NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 1998


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, 1997.

Note 2: Earnings Per Share

The number of shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per common share
was 64,329,000 in 1998 and 64,313,000 in 1997. The number of shares used in the
calculation of diluted earnings per common share was 64,408,000 in 1998 and
64,364,000 in 1997. Options to purchase 1,160,000 shares of common stock at
prices ranging from $24.03 to $43.19 per share were outstanding during 1998 and
1997, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings
per share because the options' exercise price was greater than the average 
market price of the common shares. Earnings per share amounts for all periods 
presented reflect a 5% stock dividend paid on June 9, 1997.

Note 3: Acquisitions

On March 2, 1998, the Company completed its purchase of 80.4% of the capital
stock of Siliconix Incorporated (NASDAQ:SILI) and 100% of the capital stock of
TEMIC Semiconductor GmbH for approximately $500,000,000 in cash. TEMIC's and
Siliconix' businesses involve the design, manufacture, and sale of integrated
circuits ( the IC Division) and discrete active components. On March 4, 1998,
the Company sold the IC Division for approximately $110,000,000. The discrete
active components business is conducted primarily in the United States, Germany,
Austria, and Asia.

The purchase of TEMIC and Siliconix("TEMIC") was funded from the Company's $1.1
billion revolving credit facilities made available to Vishay on March 2, 1998.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
Under purchase accounting, the assets and liabilities of Temic and Siliconix are
required to be adjusted from historical amounts to their estimated fair values.
Purchase accounting adjustments have 
<PAGE>   8
been preliminarily estimated by management based upon currently available
information. There can be no assurance, however, that estimated adjustments
represent the final purchase accounting adjustments that will be ultimately
determined. Management is waiting for the results of appraisals and other
information that will be required to determine the final purchase allocation.

The results of operations of TEMIC and Siliconix have been included in the
Company's results from March 1, 1998. Excess of cost over the fair value of
assets acquired is approximately $106,059,000 and is being amortized on a
straight-line method over an estimated useful life of forty years.

In July 1997, the Company purchased 65% of the common stock of Lite-On Power
Semiconductor Corporation (LPSC), a Republic of China (Taiwan) company, for
$130,000,000 in cash and stock appreciation rights with a fair value of
$8,200,000. LPSC is a producer of discrete active electronic components with
manufacturing facilities in Taiwan, China and the United States. LPSC owns 40.2%
of Diodes, Inc.(AMEX:DIO), a public company traded on the American Stock
Exchange. The Company utilized existing credit facilities to finance the cash
portion ($130,000,000) of the purchase price. The acquisition was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting.

The results of operations of LPSC have been included in the Company's results
from July 1, 1997. Excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired
($110,978,000) is being amortized on a straight-line method over an estimated
useful life of forty years.

Had the TEMIC, Siliconix and LPSC acquisitions been made at the beginning of
1997, the Company's pro forma unaudited results for the three months ended March
31, 1998 and 1997 would have been (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results
that would have been attained had the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of
1997 or of future results.


Note 4: Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130). SFAS 130
establishes rules for the reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and
its components. SFAS 130 requires foreign currency translation adjustments and
the additional minimum pension liability, which prior to adoption were 
<PAGE>   9
reported separately in stockholders' equity, to be included in other
comprehensive income. The accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment
and the additional minimum pension liability as of December 31, 1997 have been
reclassified to conform to the requirements of SFAS 130. The adoption of SFAS
130 did not impact the Company's net income or total stockholders' equity. For
the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive
income-(loss) amounted to $5,280,000 and $(7,599,000), respectively.

</TABLE>

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased $75,482,000 or 27.6%
from the comparable period of the prior year. The increase in net sales relates
primarily to the acquisitions of TEMIC and LPSC. Net sales of TEMIC and LPSC for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were $49,947,000 and $18,783,000, respectively.
Exclusive of TEMIC and LPSC, net sales would have increased by $6,752,000 or
2.5%. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 in comparison to the prior year's quarter, resulted
in a decrease in reported sales of $11,230,000.

Costs of products sold for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was 75.6% of net
sales, as compared to 76.0% for the comparable prior year period. Gross profit,
as a percentage of net sales, for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased
from the comparable prior year period mainly due to the acquisition of TEMIC,
which recorded a gross profit margin of 28.2% for the month ended March 31,
1998.

Israeli government grants, recorded as a reduction of costs of products sold,
were $3,043,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $2,624,000
for the comparable prior year period. 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 March 31, 1998 relating to
Israeli government grants was $58,649,000 as compared to $59,300,000 at December
31, 1997.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31,
1998 were 13.2% of net sales, as compared to 12.4% for the comparable prior year
period. The increase in the selling, general and administrative expenses was
primarily due to the TEMIC acquisition, which is currently running at a rate of
18.3% of net 
<PAGE>   11
sales. Exclusive of TEMIC and LPSC`s selling, general, and administrative
expenses, the Company's expenses, as a percentage of net sales, would have been
12.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.

Interest costs increased by $4,527,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998,
from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the increase in bank
borrowings necessary to fund the TEMIC and LPSC acquisitions. The Company had
net borrowings of $390,000,000 and $130,000,000, respectively, from a group 
of banks to finance the acquisitions of TEMIC and LPSC.

Other income decreased by $6,026,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 as
compared to the prior year period primarily due to a noncash loss of $6,269,000
relating to a forward exchange contract (entered into to set the purchase price
in connection with the TEMIC acquisition, since the purchase price was
denominated in German Marks and payable in U.S. Dollars).

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was 29.0% as
compared to 27.2% for the comparable prior year period. The increase in the tax
rate for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was due primarily to the TEMIC
acquisition which recorded income 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 $3,370,000 and $1,520,000
for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The more favorable
Israeli tax rates are applied to specific approved projects and normally
continue to be available for a period of ten years.

Financial Condition

Cash flows from operations were $7,894,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998
compared to $48,547,000 for the prior year's period. The decrease in cash flows
from operations is attributable to: i) a decrease in net earnings for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1997;
ii) a decrease in accrued expenses due to payments on restructuring programs
instituted at Vishay over the last eighteen months and iii) an increase in
receivables. Net purchases of property and equipment for three months ended
March 31, 1998 were $34,165,000 compared to $18,477,000 in the prior year's
period. Net cash provided by financing activities of $530,364,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 includes approximately $500,000,000 used to finance
the acquisition of TEMIC. On April 8, 1998, the Company received approximately
$100,000,000 in connection with the sale of the IC Division of TEMIC and used
the proceeds to pay down debt.

The Company incurred restructuring expense of $12,605,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1997. Approximately $10,357,000 of this expense related to employee
termination costs covering approximately 324 employees located in Germany and
France. As of March 31, 1998, approximately 58 of such employees have been
<PAGE>   12
terminated and $2,100,000 of the termination costs have been paid. The
restructuring plan is expected to be completed by the end of 1998. In connection
with the acquisition by Vishay, Temic and Siliconix recorded restructuring
liabilities charges of $39,051,000. The balance of $28,665,000 is reflected in
the consolidated financial statements and is expected to be paid out in the next
year. At March 31, 1998, $54,711,000 of restructuring costs are included in
other accrued expenses.

The Company's financial condition at March 31, 1998 is strong, with a current
ratio of 2.97 to 1. The Company's ratio of long-term debt (less current portion)
to stockholders' equity was .91 to 1 at March 31, 1998 and .36 to 1 at December
31, 1997.

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 the need for the
                           Company to timely bring to market new products and
<PAGE>   13
                           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.

                  -        Many 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 57% 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 
<PAGE>   14
                           the Company's ability to continue to meet demand for
                           any of the Company's products.

                  -        When the Company restructures its operations 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. From time to time, when the
                           Company is in the process of pursuing a strategic
                           acquisition, the Company or the acquisition target
                           may feel compelled for securities and other legal
                           reasons to announce the potential acquisition or the
                           Company's desire to enter into a certain market prior
                           to entering into formal agreements. As a result,
                           there can be no assurance that the Company will
                           consummate any such acquisition.

                  -        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, the Czech
                           Republic, Taiwan and the People's Republic of China.
                           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.
<PAGE>   15
                  -        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.
