              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                                   (IN '000'S)
                                    UNAUDITED

1)       This information is unaudited but, in the opinion of the Company's
         management, all adjustments (consisting only of adjustments that are of
         a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair statement of results
         have been included. The results for the quarter and the nine month
         period ended March 31, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of results
         to be expected for the entire fiscal year. This financial information
         should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form
         10-K (including items incorporated by reference therein) for the year
         ended June 30, 1994.

2)       Effective July 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Investments in Certain
         Debt and Equity Securities" (FAS 115), which requires investment
         securities to be classified as either held to maturity, trading or
         available for sale. The Company reviewed its portfolio and determined
         that its investment portfolio would be classified as available for
         sale. Under FAS 115, for those investments classified as available for
         sale, the difference between an investment's cost and its fair value
         has been recorded as a separate component of stockholder's equity.

3)       Details of certain balance sheet components:

4)       In December 1994, the Company acquired Metrologix Inc., (Metrologix), a
         manufacturer of advanced electron beam measurement equipment for $14.2
         million in cash. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and
         the total acquisition cost of $16.1 million has been allocated to
         assets acquired and liabilities assumed. A significant portion of the
         acquisition cost was allocated to acquired in-process technology.
         During December 1994, the Company wrote-off the acquired in-process
         technology resulting in an after-tax charge of $16.2 million ($25.2
         million pre-tax). The results of operations for Metrologix from the
         date of the acquisition to March 31, 1995 were immaterial.

5)       In April, 1995, the Company raised approximately $90.7 million, net of 
         offering costs, in a public offering of 1,500,000 new shares of common 
         stock.

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

Results of Operations

Third Quarter and Nine Months of Fiscal 1995 Compared with Third Quarter and 
Nine Months of Fiscal 1994

Metrologix 

In December 1994, the Company acquired Metrologix Inc., (Metrologix), a
manufacturer of advanced electron beam measurement equipment. Except for the
non-recurring write-off of the Metrologix technology, the acquisition did not
have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company. The Company
does not expect the Metrologix business to have a significant impact on earnings
during the remainder of the fiscal year.

Net Sales

Net sales increased 88.5% and 78.3%, respectively, for the three and nine month
periods ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the prior fiscal year. Sales of
wafer inspection units by the Company's WISARD business unit (WISARD) were
predominantly responsible for the dollar increase in net sales. The Company
attributes the continuing increase of WISARD's sales primarily to the fact that
the world's most sophisticated users of KLA's yield monitoring systems continued
the trend of adopting multiple units per fab. Presently, the most extensive
users have between six and nine KLA yield monitoring units installed or on order
per fab. The Metrology division also recorded significant increases in net
sales, due to overall strength in the semiconductor industry and increasing
customer acceptance of the KLA 5100.

Gross Margin

Gross margins were 54.1% and 53.2%, respectively, for the three and nine month
periods ended March 31, 1995 compared to 46.8% and 43.6% for the same periods of
the prior fiscal year. The increase in the gross margins was due primarily to
the increasing favorable mix of business towards the more profitable WISARD
products. Volume efficiencies also contributed to gross margin improvement in
WISARD and in the Metrology division. The Metrology division's gross margin
increase was also attributable to a favorable product mix.

Engineering, Research and Development

Engineering, research and development expenses were 10.4% and 9.6% of net sales,
respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1995 compared
to 8.8% and 8.9% of net sales, for the same periods of the prior fiscal year.
Net engineering expenditures rose $6.8 million and $14.0 million, respectively,
during the three and nine month periods of fiscal 1995 compared to the prior
fiscal year. WISARD, the Rapid business unit, and new product lines (PRISM and
E-Beam Metrology) each contributed to the dollar increase in engineering
expenses. WISARD's increase was due to the business unit's on-going effort to
add and expand research and development programs.

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


Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 18.3% and 19.5% of net sales,
respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1995 compared
to 19.2% and 19.4% of net sales, for the same periods of the prior fiscal year.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, administrative expenses and
representative commissions grew at a rate slower than sales. This was partially
offset by profit sharing and sales expenses, which grew faster than revenues.
For the nine months ended March 31, 1995, the percentage decrease in sales and
administrative expenses was slightly smaller than the percentage increase in
profit sharing expense and representative commissions.

Write -off of Acquired In-process Technology

In December 1994, the Company acquired Metrologix, a manufacturer of advanced
electron beam measurement equipment. A significant portion of the purchase price
was allocated to acquired in-process technology. During December 1994, the
Company wrote-off the acquired in-process technology resulting in a pre-tax
charge of $25.2 million ($16.2 million after-tax).

Interest Income and Other, net

Interest income and other, net increased $1.7 million and $4.2 million,
respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1995 as
compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. This increase is
attributable to both higher average cash, cash equivalent and marketable
security balances and to higher average interest rates.

Provision for Income Taxes

The 33.6% estimated effective tax rate for the nine month period ended March 31,
1995 is lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily as a result of (a) income
in foreign jurisdictions having a lower than U.S. tax rate, (b) the realization
of Foreign Sales Corporation benefits, (c) the utilization of research and
development tax credits and (d) the realization of net deferred tax assets
previously reserved, including tax credit carryforwards.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $79.4 million at March 31, 1995 compared to
June 30, 1994. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is due to the adoption
of new investment strategies and the reclassification of $81.3 million from cash
and cash equivalents to short term investments and marketable securities. Cash
generated by operations was $24.6 million. Included in the cash generated from
operations was a cash use of $47.7 million for accounts receivable. Receivables
increased in part because of a $44.9 million increase in net quarterly sales
from the fourth fiscal quarter of 1994 to the third fiscal quarter of 1995. The
Company used $14.2 million to acquire Metrologix in December 1994. The Company
also invested $12.8 million in new cleanrooms, leasehold improvements and
computer equipment. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the employee
stock purchase plan were $5.8 million. In order to accommodate increasing demand
for its products, the Company has begun the construction of an additional
facility at its San Jose campus. In May 1995, the Company received net proceeds
of approximately $90.7 million from its public offering of 1,500,000 new shares
of common stock. The Company believes that its current level of liquid assets,
credit facilities and cash generated from operations are sufficient to fund
growth through the foreseeable future.
