ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

     On April 9, 1998, the Company reported revenues of $260,392,000, and net
income of $17,727,000, or $0.18 per share, for the first quarter ended March 31,
1998. Included in the first quarter results is less than one month of the
operating results of the Temic Semiconductor Group (Temic), which the Company
acquired in March 1998. In the first quarter of 1997, the Company's revenues
were $252,946,000 and net income was $38,738,000, or $0.38 per share. The
Company's consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 1998 reflects a preliminary
allocation of the $108,000,000 purchase price of Temic, which resulted in an
increase in inventory, accounts receivables, fixed assets, current liabilities
and long-term liabilities. A portion of the purchase price will be allocated to
in-process research and development upon the completion of a valuation study
currently in process. The amount of in-process research and development expense
will be included in the results for the first quarter of 1998 when determined. 

     The following tables set forth condensed consolidated income statement data
(unaudited) of the Company for the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and
1997 and condensed consolidated balance sheet data at March 31, 1998 (unaudited)
and December 31, 1997. The operating results for any quarter are not necessarily
indicative of results for any subsequent period.
