                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Participants and Administrator of the
International Rectifier Corporation Retirement Savings Plan:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the International Rectifier Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan")
at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States, which require that we plan and perform the audits
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes at end of year is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the
responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     The following description of the International Rectifier Corporation
     Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information.
     Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete
     description of the Plan's provisions.

     GENERAL

     International Rectifier Corporation (the "Company") established the Plan on
     April 1, 1988. The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the
     provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
     ("ERISA"), as amended.

     ELIGIBILITY

     An employee is eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of the
     payroll period which falls immediately after the later of (i) the date
     which is 90 days after his or her date of hire, or (ii) the date on which
     he or she attains age 18.

     CONTRIBUTIONS

     Effective January 1, 1998, participants may elect to make contributions up
     to 15% of their pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan. For the
     Plan year ended December 31, 1997, participants were permitted to make
     contributions up to 20% of their pretax annual compensation. Participants
     may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified
     defined benefit or contribution plans. The Company contributes an amount
     equal to 150% of the first $200 of the participant's contribution, 50% of
     the next $1,400, and 25% of the next $800 in a Plan year. The aggregate
     matching contribution made by the Company shall not exceed $1,200 per
     participant in a Plan year. In addition to the Company's matching
     contribution, the Board of Directors may make annual discretionary
     contributions in the form of cash or Company stock. For the years ended
     December 31, 1999 and 1998, no discretionary matching contributions were
     authorized by the Board.

     VESTING

     Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and the
     Company's matching and discretionary contributions plus actual earnings
     thereon.

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

     PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

     Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions
     and allocations of the Company's contribution and Plan earnings.
     Allocations are based on participant contributions or account balances, as
     defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that
     can be provided from the participant's vested account.

     INVESTMENT PROGRAMS

     The trustee for the Plan is Fidelity Management Trust Company. All accounts
     are held in trust funds and invested in accordance with the terms of the
     Plan and investment options elected by Plan participants.

     Participants can allocate their contributions and account balances to any
     or all of the investment fund options. Participants may transfer their
     account balances, or a portion thereof, from one fund to another.

     PARTICIPANT LOANS

     The Plan allows participants to borrow from their accounts a minimum of
     $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their
     account balance. Loan transactions are treated as transfers between
     Investment Fund and the Participant Loan Fund. Loan terms range from 1-5
     years or up to 10 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans
     are collateralized by the balance in the participant's account and bear
     interest at a rate commensurate with current prevailing rates. Principal
     and interest is paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions.

     BENEFIT PAYMENTS

     Upon termination of service, a participant will receive a lump-sum amount
     equal to the value of the participant's account, as defined by the Plan,
     unless the participant chooses to leave the account balance in the Plan.
     Benefits are recorded when paid.


2.   SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

     The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the
     accrual method of accounting.

2.   SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts in the statement of changes
     in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.

     RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

     The Plan provides for various investment options in mutual funds and other
     securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as
     interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with
     certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that
     changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants'
     account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets
     available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available
     for benefits.

     INVESTMENTS

     The Plan's investments in shares of registered investment company mutual
     funds and the Company stock are valued at the last quoted sales price on
     the last business day of the year. Investments in commingled trust funds
     are valued at estimated fair values according to methods selected in good
     faith by the trustee. Participant loans are valued at the unpaid amount of
     the loan which is estimated to approximate fair value.

     Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade date basis. The
     basis for all securities sold is determined by average cost. Dividend
     income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded
     on the accrual basis. The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net
     assets available for benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in fair
     value of its investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses
     and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on those investments.

4.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Certain of the Plan's investments are shares of mutual funds managed by
     Fidelity Management Trust Company, the trustee of the Plan, as defined by
     the Plan agreement. Therefore, these transactions qualify as
     party-in-interest transactions for which a statutory exemption exists. Fees
     paid by the Plan for investment management services were nominal for the
     years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.

     The Company also qualifies as a party-in-interest and absorbs certain
     administrative expenses of the Plan. The Company paid approximately $32,000
     and $25,000 of administrative expenses on behalf of the Plan for the years
     ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Such transactions with the
     Company qualify for a statutory exemption.
