               NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited,
     however, they contain all normal recurring accruals which, in the opinion
     of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial
     position of the Company at March 31, 1998 and the consolidated results of
     operations and cash flows for the nine month periods ended March 31, 1998
     and 1997.  It should be understood that accounting measurements at interim
     dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end. 
     The results of operations for the nine month period ended March 31, 1998
     are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
     year.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include footnotes
     and certain financial presentations normally required under generally
     accepted accounting principles and, therefore, should be read in
     conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30,
     1997.

2.   EARNINGS PER SHARE
     
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128 "Earnings
     per Share" which modifies the calculation of earnings per share ("EPS") and
     its disclosure requirements. Upon adoption of this standard for the interim
     period ended December 31, 1997, the Company is disclosing basic and diluted
     EPS for Fiscal 1998 and has restated all prior period EPS data presented.

     Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings by the weighted
     average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is
     computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common and
     common stock equivalents outstanding. Stock options outstanding under stock
     option plans are considered common stock equivalents.  Common stock
     equivalents for stock options utilized in the computation of earnings per
     share were 250,600 and 512,200 for the three and nine month periods ended
     March 31, 1998 with 403,100 and 436,000 utilized in the respective prior
     year periods.

5.   IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

     During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company recorded a $75
     million pretax charge related to a restructuring program designed to
     improve the Company's competitive position and further accelerate growth
     and earnings by streamlining operations and administration.  The charge was
     composed of $65 million for the write-down of assets and $10 million for
     termination benefits to be paid in connection with the elimination of
     approximately 150 positions.

     As of March 31, 1998, the Company had recorded approximately $68.7 million
     in cumulative costs against its $75 million restructuring reserve, of which
     approximately

     $65 million related to non-cash effects of asset write-offs
     and about $3.7 million represented cash expenditures for termination
     benefits paid to over 100 employees.

</TABLE>

Revenues for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1998 increased 
14.4% and 17.5%, respectively, to $140.4 million and $418.1 million from 
$122.8 million and $356.0 million in the respective prior year periods.  
Growth in sales reflected stable demand in North America and increasing sales 
in Europe, tempered by difficult market conditions principally in Asia.   In 
the quarter, continued strength in industrial demand and an increase in 
automotive business largely offset weakness in computer-related and consumer 
electronics sectors. Changes in foreign exchange rates impacted revenues 
negatively by $3.0 million and $10.5 million for the three and nine month 
periods ended March 31, 1998, versus negative impacts of $3.3 million and 
$7.1 million in the respective prior year periods. Revenues in the current 
quarter included $4.3 million of net royalties from patent licenses versus 
$5.1 million in the prior year period.

March-quarter gross profit increased to $44.5 million (31.7% of revenues) versus
$42.3 million (34.5% of revenues) in the comparable year-ago quarter. Gross
profit for the nine month period ended March 31, 1998 increased to $137.3
million (32.8% of revenues) versus $121.5 million (34.1% of revenues) in the
year-ago period, reflecting increased volume impacted by continued pressure on
prices.

In the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1998, selling and
administrative expense was $26.8 million and $79.1 million (19.1% and 18.9% of
revenues), respectively, versus $26.1 million and $78.6 million (21.3% and 22.1%
of revenues) in the comparable year-ago periods.  The Company's current-year
spending ratio reflected the benefit of greater sales volume and the
restructuring of operations announced in May 1997.

In the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1998, the Company's research
and development expenditures increased to $10.8 million and $28.3 million (7.7%
and 6.8% of revenues), respectively, compared to $9.1 million and $25.8 million
(7.4% and 7.2% of revenues) in the comparable prior year periods.  The Company's
research and development program focuses on the advancement and diversification
of HEXFET-Registered Trademark- power MOSFET and IGBT product lines and the
development of high voltage control integrated circuits and power products that
work in combination with HEXFET power MOSFETs and IGBTs. IR's program places
increasing emphasis on the development of value-added chipsets, hybrids and
board-level products that tune and combine components to optimize overall system
performance and reduce customers' cost and development time.  A new Development
Center in El Segundo began production in the second quarter of fiscal 1998,
providing greater capacity and submicron development capability.

Net interest expense increased $0.4 million and $2.9 million in the three and
nine month periods ended March 31, 1998, compared to the respective prior year
periods, reflecting increased interest expense incurred on higher average debt
balances.

Foreign currency gains and losses affected net income negatively by 
$0.4 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended 
March 31, 1998 compared to a negative impact of $0.3 million and a positive 
impact of $0.6 million in the respective prior year periods.

SEASONALITY

The Company has experienced moderate seasonality in its business in recent
years.  On average over the past three years, the Company has reported
approximately 47% of annual revenues in the first half and 53% in the second
half of its fiscal year.  Historical averages are not necessarily indicative of
future results.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1998, the Company maintained cash and cash equivalent balances of
$39.3 million and short-term investments of $15.5 million.  In addition, the
Company had established $76.7 million of domestic and foreign revolving lines of
credit, against which $38.2 million had been borrowed.  Based on covenant and
collateral limitations, the Company had $34.2 million available for borrowing at
