1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of ADTRAN,Inc.
(the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for
reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and notes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements are
not included herein. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for
a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included and are of a
normal and recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended March
31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 1997.The interim statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. INVENTORY

3. THE ALABAMA STATE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY

The Company's long-term debt outstanding as of March 31, 1997 consisted of
a loan in the amount of $20,000,000 related to the expansion of the Company's
facilities in Huntsville, Alabama. The Company is continuing a project to expand
its facilities in Huntsville in several phases over the next three years at a
cost of approximately $131,000,000 of which $41,261,967 had been incurred at
March 31, 1997. The debt associated with $50,000,000 of this project has been
approved for participation in an incentive program offered by the Alabama State
Industrial Development Authority (the "Authority"). That program enables
participating companies such as the Company to generate Alabama corporate income
tax credits that can be used to reduce the amount of Alabama corporate income
taxes that would otherwise be payable. In January 1995, the Authority issued
$20,000,000 of its taxable revenue bonds (the "Original Bond"), pursuant to such
program and loaned the proceeds from the sale of the Original Bond to the
Company. The Original Bond was purchased by AmSouth Bank of Alabama, Birmingham,
Alabama (the "Bank"), pursuant to a Financing Agreement dated January 1, 1995
(the "Original Financing Agreement"). First Union National Bank of Tennessee
(the "Bondholder") agreed to purchase the Original Bond from the Bank. On April
21, 1997, the Authority adopted a resolution authorizing the amendment of
documents relating to the $50,000,000 Taxable Revenue Bond, Series 1995 (ADTRAN,
Inc. Project). On April 25, 1997, the Bondholder, pursuant to the First Amended
and Restated Financing Agreement dated April 25, 1997, purchased the Original
Bond from the Bank. The Authority issued an additional $30,000,000 of its
taxable revenue bonds (the "Amended and Restated Bond"), pursuant to such
program and loaned the proceeds form the sale of the Amended and Restaed Bond to
the Company, increasing the Company's long-term debt to $50,000,000 as of April
25, 1997. The Amended and Restated Bond was purchased by the Bondholder. The
Amended and Restated Bond will bear interest, payable monthly, at the rate of 45
basis points over the money market rate of the Bondholder and will mature on
January 1, 2020. The Company has agreed to make payments to the Authority in
amounts necessary to pay the principal of and interest on the Original Bond and
the Amended and Restated Bond. Construction on the project began in March 1995
and certain phases were completed by March 31, 1997. There can be no assurance
that the State of Alabama will continue to make these corporate income tax
credit available in the future, and the Company therefore may not realize the
full benefit of these incentives.

4. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128). SFAS
128 supersedes existing generally accepted accounting principles relative to the
calculation of earnings per share, is effective for years ending after December
15, 1997 and requires restatement of all prior period earnings per share
information upon adoption. Generally, SFAS 128 requires a calculation of basic
earnings per share, which takes into consideration income (loss) available to
common shareholders and the weighted average of common shares outstanding. SFAS
128 also requires the calculation of a diluted earnings per share, which takes
into account the impact of all additional common shares that would have been
outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares relating to options,
warrants, and convertible securities had been issued, as long as their effect is
dilutive, with a related adjustment of income available for common shareholders,
as appropriate. SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted
earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations and requires a
reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share
computation. The Company does not expect the effect of its adoption of SFAS 128
to be material.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

ADTRAN, Inc. (the "Company") designs, develops, manufactures, markets and
services a broad range of high speed digital transmission products utilized by
telephone companies ("Telcos") and corporate end-users to implement advanced
digital data services over existing telephone networks. The Company currently
sells its products to Telcos (including all of the Regional Bell Operating
Companies), Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs") and, since 1991, private
end-users in the Customer Premises Equipment ("CPE") market.

The Company's sales have increased each year due primarily to increases in
the number of units sold to both new and existing customers. These annual sales
increases reflect the Company's strategy of increasing unit volume and market
share through the introduction of succeeding generations of products having
lower selling prices and increased functionality as compared to the prior
generation of a product and to the products of competitors. An important part of
the Company's strategy is to engineer the reduction of the product cost of each
succeeding product generation and then to lower the product's price based on the
cost savings achieved. As a part of this strategy, the Company seeks in most
instances to be a low cost, high quality provider of products in its markets.
The Company's success to date is attributable in large measure to its ability to
initially design its products with a view to their subsequent re-design,
allowing efficient enhancements of the product in each succeeding product
generation. This strategy has enabled the Company to sell succeeding generations
of products to existing customers as well as to increase its market share by
selling these enhanced products to new customers.

The Company intends to retain all earnings for use in the development of
its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future.

When used in this Form 10-Q, the words "believe," "anticipate," "think,"
"intend," "will be," and similar expression identify forward looking statements.
Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected. Readers are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on these forward looking statements which speak only
as of the date hereof. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider
the various disclosures made by the Company which attempt to advise interested
parties of the factors which affect the Company's business, including the
disclosures made in other periodic reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Three
Months Ended March 31, 1997

Sales

The Company's sales increased 12.3% from $54,544,441 in the three months
ended March 31, 1996 to $61,230,184 in the three months ended March 31, 1997.
The increased sales resulted from an increase in sales volume to existing
customers and from increased market penetration. Sales to Telcos increased 14.9%
from $32,385,385 in the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $37,208,097 in the
three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase in Telco sales in the 1997
period resulted primarily from increased sales of Integrated Services Digital
Network ("ISDN") products and increased sales of High bit-rate Digital
Subscriber Line ("HDSL") products. Telco sales as a percentage of total sales
increased from 59.4% in the three months ended March 31, 1996 to 60.8% in the
three months ended March 31, 1997. Sales of CPE products increased 16.0% from
$15,143,210 in the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $17,568,943 in the three
months ended March 31, 1997, as a result of increased CPE sales of ISDN products
and T1 Service Unit ("TSU") products. OEM sales decreased 8.0% from $7,015,846
in the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $6,453,144 in the three months ended
March 31, 1997. This decrease was attributable primarily to reduced demand
related to mature programs combined with the low volume normally encountered on
new programs. Additionally, the Company has converted numerous products
originally developed under OEM contract status to ADTRAN standard product
status. This conversion was accomplished with permission from the OEM contract
holders and was done to allow the Company to pursue markets directly that will
no longer support a two tier distribution structure. The financial effect of
the increase in overall unit volume was offset somewhat by lower unit selling
prices for many of the Company's products.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased 2.2% from $28,809,326 in the three months ended
March 31, 1996 to $29,438,797 in the three months ended March 31, 1997,
primarily as a result of the increase in sales. As a percentage of sales, cost
of sales decreased from 52.8% in the three months ended March 31, 1996 to 48.1%
in the three months ended March 31, 1997. An important part of the Company's
strategy is to reduce the product cost of each succeeding product generation and
then to lower the product's price based on the cost savings achieved. This
strategy sometimes results in variations in the Company's gross profit margin
due to timing differences between recognition of cost reductions and the
lowering of product selling prices. In view of the rapid pace of new product
introductions by the Company, this strategy may result in variations in gross
profit margins that,for any particular financial period, can be difficult to
predict.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 45.2% from
$7,257,687 in the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $10,537,516 in the three
months ended March 31, 1997. The increase was due to additional sales and
support expenditures necessary as a result of the Company's expanded sales base.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased
from 13.3% in the three months ended March 31, 1996 to 17.2% in the three months
ended March 31, 1997.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased 27.2% from $5,501,374 in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 to $6,995,257 in the three months ended March
31, 1997. The increase was due to increased engineering costs associated with
new product introductions and product cost and feature enhancement activities.
As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses increased from 10.1%
in the three months ended March 31, 1996 to 11.4% in the three months ended
March 31, 1997.
Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased 13.4% from $280,036 in the three months ended
March 31, 1996 to $242,534 in the three months ended March 31, 1997. This
decrease was due to capitalization of the interest cost incurred as a part of
the cost of acquiring certain assets. The Company paid interest on $20,000,000
of revenue bond proceeds loaned to the Company in January 1995, which proceeds
are being used to expand the Company's facilities in Huntsville, Alabama. See
"Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

Net Income

As a result of the above factors, net income increased 10.4% from
$8,623,388 in the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $9,522,268 in the three
months ended March 31, 1997. As a percentage of sales, net income decreased
slightly from 15.8% in the three months ended March 31, 1996 to 15.6% in the
three months ended March 31, 1997.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is continuing a project to expand its facilities in Huntsville
in several phases over the next three years at a cost of approximately
$131,000,000 of which $41,261,967 had been incurred at March 31, 1997. The debt
associated with $50,000,000 of this project has been approved for participation
in an incentive program offered by the Alabama State Industrial Development
Authority (the "Authority"). The Authority issued an additional $30,000,000 of
its taxable revenue bonds (the "Amended and Restated Bond"), pursuant to such
program and loaned the proceeds from the sale of the Amended and Restated
Bond to the Company, increasing the Company's long-term debt to $50,000,000 as
of April 25, 1997. The Company will make payments to the Authority in amounts
necessary to pay the principal of and interest on the Amended and Restated Bond,
which matures on January 1, 2020.

The Company's working capital position improved from $140,509,802 as of
December 31, 1996 to $144,443,881 as of March 31, 1997. This improvement in the
Company's working capital position was due primarily to increased earnings. The
Company has used, and expects to continue to use, the remaining proceeds of
prior public offerings for working capital and other general corporate purposes,
including (i) product development activities to enhance its existing products
and develop new products and (ii) expansion of sales and marketing activities.
Inventory increased 17.9% from December 31, 1996 to March 31, 1997. This
increase was attributable to the Company's desire to ship larger orders to
customers from available stock.

Capital expenditures totaling $29,661,438 in 1996 and $7,536,817 in the
first three months of 1997 were used to expand the Company's headquarters and to
purchase equipment.

At March 31, 1997, the Company's cash on hand of $49,542,844 short-term
investments of $30,550,210 and $10,000,000 available under a $10,000,000 bank
line of credit placed the Company's potential cash availability at $90,093,054,
of which a portion is being used to expand the Company's facilities under the
incentive program described above. The Company's $10,000,000 bank line of credit
bears interest at the rate of 87.5 basis points over the 30 day London
inter-bank offered rate and expires in May 1997. The Company intends to renew
its $10,000,000 bank line of credit upon expiration.

The Company intends to finance its operations in the future with cash flow
from operations, the remaining net proceeds of the public offerings, amounts
available under the bank line of credit, borrowed taxable revenue bond proceeds,
and possible additional public financings. These available sources of funds are
expected to be adequate to meet the Company's operating and capital needs for
the foreseeable future.
