INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Administrative Committee, Watkins-Johnson
  Employees' Profit Sharing Investment Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of
Watkins-Johnson Employees' Profit Sharing Investment Plan (the
"Plan") as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related
statements of changes in net assets for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets of the Plan at December 31,
1993 and 1992, and the changes in its net assets for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The
accompanying supplemental schedules, listed in the foregoing
table of contents, are presented for the purpose of complying
with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.  Theses supplemental schedules are the
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Plan
changed its method of accounting for distributions to
participants in 1992.

                   EMPLOYEES' PROFIT SHARING INVESTMENT PLAN

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

   The  Watkins-Johnson Employees' Profit Sharing Investment Plan  (the  Plan)
   was  created  by Watkins-Johnson Company effective January  1,  1967.   The
   Plan,  amended as of January 1, 1991, conforms to the requirements  of  the
   Employee  Retirement  Income  Security Act  of  1974  (ERISA),  and  is  in
   compliance with the Tax Reform Act of 1986.  The Plan provides for  Company
   contributions  based on profits and voluntary contributions  by  employees.
   In  addition,  on  April 1, 1983, Watkins-Johnson Company  established  the
   Salary  Deferral Plan, known as a 401(k) Plan in reference to the  Internal
   Revenue Code Section 401(k).

   Employees  of  Watkins-Johnson  Company on a  U.S.  payroll  are  generally
   eligible to participate upon one year of service.

   Participant   contributions  are  fully  vested.    Company   contributions
   generally  begin to vest after three years of employee service  and  become
   fully  vested  after  seven years of service or upon retirement,  death  or
   permanent  disability.   In  the event of Plan termination,  the  value  of
   participants' accounts would immediately vest 100%.

   The  Fidelity  Retirement  Government Money  Market  Portfolio  invests  in
   obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by  the  U.S.
   Government,   its   agencies  or  instrumentalities,  and   in   repurchase
   agreements secured by these obligations.

   The  Fixed  Income Fund principally consists of the following deposits  for
   unsecured contracts with a fixed interest rate:

   The  Fidelity Magellan Fund is a growth fund and invests in stock  of  both
   well-known  and  lesser-known foreign and domestic  companies  with  above-
   average growth potential.

   The  Fidelity  OTC  Portfolio is a growth fund  and  invests  primarily  in
   securities  traded  on  the  over-the-counter securities  market  including
   common  stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks
   and debt securities.

   The  Fidelity  Balanced Fund is a growth and income  fund  and  invests  in
   investment  grade  or  higher  bonds and  other  high-yielding  securities,
   including common and preferred stocks.

   The   Watkins-Johnson  Stock  Fund  invests  primarily  in  Watkins-Johnson
   Company's common stock.

   The   U.S.   Securities  Fund  invested  in  U.S.  Government  obligations,
   primarily treasury bills.

   The  General  Trust Fund invested primarily in corporate  stocks  and  debt
   securities.

   The   Plan,   as   amended,  allows  all  participants  to  direct   future
   contributions to the funds of their choice daily.

   The  Plan  obtained  its latest determination letter in December  1985,  in
   which  the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed,
   was  in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
   Code.   The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.
   However,  the  Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel  believe  that
   the  Plan  is currently designed and being operated in compliance with  the
   applicable  requirements  of the Internal Revenue  Code.   Therefore,  they
   believe  that the Plan was qualified and was tax-exempt as of December  31,
   1993.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with a maturity  of
   -------------------------
   three months or less.

   Deposit contracts are stated at cost plus accumulated interest.
   -----------------

   Investments  are  stated at fair value based on quoted market  prices;  the
   -----------
   unrealized  difference between cost and market is included  in  determining
   Plan net assets.

   Dividend and interest income are recorded on the accrual basis.
   ---------------------

   Administrative expenses incurred on behalf of the Plan are paid by Watkins-
   -----------------------
   Johnson  Company except for trustee fees which are paid by the Plan.   Such
   fees are recorded on the accrual basis.

   Contributions  are  allocated to individual, eligible participants  in  the
   -------------
   ratio  that  each  such  participant's regular compensation  bears  to  the
   aggregate  of  such regular compensation for all eligible Plan participants
   for the Plan year.

   Forfeitures  are allocated to individual active participants in  the  ratio
   -----------
   that  each  such participant's regular compensation bears to the  aggregate
   of  such  regular compensation for all eligible Plan participants  for  the
   Plan  year.  Total forfeitures were $92,266 and $323,588 for 1993 and 1992,
   respectively.

3. CHANGE IN INVESTMENT OPTIONS

   In  January  1993,  the  Plan  changed administrator  and  recordkeeper  to
   Fidelity Investments ("Fidelity") from First Interstate Bank.  As a  result
   of  this change, certain investment options were also changed to allow  for
   investing in Fidelity mutual funds.

4. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING

   In  1992,  the  Plan changed its method of accounting for distributions  to
   participants  from the accrual basis to the cash basis in  accordance  with
   new  guidance contained in the May 1, 1993 Audit Guide for Employee Benefit
   Plans  published by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
   The  effect of this accounting change was an increase in net assets  as  of
   January  1,  1992  of $1,504,376.  This accounting change also  results  in
   differences between net assets of the Plan's financial statements  and  the
   Plan's  Form 5500 as filed with the Internal Revenue Service by the  amount
   of distributions due to participants of $278,159 as of December 31, 1993.
