$17.2 million in variable employee compensation;

•

$4.6 million in costs related to the consolidation of facilities in Massachusetts;

•

$2.2 million net loss in spare parts due to a fire at a third party site in Taiwan in the second quarter of 2006.; and

•

$1.5 million for lower consulting spending.

These increases were offset in part by lower marketing spending of $5.5 million due to the growing acceptance of our FLEX platform as well as $1.4 million from lower foreign exchange expense.

•

$0.4 million credit for earn-out payments received in the Assembly Test Systems segment.

•

$0.3 million of credits related to exited leases in the Corporate segment.

Interest Income and Expense

Interest income increased to $21.1 million for the first six months of 2006 from $8.2 million in the first six months of 2005 due to higher cash balances and higher interest rates. Interest expense decreased to $6.8 million in the first six months of 2006 from $8.6 million in the first six months of 2005 due to lower interest payments on convertible debt as a result of repurchases made.

Income Taxes

As a result of incurring significant operating losses from 2001 through 2003, we determined that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets may not be realized, and since the fourth quarter of 2002 we have established a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets. If we generate sustained future taxable income against which these tax attributes may be applied, some portion or all of the valuation allowance would be reversed. If the valuation allowance were reversed, a portion would be recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital, and the remainder would be recorded as a reduction to income tax expense. The tax expense for the first half of 2006 consists of amounts recorded for foreign taxes as well as $0.7 million related to the sale of real estate in the U.S. The tax provision for the first half of 2005 consists of taxes incurred in foreign locations, including $1.0 million related to the sale of land in Japan, combined with audit settlements with the Internal Revenue Service and the state of California.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance increased $187.8 million in the first six months of 2006, to $1.1 billion. Cash activity for the first six months of 2006 and 2005 was as follows (in millions):

Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided cash of $31.5 million in the first six months of 2006 due primarily to a $48.5 million decrease in inventory as a result of shorter final configuration and test cycle time with our Flex products. Accounts receivable balances increased $44.6 million, primarily in the Semiconductor Test Systems segment, due to an increase in volume, while days sales outstanding (“DSO”) decreased from 71 days as of July 3, 2005 to 65 days as of July 2, 2006. We contributed $20 million to the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan and $5.3 million to the U.K. Qualified Pension Plan. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used cash of $52.2 million in the first six months of 2005, primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and inventory balances and a decrease in accounts payable, deferred revenue and accrued expenses.

Investing activities consist of the purchase, sale and maturity of marketable securities, proceeds from the sale of business and product lines, proceeds from the sale of land and building and purchases of capital assets. Capital expenditures decreased by $17.8 million in the first six months of 2006 compared to the first six months of 2005 across all operating segments, primarily due to a decrease in spending on internally manufactured test systems, and to a lesser extent by decreased spending on externally purchased property, plant and equipment.

Financing activities represent the issuance of our common stock under employee plans and payments on our convertible senior notes and other long-term debt. The decrease of $13.4 million from the first six months of 2005 to the first six months of 2006 is due to lower proceeds from employee stock option exercises in 2006.

We believe our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance of $1.1 billion will be sufficient to meet working capital and expenditure needs for at least the next twelve months. Inflation has not had a significant long-term impact on earnings.

Subsequent Events

In July 2006, Teradyne’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program. Under the program we may spend up to an aggregate of $400 million to repurchase shares of our common stock in open market purchases, in privately negotiated or through other appropriate means over the next two years. Shares are to be

repurchased at our discretion, subject to market conditions and other factors. Through August 8, 2006, we have repurchased 5.5 million shares of common stock for $69.9 million.

In July 2006, Teradyne closed on the sale of two of our buildings located on San Jose, CA, for net proceeds of approximately $9.6 million.

In August 2006, we repurchased $24 million of our Convertible Senior Notes, pursuant to the repurchase authorization approved by the Board of Directors in January 2006. As of August 8, 2006, $261 million of the principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding.

Equity Compensation Plans

In addition to Teradyne’s 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan discussed in “Note O: Stock Based Compensation” in Teradyne’s 2005 Form 10-K, Teradyne maintains a cash and equity compensation incentive plan under which its equity securities are authorized for issuance to Teradyne’s employees, directors and consultants.

The purpose of these plans is to provide equity ownership and compensation opportunities in Teradyne (each, an “Award”) by attracting and retaining the services of qualified and talented persons to serve as employees, directors and/or consultants of Teradyne. Both plans were approved by Teradyne’s shareholders.

2006 Equity and Cash Compensation Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”)

In May 2006, the 2006 Plan was approved by the shareholders. The 2006 Plan replaces the Teradyne, Inc. 1991 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “1991 Plan”), which would otherwise have expired in 2011; the Teradyne, Inc. 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”), which would have otherwise expired in 2006; the Teradyne, Inc. 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”), which would have otherwise expired in 2007; and the Variable Compensation Plan for 2007. As a result of the approval of the 2006 Plan all shares available for grant under the 1991 Plan, the Director Plan and the 1997 Plan are no longer available for grant. The 2006 Plan is administered by a committee (the “Committee”) composed solely of members of Teradyne’s board of directors that are independent.

Awards under the 2006 Plan may be either or both stock- and cash-based. Awards shall take the form of options which qualify as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, phantom stock or any other stock-based interests as the Committee shall deem up to a maximum of 12,000,000 shares of Teradyne’s common stock. The maximum number of shares of stock-based awards that may be granted to any individual Participant under the Plan during any one fiscal year may not exceed 2,000,000. The Committee determines the terms and conditions of each stock-based Award, including the number of shares subject to such Award or a formula for making this determination; the exercise or purchase price, as applicable, of such Award and the means of payment for shares; the vesting schedule; the Performance Criteria, if any, that determine the number of shares or options granted, issued, retainable and/or vested; other terms and conditions on the grant, issuance and/or forfeiture of the shares or options; and such further terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee. The 2006 Plan expires in 2016.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 123R. In annual periods beginning after January 15, 2005, SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for equity-based compensation using the intrinsic value-based method under APB 25. SFAS 123R requires companies to record in their Statements of Operations equity-based compensation expense for stock compensation awards based on the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of grant. We adopted SFAS 123R beginning in the first quarter of 2006, as required, using the Modified Prospective method, and did not restate prior periods.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No.43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS”). SFAS 151 modifies the accounting for abnormal inventory costs, and the manner in which companies allocate fixed overhead expenses to inventory. SFAS 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We implemented SFAS 151 beginning in the first quarter of 2006 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results

From time to time, information we provide, statements made by our employees or information included in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (including this Form 10-Q) contain statements that are not purely historical, but are forward looking statements, made under Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which involve risks and uncertainties. In particular, forward looking statements made herein include projections, plans and objectives for our business, financial condition, operating results, future operations, or future economic performance, statements relating to the sufficiency of capital to meet working capital requirements, capital expenditures, including future lease payments and commitments and contributions to our pension plan, expectations as to customer orders and demand for our products and statements relating to backlog, bookings and cancellations, gross margins and pricing considerations. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees but involve risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, which could cause our actual future results to differ materially from those stated in any forward looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to the following:

•

the sale of Connection Systems may affect future results of operations or financial condition;

•

we are subject to intense competition;

•

our business is dependent on the current and anticipated market for electronics, which historically has been highly cyclical;

•

our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly;

•

we are subject to risks of operating internationally;

•

if we fail to develop new technologies to adapt to our customers’ needs and if our customers fail to accept our new products, our revenues will be adversely affected;

•

if our suppliers do not meet product or delivery requirements, we could have reduced revenues and earnings;

•

we may not be able to adequately address a rapid increase in customer demand;

•

we have significant guarantees and indemnification obligations;

•

we have taken measures to ensure that we are prepared to address slowdowns in the market for our products, which could have long-term negative effects on our business;

•

we may incur significant liabilities if we fail to comply with environmental regulations;

•

we currently are and in the future may be subject to litigation that could have an adverse effect on our business;

•

if we are unable to protect our intellectual property, we may lose a valuable asset or may incur costly litigation to protect our rights;

•

our business may suffer if we are unable to attract and retain key employees;

•

our business is impacted by worldwide economic cycles, which are difficult to predict;

•

acts of war, terrorist attacks and the threat of domestic and international terrorist attacks may adversely impact our business; and

•

provisions of our charter and by-laws and Massachusetts law make a takeover of Teradyne more difficult.

These factors, and others, are discussed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 14, 2006 for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

For “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” affecting Teradyne, see Item 7a. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 14, 2006. There were no material changes in our exposure to market risk from those set forth in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1: Legal Proceedings

In 2001, we were designated as a “potentially responsible party” (“PRP”) at a clean-up site in Los Angeles, California. This claim arose out of our acquisition of Perception Laminates in August 2000. Prior to that date, Perception Laminates had itself acquired certain assets of Alco Industries Inc. under an asset purchase agreement dated October 20, 1992. Neither Teradyne nor Perception Laminates have ever conducted any operations at the Los Angeles site. We have asked the State of California to drop the PRP designation, but California has not yet agreed to do so.

Item 1A: Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A: Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
