              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  July 2, 2000

position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements
and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended October 3, 1999.

3.    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 former owners of the manufacturing facility, agreed to settle the
claim and to indemnify the owner of the adjacent property for remediation costs.
Although TCE and other contaminants previously used at the facility were present
in soil and groundwater on the subsidiary's property, the Company vigorously
contested any assertion that the subsidiary was the cause of the contamination.
In November 1998, the Company signed an agreement with three former owners of
this facility whereby the former owners 1) reimbursed the Company for $530,000
of past costs related to the dispute, 2) assume responsibility for 90% of all
future clean-up costs, and 3) indemnify and protect the Company against any and
all third-party claims relating to the contamination of the facility.  State and
local agencies in Colorado are reviewing current data and considering study and
cleanup options, and it is not yet possible to predict the future costs for
remediation.  In the opinion of management, the final outcome of the Broomfield,
Colorado environmental matter will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

                                       7

The Company is involved in various pending litigation, arising out of the normal
conduct of its business, including those relating to commercial transactions,
contracts, and environmental matters.  In the opinion of management, the final
outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

4.    COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS
130").  SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying of
comprehensive income and its components in the Company's consolidated financial
statements.  Comprehensive income is defined in SFAS 130 as the change in equity
(net assets) of a business enterprise during the period from transactions and
other events and circumstances from non-owner sources.  Accumulated other
comprehensive loss consists of the change in the cumulative translation
adjustment.  Total comprehensive loss for the quarter ended July 4, 1999 was
$670,000.  Total comprehensive income for the quarter ended July 2, 2000 was
$2,785,000.  Total comprehensive income for the nine months ended July 4, 1999
and July 2, 2000 was $3,573,000 and $3,945,000, respectively.

5.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods.  Diluted
earnings per share have been computed, when the result is dilutive, using the
treasury stock method for stock options outstanding and giving effect of
issuable shares upon conversion of debt during the respective periods.

Earnings per share for the quarters and nine months ended July 4, 1999 and July
2, 2000 were calculated as follows:

6.    RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS
133"), which will become effective for the Company in fiscal year 2001.  SFAS
133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts
(collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging activities. SFAS 133
is not expected to materially affect the Company's financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.

7.    SEGMENT INFORMATION

In 1999, the Company adopted SFAS 131.  The Company's reportable operating
segments are based on geographic location, and the measure of segment profit is
income from operations.

The Company operates predominantly in a single industry segment as a
manufacturer of discrete semiconductors and whole-circuit solutions.  Geographic
areas in which the Company operates include the United States, Ireland, Hong
Kong and India.  Intergeographic sales primarily represent intercompany sales
which are accounted for based on established sales prices between the related
companies and are eliminated in consolidation.

Financial information by geographic segments is as follows:

8.    ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION

In February 2000, Microsemi acquired certain assets of the HBT Business Products
Group (now called Micro WaveSys, Inc.) of Infinesse Corporation ("Infinesse").
This business specializes in RF components utilizing III-V Compounds (primarily
Gallium Arsenide and Indium Gallium Phosphide), and SiGe semiconductors for
advanced cellular, PCS and 3G, BlueTooth, and 5.7 GHz LAN applications. The cost
of this acquisition was approximately  $15,110,000, which was funded with cash,
debt, shares of Microsemi's common stock, and the issuance of a note convertible
into shares of Microsemi's common stock.  The acquisition was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting, and goodwill resulting from this
acquisition was approximately $9,860,000.  Microsemi's consolidated results of
operations include those of Micro WaveSys since the date of acquisition. Micro
WaveSys has 1,000 authorized shares, of which, Microsemi owns 800 shares,
Infinesse or its assignees own 100 shares, and 100 shares are reserved for
future option grants.

The costs of the acquisition were allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values to the extent of the
aggregate purchase price.  Portions of the purchase price were allocated to
certain intangible assets such as completed technology, assembled workforce, and
in-process research and development ("IPR&D").  The allocation of the purchase
price to these intangible assets was based on an independent valuation report.
The amount of the purchase price allocated to IPR&D was determined by estimating
the stage of completion of each IPR&D project at the date of acquisition,
estimating cash flows resulting from the future release of products employing
these technologies, and discounting the net cash flows back to their present
values.  At the date of acquisition, technological feasibility of the IPR&D
projects had not been reached and the technology had no alternative future uses
without further development.  Accordingly, Microsemi expensed the portion of the
purchase price allocated to IPR&D of $2,510,000, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, in the quarter ended April 2, 2000.

The IPR&D comprises a number of individual technological development efforts,
focusing on the discovery of new, technologically advanced knowledge and more
complete solutions to customers' needs, the conceptual formulation and design of
possible alternatives, as well as the testing of process and product cost
improvements.  Specifically, these technologies included efforts regarding
Microsemi's strategy of expanding product offerings into the high growth
wireless, broadband, and the analog and mixed signal IC sectors.

The weighted average stage of completion for all projects, in the aggregate, was
approximately 60% as of the acquisition date.  As of that date, the estimated
remaining costs to bring the projects under development to technological
feasibility are over $500,000.  Upon completion, cash flows from sales of
products incorporating those technologies were estimated to commence in the year
2000.  Revenues forecasted in each period were reduced by related expenses,
capital expenditures, and the cost of working capital.  The discount rate
applied to the net cash flows was 28%, which reflected the level of risk
associated with the particular technologies and the current return on investment
requirements of the market.

As discussed above, a portion of the costs of acquisition was allocated to
completed technology and assembled workforce.  The total allocation approximated
$2,490,000 for these intangible assets.

Pro forma results as if the acquisition had taken place in the prior year would
not be materially different from the Company's reported results.

In June 2000, Microsemi sold certain assets of its Micro Commercial Components
division at book value for $2,670,000. As of July 2, 2000, Microsemi received
$1,600,000 in cash.  Microsemi will receive the balance of $1,070,000 in four
monthly installments, starting in August 2000.

Results Of Operations For The Quarter Ended July 2, 2000 Compared To The Quarter
Ended July 4, 1999.

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2000 increased $17.8 million to
$66.6 million from $48.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 1999.  The
increase was attributable primarily to higher sales of power management, TVS and
RF/Microwave products to the mobile connectivity, telecommunications,
computer/peripheral and space/satellite markets. We acquired LinFinity
Microelectronics, Inc. ("LinFinity") and Microsemi Microwave Products ("MMP") in
April and June of 1999, respectively.  We sold certain assets of our Micro
Commercial Components division ("MCC") in June 2000. LinFinity, MMP and MCC
collectively had revenues of $15.1 million and $24.6 million in the quarters
ended July 4, 1999 and July 2, 2000, respectively.

Gross profit increased $7.0 million to $19.0 million for the third quarter of
fiscal year 2000 from $12.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 1999.
Gross margin percentage for the third quarter of fiscal year 2000 was 28.6%, up
from 24.5% in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. This increase was due
to higher capacity utilization and an increase in shipments of higher margin
power management, TVS, RF/Microwave and space/satellite products. LinFinity, MMP
and MCC collectively had gross profit of $3.5 million and $9.2 million in the
quarters ended July 4, 1999 and July 2, 2000, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.0 million to $10.3
million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2000 compared to $8.3 million for
the corresponding period of the prior year.  The increase was primarily due to
the additions of LinFinity and MMP.

Research and development for the third quarter of fiscal year 2000 increased by
$1.6 million to $3.0 million from $1.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal
year 1999.  The increase was due to higher spending to develop power management
and RF products for the mobile connectivity, telecommunications, medical and
computer/peripheral markets.

Interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal year 2000 decreased $.2 million
from the third quarter of fiscal year 1999.  The decrease was due to a lower
average balance of debt during the current-year period.

Our effective income tax rates of 37.0% and 33.0% in the quarters ended July 4,
1999 and July 2, 2000, respectively, were the combined result of taxes computed
on consolidated income.  The lower effective tax rate in the current-year
quarter is primarily attributable to adjustments to accrual rates due mostly to
a higher proportion of income earned within lower tax rate jurisdictions.

Results Of Operations For The Nine Months Ended July 2, 2000 Compared To The
Nine Months Ended July 4, 1999.

The nine months ended July 2, 2000 comprised 39 weeks, and the nine months ended
July 4, 1999 comprised 40 weeks.

Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal year 2000 increased $54.5 million
to $182.2 million from $127.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal year
1999.  This increase was attributable primarily to higher sales of our power
management and RF products to the mobile connectivity, telecommunications and
computer/peripheral markets. LinFinity, MMP and MCC collectively had revenues of
$22.5 million and $70.0 million in the nine months ended July 4, 1999 and July
2, 2000, respectively.

Gross profit increased $16.6 million to $49.8 million, or 27.3% of sales for the
first nine months of fiscal year 2000 from $33.2 million, or 26.0% of sales for
the first nine months of fiscal year 1999. This increase was due to higher
capacity utilization as a result primarily of an increase in shipments of higher
margin power management, TVS, RF/Microwave and space/satellite products.
LinFinity, MMP and MCC collectively had gross profit of $4.7 million and $23.5
million in the nine months ended July 4, 1999 and July 2, 2000, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.9 million to $28.4
million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2000, compared to $20.5 million
for the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due
to the additions of LinFinity and MMP.

Research and development for the first nine months of fiscal year 2000 increased
by $5.9 million to $8.0 million from $2.1 million for the corresponding period
of fiscal year 1999.  The increase was due to higher spending to develop our
power management and RF products for the mobile connectivity,
telecommunications, medical and computer/peripheral markets.

Interest expense increased $1.3 million due to a higher average balance of debt
used to finance the LinFinity and MMP acquisitions. The acquisition debt
obtained in April, 1999 was paid off in June, 2000 with proceeds from the sale
of our common stock.

Our effective income tax rates of 37.0% and 33.0% in the nine months ended July
4, 1999 and July 2, 2000, respectively, were the combined result of taxes
computed on consolidated income. The lower effective tax rate in the current
period is primarily attributable to adjustments to accrual rates due in
significant part to a higher proportion of income earned within lower tax rate
jurisdictions.

Capital Resources And Liquidity

Net cash provided by operating activities was $8.7 million and $27.7 million for
the first nine months of fiscal years 1999 and 2000, respectively.  The increase
in cash provided by operating activities in fiscal year 2000 compared to fiscal
year 1999 was primarily attributable to a higher level of non-cash charges for
depreciation and amortization and acquired in-process research and development.
In addition, net cash provided by operating activities were impacted by changes
in accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, other
assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $36.4 million and $7.5 million for the
first nine months of fiscal years 1999 and 2000, respectively.  The net cash
used in investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal year 1999 was a
result of the Linfinity and MMP acquisitions.  The net cash used in investing
activities in the first nine months of fiscal year 2000, was primarily due to
the purchases of capital equipment and the cash portion of the payment for the
Micro WaveSys acquisition, partially offset by proceeds received from the sale
of MCC.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $25.6 million for the first nine
months of fiscal year 1999. Net cash used in financing activities was $2.5
million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2000. The net cash provided by
financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal year 1999 was primarily
a result of cash obtained from long-term debt, partially offset by the
repurchases of our common stock. The net cash used in financing activities in
the first nine months of fiscal year 2000 was primarily a result of payments on
our debt, partially offset by proceeds received from the sale of our common
stock in an underwritten public offering and from exercises of stock options.

Our operations in the nine months ended July 4, 1999 and July 2, 2000 were
funded with internally generated funds, borrowings under our revolving line of
credit, which expires in March 2003, and from the sale of our common stock in
June 2000. At July 2, 2000, we had $25.3 million in cash and cash equivalents.

In June 1999, we finalized a lease agreement for a building located in Santa
Ana, California. This lease requires a current monthly rental payment of
$23,217. This transaction was recorded as a purchase at the present value of the
lease payments.

In February 2000, we acquired the HBT Business Products Group (now called Micro
WaveSys, Inc.) of Infinesse Corporation ("Infinesse") for $1.5 million in cash,
312,500 shares of our common stock and $4.5 million in notes payable. Micro
WaveSys has 1,000 authorized shares, of which, we own 800 shares, Infinesse or
assignees own 100 shares, and 100 shares are reserved for future option grants.

In June 2000, we sold 2,303,300 shares of our common stock and received
approximately $45.3 million, net of expenses. A portion of the proceeds was used
to pay off the balance of a bank debt originally incurred to finance the
acquisitions of LinFinity and MMP.

In June 2000, we sold certain assets of MCC, at book value, for $2.7 million. As
of July 2, 2000, we received $1.6 million in cash. We expect to receive the
balance of $1.1 million in four monthly installments, starting in August 2000.

We are committed by the terms of our revolving line of credit and other credit
facilities to make debt service payments on our outstanding indebtedness.

Based upon information currently available, we believe that we can meet our
current operating cash and debt service requirements with internally generated
funds together with our available borrowings.

IMPORTANT FACTORS RELATED TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Some of the statements in this report or incorporated by reference are forward-
looking, including, without limitation, the statements under the captions
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."  You can identify these statements by the use of words like "may,"
"will," "could," "should," "project," "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "plan,"
"estimate," "forecast," "potential," "intend," "continue" and variations of
these words or comparable words. In addition, all of the non-historical
information herein is forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are not a
guarantee of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual
results may differ substantially from the results that the forward-looking
statements suggest for various reasons. These forward-looking statements are
made only as of the date of this report. We do not undertake to update or revise
the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.

The forward-looking statements included in this report are based on, among other
items, current assumptions that we will be able to meet our current operating
cash and debt service requirements, that we will be able to successfully resolve
disputes and other business matters as anticipated, that competitive conditions
within the semiconductor, integrated circuit and custom diode assembly
industries will not affect us materially or adversely, that we will retain
existing key personnel, that our forecasts will reasonably anticipate market
demand for our products, and that there will be no other material adverse change
in our operations or business. Other factors that could cause results to vary
materially from current expectations are referred to elsewhere in this report.
Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments that are difficult to
make and future circumstances that are difficult to predict accurately or
correctly. 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 us to
alter our forecasts, which may in turn affect our results. Readers are cautioned
against giving undue weight to any of our forward-looking statements.

Adverse changes could result from any number of factors, including fluctuations
in economic conditions, potential effects of inflation, lack of earnings
visibility, dependence upon a small number of customers or markets, dependence
upon suppliers, future capital needs, rapid technological changes, difficulties
in integrating acquired businesses, ability to realize cost savings or
productivity gains, potential cost increases, dependence on key personnel,
difficulties regarding hiring and retaining qualified personnel in a competitive
labor market, risks of doing business in international markets, and problems of
third parties.

The inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by
us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved.
Additional factors that could cause results to vary materially from current
expectations are discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Form 424B4
Prospectus that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1,
2000, and any subsequent amendments thereto, which are incorporated herein by
this reference as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, or under the heading "Important factors
related to forward-looking statements and associated risks" in our annual report
in the Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in
December 1999, and elsewhere in that Form 10-K, including but not limited to,
under the headings, "Legal Proceedings," "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and the notes to the
financial statements.
