NOTES:
(Amounts in thousands, except share data).

     A.   The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
          accounts of Scientific-Atlanta and all subsidiaries after elimination
          of all material intercompany accounts and transactions. Certain
          information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
          statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
          principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
          regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These condensed
          financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
          consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our
          fiscal year 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial information
          presented in the accompanying statements reflects all adjustments
          which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
          presentation of the periods indicated. All such adjustments are of a
          normal recurring nature.

     B.   Basic earnings per share were computed based on the weighted average
          number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per
          share were computed based on the weighted average number of
          outstanding common shares and potentially dilutive shares. Earnings
          per share for fiscal year 2000 have been restated to reflect the 2-
          for-1 stock split in March 2000.

          Basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

     D.   We acquired 42,770 and 17,397 shares of our common stock during the
          six months ended December 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
          respectively, from the payment in stock rather than cash by employees
          of tax withholdings on restricted stock which vested. During the six
          months ended December 29, 2000, we also acquired an additional 138,188
          shares of common stock from the deferral of the payment of restricted
          stock which vested.

     E.   Other (income) expense of $1,752 for the quarter ended December 29,
          2000 was comprised primarily of losses related to foreign currency
          translation and the disposition of assets. Other (income) expense for
          the six months ended December 29, 2000 included a gain of $78,757 from
          the sale of a portion of our investment in Bookham Technology plc,
          formerly Bookham Technology Limited, a UK-based developer and supplier
          of optical components. This gain was partially offset by other
          miscellaneous expenses. Other (income) expense for the quarter ended
          December 31, 1999 included a $5,780 gain from the sale of a portion of
          our investment in WorldGate Communications, Inc, partially offset by
          other miscellaneous expenses. Included in other (income) expense for
          the six months ended December 31, 1999 was a $1,500 gain realized upon
          the sale of certain assets from our former Control Systems business
          unit.

     F.   During the six months ended December 29, 2000 Scientific-Atlanta
          invested $7,000 in Alloptic, Inc., a US-based developer of high speed
          fiber optic solutions for access networks. During the six months ended
          December 31, 1999 we invested $13,100 in Bookham Technology plc, as
          well as in certain assets of an optics business for a cash payment of
          $7,697.

     G.   In July 2000, PowerTV, Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of
          Scientific-Atlanta, acquired 100 percent of the outstanding stock of
          PRASARA Technologies, Inc. for shares of PowerTV common stock and
          $2,609 in cash. PRASARA provides business and technical solutions to
          the telecommunications industry, including development, installation,
          maintenance, and operation of interactive television technology. The
          acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting
          and, accordingly, the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at
          their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The purchase
          price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities
          assumed, including $30,024 of goodwill and other intangibles.

     H.   During fiscal year 2000, we operated in two reportable business
          segments: Broadband and Satellite. The Broadband segment consists of
          subscriber and transmission systems, and the Satellite segment
          consisted of satellite network and satellite television network
          systems, which is now known as the Media Networks business of
          Scientific-Atlanta. On April 25, 2000, ViaSat, Inc. acquired our
          satellite network business, which constituted a substantial part of
          our satellite business. We retained our Media Networks business, which
          provides content distribution networks and is now part of our
          Broadband segment. We now operate only in the Broadband segment.

     I.   We adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133
          "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" in the
          first quarter of fiscal year 2001. Under Statement 133, as amended by
          Statement 138, every derivative instrument is recorded in the balance
          sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at its fair value.
          Changes in the derivative instrument's fair value must be recognized
          currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are
          met. The adoption of this statement has not had a material impact on
          our results of operations or financial condition.

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

     Scientific-Atlanta had stockholders' equity of $1.3 billion and cash on
hand was $447.5 million at December 29, 2000. Cash decreased $14.9 million from
June 30, 2000 as increases in accounts receivable and inventory and expenditures
for buildings and equipment exceeded cash generated from earnings, the sale of a
portion of our investment in Bookham Technology plc and the proceeds from stock
option exercises. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to a
higher mix of customers at December 29, 2000 with payment terms in excess of our
average as compared to prior periods. Inventory turns improved to 7.5 for the
quarter ended December 29, 2000 from 5.7 for fiscal year 2000.

     In July 2000, PowerTV, Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of Scientific-
Atlanta, acquired 100 percent of the outstanding stock of PRASARA Technologies
Inc. for shares of PowerTV common stock and $2.6 million in cash. PRASARA
provides business and technical solutions to the telecommunications industry
including development, installation, maintenance, and operation of interactive
television technology. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting and, accordingly, the acquired assets and liabilities were
recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The purchase
price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed,
including $30.0 million of goodwill and other tangibles.

     The current ratio of Scientific-Atlanta was 3.4:1 at December 29, 2000, up
from 3.0:1 at June 30, 2000. At December 29, 2000, total debt was $0.3 million
or less than one percent of total capital invested. We believe that funds
generated from operations, existing cash balances and our available senior
credit facility will be sufficient to support growth and planned expansion of
manufacturing capacity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

     Sales for the quarter ended December 29, 2000 were $631.4 million, up 69
percent over the prior year, driven by the rapid acceleration in the deployment
of digital interactive systems by our customers. We shipped over 1.1 million
digital interactive set-tops during the quarter as compared to 0.3 million in
the prior year. Sales of transmission products increased by 10 percent with
growth across most product areas, particularly opto-electronics and analog
headend products which increased 61 percent and 46 percent year-over-year,
respectively. International sales in the quarter ended December 29, 2000
decreased 10 percent over the prior year. The decrease in international sales
was primarily the result of the sale of our satellite network business, which
relied significantly on international markets, in the fourth quarter of fiscal
year 2000. International sales excluding satellite networks were flat year-over-
year.

     Sales for the six months ended December 29, 2000 were $1.2 billion, up 70
percent over the prior year, driven by the rapid acceleration in the deployment
of digital interactive systems by our customers. We shipped over 2.1 million
digital interactive set-tops during the six months ended December 29, 2000
versus 0.5 million in the same period a year ago. The increase in shipments
year-over-year is a reflection of the strong demand for our digital set-top
products and our increase in manufacturing capacity for such products. Sales of
our transmission products increased by 18 percent for the six months ended
December 29, 2000, driven by growth across most product areas, particularly
opto-electronics and analog headend products.

     We recently announced plans to increase production capacity of the
Explorer(R) digital interactive set-tops to 6 million per year, 1.5 million per
quarter, by the end of the third fiscal quarter.

     During fiscal year 2000, we operated in two reportable business segments:
Broadband and Satellite. The Broadband segment consists of subscriber and
transmission systems, and the Satellite segment consisted of satellite network
and satellite television network systems, which is now known as the Media
Networks business of Scientific-Atlanta. On April 25, 2000, ViaSat, Inc.
acquired our satellite network business, which constituted a substantial part of
our satellite business. We retained our Media Networks business, which provides
content distribution networks and is now part of our Broadband segment. We now
operate only in the Broadband segment.

     Gross margins were 30.8 percent and 30.2 percent for the quarter and six
months ended December 29, 2000, 1.5 percentage points and 1.2 percentage points,
respectively, higher than the comparable periods for the prior year, reflecting
the benefit of continuing negotiated procurement savings and manufacturing
efficiencies. In addition, revenue from manufacturing licenses and digital
headend equipment, which have a higher gross margins than Scientific-Atlanta's
average, increased.

                                    8 of 11


     Research and development costs were $38.6 million and $73.3 million for the
quarter and six months ended December 29, 2000, respectively, or 6 percent of
sales in each period. Research development costs increased 31 percent and 27
percent respectively, over the comparable quarter and six month period of the
prior year. This reflects our continued investment in research and development
programs which are focused on the development of applications and enhancements
to our interactive broadband networks. Scientific-Atlanta continues to invest in
research and development programs to support existing products as well as future
potential products for our customer base.

     Selling and administrative expenses were $57.2 million and $108.4 million
for the quarter and six months ended December 29, 2000, respectively, an
increase of 35 percent and 33 percent, respectively, over the comparable periods
for the prior year. The increase in expenses is related to the high volume of
sales, improved profitability, higher professional fees, increase in headcount
and the increase in the amortization expense of intangible assets related to the
acquisition of PRASARA.

     Other (income) expense of $1.8 million for the quarter ended December 29,
2000 was comprised primarily of losses related to foreign currency translation
and the disposition of assets. Other (income) expense for the six months ended
December 29, 2000 included a gain of $78.8 million from the sale of a portion of
our investment in Bookham Technology plc. This gain was partially offset by
other miscellaneous expenses. Other (income) expense for the quarter ended
December 31, 1999 included a $5.8 million gain from the sale of a portion of our
investment in WorldGate Communications, Inc., partially offset by other
miscellaneous expenses. Included in other (income) expense for the six months
ended December 31, 1999 was a $1.5 million gain realized upon the sale of
certain assets from our former Control Systems business unit.

     Earnings before income taxes were $107.3 million and $283.8 million for the
quarter and six months ended December 29, 2000, respectively, up $59.6 million
or 125 percent and $200 million or 239 percent, respectively, over the
comparable periods for the prior year. Significantly higher sales volumes,
improved gross margins, slower operating expense growth as a percent of sales
and the $78.8 million gain from the sale of a portion of our investment in
Bookham were the primary factors in the year-over-year increase.

     Our effective income tax rate was 34.0 percent and 35.1 percent for the
quarter and six months ended December 29, 2000, respectively, up from 30 percent
in the comparable periods of the prior year. The increase is due to the impact
on the tax rate from research and development credits which has been diminished
with higher levels of pretax earnings, as well as higher taxes to be paid on the
gains from the sale of investments.

     Net earnings for the quarter and six months ended December 29, 2000 were
$70.8 million and $184.1 million, respectively, compared to $33.4 million and
$58.6 million, respectively, in the comparable periods for the prior year.
Higher sales volume, higher gross margins as a percent of sales, lower operating
expenses as a percent of sales and a gain from the sale of a portion of our
investment in Bookham were the primary factors in the year-over-year increase.

                                      ***

     Shipments of the WebSTAR(TM) cable modem began in January, and will
continue during the quarter. Shipments are proceeding prior to final DOCSIS
certification because no operational or interoperability issues were identified
by the CableLabs DOCSIS testing process. With a simple software change, we were
able to correct the feature discrepancy reported to us by the DOCSIS
Certification Board. We submitted the WebSTAR cable modem with this software
change to CableLabs in January 2001 for the next full wave of DOCSIS
certification testing.

     We previously announced that we expected the trials of the new Kodak
Picture channel service to begin during the first quarter of calendar year 2001.
We now expect that such trials will begin during the second quarter of calendar
year 2001.

     The Explorer 6000 Digital Home Communications Terminal ("DHCT") was
designed to accommodate Windows CE, a second operating system being developed by
Microsoft Corporation. Shipments of the Explorer 6000 DHCT are highly dependent
on the availability and demand for Windows CE. In addition, although personal
video recorder ("PVR") hardware was originally planned for inclusion in the
Explorer 6000 DHCT, we have not included it in the Explorer 6000 DHCT due to the
lack of customer interest in having such technology in the Explorer 6000 DHCT.
However, we are including PVR technology in the Explorer 8000 DHCT, which is
currently under development.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
- -------   -----------------------------------------------------------

     Scientific-Atlanta enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge
certain firm commitments and assets denominated in currencies other than the
U.S. dollar. These contracts are for periods consistent with the exposure being
hedged and generally have maturities of one year or less. To qualify as a hedge,
the item to be hedged must expose us to inventory pricing or asset devaluation
risk and the related contract must reduce that exposure and be designated by
Scientific-Atlanta as a hedge. Our foreign exchange forward contracts do not
significantly subject our results of operations to risk due to exchange rate
fluctuations because gains and losses on these contracts generally offset losses
and gains on the exposure being hedged. We do not enter into any foreign
exchange forward contracts for speculative trading purposes. If a foreign
exchange forward contract did not meet the criteria for a hedge, we would
recognize unrealized gains and losses as they occur.

Firmly committed purchase and related derivative contracts through October 2001
are as follows:

                                              Canadian
