of the Proxy, the Proxy must be completed, signed and dated by you or your
authorized representative. The completed Proxy may be returned in the
postage-paid envelope provided, or by facsimile to the Inspector of Elections at
(805) 374-1255. C.H. Chen and Carl C. Wertz, the designated proxyholders (the
"Proxyholders"), are members of the Company's management. If you hold Common
Stock in "street name," you must either instruct your broker or nominee as to
how to vote such shares or obtain a proxy, executed in your favor by your broker
or nominee, to be able to vote at the Meeting.

If a Proxy is properly signed, dated and returned and is not
revoked, the Proxy will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the
Stockholder's instructions indicated on the Proxy. If no instructions are
indicated on the Proxy, the Proxy will be voted "FOR" the election of the Board
of Directors' nominees, "FOR" the appointment of Moss Adams LLP as our
independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004 and in
accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors as to any other
matter that may properly be brought before the Meeting or any continuation,
adjournment or postponement thereof.

REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES

Any Stockholder giving a Proxy has the power to revoke it at
any time before it is exercised. A Stockholder may revoke a proxy by filing an
instrument of revocation, or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, with
the Company's Secretary at our principal executive offices located at 3050 East
Hillcrest Drive, Westlake Village, California 91362 prior to the commencement of
the Meeting. A Stockholder may also revoke the Proxy by attending the Meeting
and voting in person. Stockholders whose shares are held in "street name" should
consult with their broker or nominee concerning the method for revoking their
Proxy.

OUTSTANDING SECURITIES AND VOTING RIGHTS; REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES

The authorized capital of the Company consists of (i)
30,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.66-2/3 per share ("Common
Stock"), of which 13,202,701 shares were issued and outstanding on the Record
Date (with an additional 1,613,508 shares held as treasury stock) and (ii)
1,000,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value ("Class A Preferred
Stock"), none of which were issued and outstanding on the Record Date. The
Common Stock and the Class A Preferred Stock are collectively referred to as the
"Stock."

A majority of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock
constitutes a quorum for the conduct of business at the Meeting. Votes withheld,
abstentions and "broker non-votes" (as defined below) will be counted for the
purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

Each Stockholder is entitled to one vote, in person or by
proxy, for each share of Common Stock standing in his or her name on the books
of the Company as of the Record Date on any matter submitted to the
Stockholders, except that in connection with the election of directors, each
Stockholder has the right to cumulate votes, provided that the candidates' names
have been properly placed in nomination prior to commencement of voting and a
Stockholder has given notice prior to commencement of voting of his or her
intention to cumulate votes. If a Stockholder has given such notice, all
Stockholders may cumulate their votes for all nominated candidates. Cumulative
voting entitles a Stockholder to give one candidate a number of votes equal to
the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of shares of
Common Stock owned by such Stockholder, or to distribute such Stockholder's
votes on the same principle among as many candidates as the Stockholder shall
think fit. The candidates receiving the highest number of votes, up to the
number of directors to be elected, shall be elected. Discretionary authority to
cumulate votes is hereby solicited by the Board of Directors and the return of
the Proxy shall grant such authority.

Brokers holding Common Stock in "street name" who are members
of a stock exchange are required by the rules of the exchange to transmit this
Proxy Statement to the beneficial owner of the Common Stock and to solicit
voting instructions with respect to the matters submitted to the Stockholders.
In the event any such broker has not received instructions from the beneficial
owner by the date specified in the statement accompanying such material, the
broker may give or authorize the giving of a Proxy to vote such Common Stock in
his discretion as to the election of directors or the appointment of independent
auditors. However, brokers or nominees do not have discretion to vote on certain
other proposals without specific instructions from the beneficial owner. When a
broker or nominee votes a client's shares on some but not all proposals, the
missing votes are referred to as "broker non-votes." If you hold Common Stock in
"street name" and you fail to instruct your broker or nominee as to how to vote
such Common Stock, your broker or nominee may, in its discretion, vote such
Common Stock "FOR" the election of the Board of Director's nominees and "FOR"
the appointment of Moss Adams LLP as the Company's independent auditors.

Each proposal described herein, other than the election of
directors, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common
Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the
Meeting. Abstentions on any proposal submitted to the Stockholders, other than
the election of directors, will be included in the number of votes cast on such
proposal and, accordingly, will have the effect of a vote "AGAINST" such
proposal. However, broker non-votes with respect to a proposal will not be
included in the number of shares counted as being present for the purposes of
voting on such proposed and, accordingly, will have the effect of reducing the
number of votes required to approve the proposal.

Of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date,
4,601,458 (or approximately 34.9%) (the "Shares") were held in the name of
Lite-On Semiconductor Corporation ("LSC"), formerly named Lite-On Power
Semiconductor ("LPSC"). See "General Information - Security Ownership of Certain
Beneficial Owners and Management" and "Proposal One - Election of Directors -
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" for a discussion of the
relationship between LPSC, LSC and the Company. An additional 96,318 shares (or
approximately

0.7%) were owned by directors and executive officers of the
Company on the Record Date. LSC and each director and executive officer has
informed the Company that they will vote "FOR" the election of the nominees to
the Board of Directors identified herein, and "FOR" the appointment of Moss
Adams LLP as the Company's independent auditors.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Proxy solicitation is made by the Board of Directors of
the Company, and the Company will bear the costs of this solicitation, including

and any other material used in this solicitation of Proxies. This solicitation

PROPOSAL ONE - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The Company's Bylaws provide that the number of directors
shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, but may not be
less than five nor more than seventeen. Currently, the Board of Directors has

election of each director at each annual meeting of stockholders.

The persons named below have been nominated for election to

and until their successors have been elected and qualified. All nominees have
indicated their willingness to serve and, unless otherwise instructed, Proxies
will be voted in such a way as to elect as many of these nominees as possible
under applicable voting rules. In the event that any of the nominees should be
unable to serve as a director, it is intended that the Proxies will be voted for
the election of such substitute nominees, if any, as shall be designated by the

AUDIT COMMITTEE. The Audit Committee makes recommendations to
the Board of Directors regarding the engagement of the Company's independent
auditors, reviews the plan, scope and results of the audit, reviews with
management the Company's policies and procedures with respect to internal
accounting and financial controls and reviews changes in accounting policy and
the scope of the non-audit services which may be performed by the Company's
independent auditors. The Audit Committee also monitors policies to prohibit
unethical, questionable or illegal activities by the Company's employees.

The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the
Audit Committee is "independent" as that term is defined under the rules of
Nasdaq and the SEC, and that Mr. Giordano qualifies as an "audit committee
financial expert" as defined under the rules of the SEC.

On April 8, 2004, the Audit Committee recommended, and the
Board of Directors adopted, a revised charter for the committee, a copy of which
is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit A.

COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTIONS COMMITTEE. The Compensation and Stock
Options Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding
compensation, benefits and incentive arrangements for the Chief Executive
Officer and other officers and key employees of the Company. The Compensation
and Stock Options Committee also administers the Company's 1993 Incentive Stock
Option Plan ("1993 ISO Plan"), the 1993 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan ("1993
NQO Plan"), the Incentive Bonus Stock Plan, the Company's 401(k) profit sharing
plan (the "401(k) Plan"), and the 2001 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan.

The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the
Compensation and Stock Options Committee is "independent" as that term is
defined under the rules of Nasdaq.

STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE. The Strategic Planning Committee
focuses on new product development, marketing, and research and development
operations of the Company.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE. On April 8, 2004, the Board of Directors
established the Nominating Committee. The Board of Directors has determined that
each member of the committee is "independent" as that term is defined under the
rules of Nasdaq.

The principal purposes of the Nominating Committee are to help
ensure that the Board (i) identifies individuals qualified to become members of
the Board of Directors, consistent with criteria approved by the Board of
Directors, and (ii) selects the director nominees for the next annual meeting of
stockholders.

On April 8, 2004, the Nominating Committee recommended, and
the Board of Directors adopted, a charter for the committee, a copy of which is
attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit B.

MEETINGS OF THE BOARD AND COMMITTEES

The Board of Directors held three meetings during 2003. The
Compensation and Stock Options Committee held two meetings, the Audit Committee
held eight meetings, and the Strategic Planning Committee held one meeting
during 2003. All of the persons who were directors of the Company or members of
committees were present for at least 75% of the meetings during 2003.

NOMINATING PROCEDURES AND CRITERIA

Among its functions, the Nominating Committee considers and
approves nominees for election to the Board of Directors. In addition to the
candidates proposed by the Board of Directors or identified by the committee,
the committee considers candidates for director suggested by stockholders.
Stockholder nominations that meet the criteria outlined below will receive the
same consideration that the committee's nominees receive.

Essential criteria for all candidates considered by the
Nominating Committee include the following: integrity and ethical behavior,
maturity, management experience and expertise, independence and diversity of
thought and broad business or professional experience, with an understanding of
business and financial affairs and the complexities of business organizations.

In evaluating candidates for certain Board positions, the
committee evaluates additional criteria, including the following: financial or
accounting expertise; experience in the semiconductor industry or other
technology industries; scientific accomplishment; experience in commercializing
and marketing semiconductors or other electronic components; business and other
experience relevant to public companies of a size comparable to the Company; and
experience in investment banking, commercial lending or other financing
activities.

In selecting nominees for the Board of Directors, the
committee evaluates the general and specialized criteria set forth above,
identifying the relevant specialized criteria prior to commencement of the
recruitment process, considers previous performance if the candidate is
candidate for re-election, and generally considers the candidate's ability to
contribute to the success of he Company.

The Board of Director's nominees for the Meeting have been
recommended by the Nominating Committee, as well as the full Board of Directors.

Stockholders did not propose any candidates for election at
the Meeting.

Increase in market value of the Company's Common Stock for ALL STOCKHOLDERS 5% (to $21.24/share) 10% (to $33.82/share)
at assumed annual rates of stock price appreciation (as used in the table -------------------- ---------------------
above) from $13.04 per share, over the ten-year period, based upon 13,013,776 $ 106,723,187 $ 270,457,510
shares outstanding on December 31, 2003
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------

(1) The Potential Realizable Value is the product of (a) the difference
between (i) the product of the closing sale price per share at the date
of grant and the sum of (A) 1 plus (B) the assumed rate of appreciation
of the market price of the Common Stock, compounded annually over the
term of the option and (ii) the per share exercise price of the option
and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the option at
December 31, 2003. These amounts represent certain assumed rates of
appreciation only. For example, an $13.04 per share price with a 5%
annual growth rate for 10 years results in a stock price of $21.24 per
share and a 10% growth rate results in a price of $33.82 per share.
Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises are dependent upon a
variety of factors, including market conditions and the price
performance of the Common Stock. No assurance can be made that the rate
of appreciation presented in this table can be achieved.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLANS

1993 ISO PLAN

The 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1993 ISO Plan")
provides for the grant of incentive stock options within the meaning of Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to purchase
up to 2,250,000 shares (split adjusted) of the Company's Common Stock. Options
granted under the 1993 ISO Plan are not transferable, except by will or the laws
of descent or distribution. A vested but unexercised option is normally
exercisable for 90 days after termination of employment, other than by death or
retirement. In the event of death, unvested options are accelerated to maturity.
An option granted under the 1993 ISO Plan may not be priced at less than 100% of
fair market value on the date of grant and expires ten years from the date of
grant. As of the Record Date, 1,122,733 shares have been issued on the exercise
of options granted and 1,112,575 shares were subject to outstanding options
under the 1993 ISO Plan. The 1993 ISO Plan expired on May 10, 2003, therefore
and, no additional options can be granted.

1993 NQO PLAN

The 1993 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "1993 NQO Plan")
became effective on July 6, 1993. The 1993 NQO Plan provides for the grant of
options that do not qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the
Code to purchase up to 2,250,000 shares (split adjusted) of the Company's Common
Stock. The options may be exercised by the optionee during his or her lifetime
or after his or her death by those who have inherited by will or intestacy. A
vested but unexercised option is normally exercisable for 90 days after
termination of employment, other than by death or retirement. In the event of
death, unvested options are accelerated to maturity. The shares to be issued
upon exercise of options under the 1993 NQO Plan require a three-year vesting
period. An option granted under the 1993 NQO Plan may not be priced at less than
100% of fair market value on the date of grant and expires ten years from the
date of grant. As of the Record Date, 1,114,000 shares have been issued on the
exercise of options granted and 1,117,250 shares were subject to outstanding
options under the 1993 NQO Plan. The 1993 NQO Plan expired on May 10, 2003, and
therefore no additional options can be granted.

2001 OMNIBUS EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

GENERAL. In April 2001, the 2001 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
(the "2001 Incentive Plan") became effective. Under the 2001 Incentive Plan,
employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company and its
subsidiaries are eligible to receive shares of Common Stock of the Company or
other securities or benefits with a value derived from the value of the Common
Stock of the Company. The purpose of the 2001 Incentive Plan is to enable the
Company to attract, retain and motivate employees, non-employee directors and
consultants by providing for or increasing their proprietary interests in the
Company and, thereby, further align their interests with those of the Company's
stockholders.

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be
issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2001 Incentive Plan may not exceed
the sum of (i) 1,500,000 shares (split adjusted) and (ii) on each January 1, an
additional number of shares equal to 1% of the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31; provided, however,
that the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to
incentive stock options under the 2001 Incentive Plan may not exceed 3,000,000
shares (split adjusted).

As of the Record Date, 16,750 shares have been issued on the
exercise of options granted, 976,550 shares were subject to outstanding options,
and 930,779 shares were available for issuance upon the grant of options under
the 2001 Incentive Plan.

ADMINISTRATION. The 2001 Incentive Plan is administered by the
Compensation and Stock Options Committee of the Board of Directors (the
"Committee"). Subject to the provisions of the 2001 Incentive Plan, the
Committee has a wide degree of flexibility in determining the terms and
conditions of awards and the number of shares to be issued pursuant thereto,
including conditioning the receipt or vesting of awards upon the achievement by
the Company of specified performance criteria. The expenses of administering the
2001 Incentive Plan are borne by the Company.

TERMS OF AWARDS. The 2001 Incentive Plan authorizes the
Committee to enter into any type of arrangement with an eligible recipient that,
by its terms, involves or might involve the issuance of Common Stock or any
other security or benefit with a value derived from the value of Common Stock.
Awards are not restricted to any specified form or structure and may include,
without limitation, sales or bonuses of stock, restricted stock, stock options,
reload options, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock, dividend equivalents,
performance units or performance shares. An award may consist of one such
security or benefit or two or more of them in tandem or in the alternative.

An award granted under the 2001 Incentive Plan may include a
provision accelerating the receipt of benefits upon the occurrence of specified
events, such as a change of control of the Company or a dissolution,
liquidation, merger, reclassification, sale of substantially all of the property
and assets of the Company or other significant corporate transactions. The
Committee may grant options that either are intended to be "incentive stock
options" as defined under Section 422 of the Code, or are not intended to be
incentive options ("non-qualified stock options"). Incentive stock options may
be granted only to employees.

No incentive stock option may be granted under the 2001
Incentive Plan to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns (or is deemed
to own) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the
Company or any affiliate of the Company, unless the option exercise price is at
least 110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the
date of the grant and the term of the option does not exceed five years from the
date of the grant. In addition, the aggregate fair market value, determined at
the time of the grant, of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which
incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during
any calendar year (under all such plans of the Company and its subsidiaries) may
not exceed $100,000. As a result of enactment of Section 162(m) of the Code, and
to provide the Committee flexibility in structuring awards, the 2001 Incentive
Plan states that in the case of stock options and stock appreciation rights, no
person may receive in any year a stock option to purchase more than 100,000
shares or a stock appreciation right measured by more than 100,000 shares.

If awards granted under the 2001 Incentive Plan expire, are
canceled or otherwise terminate without being exercised, the Common Stock not
purchased pursuant to the award again becomes available for issuance under the
2001 Incentive Plan. Awards may not be granted under the 2001 Incentive Plan on
or after the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the 2001 Incentive Plan.

PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. An award may permit the recipient
to pay all or part of the purchase price of the shares or other property
issuable pursuant thereto, or to pay all or part of such recipient's tax
withholding obligation with respect to such issuance, by (i) delivering
previously owned shares of capital stock of the Company or other property or
(ii) reducing the amount of shares or other property otherwise issuable pursuant
to the award or (iii) delivering a promissory note, the terms and conditions of
which will be determined by the Committee. The exercise price and any
withholding taxes are payable in cash by consultants and non-employee directors,
although the Committee at its discretion may permit such payment by delivery of
shares of Common Stock, or by delivery of broker instructions authorizing a loan
secured by the shares acquired upon exercise or payment of proceeds from the
sale of such shares.

AMENDMENT. Subject to limitations imposed by law, the Board
may amend or terminate the 2001 Incentive Plan at any time and in any manner.
However, no such amendment or termination may deprive the recipient of any award
previously granted under the 2001 Incentive Plan or any rights thereunder
without the recipient's consent.

SECTION 16(B). Pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act,
directors, certain officers and ten percent shareholders of the Company are
generally liable to the Company for repayment of any "short-swing" profits
realized from any non-exempt purchase and sale of Common Stock occurring within
a six-month period. Rule 16b-3, promulgated under the Exchange Act, provides an
exemption from Section 16(b) liability for certain transactions by an officer or
director pursuant to an employee benefit plan that complies with such Rule.
Specifically, the grant of an option under an employee benefit plan that
complies with Rule 16b-3 will not be deemed a purchase of a security for
purposes of Section 16(b). The 2001 Incentive Plan is designed to comply with
Rule 16b-3.

TERM. Awards may not be granted under the 2001 Incentive Plan
on or after the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the 2001 Incentive Plan.
Although any award that was duly granted on or prior to such date may thereafter
be exercised or settled in accordance with its terms, no shares of Common Stock
may be issued pursuant to any award on or after the twentieth anniversary of the
adoption of the 2001 Incentive Plan.

PERFORMANCE GOALS. The business criteria on which performance
goals are based under the 2001 Incentive Plan will be determined on a
case-by-case basis, except that with respect to stock options and stock
appreciation rights compensation is based on increases in the value of the
Common Stock after the date of grant of award. Similarly, the maximum amount of
compensation that could be paid to any participant or the formula used to
calculate the amount of compensation to be paid to the participant if a
performance goal is obtained will be determined on a case-by-case basis, except
that in the case of stock options the maximum possible compensation will be
calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the option and the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of option exercise, times the
maximum number of shares for which grants may be made to any participant.

ADJUSTMENTS. If there is any change in the stock subject to
the 2001 Incentive Plan or subject to any award made under the 2001 Incentive
Plan (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, re-capitalization, stock
dividend, dividend in kind, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination or
exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or otherwise), the 2001
Incentive Plan and shares outstanding thereunder will be appropriately adjusted
as to the class and the maximum number of shares subject to the 2001 Incentive
Plan and the class, number of shares and price per share of stock subject to
such outstanding options as determined by the Committee to be fair and equitable
to

the holders, the Company and the shareholders. In addition, the Committee may
also make adjustments in the number of shares covered by, and the price or other
value of any outstanding awards under the 2001 Incentive Plan in the event of a
spin-off or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company
assets to stockholders.

INCENTIVE BONUS STOCK PLAN

The Company's Incentive Bonus Stock Plan provides that the
Board of Directors may fix a dollar value to an employee bonus and determine to
pay such bonus in the form of shares of the Common Stock of the Company. The
number of shares to be awarded to the employee is determined by dividing the
dollar amount of the bonus by the fair market value of one share of Common
Stock. The Board of Directors may also elect to grant a number of shares of
Common Stock to the employee. As of the Record Date, 279,000 were available for
issuance under the Incentive Bonus Stock Plan.

401(K) PLAN

The Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan ("401(k)
Plan") for the benefit of qualified employees in North America. Employees who
participate may elect to make salary deferral contributions to the 401(k) Plan
up to 100% of the employees' eligible payroll, subject to annual Internal
Revenue Code maximum limitations. The Company makes a contribution of $1 for
every $2 contributed by the participant, up to 6% of the participant's eligible
payroll. In addition, the Company may make a discretionary contribution to the
entire qualified employee pool, in accordance with the 401(k) Plan.

The Company also maintains retirement plans pursuant to Taiwan
Labor Standard Law and Factory Law, as well as China Municipal Government
regulations.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTIONS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
TO STOCKHOLDERS

The Report of the Compensation and Stock Options Committee of

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTIONS COMMITTEE

GENERAL

The Compensation and Stock Options Committee (the "Committee")
consists of three directors, Michael R. Giordano (Chairman), John M. Stich and
Dr. Keh-Shew Lu. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the
Committee is "independent" as that term is defined under the rules of Nasdaq.
The Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding
compensation, benefits and incentive arrangements for officers and other key
employees of the Company. The Committee also administers the Company's 1993 ISO
Plan, the 1993 NQO Plan, the 2001 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, the Incentive
Bonus Stock Plan and the 401(k) Plan.

The Company's policy in compensating executive officers is to
establish methods and levels of compensation that will provide strong incentives
to promote the profitability and growth of the Company and reward superior
performance. Compensation of executive officers includes base salary,
performance-based incentive bonuses and stock-based programs. The Company's
general approach to compensating executive officers is to pay cash salaries
which are competitive with salaries paid to executives of other companies in the
Company's industry that are of similar size and engaged in a similar line of
business. Salaries are established by the Committee based on the Committee's
subjective assessment of the executive's scope of responsibility, level of
experience, individual performance, and past and potential contribution to the
Company's business.

The Committee believes that the emphasis on performance-based
and stock-based compensation serves to align the interests of the executive
officers with the interests of the Company's stockholders. The Committee also
seeks to establish overall compensation levels that are sufficiently competitive
to attract, retain, and motivate highly competent management personnel. Base
salaries for Messrs. Chen, King, Liu and Wertz are paid in accordance

with subjective criteria set by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company. Performance-based incentive bonuses are paid in accordance with
specific financial performance results against goals established prior to the
start of the calendar year.

COMPENSATION FOR THE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Mr. C.H. Chen was appointed President, Chief Executive
Officer, and a director of the Company on March 30, 2000. Mr. Chen also serves
as the Vice Chairman of LSC, a Lite-On Group company (now listed on the Taiwan
OTC market), for which he is also compensated by LSC. Stock options granted to
Mr. Chen are based upon the Committee's subjective assessment of the performance
of Mr. Chen and the Company.

STOCK OPTIONS

The Committee believes that the interests of senior management must be
closely aligned with those of the Company's stockholders. Stock options are
granted to officers and selected employees whose contributions and skills are
important to the long-term success of the Company. Stock options granted to
executive officers to date have been granted at no less than the fair market
value of the Common Stock as of the date of grant with a ten-year term. If
employment is terminated, the unvested portion of the option expires immediately
and the vested portion of the option expires 90 days from the termination date.
To encourage retention, the ability to exercise options granted under the plans
is subject to vesting restrictions. The Committee's policy is to award an
initial grant at the date of employment, which vests over three years, and is in
recognition of the executive officer's potential contribution to the Company.
The three-year vesting period may be increased or decreased at the Committee's
discretion. Decisions made by the Committee regarding the timing and size of
other option grants take into consideration the Company's and the individual's
performance, competitive market practices, and the size and term of option
grants made in prior years.

The Company's stock option plans have been amended and approved by the
stockholders so stock options that have been awarded can qualify for exclusion
under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as performance-based
compensation.

COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTIONS COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The Compensation and Stock Options Committee consists of three
directors, Michael R. Giordano (Chairman), Dr. Keh-Shew Lu and John M. Stich. No

of its subsidiaries.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO STOCKHOLDERS

The Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement
incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the
Securities Act of 1933 or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to
the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by
reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Board of Directors maintains an Audit Committee comprised of three of
the Company's directors, Michael R. Giordano (Chairman), Dr. Keh-Shew Lu and
John M. Stich. Each member of the Audit Committee meets the independence and
experience requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Mr. Giordano qualifies as an
"audit

committee financial expert" as defined under the rules of the SEC. The
Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in monitoring the accounting,
auditing and financial reporting practices of the Company.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the Company's
financial statements and financial reporting process, including its system of
internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit
Committee:

o Reviewed and discussed with management the audited
financial statements contained in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2003; and

o Obtained from management their representation that the
Company's financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.

The independent auditors are responsible for performing an
audit of the Company's financial statements in accordance with the auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States and expressing an opinion on
whether the Company's financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the Company's financial position and results of operations for the
periods presented and conform with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit
Committee:

o Discussed with the independent auditors the matters
required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing
Standards No. 61, as amended ("Communication with Audit
Committees"); and

o Received and discussed with the independent auditors the
written disclosures and the letter from the independent
auditors required by Independent Standards Board Standard
No. 1 ("Independence Discussions with Audit Committees"),
and reviewed and discussed with the independent auditors
whether the rendering of the non-audit services provided
by them to the Company during fiscal 2003 was compatible
with their independence.

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, which
was adopted by the Board of Directors and is assessed annually for adequacy by
the Audit Committee. On April 8, 2004, the Audit Committee recommended, and the
Board of Directors adopted, an amended charter for the committee, a copy of
which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit A. The Audit Committee held
eight meetings during fiscal 2003.

In performing its functions, the Audit Committee acts only in
an oversight capacity. It is not the responsibility of the Audit Committee to
determine that the Company's financial statements are complete and accurate, are
presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States or present fairly the results of operations of the Company for the
periods presented or that the Company maintains appropriate internal controls.
Nor is it the duty of the Audit Committee to determine that the audit of the
Company's financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards or that the Company's auditors are independent.

Based upon the reviews and discussions described above, and
the report of the independent auditors, the Audit Committee has recommended to
the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors has approved, that the
audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 for filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee also has recommended, and the Board
of Directors also has approved, subject to stockholder ratification, the
selection of Moss Adams LLP as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2004.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Company conducts business with two related party
companies, LSC (and its subsidiaries) and Xing International (and its
subsidiaries). LSC, a 34.9% shareholder, is the Company's largest shareholder,
and Xing International is owned by the Company's 5% joint venture partner in
Diodes-China. C.H. Chen, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer,
and a member of the Company's Board of Directors, is also Vice-Chairman of LSC.
M.K. Lu, a member of the Company's Board of Directors, is President of LSC,
while Raymond Soong, the Company's Chairman of the Board, is the Chairman of The
Lite-On Group, a significant shareholder of LSC.

The Audit Committee reviews all related party transactions for
potential conflict of interest situations, and approves all such transactions,
in accordance with such procedures as it may adopt from time to time. The
Company believes that all related party transactions are on terms no less
favorable to the Company than would be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

In 2003, the Company sold silicon wafers to LSC totaling 10.7%
(13.7% in 2002) of the Company's sales, making LSC the Company's largest
customer. Also for 2003, 17.3% (17.9% in 2002) of the Company's sales were from
discrete semiconductor products purchased from LSC, making LSC the Company's
largest outside vendor. Under a long-standing sales agreement, the Company is
the exclusive North American distributor for certain LSC product lines. In
addition, the Company leases warehouse space from LSC for its operations in Hong
Kong.

In December 2000, the Company acquired a wafer foundry,
FabTech, Inc., from LSC. As part of the purchase price, the Company issued to
LSC a subordinated, interest-bearing note for approximately $13.6 million (the
balance is $6.3 million at December 31, 2003). In May 2002, the Company
renegotiated the terms of the note to extend the payment period from two years
to four years, and, as a result payments of approximately $208,000 plus interest
began in July 2002. In connection with the terms of the acquisition, LSC entered
into a volume purchase agreement to purchase wafers from FabTech. In addition,
in accordance with the terms of the acquisition, the Company has entered into
several management incentive agreements with members of FabTech's management.
The agreements provide several members of FabTech's management guaranteed annual
payments as well as contingent bonuses based on the annual profitability of
FabTech, subject to a maximum annual amount. Any portion of the guaranteed and
contingent liability paid by FabTech is reimbursed by LSC.

In 2003, the Company sold silicon wafers to companies owned by
Xing International totaling 1.1% (1.5% in 2002) of the Company's sales. Also for
2003, 4.6% (5.6% in 2002) of the Company's sales were from discrete
semiconductor products purchased from companies owned by Xing International. In
addition, Diodes-China leases its manufacturing facilities from, subcontracts a
portion of its manufacturing process (metal plating and environmental services)
to, and pays a consulting fee to Xing International.

In October 2002, Silitek and Taiwan Lite-On merged with
Lite-On Technology Corporation, a publicly traded company on the Taiwan Stock
Exchange. Prior to this merger, Silitek was affiliated through common ownership
and control with Taiwan Lite-On, and both companies were members of the Lite-On
Group and publicly traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

Mr. Raymond Soong, who became a director and Chairman of the
Board of the Company effective March 1993, is also the Chairman of the Boards of
The Lite-On Group, Lite-On Technology Corporation, Diodes-China, Diodes-Taiwan
and Diodes-FabTech.

Dr. Shing Mao, who is a director of the Company, retired in
2000 as Chairman of the Board of Lite-On Milpitas, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Taiwan Lite-On which merged with Lite-On Technology Corporation in 2002. Dr. Mao
was also a director of LSC from 1989 to 2000, and since 1996, has been a
director of FabTech.

Mr. M.K. Lu, who has been a director of the Company since
1995, is also President of LSC and acting President of Actron Technology
Corporation, both Lite-On Group companies. From 1983 to 1990, Mr. Lu was General
Manager/Vice President of Silitek. Mr. Lu is also a director of Diodes-China and
Diodes-FabTech.

Mr. Michael Giordano, a director of the Company and Senior
Vice President-Investment Consulting at the investment-banking firm of UBS,
Inc., has, from time to time, assisted directors and executive officers of the
Company in stock option exercises and subsequent stock sales of the Company's
Common Stock. Mr. Giordano is also the pension

consultant for the Company's 401(k) plan. Mr. Giordano has, from time to
time, assisted directors and officers of the Company and LSC in stock
transactions. Compensation received by Mr. Giordano for services rendered to
the Company and LSC for services other than as a director in 2003 was less than
$50,000.

Mr. John M. Stich, a director of the Company, is also
President and CEO of The Asian Network. In 2000 and 2001, Mr. Stich had received
fees as a marketing consultant to the Company. Mr. Stich ceased performing
marketing consulting services for the Company.

Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, a director of the Company, retired as Senior
Vice President of TI and manager of Worldwide Mixed-Signal Products -
Semiconductor Group in 2001. During 2002, Dr. Lu received fees as an engineering
consultant to the Company. Dr. Lu ceased performing engineering consulting
services for the Company. Dr. Lu is also a director of Lite-On Technology
Corporation.

Mr. Mark A. King, the Company's Vice President of Sales and
Marketing, has an approximate $100,000 investment in one of the Company's
computer software vendors (a privately-held company). Mr. King's investment was
made subsequent to the Company's purchase of the software, which is used for
sales quotation and channel management, and was approved by the Board of
Directors. Fees paid to this software vendor in 2003, including annual software
maintenance, were approximately $12,000.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, the Company's
directors, executive officers and any persons holding ten percent or more of the
Common Stock are required to report their ownership of Common Stock and any
changes in that ownership to the SEC and to furnish the Company with copies of
such reports. Specific due dates for these reports have been established and the
Company is required to report any failure to file on a timely basis by such
persons. Based solely upon a review of copies of reports filed with the SEC
during the calendar year ended December 31, 2003, or written representations
that no reports were necessary, all reporting persons filed reports on a timely
basis. To avoid the inadvertent failure of directors and executive officers to
timely file these reports, the Company periodically advises such persons of
their filing obligations.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR"
THE ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS' NOMINEES.

PROPOSAL TWO - RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The firm of Moss Adams LLP, certified accountants, has been
the Company's independent accountants since 1993 and has been selected by the
Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee to serve as its
independent accountants for the calendar year ending December 31, 2004.
Professional services rendered by Moss Adams LLP for 2003 consisted of an audit
of the Company's financial statements, consultation on interim financial
statements, services related to filings with the SEC, meetings with the
Company's Audit Committee and consultation on various matters relating to
accounting and financial reporting. All professional services rendered by Moss
Adams LLP during 2003 were furnished at customary rates and terms.
Representatives of Moss Adams LLP are expected to be present at the Meeting.
They will have the opportunity to make a statement, if they so desire, and
respond to appropriate questions from Stockholders.

AUDIT FEES, TAX FEES, AND ALL OTHER FEES

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, fees
for services provided by Moss Adams LLP were approximately as follows:

DESCRIPTION 2002 (1) 2003
--------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- -------------

AUDIT FEES, including audit of financial statements included in
the Annual Report on Form 10-K and review of financial
statements included in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q $ 128,000 $ 158,000
--------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- -------------
AUDIT-RELATED FEES, including assurance related fees,
accounting consultation and related services $ 25,000 $ 31,000
--------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- -------------
TAX FEES, professional services for income tax return
preparation, tax advice and tax planning $ 51,000 $ 74,000
--------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- -------------
ALL OTHER FEES, not included in above $ 8,000 $ 11,000
--------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- -------------
TOTAL $ 212,000 $ 274,000
--------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- -------------

(1) - Prior year figures conform to current-year presentation

The Audit Committee administers the Company's engagement of
Moss Adams LLP and pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services on
a case-by-case basis. In approving non-audit services, the Audit Committee
considers whether the engagement could compromise the independence of Moss Adams
LLP, and whether for reasons of efficiency or convenience it is in the best
interest of the Company to engage its independent auditor to perform the
services.

Moss Adams LLP has advised the Company that neither the firm,
nor any member of the firm, has any financial interest, direct or indirect, in
any capacity in the Company or its subsidiaries. The Audit Committee, in
reliance on the independent auditors, determined that the provision of these
services is compatible with maintaining the independence of Moss Adams LLP.

Prior to engagement, the Audit Committee pre-approves all
independent auditor services. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee
requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the
budget periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year,
circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent
auditor for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval
categories. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires specific
pre-approval before engaging the independent auditor.

The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one
or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must
report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit
Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

Stockholders are being asked to ratify the appointment of Moss
Adams LLP as the Company's independent public accountants for the year ending
December 31, 2004. Ratification of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of
a majority of the shares of Common Stock present and entitled to vote at the
Meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR"
THE RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS.

PROPOSALS OF STOCKHOLDERS AND STOCKHOLDER NOMINATIONS FOR 2005 ANNUAL MEETING

Under certain circumstances, stockholders are entitled to
present proposals at stockholder meetings. The 2005 annual meeting of
stockholders is presently expected to be held on or about June 3, 2005.

SEC rules provide that any stockholder proposal to be included
in the proxy statement for the Company's 2005 annual meeting must be received by
the Secretary of the Company at the Company's office at 3050 East Hillcrest
Drive, Westlake Village, California 91362 prior to December 31, 2004, in a form
that complies with applicable regulations. If the date of the 2005 annual
meeting is advanced or delayed more than 30 days from the date

of the 2004 annual meeting, stockholder proposals intended to be included in the
proxy statement for the 2005 annual meeting must be received by us within a
reasonable time before the Company begins to print and mail the proxy statement
for the 2005 annual meeting. Upon any determination that the date of the 2005
annual meeting will be advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the date
of the 2004 annual meeting, the Company will disclose the change in the
earliest practicable Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

SEC rules also govern a company's ability to use discretionary
proxy authority with respect to stockholder proposals that were not submitted by
the stockholders in time to be included in the proxy statement. In the event a
stockholder proposal is not submitted to the Company prior to March 15, 2005,
the proxies solicited by the Board of Directors for the 2005 annual meeting of
stockholders will confer authority on the proxyholders to vote the shares in
accordance with their best judgment and discretion if the proposal is presented
at the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders without any discussion of the
proposal in the proxy statement for such meeting.

Stockholders may nominate candidates for the board of
directors at an annual meeting. Stockholders who wish to request that the
Nominating Committee consider a candidate for the 2005 annual meeting should
submit information about the candidate to the Nominating Committee a reasonable
time before the Company begins to print and mail the proxy statement for the
2005 annual meeting. The requesting stockholder should provide sufficient
biographical information about the proposed candidate to satisfy the
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the
proxy statement and to permit the Nominating Committee to evaluate the proposed
candidate in light of the criteria described under the caption "Nominating
Procedures and Criteria." The request should also provide the full name, address
and telephone number of the requesting stockholder and sufficient information to
verify that the requesting shareholder is eligible to vote at the 2005 annual
meeting. Additional information and certifications by the requesting stockholder
and the proposed candidate may be required before the Nominating Committee can
make its evaluation.

The Company's annual report to stockholders for the year ended
December 31, 2003 accompanies or has preceded this Proxy Statement. The annual
