                          KLA INSTRUMENTS CORPORATION


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


Results of Operations

Third Quarter and Nine Months of Fiscal 1994 Compared with Third Quarter and
Nine Months of Fiscal 1993


Net Sales

Net sales increased $20.4 million or 48.4% and $52.3 million or 43.8%,
respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1994 as
compared to the prior fiscal year. The largest increase in sales was in the
WISARD business unit. The RAPID business unit, the Metrology division and the
ATS division also contributed to the rise in sales. The WISARD business unit
achieved record shipments of the KLA 2100 series of yield monitoring systems.
This success was primarily attributable to the on-going market adoption of the
KLA 2100 series as an in-line monitoring system and secondarily to industry
additions to manufacturing capacity in the U.S. and Asia Pacific. A shift in
product mix from the KLA 200 series to the new generation KLA 300 series was
the primary contributor to the increases experienced by the RAPID business
unit. The Metrology division and the ATS division increases were due to higher
unit volume.

Gross Margin

Gross margins were 46.8 % for the three-month and 43.6% for the nine-month
periods ended March 31, 1994, compared to gross margins of 36.9% and 35.3% in
the comparable periods for the prior fiscal year.  The increase in both periods
is due primarily to manufacturing efficiencies in the WISARD business unit as
volumes rose substantially and also to a favorable mix effect as the KLA 2100
series portion of total KLA revenues increased. Gross margins were also
favorably impacted by cost controls and efficiencies in the Field Service
division.

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



Engineering Research and Development

Engineering research and development expenses were 8.8% of net sales in the
three month period and 8.9% in the nine month period ended March 31, 1994,
compared to 10.4% and 10.5% in the comparable periods in the prior fiscal year.
Net engineering expenditures rose $1.1 million and $2.7 million during the
three and nine month periods of fiscal 1994 compared to the prior fiscal year.
The absolute dollar increase was primarily due to funding of incremental
engineering programs in the Company's expanding WISARD business unit.

Selling General and Administrative

Selling general and administrative expenses decreased 0.6% to 19.2% and 0.4% to
19.4%, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1994
as compared to the prior fiscal year. Headcount-related overhead expenses
increased in total, but at a lower rate of increase than revenues. However,
commission expenses for outside sales representatives increased faster than
revenues, reflecting the increased share of Japanese and Asia Pacific business.
In addition, profit sharing expense grew substantially faster than revenues due
to the sharp upturn in the Company's profitability.


Provision for Income Tax

The 25% effective tax rate for both the three and nine-month periods ended
March 31, 1993 and March 31, 1994 results from income in foreign jurisdictions
having a lower than U.S. tax rate, and from the realization of net deferred tax
assets previously reserved including tax credit carryforwards.  Management
believes that sufficient uncertainty continues to exist regarding the
realization of the remaining deferred tax assets such that a full valuation
allowance is still required.


Future Operating Results

The Company's future results will depend on its ability to continuously
introduce new products and enhancements to its customers as demands for higher
performance yield management and process control systems change or increase.
Due to the risks inherent in transitioning to new products, the Company must
accurately forecast demand in both volume and configuration and also manage the
transition from older products.  The Company's results could be affected by the
ability of competitors to introduce new products which have technological
and/or pricing advantages.  The Company's results also will be affected by
strategic decisions made by management regarding whether to continue particular
product lines, and by volume, mix and timing of orders received during a
period, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, and changing conditions in both
the semiconductor industry and key semiconductor markets around the world.  As
a result, the Company's operating results may fluctuate, especially when
measured on a quarterly basis.

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




Liquidity and Capital Resources

Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $61.6 million during the nine
month fiscal period ended March 31, 1994. Cash used for operations was $7.1
million. The major factors contributing to the use of cash for operations was
an increase in accounts receivable and inventories, respectively, of $34.0
million and $7.1 million offset by net income of $19.5 million and non-cash
adjustments, for depreciation and amortization, of $8.5 million. The accounts
receivable increase is attributable to (a) the increase in revenue, (b)
non-linear delays in the manufacturing ramp-up of the KLA 2131 product entry
during the third fiscal quarter of 1994 and (c) the comparison to a strong
collection effort at the end of fiscal 1993. Higher production levels
contributed to the increase in inventories. In February 1994, the Company
raised approximately $68.8 million in a public offering of 2,300,000 new shares
of common stock. Stock option exercises contributed $5.6 million to cash.  The
Company believes that its current level of liquid assets, credit facilities and
cash generated from operations are sufficient to fund growth for the
foreseeable future.
