                        DALLAS SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION
              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 January 2,
2000. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to
conform with the current period presentation. 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 July 2, 2000 and January 2, 2000, 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 January 2, 2000. Results of operations
for the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

2.  LICENSE FEES

Revenue from the licensing of the Company's intellectual property is recognized
as contractual obligations are met and revenue is earned.

3.  SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

The Company considers all liquid interest-earning investments with a maturity of
three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Short-term
investments generally mature between three months and five years from the
purchase date. Short-term investments consist of corporate notes, municipal
bonds, commercial paper and money market funds. Such investments are carried at
amounts that approximate their fair market value based on quoted market prices.

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

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements as a result of the factors set forth elsewhere in
this report. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in
such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there can
be no assurance that such expectations will be achieved.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the second quarter of 2000 were $129,768,000, an increase of 39%
over the second quarter of 1999. The Company's revenue by product group is shown
in the table below.

</TABLE>

The Company's backlog at any particular date may not be representative of actual
sales for any succeeding period because lead times for the release of purchase
orders depend upon the scheduling practices of individual customers, the
delivery times can be affected by scheduling factors and other manufacturing
considerations, the rate of booking new orders can vary significantly from month
to month, and the possibility of customer changes in delivery schedules or
cancellations of orders.

Gross margins increased for the first six months of 2000 to 52.2% from 51.7%
during the same period in 1999. Gross margins increased in the second quarter of
2000 to 52.5% from 51.7% in the second quarter of 1999. Gross margins increased
primarily due to efficiencies resulting from higher production volumes.

Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the second quarter of 2000
increased 30% from the second quarter of 1999 due primarily to higher personnel
costs. R&D expenses for the first six months of 2000 increased 27%, as compared
to the same period in 1999. R&D expenses as a percent of sales decreased to
12.4% from 13.2% for the second quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively. R&D
expenses as a percent of net sales decreased to 12.3% for the first six months
of 2000 from 13.2% during the same period in 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased 32% for the
second quarter of 2000 and 28% for the first six months of 2000 as compared to
the same periods in 1999. The increase was due primarily to higher personnel
costs. SG&A expenses as a percent of net sales was 15.0% for the three and six
month periods ended July 2, 2000 as compared to 15.8% and 15.9% respectively,
for the same periods ended July 4, 1999.

Operating income increased 54% and 50% for the second quarter of 2000 and the
first six months of 2000 over the same periods in 1999, respectively. Increased
sales and gross margins, partially offset by higher operating expenses, produced
higher operating income in both periods. Operating income as a percent of sales
was 24.6% and 24.9% for the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2000 as
compared to 23.1% and 22.6% respectively, for the same periods ended July 4,
1999.

Net license fees, previously reported as a component of net sales, were
reclassified for all periods presented as a separate line item on the income
statement. Net license fees, were $590,000 and $1,103,000 for the first three
and six months of 2000 as compared to $393,000 and $1,006,000 for the first
three and six months of 1999. License fees are a direct result of successful and
ongoing efforts to license the Company's battery charger patents to third
parties. The amount and timing of future income from licensing agreements cannot
be precisely forecast.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2000 increased by $1,220,000 or
75% over the second quarter of 1999. Net interest income increased by $2,210,000
or 67% for the first six months of 2000 over the same period in 1999. The
increase in net interest income is due primarily to gains on the sales of
investments, higher average cash balances and an increase in the ratio of
taxable to tax exempt investments. Changes in interest rates will continue to
affect net interest income as well as any substantial change in the Company's
cash and short term investments.

The Company's effective tax rate was 32.5% in the second quarter and 32.4% for
first six months of 2000 as compared to 31.2% for the same periods in 1999. This
increase was primarily due to a decline in tax exempt interest income.

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, alternative
technologies, the Company's success in developing new products and process
technologies, accelerated declines in the average selling price of the Company's
existing products, changes in customer order patterns, market acceptance of the
Company's new products, distributor and sales representative performance, the
ability of the Company to continue diversifying its product line, accelerated
growth of inventory leading to excess inventory and salability and/or
obsolescence write-downs, excess production capacity, manufacturing performance,
subcontractor performance, availability and price fluctuations of raw materials,
and other factors. Any of these uncertainties could cause a severe near-term
impact on the Company's order growth, net sales growth, or results of
operations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash and short-term investments were $244.3 million at the end of the second
quarter of 2000, compared with $192.4 million at the end of fiscal year 1999.
The increase in cash and short-term investments was primarily the result of net
cash provided by operations during the first six months of 2000 of $99.2 million
being offset by investments in property, plant and equipment of $44.6 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 $30.0 million in the second quarter of 2000, compared to
$11.4 million for the same period of 1999. Capital expenditures for the second
quarter of 2000 related primarily to wafer fabrication and test equipment. Total
capital expenditures for 2000 are estimated to be approximately $125 million and
will be used primarily for wafer fabrication, manufacturing and test equipment.
Included in estimated capital expenditures for fiscal 2000 is approximately $25
million relating to the structural expansion of the Company's wafer fabrication
facility. This structural expansion, expected to be completed in March 2001 for
a total cost of approximately $40 million, will create additional clean room
space and related support areas needed for higher production levels. Depending
on wafer process complexity, the new space when fully equipped will expand the
Company's wafer production capacity by approximately 40 percent.

As amended in 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase from
time-to-time, depending on market conditions, of up to 2,000,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. As of July 2, 2000, a total of 1,359,913 shares,
totaling $28,051,590 have been purchased under this stock repurchase program and
recorded using the cost method.

A cash dividend of $0.0325 on each outstanding share of common stock, was paid
on June 1, 2000, to shareholders of record on May 15, 2000.
