Item 1.	Financial  Statements

The interim financial statements are unaudited; however, the company
believes that all adjustments necessary to a fair statement of results for such
interim periods have been included.  The results for the three months ended
April 1, 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
        first 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.

Item 2.	Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
   of Operations

Financial Condition:  The company's financial condition continued to be healthy.
Cash and equivalents decreased $9.8 million from $45,040 million to $35,252
million mostly due to stock repurchases and increased working capital needs.
For the balance of 1994, the company expects its operations to generate
sufficient cash to fund its anticipated growth, product development, and stock
repurchase program.  In addition, the company has the ability to augment its
cash needs with readily available external financing.

Stock Repurchase:  During the first quarter, the company repurchased more than
500,000 shares of stock and completed  the 1.5-million-share repurchase program
approved by the board of directors in 1987 and amended in 1990.  On April 4,
1994, the board authorized the repurchase of up to one million additional shares
of the company's common stock.

Current Operations:  Orders, especially for semiconductor-production equipment,
are exceeding expectations.  The Semiconductor Equipment Group is increasing
manufacturing capacity to keep pace with demand for new 8-inch wafer processing
systems.  The group also initiated R&D in advanced high-density plasma for
late-1990s deposition requirements.  The company anticipates that revenue from
chemical-vapor-deposition systems will grow by 50% again in 1994.  The
Electronics Group is achieving planned performance.  Watkins-Johnson and two
partners were awarded an $11 million Advanced Research Projects Agency contract
under the federal Technology Reinvestment Project.

First Quarter 1994 Compared to First Quarter 1993:  Electronics sales were up 5%
while semiconductor-equipment sales jumped more than 80% from the 1993 levels
resulting in the overall company sales increase of approximately 21%. Gross
margin increased to 36.5% from prior year's quarter mostly due to improved
profitability in Electronics Group and higher volume in the Semiconductor
Equipment Group.  Selling and administrative expenses increased 11% and within
planned levels.  Research and development expenses increased as expected and
included certain nonrecurring charges associated with the company's initiative
in advancing high-density plasma technology.  Estimated effective tax rate
increased slightly to 32% as a result of the 1993 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act.  Due to the above factors, first quarter 1994 net income jumped more than
160% compared to the same period in 1993.
