NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 30, 1997
1. PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The financial information furnished herein is unaudited, but, in the opinion of
the management of Microsemi Corporation, includes all adjustments (all of which
are normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of operations for the periods indicated. The results of operations for
the first six months of the current fiscal year are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated 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 a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. The unaudited consolidated financial statements
and notes should, therefore, be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended September 29, 1996.
2. INVENTORIES
For interim reporting purposes, cost of goods sold and inventories are estimated
based upon the use of the gross profit method applied to each product line.
Inventories used in the computation of cost of goods sold were:

The Company maintains a line of credit with a bank, from which the Company can
borrow up to $15,000,000. As of March 30, 1997 $7,464,000 was borrowed under
this credit facility.
The $5,350,000 Industrial Development Revenue Bond was originally issued in
April 1985, through the City of Santa Ana Industrial Development Authority for
the construction of improvements and new facilities at the Santa Ana plant. It
was re-marketed in 1995 and carries an average interest rate of 6.75% per annum.
The terms of the bond require principal payments of $1,050,000 in 1998, $100,000
annually from 1999 to 2004 and $3,700,000 in 2005. A $5,557,000 letter of
credit is carried by a bank to guarantee the repayment of this bond. There are
no compensating balance requirements, however, the letter of credit agreement
requires the Company to make annual collateral payments of $350,000 on February
1, 1996, 1997 and 1998, totaling $1,050,000, to complete the payment of
principal scheduled for February 1, 1998.
The Company's 5.875% Convertible Subordinated Debentures, originally issued for
$40,250,000, require annual sinking fund payments in the amount of 5% of the
principal amount thereof, commencing in March 1997, less the principal amount of
converted or redeemed debentures. As of March 30, 1997, the amount of redeemed
debentures would have satisfied this requirement through March 1, 1999.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share for the primary basis have been computed based upon the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during the respective periods. Earnings per share for the fully diluted basis
have been computed, when the result is dilutive, based upon the assumption that
the convertible subordinated debt had been converted to common stock as of the
beginning of the respective periods, with a corresponding increase in net income
to reflect a reduction in related interest expense, net of applicable taxes.
6. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
For purposes of the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company
considers all short-term, highly liquid investments having a maturity of three
months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.

7. CONTINGENCY
In Broomfield, Colorado, the owner of a property located adjacent to a
manufacturing facility owned by a subsidiary of the Company had filed suit
against the subsidiary and other parties, claiming that contaminants migrated to
his property, thereby diminishing its value. In August 1995, the subsidiary
together with the former owners of the manufacturing facility, agreed to settle
the claim and to indemnify the owner of the adjacent property from remediation
costs. Although TCE and other contaminants previously used at the facility are
present in soil and groundwater on the subsidiary's property, the Company
vigorously contests any assertions that the subsidiary is the cause of the
contamination; however, there can be no assurance that recourse will be
available against third parties. State and local agencies in Colorado are
reviewing current data and considering study and cleanup options, and it is not
yet possible to predict costs for remediation or the allocation thereof among
potentially responsible parties. In the opinion of management, based on the
limited information currently available and assumptions believed by management
to be reasonable, the final outcome of the Broomfield, Colorado environmental
matter likely will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

8. ACQUISITION
On October 25, 1996, Microsemi RF Products, Inc. (RF), formerly known as Micro
Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased certain
assets and the right to manufacture a selected group of products of the high-
reliability portion of SGS Thompson's Radio Frequency Semiconductor business in
Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania. The purchase price included approximately
$2,200,000 in cash and a $700,000 promissory note, which carries no interest and
has scheduled payments of $200,000 due on January 15, 1997, $200,000 due on
January 15, 1998 and $300,000 due on January 15, 1999. The acquisition has been
accounted for by the purchase method. Accordingly, the cost of the acquisition
was allocated to the assets acquired based on their estimated fair market values
to the extent of the purchase price. The Company's consolidated results of
operations include the operations of the RF business since the date of
acquisition.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
Microsemi Corporation is a multinational supplier of high reliability power
semiconductors, surface mount and custom diode assemblies for the electronics,
computer, telecommunications, defense/aerospace and medical markets. The
Company's semiconductor products include diodes, transistors and silicon
controlled rectifiers (SCR's) which can be used in virtually all electrical and
electronic circuits. Typical functions include solid state switching, signal
processing, voltage and power regulation, circuit protection and absorption of
electrical surges and transient voltage spikes. Technologies for these devices
range from the very mature mesa rectifier diodes still used in all types of
power supply applications to the newly designed micro-miniature transient
absorbers, which are mounted within the cables used to connect computer or
telecommunications equipment.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Microsemi Corporation's operations in the first six months of fiscal year
1997 were funded with internally generated funds and borrowings from the
Company's line of credit. Under the current line of credit, the Company can
borrow up to $15,000,000. As of March 30, 1997, $7,464,000 was borrowed under
this credit facility. At March 30, 1997, the Company had $5,904,000 in cash and
cash equivalents.
A $5,350,000 Industrial Development Revenue Bond was originally issued in
April 1985, through the City of Santa Ana Industrial Development Authority for
the construction of improvements and new facilities at the Santa Ana plant. It
was re-marketed in 1995 and carries an average interest rate of 6.75% per annum.
The terms of the bond require principal payments of $1,050,000 in 1998, $100,000
annually from 1999 to 2004 and $3,700,000 in 2005. A $5,557,000 letter of
credit is carried by a bank to guarantee the repayment of this bond. There are
no compensating balance requirements, however, the letter of credit agreement
requires the Company to make annual collateral payments of $350,000 on February
1, 1996, 1997 and 1998, totaling $1,050,000, to complete the payment of
principal scheduled for February 1, 1998.
On October 25, 1996, Microsemi RF Products, Inc., formerly known as Micro
Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased certain
assets and the right to manufacture a selected group of products of the high-
reliability portion of SGS Thompson's Radio Frequency
11
<PAGE>
Semiconductor business in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania. The purchase price
included approximately $2,200,000 in cash and a $700,000 note payable.
The average collection period of accounts receivable was 59 days for the
first six months of fiscal year 1997 compared to 52 days for the same period of
fiscal year 1996. The longer collection period was mainly caused by higher
sales in the current period and by the increase in foreign sales.
The average days sales of products in inventories was 159 for the first
twenty six weeks of fiscal year 1997 compared to 149 days for the corresponding
period of fiscal year 1996. This increase was primarily caused by higher raw
material inventories, due to longer lead time to order supplies and by the
inventories included in the acquisition during the current period.
The Company has no other significant capital commitments.
Important factors related to forward-looking statements and associated risks
This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements that are based on
current expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The
forward looking statements included herein are, among other items, based on
current assumptions that the Company will be able to meet its current operating
cash and debt service requirements with internally generated funds and its
available line of credit, that it will be able to successfully resolve disputes
and other business matters as anticipated, that competitive conditions within
the semiconductor, surface mount and custom diode assembly industries will not
change materially or adversely, that the Company will retain existing key
personnel, that the Company's forecasts will reasonably anticipate market demand
for its products, and that there will be no materially adverse change in the
Company's operations or business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve
judgments that are difficult to predict and are subject to many factors that can
adversely affect results. Forecasting and other management decisions are
subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic
revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of
which may cause the Company to alter its forecasts, which may in turn affect the
Company's results of operations. In light of the factors that can affect the
forward-looking information included herein and other risks referred to in this
Form 10-Q, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a
representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives or plans
of the Company will be achieved.
Foreign Operations
The Company conducts a portion of its operations outside the United States
that is subject to risks associated with many factors beyond its control, such
as fluctuations in foreign currency rates, instability of foreign economies and
governments and changes in U.S. and foreign laws and policies affecting trade
and investment. The Company owns manufacturing and assembling facilities in
Ennis, Ireland; Bombay, India and Hong Kong and is in the process of
establishing a joint venture in The People's Republic of China (PRC). In July
1997, Hong Kong will be returned to the PRC. To the Company's knowledge, the
government of the PRC has not announced any significant changes in the conduct
of businesses in Hong Kong; however, there can be no assurance that changes will
not be made in the future or that the transition of Hong Kong to the PRC will
not have any adverse effect on the Company's assets in Hong Kong or the results
of operations of the Company.
12
<PAGE>
Sales to Foreign Customers
Foreign sales may be subject to political and economic risks, including
political instability, changes in import/export regulations, tariffs and freight
rates and difficulties in collecting receivables and enforcing contracts.
Changes in tariff structures, exchange rates or other trade policies could
adversely affect the Company's sales to foreign customers or the collection of
receivables generated from such sales.
Order Backlog
The Company's consolidated order backlog was $70,000,000 as of March 30,
1997, compared to $70,100,000 at March 31, 1996 and $68,000,000 at September 29,
1996.
Lead times for the release of the orders depend upon the scheduling practices
of individual customers. The delivery times of new or non-standard products can
be affected by scheduling factors and other manufacturing circumstances. The
rate of booking new orders can vary significantly from month to month. For
these reasons and because of the possibility of customer changes in delivery
schedules or cancellations of orders, the Company's backlog as of any particular
date may not be representative of actual sales for any succeeding period.
A portion of the Company's sales are to military and aerospace markets which
are subject to the business risk of changes in government appropriations and
changes in national defense policies and priorities. All of the Company's
contracts with prime U.S. Government contractors contain customary provisions
permitting termination at any time at the convenience of the U.S. Government or
the prime contractors upon payment to the Company for cost incurred plus a
reasonable profit. Certain contracts are also subject to price re-negotiation
in accordance with the U.S. Government sole source procurement provisions. No
material contract of the Company has been terminated or re-negotiated; however,
there can be no assurance that customers will not terminate or re-negotiate
their contracts.
Competition
The Company competes primarily in the discrete semiconductor market,
particularly in the area of high reliability components. The Company has
numerous competitors across all of its product lines. In the defense market
sector, the Company possesses the major share of the market. In the
commercial/industrial arena, there are numerous competitors such as Motorola,
Inc., General Instruments Corp., ITT Corp. and National Semiconductor which are
significantly larger than Microsemi and have greater resources and larger market
shares. Competition in certain of its product lines is dependent on price and
performance.
Changes in Technology
The power semiconductor market is subject to technological change and changes
in industry standards. To remain competitive, the Company must continue to
allocate resources to advance process technologies, to increase product
performance, to improve manufacturing yields and to improve the mix between the
Company's shipment of military and commercial products and between its high cost
and low cost products. There can be no assurance that the Company's competitors
will not develop new technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior
to the Company's technology.
13
<PAGE>
Proprietary Rights
The Company generally does not have, nor does it generally intend to apply
for, patent protection on any aspect of its technology. The Company believes
that patents often provide only narrow protection and patents require public
disclosure of information which may otherwise be subject to trade secret
protection. The Company's reliance upon protection of some of its technology as
"trade secrets" will not necessarily protect the Company from the use by other
persons of its technology, of their use of technology that is similar or
superior to that which is embodied in the Company's trade secrets. There can be
no assurance that others will not be able to independently duplicate or exceed
the Company's technology in whole or in part. No assurance can be made that the
Company will be able to maintain the confidentiality of the Company's
technology, dissemination of which could have an adverse effect on the Company's
business. In addition, litigation may be necessary to determine the scope and
the validity of the Company's proprietary rights. There can be no assurance
that any patents held by the Company will not be challenged, invalidated or
circumvented, or that the rights granted thereunder will provide competitive
advantages to the Company.
Manufacturing Risks
The Company's manufacturing processes are highly complex, require advanced
and costly equipment and are continuously modified in an effort to improve
yields and product performance. Minute impurities or other difficulties in the
manufacturing process can lower yields. In addition, California and the Pacific
Rim are known to contain various earthquake faults. The Company's operations
could be materially adversely affected if production at any of it major
facilities were interrupted. There can be no assurance that the Company will
not experience manufacturing difficulties in the future.
Dependence on Key Personnel
The Company's future performance is significantly dependent on the continued
active participation of members of its current management. The Company does not
have written employment contracts with its employees. Should one or more of
the Company's key management employees leave or otherwise become unavailable to
the Company, the Company's business and results of operations may be materially
adversely affected.
Product Liability
The Company's business exposes it to potential liability risks that are
inherent in the manufacturing and marketing of high-reliability electronic
components for critical applications. No assurances can be made that the
Company's product liability insurance coverage is adequate or that present
coverage will continue to be available at acceptable costs, or that a product
liability claim would not adversely affect the business or financial condition
of the Company.
Change of Control Provisions
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, Shareholder Rights Plan
and certain employment compensation plans contain provisions that make it more
difficult for a third party to acquire, or that may discourage a third party
from attempting to acquire, control of the Company. In addition, as a Delaware
corporation, the Company is subject to the restrictions imposed under Section
14
<PAGE>
201 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which may deter the Company from
engaging in certain change of control transactions with certain of its
stockholders under certain circumstances.
Environmental Regulation
While the Company believes that is has the environmental permits necessary to
conduct its business and that its activities conform to present environmental
regulations, increased public attention has been focused on the environmental
impact of semiconductor operations. The Company, in the conduct of its
manufacturing operations, has handled and does handle materials that are
considered hazardous, toxic or volatile under federal, state and local laws and,
therefore, is subject to regulations relating to their use, storage, discharge
and disposal. No assurances can be made that the risk of accidental release of
such materials can be completely eliminated. In addition, the Company operates
or owns facilities located on or near real properties that may formerly have
been used in ways that involved such materials. In the event of a violation of
environmental laws, the Company could be held liable for damages and the costs
of remediation and is subject to variable interpretations and governmental
priorities concerning environmental laws and regulations. Environmental
statutes have been interpreted to provide for joint and several liability and
strict liability regardless of actual fault. There can be no assurance that the
Company and its subsidiaries will not be required to incur costs to comply with,
or that the operations, business, or financial condition of the Company will not
be materially adversely affected by current or future environmental laws or
regulations.
Effect of Inflation
The Company continuously attempts to minimize any effect of inflation on
earnings by controlling its operating costs and selling prices. During the past
few years, the rate of inflation has been low and has not had a material impact
on the Company's results of operations. Higher inflation may adversely affect
the Company's results of operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996.
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 1997 increased $1,550,000 to
$40,657,000, from $39,107,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 1996; this
increase was primarily due to strong demand for the space market related
products; partially off set by reductions in telecommunications and commercial
products.
Gross profit increased $733,000 to $11,042,000 or 27.2% of sales for the
second quarter of fiscal year 1997 from $10,309,000 or 26.4% of sales for the
second quarter of fiscal year 1996. This improvement resulted from a greater
concentration in higher profit space market and other high performance products;
whereas the prior year included a greater proportion of lower margin commercial
products.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal year 1997 remained
relatively constant compared to that of the corresponding period of the prior
year.
Interest expense decreased $224,000 in the current quarter, compared to the
prior year's corresponding period, due to lower average borrowings during the
quarter and a lower interest rate on the credit line.

The effective tax rates of 41% and 42% in the second quarters of fiscal years
1997 and 1996 are the combined result of taxes computed on foreign and domestic
income.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE
SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996.
Net sales for the first six months of fiscal year 1997 increased $2,010,000
to $76,416,000, from $74,406,000 for the first six months of fiscal year 1996.
This increase reflects the continuing strong demand for the company's space
market products; partially off set by reductions in telecommunications and
commercial products.
Gross profit increased $1,274,000 to $20,786,000 or 27.2% of sales for the
first half of fiscal year 1997 from $19,512,000 or 26.2% of sales for the same
period of fiscal year 1996. This improvement resulted from a greater
concentration in higher margin space and other high performance products.
Operating expenses for the first six months of fiscal year 1997 remained
relatively constant compared to that of the corresponding period of the prior
year.
Interest expense decreased $492,000 in the current six months, compared to
the prior year's corresponding period, due to lower average borrowings during
the quarter and a lower interest rate on the credit line.
The effective tax rate of 42% in the first twenty six weeks of fiscal years
1997 and 1996 are the combined result of taxes computed on foreign and domestic
income.
