     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
     been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
     for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations

     accounting principles for complete financial statements.

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
     recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
     been included. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended
     June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
     expected for the year ended December 31, 1996. For further information,

     in the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December
     31, 1995, contained in the Company's annual report filed on Form 10-K (File
     #0-18277) with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

4. Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
   -----------------------------------------

     The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121
     ("SFAS 121"), Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
     Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, which requires impairment losses to be
     recorded on the long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
     impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
     generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. SFAS
     121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected
     to be disposed of. The adoption of SFAS 121 has no impact on the financial
     position or results of operations of the Company as no indicators of
     impairment currently exist.

     The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), Accounting and Disclosure of Stock-Based
     Compensation. The Company will continue to account for its stock-based
     compensation arrangements under the provisions of APB 25, Accounting for
     Stock Issued to Employees.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                                  June 30, 1996


Except for historical information contained herein, some matters discussed in
this report constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Actual results could differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of the risk
factors set forth in this report and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1995. Reference is made in particular to the
discussions set forth below in this Report under "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and set forth in the
Annual Report on Form 10-K under Item 1 -- "Business -- Next-Generation
Automated Manufacturing Line," "--Competition," "--Patents," and "--Licensing,"
and under Item 7 -- "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations."

Results of Operations
- - - ---------------------

Quarter ended June 30, 1996, compared to quarter ended June 30, 1995
- - - --------------------------------------------------------------------

Net revenues for the second quarter of 1996 were $36,702,000, an increase of
$1,577,000 (4.5%) as compared to $35,125,000 for the same period a year ago. The
increase in net revenues was primarily due to an increase of unit shipments of
standard products.

Gross margin increased $825,000 (4.3%) to $19,847,000 from $19,022,000, but
decreased slightly as a percentage of net revenues from 54.2% to 54.1%,
primarily due to changes in the revenue mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,772,000 for the period, an
increase of $1,556,000 (29.8%) over the same period in 1995. As a percentage of
net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 18.5%
compared to 14.8% in 1995. The principal components of the $1,556,000 increase
were $377,000 (18.3%) of increased compensation expense due to growth in
staffing levels of selling and administrative personnel, primarily in the
international sales offices; $296,000 (200.1%) of VIA related expense (see the
discussion under "Liquidity and Capital Resources"); $229,000 (365.6%) of other
international sales office expenses; $147,000 (339.8%) of increased legal
expenses; and $102,000 (10.8%) of increased sales commission expense.

Research and development expenses increased $379,000 (12.9%) to $3,306,000 and
increased as a percentage of net revenues to 9.0% from 8.3%. The principal
component of the $379,000 increase was $346,000 (21.7%) of increased
compensation expense due to growth in staffing levels of engineering personnel.
The Company continues work on its next-generation products. The Company does not
expect revenues or earnings from this new product family to be material over the
next several quarters. See also the discussion under "Liquidity and Capital
Resources."

Other income decreased $137,000 (13.3%) from the same period a year ago, to
$893,000. Other income is primarily comprised of interest income derived from
cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and notes receivable
associated with the Company's real estate transactions in Andover,
Massachusetts. This decrease primarily reflects a decrease in the market
interest rates during the quarter as compared to the prior year.

Income before income taxes was $10,662,000, a decrease of $1,247,000 (10.5%)
compared to the same period in 1995. As a percentage of net revenues, income
before income taxes decreased from 33.9% to 29.1% primarily due to the increase
in operating expenses related to the Company's continued investment in
international expansion and VIA related expenses.

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

Net revenues for the first six months of 1996 were $72,508,000, an increase of
$3,597,000 (5.2%) as compared to $68,911,000 for the same period a year ago. The
increase in net revenues was primarily due to an increase of unit shipments of
standard products.

Gross margin increased $2,110,000 (5.7%) to $39,106,000 from $36,996,000, and
increased as a percentage of net revenues to 53.9% from 53.7%. The increase in
gross margin resulted primarily from changes in the revenue mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13,007,000 for the period, an
increase of $2,843,000 (28.0%) over the same period in 1995. As a percentage of
net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 17.9%
compared to 14.7% in 1995. The principal components of the $2,843,000 increase
were $812,000 (20.4%) of compensation expense due to growth in staffing levels
of selling and administrative personnel, primarily in the international sales
offices; $648,000 (380.2%) of VIA related expense; $446,000 (379.1%) of other
international sales office expenses; and $214,000 (136.6%) of increased legal
expenses.

Research and development expenses increased $1,260,000 (23.0%) to $6,748,000 and
increased as a percentage of net revenues to 9.3% from 8.0%. The principal
components of the $1,260,000 increase were $678,000 (21.7%) of compensation
expense due to growth in staffing levels of engineering personnel; VIA related
research and development costs of $180,000 (100.0%); and increased project
material costs of $180,000 (18.3%).

Other income decreased $30,000 (1.6%) to $1,883,000. Other income is primarily
comprised of interest income derived from cash and cash equivalents, short-term
investments, and notes receivable associated with the Company's real estate
transactions in Andover, Massachusetts.

Income before income taxes was $21,234,000, a decrease of $2,023,000 (8.7%)
compared to the same period in 1995. As a percentage of net revenues, income
before income taxes decreased from 33.7% to 29.3% primarily due to the increase
in operating expenses related to the Company's continued investment in
international expansion and VIA related expenses.

Net income per share for the first six months of 1996 was $.32, compared to $.34
for the first six months of 1995, a decrease of $.02 (5.9%).


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - - -------------------------------

At June 30, 1996 the Company had $61,567,000 in cash and cash equivalents. The
ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 9.2:1 compared to 7.3:1 at
December 31, 1995. Working capital increased $2,153,000, from $95,900,000 at
December 31, 1995 to $98,053,000 at June 30, 1996. The principal component of
the working capital increase was an increase in inventory of $2,679,000 during
the first six months of 1996. The primary use of cash for the first six months
of 1996, was for the acquisition of treasury stock of $8,812,000.

                                VICOR CORPORATION

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                                  June 30, 1996
                                   (continued)


The Company plans to make continuing investments in manufacturing equipment,
much of which is built internally. The internal construction of manufacturing
machinery is a practice which the Company expects to follow over the next
several years. All machinery and equipment, whether purchased externally or
built internally, are depreciated or amortized over five years after being
placed into service.

On June 27, 1996, the Company announced that it intends to begin introducing
selected models of its next-generation 700, 800 and 900 Series product families
for sale on September 3, 1996 and that it is planning a general introduction of
the three product families in the fall of 1996. The Company also announced
certain expected technical characteristics of the models to be introduced and
described an interactive computer-aided design tool that the Company is creating
to assist customers. In 1995, the Company had announced that it had started
prototype production on a new automated manufacturing line designed to
manufacture next-generation products. While management believes that the new
manufacturing line and the anticipated introduction of selected models of its
next-generation product families are important milestones, there can be no
assurance that problems will not substantially delay the ultimate introduction
of the products, require modification of product specifications or prevent
attainment of the anticipated capacity of the new manufacturing line.

In February, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the
repurchase of the Company's Common Stock up to an aggregate amount of
approximately $19,500,000, including amounts remaining under a prior
authorization. The plan authorized the Company to make such repurchases from
time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.
The timing of this program and the amount of the stock that may be repurchased
is at the discretion of management based on its view of economic and financial
market conditions. The Company spent $8,812,000 in the repurchase of its Common
Stock in the quarter ended March 31, 1996. There were no repurchases in the
quarter ended June 30, 1996.

In 1995, the Company established a number of Vicor Integration Architects
(VIAs), which are majority owned companies that seek to provide customers with
local design and manufacturing support for turnkey custom power solutions.

The Company has an unused line of credit with a bank under which the Company may
borrow up to $4,000,000 on a revolving credit basis. The Company believes that
cash generated from operations and the total of its cash and cash equivalents,
together with other sources of liquidity, will be sufficient to fund planned
operations and capital equipment purchases for the foreseeable future. At June
30, 1996, the Company had approximately $1,500,000 of capital expenditure
commitments.

The Company does not consider the impact of inflation on its business activities
to have been significant to date.

     The Company is involved in certain litigation incidental to the conduct of
