NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
June 30, 1996


Note 1:   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for
presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  The information furnished reflects all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair summary of the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. 
The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto filed with Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

Note 2:   Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share amounts for all periods reflect a 5% stock dividend
paid on June 7, 1996. Earnings per share for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1996 reflect the issuance of 5.75 million shares
of common stock completed in September 1995.

Note 3: Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current presentation.

Note 4: Restructuring Expense

The Company recorded a pretax restructuring charge of $24,280,000
($16,000,000 after tax) in the quarter ended June 30, 1996. These
expenses relate to a reduction in the Company's worldwide workforce of
approximately 1,300 employees resulting, in part, from the worldwide
slowdown in the demand for tantalum and multi-layer ceramic capacitors
and the economic downturn in Germany. The Company also intends to close
or downsize several facilities in North America and Europe. 

The restructuring expenses occurred in the Company's "higher tax rate"
countries which lowered the Company's effective tax rate for the quarter
to 4%.   <PAGE>
 
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

Net sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 decreased
$41,959,000 or 13.3.% and $41,583,000 or 6.6%, respectively, from  the
comparable periods of the prior year. The decrease in net sales is
indicative of the worldwide slowdown in the demand for tantalum and
multi-layer ceramic capacitors, the economic downturn in Germany, where
a significant portion of the Company's products are sold, and the abrupt
worldwide decline in demand in the personal computer and
telecommunications markets, which started at the end of last year.

In addition, the strengthening  of the U.S. dollar against foreign
currencies for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 in comparison to the prior
year's quarter resulted in a decrease in reported sales of $9,163,000.
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the strengthening of the U.S.
dollar against foreign currencies in comparison to the prior year period
resulted in a decrease in reported sales of $7,685,000.

Income statement captions as a percentage of sales and the effective tax
rates were as follows:

                           Three Months Ended  Six Months Ended
                                 June 30           June 30
                              1996      1995     1996    1995
                             ------    ------   ------  ------ 
Costs of products sold        73.7      73.5     73.1    74.0

Net earnings                   1.4       7.8      5.4     7.5
     
Costs of products sold for the quarter and six months ended June  30,
1996 were 73.7% and 73.1%, of net sales, respectively, as compared to
73.5% and 74.0%, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. The
increase in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 is due to the significant
decrease in net sales as compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease
for the six months ended June 30, 1996, despite the significant decrease
in net sales, reflects an increase in production in Israel where labor
costs are lower than in most other regions in which Vishay manufactures
and the continued shift of sales mix to higher margin products.

Israel government grants, recorded as a reduction of costs of products
sold, were $2,061,000 and $4,201,000 for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to $3,351,000 and $5,940,000 for
the comparable prior year periods. Future grants and other incentive
programs offered to the Company by the Israeli government will likely
depend on the Company's continuing to increase capital investment and the
number of the Company's employees in Israel. Deferred income at June 30,
1996 relating to Israeli government grants was $46,799,000 as compared to
$30,849,000 at December 31, 1995.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1996 were 14.1% and 13.5% of net sales,
respectively, as compared to 12.8% and 13.0% for the comparable prior
year periods. The percentages in 1996 are higher due to the significant
decrease in net sales. However, in terms of absolute dollar amounts,
selling, general and administrative expenses have decreased by $2,057,000
and $2,802,000, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods.

The Company recorded a pretax restructuring charge of $24,280,000
($16,000,000 after tax) in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 in connection
with a reduction of approximately 1,300 employees in the Company's
worldwide workforce. The Company also intends to close or downsize
several facilities in North America and Europe.

The components of the restructuring expenses are as follows:

     Severance pay                           $20,919,000
     Machinery and equipment writeoff          3,098,000
     Other                                       263,000
                                             -----------
                              Total          $24,280,000
                                             =========== 

The Company has paid out $411,000 of severance as of June 30, 1996. The
Company is scheduled to pay $12,385,000 of severance by December 31, 1996
with the remaining $8,123,000 to be paid by March 31, 1997.  The Company
has sufficient lines of credit to fund these payments. The machinery and
equipment will be disposed of immediately.

When fully implemented, the restructuring should reduce the Company's
costs annually by approximately $25,000,000. These savings will be
partially realized in 1996 and the remainder during 1997.             

Interest costs decreased by $4,004,000 and $8,030,000 for the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1996 from the comparable prior year periods
primarily as a result of the net proceeds of $230,279,000 from a common
stock offering completed in September 1995 which were used, in large
part, to prepay bank indebtedness.

Other income(expense) increased by $1,327,000 and $1,181,000 for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to
the prior years' periods. The increase is due to  interest income of
$800,000 and $991,000 and foreign exchange gains of $382,000 and
$225,000, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1996. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995  interest income
was $170,000 and $799,000 and foreign exchange losses were $578,000 and
$815,000, respectively.   

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was  25.2%
compared to 23.0% for the comparable prior year period. The effective tax
rate for calendar year 1995 was 24.6%. The lower tax rate for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996 was due primarily to the restructuring charges
recorded in higher tax rate countries.

The continuing effect of low tax rates in Israel (as compared to the
statutory rate in the United States) has been to increase net earnings by
$4,165,000 and $4,123,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, and $8,538,000 and $8,195,000 for the six month periods
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The period to period
increases are primarily a result of increased earnings for the Israeli
operations as a result of increased production. The more favorable
Israeli tax rates are applied to specific approved projects and normally
continue to be available for a period of ten years. New projects are
continually being introduced.

Financial Condition

Cash flows from operations were $48,670,000 for the six months  ended
June 30, 1996 compared to $52,229,000 for the prior year's period. Net
purchases of property and equipment for the six months ended June 30,
1996 were $77,546,000 compared to $86,004,000 in the prior year's period.
This  reflects the Company's on-going program to purchase additional
equipment for surface mount components. Net cash provided by financing
activities of $43,883,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 includes
borrowings used primarily to finance the additions to property and
equipment.

The Company's financial condition at June 30, 1996 is strong, with a
current ratio of 2.86 to 1. The Company's ratio of long-term debt (less
current portion) to stockholders' equity was .27 to 1 at June 30, 1996
and .25 at December 31, 1995. 

Management believes that available sources of credit, together with cash
expected to be generated from operations, will be sufficient to satisfy
the Company's anticipated financing needs for working capital and capital
expenditures during the next twelve months.

Inflation

Normally, inflation does not have a significant impact on the Company's
operations.  The Company's products are not generally sold on long-term
contracts.  Consequently, selling prices, to the extent permitted by
competition, can be adjusted to reflect cost increases caused by
inflation.

Safe Harbor Statement

From time to time, information provided by the Company, including but not
limited to statements in this report, or other statements made by or on
behalf of the Company, may contain "forward-looking" information within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Such statements involve a number
of risks and uncertainties.  The Company's actual results could differ
materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.  The
cautionary statements set forth below identify important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any
forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company.

          The Company offers a broad variety of products and services to
          its customers.  Changes in demand for, or in the mix of,
          products and services comprising revenues could cause actual
          operating results to vary from those expected.

          The Company's future operating results are dependent, in part,
          on its ability to develop, produce and market new and
          innovative products, to convert existing products to surface
          mount devices and to customize certain products to meet
          customer requirements.  There are numerous risks inherent in
          this complex process, including rapid technological changes and
          the need for the Company to timely bring to market new products
          and applications to meet customers' changing needs.

          The Company operates in a highly competitive environment, which
          includes significant competitive pricing pressures and intense
          competition for entry into new markets.

          A slowdown in demand for passive electronic components  or
          recessionary trends in the global economy in general or in
          specific countries or regions where the Company sells the bulk
          of its products, such as the U.S., Germany, France or the
          Pacific Rim, could adversely impact the Company's results of
          operations.

          Much of the orders in the Company's backlog may be canceled by
          its customers without penalty.  Customers may on occasion
          double and triple order components from multiple sources to
          insure timely delivery when backlog is particularly long. The
          Company's results of operations may be adversely impacted if
          customers were to cancel a material portion of such orders.

          Approximately 50% of the Company's revenues are derived from
          operations and sales outside the United States.  As a result,
          currency exchange rate fluctuations, inflation, changes in
          monetary policy and tariffs, potential changes in laws and
          regulations affecting the Company's business in foreign
          jurisdictions, trade restrictions or prohibitions,
          intergovernmental disputes, increased labor costs and reduction
          or cancellation of government grants, tax benefits or other
          incentives could impact the Company's results of operations.

          Specifically, as a result of the increased production by the
          Company's operations in Israel over the past several years, the
          low tax rates in Israel (as compared to the statutory rates in
          the U.S.) have had the effect of increasing the Company's net
          earnings.  In addition, the Company takes advantage of certain
          incentive programs in Israel in the form of grants designed to
          increase employment in Israel.  Any significant increase in the
          Israeli tax rates or reduction or elimination of any of the
          Israeli grant programs could have an adverse impact on the
          Company's results of operations.

          The Company may experience underutilization of certain plants
          and factories in high labor cost regions and capacity
          constraints in plants and factories located in low labor cost
          regions, resulting initially in production inefficiencies and
          higher costs.  Such costs include those associated with work
          force reductions and plant closings in the higher labor cost
          regions and start-up expenses, manufacturing and construction
          delays, and increased depreciation costs in connection with the
          start of production in new plants and expansions in lower labor
          cost regions.  Moreover, capacity constraints may limit the
          Company's ability to continue to meet demand for any of the
          Company's products.

          When the Company restructures its operation in response to
          changing economic conditions, particularly in Europe, labor
          unrest or strikes may occur, which could have an adverse effect
          on the Company.

          The Company's results of operations may be adversely impacted
          by (i) difficulties in obtaining raw materials, supplies,
          power, natural resources and any other items needed for the
          production of the Company's products; (ii) the effects of
          quality deviations in raw materials, particularly tantalum
          powder, palladium and ceramic dielectric materials; and (iii)
          the effects of significant price increases for tantalum or
          palladium, or an inability to obtain adequate supplies of
          tantalum or palladium from the limited number of suppliers.

          The Company's historic growth in revenues and net earnings have
          resulted in large part from its strategy to expand through
          acquisitions.  However, there is no assurance that the Company
          will find or consummate transactions with suitable acquisition
          candidates in the future.

          The Company's strategy also focuses on the reduction of
          selling, general and administrative expenses through the
          integration or elimination of redundant sales offices and
          administrative functions at acquired companies and achievement
          of significant production cost savings through the transfer and
          expansion of manufacturing operations to lower cost regions
          such as Israel, Mexico, Portugal and the Czech Republic.  The
          Company's inability to achieve any of these goals could have an
          adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

          The Company may be adversely affected by the costs and other
          effects associated with (i) legal and administrative cases and
          proceedings (whether civil, such as environmental and product-related,
          or criminal); (ii) settlements, investigations, claims, and changes
          in those items; (iii) developments or assertions by or against the
          Company relating to intellectual property rights and intellectual
          property licenses; and (iv) adoption of new, or changes in, 
          accounting policies and practices and the application of such 
          policies and practices.

          The Company's results of operations may also be affected by (i)
          changes  within the Company's organization, particularly at the
          executive officer level, or in compensation and benefit plans;
          and (ii) the amount, type and cost of the financing which the
          Company maintains, and any changes to the financing.

          The inherent risk of environmental liability and remediation
          costs associated with the Company's manufacturing operations
          may result in large and unforseen liabilities.

          The Company's operations may be adversely impacted by (i) the
          effects of war or severe weather or other acts of God on the
          Company's operations, including disruptions at manufacturing
          facilities; (ii) the effects of a disruption in the Company's
          computerized ordering systems; and (iii) the effects of a
          disruption in the Company's communications systems.
