ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

        The interim financial statements are unaudited; however, Watkins-Johnson
        Company believes that all adjustments necessary to a fair statement of
        results for such interim periods have been included and all such
        adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the nine
        months ended September 30, 1994, are not necessarily indicative of the
        results for the full year 1994.

        Supplementary information to the financial statements:

              A dividend of twelve cents per share was declared and paid during
              the third quarter of 1994 and 1993.

              Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average
              number of common and common equivalent shares (dilutive stock
              options) outstanding during the period. The difference between
              fully diluted earnings per share and primary earnings per share is
              not significant, see Exhibit 11.

        The consolidated financial statements required by Rule 10-01 of
        Regulation S-X are included in this report beginning on the next page.

                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

            FINANCIAL CONDITION: The company continues to be in excellent
            financial condition. Cash and equivalents decreased $10.6 million
            from $45.0 to $34.4 million mostly due to cash used for stock
            repurchases exceeding cash generated by stock issuances from stock
            option exercises and increased working capital requirements. For the
            fourth quarter of 1994, the company expects sufficient cash will be
            generated internally to fund its operations. In addition the company
            has the ability to augment its cash needs with readily available
            external financing.
           
            At the end of the third quarter the company had no material
            commitments or planned investments which would require external
            financing. Pending divestitures described below are not expected to
            have any material adverse impact on the company's financial
            condition and are anticipated to generate net positive cash flow.

            CURRENT OPERATIONS: The excellent performance of the Semiconductor
            Equipment Group strengthened further in the third quarter. The
            group's total business in 1994 is expected to exceed 1993's level by
            more than 60 percent. In contrast, the Electronics Group is facing
            strong competition in a weak defense market. To offset that
            weakness, the group is consolidating its Northern California
            operations at the company's Palo Alto plant. In the commercial
            arena, the Electronics Group won contracts for cellular base-station
            transceivers and is pursuing a number of related equipment
            opportunities. W-J is offering the San Jose plant for sale and plans
            to divest its hydrogeology subsidiary--W-J Environmental, Inc.--to
            focus its resources on business areas which hold the greatest
            promise for the total company.

            BACKLOG: The firm order backlog on September 30, 1994 was
            $230,290,000, compared to the $228,917,000 recorded on October 1,
            1993. The portion of the current backlog shippable within twelve
            months is 87 percent, compared to 81 percent one year ago.

            THIRD QUARTER 1994 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 1993: Sales in the
            semiconductor equipment segment increased 80% and more than offset
            the decline in the electronics segment resulting in an overall
            company increase of 16%. The favorable shift towards more profitable
            semiconductor-equipment products helped to improve the company's
            margin to above 40% despite consolidation charges incurred in the
            Electronics Group. Selling and administrative expenses increased in
            line with volume except for higher international sales commissions.
            Research and development expenditures were expectedly higher than
            last year due to efforts in the advancing high-density plasma
            technology. The combination of the above factors resulted in the
            increase in net income of more than 50%.

            THIRD QUARTER YEAR-TO-DATE 1994 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER
            YEAR-TO-DATE 1993: Sales recorded by the Semiconductor Equipment
            Group more than doubled last year's amount and was the primary
            reason the company's overall sales grew 22%. Margins pushed above
            40% mostly due to the product mix favorably shifted towards higher
            margin semiconductor-equipment sales. Selling and administration
            expenses continued to grow faster than revenues because of high
            commissions and high volume for the international sales of
            semiconductor equipment. To improve customer service and control
            international commission expenses in the future the company has
            established foreign subsidiaries in Japan, Taiwan and Singapore in
            addition to Korea, which was established last year. The offices will
            operate in parallel with the current distributors for a transitional
            period. The company allowed a higher rate for research and
            development expenditures because of higher revenues from
            semiconductor equipment group and the opportunity to meet certain
            milestones for the high-density plasma initiative. The combined
            effect of the above factors resulted in the company's net income to
            increase 100% over the prior year's amount.
