Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following table sets forth, as percentages of revenues, the items
included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income for the
three month periods ended May 31, 1995 and 1994:

Total operating expenses                         45.8      32.5

Income (loss) from operations                    (6.5)     11.7

Other income (expense), net                      (0.2)     (0.5)

Income (loss) before minority interest and taxes (6.7)     11.2

Minority interest in net income of subsidiary     0.1          -

Income (loss) before provision for income taxes  (6.8)     11.2

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes        (2.6)      4.5

Net income (loss)                                (4.2)%     6.7 %


Revenues and Cost of Goods Sold

Revenues of $72.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 1995, were
10% lower than the $80.0 million recorded for the three months ended May
31, 1994.    Revenues from system products declined 32% to $40.3 million
in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 from $59.2 million a year earlier.
Component products revenue increased 53% to $31.9 million from $20.8
million for the same periods.

The decline in system products revenue resulted from a program to reduce
excessive inventory levels at a number of the Company's major
distributors.   These inventories had increased during  fiscal 1995 as
distributors' shipments to resellers failed to achieve targeted levels.

The growth of component products revenues continues to be led by
increased shipments of personal computer input/output integrated
circuits.  Despite an industry-wide shortage of manufacturing capacity,
shipments and net operating profits grew substantially over year-earlier
levels.

The Company's gross profit margin of 39.3% for the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 declined from 44.2% in the year-earlier period.  Costs
associated with marketing programs designed to reduce inventory of
networking products at distribution, as well as lower average selling
prices on network interface cards, were the principal reasons for the
lower margin.

Operating Expenses

The 27% increase in research and development expenses in the first
quarter, compared to the year-earlier period, reflected personnel
increases.  Most of the increase was for the development of  LAN
switching and hub products.

<PAGE>


Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 30% in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 from the year-earlier period.  Most of the
increase reflected selling and marketing expenses for LAN switching and
hub products. In addition, the Company continues to expand its worldwide
LAN sales force and support costs.

Other Income and Expenses

The decline in interest expense and other income (expense) in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996, compared to a year earlier, reflected lower
average borrowings and financing fees.  A reduction in interest income
reflected lower average cash balances.

Income Taxes

Income taxes for the first quarter were provided at the Company's
expected effective income tax rate for fiscal 1996 of 39.0%. The prior
year's three month effective tax rate was 40.1%.   The reduction in the
first quarter tax rate for fiscal 1996 primarily reflects the benefit of
an election, made in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, under section
197 of the Internal Revenue Code, allowing the deductibility of goodwill
associated with the October 1991 acquisition of the LAN adapter business
of Western Digital Corporation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital was $108.5 million at May 31, 1995, compared to $119.4
million at February 28, 1995.

Accounts receivable at May 31, 1995, represented approximately 57 days
sales outstanding, compared to 63 days a year earlier and 67 days at
February 28, 1995.   The improvement chiefly represents a more even
distribution of revenues during the quarter than in either the first or
fourth quarters of fiscal 1995.  Inventories increased to $61.3 million
at May 31, 1995, from $45.8 million at February 28, 1995, mainly
reflecting lower than expected shipments for the first quarter.   Second
quarter production is being adjusted in an effort to reduce inventories.

Additions to property, plant and equipment were $10.1 million during the
first quarter of fiscal 1996, compared to $2.2 million during the
year-earlier period.  The most significant capital expenditures were $2.3
million for a project to improve the Company's information systems, and $4.1
million pursuant to an agreement to purchase approximately $16 million
of wafer manufacturing equipment for installation at an AT&T
Microelectronics facility in Madrid, Spain.

In addition, a long-term investment of $14.0 million was made under a
$20 million commitment to purchase a minority interest in Chartered
Semiconductor Pte Ltd. of Singapore. These two investments are intended
to provide SMC with a portion of its long-term requirements for
integrated circuits, beginning near the end of fiscal 1996.

SMC used $5.4 million of cash and $10 million of its $80 million credit
line, chiefly for capital items and the investment in Chartered
Semiconductor.

The Company believes that its present working capital position, combined
with expected cash flows and available borrowing capacity, will be
sufficient to meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

Item 1. Legal Matters

       1.  Gaffney v. Richman, et al., CV-95-2282
           Russ v. Richman, CV-95-2283
           Weinstein v. Richman, CV-95-2284
           Altman v. Standard Microsystems Corp., et al., CV-95-2578
           Slaby v. Standard Microsystems., Corp. CV-95-2266
           Goodman v. Standard Microsystems Corp., et al., CV-95-2621

       These related actions were filed in June 1995 by certain
       shareholders of Standard Microsystems Corporation who purport to
       represent a class of commonly-situated individuals.  These
       shareholders are seeking damages against the company and certain
       officers and directors of the company for the diminution of the
       value of their stock.  In substance, the complaints allege that
       between December 20, 1994, and June 2, 1995, the price of Standard
       Microsystems Corporation common stock was artificially inflated
       by false and misleading statements made by the defendants and by
       failure of the defendants to disclose certain information.
       Standard Microsystems Corporation intends to vigorously defend
       against these suits.
