ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


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

Three Months Ended April 29, 1995 versus Three Months Ended April 30, 1994

Net revenues of $25.9 million for the quarter ended April 29, 1995 increased by
16% compared with $22.3 million in the previous year's first quarter.
Excluding the Micro Networks Division ("Micro Networks") and Powercube
Corporation ("Powercube") which were sold on October 12, 1994 and June 23,
1994, respectively, net revenues were $25.9 million for the quarter ended April
29, 1995 compared with $18.4 million in the previous year's comparable quarter,
an increase of 41%.  Sales from Unitrode Integrated Circuits Corporation
("UICC"), which now represents the total business, increased due to strong
demand from the electronic data processing markets, as well as sales of new
products.  In addition, royalty income increased to $0.6 million in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1996 compared with $0.2 million in the previous year's
first quarter, primarily due to additional licensees.  Approximately 63% of
UICC's sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 1996 were international
compared with 64% in fiscal year 1995.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales, excluding Micro Networks and
Powercube, increased by approximately one percentage point to 52% compared to
the same quarter in the prior year.  This improvement was primarily due to a
lower average cost per unit as a result of manufacturing efficiencies and from
higher production volumes.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales,
excluding the disposed operations, decreased by approximately three percentage
points to 21% as compared to the previous year's first quarter.  This
percentage decrease was primarily due to the higher volume of sales.  Research
and development expenses at UICC were 12% of net sales in the first quarter of
fiscal year 1996 compared with 11% in the prior fiscal year.  This increase of
approximately $1.0 million related primarily to increased engineering headcount
and related product development efforts to support opportunities in the
Company's markets.

Interest income increased by $172,000 principally due to an increase in the
weighted average interest earned on cash and short-term investments.

The consolidated effective tax rate for the quarter ended April 29, 1995 was
36% compared with 35% in the prior year's first quarter.

Excluding disposed operations, net income was $3.8 million for the first
quarter of fiscal year 1996 compared to $2.1 million for the first quarter of
fiscal year 1995, an increase of 84%.

Bookings for the first quarter have increased 6% or approximately $1.6 million
to $27.4 million when compared with the prior year's first quarter, excluding
disposed operations.  The improvement was due to strong demand from the
electronic data processing markets as well as orders for new products.  In
addition, bookings have improved approximately $2.3 million or 9% when compared
to the previous quarter.  The book-to-bill ratio for the first quarter was 1.08
compared to 1.42 in the prior year's first quarter, excluding disposed
operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
- ---------------------

Backlog at April 29, 1995 was approximately $29.9 million compared with $22.8
million at April 30, 1994, excluding disposed operations, and $28.1 million at
the end of the previous quarter.  In comparison to the first quarter ended
April 30, 1994, backlog increased by approximately 31% or $7.1 million
principally due to strong demand from the electronic data processing markets as
well as orders for new products.


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

Cash and short-term investments have decreased by $8.9 million since year-end
to $21.8 million at April 29, 1995.  The principal uses of cash for the quarter
were $9.8 million for the repurchase of 500,000 shares of the Company's common
stock and $1.3 million for capital expenditures.  The principal sources of cash
for the quarter were an increase in net cash of $1.4 million provided by
operating activities and $0.6 million in proceeds from exercises of stock
options under the Company's Stock Option Plans.

It is anticipated that the Company's operating cash needs for fiscal year 1996,
including planned capital expenditures of approximately $14.0 million, will be
met by internally generated funds and available cash.  The Company also has
available an unused $15.0 million revolving credit agreement.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.62:1 at April 29, 1995
compared with 2.79:1 at January 31, 1995.  Working capital of $33.5 million at
April 29, 1995 has decreased by $4.1 million from January 31, 1995.  Both of
these decreases resulted from the Company's stock repurchase.

Accounts receivable at April 29,1995 increased by $3.1 million from January 31,
1995 primarily due to increased sales.  Receivable day sales outstanding were
53 days at April 29, 1995 compared to 47 days at January 31, 1995.  Inventories
increased by $1.2 million since January 31, 1995 primarily to support the
increased level of new orders.  Accrued employee compensation and benefits has
decreased by $1.4 million since year-end primarily due to incentive
compensation benefit payments relating to fiscal year 1995 performance.

On February 21, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to 1,000,000 additional shares of its common stock.  At the
end of the first quarter of fiscal year 1996, the Company repurchased 500,000
shares of the Company's common stock at an average price per share of $19.63 or
a total of approximately $9.8 million.  As of April 29, 1995 a total of 578,700
shares are currently remaining under the repurchase authorizations.
