Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments 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 28, 1995.

     Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment are
recorded at cost.  Effective May 29, 1995, the Company prospectively
changed its method of accounting for depreciation from the 150 percent
declining balance method to the straight-line method for machinery and
equipment placed in service on or after that date.  The change was
adopted because it conforms with predominant industry practice and it is
expected to result in a more appropriate distribution of the cost of the
new machinery and equipment over its estimated useful life.  The effect
of the change was not material to the Company's consolidated financial
statements for the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal
1996.  Assets placed in service prior to 1996 and assets other than
machinery and equipment continue to be depreciated using prior years'
depreciation methods consisting of both straight-line and declining
balance methods over estimated useful lives, or in the case of property
under capital lease and leasehold improvements, over the lesser of the
estimated useful life or lease term.

Note 4.  Debt Financing
In September 1995, the Company completed a private placement of
convertible subordinated notes in the total amount of $258.8 million to
certain qualified investors and overseas persons.  Interest is payable
semi-annually beginning April 1, 1996 at an annual rate of 6.5 percent. 
The notes, which mature in 2002, are not redeemable by the Company prior
to October 3, 1998.  Thereafter, the notes are redeemable at the option
of the Company, initially at 103.714 percent of face value and at
decreasing prices thereafter to 100 percent at maturity, plus accrued
interest.  The notes are convertible, at any time, into shares of the
Company's common stock at an initial conversion price of $42.78 per
share and are subordinated to senior indebtedness of the Company.  The
notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act
of 1993 and may not be offered or sold within the United States absent
registration or exemption from such registration requirements.

Note 5.  Preferred Stock Redemption
In November 1995, the Company called for the redemption on December 1,
1995 of all outstanding shares of its $32.50 Convertible Preferred
shares. As a result of the redemption, on December 1, 1995 each
Convertible Preferred share was automatically converted into 35.273
shares of the Company's common stock for a total of 12.2 million shares
of common stock. This transaction will be reflected in the Company's
financial statements for the third fiscal quarter ending February 25, 1996.

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


Sales    Net sales of $711.6 million and $1,410.4 million for the second
quarter and first six months of fiscal 1996 increased by 21.8 percent
and 23.9 percent, respectively, over the comparable periods of fiscal
1995, led by an increase in sales for analog and mixed signal products
of 27.2 percent and 30.9 percent, respectively, for the same periods.
The Company's focus on analog and mixed signal market opportunities
continues to drive the growth in sales, as analog and mixed signal
products grew to 58.3 percent and 58.8 percent of total sales for the
second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1996 from 55.8 percent and
55.7 percent of total sales, respectively, for the comparable periods of
fiscal 1995.  This shift toward analog and mixed signal products is
reflected in the lower growth rate for bipolar and CMOS logic and memory
product sales of 11.0 percent and 12.9 percent for the second quarter
and first six months of fiscal 1996 compared to the comparable periods
of fiscal 1995.  Sales of these products represent 20.6 percent and 20.7
percent of total sales for the second quarter and first six months of
fiscal 1996, down from 22.6 percent and 22.7 percent, respectively, for
the comparable periods of fiscal 1995.  Sales for the remaining product
lines decreased to 21.1 percent and 20.5 percent of total sales for the
second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1996 from 21.6 percent for
each of the comparable periods of fiscal 1995. 


Gross Margin    Gross margin rose to 44.0 percent and 43.5 percent for
the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1996, from 43.1
percent and 42.6 percent, respectively, for the comparable periods of
fiscal 1995.  The improvement is attributable to the continued shift in
product portfolio towards higher margin analog and mixed signal
products, which provide gross margins in excess of 50 percent, as well
as the Company's strategy to maintain the market for  older logic products
and de-emphasize the merchant market for EPROM memory products. 


Research and Development    Research and development expenses increased
overall by 32.4 percent and 30.6 percent for the second quarter and
first six months of fiscal 1996 over the comparable period of fiscal
1995 and as a percent of sales increased to 12.5 percent and 12.3
percent for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1996 from
11.5 percent and 11.7 percent, respectively, for the comparable periods
of fiscal 1995.  The increase is attributable to the Company's continued
investment in the development of new analog mixed signal products, as
well as submicron CMOS process technology.


Selling, General, and Administrative     The overall increase in
selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses of 18.7 percent
and 22.0 percent for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal
1996 over the comparable periods of fiscal 1995 was attributable to
increases in sales support costs and marketing activities proportional
to increased sales and increases in contributions to employee
compensation and benefit plans, including the employee retirement and
savings program and the success sharing incentive plan, reflecting the

<PAGE> 8
Company's increased profitability.  SG&A expenses decreased slightly as
a percent of sales to 18.1 percent and 18.3 percent for the second
quarter and first six months of fiscal 1996 from 18.6 percent for each
of the comparable periods of fiscal 1995.  The decrease reflects the
results of a number of cost management programs the Company implemented
during the second quarter to maintain cost growth rate below sales
growth rate.


Interest Income and Interest Expense     Interest income increased $2.7
million and $3.3 million, to $7.8 million and $13.6 million,
respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1996
compared to the comparable periods of fiscal 1995.  Interest expense
increased to $5.2 million and $7.8 million from $1.5 million and $2.3
million, respectively, for the comparable periods of fiscal 1995.  While
the increase in interest income was the result of higher average
earnings rates on higher cash balances, it was offset by a greater
increase in interest expense associated with the $258.8 million convertible 
subordinated notes issued by the Company in a private placement which was 
completed in September 1995, as well as increased borrowing levels related to
the Company's continued investment in plant and equipment.  


Other Income, net     Other income was $8.0 million and $16.0 million
for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1996, compared to
$4.0 million and $8.8 million, respectively, for the comparable periods
of fiscal 1995.  Included in other income for the second quarter and
first six months of fiscal 1996, is net intellectual property income of
$8.0 million and $10.8 million, respectively.  Other income for the
first six months of fiscal 1996 also includes $5.2 million of realized
gains from sale of investments, net of losses.  This compares to net
intellectual property income of $4.7 million and $9.5 million,
respectively, for the comparable periods of fiscal 1995, plus $4.3
million of realized gains from sale of investments, net of losses,
offset by a one-time royalty charge of $5.0 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1995.

Income Taxes     The effective tax rate for fiscal 1996 is approximately
25 percent compared to 20 percent for fiscal year 1995.  The increase in
the annual effective tax rate primarily relates to the exhaustion of
certain net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.


Financial Condition     During the first six months of fiscal 1996, cash
and cash equivalents increased $77.6 million compared to a $56.5 million
decrease for the first six months of fiscal 1995.  The increase was
primarily the result of the $130.5 million generated from cash flows
from operations compared to $107.5 million for the same period of fiscal
1995, together with proceeds of $253.3 million, net of issuance costs,
from the private placement of convertible subordinated notes offset by
the Company's continued investment in property, plant and equipment of
$277.3 million, an increase of $118.2 million over capital expenditures
for the same period of fiscal 1995.

<PAGE> 9
Management foresees significant increased cash outlays for plant and
equipment to continue throughout fiscal 1996.  Existing cash and
investment balances, together with existing lines of credit, are
considered to be sufficient in the immediate future to finance these
capital investments. 


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 and
communications industries and the general economy, competitive factors
and price pressures, market acceptance and timing of new products, and
international economic conditions.  The Company believes gross margins
as a percentage of sales will experience modest improvement through
fiscal 1996 as new capacity comes on line and demand continues for its
higher margin analog and mixed signal products. The Company has experienced
a general decline in the rate of growth in orders since the end of
fiscal 1995. Unless the rate of growth in orders increases, there can
be no assurance that the Company will continue to sustain the same rate
of revenue growth it experienced during the first half of fiscal 1996.
Operating expenses as a percentage of sales are expected to remain at
existing levels.  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.  In
addition, the Company continues to pursue opportunities to develop joint
venture partnerships or potential acquisitions which enhance its product
portfolio in analog and mixed signal products.  Similarly, the Company
continues to critically evaluate product lines and divisions where short
or long term prospects do not coincide with its overall strategic
direction.  In these cases, the Company will consider dispositions of
assets or business entities as appropriate.  

During the quarter, the Company signed an agreement to sell the assets
of its wholly owned subsidiary, DynaCraft, Inc. (DCI).  The sale is
expected to close during the third quarter of fiscal 1996, pending
necessary governmental approvals.  Prior to signing this agreement, the
Company announced the transfer of the Santa Clara manufacturing
operations of DCI to Penang, Malaysia.  In connection with the transfer,
the Company recorded a non-recurring charge to cost of sales in the
second quarter of fiscal 1996, primarily representing severance
expenses.  This charge, which was immaterial to the Company's financial
position or results of operations, was fully offset by a non-recurring credit
to costs of sales arising from the sale of the Company's adapter card segment
of its local area network business.  The combined effect of these two 
transactions had no impact on the Company's gross margin or net income for 
the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 1996.  The Company does
not expect any gain or loss resulting from the disposition of the DCI assets
to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
