          Item 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

          This Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 25,
          1997 is being filed pursuant to Rule 15d-2 under the Securities
          Exchange Act of 1934 and contains only certified financial
          statements as required by Rule 15d-2.  Rule 15d-2 provides
          generally that, if a registrant files a registration statement
          under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which does not
          contain certified financial statements for the registrant's last
          full fiscal year (or for the life of the registrant if less than
          a full year), then the registrant shall, within 90 days of the
          effective date of the registration statement, file a special
          report furnishing certified financial statements for such last
          fiscal year or other period as the case may be.  Rule 15d-2
          further provides that such special financial report is to be
          filed under cover of the facing sheet appropriate for the annual
          report of the registrant.  Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation's
          Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-26897),
          declared effective July 9, 1997, did not contain the certified
          financial statements for the Registrant's last full fiscal year,
          that is, the fiscal year ended May 25, 1997.  Therefore, as
          required by Rule 15d-2, certified financial statements for the
          fiscal year ended May 25, 1997 are filed herewith.

                            Independent Auditors' Report



          The Board of Directors
          FSC Semiconductor Corporation:


          We  have   audited  the   accompanying  balance   sheet  of   FSC
          Semiconductor Corporation (the "Company") as of May 25, 1997, the
          combined balance  sheet  of  the FSC  Semiconductor  Business  of
          National Semiconductor Corporation (the "Business") as of May 26,
          1996 and  the related  consolidated  and combined  statements  of
          operations and equity  for each of  the years  in the  three-year
          period ended May 25,  1997.  These  financial statements are  the
          responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our  responsibility
          is to express an opinion on  these financial statements based  on
          our audits.

          We conducted  our audits  in accordance  with generally  accepted
          auditing standards.   Those standards  require that  we plan  and
          perform the audit  to obtain reasonable  assurance about  whether
          the financial statements are free  of material misstatement.   An
          audit includes examining,  on a test  basis, evidence  supporting
          the amounts  and disclosures  in the  financial statements.    An
          audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used  and
          significant estimates made by  management, as well as  evaluating
          the overall financial  statement presentation.   We believe  that
          our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

          The accompanying financial statements were prepared on the  basis
          of presentation as described in Note 1.  Prior to March 11, 1997,
          the statements  present  the  combined  assets,  liabilities  and
          business equity  and the  related combined  revenues less  direct
          expenses before taxes of the Business, and are not intended to be
          a complete  presentation  of the  Business'  financial  position,
          results of operations or cash flows.   The results of  operations
          before taxes are  not necessarily  indicative of  the results  of
          operations before  taxes that  would have  been recorded  by  the
          Company on a stand-alone basis.

          In our  opinion, the  accompanying financial  statements  present
          fairly, in  all  material respects,  the  consolidated  financial
          position of the Company as of May 25, 1997, the combined  assets,
          liabilities and business  equity of the  Business as  of May  26,
          1996, and the results of operations for each of the years in  the
          three year period ended May 25,  1997, on the basis described  in
          Note  1,  in  conformity   with  generally  accepted   accounting
          principles.

                            Notes to Financial Statements

                            May 25, 1997 and May 26, 1996


          (1) Background and Basis of Presentation

             Background
             FSC Semiconductor Corporation ("Fairchild Holdings" or the
                "Company") was incorporated on March 10, 1997 by National
                Semiconductor Corporation ("National Semiconductor").  On
                March 11, 1997, National Semiconductor consummated an
                Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization
                ("Recapitalization").  As part of the Recapitalization,
                National Semiconductor transferred all of the capital
                stock of Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation ("Fairchild")
                and approximately $12.8 million in cash to Fairchild
                Holdings in exchange for shares of Fairchild Holdings' 12%
                Series A Cumulative Compounding Preferred Stock, Fairchild
                Holdings' common stock and a promissory note in the
                principal amount of approximately $77 million.

             In addition, National Semiconductor transferred substantially
                all of the assets and liabilities of the Fairchild
                Semiconductor Business (the "Business") to Fairchild.  The
                Business was defined as the logic, discrete and memory
                divisions of National Semiconductor including flash memory
                but excluding public networks, programmable products and
                mil/aero products.  The Recapitalization was accounted for
                as a leveraged recapitalization, whereby the Company
                assumed the historical operating results of the Business.
                 The Company is headquartered in South Portland, Maine,
                and has manufacturing operations in South Portland, Salt
                Lake City, Utah, Cebu, the Philippines, and Penang,
                Malaysia.

             Basis of Presentation
             The consolidated financial statements at May 25, 1997, and
                for the period from March 11 through May 25, 1997, include
                the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly-
                owned subsidiary.

             Prior to March 11, 1997, the combined balance sheets reflect
                the assets and liabilities that were directly related to
                the Business as they were operated within National
                Semiconductor.  These balance sheets do not include
                National Semiconductor's corporate assets or liabilities
                not specifically identifiable to Fairchild.  National
                Semiconductor performed cash management on a centralized
                basis and processed related receivables and certain
                payables, payroll and other activity for Fairchild.  These
                systems did not track receivables, liabilities and cash
                receipts and payments on a business specific basis. 
                Accordingly, it was not practical to determine certain
                assets and liabilities associated with the Business;
                therefore, such assets and liabilities were not included
                in the accompanying balance sheet.  Given these
                constraints, certain supplemental cash flow information is
                presented in lieu of a statement of cash flows.  (See Note
                16.).  The financial condition and cash flows may have
                been significantly different if not for the centralized
                cash management system of National Semiconductor.

             The combined statements of operations included all revenues
                and costs attributable to the Business including an
                allocation of the costs of shared facilities and overhead
                of National Semiconductor.  In addition, certain costs
                incurred at Fairchild plants for the benefit of other
                National Semiconductor product lines were allocated from
                Fairchild to National Semiconductor.  All of the
                allocations and estimates in the combined statements of
                operations were based on assumptions that management
                believes were reasonable under the circumstances. 
                However, these allocations and estimates are not
                necessarily


                                                    (Continued)

                            Notes to Financial Statements


                indicative of  the costs that  would have  resulted if  the
                Business had been operated on a stand alone basis.

             Transactions with National Semiconductor have been  identified
                in  the  financial   statements  as  transactions   between
                related parties to the extent practicable (See Note 12).

          (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

             Fiscal Year
             The  Company's fiscal year  ends on the  Sunday on or  nearest
                preceding May 31.

             Basis of Combination
             Commencing with the Recapitalization, the consolidated
                financial statements include the accounts of the Company
                and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

             Revenue Recognition
             Revenue from the sale of semiconductor products is recognized
                when shipped, with a provision for estimated returns and
                allowances recorded at the time of shipment.  Contract
                manufacturing revenues are recognized upon completion of
                respective stages of production, defined as wafer
                fabrication, sort, assembly and test.

             Related Party Activity
             In conjunction with the Recapitalization, Fairchild and
                National Semiconductor executed several agreements which
                govern the performance of manufacturing services by
                Fairchild on behalf of National Semiconductor and by
                National Semiconductor on behalf of Fairchild.  In
                addition, National Semiconductor provides a number of
                business support services to Fairchild to assist in
                Fairchild's transition to an independent business
                enterprise.

             Prior to the Recapitalization, the Business performed
                contract manufacturing services for National
                Semiconductor.  The revenues for these services are
                reflected at cost in the accompanying consolidated
                statements of operations.

             Manufacturing costs were generally apportioned between
                National Semiconductor and the Business product lines
                based upon budgeted and actual factory production loading.
                 Certain manufacturing costs (e.g., material costs) that
                were specifically identifiable with a particular product
                line were charged or credited directly without
                apportionment.

             National Semiconductor also performed manufacturing services
                for the Business and incurred other elements of cost of
                sales on behalf of the Business, including freight, duty,
                warehousing, and purchased manufacturing services from
                third party vendors.

             Shared or common costs, including certain general and
                administrative, sales and marketing, and research and
                development, have been allocated from National
                Semiconductor's corporate office, selling and marketing
                locations, and manufacturing sites to the Business or from
                the Business' plants to National Semiconductor product
                lines on a basis which is considered to fairly and
                reasonably reflect the utilization of the services
                provided to, or benefit obtained by, the business
                receiving the charge.  National Semiconductor had net
                interest income on a consolidated basis for all periods
                presented prior to the Recapitalization.  Although not
                material, these amounts have been allocated to the
                Business prior to the Recapitalization on the basis of net
                assets and are included in other (income) expense.

                                                                (Continued)

                            Notes to Financial Statements


             Inventories
             Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost, which
                approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis,
                or market.

             Property, Plant and Equipment
             Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. 
                Effective May 29, 1995, for new purchases, the Company
                calculates depreciation using the straight-line method for
                machinery and equipment placed in service on or after that
                date.  For purchases prior to May 29, 1995, the Company
                calculates depreciation using the 150 percent declining
                balance method.  Buildings are depreciated using the
                straight-line method.  The effect of the change was a
                decrease in depreciation expense of approximately $5.4
                million for 1996.

             In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
                Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
                121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
                and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," which
                requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in
                the event the carrying value of such assets exceeds the
                future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such
                assets.  SFAS No. 121 became effective in fiscal year 1997
                for the Company.  Adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a
                material impact on the Company's financial position or
                results of operations.

             Other Assets
             Other assets includes debt acquisition costs which represent
                costs incurred related to the issuance of the Company's
                long-term debt.  The costs are being amortized using the
                effective interest method over the related term of the
                borrowings, which ranges from five to ten years, and are
                included in interest expense.  Also included in other
                assets are mold and tooling costs.  Molds and tools are
                amortized over their expected useful lives, generally one
                to three years.

             Currencies and Foreign Currency Instruments
             The Company's functional currency for all operations
                worldwide is the U.S. dollar.  Accordingly, gains and
                losses from translation of foreign currency financial
                statements into U.S. dollars are included in current
                results.  Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency
                transactions are also included in current results.  The
                Company's policy is to utilize foreign exchange contracts
                when deemed necessary to minimize exposure to foreign
                currency exchange fluctuations.  Gains and losses on
                financial instruments that are intended to hedge an
                identifiable firm commitment are deferred and included in
                the measurement of the underlying transaction.  Gains and
                losses on hedges of anticipated transactions are deferred
                until such time as the underlying transactions are
                recognized or immediately when the transaction is no
                longer expected to occur.  The Company presently has only
                limited involvement with derivative financial instruments
                and does not use them for trading purposes.  The Company
                has entered into an interest rate swap agreement which is
                accounted for as a hedge of the obligation and,
                accordingly, the net swap settlement amount is accrued as
                an adjustment to interest expense in the period incurred
                (see Note 4).

             The aggregate net translation and transaction gain or loss
                was allocated by National Semiconductor for 1997, 1996 and
                1995 and was included in other (income) expense and was
                not significant.

                                                                (Continued)

                            Notes to Financial Statements


             Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
             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 liabilities at the date of the
                financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
                and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results
                could differ from those estimates.

             Income Taxes
             Upon the Recapitalization, the Company became responsible for
                its income taxes and will file its own income tax returns.
                 Therefore, the provision for income taxes included in the
                accompanying 1997 statement of operations is for the
                period March 11 through May 25, 1997.  Prior to the
                Recapitalization, the Business did not file separate
                income tax returns but rather was included in the income
                tax returns filed by National Semiconductor and its
                subsidiaries in various domestic and foreign
                jurisdictions. Therefore, no provision for income taxes
                has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated
                financial statements for the period May 27, 1996 through
                March 10, 1997 and for the years ended May 26, 1996 and
                May 28, 1995.

             Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability
                method.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and
                liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
                attributable to differences between the financial
                statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
                liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax
                assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
                rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
                which those temporary differences are expected to be
                recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets
                and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
                income in the period that includes the enactment date.

             Stock-Based Compensation
             The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
                Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
                Compensation," in 1997.  This standard gives entities the
                choice of recognizing stock-based compensation by adopting
                the new fair value method or to continue to measure
                compensation expense using the intrinsic value approach
                under Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25,
                "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."  The Company
                has chosen to account for stock-based compensation under
                APB No. 25. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock
                options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted
                market price of the Company's common stock at the date of
                the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire
                the stock.  No compensation cost has been recognized for
                this plan in the accompanying financial statements.

             Certain 1996 and 1995 balances have been reclassified to
                conform with the current year presentation.

                            Notes to Financial Statements


             On March 11, 1997, the Company entered into a Senior Credit
                Facilities agreement with a syndicate of financial
                institutions.  The Senior Credit Facilities consist of a
                Senior Term Facility in an aggregate principal amount of
                $120 million, and a $75 million Revolving Credit Facility.
                 No amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit
                Facility at May 25, 1997.

             Borrowings under the Senior Term Facility are segregated into
                two tranches: $75 million of Tranche A Term Loans and $45
                million of Tranche B Term Loans.  The Tranche A Term Loans
                are scheduled to mature on March 11, 2002 and are subject
                to quarterly principal payments ranging from $2.5 million
                to $6.5 million, commencing May 30, 1997.  The Tranche B
                Term Loans are scheduled to mature on March 11, 2003 and
                are subject to quarterly principal payments of $250,000
                through February 2002, commencing May 30, 1997, with an
                additional four quarterly payments of $10 million due
                through March 11, 2003, commencing May 31, 2002.  The
                Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on March
                11, 2002.

             The Senior Credit Facilities accrue interest based on either
                the bank's base rate or the Eurodollar rate, at the option
                of the Company.  The interest rate was 8.5% for the
                Tranche A term loan and 9.0% for the Tranche B term loan
                at May 25, 1997.  The Company pays a commitment fee of
                0.5% per annum of the unutilized commitments under the
                Revolving Credit Agreement.  All borrowings are secured by
                substantially all assets of the Company.

             On March 11, 1997, Fairchild issued $300 million of 10-1/8%
                Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") at face value. 
                The Notes pay interest on March 15 and September 15 of
                each year commencing September 15, 1997.  The Notes are
                unsecured and are subordinated to all existing and future
                senior indebtedness of the Company.  The Notes are
                redeemable by the Company, in whole or in part, on or
                after March 15, 2002 at redemption prices ranging from
                100% to approximately 105% of the principal amount.  The
                Company is required to redeem $150 million principal
                amount of Notes on March 15, 2005 and $75 million
                principal amount of Notes on March 15, 2006 and 2007,
                respectively, in each case at a redemption price of 100%
                of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the date
                of redemption.

             The payment of principal and interest on the Senior Credit
                Facilities and the Notes is fully and unconditionally
                guaranteed by Fairchild Holdings.  Fairchild Holdings
                currently conducts no business and has no significant
                assets other than the capital stock of Fairchild.  No
                subsidiaries of Fairchild Holdings are guarantors on
                either the Senior Credit Facilities or the Notes. 
                Included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at
                May 25, 1997 is approximately $76.2 million of net assets
                related to the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

                                                                (Continued)

                            Notes to Financial Statements


             On March 11, 1997, the Company issued a promissory note ("PIK
                Note") in the principal amount of approximately $77
                million to National Semiconductor as part of the
                consideration for all of the capital stock of Fairchild. 
                The PIK Note bears interest at 11.74% per annum and
                matures in 2008.  To the extent any Fairchild Holdings
                senior indebtedness prohibits Fairchild Holdings from
                paying interest due on the PIK Note in cash, such interest
                shall be paid by adding such interest to the then
                outstanding principal amount of the PIK Note.  Such amount
                shall accrue interest as a portion of the principal amount
                of the PIK Note from the applicable interest payment date.
                 The PIK Note is subordinated to both the Senior Credit
                Facilities and the Notes.

             The Senior Credit Facilities, the indenture under which the
                Notes were issued, and the PIK Note contain certain
                restrictive financial and operating covenants, including
                limitation on the payment of dividends, with which the
                Company was in compliance with at May 25, 1997.

             Aggregate maturities of long-term debt for each of the five
                succeeding years are as follows:

                                                     (In millions)

                      1998                              $ 11.0
                      1999                                11.0
                      2000                                14.0
                      2001                                17.0
                      2002                                27.0

             In May 1997, the Company entered into an interest rate swap
                agreement to reduce the impact of changes in interest
                rates on its Senior Credit Facilities described above. 
                The interest rate under the swap agreement fixed the
                interest rate on 50% of the Senior Term Facility at 9.26%
                for the Tranche A term loan and 9.76% for the Tranche B
                term loan.  In accordance with certain covenants under the
                Senior Credit Facilities, the Company has entered into its
                existing interest rate swap arrangement with BankBoston
                through May 31, 2000.  The notional face amount of the
                interest rate swap agreement is $60.0 million initially,
                decreasing to $42.0 million at May 31, 2000.  The swap
                agreement is cancelable without penalty at the option of
                the Company after May 26, 1999.

             The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of
                nonperformance by the other party to the interest rate
                swap agreement, however, the Company does not anticipate
                nonperformance under the agreement.

          (5) Income Taxes

             As discussed in Note 1, the Business did not pay income taxes
                directly or file separate income tax returns prior to the
                Recapitalization, and therefore, no provision for income
                taxes has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated
                financial statements for the period ended March 10, 1997
                and for the years ended May 26, 1996 and May 28, 1995. 
                The provision for income taxes included in the
                accompanying 1997 consolidated statement of operations is
                for the period March 11 through May 25, 1997, and
                consisted of the following:

                                                 Current  Deferred    Total
                                                        (In millions)

                Federal                          $    -      1.9       1.9
                State                                 -      0.5       0.5
                Foreign                             1.4       -        1.4

                                                 $  1.4      2.4       3.8

             For the period from March 11 through May 25, 1997, the
                domestic and foreign components of earnings before income
                taxes were $7.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively. 
                Income tax expense for that period amounted to $3.8
                million.  The actual expense for 1997 differs from the
                "expected" tax expense (computed by applying the statutory
                U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 35% to earnings before
                income taxes) as follows:

                Computed "expected" tax expense                       $ 3.4
                State taxes, net of federal benefit                     0.4

                                                                      $ 3.8

             As discussed in Note 1, the Recapitalization was accounted
                for as a leveraged recapitalization whereby the Company
                retained the carrying value of assets and liabilities of
                the Business.  For income tax reporting purposes, the
                Recapitalization was treated as a taxable transaction
                resulting in a step up of the assets and liabilities to
                fair value at March 11, 1997.  As such, gross deferred tax
                assets of $53.7 million and related valuation allowance of

                            Notes to Financial Statements


             At May 25, 1997, deferred income tax assets result from
                temporary differences in the recognition of income and
                expense for tax and financial reporting purposes.  The
                sources and tax effects of these temporary differences are
                presented below:

          Deferred tax assets:
            Reserves, primarily for distributor allowances,
              customers returns and inventory                        $ 2.0
            Accrued expenses                                           4.1
            Additional purchase price of assets acquired from
              National Semiconductor:
              Plant and equipment                                     19.9
              Intangibles, primarily intellectual property and
                software                                              25.3
                                                                      45.2
                   Total gross deferred tax assets                    51.3

            Less valuation allowance                                  30.7

                   Net deferred tax assets                           $20.6

             In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the
                Company considers whether it is more likely than not that
                some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
                realized.

             Deferred income taxes have not been provided for the
                undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign
                subsidiaries which aggregated approximately $1.1 million
                at May 25, 1997.  The Company plans to reinvest all such
                earnings for future expansion.  If such earnings were
                distributed, taxes would be increased by approximately
                $0.2 million.

          (6) Stock-Based Compensation

             Effective March 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock
                Option Plan (the "Plan"), which is described below. 
                Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
                123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires
                companies to either (a) record an expense related to its
                stock option plans based on the estimated fair value of
                stock options as of the date of the grant or (b) disclose
                pro forma net income and earnings per share data as if the
                Company had recorded an expense.  The Company has elected
                to continue to apply APB Opinion 25 and related
                Interpretations in accounting for this plan and to comply
                with the SFAS No. 123 disclosure requirements. 
                Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for
                its stock option plan in the accompanying financial
                statements.  Had compensation cost for such plan been
                determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for
                awards under these plans, pro forma 1997 revenue less
                direct and allocated expenses and income taxes would
                approximate reported 1997 revenue less direct and
                allocated expenses and income taxes of $16.7 million.

                                                                (Continued)

             The weighted average fair value per share of options granted
                during 1997 was $.15.  The Company estimates the fair
                value of each option as of the date of grant using a
                Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted
                average assumptions:

                     Expected volatility                       42.1%
                     Dividend yield                              -  
                     Risk-free interest rate                   6.17%
                     Expected life                         2.6 years
                     Forfeiture rate                              5%

             Under the Plan, the Company may grant options for up to
                821,000 shares of Class A common stock.  Options granted
                under the Plan may be either (a) options intended to
                constitute incentive stock options ("ISOs") under the
                Internal Revenue Code or (b) non-qualified stock options.
                 Options may be granted under the Plan to regular salaried
                officers and key employees of the Company and its
                subsidiaries.

             The purchase price of each option granted under the Plan
                shall be as determined by a committee of the Board of
                Directors (the "Committee"), but shall in no instance be
                less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant.
                 The maximum term of any option shall be ten years from
                the date of grant for incentive stock options and ten
                years and one day from the date of grant for non-qualified
                stock options.  Options granted under the Plan are
                exercisable at the determination of the Committee,
                currently vesting ratably over approximately 4.5 years. 
                Employees receiving options under the Plan may not receive
                in any one year period options to purchase more than
                50,000 shares of common stock.

             A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plan as
                of May 25, 1997, and changes during the year then ending
                is presented below:

          (7) Retirement Plans

             Effective March 11, 1997, the Company sponsors the Fairchild
                Personal Savings and Retirement Plan (the "Retirement
                Plan"), a contributory savings plan which qualifies under
                section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The
                Retirement Plan covers substantially all employees in the
                United States.  The Company provides a matching
                contribution equal to 50% of employee elective deferrals
                up to a maximum of 6% of an employee's annual
                compensation.  The Company also maintains a non-qualified
                Benefit Restoration Plan, under which employees who have
                otherwise exceeded annual IRS limitations for elective
                deferrals can continue to contribute to their retirement
                savings.  The Company matches employee elective deferrals
                to the Benefit Restoration Plan on the same basis as the
                Retirement Plan.  Total expense recognized under these
                plans was $1.1 million for the year ended May 25, 1997.

             Employees in Malaysia participate in a defined contribution
                plan.  The Company has funded accruals for this plan in
                accordance with statutory regulations in Malaysia.  The
                net pension cost for the year ended May 25, 1997 and the
                accrued pension cost at May 25, 1997 are not material to
                the financial statements.

             Employees in the Philippines participate in a defined benefit
                plan that was assumed by the Company from National
                Semiconductor as part of the Recapitalization.  The
                benefits are based on years of service and a multiple of
                the employee's final monthly salary.  The Company's
                funding policy is to contribute annually the amount
                necessary to maintain the plan on an actuarially sound
                basis.  Contributions are intended to provide not only for
                benefits attributed to service to date but also for those
                expected to be earned in the future.  The net pension cost
                for the year ended May 25, 1997 and the accrued pension
                cost at May 25, 1997 are not material to the financial
                statements.

             Prior to the Recapitalization, employees of the Business
                participated in several National Semiconductor retirement,
                employee benefit, and incentive plans.  No liabilities
                related to retirement and similar plans, other than those
                disclosed above, were assumed by the Company.

          (8) Lease Commitments

             Rental expense related to certain facilities and equipment of
                the Company's plants was $5.0 million, $4.8 million, and
                $3.0 million for the fiscal years ended 1997, 1996 and
                1995, respectively.

             Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating
                leases are as follows:

          (9) Redeemable Preferred Stock

             Concurrent with the Recapitalization, the Company authorized
                70,000 shares of redeemable preferred stock at a par value
                of $.01, all of which are designated as 12% Series A
                cumulative compounding preferred stock.  The redeemable
                preferred stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share and
                is entitled to annual dividends when, as and if declared,
                which dividends will be cumulative, whether or not earned
                or declared, and will accrue at a rate of 12%, compounding
                annually.  At May 25, 1997, 70,000 shares were issued and
                outstanding.  See Note 10.

             The redeemable preferred stock is mandatorily redeemable in
                2009.  The Company may optionally redeem, in whole or in
                part, the redeemable preferred stock at any time at a
                price per share of $1,000, plus accrued and unpaid
                dividends to the date of redemption.

             At the option of the Company, the redeemable preferred stock
                may be exchanged for junior subordinated debentures of the
                Company.  The face value of such junior subordinated
                debentures shall be $1,000 per share.  Their maturity date
                will be the same as the mandatory redemption date of the
                redeemable preferred stock, and they shall bear interest
                at a rate equal to the lesser of 12% and the maximum
                interest rate permitted to be deducted as accrued under
                the relevant provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
                1986.

          (10) Common Equity

             Concurrent with the Recapitalization, the Company authorized
                60,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $.01
                per share, divided into two classes consisting of
                30,000,000 shares of Class A stock and 30,000,000 shares
                of Class B stock.  The holders of Class A stock are
                entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all
                matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders.  Except
                as required by law, the holders of Holdings Class B stock
                have no voting rights.  A holder of either class of common
                stock may convert any or all of his shares into an equal
                number of shares of the other class of common stock
                provided that in the case of a conversion from Class B
                stock, which is nonvoting, into Class A stock, which is
                voting, such conversion would be permitted only to the
                extent that the holder of shares to be converted would be
                permitted under applicable law to hold the total number of
                shares of Class A stock which would be held after giving
                effect to the conversion.  At May 25, 1997, 7,191,120
                shares of Class A and 8,408,880 shares of Class B common
                stock were issued and outstanding.

             On March 11, 1997, National Semiconductor consummated the
                Recapitalization under which the following transactions
                occurred:

                (i) National Semiconductor, pursuant to an Asset Purchase
                    Agreement, transferred all of the assets and
                    liabilities of the Business to Fairchild and its
                    subsidiaries in exchange for demand purchase notes of
                    Fairchild and its subsidiaries in the aggregate
                    principal amount of $401.6 million (the "Purchase Price
                    Notes");

                (ii)     National Semiconductor transferred all of the
                    capital stock of Fairchild and approximately $12.8
                    million in cash to the Company in exchange for shares
                    of redeemable preferred stock, shares of Class A voting
                    and Class B non-voting common stock, and a promissory
                    PIK Note of the Company in the principal amount of
                    approximately $77.0 million;
                                                                (Continued)

                (iii)    The Company issued redeemable preferred stock and
                    common stock in the aggregate amount of approximately
                    $65.0 million;

                (iv)     The Company contributed cash in the amount of
                    approximately $77.8 million to the capital of
                    Fairchild;

                (v) Fairchild borrowed $120.0 million under term bank loans
                    and issued $300.0 million of 10 1/8% Senior
                    Subordinated Notes due 2007 (as described in Note 4). 
                    The proceeds from these borrowings were used to repay
                    the Purchase Price Notes and certain debt acquisition
                    costs as described in Note 2.

             The transaction was accounted for as a leveraged
                recapitalization whereby the Company assumed the
                historical operating results of the Business. 
                Accordingly, the repayment of the Purchase Price Notes of
                $401.6 and issuance of the PIK Note of $77.0 million were
                included in the statements of equity as a distribution to
                National Semiconductor by Fairchild and the Company,
                respectively.

          (11) Restructuring

             In June 1996, National Semiconductor announced a
                restructuring of its operations and the intent to pursue a
                sale or partial financing of the Business.  In connection
                with the restructuring, the Business recorded a $5.3
                million non-recurring charge related to work force
                reductions.  During the year ended May 25, 1997, $5.3
                million of severance was paid to terminated employees.

          (12) Related Party Transactions

             Related party activity between the Company and National
                Semiconductor is summarized as follows:

                            Notes to Financial Statements


          (13) Contingencies

             The Company's facilities in South Portland, Maine, Salt Lake
                City, Utah, Cebu, Philippines, and Penang, Malaysia have
                ongoing remediation projects to respond to certain
                releases of hazardous substances that occurred prior to
                the Recapitalization.  Pursuant to the Asset Purchase
                Agreement, National Semiconductor has agreed to indemnify
                the Company for the future costs of these projects.  The
                costs incurred to respond to these conditions were not
                material to the combined financial statements of the
                Business during fiscal years 1997, 1996 and 1995.

             In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company is
                subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims,
                including proceedings under laws and regulations related
                to environmental and other matters.  All such matters are
                subject to uncertainties and outcomes that are not
                predictable with assurance.  Consequently, the Company is
                unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of
                monetary liability or financial impact with respect to
                these matters at May 25, 1997.  It is management's opinion
                that after final disposition, any monetary liability or
                financial impact to the Company would not be material to
                the Company's financial position, or annual results of
                operations or cash flows.

          (14) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

             The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts
                payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value
                because of the short maturity of these instruments.

             The fair value of the Company's long-term debt instruments
                are based on the amount of future cash flows associated
                with each instrument discounted using the Company's
                current borrowing rate for similar debt instruments of
                comparable maturity.  The fair value of the Senior Credit
                Facilities approximates the carrying value due to the
                variable interest cost on these instruments.  At May 25,
                1997, the fair value of the Notes and the PIK Note
                approximates the carrying value due to the proximity of
                the issuance date of these instruments to the current
                reporting date.

             The fair value of interest rate swaps is the amount at which
                they could be settled, based on estimates from dealers.
                The amount of payment required to settle outstanding
                interest rate swaps at May 25, 1997 approximated $0.2
                million.

          (15) Industry and Geographic Segment Information

             The Company operates in one industry segment and is engaged
                in the design, development, manufacture and marketing of a
                wide variety of semiconductor products for the
                semiconductor industry and original equipment
                manufacturers.  The Company operates in three main
                geographic areas.  In the information that follows, sales
                include local sales and exports made by operations within
                each area.  To control costs, a substantial portion of the
                Company's products are transported between various
                facilities in the Americas, Asia and Europe in the process
                of being manufactured and sold.  Accordingly, it is not
                meaningful to present interlocation transfers between the
                Company's facilities on a stand alone basis.  Sales to
                unaffiliated customers have little correlation with the
                location of manufacture.  It is, therefore, not meaningful
                to present operating profit by geographic area.

                                                                (Continued)

                            Notes to Financial Statements


             The Company conducts a substantial portion of its operations
                outside of the U.S. and is subject to risks associated
                with non-U.S. operations, such as political risks,
                currency controls and fluctuations, tariffs, import
                controls and air transportation.

          (16) Supplemental Cash Flow Information

             As described in Note 1, National Semiconductor's cash
                management system was not designed to trace centralized
                cash and related financing transactions to the specific
                cash requirements of the Business.  In addition, National
                Semiconductor's corporate transaction systems are not
                designed to track receivables and certain liabilities and
                cash receipts and payments on a business specific basis. 
                Given these constraints, the following data are presented
                to facilitate analysis of key components of cash flow
                activity:

           Cash and cash equivalents at end of year $40.7      -       -  

             Cash paid for interest by the Company totaled $0.1 million
                for the period from March 11, 1997 through May 25, 1997. 
                The Business did not make any cash payments for interest
                prior to March 11, 1997, as discussed in note 2.  No cash
                payments were made for income taxes for any period
                presented.

             During the year ended May 25, 1997, the Company issued a note
                to National Semiconductor in the principal amount of
                approximately $77.0 million as additional purchase
                consideration for the capital stock of Fairchild.  The
                Company recorded the note as an increase to long-term debt
                and accumulated deficit.  For the period from March 11
                through May 25, 1997, the Company accumulated dividends on
                the redeemable preferred stock of approximately $1.8
                million.  The Company recorded the accumulated dividends
                as an increase to the carrying value of the redeemable
                preferred stock and accumulated deficit.

             *  Net financing provided from (to) National Semiconductor
                does not necessarily represent the cash flows of the
                Business, or the timing of such cash flows, had it
                operated on a stand alone basis.
