NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated, condensed financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Rule 10-01 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 management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations have
been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Diodes Taiwan Co., Ltd. (a foreign
subsidiary), and the accounts of the Shanghai Kai Hong Electronics Co., Ltd.
("Kai Hong") joint venture in which the Company has a 70% controlling interest.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.



NOTE B - INCOME TAXES

Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Financial
Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This pronouncement requires that taxes be
provided based upon the tax rate at which the items of income and expense are
expected to be settled in the Company's tax return.

SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets
and liabilities for both the expected future tax impact of differences between
the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the
expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss carryforwards. SFAS
No. 109 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to
reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.

Accordingly, the Company has recorded a net deferred tax asset
resulting from net deductible temporary differences in the amount of $893,000.
This deferred tax asset results primarily from inventory reserves and expense
accruals which are not currently deductible for federal income tax purposes.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Except for the historical information contained herein, the
matters addressed in this Item 2 constitute "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such
forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties,
including those discussed below under the heading "Factors That May Affect
Future Results" and elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q, that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the Company's
management. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act")
provides certain "safe harbor" provisions for forward-looking statements. All
forward-looking statements made on this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made
pursuant to the Act.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Net sales for the three months and six months ended June 30,
1996 were, $13.5 million and $26.7 million, respectively, representing
decreases of approximately 7.5% and 7.4%, respectively, compared to the same
periods in 1995. Price erosion due to continuing excess inventories throughout
the industry adversely affected the Company's net sales and gross margins.
Gross profit margins for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 were
25.7% and 26.9%, respectively versus 28.5% and 28.1% in the comparable periods
in 1995, primarily due to industry-wide pricing pressures, as well as to
inventory reserves recorded by the Company. With decreased sales and
competitive pricing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
maintain these gross profit margins.

The Semiconductor Industry Association has reported that
book-to-bill ratios (the dollar value of new orders scheduled versus the dollar
value of orders shipped) throughout the industry fell in early 1996, reaching a
nine year low in March. In the second quarter of 1996, the Company continued
to experience a slowing of orders, primarily due to a slow down in the personal
computer and related industries. Although the Company's book-to-bill ratio
seems to be recovering slightly, there can be no assurance that such recovery
will continue or be maintained.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996, as a percentage of net sales, was
19.0% and 18.8%, respectively, versus 16.8% and 17.0% for the comparable
periods last year. Planned increases in SG&A accounted for the majority of the
increase including three items in particular: (i) higher promotional expenses
for a new product line of leading-technology surface-mount (SO-8) power
MOSFETs; (ii) additional operating costs associated with the Company's
controlling interest in Kai Hong, a previously-announced investment on mainland
China for the manufacture of SOT-23s; and (iii) ongoing costs associated with
the Company's goal of achieving ISO 9002 certification by year-end. ISO 9002
certification includes a subcontractor qualification program and is designed to
maximize product quality, enhance customer service, and strengthen the
Company's image in the marketplace.





8
9
Second quarter and year-to-date net interest expense increased
$79,000 and $159,000, respectively, from the comparable periods last year. The
Company has used approximately $3.1 million of its credit line to fund equity
contribution for the recently announced Kai Hong joint venture. The facility
is operational, has begun shipping product, and phase 1 is expected to be at
full capacity in the fourth quarter of 1996.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
the Company has accounted for this majority owned joint venture on a
consolidated basis. During the first half of 1996, the Kai Hong joint venture
has capitalized start-up costs of approximately $803,000 which are classified
in the consolidated balance sheet as "Other assets".


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the
percentage which certain items in the statement of income bear to net sales and

1996 1995
---- ----
NET SALES $ 13,450,000 $14,539,000

The Company's 7.5% decrease in net sales for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, compared to the three months ended June 30, 1995, was
primarily attributed to price erosion due to continuing excess inventories
throughout the industry. The Semiconductor Industry Association has reported
that book-to-bill ratios (the dollar value of new orders scheduled versus the
dollar value of orders shipped) throughout the industry fell in early 1996,
reaching a nine year low in March. In the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company
experienced a slowing of orders, primarily due to a slow down in the personal
computer and related industries, and although the Company's book-to-bill ratio
seems to be recovering slightly, there can be no assurance that such recovery
will continue or be maintained.



1996 1995
---- ----
GROSS PROFIT $ 3,455,000 $4,138,000
GROSS PROFIT MARGIN PERCENTAGE 25.7% 28.5%

The Company's gross profit for the three months ended June 30,
1996 decreased approximately $683,000 or 16.5%. This decrease was primarily
due to the 7.5% decrease in net sales and industry-wide pricing pressures, as
well as to inventory reserves recorded by the Company. As a percentage of net
sales, the Company's gross profit decreased to 25.7% from 28.5% for the
comparable periods in 1995.


1996 1995
---- ----
SG&A $ 2,552,000 $2,442,000

The Company's SG&A for the three months ended June 30, 1996
increased approximately 4.5% compared to the same period last year. This
$110,000 increase was primarily attributable to planned increases in SG&A
including three items in particular: (i) higher promotional expenses for a new
product line of leading-technology surface-mount (SO-8) power MOSFETs; (ii)
additional operating costs associated with the Company's controlling interest
in Kai Hong, a previously-announced investment on mainland China for the
manufacture of SOT- 23s; and (iii) ongoing costs associated with the Company's
goal of achieving ISO 9002 certification by year-end. ISO 9002 certification
includes a subcontractor qualification program and is designed to maximize
product quality, enhance customer service, and strengthen the Company's image
in the marketplace.

SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased from 16.8% for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 to 19.0% in the comparable period in 1996.
The Company continues to manage SG&A by implementing cost controls. The
Company believes that the slowdown in orders is only temporary and thus will
continue to implement its plans for future growth.





10
11

1996 1995
--------- ----------
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS $ 903,000 $1,696,000

The Company's fiscal 1996 comparative decrease in operating
profit of approximately $793,000, or 46.8%, is primarily the net result of the
Company's 7.5% decrease in net sales, 16.5% decrease in gross profit, and 2.2
percentage point increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales.



1996 1995
---------- ---------
INTEREST INCOME $ 42,000 $ 8,000
INTEREST EXPENSE $ 149,000 $ 36,000

The Company's interest income for the three months ended June
30, 1996 increased approximately $34,000 or 425% compared to the same period
last year as the Company has advanced funds to FabTech, Inc. ("FabTech") and
Kai Hong. The interest income is primarily the interest charged to FabTech
under the Company's loan agreement. The Company's interest expense for 1996
increased $113,000, primarily as a result of an increase in the Company's usage
of its credit facility to expand the Company's inventory and finance additional
sourcing agreements, primarily FabTech and Kai Hong.



1996 1995
-------- ---------
OTHER INCOME AND
MINORITY INTEREST IN JOINT VENTURE $ 68,000 $ 124,000

The Company's other income for the three months ended June 30,
1996 decreased approximately $56,000, or 45.2% compared to other income for the
same period in 1995 primarily as a result of decreased commissions earned by
the Company's Taiwan subsidiary on drop shipment sales in Asia as well as the
discontinuation of commissions from ITT.

The minority interest in joint venture represents the
Company's 70% controlling interest in the Kai Hong joint venture's net income.
The Kai Hong joint venture's earnings are consolidated within the Company's
financials, therefore the $11,000 represents the Company's share of the joint
venture loss.



1996 1995
--------- ----------
NET INCOME $ 555,000 $1,122,000
PRIMARY EARNINGS PER SHARE $ 0.11 $ 0.22

The Company's net income for the three months ended June 30,
1996 decreased 50.5%, or approximately $567,000 compared to the same period in
1995. Primary earnings per share decreased approximately 50.0% for the three
months ended June 30, 1996, compared to the





11
12
three months ended June 30, 1995. Decreases in both net income and earnings
per share are primarily attributable to a 7.5% decrease in net sales, a 1.8
percentage point decrease in gross profit margin, and a 2.2 percentage point
increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales, combined with a $79,000 increase
in net interest expense.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995.

percentage which certain items in the statement of income bear to net sales and

NET SALES $ 26,656,000 $28,778,000

The Company's 7.4% decrease in net sales for the six months
ended June 30, 1996, compared to the six months ended June 30, 1995, was
primarily attributed to a decline in customer demand resulting in a decrease in
the number of units shipped, as well as price erosion, both due to continuing
excess inventories throughout the industry. Although the Company's
book-to-bill ratio seems to be recovering slightly, there can be no assurance
that such recovery will continue or be maintained.

GROSS PROFIT $ 7,168,000 $ 8,081,000
GROSS PROFIT MARGIN PERCENTAGE 26.9% 28.1%

The Company's gross profit for the six months ended June 30,
1996 decreased approximately $913,000 or 11.3%. This decrease was primarily
due to the 7.4% decrease in net sales as well as industry-wide pricing
pressures, and inventory reserves recorded by the Company. As a percentage of
net sales, the Company's gross profit decreased to 26.9% from 28.1% for the
comparable period in 1995.


1996 1995
---- ----
SG&A $ 5,009,000 $4,879,000

The Company's SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 1996
increased approximately 2.7% compared to the same period last year. This
$130,000 increase was primarily attributable to planned increases in SG&A
including three items in particular: (i) higher promotional expenses for a new
product line of leading-technology surface-mount (SO-8) power MOSFETs; (ii)
additional operating costs associated with the Company's controlling interest
in Kai Hong, a previously-announced investment on mainland China for the
manufacture of SOT-23s; and (iii) ongoing costs associated with the Company's
goal of achieving ISO 9002 certification by year-end. ISO 9002 certification
includes a subcontractor qualification program and is designed to improve
product quality, enhance customer service, and strengthen the Company's image
in the marketplace.

The total SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased from
17.0% in 1995, to 18.8% in 1996. The Company continues to manage SG&A by
implementing cost controls, but believes that the slowdown in orders is only
temporary and thus will continue to implement its plan for future growth.



1996 1995
---- ----
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS $ 2,159,000 $3,202,000

The Company's fiscal 1996 comparative decrease in operating
profit of approximately $1,043,000 or 32.6%, is primarily the net result of the
Company's 7.4% decrease in net sales and 1.8 percentage point increase in SG&A
as a percentage of net sales.

1996 1995
--------- --------
INTEREST INCOME $ 89,000 $ 19,000
INTEREST EXPENSE $ 272,000 $ 43,000

The Company's interest income for the six months ended June
30, 1996, increased approximately $70,000 compared to the same period last year
as the Company is advancing funds to FabTech and Kai Hong. The interest income
is primarily the interest charged to FabTech under the Company's loan
agreement. The Company's interest expense for 1996 increased $229,000,
primarily as a result of an increase in the Company's usage of its credit
facility to expand the Company's inventory and finance additional sourcing
agreements, primarily FabTech and Kai Hong.



1996 1995
--------- ---------
OTHER INCOME AND
MINORITY INTEREST IN JOINT VENTURE $ 189,000 $ 195,000

The Company's other income for the six months ended June 30,
1996 increased approximately $6,000 primarily as a result of decreased
commissions earned by the Company's Taiwan subsidiary on drop shipment sales in
Asia as well as the discontinuation of commissions from ITT.

The minority interest in joint venture represents the
Company's 70% controlling interest in the Kai Hong joint venture. The Kai Hong
joint venture earnings are consolidated within the Company's financials,
therefore the $11,000 represents the Company's share of the joint venture loss.



1996 1995
----------- ----------
NET INCOME $ 1,403,000 $2,105,000
PRIMARY EARNINGS PER SHARE $ 0.27 $0.41

The Company's net income for the six months ended June 30,
1996 decreased 33.3% or approximately $702,000 compared to the same period in
1995. Primary earnings per share decreased approximately 34.1% for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, compared to the six months ended June 30,1995.
Decreases in both net income and earnings per share are primarily attributable
to a 7.4% decrease in net sales, a 1.8 percentage point increase in SG&A as a
percentage of net sales, combined with a $168,000 increase in interest expense.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 was $629,000, compared to cash used by operating activities of
$3.7 million as of June 30, 1995. The





14
15
primary source of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was a $1.4
million net income, while the primary use was a $1.2 million increase in
accounts receivable.

Accounts receivable increased 15.2% as the Company has
experienced a slight slowing trend in cash receipts in both its U.S. and
overseas operations. The Company, through refined customer service has, in
some cases, extended terms to assist customers. The Company's inventories have
increased 1.3% as the Company's continues its commitment to provide timely
delivery of product to customers.

The ratio of the Company's current assets to current
liabilities on June 30, 1996, was 2.0 to 1 compared to a ratio of 2.1 to 1 as
of December 31, 1995.

Cash used by investing activities was $5.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $100,000 in 1995. The Company has
provided approximately $3.1 million to Kai Hong - for the construction of a new
facility and equipment purchases for the manufacture of SOT-23s; and
approximately $3.5 million to FabTech - to be used in upgrading, reconfiguring,
and starting up operations at an existing wafer fabrication facility. The
Company has a 70% interest in the Kai Hong joint venture, is responsible for
production and management, and currently receives 100% of the production. The
venture parties have agreed to make significant equity contributions to the
joint venture and anticipate that a portion of the cost of developing the
project will be debt financed. The capital contribution will be made in several
phases over three years. Both alliances are indicative of the Company's desire
to participate in the sourcing of advanced-technology discrete components, and
to enhance its ability to procure products in a timely fashion and at reasonable
cost.

Cash provided by financing activities was $5.5 million as of
June 30, 1996, compared to $2.5 million in 1995. Long-term obligations
increased from $244,000 at December 31, 1995 to $4.2 million as of June 30,
1996. The Company used its credit facility to fund the advances to FabTech and
Kai Hong.

In August 1996, the Company entered into a banking agreement
with Union Bank of California who will provide a credit facility of $23
million. The credit facility, replacing the $14 million credit facility with
Wells Fargo Bank, will be used for working capital, financing for the Kai Hong
joint venture, as well as for future growth. As collateral security, the
Company has granted to the lender a lien in all of its property, other than real
property. The Company is subject to certain restrictive covenants, including,
but not limited to, prohibitions on certain mergers or sales of assets,
restrictions on the incurrance of additional liens or indebtedness, limitations
on certain capital expenditures in excess of $1.0 million, restrictions on the
making of loans, guarantees, investments and advances, and restrictions on the
retirement of the Company's stock.

The Company anticipates it will continue to utilize such
credit facility to support its operations. The Company believes that the
continued availability of this credit facility and internally generated funds
will be sufficient to meet the Company's currently foreseeable operating cash
requirements. The Company's cash balance at June 30, 1996 increased $297,000
compared to December 31, 1995 balance.

Property, plant and equipment increased approximately $3.3
million since December 31, 1995 primarily due to property, plant, equipment and
machinery at the Kai Hong facility.

The Company changed the accounting method for the Kai Hong
joint venture from an equity method at December 31, 1995 (which resulted in a
single line item "Investment in Joint Venture" of $1.8 million) to a full
consolidation presentation, when the Kai Hong agreement was changed from a
compensation trade agreement to a joint venture effective March 18, 1996.

16
The Company's total working capital increased 6.3% to $14.1
million as of June 30, 1996 from $13.3 million as of December 31, 1995, and
Company believes that its working capital position will be sufficient for its
requirements for the foreseeable future.

As of June 30, 1996, the Company has no material plans or
commitments for capital expenditures other than disclosed in the Kai Hong and
FabTech agreements previously mentioned. However, to ensure that the Company
can secure reliable and cost effective sourcing to support and better position
itself for growth, the Company is continuously evaluating additional sources of
products. The Company believes its credit and financial position will provide
sufficient access to funds should an appropriate investment opportunity arise
and, thereby, assist the Company in improving customer satisfaction and in
maintaining or increasing product market penetration. The Company's debt to
equity ratio increased to 0.99 at June 30, 1996 from 0.78 at December 31, 1995.
The Company anticipates this ratio may increase as the Company continues to use
its credit facilities to fund additional sourcing opportunities.
