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.

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 income for the quarters ended April 4, 1999 and
April 2, 2000 was $1,994,000 and $192,000, respectively.  Total comprehensive
income for the six months ended April 4, 1999 and April 2, 2000 was $4,267,000
and $1,158,000, 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 during the respective
periods.

Earnings per share for the quarters and six months ended April 4, 1999 and April
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.

                                       8
<PAGE>

The Company operates predominantly in a single industry segment as a
manufacturer of discrete semiconductors. 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

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 owns 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 ("R & 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 in-process R & D was determined by
estimating the stage of completion of each in-process R & 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 in-process R & 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 in-process R & D of
$2,510,000, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, in the
quarter ended April 2, 2000.

The in-process R & 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.

9.  STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers
all short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes current beliefs, expectations and
other forward looking statements, the realization of which may be impacted by
certain important factors discussed below or referenced under the heading
"Important Factors Related to Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks,"
found below.  This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations and the unaudited consolidated financial statements
and notes should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended October 3, 1999.

INTRODUCTION
- ------------

We are a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of analog, mixed-signal and
discrete semiconductors. Our semiconductors manage and regulate power, protect
against transient voltage spikes and transmit, receive and amplify signals. Our
products include individual components as well as complete circuit solutions
that enhance our customers' end products by providing battery optimization,
reducing size or protecting circuits. Our commercial products are used in
dynamic high growth mobile connectivity applications, including mobile phones
and handheld Internet devices, and broadband communications applications such as
base stations, wireless LAN, cable and fiber optic systems. These high growth
opportunities have emerged from our ongoing capabilities in designing and
manufacturing semiconductors for military, satellite and medical applications.
We serve several end markets of the semiconductor industry. These end markets
include battery-operated products, communications and Internet infrastructure,
and military and aerospace. Battery-operated products include portable digital
assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, portable or implantable, medical equipment,
hearing aids, notebook computers and wireless web tablets.  Our diverse customer
base includes Motorola, Lockheed Martin, Seagate, Mitsubishi, Guidant, Samsung,
Medtronic, Boeing, Palm, Dell and Compaq.

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

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 increased $21.5 million to
$61.0 million from $39.5 million for the second 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 and
computer/peripheral markets.  The increase in sales for the second quarter of
fiscal year 2000 included $18.7 million from the LinFinity Microelectronics,
Inc. ("LinFinity") and Microsemi Microwave Products (MMP) divisions, which we
acquired in April and June of 1999, respectively.

Gross profit increased $6.8 million to $17.2 million for the second quarter of
fiscal year 2000 from $10.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 1999.
Gross margin percentage for the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 was 28.1%, up
from 26.2% in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year.  Gross profit in the
second quarter of fiscal year 2000 included $7.6 million from the LinFinity and
MMP divisions.  Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2000, (excluding
LinFinity and MMP), decreased $0.8 million compared to the same quarter of the
prior fiscal year. This decrease and the decline in gross profit percentage to
22.6% (excluding LinFinity and MMP) were due to lower capacity utilization and
lower shipments in the space/satellite business at certain subsidiaries.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.7 million to $9.7
million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 compared to the corresponding
period of the prior year.  The increase was primarily due to the additions of
LinFinity and MMP.

Research and development for the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 increased
$2.3 million to $2.7 million from $0.4 million for the second 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.

The charge for acquired in-process research and development of $2.5 million in
the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 was related to our acquisition of the HBT
Business Products Group (now called Micro WaveSys, Inc.) of Infinesse
Corporation in February 2000.

                                       12
<PAGE>

Interest expense increased $0.9 million due to increases in borrowings to
finance the LinFinity and MMP acquisitions.

Our effective income tax rates of 35.8% and 33.0% in the quarters ended April 4,
1999 and April 2, 2000, respectively, were the combined result of taxes computed
on consolidated income.  The lower effective tax rate in the current quarter is
primarily attributable to adjustments to accrual rates due in significant part
to a higher proportion of income earned within lower tax rate jurisdictions.

Results Of Operations For The Six Months Ended April 2, 2000 Compared To The Six
Months Ended April 4, 1999.

The six months ended April 2, 2000 comprised 26 weeks, and the six months ended
April 4, 1999 comprised 27 weeks.

Net sales for the first six months of fiscal year 2000 increased $36.7 million
to $115.6 million from $78.9 million for the first six 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. The increase in sales for the first six months of
fiscal year 2000 included $36.1 million from the LinFinity and MMP divisions,
which we acquired in April and June of 1999, respectively.

Gross profit increased $9.5 million to $30.7 million, or 26.6% of sales for the
first six months of fiscal year 2000 from $21.2 million, or 25.9% of sales for
the first six months of fiscal year 1999.  The increase in gross profit was due
to higher total sales.  Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal year
2000 included $13.3 million from the LinFinity and MMP divisions.  Gross profit
for the first six months of fiscal 2000, (excluding LinFinity and MMP),
decreased $3.8 million compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
This decrease and the decline in gross profit percentage to 21.9% (excluding
LinFinity and MMP) were due to lower capacity utilization and lower shipments in
the space/satellite business at certain subsidiaries.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6.0 million to $18.1
million for the first six months of fiscal year 2000, compared to 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 six months of fiscal year 2000 increased
$4.3 million to $5.1 million from $0.8 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.

The charge for acquired in-process research and development of $2.5 million in
the first six months of fiscal year 2000 was related to our acquisition of the
HBT Business Products Group (now called Micro WaveSys, Inc.) of Infinesse
Corporation in February 2000.

Interest expense increased $1.4 million due to increases in borrowings to
finance the LinFinity and MMP acquisitions.

Our effective income tax rates of 37.0% and 33.0% in the six months ended April
4, 1999 and April 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 $3.2 million and $11.7 million for
the first six 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 non-cash charges for depreciation,
acquired in-process research and development, and changes in accounts
receivable, inventories, other assets, accrued liabilities and income taxes
payable.

                                       13
<PAGE>

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.3 million and $7.5 million for the
first six months of fiscal years 1999 and 2000, respectively.  The increase was
primarily due to increased purchases of property and equipment and the Micro
WaveSys acquisition.

Net cash used in financing activities was $4.6 million and $5.6 million for the
first six months of fiscal years 1999 and 2000, respectively. The net cash used
in financing activities in the first six months of fiscal year 1999 was
primarily a result of the repurchases of our common stock. The net cash used in
financing activities in the first six months of fiscal year 2000 was primarily a
result of payments on our debt, partially offset by proceeds received from
exercises of stock options.

Our operations in the six months ended April 4, 1999 and April 2, 2000 were
funded with internally generated funds and borrowings under our revolving line
of credit, which expires in March 2003.  Under this line of credit, we can
borrow up to $30.0 million.  As of April 2, 2000, $13.5 million was borrowed and
$12.1 million was available under this credit facility.  At April 2, 2000, we
had $6.2 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 owns
100 shares, and 100 shares are reserved for future option grants.

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 do not
guarantee 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
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 S-3, as
amended, as filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
April 26, 2000, and 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.
