SEMICON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
December 31, 1995
NOTE A -- 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 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.
NOTE B -- INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding. Common equivalent
shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and the
assumed convers ion of 13% Convertible Subordinated Debentures when their effect
is dilutive. If the effect of the assumed conversion of 13% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures is dilutive, net income used to calculate earnings per
share is increased to include the after tax effect of debenture interest assumed
to be forgone.
Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding, excluding common equivalent shares which
would be antidilutive.
NOTE C -- INCOME TAXES
At December 31, 1995, the Company had tax loss carryforwards of approximately
$6,500,000 and tax credit carryforwards of approximately $500,000 available to
offset future federal taxable income and operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $8,300,000 and credit carryforwards of approximately $500,000 to
offset future book income. These carryforwards expire principally in the years
2001-2007. These carryforwards may be subject to limitations on annual
utilization under current Internal Revenue Service regulations. Book loss
carryforwards exceed those available for income tax purposes due primarily to
various accruals and reserves not currently deductible.

(UNAUDITED) -- Continued
December 31, 1995
NOTE D -- EXTRAORDINARY GAINS
During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company purchased $77,000
($69,000 in the fiscal 1995 quarter) face amount of its 13% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures. The purchases reduced indebtedness and accrued
interest by $136,000 ($113,000 in the fiscal 1995 quarter) and resulted in a
$132,000 ($108,000 in the fiscal 1995 quarter) extraordinary gain.
During the first six months of fiscal 1996, the Company purchased $115,000
($379,000 in the fiscal 1995 period) face amount of its 13% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures. The purchases reduced indebtedness and accrued
interest by $202,000 ($614,000 in the fiscal 1995 period) and resulted in a
$195,000 ($579,000 in the fiscal 1995 period) extraordinary gain.
During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company settled deferred
compensation obligations aggregating $270,000. The settlement resulted in a
$158,000 extraordinary gain. The settlement requires the Company to make
payments through October 1997. At December 31, 1995, the settlement payments
were secured by a $90,000 security interest in accounts receivable.
During the quarter ended October 2, 1994, the Company settled its debt
obligations with NationsBank. The settlement reduced indebtedness and accrued
interest by $468,000 and resulted in a $368,000 extraordinary gain.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
The Company operates at the forebearance of its creditors. It continues to be
in default of debt obligations aggregating $4,245,000 for principal and interest
at December 31, 1995. The defaults exist because of non-payment of principal
and accrued interest for periods extending back to July 1990.
The Company faces various environmental issues. The Company had a compliance
deadline of August 2, 1995, to remediate environmental problems at its
Burlington, Massachusetts operating site, currently estimated to cost $350,000
to $600,000. The Company filed a "Financial Inability" notice as required by
the Code of Massachusetts Regulations before the August 1995 compliance
deadline. The Company was designated a potentially responsible party ("PRP") by
the United States Environmental Protection Agency at a superfund landfill site
in Lowell, Massachusetts. The settling PRP group has demanded that the Company
pay 10.8% of the $20,000,000 to $25,000,000 estimated cost of landfill cleanup.
The Company intends to defend itself against this claim. In November 1989, the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts notified the Company that the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection believed that the Company has liability
for hazardous material cleanup at the former subsidiary, Microfab, Inc., site in
Amesbury, Massachusetts. The Company denies responsibility and liability in the
matter. The Company is financially unable to pay these claims or effect
remediations of these issues. If pursued by others, the company could be forced
to seek protection from its creditors under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
The Company has no outside source of financing and does not expect to be able to
obtain any such financing unless and until it eliminates its insolvency and
achieves profitability.
Customer insecurity about the Company's financial condition continues. The
foregoing factors and the Company's operating losses make the Company's
financial condition precarious.
The Company continues to attempt to settle debt obligations at less than face
amount and has succeeded in reducing the principal amount of its debt in
default from $6,170,000 at June 30, 1990, to $3,023,000 at December 31, 1995.
However, during that period of time, interest has accrued on the unsettled
portion of debt obligations in default to make the aggregate amount in default
at December 31, 1995, $4,245,000.

Settlements to October 1, 1995, have included: purchases of $2,166,000 face
amount of debentures for $148,000; settlement of $468,000 of NationsBank debt
obligations for $100,000 and settlement of $716,000 of deferred compensation and
other obligations for $186,000. Despite these settlements, the Company's
overall efforts since June 30, 1990, to complete a consensual non-bankruptcy
debt restructuring have been unsuccessful.
The Company has recorded operating losses in all but three quarters since June
30, 1989. If the Company is unable to return to consistently profitable
operations, to make satisfactory arrangements with its creditors and to satisfy
its environmental obligations, the Company might be required to seek protection
from its creditors under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
The Company has suffered from the effects of a post cold war decrease in the
demand for discrete semiconductor products used in military applications. The
decrease in demand has resulted in fierce price competition and a shift in sales
mix to commercial products where the Company must compete with large, highly
automated domestic and foreign manufacturers.
The decrease in cash at December 31, 1995, as compared to June 30, 1995,
reflected the Company's investment in inventory, plant and equipment during the
period.
At December 31, 1995, the Company had a deficit in stockholders' equity
aggregating $3,993,000 and its current liabilities exceeded its current assets
by $3,947,000.
The Company did not retain independent accountants to audit its fiscal 1993,
1994 and 1995 financial statements because management did not believe the
Company could afford the cost of an audit.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
Net sales increased 19% or $282,000 from $1,464,000 for the second quarter of
fiscal 1995 to $1,746,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Backlog at
December 31, 1995 was $2,049,000 as compared to $1,714,000 the prior year and
$1,868,000 at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995. The book-to-bill
ratio for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 was 80% as compared to 118% a year
ago.
Gross profit on sales increased from $283,000 (19% of sales) for the second
quarter of fiscal 1995 to $355,000 (20% of sales) for the second quarter of
fiscal 1996. The increase resulted from increases in sales which were not
offset by increases in manufacturing costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $27,000 to $248,000 for
the second quarter of fiscal 1996 from $275,000 for the second quarter of fiscal
1995. The decrease related to a decrease in administrative wages and fringes
that resulted from a reduction in personnel.
Interest expense decreased $18,000 to $77,000 for the second quarter of fiscal
1996 as a result of reductions in outstanding debt.
10
Second quarter results for fiscal 1996 included extraordinary gains aggregating
$290,000 from purchases of the Company's 13% Convertible Subordinated Debentures
and from settlement of deferred compensation obligations at discounted amounts.
Second quarter results for fiscal 1995 included extraordinary gains aggregating
$108,000 from purchases of the Company's 13% Convertible Subordinated Debentures
at discounted amounts.
SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
Net sales increased 12% or $368,000 from $2,900,000 for the first six months of
fiscal 1995 to $3,268,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1996. The increase
reflected a recent industry wide increase in the demand for commercial
semiconductor products.
Gross profit on sales increased slightly from $477,000 (16% of sales) for the
first six months of fiscal 1995 to $495,000 (15% of sales) for the first six
months of fiscal 1996.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $53,000 to $498,000 for
the first six months of fiscal 1996 from $551,000 for the first six months of
fiscal 1995. The decrease related to a decrease in administrative wages and
fringes that resulted from a reduction in personnel.
Interest expense decreased $38,000 to $155,000 for the first six months of
fiscal 1996 as a result of reductions in outstanding debt.
First six months results for fiscal 1996 included extraordinary gains
aggregating $353,000 from purchases of the Company's 13% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures and from settlement of deferred compensation obligations
at discounted amounts.
First six months results for fiscal 1995 included extraordinary gains
aggregating $947,000 from purchases of the Company's 13% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures and from settlements of the NationsBank debt at
discounted amounts.
