Microsemi still was almost exclusively a defense business in 1987, but by then sales were close to $50 million.

When the acquisitions began straining profitability, Frey didn't waste a lot of time admitting his mistake. In 1989, Microsemi began selling them off. Sales, which hit a then-high of $104 million in 1989, fell to $83 million by 1991.
