A. Teradyne, Inc.

Teradyne, Inc. is the world's largest supplier of automatic test equipment
and is also a leading provider of high performance interconnection systems and
electronic manufacturing services.

Teradyne's automatic test equipment products include systems that:

- test semiconductors ("Semiconductor Test Systems");
- test and inspect circuit-boards ("Circuit Board Test and Inspection
Systems"); and
- test high speed voice and data communication ("Broadband Test Systems").

Teradyne's interconnection systems products and services ("Connection
Systems") include:

- high bandwidth backplane assemblies and associated connectors used in
electronic systems; and
- electronic manufacturing services of assemblies that include Teradyne
backplanes and connectors.

Broadband Test Systems and Diagnostic Solutions have been combined into
"Other Test Systems" for purposes of disclosing Teradyne's reportable segments.

B. Risks and Uncertainties

Teradyne's future results of operations involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. These factors include, but are not limited to, the slowdown in
economies worldwide, the effects of the hostilities begun in September 2001, the
current and anticipated market for electronics, risks associated with any
measures Teradyne takes to address the current slowdown in the market, failure
to adequately protect Teradyne's intellectual property rights, failure to
develop new technologies or customers' failure to accept new products, risks
associated with acquisitions and divestitures, securities class action
litigation due to past or future stock activity, competition, including new
product introduction from Teradyne's competitors and competitive pricing
pressures, risks of operating internationally, risks associated with obligations
and potential liabilities under environmental regulations, Teradyne's debt
service obligations with respect to its sale in 2001 of convertible senior notes
and a mortgage financing completed in 2001 with respect to certain of its owned
real estate assets, the difficulty in obtaining future financing if needed,
provisions of Teradyne's charter and by-laws and Massachusetts law that make a
takeover of Teradyne more difficult, timing of customer orders or any deferral
or cancellation of orders previously received, reliance on sole source
suppliers, potential retrofit costs, and the timing of investments in
engineering and development. At present, Teradyne cannot say how long the
current business downturn will last or when the situation will improve. In the
absence of significant improvement, orders could remain low or decline further,
and the amount of Teradyne's inventory, deferred tax assets, and certain
long-lived assets considered realizable could be significantly reduced.

C. 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. 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.

Certain costs in the first quarter of 2001 have been reclassified from cost
of sales into engineering and development and selling and administrative. These
reclassified costs consist of new product development costs incurred in
manufacturing engineering, test technology and applications engineering costs
supporting sales. The costs reclassified from cost of sales to engineering and
development represent work performed to develop and implement manufacturing and
test processes focused on the introduction of new product platforms. The costs
reclassified from cost of sales to selling and administrative represent the
development of applications programming used to demonstrate new product
capabilities.

On October 26, 2001 Teradyne completed its acquisition of GenRad, Inc. of
Westford, MA, a leading manufacturer of electronic automatic test equipment,
related software and diagnostic solutions. The GenRad business has been made
part of the Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems operating segment. GenRad
activity is reflected in Teradyne's results of operations since the acquisition
date.

Preparation of Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements are
unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accrual entries) necessary for a fair statement of the
results for the interim periods 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.

Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income

D. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2001, FASB issued SFAS 143, "Accounting for Obligations
Associated with the Retirement of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 143 provides the
accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with tangible
long-lived assets. SFAS 143 is effective for financial statements for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2002. Teradyne has determined that SFAS 143 will
not have an impact on its financial position and results of operations.

In October 2001, FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 requires one method of accounting for
long lived assets disposed of by sale. SFAS 144 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Teradyne
adopted SFAS 144 effective January 1, 2002. SFAS 144 did not have an impact on
Teradyne's financial position or results of operations.

E. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In July 2001, FASB issued SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
SFAS 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill
amortization and includes provisions for the reclassification of certain
existing recognized intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of
existing recognized intangibles, and reclassification of certain intangibles out
of previously reported goodwill.

Intangible assets

Teradyne adopted SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. In accordance with this
statement Teradyne reassessed the classification of its goodwill and intangible
assets. This analysis, which was completed during the quarter ended March 31,
2002, resulted in the reclassification of workforce related intangibles of $0.4
million to goodwill. Also, in accordance with this statement, Teradyne
reassessed the useful lives of its amortized intangible assets and determined
the lives were appropriate.

E. Goodwill and Intangible Assets - (Continued)

SFAS 142 requires Teradyne to complete a transitional goodwill impairment
test six months from the date of adoption. As of March 31, 2002, Teradyne
completed the transitional goodwill impairment test and no adjustment to
goodwill was necessary. As of January 1, 2002, Teradyne ceased the amortization
of goodwill. The following is the pro-forma effect on net income and net income
per share had SFAS 142 been in effect for the three months ended April 1, 2001
(in thousands, except per share amounts):

F. Net (Loss) Income per Common Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net
(loss) income per common share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

For the Three Months Ended
----------------------------------
March 31, 2002 April 1, 2001
-------------- -------------

Net (loss) income ................................................ $(77,140) $53,959
========= =======

Shares used in net (loss) income per common share - basic ........ 182,332 173,791

Shares used in net (loss) income per common share - diluted ...... 182,332 179,750
========= =======

Net (loss) income per common share - basic ....................... $ (0.42) $ 0.31
======== =======

Net (loss) income per common share - diluted ..................... $ (0.42) $ 0.30
======== =======

All options and equivalent shares related to the convertible notes outstanding
at the quarter ended March 31, 2002 were excluded from the calculation of
diluted net loss per share because the effect would have been antidilutive. As
of March 31, 2002, there were 26.9 million options outstanding. As of March 31,
2002, there were 15.4 million equivalent shares related to the convertible notes
shares outstanding. For purposes of computing diluted earnings per share,
weighted average common share equivalents do not include stock options with an
exercise price that exceed the average fair market value of Teradyne's common
stock. Accordingly, options to purchase 1.3 million shares of common stock for
the three months ended April 1, 2001 were not included in the calculation of
diluted net income per share.

G. Workforce Reduction and Asset Impairments

During the first quarter of 2002, Teradyne recorded a pre-tax charge of
$5.0 million in connection with a workforce reduction. The $5.0 million
provision for severance benefits was recorded in restructuring and other
charges. There were 220 employees terminated in the first quarter of 2002 across
all functional groups. Teradyne paid approximately $1.1 million of the
restructuring charge during the first quarter of 2002. All remaining benefits
will be paid by the end of first quarter of 2003.

During the first quarter of 2001, Teradyne also recorded a pre-tax charge
of $5.7 million in connection with a workforce reduction. The $5.7 million
provision for severance benefits was recorded in restructuring and other
charges. There were 650 employees terminated in the first quarter of 2001 across
all functional groups. All benefits were paid by the end of the fourth quarter
of 2001.

======== ======= ========

The accrual for severance and benefits is reflected in accrued employees'
compensation and withholdings and the accrual for lease payments on vacated
facilities is reflected in other accrued liabilities.

During the first quarter of 2002, Teradyne management concluded in
accordance with SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," that certain Semiconductor Test Systems long-lived assets
held for disposal were impaired as the estimated fair value was less than the
carrying value of these assets. The charge for the impaired assets held for
disposal was $0.8 million and was recorded in cost of sales.

H. Operating Segment Information

Teradyne has four principal operating segments which are the design,
manufacturing and marketing of Semiconductor Test Systems, Connection Systems,
Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems, and Other Test Systems. These
operating segments were determined based upon the nature of the products and
services offered. The other segment is comprised of Broadband Test Systems and
Diagnostic Solutions.

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, 2001. Intersegment sales are accounted for at fair value
as if sales were to third parties. Operating segment information for the three
month period ended March 31, 2002 and April 1, 2001 follows (in thousands):

I. Commitments and Contingencies

In connection with the August 2000 acquisition of each of Herco Technology
Corp., a California company, and Perception Laminates, Inc., a California
company, a complaint was filed by the former owners of those companies on or
about September 5, 2001 naming as defendants Teradyne and two of its executive
officers. The case was originally filed in the Superior Court in San Diego
County, California, and was subsequently removed by the defendants to federal
court. On or about November 14, 2001, Teradyne and the two individual defendants
filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety. The federal
court granted in part and denied in part that motion to dismiss. The claims that
were dismissed were dismissed with prejudice. At the federal court's request,
the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on March 4, 2002 setting forth
their remaining claims. The second amended complaint alleges, among other
things, that the sale of Teradyne's common stock to the former owners violated
certain California securities statutes and common law. In addition, second
amended complaint alleges that Teradyne breached certain contractual obligations
in the agreements relating to the acquisitions. The second amended complaint
seeks unspecified damages, including compensatory, consequential and punitive
damages, and recovery of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. On March 25,
2002, Teradyne and the two individual defendants filed their answer to the
second amended complaint.

Teradyne and two of its executive officers are named as defendants in three
purported class action complaints that were filed in the United States District
Court for the District of Massachusetts, Boston, Massachusetts, on or about
October 16, 2001, October 19, 2001 and November 7, 2001. The complaints allege,
among other things, that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, by making, during the period from July 14, 2000
until October 17, 2000, material misrepresentations and omissions to the
investing public regarding Teradyne's business operations and future prospects.
The complaints seek unspecified damages, including compensatory damages and
recovery of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

Teradyne disputes all of the claims above and believes they are without
merit, and intends to defend vigorously against the lawsuits. However, an
adverse resolution of any of the lawsuits could have a material adverse effect
on Teradyne's financial position or results of operations. Teradyne is not
presently able to reasonably estimate potential losses, if any, related to any
of the lawsuits and therefore has not accrued for any potential losses from the
lawsuits.

In 2001, Teradyne was designated as a "potentially responsible party"
("PRP") at two clean-up sites, one in California and one in Rhode Island.
Teradyne does not believe that it has any liability for the cleanup of the
California site, and has requested the state of California to remove Teradyne's
name from the list of PRPs, however, Teradyne has not yet received a reply. In
the opinion of management, the costs associated with complying with the clean-up
of this site, if required, are not expected to have a material effect upon the
financial position or results of operations of Teradyne. However, Teradyne
cannot predict what its liability, if any, may be for the clean-up of this site
and can give no assurance that it will not materially adversely affect
Teradyne's financial condition or results of operations. With respect to the
second site, in Rhode Island, additional information is currently being
collected to better understand Teradyne's financial obligations, if any, for its
portion of the clean-up of this site.

In addition, Teradyne is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise
in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe these actions
will have a material adverse effect on Teradyne's financial position or results
of operations.

Results of Operations

Revenue

Teradyne recorded sales of $248.0 million in the first quarter of 2002, a
decrease of $357.2 million or 59% from the first quarter of 2001. Semiconductor
Test Systems sales and Connection Systems sales to unaffiliated customers
decreased 75% and 53%, respectively from the first quarter of 2001 which
reflects the overall economic and current industry conditions as described
below. Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems and Other Test Systems sales
increased by 15% and 147%, respectively from the first quarter of 2001 due to
GenRad related sales which Teradyne acquired in October of 2001. Included in the
first three months of 2001 sales of $605.2 million was a non-recurring
adjustment of $98.7 million which resulted in $48.8 million of income (net of
tax of $20.9 million) related to shipments in 2000 where title was retained
until payment was received. Teradyne no longer retains title until receipt of
payment.

Teradyne's business has been adversely impacted by the slowdown in
economies worldwide. Teradyne has also been adversely affected by the cyclical
nature of the electronics and semiconductor industries, which experience
recurring periods of oversupply of products and equipment of the type Teradyne
sells. These factors have resulted in a downturn in the demand for Teradyne's
products. During the first quarter of 2002, orders declined significantly
compared with the orders Teradyne received during the first quarter of 2001.
Teradyne's experience in previous downturns has been that orders improve as
Teradyne's customers' capital expenditures increase. At present, however,
Teradyne cannot say how long the current downturn will last or when the
situation will improve. In the absence of significant improvement, orders could
remain low or decline further, and the amount of Teradyne's inventory, deferred
tax assets, and certain long-lived assets considered realizable could be
significantly reduced.

Bookings

Incoming net orders were $210.3 million in the first quarter of 2002
compared to $357.1 million in the first quarter of 2001. The decrease in
incoming net orders was led by a 77% decrease in Connection Systems orders and a
25% decrease in Semiconductor Test System orders. Circuit Board Test and
Inspection Systems and Other Test Systems net orders increased by 56% and 347%
due to GenRad related orders which Teradyne acquired in October of 2001.
Teradyne experienced cancellations of $27.2 million and $24.9 million in the
first three months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. Teradyne's net orders for its
four principal operating segments were as follows:

(in millions)
Quarter Ended
March 31, April 1,
2002 2001
------ -------

Semiconductor Test Systems ................................................ $ 89.6 $ 119.4
Connections Systems ....................................................... $ 46.4 $ 206.0
Circuit Board Test and Inspection Systems ................................. $ 36.1 $ 23.1
Other Test Systems ........................................................ $ 38.2 $ 8.6
------- --------
$ 210.3 $ 357.1

Customers may delay delivery of products or cancel orders suddenly and
without significant notice, subject to possible cancellation penalties. Due to
possible customer changes in delivery schedules and cancellation of orders,
Teradyne's 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 Teradyne's business and results of operations.

Gross Margin

Quarter Ended
April 1,
Increase / (Decrease) 2001
- --------------------- ---------
(in thousands)
Cost of sales ........................... ($16,593)
Engineering and development ............. 12,373
Selling and administrative .............. 4,220

Gross margin decreased to 12% of sales in the first quarter of 2002 from
39% of sales in the first quarter of 2001. The percentage decrease in the first
quarter of 2002 was attributable to the decreased utilization of Teradyne's
manufacturing capacity, as sales volume decreased while certain components of
costs of sales remained fixed. The decrease in the percentage of gross margin
was also impacted to a lesser extent by increased competitive price pressure as
current semiconductor products mature and the mix of Teradyne's business changes
as Connection Systems and Circuit Board Test and Inspection System sales, which
have lower gross margins, become a larger percentage of Teradyne's business.

Inventory provision for excess and obsolete inventory was $6.2 million in
the first three months of 2002 compared to $13.7 million in the first three
months of 2001. During the first quarter of 2002, Teradyne recorded an asset
impairment in Semiconductor Test Systems of $0.8 million for certain impaired
manufacturing assets.

Engineering and Development

Engineering and development expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased
to 28% in the first quarter of 2002 from 14% in the first quarter of 2001, with
spending decreasing by $14.3 million. This spending decrease was primarily due
to lower material costs and the impact of workforce reductions and pay cuts.

Selling and Administrative

Selling and administrative expenses increased to 30% of sales in the first
quarter of 2002 from 12% of sales in the first quarter of 2001 with spending
increasing by $1.8 million. The increase in spending was due to additional
expenses as a result of Teradyne's purchase of GenRad in the fourth quarter of
2001. The additional selling and administrative expenses was partially offset by
workforce reductions and pay cuts.

Restructuring and Other Charges

The table below summarizes activity relating to restructuring and other charges:

Severance Lease Payments

-------- --------- ---------
Balance at March 31, 2002 $ 12,181 $ 1,496 $ 13,677
======== ========= =========

Interest Income and Expense

Interest income decreased by $2.0 million to $4.2 million in the first
quarter of 2002 compared to the first quarter of 2001. The decrease in interest
income in the three months was attributable to lower interest rates. Interest
expense increased by $5.1 million to $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2002
compared to the first quarter of 2001. The increase in interest expense was
primarily attributable to convertible notes interest expense. The convertible
notes were issued in the fourth quarter of 2001.

Other Expense

In accordance with SFAS 133, Teradyne recorded a loss of $0.5 million
during the first quarter of 2002 in other expense for the fair value of warrants
held in LogicVision, a publicly traded company. Included in other expense in the
first quarter of 2001 is Teradyne's proportionate share of a loss related to an
equity method investment of $2.5 million. The carrying value of this equity
investment was zero at December 31, 2001.

Income Taxes

Teradyne's effective tax rate benefit was 36% in the first three months of
2002. The effective tax rate benefit for the year ended 2001 was 38%. The change
in the tax rate is a result of lower favorable tax attributes from its foreign
sales corporation and state income taxes.

On a quarterly basis, Teradyne evaluates the realizability of its deferred
tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance. Realization of
Teradyne's net deferred tax assets is dependent on its ability to generate
approximately $578 million of future taxable income. Teradyne believes that it
is more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets will be realized based
on forecasted income. However, if Teradyne continues to incur significant losses
for an extended period of time, it would be required to establish a valuation
allowance against all or a significant portion of its net deferred tax assets.
To the extent Teradyne establishes a valuation allowance, an expense will be
recorded within the provision for income taxes line in the statement of
operations.

In response to an adverse World Trade Organization (WTO) finding that the
U.S. Foreign Sales Credit (FSC) tax provisions were a prohibited export subsidy,
the U.S. repealed FSC and enacted replacement legislation (Extraterritorial
Income Exclusion Act of 2000). The European Union filed a WTO challenge to the
new law and the WTO has upheld the European Union's challenge. The U.S. has
decided to appeal and the appellate process and final resolution of this matter
could extend beyond 2002. The U.S. government and industry groups are evaluating
options. It is not possible to predict what impact, if any, this issue will have
on future earnings pending final resolution of the challenge. During the years
ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, the FSC benefited Teradyne's effective
tax rate as follows:

2001 2000 1999
------ ------ ------
Export sales corporation (0.7%) (4.8%) (4.7%)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Teradyne's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance
increased $30.2 million in the first three months of 2002, to $616.4 million.
Teradyne generated cash from operating activities of $15.7 million in the first
three months of 2002 and used cash of $50.3 million in the first three months of
2001. Cash from net (loss) income, excluding the effects of non-cash items, used
$86.3 million and generated $107.4 million of cash for the first three months of
2002 and 2001, respectively. Changes in operating assets and liabilities
generated cash of $101.9 million in the first three months of 2002 as Teradyne
received a tax refund in March 2002 of $85.2 million and inventory balances
decreased. In the first three months of 2001, changes in operating assets and
liabilities used cash of $157.7 million.

Teradyne used $158.6 million of cash for investing activities in the first
three months of 2002 and $57.1 million in the first three months of 2001.
Investing activities consist of purchases, sales, and maturities of marketable
securities, and purchases of capital assets to support long-term growth. Capital
expenditures were $21.6 million in the first three months of 2002 and $94.9
million in the first three months of 2001. The decrease in capital expenditures
was due to actions taken by Teradyne beginning in 2001 to reduce planned capital
expenditures due to current market conditions.

Financing activities provided $36.7 million and $36.5 million of cash
during the first three months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. Financing
activities include issuance of Teradyne's common stock through employee stock
option and stock purchase plans and repayments of debt. During the first three
months of 2002 and 2001, common stock activity provided cash of $37.1 million.

Teradyne believes its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities
balance of $616.4 million will be sufficient to meet working capital and
expenditure needs for the foreseeable future. Depending on market conditions and
funding requirements, Teradyne may seek additional external financing. Inflation
has not had a significant long-term impact on earnings.

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results

From time to time, information provided by Teradyne, statements made by its
employees or information included in its filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (including this Form 10-Q) contain statements that are not
purely historical, but are forward looking statements, made under the Safe
Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which
involve risks and uncertainties. In particular, forward looking statements made
herein include projections, plans, and objectives for Teradyne's business,
financial condition, operating results, future operations, or future economic
performance, statements relating to the sufficiency of capital to meet working
capital, capital expenditures, expectations as to customer orders and statements
relating to backlog, bookings and cancellations and gross margins. Teradyne's
actual future results may differ materially from those stated in any forward
looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not
limited to, the factors discussed below. These factors, and others, are
discussed from time to time in Teradyne's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including in Teradyne's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2001.

Teradyne's Business Is Impacted by the Slowdown in Economies Worldwide.

Teradyne's business has been negatively impacted by the slowdown in the
economies of the United States, Asia and elsewhere that began in the second half
of 2000. The uncertainty regarding the growth rate of the worldwide economies
has caused companies to reduce capital investment and may cause further
reduction of such investments. These reductions have been particularly severe in
the electronics and semiconductor industry which Teradyne serves and have
contributed to Teradyne incurring losses in recent periods. Teradyne cannot
predict if or when the growth rate of worldwide economies will rebound, whether
the growth rate of its business will rebound when the worldwide economies begin
to grow, or if or when Teradyne will return to profitability. The effects of the
economic decline are being felt across all of Teradyne's business segments and
have significantly slowed customer orders.

Teradyne's Business is Dependent on the Current and Anticipated Market for
Electronics.

Teradyne's business and results of operations depend in significant part
upon capital expenditures of manufacturers of semiconductors and other
electronics, which in turn depend upon the current and anticipated market demand
for those products. The current and anticipated market demand for electronics
has been impacted by the economic slowdown that began in the latter portions of
2000 and the effects of the hostilities begun in September 2001. Historically,
the electronic and semiconductor industry has been highly cyclical with
recurring periods of over-supply, which often have had a severe negative effect
on demand for test equipment, including systems manufactured and marketed by
Teradyne. Teradyne believes that the markets for newer generations of electronic
products such as those that Teradyne manufactures and markets will also be
subject to similar fluctuations. Teradyne is dependent on the timing of customer
orders and the deferral or cancellation of previous customer orders could have
an adverse effect on its results of operations. Teradyne cannot assure that the
downward trend in new orders will turn around in the future or that any increase

in sales or new orders for a calendar quarter will be sustained in subsequent
quarters. In addition, any factor adversely affecting the electronics industry
or particular segments within the electronics industry may adversely affect
Teradyne's business, financial condition and operating results.

Teradyne Has Taken and Expects to Continue to Take Measures to Address the
Current Slowdown in the Market for Its Products Which Could Have Long-term
Negative Effects on Teradyne's Business.

Teradyne has taken and expects to take additional measures to address the
current slowdown in the market for its products. In particular, Teradyne has
reduced its workforce, frozen hiring, delayed salary increases, reduced the pay
of substantially all employees, implemented furloughs, discontinued its Flash
750 memory product line, recorded asset impairment charges and reduced its
planned capital expenditures and expense budgets. These measures have reduced
expenses in the face of decreased revenues due to decreased or cancelled
customer orders. However, each measure Teradyne has taken and any additional
measures taken in the future to contain expenditures could have long-term
negative effects on Teradyne's business by reducing its pool of technical
talent, decreasing or slowing improvements in its products, and making it more
difficult for Teradyne to respond to customers or competitors.

Teradyne's Business May Be Adversely Impacted by Acquisitions Which May Affect
Its Ability to Manage and Maintain Its Business.

Since Teradyne's inception, it has acquired a number of businesses. In the
future, Teradyne may undertake additional acquisitions of businesses that
complement its existing operations. Such past or future acquisitions could
involve a number of risks, including:

- the possibility that one or more such acquisitions may not close due
to closing conditions in the acquisition agreements, the inability to
obtain regulatory approval, or the inability to meet conditions
imposed for government or court approvals for the transaction;

- the diversion of the attention of management and other key personnel;

- the inability to effectively integrate an acquired business into
Teradyne's culture, product and service delivery methodology and other
standards, controls, procedures and policies;

- the inability to retain the management, key personnel and other
employees of an acquired business;

- the inability to retain the customers of an acquired business;

- the possibility that Teradyne's reputation will be adversely affected
by customer satisfaction problems of an acquired business;

- potential known or unknown liabilities associated with an acquired
business, including but not limited to regulatory, environmental and
tax liabilities;

- the amortization of acquired identifiable intangibles, which may
adversely affect Teradyne's reported results of operations; and

- litigation which has or which may arise in the future in connection
with such acquisitions.

For example, in connection with the August 2000 acquisition of each of
Herco Technology Corp., a California company, and Perception Laminates, Inc., a
California company, a complaint was filed by the former owners of those
companies on or about September 5, 2001 naming as defendants Teradyne and two of
its executive officers. This case is further described in "Item 1: Legal
Proceedings" on this Form 10-Q. Teradyne cannot predict the outcome of the
lawsuit at this time, and can give no assurance that it will not materially
adversely affect Teradyne's financial position or results of operations.

Additionally, in 2001, Teradyne was designated as a "potentially
responsible party" ("PRP") at two clean-up sites related to acquisitions of
businesses, one in California and one in Rhode Island. Teradyne does not believe
that it has any liability for the clean-up of the California site, and has
requested the state of California to remove Teradyne's name from the list of
PRPs, however, Teradyne has not yet received a reply. In the opinion of
management, the costs associated with complying with the clean-up of this site,
if required, are not expected to have a material effect upon the financial
position or results of operations of Teradyne. However, Teradyne cannot predict
what its liability, if any, may be for the clean-up of this site and can give no
assurance that it will not materially adversely affect Teradyne's financial
condition or results of operations. With respect to the second site, in Rhode
Island, additional information is currently being collected to better understand
Teradyne's financial obligations, if any, for its portion of the clean-up of
this site.

In addition to the foregoing, any acquired business could significantly
underperform relative to Teradyne's expectations.

Teradyne Currently Faces, and in the Future May Be the Subject of, Securities
Class Action Litigation Due to Past or Future Stock Price Volatility.

When the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock
sometimes institute securities class action litigation against the company that
issued the stock. Currently, Teradyne and two if its executive officers are
named as defendants in three purported class action complaints that were filed
in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Boston,
Massachusetts, on or about October 16, 2001, October 19, 2001 and November 7,
2001. The complaints allege, among other things, that the defendants

violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, by
making, during the period from July 14, 2000 until October 17, 2000, material
misrepresentations and omissions to the investing public regarding Teradyne's
business operations and future prospects. The complaints seek unspecified
damages, including compensatory damages and recovery of reasonable attorneys'
fees and costs. Teradyne strongly believes that the purported class action
complaints lack merit and it intends to defend against the claims vigorously.
However, Teradyne could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuits. The
lawsuits could also divert the time and attention of Teradyne's management.
Teradyne cannot predict the outcome of the lawsuits at this time, and can give
no assurance that they will not materially adversely affect Teradyne's financial
position or results of operations.

Teradyne's Business May be Adversely Impacted by Divestitures of Lines of
Business Which May Affect Its Ability to Manage and Maintain Its Business.

Since Teradyne's inception, it has divested itself of certain lines of
business. In the future, Teradyne may undertake additional such divestitures.
Such past or future divestitures could involve a number of risks, including:

- the diversion of the attention of management and other key personnel;

- disruptions and other effects caused by the divestiture of a line of
business on Teradyne's culture, product and service delivery
methodology and other standards, controls, procedures and policies;

- customer satisfaction problems caused by the loss of a divested line
of business; and

- the decreased diversification of Teradyne's product lines caused by
the divestiture of a line of business which may make Teradyne's
operating results subject to increased market fluctuations.

If Teradyne Is Unable to Protect Its Intellectual Property, Teradyne May Lose a
Valuable Asset or May Incur Costly Litigation to Protect Its Rights.

Teradyne's products incorporate technology that it protects in several
ways, including patents, copyrights and trade secrets. While Teradyne believes
that its patents, copyrights and trade secrets have value in general, no single
one is in itself essential. At times, Teradyne has been notified that it may be
in violation of patents held by others. An assertion of patent infringement
against Teradyne, if successful, could have a material adverse effect on its
ability to sell its products, or could require a lengthy and expensive defense
which could adversely affect its operating results.

If Teradyne Fails to Develop New Technologies to Adapt to Its Customers' Needs
and if Its Customers Fail to Accept Its New Products, Teradyne's Revenues Will
Be Adversely Affected.

Teradyne believes that its technological position depends primarily on the
technical competence and creative ability of its engineers. Teradyne's
development of new technologies, commercialization of those technologies into
products, and market acceptance and customer demand for those products is
critical to Teradyne's success. Successful product development and introduction
depends upon a number of factors, including:

- new product selection;

- development of competitive products by competitors;

- timely and efficient completion of product design;

- timely and efficient implementation of manufacturing; and

- assembly processes and product performance at customer locations.

Intense Competition in Teradyne's Industry May Affect Its Revenues.

Teradyne faces substantial competition throughout the world in each of its
operating segments. Some of Teradyne's competitors have substantial financial
and other resources to pursue engineering, manufacturing, marketing and
distribution of their products. Teradyne also faces competition from internal
suppliers at several of its customers. Some of Teradyne's competitors have
introduced or announced new products with certain performance characteristics
which may be considered equal or superior to those Teradyne currently offers.
Teradyne expects its competitors to continue to improve the performance of their
current products and to introduce new products or new technologies that provide
improved cost of ownership and performance characteristics. New product
introductions by competitors could cause a decline in sales or loss of market
acceptance of Teradyne's products. Moreover, increased competitive pressure
could lead to intensified price based competition, which could materially
adversely affect Teradyne's business, financial condition and results of
operations.

Teradyne Is Subject to Risks of Operating Internationally.

Teradyne derives a significant portion of its total revenue from customers
outside the United States. Teradyne's international sales are subject to
significant risks and difficulties, including:

- unexpected changes in legal and regulatory requirements and in policy
changes affecting international markets;

- changes in tariffs and exchange rates;

- political and economic instability and acts of terrorism;

- difficulties in accounts receivable collection;

- difficulties in staffing and managing international operations; and

- potentially adverse tax consequences, such as the World Trade
Organization's dispute against the U.S. Foreign Sales Credit.

Teradyne May Incur Significant Liabilities if It Fails to Comply With
Environmental Regulations.

Teradyne is subject to environmental regulations relating to the use,
storage, discharge, site cleanup, and disposal of hazardous chemicals used in
its manufacturing processes. If Teradyne fails to comply with present and future
regulations, or is required to perform site remediation, Teradyne could be
subject to future liabilities or the suspension of production. Present and
future regulations may also:

- restrict Teradyne's ability to expand its facilities;

- require Teradyne to acquire costly equipment; or

- require Teradyne to incur other significant costs and expenses.

Teradyne Has Substantially Increased Its Indebtedness.

On October 24, 2001, Teradyne completed a private placement of $400 million
principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes (the "Notes") due 2006 and
received net proceeds of $389 million. On December 19, 2001, Teradyne obtained a
loan of approximately $45 million in the form of a 7.5% mortgage loan maturing
on January 1, 2007 (the "Mortgage"). As a result, Teradyne has incurred
approximately $445 million principal amount of additional indebtedness,
substantially increasing its ratio of debt to total capitalization. Teradyne may
incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The level of Teradyne's
indebtedness, among other things, could:

- make it difficult for Teradyne to make payments on its debt and other
obligations;

- make it difficult for Teradyne to obtain any necessary future
financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service
requirements or other purposes;

- require the dedication of a substantial portion of any cash flow from
operations to service for indebtedness, thereby reducing the amount of
cash flow available for other purposes, including capital
expenditures;

- limit Teradyne's flexibility in planning for, or reacting to changes
in, its business and the industries in which Teradyne competes;

- place Teradyne at a possible competitive disadvantage with respect to
less leveraged competitors and competitors that have better access to
capital resources; and

- make Teradyne more vulnerable in the event of a further downturn in
its business.

There can be no assurance that Teradyne will be able to meet its debt
service obligations, including its obligations under the Notes and the Mortgage.

Teradyne May Not Be Able to Satisfy a Change in Control Offer.

The indenture governing the Notes contains provisions that apply to a
change in control of Teradyne. If someone triggers a change in control as
defined in the indenture, Teradyne may be required to offer to purchase the
Notes with cash. If Teradyne has to make that offer, Teradyne cannot be sure
that it will have enough funds to pay for all the Notes that the holders could
tender.

In the event of a change in control of Teradyne, the mortgage lender may
elect to declare all amounts due under the Mortgage to be immediately due and
payable, and may elect to take possession of or sell the property subject to the
Mortgage.

Teradyne May Not Be Able to Pay Its Debt and Other Obligations.

If Teradyne's cash flow is inadequate to meet its obligations, Teradyne
could face substantial liquidity problems. If Teradyne is unable to generate
sufficient cash flow or otherwise obtain funds necessary to make required
payments on the Notes, the Mortgage, or certain of its other obligations,
Teradyne would be in default under the terms thereof, which would permit the
holders of those obligations to accelerate their maturity and also could cause
defaults under future indebtedness Teradyne may incur. Any such default could
have a material adverse effect on Teradyne's business, prospects, financial
position and operating results. In addition, Teradyne cannot assure that it
would be able to repay amounts due in respect of the Notes or the Mortgage if
payment of those obligations were to be accelerated following the occurrence of
any other event of default as defined in the instruments creating those
obligations. Moreover, Teradyne cannot assure that it will have sufficient funds
or will be able to arrange for financing to pay the principal amount due on the
Notes or the Mortgage at their respective maturities.

Teradyne May Need Additional Financing, Which Could Be Difficult to Obtain.

Teradyne expects that its existing cash and marketable securities, cash
generated from operations, the proceeds of the Notes offering in October 2001
and the proceeds from the Mortgage financing in December 2001, will be
sufficient to meet Teradyne's cash requirements to fund operations and expected
capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. In the event Teradyne may need
to raise additional funds, Teradyne cannot be certain that it will be able to
obtain such additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. Further, if
Teradyne issues additional equity securities, stockholders may experience
additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or
privileges senior to those of existing holders of common stock. Future
financings may place restrictions on how Teradyne operates its business. If
Teradyne cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, if and when needed, Teradyne
may not be able to develop or enhance its products and services, take advantage
of future opportunities, grow its business or respond to competitive pressures,
which could seriously harm Teradyne's business.

Provisions of Teradyne's Charter and By-Laws and Massachusetts Law Make a
Takeover of Teradyne More Difficult.

Teradyne's basic corporate documents, its stockholder rights plan, and
Massachusetts law contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a
change in the control of Teradyne, even if a change of control might be regarded
as beneficial to some or all of Teradyne's stockholders.

Teradyne's Operating Results Are Likely to Fluctuate Significantly.

Teradyne'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 of customer orders and the deferral or cancellation of
orders previously received;

- provisions for excess and obsolete inventory;

- changes in product mix;

- Teradyne's ability to introduce new products and technologies on a
timely basis;

- the introduction of products and technologies by Teradyne's
competitors;

- market acceptance of Teradyne's and its competitors' products;

- fulfilling backlog on a timely basis;

- reliance on sole source suppliers;

- potential retrofit costs;

- the level of orders received which can be shipped in a quarter; and

- the timing of investments in engineering and development.

In particular, due to Teradyne's introduction of a number of new, complex
test systems in 2001 and the planned introduction of other such systems in 2002,
there can be no assurance that Teradyne will not experience delays in shipment
of its products or that its products will achieve customer acceptance.

As a result of the foregoing and other factors, Teradyne has and may
continue to 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.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There were no material changes in Teradyne's exposure to market risk from
December 31, 2001.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1: Legal Proceedings

In connection with the August 2000 acquisition of each of Herco
Technology Corp., a California company, and Perception Laminates, Inc., a
California company, a complaint was filed by the former owners of those
companies on or about September 5, 2001 naming as defendants Teradyne and two of
its executive officers. The case was originally filed in the Superior Court in
San Diego County, California, and was subsequently removed by the defendants to
federal court. On or about November 14, 2001, Teradyne and the two individual
defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety. The
federal court granted in part and denied in part that motion to dismiss. The
claims that were dismissed were dismissed with prejudice. At the federal court's
request, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on March 4, 2002
setting forth their remaining claims. The second amended complaint alleges,
among other things, that the sale of Teradyne's common stock to the former
owners violated certain California securities statutes and common law. In
addition, the second amended complaint alleges that Teradyne breached certain
contractual obligations in the agreements relating to the acquisitions. The
second amended complaint seeks unspecified damages, including compensatory,
consequential and punitive damages, and

recovery of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. On March 25, 2002, Teradyne
and the two individual defendants filed their answer to the second amended
complaint.
