NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1
- ------
In the opinion of management, the unaudited information for the
three months and six months ended September 30, 1996, include
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for fair presentation of financial condition and
results of operations for those periods in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from
audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements of Supertex,
Inc. for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, which were
included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K (File Number 0-12718).
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for
the full fiscal year.

During October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (SFAS 123), which establishes a fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. The
Company is currently following the requirements of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." The Company plans to adopt SFAS 123 during fiscal
1997 utilizing the disclosure alternative.
During March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of"
(SFAS 121), which requires the Company to review for impairment
of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and
goodwill related to those assets whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. SFAS 121 will become effective for the
Company's 1997 fiscal year. The Company does not expect SFAS
121 to have a material impact on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Certain Factors: This report contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933
and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934. Actual results
could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set
forth below and elsewhere in this report. The Company's sales
are concentrated in the high voltage semiconductor components
industry, which is highly competitive and rapidly changing.
Significant technological changes in the industry, changes in
customer requirements or the emergence of competitor products
with new capabilities or technologies could affect the Company's
operating results adversely. The Company currently buys all of
its silicon wafers, an integral component of its products, from
one supplier although other suppliers are being qualified.
Failure by this supplier to satisfy the Company's requirements
on a timely basis at competitive prices could cause a delay in
manufacturing and a possible loss of revenues, which would
affect operating results adversely.
Results of Operations
Net Sales: Net sales for the second quarter ended September 30,
1996 increased 19% to $12,290,000 from $10,359,000 of the same
quarter last year. Six months net sales of $25,381,000
increased 30% from the same period last year of $19,516,000.
Continued strength in our customers' markets contributed to this
increase in sales. During the six months ended September 30,
1996, approximately 52% of Supertex's shipments were to
international customers.
Gross Margin: Gross margin for the second quarter and six months
ended September 30, 1996 were 49% compared with 48% for the same
quarter and six months period of the prior year. A change in
the product mix, with resultant lower cost of goods manufactured
contributed to this small increase in gross margin.
Manufacturing costs have been relatively stable from period to
period, with small variations of a few percentage points from
one period to another primarily due to product mix changes.
Research and Development: As a percentage of net sales, R&D
expenses were 9% of net sales for the quarter, and 10% of net
sales for the six months ending September 30, 1996. This
compares with 13% of net sales for the three months and six
months periods of last year. Dollar expenditures remain about
the same at $1,223,000 for the three months ($2,534,000 for the
six months) ended September 30, 1996 versus $1,321,000 for three
months ($2,604,000 for six months) corresponding periods last
year despite increases in sales and in number of development
projects. The cost controls implemented at the beginning of
this fiscal year have been effective. The Company intends to
invest heavily at the same dollar rate in its new product and
process development efforts.
Selling, General and Administrative: Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the second quarter and six months
ended September 30, 1996 were 12% of net sales, compared with
14% of net sales for the same corresponding periods of the prior
year. Fixed costs remained fairly constant from year to year in
this category, with sales commissions increases in line with
increased sales this year.
Interest and Other Income: Interest and other income for the
second quarter of the current year was $365,000, a 19% increase
from $307,000 for the same period last year. For the six months
ended September 30, 1996, interest and other income also
increased 13% from the corresponding period of the prior year.
Increased cash available for short-term investments accounted
for this increase.
Provision for Income Taxes: The Company's effective tax rate for
the six months ended September 30, 1996 was 32%, an increase
from 31% for the same period of last fiscal year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources: On September 30, 1996, the
Company had $25,374,000 in cash, cash equivalents and short term
investments, compared with $22,389,000 on March 31, 1996. This
increase is mostly due to positive cash flow from operating
activities consisting principally of net income and an increase
in liability accounts, and partially offset by an increase in
receivables. Net cash used in investing activities as of second
quarter of fiscal year 1997 is $15,415,000, which consisted
mainly of purchases of short-term investments. Net cash
provided by financing activities is $290,000 from the proceeds
of stock option exercises. The Company anticipates that
available funds and cash expected to be generated from operations
will be sufficient to meet cash and working capital requirements
through the end of fiscal year 1997.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: During October 1995, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123), which
establishes a fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based compensation plans. The Company is currently
following the requirements of Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". The
Company plans to adopt SFAS 123 during fiscal 1997 utilizing the
disclosure alternative.
During March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of"
(SFAS 121), which requires the Company to review for impairment

goodwill related to those assets whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. SFAS 121 will become effective for the
Company's 1997 fiscal year. The Company does not expect SFAS
121 to have a material impact on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.
