4)  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
    No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31,
    1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method
    currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior
    periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per
    share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. Basic EPS
    calculated in accordance with Statement No. 128 would be the same net income
    per share for the second quarter ended June 29, 1997 and greater net income
    per share for the second quarter ended June 30, 1996 by $0.02 per share. For
    the six months ended June 29, 1997 and June 30, 1996, net income per share
    would be greater by $.01 and $.05 per share, respectively. Diluted earnings
    per share for the periods reported approximates net income per share as
    reported.

5)  The Company changed the state of incorporation from California to Delaware
    in May of 1997. As a result of that change, no par Common Stock became $.01
    par Common Stock under the State of Delaware Corporation laws. As of
    December 31, 1996, the Balance Sheet has been retroactively adjusted to
    reflect the $.01 par value.

6)  On July 21, 1997, the Company announced that it would be purchased by TPG
    Partners II, L.P. for $25 per share, subject to the satisfaction of certain
    conditions prior to closing. The transaction is being accounted for as a
    recapitalization, which would result in TPG owning 90% of the voting shares.

         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following table presents unaudited results.  The Company believes that all
necessary adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, have
been included in the amounts shown below to state fairly the selected quarterly
information when read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements included elsewhere herein.  Interim results are based on fiscal
quarters of thirteen weeks in duration ending on the last Sunday of each
quarter.  The operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative
of results for any subsequent quarter or the full fiscal year.  All tabular
information is provided in thousands, except per share amounts and percentages.

Sales

         The Company's quarterly operating results have and will vary because
of a number of factors, including the timing and success of new product
introductions, changes in product mix, volume, timing and shipment of orders
and fluctuations in manufacturing productivity.  Quarter- to-quarter sales
comparisons are also subject to customer order patterns and seasonality.
Because the Company's products are available from both the Company and
distributors, the customer's decision to buy from a distributor or directly
from the Company can affect Zilog's quarterly sales and profitability.  See
"Factors That May Affect Future Results" for a discussion of additional
considerations which may affect the Company's future operating results.

         Sales decreased 16.6% for the second quarter of 1997 from the
comparable quarter of 1996, and decreased 15.1% for the first half of 1997
compared to the same period of 1996.  During the quarter, sales decreased
primarily because of lower modem sales in the datacommunications market.
Overall unit volume has increased in the second quarter of 1997 when compared
to the same quarter of 1996.  However, volume growth was offset by lower
average selling prices.  The Company currently anticipates that revenues for
the three months ended September 28, 1997 will not exceed the revenues
generated during the three months ended June 29, 1997.

         During the second quarter of 1997, over-capacity in the industry led
to price pressure on many of the Company's product lines.  The Company is
uncertain for how long this trend may continue.  Domestic sales accounted for
39.0% of revenues in the second quarter of 1997, representing a decrease from
the second quarter of 1996 when domestic sales accounted for 47.6% of revenues.
The fastest growing international area is Hong Kong.

</TABLE>


         The Company's cost of sales represents the cost of its wafer
fabrication, assembly and test operations.  Cost of sales fluctuates, depending
on manufacturing productivity, product mix, equipment utilization and
depreciation.  Cost of sales increased as a percentage of sales in the second
quarter of 1997 to 63.9% from 55.6% in the same quarter of 1996.  For the six
months ending June 29, 1997, cost of sales increased to 63.4% from 54.4%
compared with the same period of 1996.  The increase in the percentage of cost
of sales to sales for both the second quarter of 1997 and for the year to date
was attributable to additional depreciation expenses, lower average selling
prices and a shift in product mix.

         Research and development expenditures increased during the second
quarter of 1997 in absolute dollars and  as a percentage of sales when compared
to the same period of 1996.  The increase in research and development dollars
for the second quarter of 1997 is primarily attributable to an increase in
costs for outside consulting services associated with new product development.

         The Company introduced nine new products during the quarter.  Of
these, six products were for the consumer market and three for the
datacommunications market.

         The Company plans to invest a major portion of its estimated $50
million capital expenditures budget for 1997 in a new research facility with
the capability of designing to a .35 micron feature size in mixed signal
processes.  The Company believes that achieving commercial production of this
process will be important to continued introduction of new products in its
chosen markets.  The Company remains committed to new product development and
manufacturing process technology.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in dollars and
as a percentage of sales during the second quarter of 1997 when compared to the
same period of the prior year.  The increase in the dollar amount of selling,
general and administrative expenses during the quarter is essentially due to
recruiting and sales-related expenses.  The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales in the second quarter of 1997,
as compared to the same period of 1996, is attributable to lower sales in 1997.

         Other income net increased to $1,344 in income in the second quarter of
1997 from $103 of expenses for the same period in 1996. The primary reason for
the increase was that the Company received royalty income for two quarters
during the second quarter of 1997 because a licensee withheld royalty payments
during the first quarter of 1997 while renegotiating an extension of a license
agreement. The agreement was successfully renegotiated during the second quarter
of 1997 and resulted in a royalty payment for two quarters. Royalty income is
dependent on end user volume and can vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

Taxes

         The provision for income taxes was 31.0% for the six months ended June
29, 1997 compared to 35.0% for the same period of 1996. The lower tax provision
for 1997 is primarily attributable to a larger impact of tax exempt revenue and
foreign income taxed at a lower than U.S. rate.


Proposed Merger with Texas Pacific Group

         On July 21, 1997, the Company announced that it signed an Agreement and
Plan of Merger with TPG Partners II, L.P. Pursuant to that Agreement, TPG will
purchase approximately 93.3% interest in Zilog for $25.00 per share. The
remaining shares will be retained by existing shareholders of the Company to
permit the transaction to be afforded recapitalization accounting treatment.
Warburg, Pincus Capital Co. L.P. and related affiliates ("Warburg") have
committed to elect to retain up to 400,000 shares, ensuring that all
shareholders who do not elect to retain stock in the Company will receive $25.00
in cash for their shares.

         Following the merger, TPG will own approximately 90% of Zilog's voting
common stock and the shares to be retained will represent the remaining 10% of
the voting shares. In addition, TPG will own non-voting common stock that will
increase its overall economic interest in Zilog to approximately 93.3%. The
shares to be retained will have an economic interest of approximately 6.7%. It
is not expected that Zilog will have publicly listed shares following the
merger.

         The Board of Directors of Zilog has approved the merger agreement. The
merger, which is subject to completion of the contemplated financing, requires
Zilog shareholder and regulatory approvals and is expected to be consummated
early in the fourth quarter of 1997. Warburg has agreed to vote its shares,
which represent approximately 27% of Zilog's current shares outstanding, in
favor of the merger. The Company has filed a Merger Agreement as an Exhibit to
its Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 22, 1997.


Factors That May Affect Future Results

         A number of uncertainties exist that may affect the Company's future
operating results, including efffects of the announcement of the planned merger,
uncertain political and general economic conditions, market acceptance of the
Company's new products, the Company's ability to introduce new products and
technologies on a timely basis, changes in product mix or fluctuations in
manufacturing yield that affect the Company's gross margins, and numerous
competitive factors.

         The present increased activity in mergers and acquisitions in the
electronics marketplace involves Zilog and Zilog's customers. When such mergers
and acquisitions occur at Zilog's customers, there may be some interruption in
customer ordering patterns as inventories are rebalanced, or the historic Zilog
revenue stream with the customer may change significantly as new ownership
redirects marketing priorities.

         During 1996, Zilog introduced a total of 48 new products for its
datacommunications, intelligent peripheral controller and consumer product
lines.  The success of these new products is dependent on a number of factors,
including the Company's ability to continue to achieve design wins for these
products and the  Company's ability to manufacture the products in sufficient
quantities to meet anticipated demand.  New products may exhibit technological
defects which may impede market acceptance if defects are not resolved
promptly.  The Company believes that a significant portion of its future
revenues will come from these new products.  Gross margins for new products are
generally higher and are expected to somewhat offset price reductions in older
products.

         The Company's operating results will depend, to a significant extent,
on its ability to continue to introduce new products.  The success of new
product introductions is dependent on several factors, including proper new
product selection, timely completion and introduction of new product designs,
development of support tools and collateral literature that make complex new
products easy for engineers to understand as well as use, and market acceptance
of customers' end products.

         During the second quarter of 1997, Zilog introduced 9 new products.
There can be no assurance that any new products will receive or maintain
substantial market acceptance, nor can there be assurance that the Company will
continue to introduce new products at a similar pace to that established over
the past year.

         Operating results could be adversely affected if the Company is unable
to develop and implement new design and process technologies.  Design and
process technology advances are extremely complex areas subject to rapid
technological change and significant risk.  New product designs must be
completed in time to meet market requirements, and volume production of new
products at acceptable yields must be achieved for business plan operating
results to be realized.  New products anticipated from and introduced by Zilog
could create uncertainty in the marketplace and cause customers to defer or
alter design wins or purchasing decisions.  Additionally, new products or
product enhancements from competitors of  the Company, or significant pricing
pressures, could have an adverse impact on the Company's operating results.

         As is typical in the semiconductor industry, the Company has from time
to time experienced lower than anticipated production yields.  Operating
results could be adversely affected if any problems occur that make it
difficult to produce the quantities of commercial product that the Company
anticipates producing in its Mod III facility and its new research and
development fabrication line expected to begin operations in 1997.  Such
difficulties include but are not limited to: equipment being delivered later
than or not performing as expected; process technology changes not operating as
expected; engineers not operating equipment as expected; and other possible
problems.  The Company cannot at this time foresee with certainty any such
problems, but such problems have occurred in the past in the start-up and ramp
of production in  new facilities.  The Company is also experiencing certain
inflationary pressures in labor and materials.  Operating results could be
affected if the Company is unable to pass these cost increases in labor, raw
materials and capital equipment through to the Company's customers.

         The Company has used outside wafer foundries and assemblers to supply a
portion of its manufacturing needs, and the Company expects to continue to rely
on one or more wafer foundries and assemblers for a portion of its manufacturing
needs. No assurance can be given that these foundries will not raise prices or
meet expected delivery quantities. In addition, no assurance can be given that
the Company or its outside wafer foundries or assemblers will not experience
production yield problems in the future which could result in an adverse effect
on the Company's results of operations. The prolonged failure of the Company to
increase production capacity, obtain wafers or assembly services from outside
suppliers as needed could adversely affect the Company's operating results.

         Certain of the Company's products are incorporated into disk drives,
printers, keyboards and modems. As a result, a slowdown in the demand for
personal computers and related peripherals could adversely affect the Company's
operating results. A significant portion of the Company's sales are to the
consumer electronics markets for use in products such as television sets,
infrared remote controls and telephone answering machines. The consumer
electronics markets are subject to volatile and rapid changes in customer
preferences for electronics products that could adversely impact the Company's
results.

         Because of the foregoing, as well as other factors affecting the
Company's operating results, past financial performance should not be considered
to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use
historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. In
addition, the Company participates in a highly dynamic industry that may result
in significant volatility of Zilog's common stock price.

decreased to $36,817 in the second quarter of 1997 from $41,611 in the same
quarter of 1996. Inventory levels decreased to $29,695 from $34,092 due to the
Company carrying less raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods as a
result of the lower sales level.

         The Company expects to make total capital additions of approximately
$50 million in 1997.  These expenditures will primarily be used for the design,
construction and equipping of the Company's new wafer fabrication and research
facility in Nampa, Idaho and other engineering capital expenditures.  The
expansion will provide increased production capacity and research facilities.

           To the extent that the proposed merger with TPG is not consummated,
the Company believes its current cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investment balances, together with funds expected to be generated from
operations, will provide adequate cash to fund the Company's anticipated
liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.  The Company may also use
bank borrowings and capital leases, depending on the terms available.  The
Company's cash requirements in the future may also be financed by a combination
of additional equity or debt financing.
