         In connection  with the  acquisition  of LPSC, the Company issued stock
appreciation  rights (SARs) to the former owners of LPSC. The SARs represent the
right to receive, in stock, the increase in value on the equivalent of 2,133,000
shares of the Company's  stock above $17.52 per share.  On January 24, 2000, the
Company  exercised its right to call the SARs. Based on the call price of $39.64
per share and the average  closing  price of Vishay shares for thirty days prior
to January 24, 2000, the Company would have to issue 1,529,000  shares of Vishay
Common Stock to settle the SARs. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, 1,143,000
shares  were  included  in the  calculation  of basic  earnings  per  share  and
1,529,000 shares were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
See Note 6 with respect to the proposed sale of the  Company's  interest in LPSC
for  consideration  including  transfer to the  Company of the rights  under the
SARs.


Note 3: Business Segment Information

         The Company designs,  manufactures,  and markets electronic  components
that  cover a wide range of  products  and  technologies.  The  Company  has two
reportable  segments:   Passive  Electronic  Components  (Passives)  and  Active
Electronic Components (Actives). The Company evaluates performance and allocates

Note 5: Income Taxes

         The  effective  tax rate for the  first  quarter  of 2000 was  22.6% as
compared to 73.0% for the first quarter of 1999. The unusual  effective tax rate
for  the  first  quarter  of  1999  was  due to the  following:  (i) the non tax
deductibility of the pretax loss on the sale of Nicolitch,  S.A.  ($10,073,000);
(ii) the tax expense  recorded on the sale of Nicolitch,  S.A.($1,416,000);  and
(iii) the change in the tax rate in  Germany  ($1,939,000).  Exclusive  of these
items,  the  effective  tax rate for the first  quarter  of 1999 would have been
25.3%.

Note 6: Sale of Subsidiary

         On March 15,  2000,  the Company and Lite-On JV  Corporation  ("Lite-On
Group") entered into a Memorandum of Understanding for the sale of the Company's
65% interest in LPSC to the Lite-On Group for  consideration  consisting of cash
and the assignment or transfer to Vishay of the Lite-On Group's rights under the
SARs (see Note 2). The Lite-On Group  currently  owns the remaining 35% interest
in LPSC. The actual effect on earnings from the  disposition of LPSC will depend
on the  value of the  Company's  stock at the time  the  parties  execute  final
documentation.  The closing is  expected to occur  before  September  30,  2000.
During  the time prior to the  closing,  the  parties  will  prepare  additional
documentation  relating to the  transaction,  and the Lite-On Group will arrange
its  financing for the cash portion of the purchase  price.  The Company and the
Lite-On Group have agreed to defer the actual redemption of the SARs pending the
execution  of  certain  documentation  relating  to the  sale  of the  Company's
interest  in LPSC to the Lite-On  Group.  No effects of these  transactions  are
reflected in the Company's financial  statements for the quarter ended March 31,
2000.

         On March 26, 1999, the Company  finalized the sale of Nicolitch,  S.A.,
its French  manufacturer of printed circuit boards, to Leonische  Drahtwerke AG.
In connection  with the sale,  the Company  received  proceeds of $9,118,000 and
recorded  a  non-cash  book  loss  of  $11,489,000,  including  tax  expense  of
$1,416,000.

Note 7: Subsequent Event

On May 15,  2000,  the Company sold  5,895,000  shares of its common stock in an
underwritten  public offering at a price of $73.50 per share,  including  95,000
shares to cover over-allotments.  Of the shares being offered,  5,595,000 shares
were  offered  by the  Company  and  300,000  shares  were  offered  by  selling
stockholders. The Company has granted the underwriters options to purchase up to
775,000  additional shares of common stock at the public offering price to cover
additional  over-allotments,  if any. The total net proceeds to the Company from
the offering,  after deducting the underwriters discount and estimated expenses,
were $395.2  million.  The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of
common  stock  by  the  selling  stockholders.  However,  the  Company  received
approximately  $5.0 million  representing  the aggregate  exercise  price of the
stock options through which the selling stockholders  acquired their shares. The
Company intends to use the net proceeds it received from the offering to repay a
portion of the debt outstanding under its long-term revolving credit facility.

Net Sales

         First quarter net sales increased  $115,836,000 or 27.4% from the first
quarter of 1999. Both the passive and active components  businesses  contributed
to this increase.  The passive  components  business net sales were $325,510,000
for the first quarter as compared to $251,532,000 for the first quarter of 1999;
a 29.4% increase.  The active  components  business first quarter net sales were
$213,384,000 as compared to $171,526,000  for the first quarter of 1999; a 24.4%
increase.  This  sales  growth  reflects  the strong  demand  for the  Company's
products,   particularly   in   telecommunication,   automotive,   and  computer
applications  markets.  The sales  increase  for the first  quarter  of 2000 was
offset by $22,873,000 on account of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against
foreign currencies during the quarter, in comparison to the first quarter of the
prior year.

Costs of Products Sold

         Costs of products  sold for the first  quarter were 65.2% of net sales,
as  compared  to 76.4%  for the  first  quarter  of  1999.  Gross  profit,  as a
percentage  of net  sales  increased  to 34.8%  compared  to 23.6% for the first
quarter  of 1999,  with  both  the  active  and  passive  components  businesses
contributing to the increase.

         The active components  business gross margins were 37.1% as compared to
30.1% for the first  quarter  of 1999.  The  Siliconix  operation was primarily
responsible  for this increase.  The gross

                                       11

<PAGE>

profit margin for Siliconix was 48.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. This
was due to increased  manufacturing  efficiencies,  an improved product mix, and
continued cost reduction efforts.

         The passive  components  business  gross  profit  margins were 33.4% as
compared  to 19.8% for the first  quarter of 1999.  This  increase  was mainly a
result of increased  demand for the passive  products,  particularly  resistors,
tantalum  capacitors,  and multi-layer ceramic chip capacitors.  Average selling
prices remained comparable with the first quarter of 1999.

         Israeli government grants, recorded as a reduction of costs of products
sold,  were  $3,677,000 for the first quarter of 2000, as compared to $3,464,000
for the first  quarter  of 1999.  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 Company
employees  in Israel.  Deferred  income at March 31,  2000  relating  to Israeli
government  grants was  $48,560,000,  as compared to $50,462,000 at December 31,
1999.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

         Selling,  general, and administrative expenses for the first quarter of
2000 were 12.6% of net sales,  as  compared  to 14.8% of net sales for the first
quarter of 1999. The decrease in selling,  general and administrative  expenses,
as a percentage of net sales, relates to higher net sales in 2000 as compared to
the first quarter of 1999.  The Company  continues to implement  cost  reduction
initiatives company-wide,  with particular emphasis placed on reducing headcount
in high labor cost countries.

Interest Expense

         Interest  costs  decreased by $365,000 as compared to the first quarter
of 1999. This decrease was a result of lower  outstanding bank borrowings during
the first  quarter of 2000 as compared  to the first  quarter of the prior year,
partially offset by higher interest rates.

Other Income

         Other income for the first  quarter of 2000  decreased by $1,406,000 as
compared to the first quarter of 1999.  This is  attributable to greater foreign
exchange losses partially offset by higher interest income and income recognized
under the equity method.

Loss on Sale of Subsidiary

         Included  in the  first  quarter  1999  results  is a  pre-tax  loss of
$10,073,000  relating to the sale of Nicolitch  S.A., a French  manufacturer  of
printed circuit boards, to Leonische Drahtwerke AG, which was completed on March
26, 1999.

Minority Interest

         Minority interest for the first quarter of 2000 increased by $3,703,000
as compared to the first  quarter of 1999  primarily  due to the increase in net
earnings of Siliconix, of which Vishay owns 80.4%.

Income Taxes

         The  effective  tax rate for the first quarter was 22.6% as compared to
73.0% for the first  quarter of 1999.  The higher tax rate for the first quarter
of 1999 primarily reflects the non-tax  deductibility of the loss on the sale of
Nicolitch, S.A. Tax expense on the sale of Nicolitch, S.A. was $1,416,000. Also,
a tax rate  change in Germany  resulted  in a decrease  in German  deferred  tax
assets,  which  increased tax expense by $1,939,000.  Exclusive of the effect of
the sale of  Nicolitch,  S.A. and the tax rate change in Germany,  the effective
tax rate on earnings  before  minority  interest  for the first  quarter of 1999
would  have  been  25.3%.  The  continuing  effect  of low tax  rates in  Israel
applicable  to the  Company,  as  compared to the  statutory  rate in the United
States,  resulted in increases in net earnings of $12,853,000 and $2,998,000 for
the first quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively. The more favorable Israeli tax
rates are applied to specific approved projects and are normally available for a
period of ten or fifteen years.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

         Cash flows from operations were $67,235,000  compared to $8,260,000 for
the first quarter of 1999.  The increase in cash  generated  from  operations is
attributable  to an increase in net earnings from the first quarter of 1999. Net
purchases of property and equipment were $40,326,000  compared to $25,026,000 in
the first quarter of 1999,  reflecting the Company's  efforts toward  increasing
capacity. The Company paid down $48,617,000 on its revolving credit lines during
the first quarter of 2000.  These payments were partially funded by the proceeds
from stock options  exercised  during the quarter of $33,466,000.  The Company's
financial  condition at March 31, 2000 was strong,  with a current ratio of 2.70
to  1.  The  Company's  ratio  of  long-term  debt,  less  current  portion,  to
stockholders'  equity was .55 to 1 at March 31,  2000 as compared to .82 to 1 at
March 31, 1999 and .65 to 1 at December 31, 1999.

Year 2000 Compliance

         In prior years,  the Company  discussed  the nature and progress of its
plans to become Year 2000 compliant. Each of the Company's divisions implemented
a Year 2000  program  designed  to  address  the Year 2000  issue,  of which all
programs are now complete. The Company's total cost for these Year 2000 programs
approximated  $1,400,000.  As  a  result  of  these  efforts,  the  Company  has
experienced  no  significant   disruptions   in   mission-critical   information
technology  and  non-information  technology  systems and believes those systems
successfully  responded to the Year 2000 date change.  In addition,  the Company
has not  experienced  any adverse  effects with any of its third party  vendors,
suppliers or  customers.  While the Company is not aware of, and does not expect
that it will  experience,  any material  problems related to this issue, it will
continue to monitor its mission-critical  computer applications and those of its
suppliers,  vendors and  customers  throughout  the Year 2000 to ensure that any
latent Year 2000 matters that may arise are addressed promptly.

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 Company's 1999 Annual Report on
Form 10-K contains  cautionary  statements that 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.

Market Risk Disclosure

         The  Company's  cash flows and  earnings  are  subject to  fluctuations
resulting from changes in foreign  currency  exchange rates and interest  rates.
The  Company  manages its  exposure to these  market  risks  through  internally
established  policies and procedures and, when deemed  appropriate,  through the
use of derivative  financial  instruments.  The Company's  policy does not allow
speculation  in  derivative  instruments  for profit or execution of  derivative
instrument  contracts for which there are no underlying  exposures.  The Company
does not use financial  instruments  for trading  purposes and is not a party to
any  leveraged  derivatives.  The Company  monitors its  underlying  market risk
exposures  on an  ongoing  basis and  believes  that it can  modify or adapt its
hedging strategies as needed.

         The Company is exposed to changes in U.S.  dollar LIBOR  interest rates
on its  floating  rate  revolving  credit  facility.  At  March  31,  2000,  the
outstanding balance under this facility was $595,000,000.  On a selective basis,
the Company from time to time enters into interest  rate swap or cap  agreements
to reduce the potential  negative impact  increases in interest rates could have
on its outstanding  variable rate debt. At March 31, 2000, a fixed rate swap was
in place on $300,000,000 of the Company's revolving credit facility.  The impact
of interest  rate  instruments  on the Company's  results of operations  was not
significant.
