Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to three months ended September
30, 1999

Net revenues for the third quarter of 2000 were $67,851,000, an increase of
$18,478,000 (37.4%) as compared to $49,373,000 for the same period a year ago.
The growth in net revenues resulted primarily from a net increase of unit
shipments of standard and custom products of approximately $19,762,000 due to
increases in demand for first and second generation products.

Gross margin increased $8,659,000 (40.5%) to $30,030,000 from $21,371,000, and
increased as a percentage of net revenues from 43.3% to 44.3%. The primary
component of the increase in gross margin dollars and percentage was due to an
increase in net revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11,155,000 for the period, an
increase of $2,103,000 (23.2%) over the same period in 1999. As a percentage of
net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 16.4%
from 18.3%. The principal components of the $2,103,000 increase were $662,000
(21.1%) of increased compensation expense, $566,000 (44.5%) of increased sales
commission expense, $319,000 (233.3%) of increased legal expense and $285,000 of
payroll tax expense associated with the exercise of stock options.

                                VICOR CORPORATION

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                               September 30, 2000
                                   (continued)

Research and development expenses increased $29,000 (0.6%) to $4,962,000 and
decreased as a percentage of net revenues to 7.3% from 10.0%. The principal
components of the $29,000 increase were $238,000 (9.3%) of increased
compensation expense and $61,000 (25.4%) of increased research and development
costs associated with the operations of the Vicor Integrated Architects (VIA),
offset by $335,000 (40.0%) of decreased project materials costs.

Other income decreased $45,000 (5.7%) from the same period a year ago to
$743,000. Other income is primarily comprised of interest income derived from
invested cash and cash equivalents, as well as a note receivable associated with
the Company's real estate transaction. Other income decreased due to the
write-down of $390,000 for certain equipment no longer in use, offset by an
increase in interest income due to an increase in cash and cash equivalent
balances and an increase in average interest rates.

Income before income taxes was $14,656,000, an increase of $6,482,000 (79.3%)
compared to the same period in 1999. As a percentage of net revenues, income
before income taxes increased to 21.6% from 16.6% primarily due to the gross
margin increase generated by the increased net revenues, combined with a
decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues.

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2000 was 31.5%, compared to
32.0% for the same period in 1999.

Net income per share (diluted) was $.23 for the third quarter of 2000, compared
to $.13 for the third quarter of 1999, an increase of $.10.

Nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to nine months ended September 30,
1999

Net revenues for the first nine months of 2000 were $188,415,000, an increase of
$52,270,000 (38.4%) as compared to $136,145,000 for the same period a year ago.
The growth in net revenues resulted primarily from a net increase of unit
shipments of standard and custom products of approximately $58,091,000 offset by
a decrease in license revenue of $5,821,000. The decrease in license revenues
was primarily due to non-recurring payments from licensees for past use of
Vicor's intellectual property in 1999.

Gross margin increased $23,093,000 (39.2%) to $81,953,000 from $58,860,000 and
increased as a percentage of net revenues from 43.2% to 43.5%. The primary
components of the increase in gross margin dollars and percentage was the
increase in net revenues, partially offset by changes in the revenue mix.

                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                               September 30, 2000
                                   (continued)

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $32,035,000 for the period, an
increase of $5,540,000 (20.9%) over the same period in 1999. As a percentage of
net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 17.0%
from 19.5%. The principal components of the $5,540,000 increase were $1,594,000
(47.6%) increase in sales commission costs, $1,311,000 (13.8%) increase in
compensation expense, $664,000 (39.1%) in increased advertising costs and
$619,000 of payroll tax expense associated with the exercise of stock options.

Research and development expenses increased $628,000 (4.2%) to $15,581,000 and
decreased as a percentage of net revenues to 8.3% from 11.0%. The principal
component of the $628,000 increase was $1,208,000 (16.2%) of increased
compensation expense, offset by a $723,000 (26.1%) decrease in project material
costs.

Other income increased $416,000 (18.2%) from the same period a year ago, to
$2,698,000. Other income is primarily comprised of interest income derived from
invested cash and cash equivalents as well as from a note receivable associated
with the Company's real estate transaction. Other income increased primarily due
to an increase in interest income due to an increase in cash and cash equivalent
balances and an increase in average interest rates, partially offset by
write-downs of $550,000 for certain equipment no longer in use.

Income before income taxes was $37,035,000, an increase of $17,341,000 (88.1%)
compared to the same period in 1999. As a percentage of net revenues, income
before income taxes increased from 14.5% to 19.7% primarily due to the gross
margin increase generated by the increased net revenues.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was 31.5%,
compared to 32.0% for the same period in 1999.

Net income per share (diluted) was $.59 for the nine months ended September 30,
2000, compared to $.32 for the same period in 1999, an increase of $.27.

                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2000 the Company had $76,037,000 in cash and cash equivalents.
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 6.6:1 compared to 7.5:1
at December 31, 1999. Working capital increased $20,719,000, from $123,017,000
at December 31, 1999 to $143,736,000 at September 30, 2000. The primary factors
affecting the working capital increase were an increase in cash of $6,928,000
and accounts receivable and inventories of $20,467,000 offset by an increase in
current liabilities of $6,804,000. The primary sources of cash were $30,390,000
from operating activities and $7,549,000 from the issuance of Common Stock upon
the exercise of stock options. The primary uses of cash for the nine months of
2000 were for the acquisition of treasury stock of $19,646,000 and additions to
property and equipment of $11,932,000.

The Company plans to make continuing investments in manufacturing equipment,
much of which is built internally, particularly for the Company's second
generation products. The internal construction of manufacturing machinery, in
order to provide for additional manufacturing capacity, is a practice which the
Company expects to continue over the next several years.

In February 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the
repurchase of up to $30,000,000 of the Company's Common Stock, of which
approximately $13,500,000 remains available as of September 30, 2000. The plan
authorizes 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. During
the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, the Company spent $19,646,000
for the repurchase of its Common Stock under the current and a prior plan.

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 September 30, 2000, the Company had approximately
$1,700,000 of capital expenditure commitments.

The Company does not consider the impact of inflation and changing prices on its
business activities or fluctuations in the exchange rates for foreign currency
transactions to have been significant during the last three fiscal years.

ITEM 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to a variety of market risks, including changes in
interest rates affecting the return on its cash and cash equivalents and
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company's exposure to
market risk for a change in interest rates relates primarily to the Company's
cash and cash equivalents.

As the Company's cash and cash equivalents consist principally of money market
securities, which are short-term in nature, the Company's exposure to market
risk on interest rate fluctuations is not significant. Substantially all of the
Company's international sales are priced in U.S. dollars. As a result, the
Company's exposure to market risk for fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates relates primarily to the operations of Vicor Japan Company, Ltd. ("VJCL").
The Company believes that this market risk is currently not material due to the
relatively small size of VJCL's operations.

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

      The Company is involved in certain litigation incidental to the conduct of
      its business. While the outcome of lawsuits against the Company cannot be
