NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)



NOTE 1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim financial information included herein is unaudited. In addition, the
financial information does not include all disclosures required under generally
accepted accounting principles because certain note information included in the
Company's annual report to shareholders has been omitted. Such information
should be read in conjunction with the prior year's annual report. However, the
financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The Company considers the
disclosures adequate to make the information presented not misleading.


NOTE 2  ACQUISITION OF NETWORK DEVICE, INC.

On April 24, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of privately-held
Network Device, Inc. ("NDI") of Sunnyvale, California. Approximately 2.67
million shares of common stock were exchanged for all outstanding shares of NDI.
Approximately 185,000 shares of Company stock were issued for the conversion of
NDI stock options into Company options.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and
accordingly, the prior period consolidated financial statements and related
notes included herein have been restated to include the combined results of
operations, financial position and cash flows of NDI. In recording the business
combination, NDI's prior period financial statements have been restated to
conform with the Company's year end.


NOTE 3  SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

The Company's short-term investments are classified as held-to-maturity. These
investments consist primarily of commercial paper and securities issued by
various federal agencies and corporations with original maturities of more than
90 days. Such short-term investments are carried at amortized cost, which
approximates fair value, due to the short period of time to maturity. Gains and
losses are included in investment income in the period they are realized.

For the periods ended October 1, 2000 and September 26, 1999, options to
purchase approximately 1.2 million and 72,000 shares, respectively, were
outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share
because the exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market
prices of the Company's common stock during those periods.

</TABLE>

SALES.  Sales increased 74.6% to $73.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal
2001 from $41.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. For the first six
months of fiscal 2001, sales increased 72.4% to $138.9 million from $80.6
million for the first six months of fiscal 2000. Orders increased 75.0% to $77.3
million for the second quarter of fiscal 2001, compared with $44.2 million for
the same period last year. The increase in sales and orders continues to be the
result of high growth experienced by our Semiconductor and Ceramic Products
Groups as a result of increased demand for wireless products and our ability to
penetrate the growing broadband market. Deliveries to two customers represented
approximately 25% and 14%, respectively, of our total sales for the second
quarter of fiscal 2001 compared with one customer, which represented 34% of our
sales for the same period last year. Deliveries to two customers represented
approximately 29% and 14% of our total sales for the first six months of fiscal
2001 compared with one customer, which represented 33% for the comparable period
last year.

GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit increased 87.1% to $33.7 million or 46.1% of sales
for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from $18.0 million or 43.0% of sales for
the comparable period last year. For the first six months of fiscal 2001, gross
profit increased 80.6% to $63.3 million or 45.6% of sales compared with $35.0
million or 43.5% of sales for the same period last year. The increase in gross
margin for the quarter and year to date was primarily the result of our
continued ability to leverage fixed costs and improve efficiencies, combined
with a more favorable product mix with higher value-added products.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses increased
52.5% to $8.8 million or 12.0% of sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2001
from $5.8 million or 13.8% of sales for the comparable period last year. For the
first six months of fiscal 2001, research and development expenses increased
49.3% to $16.7 million or 12.0% of sales from $11.2 million or 13.9% of sales
for the comparable period last year. The increase in research and development
expenses is due to our ongoing development of processes and applications within
our Semiconductor Products Group. For the second quarter and first six months of
fiscal 2001, over 90% of our total research and development expenses were
focused on the Semiconductor Products Group.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling and administrative expenses
totaled $10.8 million or 14.8% of sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2001
compared with $7.2 million or 17.1% of sales for the same period last year. For
the first six months of fiscal 2001, selling and administrative expenses totaled
$22.5 million or 16.2% of sales. Included in the $22.5 million was approximately
$1.8 million in one-time closing costs associated with the acquisition of
Network Device, Inc., which was completed on April 24, 2000. Excluding these one
time costs, selling and administrative expenses for the six months ended October
1, 2000 totaled $20.7 million or 14.9% of sales compared with $13.9 million or
17.2% of sales for the comparable period last year. The increase in selling and
administrative expenses was primarily attributable to increased sales
commissions resulting from higher sales volumes as well as increased costs
incurred in training and recruiting employees. Due to our continued ability to
support our sales growth without incurring substantial additional costs, selling
and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales declined for the quarter
and six months ended October 1, 2000 when compared to the same periods last
year.

OTHER INCOME, NET.  Other income, net, for the second quarter and first six
months of fiscal 2001 increased $267 thousand and $1.9 million, respectively,
over the comparable periods last year. These increases were primarily
attributable to an increase in interest income as a result of higher average
levels of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  Our effective tax rates for the first six months
of fiscal  2001 and 2000 were 34% and 36%, respectively.

SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTS.  Sales for the Semiconductor Products Group increased
81.9% to $61.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from $33.5 million
for the same quarter last year. For the first six months of fiscal 2001, sales
for the Semiconductor Products Group increased 77.6% to $113.9 million from
$64.2 million for the same period last year. The increase continues to be
attributable to increased demand and penetration into our two targeted markets -
wireless and broadband.

Operating income for the Semiconductor Products Group almost tripled to $12.0
million for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from $4.0 million for the
comparable quarter last year. For the six months ended October 1, 2000,
operating income increased 147.2% to $19.8 million from $8.0 million for the
comparable period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to
increased sales and improved operating efficiencies as this group continued to
leverage capacity and improve yields. In addition, this group continued its
focus on the development of processes and products for the wireless and
broadband markets, while continuing to control administrative costs.

CERAMIC PRODUCTS.  Sales for the Ceramics Group for the second quarter increased
45.6% to $12.2 million from $8.4 million for the same quarter last year. For the
first six months of fiscal 2001, sales for the Ceramics Group increased 52.0% to
$25.0 million from $16.4 million for the same period last year. The increase was
primarily attributable to growth in demand and increased penetration in the
wireless infrastructure and broadband markets.

Operating income for the Ceramics Group more than doubled to $2.1 million from
$1.0 million for the second quarter and increased 117.2% to $4.2 million from
$1.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2001 compared with the same
periods last year. The increase in operating income was primarily the result of
increased sales and improved operating efficiencies, including the leveraging of
capacity and increased manufacturing automation.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

At October 1, 2000 working capital totaled $181.2 million and included $133.2
million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Annualized
inventory turns for the six months ended October 1, 2000 increased to 10.8 from
10.1 for the comparable period last year. Additionally, average days sales
outstanding for the six months ended October 1, 2000 decreased to 55 from 58 for
the same period last year.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended October 1, 2000 totaled $27.6
million. Of the $27.6 million, approximately $8.8 million related to the
purchase of a 125,000 square foot manufacturing and office facility on a
forty-one acre site in Haverhill, Massachusetts. Initial operations at this site
will commence in January 2001 and include design engineering as well as
automated GaAs IC, silicon semiconductor and multi-chip module assembly and
testing. Expansion into Haverhill will provide space in our existing facility in
Woburn, Massachusetts for the expansion of our fabrication operations.

In September 1999, we announced the completion of the first phase of a major
expansion program to enhance and expand the available clean room space in our
GaAs IC facility in Massachusetts. The new clean room space is complete and in
use, and additional manufacturing equipment has been installed and brought to
full productivity. The second phase, which involved the installation of
additional production equipment within the existing facility, has been
completed. The third phase of this project involves the creation of a GaAs IC
line that would allow us to manufacture product on six-inch wafers. We are in
the initial phases of development of this six-inch wafer production line, which
is estimated to cost approximately $30 million dollars. We expect to complete
this phase within twelve to fifteen months. Once this new six-inch wafer
production line is in operation, we plan to convert our existing four-inch wafer
production areas to six-inch, as future demand requires.

We believe that anticipated cash from operations, available funds and borrowings
under our revolving credit agreement will be adequate to fund our currently
planned working capital and capital expenditure requirements, at least through
fiscal 2001.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivatives and hedging activities. In June 2000, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for
Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," an amendment to
SFAS No. 133. These statements require that an entity recognize all derivatives
as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those
instruments at fair value. These statements will be effective for our fiscal
2002. We are currently evaluating SFAS No.133 and SFAS No. 138. We do not expect
these new statements to have a material effect on our consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flow.

                                     PART I

ITEM 3  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk represents the risk of changes in the value of a short-term
investment and a financial instrument caused by fluctuations in investment
prices and interest rates.

The Company handles market risks in accordance with established policies. The
Company's risk-management activities include "forward-looking statements" that
involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements.

INVESTMENT PRICE RISK

The fair value of the Company's short-term investment portfolio at October 1,
2000 approximated carrying value due to its short-term duration. Market risk,
estimated as the potential decrease in fair value resulting from a hypothetical
10% decrease in interest rates for the issues contained in the investment
portfolio, is considered not to be material because of the short-term nature of
the investments.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The carrying value of the Company's long-term debt, including current
maturities, was approximately $396 thousand at October 1, 2000. Due to the
nature of the debt instruments, management has determined that the fair value
was not materially different from the quarter-end carrying value.


                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company does not have any material pending legal proceedings other than
routine litigation incidental to its business.

The Company has been notified by federal and state environmental agencies of its
potential liability with respect to the Spectron, Inc. Superfund site in Elkton,
Maryland. Several hundred other companies have also been notified about their
potential liability regarding this site. The Company continues to deny that it
has any responsibility with respect to this site other than as a de minimis
party. Management is of the opinion that the outcome of the aforementioned
environmental matter will not have a material effect on the Company's operations
or financial position.
