Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)


Note 1. Basis of Presentation

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

In the opinion of the management of the Company, the consolidated
financial statements appearing herein contain all adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for, and as of the end of, the periods indicated. These statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's December 31, 2002 consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto. The results of operations for the first
three months of 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

Note 2. Inventories

The components of inventory are as follows:

March 29, December
(In thousands) 2003 31, 2002
---------- ----------

Finished goods $ 19,073 $ 20,044
Work-in-process 38,754 38,560
Raw materials 5,986 7,949
---------- ---------
$ 63,813 $ 66,553
========== =========

Note 3. Contingencies

As of March 29, 2003, the Company remained a party to two environmental
proceedings. The first involves property that the Company vacated in 1972. In
July 1989, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board ("RWQCB") issued
Cleanup and Abatement Order No. 89-115 both to the Company and the current owner
of the property. The Order alleged that the Company contaminated both the soil
and the groundwater on the property by the improper disposal of certain chemical
solvents. The RWQCB considered both parties to be liable for the contamination
and sought to have them decontaminate the site to acceptable levels. The Company
subsequently reached a settlement of this matter with the current owner of the
property. The settlement provided that the current owner will indemnify the
Company and its employees, officers, and directors against any liability that
may arise out of any governmental agency actions brought for environmental
cleanup of the subject site, including liability arising out of RWQCB Order No.
89-115, to which the Company remains nominally subject.

The second proceeding involves the Company's Santa Clara, California
facility, which the Company has owned and occupied since 1969. In February 1989,
the RWQCB issued Cleanup and Abatement Order No. 89-27 to the Company. The Order
was based on the discovery of contamination of both the soil and the groundwater
on the property by certain chemical solvents. The Order called for the Company
to specify and implement interim remedial actions and to evaluate final remedial
alternatives. The RWQCB issued a subsequent order requiring the Company to
complete the decontamination. The Company has substantially complied with the
RWQCB's orders.

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

The Company is engaged in discussions with various parties regarding
patent licensing and cross patent licensing issues. In addition, the Company has
observed that in the current semiconductor industry business


6



environment, companies have become more aggressive in asserting and defending
patent claims against competitors. While the Company will continue to vigorously
defend its intellectual property rights, the Company may become party to
disputes regarding patent licensing and cross patent licensing. An unfavorable
outcome regarding one of these matters could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business and operating results.

Note 4. Comprehensive Income

The following are the components of comprehensive income:

Net income $ 10,002 $ 8,204

Foreign currency translation adjustment (4) (1)
Pension liability adjustment 1 --
-------- --------
Total other comprehensive loss (3) (1)

Comprehensive income $ 9,999 $ 8,203
======== ========


Note 5. Segment Reporting

The Company is engaged primarily in the design, marketing, and
manufacturing of power and analog semiconductor products. The Company is
organized into three operating segments, which due to their inter-dependencies,
similar long-term economic characteristics, and shared production processes and
distribution channels have been aggregated into one reportable segment.

Note 6. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by using weighted average
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share
incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock
options when diluted. Due to the Company's simple capital structure, basic and
diluted earnings per share are the same.

Note 7. Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue
No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables," which provides
guidance on the timing and method of revenue recognition for sales arrangements
that include the delivery of more than one product or service. EITF 00-21 is
effective prospectively for arrangements entered into in fiscal periods
beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not expect that the adoption of
EITF 00-21 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial
statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the first quarter of 2003 were $97.8 million compared to
$83.6 million for the first quarter of 2002, a 17% increase. The increase in net
sales was partially due to the market shift from single-function cellular phones
to feature-rich phones with multiple functions (i.e. digital camera, internet,
email, etc.). The Company's bookings and billings improved in the fourth quarter
as compared to the third quarter of last year and were essentially flat from the
fourth quarter to the first quarter of this year, even though the fourth quarter
had an extra week of working days. The Company still sees no signs of a major
recovery in its primary strategic markets, portable computers and cellular
telephones. In addition, the Company is continuing to observe a trend toward
"smart," multi-functional cellular telephones and away from Personal Data
Assistants and simpler cellular telephones. These smart telephones must utilize
their power more efficiently than simpler devices and thus tend to require more
of the Company's components. The computer market is still driven by consumers
and corporate spending remains slow. The Company does not foresee any
improvement until the second half of this year at the earliest. Customers
continue to place orders for the near term because of lack of visibility from
end markets and the disruption in commercial activities in the Asia-Pacific
region, Canada, and other regions as a result of Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of 2003 was
28.5% compared to 29.2% for the first quarter of 2002. Despite the Company's
successful cost reduction efforts, the first quarter of 2003 saw increased
pricing pressures and a shift in the product mix towards commodity products that
command lower margins.

Research and development expenses were $4.7 million for the first quarter
of 2003 compared to $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2002. The Company
continues its commitment to the development of new products and technologies.
During the first three months of 2003, the Company introduced 50 new products
and secured 304 new designs. The Company anticipates an increase in research and
development expenses in the second quarter due to additional research and
development projects.

Selling, marketing, and administration expenses were $11.0 million for the
first quarter of 2003 compared to $9.6 million for the first quarter of 2002.
The Company's selling, marketing, and administration expenses as a percentage of
net sales were 11% and remained flat for the first quarter of 2003 compared to
the first quarter of 2002. The Company continues its efforts to manage and
control costs effectively. The Company expects to incur higher selling expenses
in the second quarter due to an anticipated increase in sales activities.

Interest income for the first quarter of 2003 was $0.6 million compared to
$0.9 million for the first quarter of 2002. The decrease in interest income in
the first quarter of 2003 was due to lower interest rates as compared to 2002.
All excess cash not immediately needed to fund the Company's operations is
invested in money market funds.

Other income was $67,000 for the first quarter of 2003 compared to $22,000
of expense for the first quarter of 2002.

Income tax expense for the first three months of 2003 was $2.8 million
compared to $2.6 million for the first three months of 2002. The increase in
income tax expense in 2003 was due to the increase in earnings before tax. The
Company's effective tax rate was 22.0% in the first quarter of 2003 compared to
21.9% in the first quarter of 2002. The Company expects that the effective tax
rate for 2003 will be 22.0%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 29, 2003, the Company had $231.1 million in cash, cash
equivalents and short-term note receivable from affiliate, compared to $212.1
million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term note receivable from affiliate
at December 31, 2002. The increase of $19.0 million was mainly due to the cash
generated by operations in the first quarter. The cash balance of $161.1 million
as of March 29, 2003 was mostly invested in money markets overseas. The
Company's cash and profits are expected to be reinvested indefinitely. Any
repatriation of earnings and cash back to the United States would be deemed to
be a dividend and would be subject to U.S. income taxes, state income taxes, and
any withholding taxes payable.


8



Net cash provided by operating activities was $23.3 million in the first
three months of 2003 compared to $8.4 million in the same period of 2002. The
increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the first three months
of 2003 was primarily due to a decrease in payments to settle affiliate
balances. Net affiliate payables as of March 29, 2003 increased by $8.4 million
from December 31, 2002, mainly due to the timing of cash payments made to
unconsolidated affiliates. Accounts payable as of March 29, 2003 increased by
$0.7 million from December 31, 2002, mainly due to an increase in business
volume. Accrued liabilities and contingencies as of March 29, 2003 decreased by
$2.3 million from December 31, 2002, mainly due to the payout of profit sharing,
401(k) contributions, and management incentive bonuses.

Inventories as of March 29, 2003 decreased by $2.7 million from December
31, 2002. Raw materials as of March 29, 2003 decreased by $1.9 million from
December 31, 2002 as the Company improved its management of raw material
purchases. Work-in-process as of March 29, 2003 increased by $0.2 million from
December 31, 2002. Finished goods inventory as of March 29, 2003 decreased by
$1.0 million from December 31, 2002, mainly due to higher sales and better
inventory control.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $0.8 million in the first
three months of 2003 compared to $0.9 million used in investing activities in
the same period of 2002. The Company spent $4.3 million on capital expenditures
in the first three months of 2003, primarily related to machinery and equipment.
In December 2002, the Company signed a loan agreement with Vishay. The borrowing
is on a revolving basis and the agreement expires in January 2005. In March
2003, the Company received a related party promissory note under the loan
agreement for $70 million from Vishay, which was callable by the Company at any
time and bore an interest rate of 3.0%. As of March 29, 2003, the entire
related-party promissory note was outstanding. The promissory note was fully
repaid on April 2, 2003.

For the next twelve months, management expects that cash flows from
operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's normal operating
requirements and to fund its research and development and capital expenditure
plans.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

Statements contained herein that relate to the Company's future
performance, including statements with respect to anticipated improvements in
the Company's business and business climate, future product innovation and
implementation of cost savings strategies, are forward-looking statements within
