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.  The results for the six months
  ended July 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
     second 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 $9.3 million from $45.0 to
        $35.7 million mostly due to cash used for stock repurchases exceeded
        cash generated by stock issuances from stock option exercises. For the
        second half 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 first half the company had no
        material commitments or planned investments which would require external
        financing.

        CURRENT OPERATIONS:  Sales and profit for semiconductor-manufacturing
        equipment continue to exceed planned levels.  Long-term prospects appear
        positive as industry analysts predict that the semiconductor-equipment
        market will remain healthy.  However, it must be recognized that the
        semiconductor equipment business is cyclical and can change rapidly.
        Uncertainty increases significantly when projecting demand for
        semiconductor equipment products more than six months in the future.

        The first-half Electronics Group sales are on plan, and profit is above
        plan.  Efforts to streamline the group's organization continue to
        contribute to profits.  In May, the group consolidated three divisions
        into two. Operations of the Electronic Systems Division were merged into
        the Microwave Products Division and the Electronic Equipment Division,
        previously named the Communication Electronics Technology Division.
        During the second quarter, the Electronics Group initiated negotiations
        on a key order in a new business area-- cellular base-station equipment.

        BACKLOG:  The firm order backlog on July 1, 1994 was $181,527,000,
        compared to the $188,851,000 recorded on July 2, 1993.  The portion of
        the current backlog shippable within twelve months is 91 percent,
        compared to 91 percent one year ago.

        SECOND QUARTER AND SECOND QUARTER YEAR-TO-DATE 1994 COMPARED TO SECOND
        QUARTER AND SECOND QUARTER YEAR-TO-DATE 1993: Company sales increased
        more than 25% and were virtually all attributable to the increased
        volume in the semiconductor-equipment segment. Gross margins improved to
        above 40% mostly due to the higher volume in the Semiconductor Equipment
        Group and improved profitability in the Electronics Group.  Selling and
        administrative expenses were within planned levels as higher commissions
        were paid on increased international sales volume. Research and
        development expenses were higher as Semiconductor Equipment Group
        incurred certain nonrecurring charges associated with the high-density
        plasma initiative. R&D expenses are expected to be above plan for the
        year although the pace of spending will slow in the second half.
        Unfavorable foreign exchange rates were the primary reason for the
        decrease in "Interest and other income (expense) - net". Estimated
        effective tax rate increased slightly to 32% as a result of the 1993
        Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act.  Due to the above combined factors,
        net income for the second quarter and first half of 1994 more than
        doubled the 1993 amounts. <PAGE>
