NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 - The accompanying financial information is unaudited but includes all
    adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company
    considers necessary for a fair statement of the results for the period. The
    operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1995 are not
    necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire year.

2 - Per share information is based on the weighted average common shares and
    common share equivalents outstanding during each period. The shares that
    were used in the calculation of net income per share for the three months
    ended March 31, 1995 were 4,698,000 and 4,221,000 shares, respectively.

3 - On June 22, 1994 the Company acquired Daymarc Corporation, a
    privately-held manufacturer of gravity feed semiconductor test handling
    equipment that complements the pick and place test handling equipment
    manufactured by Delta Design. The Company issued 280,000 shares of Cohu
    common stock, an option to purchase 70,000 shares of Cohu common stock and
    paid $4,000,000 in cash to the securityholders of Daymarc. In addition,
    performance-based consideration may be payable in Cohu common stock and cash
    which could total approximately $8,000,000 over the next four years. The
    acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and goodwill will be
    amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty years. The Company's
    consolidated financial statements include the results of Daymarc from June
    22, 1994 forward. The $4,000,000 payment made to securityholders of Daymarc
    was funded by borrowing $4,000,000 of long term debt payable over four
    years.

Assuming that the acquisition of Daymarc had occurred on the first day of the
Company's year ended December 31, 1994, pro forma condensed consolidated results
of operations would be as follows:

These results give effect to pro forma adjustments that include the amortization
of goodwill, issuance of 280,000 shares of Cohu common stock and interest
expense on long term debt.

This pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the actual results
that would have been achieved had Daymarc been acquired the first day of the
Company's year ended December 31, 1994.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

First Quarter 1995 compared to First Quarter 1994

Net sales increased 84% to $32,182,000 in 1995 compared to sales of $17,518,000
in 1994. Sales of semiconductor test handling equipment increased 129% in 1995
with 67% of the increase due to increased sales of pick and place handling
equipment by Delta Design and 62% of the increase attributable to the inclusion
of Daymarc's operating results in 1995. Sales of television cameras and
equipment increased 25% while the combined sales of metal detection and
microwave equipment increased slightly in 1995. Gross Margins as a percentage of
sales remained constant at approximately 40% for 1995 and 1994. Research and
development expense as a percentage of sales decreased to 7% in 1995 from an
abnormally high 9% in 1994. Selling, general and administrative expense
decreased to 15% in 1995 from 17% in 1994 due to cost containment measures and
lower commissions and selling expenses on semiconductor test handling equipment.
The provision for income taxes expressed as a percentage of pre-tax income was
39% in both 1995 and the year ended December 31, 1994. Net income increased 113%
to $3,480,000 in 1995 from $1,631,000 in 1994.

The Company's results are substantially dependent on the results of the
semiconductor test handling equipment business conducted by its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Delta Design and Daymarc Corporation. This capital equipment
business is in turn highly dependent on the overall strength of the
semiconductor industry. Worldwide demand for semiconductors has historically
been subject to substantial cyclical swings of varying duration and magnitude,
and is currently in a period of relative strength. The Company's favorable
results in recent periods are in part reflective of this current strength in the
semiconductor industry. The Company cannot predict how long the current period
of relative strength will continue. The Company's backlog can be expected to
decline concurrently with or possibly in advance of the next period of relative
weakness in worldwide demand for semiconductors. The Company attempts to keep
its production capacity, labor force and other aspects of its cost structure in
line with expected demand.

Liquidity - The Company's net cash flows generated from operating activities was
$3,111,000. Accounts receivable increased $2,551,000 due to higher first quarter
sales. Inventory increased $2,303,000 in anticipation of increased future sales.
Accounts and commission payables increased $4,085,000 mainly due to purchases
related to the increase in inventory and increased sales. Net cash used for
investing activities was $174,000 which was used for the purchase of equipment.
Net cash used for financing activities was $1,393,000. Cash used by financing
activities included a $1,400,000 final payment on long-term borrowing and
$312,000 cash used for dividends. The Company has $3,000,000 available under its
current short term line of credit and working capital of $40,401,000. It is
anticipated that present working capital, profitable operations and available
borrowings under the credit line will be sufficient to meet the Company's normal
operating requirements and the anticipated capital expenditures for 1995 of
approximately $2,000,000.
