NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
- ------------------


1.  Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included
herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations, although the Company believes the
disclosures which are made are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that
these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report to
Stockholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
included herein reflect all adjustments (which include only
normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to state fairly the results for the
periods presented.  The results for such periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2000.


2.  Inventories

    Inventories consist of (in thousands):

                            								 December 31,    June 30,

4.	Comprehensive Income

Components of comprehensive income include net income,
foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gain
on equity securities available for sale.  As such,
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets represents cumulative foreign
currency translation adjustments and unrealized gain on
equity securities available for sale.  Comprehensive income
was $14,474,000 and $6,157,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and $21,594,000
and $13,167,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively.

5.   Net Income Per Share

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed
by dividing net income by the weighted average of common
shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per
share reflects the potential dilution from securities and
other contracts which are exercisable or convertible into
common stock.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common
shares that would have been outstanding during the period
assuming the issuance of common shares for all dilutive
potential common shares outstanding.  The difference between
the number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted
earnings per share is due to stock options outstanding
during the period.

6.   Common Stock Repurchases

During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company
repurchased 200,700 shares of its common stock on the open
market, bringing the cumulative number of shares repurchased
during the first half of the year to 453,800 shares compared
with 267,600 shares repurchased in the same period of the
previous fiscal year.  During all of fiscal 1999, the
Company repurchased 501,500 shares.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
	    CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations - Three Months Ended December 31, 1999 and
1998

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 were $48.1 million,
an increase of 8% from the $44.5 million reported for the same
period last year.  The Company experienced strong sales growth in
North America and Japan. Demand for products in certain markets in
Europe was weak during the quarter.  Had currency rates been the
same as in last year's second quarter, sales growth would have been
9%.

Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was 68.7%
compared with 63.4% for the second quarter last year.  Excluding a
nonrecurring charge related to the sale of inventory acquired which
had been written up as part of the purchase accounting of $2.0
million, gross margin in the same period last year was 67.8%.  The
higher gross margin was attributable to lower manufacturing costs
partially offset by the inclusion of Softron, whose products have a
lower gross margin than Dionex's historical product margins.  There
were no significant selling price changes between these periods.

Operating expenses of $18.9 million for the second quarter of
fiscal 2000 were down $3.3 million.  The decrease was due to the
write-off in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 of in-process
research and development acquired.  Excluding the nonrecurring
write-off, operating expenses increased $1.7 million, or 10%.  As a
percentage of sales, operating expenses, were 39% of sales,
unchanged from the 39% reported in the same period last year,
excluding the nonrecurring charge.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses (SG&A) of $15.0 million increased $1.4
million, or 10%, compared with $13.6 million reported in the same
period last year.  The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due
to higher selling related expenses.

Research and development (R&D) costs of $3.8 million increased
$244,000, or 6%, from the $3.6 million, reported in the same period
last year.  The increase was attributable to the inclusion of
Softron.  The level of R&D spending varies depending on both the
breadth of the Company's R&D efforts and the stage of specific
product development.

- ------------------


Interest income was $236,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2000,
$39,000 higher than the $197,000 reported in the second quarter
last year.  The increase in interest income was due to higher
average cash balances.

Interest expense was $138,000, an increase of $20,000 compared with
$118,000 reported in the second quarter last year.  The increase
was due to additional short-term borrowings.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was
32.5%, compared with 33.5% in the second quarter a year ago.
Variations in the tax rate reflect changes in the mix of taxable
income among the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company
does business.

Net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was $9.6 million
compared with the $4.0 million reported in the second quarter last
year. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $.43 and $.41
respectively, compared with $.18 and $.17 reported for the same
period last year. The nonrecurring charges reduced basic and
diluted earnings per share in fiscal 1999 by $.21 and $.20,
respectively.

Results of Operations - Six months ended December 31, 1999 and
1998

Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 1999 were $89.9
million, an increase of 13%, compared with the $79.4 million
reported for the same period last year. The Company experienced
strong sales growth in North America and Japan.  Sales in Europe
weakened in the second quarter of fiscal 2000.  Currency
fluctuations had no affect on sales growth during the first half
of fiscal 2000.

Gross margin for the first six months of fiscal 2000 was 68.2%
compared with 65.6% reported for the same period last year.
Excluding a nonrecurring charge in the first half of fiscal 1999
related to the sale of inventory acquired which had been written
up as part of the purchase accounting, gross margin was 68.0%.
There were no significant selling price changes between these
periods.

Operating expenses for the six months ended December 31 1999 were
$36.3 million, a decrease of $900,000 compared with $37.2 million
reported for the same period last year.  Excluding the
nonrecurring write-off of in-process research and development,
operating expenses increased $4.1 million, or 13%, and as a
percentage of sales, operating expenses were 40%, compared with
41% from the same period last year.  SG&A expenses were $28.8
million, an increase of $3.6 million or 14%, compared with $25.2
million reported for the same period last year.  The increase in
SG&A expenses was attributable to the inclusion of Softron for
the full six months and increased selling related costs.

R&D expenses for the six months ended December 31, 1999 were $7.5
million, an increase of $480,000, or 7%, from the $7.0 million
reported in the same six-month period last year.  The increase
was attributable to the inclusion of Softron and an increase in
personnel related costs.  The level of R&D spending varies
depending on both the breadth of the Company's R&D efforts and
the stage of specific product development.

Interest income for the six months ended December 31, 1999 was
$456,000, virtually unchanged from the same period last year.

Interest expense of $239,000 was $96,000 higher than the $143,000
reported for the first half last year.  The interest expense
increase was due to additional short-term borrowings.

The effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2000
was 32.5%, compared with 33.5% in the first half a year ago.
Variations in the tax rate reflect changes in the mix of taxable
income among the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company
does business.

Net income in the first half of fiscal 2000 was $17.0 million
compared with $10.1 million reported in the same period last year.
Basic and diluted earnings per share were $.76 and $.72 respectively,
compared with $.45 and $.43 per share in same period of last year.
The nonrecurring acquisition related charges reduced basic and
diluted earnings per share by $.21 and $.20, respectively during the
first six months of fiscal 1999.  Basic and diluted earnings per
share were favorably affected by the Company's stock repurchase
program.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 1999, the Company had cash and cash investments of
$9.6 million.  The Company's working capital was $41.7 million at
December 31, 1999, an increase of $6.9 million from the $34.8 million
reported at June 30, 1999.  Cash generated by operating activities
for the six months ended December 31, 1999 was $10.8 million compared
with $18.2 million for the same period last year.  The decrease in
spending cash flow was due to an increase in inventory and lower
accrued liabilities.  During the first half of fiscal 2000 the
Company repurchased 453,800 shares for $19.1 million.

Capital expenditures during the first half of fiscal 2000 were $2.7
million.  This includes $1.2 million in construction in progress
related to the building project in Japan.

At December 31, 1999, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $1.7
million consisting of borrowings by its Japanese subsidiary and
Softron.  At December 31, 1999, the Company had bank lines of credit
totaling $38.4 million.  The Company believes its cash flow from
operations, its existing cash and cash investments and its bank lines
of credit will be adequate to meet its cash requirements for the
remainder of the fiscal year.

The impact of inflation on Dionex Corporation's financial position
and results of operations was not significant during the six months
ended December 31, 1999.

Year 2000 Compliance

Many older computer software programs refer to years in terms of
their final two digits only.  Such programs may interpret the year
2000 to mean the year 1900 instead.  If not corrected, those programs
could cause date-related transaction failures.  Beginning in fiscal
1997, the Company started a process to review its internal systems
for year 2000 compliance.  Testing of the internal systems was
substantially completed during fiscal 1998 and the Company believes
its current internal systems are compliant.  Dionex believes the
products it is currently shipping are year 2000 compliant as well.
To date, the Company has spent approximately $150,000 related to year
2000 compliance, primarily in capital expenditures to replace certain
predecessor capital items.  The Company has not experienced any
significant year 2000 disruptions related to its internal systems or
its products.

<PAGE>
The Company has made public statements to customers regarding the
state of year 2000 preparedness for its products; however, the
possibility of product liability claims still exists.  To date, the
Company has not received communications from any of its major
customers regarding year 2000 disruptions.  Additionally, the Company
contacted numerous vendors to assess their progress in addressing the
year 2000 issue. To date, the Company has not received any
communication from any of its vendors concerning year 2000
disruptions.  Based upon results to date and our assessments and
testing, the Company does not believe that the year 2000 issue will
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position,
results of operation or cash flows. If any disruptions do occur, the
Company's financial position and results of operations could be
materially adversely affected.  The Company believes it has adequate
resources and would use them to resolve significant year 2000 issues
in a timely manner.
