NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
JUNE 30, 1997


Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not
include all information and footnotes necessary for presentation of financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. The information
furnished reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair summary of the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
presented. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto filed with Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996.

Note 2: Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share amounts for all periods reflect a 5% stock dividend paid on
June 9, 1997.

Note 3: Acquisitions

On July 17, 1997, the Company consummated its acquisition of 65% of Lite-On
Power Semiconductor Corporation, a Republic of China (Taiwan) company ("LPSC"),
and a member of Taiwan's Lite-On Group of companies, for a net purchase price of
US$130 million.

LPSC produces diodes, primarily in the Far East, with manufacturing facilities
in Taipei, Taiwan; Shanghai, China; and Lee's Summit, Missouri. LPSC also owns
approximately 40.2% of Diodes, Inc. (AMEX: DIO), located in Westlake,
California. Diodes is a U.S. public company traded on the American Stock
Exchange.

Diodes are discrete semiconductor components used to convert electrical currents
from AC to DC and are used in all electronic equipment that requires such
conversion.

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated April 25, 1997, among LPSC,
Silitek Corporation ("Silitek"), Lite-On Technology Corporation, Dyna Investment
Co., Ltd., Lite-On Inc. and other shareholders as Sellers, and the Company, as
Purchaser (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), the Company, through two Singapore
entities, acquired approximately 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of LPSC for cash consideration of US$200 million.


-8-
The purchase  was made by a Singapore  company  (the "Joint  Venture  Company"),
whose capital stock at the time of the acquisition was 50% owned directly by the
Company, and 50% owned by another Singapore company (the "Holding Company"),
which at the time was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase
price was funded by current availability under the Company's existing credit
facilities, which were amended as of June 30, 1997 to reflect a number of
technical modifications necessary to permit the LPSC acquisition and the Joint
Venture described below.

Concurrently with the consummation of the acquisition, pursuant to the terms of
the Joint Venture Agreement, dated April 25, 1997, between the Company and a
company formed by Silitek and certain other shareholders of LPSC, Lite-On JV
Corporation ("JV"), which agreement was amended as of July 17, 1997 (as amended,
the "Joint Venture Agreement"), JV purchased from the Company 35% of its
interest in the Holding Company and 17.5% of its interest in the Joint Venture
Company for consideration of $70 million.

In connection therewith, JV received stock appreciation rights ("SARs") in the
Company, which represent the right to receive the increase in value on the
equivalent of 1,625,000 shares of the Company's stock above $23 per share.
Subject to certain annual and other adjustments, the Company may redeem the SARs
if the Company's stock trades above $43 per share. At that price, the SAR's
would entitle JV to 755,813 shares of the Company's common stock.

The Joint Venture Agreement also defines the terms of the management of LPSC and
its subsidiaries and the agreement between the Company and JV to market the
Company's products in Asia and LPSC's products throughout the world.

The foregoing summaries of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Joint Venture
Agreement (including the amendment thereto) are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the text of each of such agreements, which are filed as exhibits to
the Company's report on Schedule 13D, filed on July 25, 1997, which agreements
are incorporated herein by reference.

The summary of the amendment to the Company's credit facilities is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the text of such amendment, which is filed as an
exhibit hereto and which is incorporated herein by reference.

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

Results of Operations

Income statement captions as a percentage of sales and the effective tax rates
were as follows:

Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
June 30, June 30,
1997 1996 1997 1996
---- ---- ---- ----

Costs of products sold 75.9% 73.7% 76.0% 73.1%
Gross profit 24.1 26.3 24.0 26.9
Selling, general and
administrative expenses 12.4 14.1 12.4 13.5
Operating income 11.2 2.7 11.1 8.7
Earnings before income taxes 10.2 1.4 10.0 7.3
Effective tax rate 28.0 4.0 27.6 25.2
Net earnings 7.3 1.4 7.3 5.4

Net sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 decreased $841,000
or .3% and $38,239,000 or 6.5%, respectively, from the comparable periods of the
prior year. The decrease in net sales is related to a number of factors
including price reductions in the Company's "commodity" products (tantalum,
ceramic and resistor chips). As a result of competitive pressures, prices of
these products have been reduced between 10% and 20% in the past year. In
addition, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies for
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 in comparison to the prior year's
periods, resulted in decreases in reported sales of $12,005,000 and $24,286,000,
respectively.

Costs of products sold for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 were
75.9% and 76.0% of net sales, respectively, as compared to 73.7% and 73.1%,
respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. Gross profits for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 were negatively affected by a
difficult pricing environment.

Israeli government grants, recorded as a reduction of costs of products sold,
were $2,801,000 and $5,425,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1997, respectively, as compared to $2,061,000 and $4,201,000 for the comparable
prior year periods. Future grants and other incentive programs offered to the
Company by the Israeli government will likely depend on the Company's continuing
to increase capital investment and the number of the Company's employees in
Israel. Deferred income at June 30, 1997


-10-
relating to Israeli government grants was $60,869,000 as compared to $58,570,000
at December 31, 1996.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1997 were 12.4% of net sales, as compared to 14.1% and 13.5%,
respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased by $4,768,000 and $11,224,000, respectively,
as compared to the prior year periods, as a result of the cost reduction program
instituted in 1996.

The Company recorded a pretax restructuring charge of $24,280,000 ($16,000,000
after tax) in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 in connection with a reduction of
approximately 1,300 employees in the Company's worldwide workforce. The Company
also closed or downsized several facilities in North America and Europe.

Interest costs decreased by $1,005,000 and $1,597,000 for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, from the comparable prior year periods
primarily as a result of reductions of bank indebtedness using cash generated
from operating activities.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was 27.6% as
compared to 25.2% for the comparable prior year period. The effective tax rate
for calendar year 1996 was 25.2%. The lower tax rate for the quarter ended June
30, 1996 was due primarily to the restructuring charges recorded in the higher
tax rate countries, where the Company conducts its business. The continuing
effect of low tax rates in Israel (as compared to the statutory rate in the
United States) has been to increase net earnings by $2,931,000 and $4,165,000
for the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $4,451,000 and
$8,538,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The more favorable Israeli tax rates are applied to specific approved projects
and normally continue to be available for a period of ten years.

Financial Condition

Cash flows from operations were $92,184,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1997 compared to $48,670,000 for the prior year's period. The increase in cash
flows from operations is primarily due to a decrease in inventory for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to an increase in inventory for the six
months ended June 30, 1996. Net purchases of property and equipment for six
months ended June 30, 1997 were $34,812,000 compared to $77,546,000 in the prior
year's period. This decrease reflects the fact that the Company has
substantially completed its current restructuring/expansion program. Net cash
used by financing


-11-
activities  of  $37,909,000  for the six  months  ended June 30,  1997  includes
$45,981,000 used to pay down bank indebtedness.

The Company incurred a pretax restructuring charge of $38,030,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1996. Approximately $28,953,000 of these charges relate to
employee termination costs covering approximately 2,600 technical, production,
administrative and support employees located in the United States, Canada,
France and Germany. As of June 30, 1997, approximately 2,199 employees have been
terminated and $19,585,000 of the termination costs have been paid. The
restructuring plan is expected to be completed by the end of 1997.

The Company's financial condition at June 30, 1997 is strong, with a current
ratio of 3.02 to 1. The Company's ratio of long-term debt (less current portion)
to stockholders' equity was .18 to 1 at June 30, 1997 and .24 to 1 at December
31, 1996.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company financed the
cash portion ($130 million) of the Lite-On acquisition from current availability
under the Company's credit facilities.

Management believes that available sources of credit, together with cash
expected to be generated from operations, will be sufficient to satisfy the
Company's anticipated financing needs for working capital and capital
expenditures during the next twelve months.

Inflation

Normally, inflation does not have a significant impact on the Company's
operations. The Company's products are not generally sold on long-term
contracts. Consequently, selling prices, to the extent permitted by competition,
can be adjusted to reflect cost increases caused by inflation.

Safe Harbor Statement

From time to time, information provided by the Company, including but not
limited to statements in this report, or other statements made by or on behalf
of the Company, may contain "forward-looking" information within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
discussed in the forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth
below identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of
the Company.

o The Company offers a broad variety of products and services to its
customers. Changes in demand for, or in the mix of, products and
services comprising revenues could cause actual operating results to
vary from those expected.

o The Company's future operating results are dependent, in part, on its
ability to develop, produce and market new and innovative products, to
convert existing products to surface mount devices and to customize
certain products to meet customer requirements. There are numerous
risks inherent in this complex process, including rapid technological
changes and the need for the Company to timely bring to market new
products and applications to meet customers' changing needs.

o The Company operates in a highly competitive environment, which
includes significant competitive pricing pressures and intense
competition for entry into new markets.

o A slowdown in demand for passive electronic components or recessionary
trends in the global economy in general or in specific countries or
regions where the Company sells the bulk of its products, such as the
U.S., Germany, France or the Pacific Rim, could adversely impact the
Company's results of operations.

o Much of the orders in the Company's backlog may be canceled by its
customers without penalty. Customers may on occasion double and triple
order components from multiple sources to insure timely delivery when
backlog is particularly long. The Company's results of operations may
be adversely impacted if customers were to cancel a material portion
of such orders.


-12-
o    Approximately   50%  of  the  Company's   revenues  are  derived  from
operations and sales outside the United States. As a result, currency
exchange rate fluctuations, inflation, changes in monetary policy and
tariffs, potential changes in laws and regulations affecting the
Company's business in foreign jurisdictions, trade restrictions or
prohibitions, intergovernmental disputes, increased labor costs and
reduction or cancellation of government grants, tax benefits or other
incentives could impact the Company's results of operations.

o Specifically, as a result of the increased production by the Company's
operations in Israel over the past several years, the low tax rates in
Israel (as compared to the statutory rates in the U.S.) have had the
effect of increasing the Company's net earnings. In addition, the
Company takes advantage of certain incentive programs in Israel in the
form of grants designed to increase employment in Israel. Any
significant increase in the Israeli tax rates or reduction or
elimination of any of the Israeli grant programs could have an adverse
impact on the Company's results of operations.

o The Company may experience underutilization of certain plants and
factories in high labor cost regions and capacity constraints in
plants and factories located in low labor cost regions, resulting
initially in production inefficiencies and higher costs. Such costs
include those associated with work force reductions and plant closings
in the higher labor cost regions and start-up expenses, manufacturing
and construction delays, and increased depreciation costs in
connection with the start of production in new plants and expansions
in lower labor cost regions. Moreover, capacity constraints may limit
the Company's ability to continue to meet demand for any of the
Company's products.


-13-
o    When the Company  restructures  its operations in response to changing
economic conditions, particularly in Europe, labor unrest or strikes
may occur, which could have an adverse effect on the Company.

o The Company's results of operations may be adversely impacted by (i)
difficulties in obtaining raw materials, supplies, power, natural
resources and any other items needed for the production of the
Company's products; (ii) the effects of quality deviations in raw
materials, particularly tantalum powder, palladium and ceramic
dielectric materials; and (iii) the effects of significant price
increases for tantalum or palladium, or an inability to obtain
adequate supplies of tantalum or palladium from the limited number of
suppliers.

o The Company's historic growth in revenues and net earnings have
resulted in large part from its strategy to expand through
acquisitions. However, there is no assurance that the Company will
find or consummate transactions with suitable acquisition candidates
in the future.

o The Company's strategy also focuses on the reduction of selling,
general and administrative expenses through the integration or
elimination of redundant sales offices and administrative functions at
acquired companies and achievement of significant production cost
savings through the transfer and expansion of manufacturing operations
to lower cost regions such as Israel, Mexico, Portugal and the Czech
Republic. The Company's inability to achieve any of these goals could
have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

o The Company may be adversely affected by the costs and other effects
associated with (i) legal and administrative cases and proceedings
(whether civil, such as environmental and product-related, or
criminal); (ii) settlements, investigations, claims, and changes in
those items; (iii) developments or assertions by or against the
Company relating to intellectual property rights and intellectual
property licenses; and (iv) adoption of new, or changes in, accounting
policies and practices and the application of such policies and
practices.

o The Company's results of operations may also be affected by (i)
changes within the Company's organization, particularly at the
executive officer level, or in compensation and benefit plans; and
(ii) the amount, type and cost of the financing which the Company
maintains, and any changes to the financing.

o The inherent risk of environmental liability and remediation costs
associated with the Company's manufacturing operations may result in
large and unforseen liabilities.

o The Company's operations may be adversely impacted by (i) the effects
of war or severe weather or other acts of God on the Company's
operations, including disruptions at manufacturing facilities; (ii)
the effects of a disruption in the Company's computerized ordering
systems; and (iii) the effects of a disruption in the Company's
communications systems.
