INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Stockholders of the
TEMIC Semiconductor Business
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of the TEMIC
Semiconductor Business ("TEMIC") of Daimler-Benz Aktiengesellschaft (as
described in Note 1 to the combined financial statements) as of December 31,
1997, and the related combined statements of revenues and expenses and cash flow
for the year then ended. These combined financial statements are the
responsibility of TEMIC's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
in Germany and the United States. 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 audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TEMIC as of December
31, 1997 and the result of their operations and their cash flows for the year
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in
Germany.
Generally accepted accounting principles in Germany vary in certain significant
respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(U.S. GAAP). Application of generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States would have affected the results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1997 and equity as of December 31, 1997, to the extent summarized
in Note 2 to the combined financial statements.

TEMIC SEMICONDUCTOR BUSINESS
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997
(ALL AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS OF DEUTSCHE MARKS (KDM) UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
BACKGROUND
The TEMIC Semiconductor Business ("TEMIC") comprises the following indirectly
majority owned entities of Daimler-Benz AG:
O TEMIC Semiconductor GmbH, Heilbronn, Germany ("TSG"), and subsidiaries
("German Group")
O Siliconix Incorporated, Santa Clara, USA, and subsidiaries
("Siliconix Group")
0 Dialogue Semiconductors Ltd., Swindon, UK, and subsidiaries
("Dialogue Group")
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. ("Vishay") of Malvern, Pennsylvania, USA and
certain subsidiaries have entered into a stock purchase agreement on the
acquisition of the TEMIC Semiconductor Business. The effective date for the
acquisition was February 28, 1998.
Ericsson Radio Systems AB ("Ericsson"), a minority shareholder of Dialogue
Semiconductor Limited, Swindon, UK ("Dialogue"), on February 23, 1998 exercised
a call option on the shares of Dialogue. The transaction with Ericsson occurred
subsequent to the purchase of TEMIC by Vishay. However, the Dialogue Group has
been included in the combined financial statements of the TEMIC Semiconductor
Business as of December 31, 1997. The net assets of the Dialogue Group under
German generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") were KDM 6,763 as of
December 31, 1997. The revenues in 1997 were KDM 75,352 and net income under
German GAAP was KDM 4, 115.
Additionally, Vishay has subsequently entered into a Share Sale and Transfer
Agreement with ATMEL Corporation, San Jose, USA ("ATMEL"). Vishay has agreed to
sell the integrated circuit division ("IC-Business") (which was part of the
acquired Semiconductor Business) to ATMEL. This transaction, once legally
effective, will become economically effective as of February 28, 1998.
The combined financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that
none of the above two sales would result in significant changes in the basis of
valuation. Therefore, any influences which could occur out of the two sales have
not been considered.

<PAGE>
The Directors of TSG exercised a call option to acquire the remaining 50 % of
the issued share capital of Matra MHS S.A., Nantes, France ("Matra MHS")for a
price of 1 French Franc with written notice dated December 30, 1997. According
to the contractual agreement, the shares may only be transferred at the earliest
after 60 days have elapsed since the option was exercised.
Matra MHS has recognized as revenue grants from the French Government totally
approximately French Francs 497 millions as of December 31, 1997. There is a
provision in the grant agreements that provides that the grants may be required
to be refunded to the French Government upon certain changes in ownership of
Matra MHS. The sale and the transfer of the shares of Matra MHS to Vishay and
ATMEL could result in the French Government requesting repayment of all or part
of these grants. The ultimate resolution of this matter can not be determined at
this time.

<PAGE>
1. DISCLOSURES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNDER GERMAN GAAP
The combined financial statements of TEMIC have been prepared in accordance with
the regulations of the German Commercial Code (HGB) under the assumption that
TSG is the parent entity.
COMBINED COMPANIES
The combined financial statements include all semiconductor companies which are
subsidiaries of TSG in accordance with Section 290 of the German Commercial Code
as well as subsidiaries of the Daimler-Benz Group that are industrially managed
(Siliconix Group and Dialogue Group). Significant investments in which TEMIC has
an ownership interest in the range of 20 % to 50 % ("associated companies") are
generally included using the equity method of accounting.
The combined financial statements of TEMIC include the following companies:
O TEMIC Semiconductor GmbH, Heilbronn/Germany, (until September 30, 1997
legally dependent part of TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic Gmbh,
Heilbronn/Germany) and the following subsidiaries
O TEMIC Semiconductors Itzehoe GmbH, Itzehoe/Germany
O TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic Ges.m.b.H., Vocklabruck/Austria
O TEMIC Semiconductors (Philippines) Inc., Manila/Philippines, (in
1997 legally dependent part of TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic
(Philippines) Inc., Manila/Philippines)
O Shanghai TEMIC Opto Semiconductors Company Ltd., Shanghai/China
O Shanghai TEMIC Discrete Semiconductors Company Ltd., Shanghai/China
O Matra MHS S.A., Nantes/France.
Dialogue Semiconductors Ltd., Swindon/Great Britain, and the following
subsidiaries:
O Dialog Semiconductor GmbH, Kirchheim-Teck/Germany
O Dialog Semiconductor Ltd., Swindon/Great Britain.
SiliconixInc., Santa Clara, USA, and the following subsidiaries:
O Siliconix Ltd., Bracknell/Great Britain
O Siliconix (Hong Kong) Ltd., Hong Kong/China
O Siliconix Technology C.V., Amsterdam/Netherlands
O TEMIC (S) Pte. Ltd., Singapore
O TEMIC Japan KK, Tokyo/Japan
O Siliconix (Taiwan) Ltd., Kaohsiung/Taiwan
0 TEMIC North America Inc., Basking Ridge/USA.

<PAGE>
Prior to October 1, 1997 TEMIC Semiconductor GmbH was not a separate entity and
therefore the net assets as well as the income and expenses had to be extracted
from the financial statements of TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic GmbH ("TEMIC
Gmbh"). The preparation of the combined financial statements require management
to make estimates and assumptions that effect the recorded balances.
TEMIC Semiconductors (Phils.) Inc., Manila ("TSP") was founded in September 1997
and its respective financial statements are included as of December 31, 1997.
Prior to that date the semiconductor segment of TEMIC TELEFUNKEN
microelectronics (Phils.) Inc., Manila ("TMP") was not a separate entity.
The Siliconix Group and the Dialogue Group are included in the combined
financial statements using the combined method, whereby the equity is shown
under minority interests of the Daimler-Benz Group because the shares are not
owned by TSG.
All assets and liabilities of Matra MHS are fully included in the combined
financial statements as of December 31, 1997. One half of the net assets are
included within equity and the remaining 50 % are included within minority
interests (Other).
Shanghai SIMCONIX Electronic Company Limited, Shanghai, China, has been included
in the combined financial statements using the equity method of accounting
(Exhibit 3). Due to their insignificance with respect to the financial and
earnings position eleven subsidiaries have not been included in the combined
financial statements in accordance with Section 296 Paragraph 2 German
Commercial Code (Exhibit 2).
PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION
The equity combination of the group is performed according to the book value
method as prescribed by German accounting standards. The carrying value of the
shares owned by the parent company is eliminated against the amount which these
shares represent in the equity of the subsidiary company. The elimination is
based on the values at the time of acquisition of shares or first combination of
the subsidiary in the combined financial statements.
9
<PAGE>
The combined subsidiaries' equity amounts related to shares not owned directly
or indirectly by TSG are disclosed as minority interests.
Investments in associated companies are carried in the combined balance sheet at
an amount which corresponds to the proportionate share of the associated
company's net equity.
Intercompany balance sheet and income statement balances and transactions have
been eliminated in combination.
METHODS OF ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION
The financial statements of the combined companies have generally been prepared
in accordance with the same methods of accounting and valuation for the entire
Group. In accordance with Section 312 paragraph 5 German Commercial Code the
accounting and valuation principles of Shanghia SIMCONIX Electronic Company
Ltd., an associated company which is included in the combined financial
statements using the equity method, have not been adjusted to the accounting and
valuation principles used in the combined financial statements.
Intangible assets acquired are stated at cost and are depreciated straight line
with useful lives between 4 and 5 years.
Property and equipment are stated at acquisition or manufacturing cost.
Depreciation is based on the underlying -- and permitted for tax purposes --
useful economic lives of the assets. When applying the accelerated method, a
changeover to the straight-line method occurs when higher depreciation expense
results using this method.
At the German companies, in calculating depreciation on movable fixed assets, an
entire year's depreciation is charged to additions recorded during the first
half of the year and a half year's depreciation is charged to additions made in
the second half of the year. Low-value assets with an individual purchase price
of up to DM 800 are fully depreciated in the year of purchase and are disclosed
as disposal.
The following useful lives and depreciation rates are used in calculating
ordinary depreciation:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Useful life (years) Depreciation method
------------------------ ---------------------------------
<S> <C> <C>
Additions to buildings up to 12.31.1988 40 straight line
Additions to buildings after 12.31.1988 25 straight line
Technical equipment and machinery 7-10 accelerated, straight line
EDP equipment and vehicle fleet 4 straight line
Tools 2 straight line
Factory and office equipment 6-7 straight line
</TABLE>
10
<PAGE>
Investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries and participations and marketable
securities are carried at cost or at a lower value appropriate at the balance
sheet date. Investments in associated companies are accounted for at equity.
Other long-term investments are carried at acquisition cost. Other loans which
are low- or non-interest bearing are stated at their present value.
Inventory is valued at the lower of acquisition or manufacturing cost or market,
cost being generally determined on the basis of an average or first-in,
first-out method. Manufacturing costs comprise direct material and labor and
applicable manufacturing overheads, including depreciation charges.
Raw materials are valued at average cost. Obsolescence risks have been accounted
for.
Unfinished and finished goods are valued at manufacturing costs. Such
manufacturing costs include direct material, material related overhead, direct
labor costs, labor related overhead and related depreciation of property, plant
and equipment. Appropriate reserves have been recorded for obsolete or slow
moving items.
Receivables and other assets are recorded at face value less write downs or
allowances. All known risks have been accounted for. In addition to the specific
allowance for bad debts a general allowance of 1% has been recorded on domestic
receivables in accordance with German tax regulations. Outside of Germany the
general allowance is recorded based on past experience.
Non interest bearing and low interest bearing receivables due after more than
one year are reported at present values.
Receivables denominated in foreign currencies are stated at the lower of the
rate in effect at the date the receivable was recorded or the rate in effect at
the balance sheet date.
The accruals for pension and similar obligations are stated using the values
derived from actuarial appraisals in accordance with Section 6 a German Income
Tax Law using a discount rate of 6%.
An accrued liability for taxes and other contingencies is recorded when an
obligation with third parties has been incurred, its utilization is probable and
the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Liabilities are recorded at face value. Liabilities in foreign currency are
stated at the rate in effect at the date the liability was recorded or at the
higher rate in effect at the balance sheet date.
11
<PAGE>
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Assets and liabilities reported by foreign subsidiaries have been translated
into Deutsche Marks using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date.
Translation differences in the balance sheet between the years resulting from
translation at different exchange rates are recorded in capital reserves.
Revenues, expenses and net income/loss for the year have been translated into
Deutsche Marks using average exchange rates. The resulting translation
difference is recorded in capital reserves.

2. RECONCILIATION TO U.S. GAAP
The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in Germany. Those principles
differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Following are the significant differences relating to the Company's
combined financial statements:
a) Capital contribution
The amount disclosed as capital contribution equals the losses incurred by the
German TEMIC semiconductor division in the period January 1, through September
30, 1997. The net loss was assumed by the parent company. In the German GAAP
financial statements the loss assumed by the parent company is disclosed as
extraordinary income while under U.S. GAAP the contribution is disclosed as a
capital contribution.
b) Deferred taxes
The deferred tax asset in accordance with FAS 109 has been recognized on
temporary differences and on available tax loss carry forwards to the extent
that a future realization appears more likely than not. In the German GAAP
financial statements no material deferred tax asset was recognized.
c) Investments in Affiliated Companies
Under German GAAP certain investments in affiliated companies are stated at
cost. Under U.S. GAAP these investments are accounted for on the equity method.
d) Accrued losses on uncompleted contracts
The reserve comprises (for German purposes) the difference between cost
(including administration and selling overhead cost) and anticipated net sales
prices for accepted customer orders. For U.S. purposes selling and
administration as well as research and development overhead cost have been
eliminated in calculating the accrual.
18
<PAGE>
e) Unrealized Exchange Gains
Under German GAAP receivables denominated in foreign currency are recorded at
the lower of the rate in effect at the date the receivable was recorded or the
rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Liabilities are recorded at the higher
of rate at the date the liability was recorded or the rate in effect at the
balance sheet date. Under U.S. GAAP the year end rate has to be used.
f) Pensions
The Company has various pension plans including a major pension scheme of TSG.
U.S. GAAP requires that future salary increases and cost of living increases be
included in the actuarial assumptions. This results in a higher accrual for U.S.
GAAP than according to German GAAP.
The pension liability in accordance with FAS 87 "Employers' Accounting For
Pensions" is as follows:
German GAAP U.S. GAAP
(KDM) (KDM)
-------------------------------------
Accrued pension cost 84,557 98,847
Net periodic pension expense 17,124 16,251
g) Inventories
The recorded GAAP difference on inventory represents the difference between the
reserve for lower of cost or market calculated in accordance with German GAAP
("verlustfreie Bewertung") and U.S. GAAP respectively. For the German reserve
the difference between cost and market was calculated by comparing the net sales
prices with the cost plus (direct and indirect) selling and administration cost.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP indirect selling and administration cost were not
considered in calculating the reserve.
19
<PAGE>
h) Termination Pay Reserve
The difference relates to the termination pay reserve of the Austrian subsidiary
of TSG. Employees are entitled under Austrian labor legislation to such
termination payments either on their retirement or involuntary termination of
their employment. The termination pay entitlement commences after three years of
employment and increases in steps over the employee's period of service. The
provision for employees' termination pay entitlements for U.S. GAAP reporting
purposes includes the effect of future salary increases.

transactions (collectively,"the acquisition") were consummated as of January 1,
1997. The pro forma consolidated balance sheet (unaudited) as of December 31,
1997 presents the financial position of Vishay as if the acquisition had
occurred as of December 31, 1997. The pro forma information is based on the
historical financial statements of Vishay and the TEMIC Semiconductor Business,
giving effect to the acquisition under the purchase method of accounting and the
assumptions and adjustments set forth in the accompanying notes.
These pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
by Vishay's management based upon the audited combined financial statements of
the TEMIC Semiconductor Business as of and for the year ended December 31, 1997.
These pro forma financial statements may not be indicative of the results that
actually would have occurred had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated
or those that may be obtained in the future. The pro forma financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of
Vishay included in Vishay's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997, and the consolidated financial statements of the TEMIC

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
Certain financial information has been derived from the combined audited
financial statements and notes thereto of TEMIC Semiconductor GmbH for the year
ended December 31, 1997.
(A) Amounts for TEMIC have been translated from Deutsche Marks to U.S. Dollars
as follows:
Balance Sheet Data - at the approximate exchange rate in effect as of
December 31, 1997 ($1 = DM 1.7885)
Income Statement Data - at the approximate average exchange rate in
effect during the year ended December 31, 1997
($1 = DM 1.7331)
(B) Reflects increase in outstanding indebtedness as a result of the purchase by
Vishay of 80.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Siliconix Incorporated
and all of the capital stock of TEMIC Semiconductor GmbH from Daimler Benz for
total consideration of approximately $500,000 and the sale of the TEMIC
Integrated Circuits Division to Atmel for approximately $110,000. The purchase
price and related costs were financed through long-term debt.
Purchase price, net............................... 389,936

acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Purchase
accounting adjustments have been preliminarily estimated by Vishay's management
based upon currently available information. There can be no assurance, however,
that the estimated adjustments represent the final purchase accounting
adjustments that will ultimately be determined. Management is waiting for the
results of appraisals and other information that will be required to determine
the final purchase allocation. The following pro forma adjustments have been
made to reflect the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities
as of December 31, 1997.
