Net Income per Share: Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed as net
income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could
occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and
other convertible securities.  A reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of basic and diluted earnings per share is provided as follows
(in thousands, except per share amounts).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ("SFAS No. 133"), "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes
new standards of accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and
hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivatives be recognized
at fair value in the statement of financial position and that the
corresponding gains or losses be reported either in the statement of
operations or as a component of comprehensive income, depending on the type
of hedging relationship that exists. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. Earlier application is allowed as of
the beginning of any quarter beginning after issuance. The Company does not
anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 133 will have a material impact on its
financial position or results of operations.

In March 2000, The Financial Accounting Standards Board  ("FASB") issued
FIN No. 44 "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation
an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25".  This interpretation has
provisions that are effective on staggered dates, some of which began after
December 15, 1998 and others that become effective after June 30, 2000.  The
adoption of this interpretation did not, and is not expected to have a
material impact on the financial statements.

In December, 1999, SAB 101 was issued which summarizes the SEC's views in
applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in
financial statements. In June, 2000 SAB 101B was issued to delay the
implementation of SAB 101 until the fourth quarter of fiscal year. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact SAB 101 will have on its
financial position and results of operations.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements This 10-Q includes
forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are not
historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates, and
projections about our industry, our beliefs, our assumptions, and our goals
and objectives.  Words such as "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "plans",
"believes", "seeks", and "estimates ", and variations of these words and
similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
An example of such a statement in this 10-Q is that the Company anticipates
available funds and expected cash generated from operations to be sufficient
to meet cash and working capital requirements through at least the next
twelve months. These statements are only predictions, are not guarantees of
future performance, and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other
factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict,
and could cause actual results to differ materially form those expressed or
forecasted in the forward-looking statements.  These risks and uncertainties
include those described in "Risk Factors" under Item 7, "Management's'
Discussion and Analysis of Financial

Condition and Results of Operation" in our Annual Report of Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000. Except as required by law, we
undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as
a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Results of Operations

Net Sales  Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 were $22,303,000,
a 37% increase compared to $16,297,000 of the same quarter last year. The
increase in sales for the comparative three-month period is primarily due
to increased sales in the core products, consisting of proprietary products
for the telecommunication, imaging and medical electronics industries.

Approximately 39% of the Company's net sales for first fiscal quarter were
derived from international customers as compared to 35% for the same period
in the prior year.  The increase in percentage of international sales is
primarily due to the increase in our non-foundry core business. All of the
Company's international sales were denominated in U.S.dollars.

Gross Profit  As a percent of sales, the Company's gross margin for the
three- month period ended June 30, 2000 was 40%, compared with 34% for the
same period of the prior year. The improvement in gross margin is primarily
due to economies of scale in the fab operations.

Research and Development  Research and development expenses decreased 14%
to $2,430,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $2,835,000
for the same quarter of the prior year.  The decrease is primarily due to a
non-recurring payment made in the same period last fiscal year of $1,350,000
to Orbit Semiconductor, Inc. under a process development agreement for
assisting Supertex to accelerate the process transfer to the new fab.

Selling, General and Administrative  Expenses for selling, general and
administrative were $2,280,000 or 10% of net sales for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 as compared with $1,492,000 or 9% of net sales in the same
quarter of the prior year.  The dollar increases in selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months were primarily due to increase
in data processing software expenses and bad debt reserve corresponding to
higher net sales.

Interest and Other Income Interest and other income, net for the three-month
period ended June 30, 2000 was $491,000 as compared to $367,000 for the same
period of the prior year.  The increase is primarily due to increased cash
available for investments.

Provision for Income Taxes  The Company's effective tax rate for the
three-month ended June 30, 2000 was  34% compared to 33%  for the same
period of the prior year.

Overview  Total assets increased  to $92,625,000 as of June 30, 2000, up
from $86,623,000 at  the end of last fiscal year ended March 31, 2000.  The
increase is due to favorable operating results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources  On June 30, 2000, the Company had
$34,735,000 in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, compared
with $34,176,000 on March 31, 2000.  Cash flow from operating activities was
$3,395,000 consisting principally of net income of $3,099,000.  During the
three-month period, $2,271,000 was used to purchase equipment and $1,000,000
was used for the purchase of Preferred A stock of LightConnect, an optical
MEMS startup.  Cash was also generated from stock option exercises of
$435,000.  The Company anticipates that available funds and expected cash to
be generated from operations will be sufficient to meet cash and working
capital requirements through at least the next twelve months.
