                                  (UNAUDITED)


1. INTERIM REPORTING

GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited financial statements consolidate the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been restated to reflect the
acquisitions of RAM Optical Instrumentation, Inc. (ROI) and Light Control
Instruments, Inc. (LCI) (Note 2) which have been accounted for using the pooling
of interests method.  The accounts of the Company's subsidiaries in Europe have
been consolidated using a one-month lag.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
of the information in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been made and consist of only normal recurring accruals.  Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current
year presentation.  Although the Company believes that the disclosures in these
financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, and consequently, these statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto, contained in the Company's Form 8-K dated May 17,
1995.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common
stock and the dilutive effects of common stock equivalents (stock options),
determined using the treasury stock method.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
            THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the earnings and financial position of the Company
during the period included in the accompanying financial statements.  This
discussion includes the impact of the acquisition of RAM Optical Instrumentation
Inc. ("ROI") and Light Control Instruments Inc. ("LCI") and represents the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995, compared with the three-
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994.  This discussion should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and associated notes.  Prior period
financial statements have been restated to reflect the acquisitions of ROI and
LCI using the pooling of interests method.

ACQUISITIONS:

On February 28, 1995, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of
ROI, a manufacturer of video inspection systems, in exchange for 1,251,000
shares of its common stock.  Additionally, an option to purchase 3,500 ROI
common shares was exchanged for an option to purchase 72,975 Newport common
shares.  On March 30, 1995, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of
LCI, a manufacturer of laser-diode instruments, in exchange for 128,000 shares
of its common stock.

These transactions have been accounted for as poolings of interests.  Costs
associated with these acquisitions totaling $0.1 million were charged to
operations in the first quarter of 1995.

RESTRUCTURING:

At December 31, 1994, $2.4 million remained of the restructuring reserves
established during 1992 and 1993.  During the first three quarters of 1995, $1.8
million was charged to the reserve representing $0.6 million for severance and
$1.2 million to close facilities.  It is expected that the remaining $0.6
million, principally severance and costs to close facilities, will be spent
during the remainder of 1995.

                              NEWPORT CORPORATION
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
            THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D)

NET SALES:

Sales for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995, were $24.3
million and $74.1 million, respectively, compared with $23.0 million and $68.9
million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994.  The
current quarter increase is attributable to sales growth in U.S. domestic
markets ($0.8 million), Canada ($0.3 million), and Europe ($0.1 million)
combined with a favorable exchange rate effect ($0.8 million) on sales
denominated in foreign currencies, offset in part by declines in sales to the
Pacific Rim ($0.7 million).  The year-to-date increase is attributable to sales
growth in U.S. domestic ($3.4 million) and European markets ($0.5 million) and a
favorable exchange rate effect ($3.1 million) on sales denominated in foreign
currencies offset in part by declines in sales to the Pacific Rim ($1.8
million).

The Company's domestic sales totaled $14.0 million and $40.5 million for the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995, compared with $13.2
million and $37.1 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September
30, 1994, a sales increase of 6.1% and 9.2%, respectively, for the quarter and
the nine-month period.  The current quarter sales increases from the year ago
level was primarily attributable to increased sales revenue at ROI.  The nine-
month sales increase from the year ago level was primarily the result of growth
across the core product lines and to increased sales revenue at ROI and LCI.

International sales of the company were $10.3 million and $33.6 million for the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995, compared with $9.8
million and $31.8 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September
30, 1994, a sales increase of 5.1% and 5.7% for the respective periods.  The
increase for the three months ended September 30, 1995 resulted primarily from
the favorable exchange rate effect mentioned previously offset in part by
declines in the Pacific Rim.  The year-to-date increase resulted from a
strengthening of sales in the major markets of Europe and the favorable exchange
rate effect mentioned previously offset in part by declines in the Pacific Rim.
The Company believes the international sales decline in the Pacific Rim from the
year ago level resulted primarily from the weak economic environment in Japan.

COST OF SALES:

Cost of sales when stated as a percentage of sales for the three- and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1995, was 53.9% and 54.7%, respectively, a decrease
compared with 54.0% and 54.9% for the three- and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1994.  These results reflect continuation of gross margin
improvements following actions taken during the first quarter of 1994, when the
company initiated a number of cost saving measures in Europe.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three- and nine-
month periods ended September 30, 1995, increased 1.3% and 5.3%, respectively,
compared with the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994.  SG&A
expenses when stated as a percentage of sales were 33.4% and 33.7%, compared
with 34.7% and 34.4% for the prior year periods.  This improvement is
principally attributable to the favorable impact of increased sales volume.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
            THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D)

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES:

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the three- and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1995, increased 13.0% and 24.0%, respectively, compared with
the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994.  These R&D expenses
when stated as a percentage of sales were 6.1% and 6.7%, compared with 5.7% and
5.8% for the prior year periods.  These increases are principally attributable
to costs associated with the development of new precision systems for niche
markets in the semiconductor, medical instrumentation and telecommunications
industries.  During the current quarter the Company capitalized $0.1 million of
software development costs in accordance with the requirements of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 86.

INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER INCOME:

Interest expense for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995,
was $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, compared with $0.5 million and
$1.4 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994.
The reduction resulting principally from a $6.1 million year-to-date reduction
of the Company's debt offset in part by increased interest expense caused by the
exchange rate impact of the strengthening over the year of the French franc
relative to the U.S. dollar.  Other income and expense, consisting of interest
income, dividends and other income and expense was an expense of $0.1 million
and income of $1.1 million for the three-and nine-month periods ended September
30, 1995.  This compares with income of $0.2 million and $1.3 million for the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994.

The decrease in other income for the three-month period ended September 30, 1995
was primarily attributable to realized foreign currency losses.  There was a
$0.1 million realized foreign currency loss for the three months ended September
30, 1995, compared with a gain totaling $0.1 million for the three-month period
ended September 30, 1994.

PROVISION FOR TAXES:

The tax provision for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995,
of $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, is principally federal and state
taxes on domestic taxable income.  Foreign net operating losses that occurred
during the periods have not been currently benefited in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Company generated $5.8
million cash from operations, $0.8 million from sales of investments and $0.9
million from exercises of stock options.  These funds were used to reduce debt
by $6.1 million, acquire capital equipment with a cost of $1.8 million and pay
dividends totaling $0.3 million.  At September 30, 1995, amounts available for
borrowing under the Company's credit lines totaled $6.2 million, an improvement
over the availability of $3.5 million at December 31, 1994.

The Company believes its current working capital position together with
estimated cash flows from operations, its existing credit availability and
anticipated refinancings are adequate for operations in the ordinary course of
business, anticipated capital expenditures as well as restructuring and debt
payment requirements through 1996.
