                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    (Unaudited)

1. INTERIM ACCOUNTING POLICY    
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have not
been audited by independent auditors, except for the balance sheet as
of December 31, 1995. In the opinion of the Company's management, the
accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's
financial position at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Certain footnote information has been condensed or omitted from these
financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. 
Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are not 
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The difference between primary and fully diluted net income per share 
was not material in any period.

actual cost (first-in, first-out), or market.
 

3.  INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes includes estimated federal and state income 
taxes at statutory rates and a deferred tax expense of $541,000 and deferred 
tax benefit of $68,000 for the first quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively. 
The Company's effective tax rate decreased from 33.5% in the first quarter 
of 1995 to 33.0% in the first quarter of 1996. This decrease was a result 
of changes in anticipated differences between income for financial statement 
purposes and taxable income for the two periods.

         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Net sales for the first quarter of 1996 were $65,584,000 an increase of 
26% over the first quarter of 1995. The Company's revenue growth is 
supported by increased unit sales of new and existing products in several 
product families as shown in the table below:

Gross margins declined slightly in the first quarter of 1996 to 49% from 50% 
in the first quarter of 1995.  The decline was a result of lower average 
selling prices and a sales-mix shift toward lower margin products.

Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the first quarter of
1996 increased 21% from the first quarter of 1995. The increase resulted
primarily from increased personnel costs due to increased headcount.  
R&D expenses as a percent of sales decreased from 13% in the first quarter 
of 1995 to 12% in the first quarter of 1996.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the first quarter 
of 1996 increased 24% compared with the first quarter of 1995. The 
increase in SG&A expenses resulted primarily from increased sales commission 
amounts due to higher net sales, increased personnel costs and increased 
advertising expenditures.

Operating income for the first quarter of 1996 increased 23% over the same
period in 1995. Operating income as a percent of sales remained constant at 
22% for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and April 2, 1995.   

Net interest income increased by $67,000 in the first quarter of 1996 
compared with the first quarter of 1995. The increase resulted primarily from 
higher average cash balances during the first quarter of 1996.  Changes in 
interest rates will continue to affect net interest income as will any 
substantial change in the amount of the Company's cash and short-term 
investments or borrowings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
- ------------------------------
The provision for income taxes includes estimated federal and state income 
taxes at statutory rates and a deferred tax expense of $541,000 and a deferred 
tax benefit of $68,000 in the first quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively. 
The Company's effective tax rate decreased from 33.5% in the first quarter of 
1995 to 33% in the first quarter of 1996. This decrease was a result of changes 
in anticipated differences between income for financial statement purposes and 
taxable income for the two periods.

A number of uncertainties exist that may influence the Company's future 
operating results, including general economic conditions, changes in 
conditions affecting original equipment manufacturers, competition 
(including alternative technologies), the Company's success in developing 
new products and process technologies, market acceptance of the Company's 
new products, the ability of the Company to continue diversifying its 
product line, manufacturing performance, availability and price 
fluctuations of raw materials, and other factors.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
Cash and short-term investments were $60.8 million at the end of the first 
quarter of 1996, compared with $69.3 million at the end of fiscal year 
1995. The decline in cash and short-term investments was primarily the 
result of net cash provided from operations during the quarter of $12.9 million 
offset by investments in property, plant, and equipment of $20.0 million.  
The Company continues to invest in financial instruments having 
maturities in excess of one year in order to obtain yields higher than 
those available in the short-term market.

Capital additions were $20.0 million in the first quarter of 1996,
compared to $6.0 million for the same period of 1995. The higher level of
capital expenditures related primarily to wafer fabrication and test 
equipment. Capital expenditures for 1996 are estimated to total
approximately $65.0 million and will be used primarily for wafer fabrication, 
manufacturing and test equipment, and computer hardware and software.

In 1994 the board of directors authorized the purchase from time-to-time,
depending on market conditions, up to 500,000 shares of the Company's 
common stock. As of March 31, 1996, a total of 215,900 shares, totalling 
$3,445,856 have been purchased pursuant to this stock repurchase program. 

On March 1, 1996, a $.03 dividend was paid on each outstanding share of 
common stock to shareholders of record on February 15, 1996, totalling
$793,000.  On April 23, 1996, a $.03 dividend was declared on each 
outstanding share of common stock, payable on June 1, 1996, to shareholders 
of record on May 15, 1996. 

The Company had no long-term debt at the end of the first quarter of 1996 
or at the end of fiscal 1995.
