Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated 
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal 
recurring adjustments (except as discussed in Note 2 and Note 3), 
necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of 
operations of National Semiconductor Corporation and its subsidiaries 
("National" or the "Company").  Interim results of operations are not 
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 
This report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated 
financial statements and notes thereto included in the annual report on 
Form 10-K for fiscal year ended May 29, 1994.

     Securities held-to-maturity and available-for-sale:  Effective the 
beginning of fiscal 1995, the Company prospectively adopted Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain 
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("FAS 115").  The effect of 
adopting FAS 115 was not material to the consolidated financial 
statements.  Prior to implementing FAS 115, the Company's investments 
were carried at the lower of cost or market value.  Under FAS 115, the 
Company has classified its investments in certain debt and equity 
securities as "held-to-maturity" or "available-for-sale".

Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has 
the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. 
Held-to-maturity securities are recorded as either short-term or long-
term on the balance sheet based upon the contractual maturity date and 
are stated at amortized cost. 

Marketable equity securities and debt securities not classified as held-
to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale 
securities are recorded as short-term securities on the balance sheet 
and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net 
of tax, reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity.  The 
amortized cost of debt securities in this category is adjusted for 
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, both of which 
are included in interest income.  Realized gains and losses and declines 
in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale 
securities are included in interest income.  The cost of securities sold 
is based on the specific identification method.

     Effective the beginning of fiscal 1995, the Company adopted 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' 
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions" ("FAS 112"); 
the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial 
statements.  

Note 2.  Results of Operations  
Included within selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") is 
net intellectual property income of $4.7 million for the second quarter 
and $9.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 1995, compared to 
$2.5 million and $4.6 million for the respective 1994 periods.  Also 
included is intellectual property expense of $6.7 million for the second 
quarter and $6.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 1995, 
compared to $1.8 million and $2.5 million for the respective 1994 
periods.  In addition, the Company sold investments in the second 
quarter of both fiscal 1995 and 1994 resulting in a $4.3 million gain 
recorded in 1995 and a $2.2 million gain recorded in 1994.  The first 
six months of fiscal 1994 include centralization costs of $10.3 million 
for the sales distribution facilities, of which $3.8 million was 
recorded in the second quarter.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


Sales    Sales were flat during the second quarter and first six months 
of fiscal 1995 compared to the 1994 periods, led by a slowdown in sales 
of bipolar logic products.  In addition, current quarter sales reflect 
the effects of continued efforts to prune older commodity logic products 
from the product offerings, replacing them with higher margin products 
serving vertical markets.  Analog and mixed signal product sales, which 
include standard linear products, analog, telecommunications, local area 
network, and wireless chips, mass storage devices, and many other mixed 
signal solutions, continue to grow and represent 56 percent of net sales 
during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1995, compared 
to 52 percent in the 1994 periods.  Sales were flat from a year ago 
quarter in both the Company's Standard Products Group ("SPG"), which 
represents approximately 70 percent of the Company's net sales, and in 
the Communications and Computing Group ("CCG"), which represents 
approximately 30 percent of the Company's net sales.  Sales in the 
European region were stronger in the current quarter compared to a year 
ago; however, this increase was offset by a softness in the Southeast 
Asia region.

Gross Margin    During both the second quarter and first six months of 
fiscal 1995, gross margins increased to 43 percent from 42 percent and 
41 percent for the respective 1994 periods.  The improvement reflects 
the continued shift in the product portfolio towards higher margin 
analog and mixed signal products and increased utilization of wafer 
fabrication capacity.  Current quarter gross margin  includes a one-time 
vendor credit and a foreign government grant totaling $6.5 million.  
Gross margins for analog and mixed signal products were approximately 52 
percent for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1995, 
compared to 51 percent and 50 percent for the respective 1994 periods.

Research and Development    Research and development ("R&D") expenses 
were up slightly as a percentage of sales for the second quarter and 
first six months of fiscal 1995 to 11.5 percent and 11.7 percent 
compared to 11.2 percent and 11.3 percent for the respective 1994 
periods.  The Company directs 70 percent of its R&D efforts toward 
analog and mixed signal products.

Selling, General, and Administrative     Selling, general, and 
administrative ("SG&A") expenses were relatively flat as a percentage of 
sales at approximately 18 percent for the second quarter and first six 
months of fiscal 1995 compared to the 1994 periods.  Included within 
SG&A expense is net intellectual property income of $4.7 million for the 
second quarter and $9.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 1995, 
compared to $2.5 million and $4.6 million for the respective 1994 
periods.  Also included is intellectual property expense of $6.7 million 
for the second quarter and $6.9 million for the first six months of 
fiscal 1995, compared to $1.8 million and $2.5 million for the 
respective 1994 periods.  In addition, the Company sold investments in 
the second quarter of both fiscal 1995 and 1994 resulting in a $4.3 
million gain recorded in 1995 and a $2.2 million gain recorded in 1994.  
The first six months of fiscal 1994 include centralization costs of 
$10.3 million for the sales distribution facilities, of which $3.8 
million was recorded in the second quarter.  Exclusive of the above 
items, SG&A expenses were $106.8 million and $209.5 million for the 
second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1995 or 18 percent of 

<PAGE>

sales and $103.3 million and $199.9 million for the second quarter and 
first six months of fiscal 1994 or 18 percent of sales.  The increase in 
SG&A expense in absolute dollars is primarily attributable to annual 
increases in salaries for all employees, additional promotional costs, 
and increased costs for certain employee benefit plans.

Interest Income and Interest Expense     Net interest income increased 
to $4 million and $8 million for the second quarter and first six months 
of fiscal 1995 compared to $2 million and $4 million for the respective 
1994 periods.  The increase in net interest income relates to an 
increase in average interest rates compared to a year ago and a slightly 
higher cash and investment balance during the first six months of fiscal 
1995.  The increase in interest income was somewhat offset with an 
increase in interest expense compared to the second quarter of fiscal 
1994 due to the assumption of debt related to a facility repurchased in 
the quarter.

Income Taxes     The effective tax rate for fiscal 1995 is 20 percent 
compared to 15 percent for fiscal 1994.  The increase in the annual 
effective tax rate primarily relates to the exhaustion of certain net 
operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  In the current quarter, 
the Company reversed the valuation allowance reserve against specific 
deferred tax assets based upon continuing profits recorded in certain 
jurisdictions.

Financial Condition     During the first six months of 1995, cash and 
cash equivalents decreased $57 million.  The Company generated $109 
million positive cash flow from operations for the six months ended 
despite increased cash used for accounts payable and accrued expenses 
including cash paid for income taxes.  In addition, the Company recorded 
$37 million in deferred tax assets related to the recognition of 
anticipated tax benefits associated with such deferred assets. Investing 
activities used $133 million during the first six months of fiscal 1995 
driven primarily by purchases of property, plant and equipment of $159 
million and investments of $12 million.  During the quarter, the Company 
repurchased the equity interest in one of the facilities it had sold during 
fiscal 1988 and leased back, using approximately $12 million in cash and 
assuming $23 million in debt.  The debt was paid in full at the 
beginning of the third quarter.

During the current quarter, the Company renewed its multicurrency and 
revolving financing agreements which provide funds in the form of 
multicurrency loans, letters of credit and standby letters of credit in 
favor of the Company.  The multicurrency agreement ($30 million) expires 
December 31, 1995, and the revolving financing agreement ($200 million) 
expires December 31, 1997.  These agreements contain restrictive 
covenants, conditions and default provisions which, among others, 
require the maintenance of financial ratios and certain levels of 
tangible net worth.  Management believes existing cash and investment 
balances, existing financing agreements, cash provided by operations, 
and cash generated from issuance of stock to employees will be 
sufficient to fund anticipated capital expenditures and other investing 
and financing activities through the foreseeable future.

<PAGE>

Outlook     Despite continued improvement in the financial results, 
future trends for revenue and profitability continue to be difficult to 
predict.  Risks and uncertainties facing the Company include business 
conditions and the rate of growth in the personal computer industry and 
the general economy, competitive factors and price pressures, market 
acceptance and timing of new products, and international economic 
conditions.  The Company believes it has the product portfolio and the 
financial and technical resources necessary for success; however, future 
revenue and profitability cannot be precisely determined at this time.  
National continues to pursue opportunities to leverage its intellectual 
property; however, the timing and amount of future licensing income 
cannot be forecast with certainty at this time.

401(k) and 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and

WHEREAS, the Employer has been authorized by its Board of Directors to

Eligibility

2.01  Eligibility
A Participant or Beneficiary shall be eligible to receive an Annual 
Profit Sharing Restoration Amount in any Plan Year in which he qualifies 
for an allocation of the Employer's Annual Profit Sharing Contribution 
under the RASP but the amount of the benefit to which he is entitled is 
reduced by reason of the application of the limitations set forth in 
Sections 401(a)(17) or 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code.  A Participant or 
Beneficiary shall be eligible to receive an Annual Savings Restoration 
Amount in any Plan Year in which he makes the maximum permitted deferral 
under the RASP, as determined by the Committee, and his compensation is 
in excess of an amount determined by the Committee for such Plan Year.  
A Participant or Beneficiary shall be eligible to receive an Annual 
Matching Restoration Amount in any Plan Year in which his compensation 
exceeds the limitations set forth in Section 401(a)(17) of the Code and 
he elects to defer at least 6% of his compensation under Section 5.02 A. 
of the RASP.

ARTICLE III

Benefits

3.01  Benefits.
The maximum benefits under this Plan to which an eligible Participant or 
Beneficiary shall be entitled shall be equal to the sum of the vested 
Annual Profit Sharing Restoration Amount, the Annual Savings Restoration 
Amount, and the Annual Matching Restoration Amount, plus Interest on 
such sum.

3.02  Annual Profit Sharing Restoration Amount.
The Annual Profit Sharing Restoration Amount to which an eligible 
Participant or Beneficiary shall be entitled shall be an amount equal to 
the difference, if any, between (a) and (b) below:

      (a)   The amount of the Employer's Annual Profit Sharing 
Contribution which would have been allocated to a 
Participant or Beneficiary under the RASP if the Annual 
Profit Sharing Contribution were determined pursuant to 
Section 5.01 B.3. of the RASP and the allocation were 
determined pursuant to Section 6.03 A. of the RASP without 
giving any effect to the limitations imposed by Sections 
401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code, as now or hereafter in 
effect; less

      (b)   The amount of the Employer's Annual Profit Sharing 
Contribution allocated to the Participant or Beneficiary 
under the RASP.

<PAGE>

3.03  Annual Savings Restoration Amount.
The maximum Annual Savings Restoration Amount from which an eligible 
Participant or Beneficiary may make an Elected Contribution shall be 
equal to the difference, if any, between (a) and (b) below:

      (a)   The amount that the Participant could defer if the maximum 
percentage deferral determined by the Committee under 
Section 5.02 A. of the RASP were applied to the 
Participant's Compensation, and the Participant's Elected 
Contribution under the RASP were not subject to Sections 
401(k), 402(g)(1) or 415 of the Code, as now or hereafter in 
effect; less

      (b)   The amount of the Participant's Elected Contribution under 
the RASP.

The Participant's Annual Savings Restoration Amount shall be equal to 
the Participant's Elected Contribution.

3.04  Annual Matching Restoration Amount.
The Annual Matching Restoration Amount to which an eligible Participant 
or Beneficiary shall be entitled shall be an amount equal to the 
difference, if any, between (a) and (b) below:

      (a)   The lesser of (1) 6% of the Participant's Compensation, 
without giving any effect to the limitations imposed by 
Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, as now or hereafter in 
effect, or (2) the limit imposed by Section 402(g) of the 
Code; and

      (b)   6% of the Participant's Compensation as limited by Section 
401(a)(17) of the Code,

multiplied by 50%, or any other percentage as the Board may determine 
for a given Plan Year under Section 5.03 A. of the RASP. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the matching 
contribution that would otherwise be made on behalf of a Participant 
under Section 5.03 of the RASP is reduced in accordance with the 
requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code, such Participant's Annual 
Matching Restoration Amount shall be likewise limited in accordance with 
rules established by the Committee.

3.05  Participant's Account.
The Employer shall create and maintain adequate records to reflect the 
interest of each Participant in the Plan.  Such records shall be in the 
form of individual Accounts.  When appropriate, a Participant's Account 
shall consist of a profit sharing restoration subaccount, a savings 
restoration subaccount, and a matching restoration subaccount.  Such 
Accounts shall be kept for recordkeeping purposes only and shall not be 
construed as providing for assets to be held in trust or escrow or any 
other form of asset segregation for the Participant or Beneficiary to 
whom benefits are to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

<PAGE>

3.06  Allocation to Participant Account and Interest.
The Participant's Annual Savings Restoration Amount shall be credited to 
the Participant's Account as of the date such amount would have been 
paid to such Participant as remuneration for services, and the 
Participant's Annual Profit Sharing Restoration Amount and Annual 
Matching Restoration Amount shall be credited to the Participant's 
Account as of the last day of a Plan Year.  The Participant's balance in 
his Account shall be credited with Interest at such times and in such 
manner as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.

3.07  Vested Percentage.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Participant shall be 
100% vested at all times in the amounts credited to his savings 
restoration subaccount and his matching restoration subaccount.  A 
Participant shall be vested in the amount credited to his profit sharing 
restoration subaccount to the same extent as the Participant is vested 
in his Profit Sharing Accounts, in accordance with Article VIII of the 
RASP; provided, however, that forfeited amounts shall not be reallocated 
among Plan Participants but shall be restored to the forfeiting 
Participant upon reemployment, in accordance with the procedures set 
forth in Article VIII of the RASP.

ARTICLE IV

Distribution of Benefit

4.01  Separation from Service.
The benefits attributable to the Annual Profit Sharing Restoration 
Amount plus Interest thereon and the Annual Matching Restoration Amount 
plus Interest thereon shall be distributed in a lump sum upon 
termination of employment for any reason (including retirement, 
disability or death) and the benefits attributable to the Annual Savings 
Restoration Amount plus Interest shall be distributed in a lump sum upon 
the earlier of termination of employment for any reason (including 
retirement, disability or death) or a date preselected by the 
Participant either upon eligibility to participate under the Plan or 
upon such date or dates as may be determined by the Committee.

4.02  Hardship.
Payment of part or all of the benefits under this Plan may be 
accelerated in the case of severe hardship, which shall mean an 
emergency or unexpected situation in the Participant's financial 
affairs, including, but not limited to, illness or accident involving 
the Participant or any of the Participant's dependents.  All payments in 
case of hardship must be approved by the Committee.

<PAGE>

ARTICLE V

Administration; Amendments and Termination; Rights Against the Company

5.01  Administration.
The Committee shall administer this Plan.  With respect to the Plan, the 
Committee shall have, and shall exercise and perform, all the powers, 
rights, authorities and duties set forth in the RASP with the same 
effect as if set forth in full herein with respect to this Plan.  Except 
as expressly set forth herein, any determination or decision by the 
Committee shall be conclusive and binding on all persons who at any time 
have or claim to have any interest whatever under this Plan.

5.02  Amendment and Termination Prior to a Change in Control.
The Employer, solely, and without the approval of the Committee or any 
Participant or Beneficiary, shall have the right to amend this Plan at 
any time and from time to time, by resolution adopted by it.  Any such 
amendment shall become effective upon the date stated therein.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall adversely affect the 
rights of any Participant or Beneficiary who was previously receiving 
benefits under this Plan to continue to receive such benefits or of all 
other Participants and Beneficiaries to receive the benefits promised 
under the Plan immediately prior to the later of the effective date or 
the date of adoption of the amendment.

The Employer has established this Plan with the bonafide intention and 
expectation that from year to year it will deem it advisable to continue 
it in effect.  However, circumstances not now foreseen or circumstances 
beyond the Employer's control may make it impossible or inadvisable to 
continue the Plan.  Therefore, the Employer, in its sole discretion, 
reserves the right to terminate the Plan in its entirety at any time; 
provided, however, that in such event any Participant or Beneficiary who 
was receiving benefits under this Plan as of the termination date, shall 
continue to receive such benefits, and all other Participants and 
Beneficiaries shall remain entitled to receive the benefits promised 
under the Plan immediately prior to the termination of the Plan.

5.03  Rights Against the Employer.
The establishment of this Plan shall not be construed as giving to any 
Participant, Beneficiary, employee or any person whomsoever, any legal, 
equitable or other rights against the Employer, or its officers, 
directors, agents or shareholders, except as specifically provided for 
herein, or its giving to any Participant any equity or other interest in 
the assets, business or shares of the Employer or giving any employee 
the right to be retained in the employment of the Employer.  All 
employees and Participants shall be subject to discharge to the same 
extent that they would have been if this Plan had never been adopted.  
Subject to the rights of the Employer to terminate this Plan or any 
benefit hereunder, the rights of a Participant hereunder shall be solely 
those of an unsecured creditor of the Employer.

ARTICLE VI

General and Miscellaneous

6.01  Spendthrift Clause.
No right, title or interest of any kind in the Plan shall be 
transferable or assignable by any Participant or Beneficiary or any 
other person or be subject to alienation, anticipation, encumbrance, 
garnishment, attachment, execution or levy of any kind, whether 
voluntary or involuntary.  Any attempt to alienate, sell, transfer, 
assign, pledge, garnish, attach or otherwise encumber or dispose of any 
interest in the Plan shall be void.

6.02  Severability.
In the event that any provision of this Plan shall be declared illegal 
or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not 
affect the remaining provisions of this Plan but shall be fully 
severable, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said 
illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

6.03  Construction of Plan.
The article and section headings and numbers are included only for 
convenience of reference and are not to be taken as limiting or 
extending the meaning of any of the terms and provisions of this Plan.  
Whenever appropriate, words used in the singular shall include the

The personal pronoun of the masculine gender shall be understood to 
apply to women as well as men except where specific reference is made to 
one or the other.

6.05  Governing Law.
THE VALIDITY AND EFFECT OF THIS PLAN AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF 
ALL PERSONS AFFECTED HEREBY SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND DETERMINED IN 
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE 
OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS OTHERWISE APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF 
CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

6.06  Unfunded Top Hat Plan.
It is the Employer's intention that this Plan be a Top Hat Plan, defined 
as an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing 
deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly 
compensated employees, as provided in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 
401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as 
amended from time to time.  The Employer may establish and fund one or 
more trusts for the purpose of paying some or all of the benefits 
promised to Participants and Beneficiaries under the Plan; provided, 
however, that (i) any such trust(s) shall at all times be subject to the 
claims of the Employer's general creditors in 

<PAGE>

the event of the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Employer, and 
(ii) notwithstanding the creation or funding of any such trust(s), the 
Employer shall remain primarily liable for any obligation hereunder.  
Notwithstanding the establishment of any such trust(s), the Participants 
and Beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial 
ownership interest in, any assets of any such trust or of the Employer.

6.07  Divestment for Cause.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary, the 
right of any Participant, former Participant or Beneficiary of either to 
receive or to have paid to any other person, or the right of any such 
other person to receive any benefits attributable to the Annual Profit 
Sharing Restoration Amount plus Interest hereunder or the Annual 
Matching Restoration Amount plus Interest hereunder, shall be forfeited, 
if such Participant's employment with the Employer is terminated because 
of or the Participant is discovered to have engaged in fraud, 
embezzlement, dishonesty against the Employer, obtaining funds or 
property under false pretenses, assisting a competitor without 
permission, or interfering with the relationship of the Employer or any 
subsidiary or affiliate thereof with a customer.  A Participant's or 
Beneficiary's benefits shall be forfeited for any of the above reasons 
regardless of whether such act is discovered prior to or subsequent to 
the Participant's termination from the Employer or the payment of 
benefits under the Plan.  If payment has been made, such payment shall 
be restored to the Employer by the Participant or Beneficiary.

<PAGE>

ERISA Rights

This Plan is intended to provide benefits for a select group of highly-
compensated employees within the meaning of the Employee Retirement 
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  However, it is not subject to most 
of the requirements of ERISA nor is the Plan eligible for insurance 
under Title IV of ERISA.  Furthermore, the Plan is considered to be an 
unfunded, non-qualified plan for purposes of complying with the Internal 
Revenue Code.

If you believe your benefit under the Plan has been denied, in whole or 
in part, you should file a claim with the Retirement and Savings Program 
Administrative Committee. Your claim will be reviewed using the same 
procedures as those described in the Summary Plan Description for the 
RASP.
