3.  CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in four ground water claims, one of which is still in 
the early stages of the legal process.  The Company has filed a motion for
dismissal without prejudice on the other three claims and is awaiting approval
of the court.  In the one remaining case, based on investigations to date,
management does not believe the Company contributed to the alleged contamin-
ation and therefore is of the opinion that the disposition of this claim will
not result in any material change in the Company's financial condition,
results of operations or liquidity.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales increased from $95.0 million in the first half of 1994 to $129.1
million in the first half of 1995.  This increase of 36% reflects increased
sales of many of the Company's products, particularly products for the commun-
ications, computing and digital audio markets.  Growth in sales occurred in
all geographic areas and was favorably impacted by changes in U.S. dollar/
foreign currency exchange rates, particularly for the Japanese Yen and the 
German Mark.  The increase in the Company's net sales also reflects increased
overall product demand throughout the semiconductor industry.  Unit volumes
increased significantly in the 1995 period compared to 1994 while average
selling prices decreased somewhat compared to the 1994 period, due largely to
changes in the Company's product mix.

Second quarter bookings of $74 million were up 51% compared to the same period
in 1994.  Bookings for the first six months were $150 million, up 54% from the
first six months of last year.  The book-to-bill ratio increased slightly for
the quarter to 1.07 compared to 1.03 for the second quarter of 1994.

The 1995 second quarter's gross profit, 49% of net sales, is an increase of two
percentage points over last quarter's margin and an increase of one percentage
point compared to 1994's second quarter, primarily resulting from increased
utilization of manufacturing capacity due to increased sales volume.  The
Company's gross margins remained relatively constant at approximately 48% for
the first six months of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994. This reflects
the combined effect of a substantial increase in the Company's sales volumes
that resulted in a higher utilization of its manufacturing capacity, offset by
a change in product mix to faster growing but lower margin products in com-
munications, computing and digital audio.

Product development expenses increased from $10.5 million in the first half
of 1994 to $12.7 million in the first half of 1995 while decreasing from 11.1%
to 9.9% of net sales.  The Company's long-term strategy is to increase this
spending level, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net sales.  
During the first half of 1995, the Company established a separate technology
development department focused on process development in order to assist in
this critical area.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $28.0 million in
the first half of 1994 to $32.4 million in the first half of 1995.  This 
represents a reduction of selling, general and administration expenses from
29.5% of net sales in 1994 to 25.1% in 1995.  The substantial percentage 
decrease reflects the allocation of such expenses over substantially higher
sales volumes, the increased percentage of sales made through independent 
distributors, and benefits from the consolidation of the Company's European
sales and marketing operations in the fourth quarter of 1994.

As a result of the above-described effects, net income increased substantially
from $3.7 million in the first half of 1994 to $11.5 million in the first half
of 1995.  Net income was also impacted by interest and other expenses of $1.7 
million in the 1994 period compared to $1.1 million in the 1995 period and by
a first half 1994 tax provision of 32% compared to a tax provision of 27% for
the same period in 1995.  The tax rates for both the 1994 and 1995 periods 
have been favorably impacted by the expected utilization of net operating loss
and tax credit carryforwards as well as a greater increase in United States
profits than the increase in profits from foreign operations which have higher
income tax rates than the United States.

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS

The Company's future operating results cannot necessarily be predicted based
on past performance, due to a number of factors affecting the Company and the
semiconductor industry.  The semiconductor industry is influenced by rapidly
changing technology, the supply and price of raw materials, increased competi-
tion, price erosion, international monetary values and economic conditions
generally. The Company's future success also rests in its ability to make new
product introductions that are timely, achieve market acceptance and produce
acceptable margins.  Although the Company believes it has adequate resources
to sustain its current operations, its financial results may be significantly 
affected by the above and other factors. 

FINANCIAL CONDITION

For the six months ended July 1, 1995, the Company generated a net cash flow
from operations of $15 million, an increase of $8 million over the corres-
ponding period in 1994.  Cash and cash equivalents increased $4 million from
December 31, 1994.

Net inventories decreased 8% or $4 million compared to the same period in 1994,
reflecting the Company's continued progress toward reducing its inventory to
sales ratio.  The Company's inventory levels increased 3% when compared to the
1994 end-of-year balance due to increasing production levels to meet customer
demands.  

Plant and equipment expenditures for the six month period totaled $10 million
while planned capital investments for the entire year are anticipated to range
between $22 million and $26 million.  Capital expenditures in the first six 
months of 1995 related to enhanced business information systems and equipment
necessary to increase manufacturing capacity.  Planned capital investments
for 1995 should primarily be financed by cash from operations, cash reserves,
and, if needed, by borrowing under existing credit lines.

Current assets increased 8% compared to the previous quarter while current
liabilities increased only 4%, causing the Company's current ratio to improve.
The Company's current ratio was 1.89 at July 1, 1995.  In addition to its
outstanding term debt, the Company had approximately $63 million in credit
facilities available with domestic and overseas banks at the end of the second
quarter, of which approximately $19 million or 30% was utilized.  Management
believes the Company has sufficient capital resources available for the next
12 months.

The Company is a named party in a toxic tort case filed in Pima County
Superior Court on January 13, 1992.  The Company attempted informal negotia-
tions with the plaintiffs for dismissal that were ultimately unsuccessful.  On
September 29, 1993, the Company then answered and denied liability. The Company
is named in three other toxic tort cases that were filed in U.S. District
Court on September 20, 1991, August 7, 1992, and January 9, 1995, respectively.
They are consolidations of individual lawsuits that sought damages for contam-
inating ground water which was then pumped from public wells and consumed. 
The Company has filed a motion for dismissal without prejudice on these three
cases and is awaiting approval of the court.

After undertaking extensive hydrological investigations and consultation with
independent environmental consultants, management does not believe the Company
contributed to any alleged contamination and, therefore, is of the opinion 
that the disposition of the claims described above will not result in any
material change in the Company's financial condition, results of operations or
liquidity.  However, environmental litigation is inherently uncertain, and
there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of the claims.
