NOTE 3.        CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is party to two environmental proceedings.  The first involves
property that the Company vacated in 1972. The California Regional Water Quality
Board issued a cleanup and abatement order to both the Company and the current
owner of the property.  The Company subsequently reached a settlement of this
matter with the current owner in which the current owner indemnifies the Company
against any liability that may arise out of any governmental agency actions
brought for environmental cleanup of the site, including liability arising out
of the current cleanup and abatement order.  The second proceeding involves the
Company's current facility in Santa Clara. The Company is currently engaged in
certain remedial action and has accrued the expected future cost.

     In management's opinion, based on discussion with legal counsel and other
considerations, the ultimate resolution of the above-mentioned matters will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position
or results of operations.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Revenues for the third quarter of 1995 increased 28% against the third
quarter of 1994. Worldwide sales for the first nine months of 1995 increased 22%
versus the first nine months of 1994. Power MOSFET products account for most of
this increase with 49% growth in the third quarter of 1995 versus the third
quarter of 1994. This increase is primarily due to growth in the computer and
telecommunication markets in the Company's Asia Pacific region. The Company is
currently capacity constrained as the demand for its Power MOSFETs remains
strong. The Company plans to increase silicon capacity in the fourth quarter of
1995 and into 1996 for all of its Power products.

     Gross profit for the third quarter of 1995 increased to 39.9% of revenues
from 36.4% in the third quarter of 1994. Gross profit for the first nine months
of 1995 increased 25% over the first nine months of 1994. Margins improved for
the third quarter of 1995 and the first nine months of 1995 as compared to the
same periods in 1994 due to favorable pricing because of increased market demand
and due to higher volumes in the production areas.

     Research and development expenditures as a percentage of revenues for the
third quarter of 1995 were 7% as compared to 7.8% for the third quarter of 1994.
For the first nine months of 1995 research and development expenses as a
percentage of revenues were 7.8% as compared to 8.2% for the first nine months
of 1994. Research and development expenses are on plan for 1995 but are smaller
as a percentage of revenues than in 1994 because of the unexpectedly high
revenues achieved in 1995. The Company remains committed to the development of
future products and intends to add the necessary resources to bring its research
and development expenditures in line or exceed the previous years as a
percentage of revenues.

     Selling, marketing, and administration expenses as a percentage of revenues
for the third quarter of 1995 were 20% as compared to 21% for the third quarter
of 1994. The first nine months of 1995 remain at 21% of revenues as compared to
23% for the first nine months of 1994. This decrease as a percentage of revenues
is due to revenues increasing at a faster rate compared to selling, marketing
and administration expenses.

     Interest expense increased 37% in the first nine months of 1995 to $1.9
million, up $.5 million over the first nine months of 1994. The increase is the
result of higher short-term market interest rates during the first nine months
of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994 on the Company's long term
related party debt.

     Other income for the first nine months of 1995 was $.4 million as compared
to other expense of $.5 million for the first nine months of 1994. Other income
for the first nine months of 1995 is comprised mainly of interest income whereas
other expense for the first nine months of 1994 was comprised mainly of losses
on disposal of assets which were of a non-recurring nature.


                                  Page 7 of 11

<PAGE>

     Income tax expense increased in the third quarter of 1995 to $.5 million
from $.2 million in the third quarter of 1994. Tax expense for the first nine
months of 1995 as compared to the first nine months of 1994 increased as a
result of the reduction in net operating loss carryforwards available in 1995
and the increase in earnings before taxes.

     During its quarterly assessment of deferred income taxes, management
reduced the valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets to realize a $1
million net deferred income tax asset in the third quarter of 1995. This
decision to recognize a net deferred income tax asset was based on management's
belief, that it is more likely than not the Company will realize benefit from a
portion of its deferred income taxes.

The primary positive factors assessed by management in reaching its conclusion
about the Company's net deferred income tax asset include:

Positive net earnings and continued increases in gross profits for the past
three years.

A 73% increase in backlog from the previous year.

A 15% growth in sales during 1994 and 22% growth in sales in the first nine
months of 1995.

An expectation for the future that, even with the extremely volatile environment
in which the Company competes, operating income of the Company will more likely
than not be sufficient to realize a portion of the deferred income tax asset.

Because of certain factors beyond management's control, there can be no
assurance that sufficient taxable income will be generated in each of the
Company's taxing jurisdictions to realize recorded tax benefits. In addition,
there can be no assurance that the Company will generate any earnings or any
specific level of continuing earnings in future years.

The primary negative factors assessed by management in reaching its conclusion
about the Company's ability to realize the net deferred income tax asset
include:

A material portion of the Company's revenues in 1995 and 1994 were derived from
the hard disk drive and personal computer markets. These markets have been
historically somewhat volatile, as demand for the end-products in these markets
has varied widely from time to time. If demand for these end-products should
decrease significantly, the producers thereof could reduce their purchase of the
Company's products which in turn could have a materially adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition and result of operation.

The Company enjoyed a proprietary role with its LITTLE FOOT products for several
years, but a number of competitors now offer second-source products. Further
under certain circumstances customers may be released from purchase orders
without the payment of any penalty. In addition, in periods like this,
characterized by heavy demand, the Company must be aware of the possibility that
customers have "double-booked" to ensure supply.

The semiconductor industry is highly competitive. Many of the Company's
competitors are larger companies with greater financial resources and limited
dependency on semiconductor products as their sole source of sales and earnings.
Therefore, the Company cannot be assured of its future competitive position in
the marketplace.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash flows from operations were $29.9 million for the nine-month period
ended October 1, 1995 as compared to $20.3 million in the comparable period of
1994. Cash and equivalents decreased by $3.2 million from December 31,1994 due
to cash used by investing and financing activities exceeding cash from
operations. 1995 cash flows are expected to be sufficient to fund operations,
investments, research and development.

     Beginning in the third quarter of 1995, the Company began to participate in
the cash concentration system established by Daimler Benz North America, an
affiliate company, whereby excess cash is pooled and invested on a short term
basis with the affiliate company to obtain a higher rate of return. This event
resulted in a decrease in cash and an increase of $16.7 million in short term
investment with affiliate.

     Accounts receivable increased $2.7 million or 9% from December 31, 1994
solely as a result of strong sales during the first nine months of 1995. Strong
sales in Europe during the first nine months account for a large portion of this
increase due to the longer payment terms typically afforded European customers.

     Inventories decreased $4.8 million or 15.4% from December 31,1994 due
mainly to the increase in sales and high demand for the Company's semiconductor
products during the first nine months of 1995.

     Capital expenditures were $15.4 million in the first nine months of 1995.
These related mostly to additions for plant capacity expansion and regulatory
compliance. 1995 capital expenditures are expected to exceed the 1994 annual
level of $25.0 million.

     Current liabilities increased $10.3 million or 21.4% from December 31,
1994. This increase is mainly due to timing of payments and the increase in the
overall business activities during the first nine months of 1995.
