     Micrel, Incorporated ("Micrel" or the "Company") hereby amends Item 2 
and Item 7 of its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission on November 23, 1998 to add certain disclosures to Item 
2 and to file the financial statements and exhibits of the Company relating 
to that certain Merger Agreement dated as of October 21, 1998, as amended.


Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.


     On November 9, 1998, pursuant to that certain Merger Agreement dated as 
of October 21, 1998, between the Registrant, MISYN Acquisition Corp., a 
Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant 
("Merger Sub"), and Synergy Semiconductor Corporation, a California 
corporation ("Synergy"), as amended by that certain side letter dated 
November 9, 1998, between the Registrant and Synergy (as so amended the 
"Merger Agreement"), the Registrant acquired Synergy through the merger of 
Merger Sub with and into Synergy for a cash purchase price of $9.9 million 
(the "Purchase Price").  Twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price was 
deposited in escrow pursuant to the terms of that certain Escrow Agreement 
dated November 9, 1998, by and between the Registrant, John F. Stockton, as 
representative of the Synergy shareholders, and Bank of the West.  The 
balance of the Purchase Price was transferred to the paying agent to be paid 
to the former Synergy shareholders pursuant to the terms of the Merger 
Agreement. The Registrant also paid transaction fees of $1.3 million and 
accrued direct merger costs of approximately $300 thousand.

     Synergy's assets include, among other things, Synergy's accounts 
receivable, inventory, fixed and tangible personal property (including, 
without limitation, all machinery, equipment, supplies, tools, tooling, 
furniture, fixtures, hardware, dies and spare parts), intangible personal 
property, contracts, books and records and an interest as tenant of certain 
real property in Santa Clara, California.  Synergy's assets also included 
certain intellectual property used in its business.

     The Purchase Price paid at the closing was paid from the Registrant's 
working capital funds.  The Purchase Price was determined through arms-
length negotiations between the Registrant and Synergy, which negotiations 
took into account Synergy's financial position, operating history, products, 
intellectual property and other factors relating to Synergy's business.  
There are no material relationships between Synergy and the Registrant or 
any of its affiliates, any director or officer of the Registrant or any 
associate of any such director or officer. 

     Approximately $12.9 million of the total Purchase Price and net 
liabilities assumed of approximately $1.5 million was allocated to 
intangible assets.  Of that amount, approximately $3.7 million was allocated 
to purchased in-process technology, that has not reached technological 
feasibility and has no alternative future use, for which the Registrant 
expects to record a one-time charge in the quarter ended December 31, 1998. 
The remaining portion of the Purchase Price, $9.2 million, will be allocated 
to intangible assets, which are expected be amortized on a straight line 
basis over a period of three to five years.  The amount of the one time 
charge was derived from a valuation based on the Securities and Exchange 
Commission guidance issued in a September 9, 1998 letter to the American 
Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  See Note 1 of Notes to the 
Company's Pro Forma Condensed Combining Financial Statements for further 
discussion of the Purchase Price allocation.

     The purchased in-process technology related to approximately 50 
individual development projects that had not reached technological 
feasibility and, therefore, the successful completion of such projects was 
uncertain.  Those development projects correspond to three existing product 
lines:  supercom, clockworks and logic. At the time of the acquisition, further
development remained on these projects and the estimated costs to complete 
were approximately $1.0 million.  Management has not determined whether any  
product resulting from these projects will become available for sale in 
fiscal 1999 and, therefore, no assurances can be given as to when revenues 
from these projects will commence.  While the Registrant perceives a future 
benefit related to completion of these projects, it believes that the 
failure to reach successful completion would not have a material adverse 
effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations 
or cash flows.

     Significant assumptions used to determine the value of in-process 
technology included: (i)  forecast of net cash flows that were expected to 
result from the development effort; (ii) an estimate of percentage complete 
for each project  which ranged from 20% to 90% with an average for all 
projects of 80%; (iii) a discount rate of approximately 30%.

(b)   Pro Forma Financial Information:

     The attached unaudited pro forma condensed combining financial 
statements for the year ended December 31, 1997 and as of and for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1998 give effect to the purchase of Synergy as of 
the beginning of the periods presented, whereby Micrel paid approximately 
$9.9 million in cash for all of the Synergy common and preferred shares 
outstanding, paid approximately $1.3 million in cash for transaction fees 
and has accrued approximately $300 thousand in direct acquisition costs and 
assumed certain operating assets and liabilities of Synergy. Accordingly, 
the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair 
market value at the date of acquisition. The pro forma condensed combining 
statements of operations assume that the acquisition took place at the 
beginning of the earliest period presented and combine Micrel's and 
Synergy's results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the 
nine months ended September 30, 1998. The unaudited pro forma condensed 
combining balance sheet combines Micrel's balance sheet as of September 30, 
1998 with the Synergy balance sheet as of September 30, 1998, giving effect 
to the acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 1998.

     The pro forma condensed combining financial information is presented 
for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the 
operating results or financial position that would have occurred had the 
acquisition been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented nor 
is it necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial 
position. 

     The pro forma condensed combining financial information should be read 
in conjunction with the audited historical consolidated financial statements 
and the related notes thereto of Micrel previously filed and the historical 
financial statements and related notes thereto of Synergy included herein.

                            INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Synergy Semiconductor Corporation:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Synergy Semiconductor 
Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related 
statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of 
the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of 
the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
these financial statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the financial position of Synergy Semiconductor 
Corporation as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its 
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.

                             Notes to Financial Statements
                              December 31, 1997 and 1996

(1)     Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Organization and Nature of Business

Synergy Semiconductor Corporation (the Company or Synergy) operates in one 
industry and is engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of high 
performance semiconductor products.  The Company markets and distributes its 
products through independent sales representatives and distributors in North 
America and Europe, and through stocking representatives and distributors in 
Asia.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with original 
maturities of less than 90 days to be cash equivalents.  The Company held no 
securities as of December 31, 1997, that met the criteria of Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain 
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.


Revenue Recognition

Revenues from the shipment of semiconductor products are generally 
recognized upon shipment.  Revenues on sales to domestic distributors are 
deferred until the merchandise is sold by the distributors.  Revenue on 
sales to international distributors, whose return privileges are generally 
limited, are recognized upon shipment.  The Company provides specific 
reserves for estimated returns and allowances when necessary.

Revenues relating to technology license agreements and contract engineering 
services are recognized as the efforts are expended or as deliverables are 
provided, which approximates the percentage-of-completion method.


Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of actual cost (which approximates first 
in, first out) or market.  Market is based upon net realizable value, which 
is selling price less disposal costs.


Research and Development

The Company charges all research and development costs associated with the 
development of new products to expense when incurred.  Engineering and 
design costs related to revenue on nonrecurring engineering services billed 
to customers are classified as research, development and engineering 
expenses and are expensed as incurred.  Costs associated with start-up 
activities in the Company's new water fabrication facility totaled 
approximately $800,000 and $1,904,000 in the fiscal years ended December 31, 
1996 and 1997, respectively.  The start-up costs have been expensed as 
incurred, and have been included in research, development, and engineering 
expenses.


Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to 
concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash equivalents and 
trade receivables.  The Company has short-term cash investment policies that 
limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution and 
restrict placement of these investments to financial institutions evaluated 
as highly creditworthy.

                                      11

<PAGE>



A majority of the Company's trade receivables are derived from sales to 
distributors, sales and stocking representatives (both domestic and 
international), and manufacturers of computer systems.  Management believes 
that any risk of loss is mitigated by the Company's credit evaluation 
process and collection terms.  The Company generally does not require 
collateral.


Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation on machinery and equipment is calculated using the straight-
line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (generally five 
years).  Assets recorded under capital leases are amortized using the 
straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful 
life of the asset.


Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income 
taxes.  Under the asset and liability method deferred tax assets and 
liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences 
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts 
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred 
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect 
for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be 
recovered or settled.  


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying amount of its long-
lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount of an asset may be impaired.  If the estimated future 
undiscounted operating cash flows over the remaining useful life of the 
long-lived asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset, a charge to 
income would be recognized for the excess carrying amount of the asset over 
its fair value.


Stock Option Plan

The Company accounts for its stock option plan in accordance with the 
provisions of the Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, 
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.  As 
such, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the 
current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price.  
The Company adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, 
which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the 
fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant.  Alternatively, 
SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB 
Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma disclosures for employee stock option 
grants made in 1995 and future years as if the fair value-based method 
defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.  The Company has elected to 
continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro 
forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Presentation

As of December 31, 1997, the Company has an accumulated deficit.  During 
1998, the Company's most significant distributor declared bankruptcy.  All 
inventory and accounts receivable related to such customer have been 
reserved against in the accompanying financial statements.  The Company has 
taken steps to replace this distributor and no debt default conditions (that 
have not otherwise been waived) exist with respect to this matter as of 
December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998 (see Note 9).  The Company believes 


                                      12

<PAGE>



that cash generated from projected operating results, available credit 
facilities, and cash reserves will be sufficient to meet its working capital 
and debt repayment requirements and maintain its anticipated level of 
operations.  Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on a 
going-concern basis.

(3)     Borrowing Arrangements

Line of Credit and Promissory Note

The Company has a $8,000,000 credit arrangement, which is comprised of a 
line of credit and a $2,500,000 promissory note (the "$8,000,000 Credit 
Facility").  The credit arrangement is available pursuant to a Loan and 
Security Agreement, as amended on December 16, 1996, and bears interest at 
the prime rate plus 2% per annum (10.50% as of December 31, 1997).  The 
credit arrangement is subject to certain covenants and restrictions and is 
collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company.  The line 
of credit expired on December 31, 1997.  During 1997, the Company paid 
approximately $1,100,000 in addition to the monthly payments required by the 
term loan agreement.  As of December 31, 1997, the Company had $3,264,191 
outstanding on the line of credit and $467,741 outstanding on the promissory 
note, all of which is due in the next year.

On December 29, 1997, the Company established a $7,000,000 revolving credit 
line and a $4,000,000 equipment line with another financial institution (the 
"$11,000,000 Credit Facility") expiring May 1, 1999, bearing interest equal 
to the prime rate for borrowings greater than $100,000 or LIBOR plus 230 
basis points for borrowings greater than $1,000,000.  The credit arrangement 
is subject to certain covenants and restrictions and is collateralized by 
substantially all of the assets of the Company.


Capital Financing Loans

In November and December 1996, the Company obtained capital financing loans 
collateralized by certain of the Company's equipment.  In December 1997, the 
Company obtained an additional $700,000 of capital financing.  Balances due 
under these loans as of December 31, 1997, totaled $9,485,443, with 
$1,870,970 representing the current portion.  Payments of principal and 
interest of approximately $223,000 are due each month through December 31, 
2001, and approximately $14,000 per month thereafter through December 31, 
2002.  The loan agreements do not contain any restrictive covenants, and 
bear interest ranging from 8.40% to 9.60%.

On June 23, 1997, the Company obtained a $2,500,000 loan from an investment 
banking firm.  The loan is secured by certain equipment of the Company and 
bears an annual interest rate of 7.75%.  Repayment of the loan will occur in 
monthly installments from August 1997 through July 1999.  The loan is 
subject to certain covenants and restrictions on indebtedness, business 
combinations, and other related items.  In connection with the loan, the 
Company issued a warrant for $2,500 to purchase 250,000 shares of the 
Company's common stock at a per share exercise price of $2.00.  These 
warrants expire on July 1, 2002.

</TABLE>

Machinery and equipment under capital leases was approximately $1,577,000 as 
of December 31, 1997, with accumulated amortization of approximately 
$1,259,000.  


(4)     Preferred and Common Stock

In December 1994, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 50-for-1 
reverse stock split.  Accordingly, all references in the accompanying 
financial statements to number of shares outstanding and authorized, stock 
options and warrants, and related prices for all periods presented reflect 
the reverse stock split.


Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

In May 1994, the Company and the holders of the certain bridge loans 
negotiated the conversion of the loans (total principal and interest 
balances outstanding as of May 1994 of $3,629,722), and the issuance of 
$1,500,000 in new financing, through 5% convertible promissory notes.  
During 1995, these notes converted into Series AA convertible preferred 
stock at a conversion rate equal to $0.01826 of outstanding principal (and 
interest) per share of Series AA convertible preferred stock (which is 
currently convertible into one share of common stock), and also resulted in 
the conversion of all outstanding Series A, B, C, and D convertible 
preferred stock into common stock.

In February and March 1995, the Company issued 5,771,230 shares of Series BB 
convertible preferred stock for $2,135,355.  As a result of the issuance of 
Series BB convertible preferred stock, the Series AA convertible preferred 
stock is no longer redeemable.

The rights, preferences, and privileges of the holders of Series AA and BB 
convertible preferred stock are as follows:

 o     The holders of Series AA and BB preferred stock are entitled to 
noncumulative dividends of $0.0913 and $0.037, respectively, per share per 
annum, or if greater, an amount equal to that paid on any other outstanding 
shares by the Company, payable quarterly, when and if declared by the Board 
of Directors.

 o     The holders of Series BB preferred stock are entitled to a 
distribution in preference to the holders of Series AA preferred stock and 
holders of common stock of $0.37 per share plus any declared but

                                      15

<PAGE>


unpaid dividends on such shares.  The holders of Series AA preferred stock 
are entitled to a distribution in preference to holders of common stock of 
$0.913 per share plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares.

 o     The preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder, at 
any time, into one share of common stock, subject to certain adjustments.  
Conversion is automatic upon the earlier of the closing of the Company's 
sale of common stock in a public offering for which the aggregate proceeds 
equal or exceed $7,500,000 and the per share offering price is not less than 
$2.00, or upon written consent of a majority of the holders of preferred 
stock.  The Company has reserved sufficient shares of common stock for the 
purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series AA and BB preferred stock.

 o     The holders of preferred stock have voting rights equal to the number 
of common stock shares that would be held upon conversion.


Stock Option Plan

In July 1987, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan (the 1987 Plan) that, 
as amended, expires in 1998, under which employees, directors, and 
consultants may be granted incentive or nonqualified stock options for the 
purchase of the Company's common stock.  The Company has approximately 
3,835,575 shares reserved for the 1987 Plan.

The option price per share shall be fixed by the plan administrator, but in 
no event shall the option price per share be less than 85% of the fair 
market value of a share of common stock on the date of the option grant.  
Options become exercisable on the date of grant, with one-quarter of the 
options (or shares, if the options had been exercised) vesting after one 
year, and the balance vesting ratably over the next three years, or as 
determined by the Board of Directors.  Unvested options are canceled, and 
unvested shares issued are subject to repurchase by the Company following 
the termination of employment.


The following is a summary of option activity:

As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, 413,865 and 205,717 shares, respectively, 
of the outstanding options were vested under the 1987 Plan.  As of December 
31, 1997 and 1996, 83,561 and 372,466 shares, respectively, of common stock

The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during 1997 and 
1996, was $0.75 per share, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with 
the following weighted-average assumptions:  no expected volatility or 
dividends; expected life of 7.47 years; and risk-free interest rate of 6.5% 
in 1997 and 1996.

The following table summarizes options outstanding as of December 31, 1997:

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for the 1987 Plan, and, 
accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options 
in the accompanying financial statements.  Had the Company determined 
compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock 
options under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income would not have been 
significantly impacted.

Warrants

The Company issued 2,500 warrants for the purchase of shares of Series C and 
D convertible preferred stock in conjunction with amendments to a note 
payable.  The exercise prices range from $153.75 to $187.50 per share, and 
1,174 warrants expired in November 1996; 826 warrants expire in January 
1998; and 500 warrants expire in January 1999.  The aggregate fair value of 
the above warrants is not material.

D preferred stock at $187.50 per share.  The Company's obligation to issue 
warrants in conjunction with lease financing under the strategic alliance 
agreement has been fulfilled.  These warrants expire in January 1998.  The 
fair value of these warrants was not material.

In connection with a bridge loan financing in July and August 1992, the 
Company issued a total of 104,702 warrants to purchase the Company's common 
stock at $12.50 per share.  The warrants were assigned an estimated fair

(5)     German Joint Venture/Technology License

In March 1993, the Company entered into a joint venture with the German 
government to establish a semiconductor manufacturing operation in the 
Republic of Germany.  A contribution agreement called for Microelectronik 
et. al. (MTG) to contribute certain assets of its electronic components 
division to HalbleiterElektronik GmbH (HEG), the Joint Venture, for 100% of 
the shares of the Joint Venture.  Through a Shareholder Resolution, HEG 
allocated a 49% ownership to the Company for approximately $30,000. 

During 1997, the joint venture declared bankruptcy and, accordingly, was 
terminated.

The Company purchased and/or provided approximately $404,000 and $538,000 in 
goods and services on behalf of the joint venture for the years ended 
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Receivables related to 
reimbursements as of December 31, 1996 totaled $119,485.  


(6)     Income Taxes

The Company recorded no income tax expense in 1997 primarily due to the 
amortization of research expenses deferred for tax purposes and the 
availability of net operating loss carryforwards.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company had total deferred tax assets of 
approximately $18,250,000 and deferred tax liabilities of approximately 
$565,000.  The net deferred tax assets of approximately $17,685,000 are 
offset by a full valuation allowance.  The net change in the total valuation 
allowance for the year ended December 31, 1997, was a decrease of 
approximately $961,000.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant 
portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1997, 
primarily include research expenses deferred for tax purposes, difference in 
book and tax depreciation reserves and accruals not currently deductible, 
net operating loss carryforwards, and research credit carryforwards.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of 
approximately $27,390,000 and $7,593,000 for federal and California income 
tax purposes, respectively.  The federal net operating losses expire from 
2002 to 2012.  The California net operating losses expire from 1998 to 2001.  
Also, the Company had research credit carryforwards of approximately 
$2,885,000 and $1,070,000 for federal and California income tax purposes, 
respectively.  If not utilized, the federal research credit carryforwards 
will expire in 2002 through 2012.  There is no expiration provision for 
California research carryforwards.  

Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and benefit from net 
operating losses and credits that can be carried forward may be limited in 
certain circumstances.  Events that may affect these carryforwards include, 
but are not limited to, a cumulative stock ownership change of greater than 
50%, as defined, over a three-year period.  The Company's net operating loss 
carryforwards and credits may also be limited for federal and California 
alternative minimum tax purposes, resulting in current federal and/or state 
taxation.


(7)     Employee Benefit Plan

The Company has a 401(k) plan that allows eligible employees to contribute 
up to 20% of their compensation limited to $9,500 in 1997.  Employee 
contributions and earnings thereon vest immediately.  The Company matches up 
to the first $500 contributed by each employee.  Matching contributions in 
1997 totaled $54,677.  

(8)     Commitments

The Company leases its facilities under an operating lease that expires in 
October 2006.  In addition to lease payments, the Company is responsible for 
taxes, insurance, and maintenance of leased premises.  
Total future rental commitments under all noncancelable operating leases as 
of December 31, 1997, are as follows:

Rental expense was approximately $1,592,644 and $918,000 for the years ended 
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

 (9)     Subsequent Events

In January 1998, the Company repaid all outstanding balances due under the 
$8,000,000 Credit Facility through borrowings under the $11,000,000 Credit 
Facility (see Note 3).

In April 1998, the Company's largest Asian distributor declared bankruptcy.  
Sales to this distributor totaled 29% and 39% of total net revenues for the 
fiscal years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  As a result of 
the bankruptcy, current year financial statements have been adjusted to 
exclude all revenues

for which payment had not yet been received and inventory reserves have been 
adjusted to reflect any potential excess and obsolete inventory due to the 
loss of this distributor (see Note 1).

As of the date of the bankruptcy filing, amounts owed to the Company by the 
distributor totaled approximately $2,600,000, of which approximately 
$970,000 was outstanding as of December 31, 1997, related to fiscal 1997, 
and inventory on hand which was impacted by the bankruptcy as of December 
31, 1997, for which a reserve was provided of approximately $740,000.  The 
adjustment to the fiscal 1997 and 1998 results did cause the Company to 
breach the financial covenants contained in the $11,000,000 Credit Facility, 
which would have impacted the facility's availability as of December 31, 
1997 and March 31, 1998, respectively.  The Company has obtained waivers as 
to the aforementioned covenant noncompliance situations.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared 
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim 
financial information and with the instructions of Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In

(3)     Income Taxes

Management of the Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence 
bearing upon the realizability of its deferred tax assets.  Under the 
applicable accounting standards, management has considered the Company's 
history of losses and concluded that it is more likely than not the Company 
will not generate future taxable income prior to the expiration of these net 
operating losses.  Accordingly, the deferred tax assets have been fully 
reserved.


(4)     Subsequent Event

In November 1998, the Company was acquired by Micrel, Inc. for cash of 
approximately $9.9 million, plus related acquisition costs, and the 
assumption of certain operating assets and liabilities of the Company.  The 
transaction was accounted for as a purchase.

                           MICREL, INCORPORATED

         Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Combining Financial Statements


1.     ACQUISITION

     On November 9, 1998, pursuant to that certain Merger Agreement dated as 
of October 21, 1998, between the Registrant, MISYN Acquisition Corp., a 
Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant 
("Merger Sub"), and Synergy Semiconductor Corporation, a California 
corporation ("Synergy"), as amended by that certain side letter dated 
November 9, 1998, between the Registrant and Synergy (as so amended the 
"Merger Agreement"), the Registrant acquired Synergy through the merger of 
Merger Sub with and into Synergy for a cash purchase price of $9.9 million 
(the "Purchase Price").  Twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price was 
deposited in escrow pursuant to the terms of that certain Escrow Agreement 
dated November 9, 1998, by and between the Registrant, John F. Stockton, as 
representative of the Synergy shareholders, and Bank of the West.  The 
balance of the Purchase Price was transferred to the paying agent to be paid 
to the former Synergy shareholders pursuant to the terms of the Merger 
Agreement. The Registrant also paid transaction fees of $1.3 million and 
accrued direct merger costs of approximately $300 thousand.

     Approximately $12.9 million of the total Purchase Price and net 
liabilities assumed of approximately $1.5 million was allocated to 
intangible assets.  Of that amount, approximately $3.7 million was allocated 
to purchased in-process technology, that has not reached technological 
feasibility and has no alternative future use, for which the Registrant 
expects to record a one-time charge in the quarter ended December 31, 1998. 
The remaining portion of the Purchase Price, $9.2 million, will be allocated 
to intangible assets, which are expected be amortized on a straight line 
basis over a period of three to five years.  The amount of the one time 
charge was derived from a valuation based on the Securities and Exchange 
Commission guidance issued in a September 9, 1998 letter to the American 
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. 

     The purchase price of the acquisition of Synergy is computed as follows 
(in thousands):

     This method of combining the companies is only for the presentation
of pro forma unaudited condensed combining financial statements. Actual 
statements of operations of the companies will be combined from the 
effective date of the acquisition, with no retroactive restatement.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed combining statements of operations do 
not include the estimated one-time $3.7 million charge for purchased in-
process technology arising from this acquisition, as it is a material 
nonrecurring charge.  The estimated one time charge is expected to be 
included in the actual consolidated statement of operations of Micrel in the 
fourth quarter of 1998.

     The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the pro forma 
condensed combining financial statements.

(1) Reflects cash paid of approximately $9.9 million to the shareholders 
        of Synergy.

(2) Reflects the allocation of Purchase Price to fixed assets and 
        inventory per Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 "Business 
        Combinations" (APB No. 16) and related deferred tax effect.

(3) Reflects an estimated allocation of Purchase Price to intangible 
        assets calculated as of September 30, 1998.

(4) Reflects the payment of approximately $1.3 million and the accrual 
        of approximately $273,000 for estimated costs directly attributable 
        to the completion of the acquisition. 

(5) Reflects the elimination of Synergy's shareholders' equity.

(6) Includes an estimated one-time charge of approximately $3.7 million 
        for purchased in-process technology identified in the Purchase Price 
        allocation.

(7) Reflects pro forma amortization of the purchased intangibles over 
        the estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years of $2.0 
        million for the year ended December 31, 1997 and $1.5 million for 
        the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

(8) Reflects a pro forma decrease in depreciation of $2.3 million for 
        the year ended December 31, 1997 and $1.7 million for the nine 
        months ended September 30, 1998 associated with the allocation of 
        Purchase Price to fixed assets per APB No. 16.

(9) Reflects a pro forma increase in cost of revenues of $3.3 million 
        for the year ended December 31, 1997 associated with the allocation
        of the Purchase Price to inventory per APB No. 16.

(10) Reflects interest income that would have been foregone as a 
        consequence of the reduction of funds available for investments 
        resulting from the acquisition.

(11) Reflects the tax effect of pro forma adjustments at the statutory 
        rate.
