1.   PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial information furnished herein is unaudited,  but, in the opinion of
the management of Microsemi Corporation,  includes all adjustments (all of which
are normal,  recurring  adjustments)  necessary for a fair  presentation  of the
results of operations for the periods  indicated.  The results of operations for
the first  thirty-nine  weeks of the  current  fiscal  year are not  necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated 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 a fair  presentation of financial
position,  results of  operations  and cash flows in conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles.  The  financial  statements  and notes should,
therefore,  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial  statements  and  notes
thereto in the Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended  October 1,
1995.

The Company  maintains a line of credit with a bank,  from which the Company can
borrow up to $20,000,000  based upon percentages of certain accounts  receivable
and inventory  balances at certain of the Company's  operations.  As of June 30,
1996, $4,536,000 was borrowed under this credit facility.

The $5,350,000  Industrial  Development  Revenue Bond was  originally  issued in
April 1985,  through the City of Santa Ana for the  construction of improvements
and new facilities at the Santa Ana plant. It was remarketed in 1995 and carries
interest  currently at 6.75% per annum. The terms of the bond require  principal
payments  of  $1,050,000  in  1998,  $100,000  annually  from  1999 to 2004  and
$3,700,000  in 2005.  A  $5,557,000  letter of credit  is  carried  by a bank to
guarantee  the  repayment  of  this  bond.  There  are no  compensating  balance
requirements,  however,  the letter of credit agreement  requires the Company to
make  collateral  payments  of  $350,000  on  February  1, 1996,  1997 and 1998,
totaling  $1,050,000  to ensure  the  availability  of funds for the  payment of
principal scheduled for February 1, 1998.

The Company's 5.875% Convertible  Subordinated Debentures require annual sinking
fund payments in the amount of 5% of the principal amount thereof, commencing in
March 1997, less the principal amount of converted or redeemed debentures.


5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings  per share on the  primary  basis  have been  computed  based  upon the
weighted  average  number of common and  common  equivalent  shares  outstanding
during the  respective  periods.  Earnings per share on the fully  diluted basis
have been computed, when the result is dilutive,  based upon the assumption that
the convertible subordinated debt had







been  converted to common stock at the date of  issuance,  with a  corresponding
increase in net income to reflect a reduction in related interest  expense,  net
of applicable taxes.


6.   STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers
all  short-term,  highly liquid  investments  with maturities of three months or
less at the date of acquisition to be cash  equivalents.

7.   CONTINGENCY

In  Broomfield,   Colorado,   an  owner  of  property   located  adjacent  to  a
manufacturing  facility  owned by a  subsidiary  of the  Company  had filed suit
against the subsidiary and other parties, claiming that contaminants migrated to
his property,  thereby  diminishing  its value.  In August 1995, the subsidiary,
together with former owners of the manufacturing facility,  agreed to settle the
claim and to  indemnify  the owner of the  adjacent  property  from  remediation
costs.  Although TCE and other contaminants  previously used at the facility are
present  in soil and  groundwater  on the  subsidiary's  property,  the  Company
vigorously  contests  any  assertion  that the  subsidiary  is the  cause of the
contamination;  however,  there  can  be no  assurance  that  recourse  will  be
available  against  third  parties.  State and local  agencies in  Colorado  are
reviewing current data and considering study and cleanup options,  and it is not
yet possible to predict costs for  remediation or the  allocation  thereof among
potentially responsible parties.

Introduction

       Microsemi  Corporation is a  multinational  supplier of high  reliability
power  semiconductors,  surface  mount  and  custom  diode  assemblies  for  the
electronics,   computer,   telecommunications,   defense/aerospace  and  medical
markets. The Company's  semiconductor  products include diodes,  transistors and
silicon  controlled  rectifiers  (SCR's)  which  can be  used in  virtually  all
electrical  and  electronic  circuits.  Typical  functions  include  solid state
switching, signal processing,  voltage and power regulation,  circuit protection
and absorption of electrical surges and transient  voltage spikes.  Technologies
for these devices range from the very mature mesa rectifier  diodes,  still used
in  all  power  supply  applications,  to  the  newly  designed  micro-miniature
transient  absorbers,  which are  mounted  within  the  cables  used to  connect
computer and telecommunications equipment.








Capital Resources and Liquidity

       Microsemi Corporations operations in the first nine months of fiscal year
1996  were  funded  with  internally  generated  funds and  borrowings  from the
Company's  line of credit.  Under the  current  line of credit,  the Company can
borrow up to $20,000,000  based upon percentages of certain accounts  receivable
and inventory  balances at certain of the Company's  operations.  As of June 30,
1996,  $4,536,000 was borrowed under this credit facility. At June 30, 1996, the
Company had $3,189,000 in cash and cash equivalents.

       A letter of credit for the  Microsemi  Santa Ana  Industrial  Development
Revenue  Bond is carried by a bank in the amount of  $5,557,000.  This letter of
credit guarantees the repayment of a $5,350,000  Industrial  Development Revenue
Bond which was originally  issued in April 1985,  through the City of Santa Ana,
for the  construction of improvements and new facilities at the Santa Ana plant.
The new terms of the Bond  require  principal  payments of  $1,050,000  in 1998;
$100,000  annually from 1999 to 2004 and $3,700,000 in 2005 and carries interest
currently at 6.75% per annum.

       See Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further
discussion of borrowings.

       The Company believes that it can meet its current operating cash and debt
service requirements with internally generated funds together with its available
borrowing capacity.  See "Important Factors Related to Forward-Looking
Statements and Associated Risks."

       The average collection period of accounts  receivable was 51 days for the
first nine months of fiscal year 1996 compared to 54 days for the same period of
fiscal year 1995.

       The average  days sales of products in  inventories  was 147 days for the
first  thirty-nine  weeks  of  fiscal  year  1996  compared  to 155 days for the
corresponding  period of fiscal year 1995. This decrease primarily resulted from
higher sales in the current period.

       The Company has no other significant capital commitments.

       Order backlog at June 30, 1996 increased to $72,000,000  from $57,500,000

Important Factors Related to Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks

       This  Quarterly  Report on Form  10-Q  contains  certain  forward-looking
statements that are based on current  expectations and involve a number of risks
and  uncertainties.  The forward looking  statements  included herein are, among
other items, based on current  assumptions that the Company will be able to meet
its  current  operating  cash  and debt  service  requirements  with  internally
generated  funds  and  its  available  line of  credit,  that it will be able to
successfully  resolve disputes and other business  matters as anticipated,  that
competitive conditions within the semiconductor,  surface mount and custom diode
assembly  industries will not change  materially or adversely,  that the Company
will retain existing key personnel, that the Company's forecasts will reasonably
anticipate market demand for its products,  and that there will be no materially
adverse change in the Company's operations or business.  Assumptions relating to
the foregoing  involve  judgements that are difficult to predict  accurately and
are subject to many factors that can materially affect results.  Forecasting and
other management  decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible
to  interpretations  and  periodic  revisions  based on  actual  experience  and
business  developments,  the impact of which may cause the  Company to alter its
forecasts,  which may in turn  affect  the  Company's  results.  In light of the
factors that can  materially  affect the  forward-looking  information  included
herein,  the  inclusion  of  such  information  should  not  be  regarded  as  a
representation  by the Company or any other person that the  objectives or plans
of the Company will be achieved.







       The  information  under  the  headings  "Foreign  Operations",  "Sales to
Foreign  Customers",  "Order Backlog",  "Competition",  "Changes in Technology",
"Proprietary  Rights",  "Manufacturing  Risks",  "Dependence on Key  Personnel",
"Possible  Volatility of Stock Prices",  "Product  Liability" and "Environmental
Regulations"  on pages 4 to 8 in the  Company's  Form 10-K for the  fiscal  year
ended October 1, 1995,  is  incorporated  herein by this  reference and attached
hereto as exhibit 99.1.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE
THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JULY 2, 1995.

       Net sales for the third  quarter  of fiscal  year 1996  increased  14% to
$41,261,000,  from  $36,138,000  for the same  period of fiscal  year 1995.  The
increase of  $5,123,000  was  primarily  due to a higher  volume of shipments in
commercial, telecommunication, medical and commercial space products.

       Gross profit increased  $1,402,000 to $11,004,000 for the current quarter
of fiscal year 1996 from $9,602,000 for the same period of fiscal year 1995 as a
result of higher sales.

       Operating  expenses for the thirteen  weeks ended June 30, 1996 increased
$732,000,  compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due
to additional support required for the higher sales volume.

       The  effective  tax rates of 41% and 40% in the third  quarters of fiscal
years 1996 and 1995, respectively,  are the combined result of taxes computed on
foreign and domestic income.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THIRTY-NINE  WEEKS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO
THE THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED JULY 2, 1995.

       Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal year 1996  increased 20% to
$115,667,000,  from  $96,236,000  for the same period of fiscal  year 1995.  The
increase of  $19,431,000  was  primarily  due to a higher volume of shipments in
commercial, telecommunication, medical and commercial space products.

       Gross  profit  increased  $5,796,000  to  $30,516,000  for the first nine
months of fiscal year 1996 from  $24,720,000  for the same period of fiscal year
1995 as a result  of higher  sales.  As a  percentage  of  sales,  gross  profit
increased slightly from 25.7% to 26.4% for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal
years 1995 and 1996, respectively, primarily as a result of increased absorption
of fixed overhead due to the higher sales volume.

       Operating  expenses  for  the  thirty-nine  weeks  ended  June  30,  1996
increased  $3,015,000,  compared to the corresponding  period of the prior year,
primarily  due to  additional  support  required  for the higher  sales  volume;
however,  operating  expense,  as a  percentage  of sales,  remained  relatively
consistent at approximately 15% of sales for both periods.

       The effective tax rates of 42% and 39% in the first nine months of fiscal
years 1996 and 1995, respectively,  are the combined result of taxes computed on
foreign and domestic income.
