                                   (Unaudited)


Note 1.   Consolidated Financial Statements

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nanometrics
Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

     While the quarterly financial information is unaudited, the financial
statements included in this report reflect all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods covered and of
the financial condition of the Company at the date of the interim balance sheet.
The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the entire year.  The information included in this report
should be read in conjunction with the information included in the Company's
1994 Form 10-K.

Note 2.   Per Share Information

     Net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Common
equivalent shares include dilutive common stock options (using the treasury
stock method) and are excluded in loss periods as they are anti-dilutive.

Note 3.   Inventories

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market
and consist of the following:

Note 4.   Borrowing Arrangements

     The Company, in June 1995, borrowed $4.7 million (400,000,000 Yen) from the
Mitsubishi Bank, Ltd in Chiba, Japan to provide supplemental working capital for
the Company's operations.  The loan was secured using the Company's factory and
adjacent land in Japan as collateral.  This obligation bears interest at the
bank's prime rate (2.375% at June 30, 1995) plus 1.3% and is due in quarterly
installments of principal and interest through 2005.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1995 were $5,204,000, an
increase of $1,790,000 or 52% from the comparable period in 1994.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1995, total revenues of $9,746,000 increased by $3,693,000
or 61% from the comparable period in 1994.  Net sales of $3,947,000 and
$7,556,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1995,
respectively, increased $1,501,000 or 61% and $3,429,000 or 83%, respectively,
as compared with the same periods during 1994. The increases in net sales
resulted from stronger demand for all of the Company's products especially from
semiconductor manufacturers in the U.S., Europe and Japan.  Service revenue of
$1,257,000 and $2,190,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30,
1995, respectively, increased $289,000 or 30% and $264,000 or 14%, respectively,
as compared to the same periods in 1994.  These increases in service revenue are
primarily attributable to increased sales of accessories and upgrades in the
U.S. and Japan in 1995.  The Company believes that its revenue growth for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 is not necessarily indicative of
future results.

     Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased from 50% in the second
quarter of 1994 to 46% in the second quarter of 1995 primarily because of higher
sales volume resulting in lower per unit manufacturing costs.  Cost of service
as a percentage of service revenue decreased from 70% in the second quarter of
1994 to 64% in the second quarter of 1995.  This decrease was primarily
attributable to to strong margins on the additional sales of accessories and
upgrades in 1995.  Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 decreased to 47% from 53% a year ago as a result of higher
sales volume resulting in lower per unit manufacturing costs.  Cost of service
as a percentage of service revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1995
increased slightly to 71% from 70% a year ago.

     Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1995
increased $75,000 or 12% compared to the same period in 1994 resulting from
higher development costs at the Japanese subsidiary.  Research and development
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1995 decreased $51,000 or 4% compared
to the same period in 1994 primarily due to lower materials expenses, especially
in the first quarter of 1995, as the Company directs more of its efforts on
software development.

     Selling expenses for the three month and six month periods ended June 30,
1995 increased by $191,000 or 28% and $307,000 or 23%, respectively, compared to
the same periods in 1994 primarily because of higher commission expenses
resulting from higher sales and the cost of opening a sales office in Austin,
Texas.

     General and administrative expenses for the three month and six month
periods ended June 30, 1995 increased by $54,000 or 11% and $83,000 or 9%,
respectively, compared to the same periods in 1994 as a result of higher
overhead expenses mainly at the Japanese subsidiary.

     Other income for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1995
increased $278,000 and $376,000, respectively, from the comparable periods in
1994 due to more favorable exchange rate results.

     For the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 1995, the effective
income tax rates were 25% and 29%, respectively.  The income tax provision for
interim periods reflects the Company's estimated


                                        8


<PAGE>


annual income tax rate.  The difference between income taxes computed at the
federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate in the second quarter and the
first six months of 1995 is due to the effect of foreign income taxed at a lower
overall effective rate due to the utilization of previously reserved net
operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits.

     The Company reported an operating income of $478,000 and net income of
$580,000 for the second quarter of 1995 compared to an operating loss of
$265,000 and a net loss of $253,000 for the same period in 1994.  For the first
six months of 1995, the Company reported an operating income of $772,000 and net
income of $886,000 which compared to an operating loss of $976,000 and a net
loss of $897,000 for the same period in 1994.

     With sufficient capital, the introduction of new products and increased
demand for established products, the Company is optimistic about its prospects
for the third quarter.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At June 30, 1995, the Company had working capital of $15,757,000
compared to $10,205,000 at December 31, 1994.  The current ratio at June 30,
1995 was 5.2 to 1.  The Company believes working capital including cash and
short-term investments of $7,934,000 will be sufficient to meet its needs at
least through the next twelve months.  Operating activities for the first six
months of 1995 provided cash of $1,016,000 primarily from net income,
increased liabilities and reduced inventory while the purchase of short-term
investments used $5,138,000, capital expenditures used $6,000, a long-term
loan from a Japanese bank provided $4,700,000, debt repayment used $160,000
and issuance of common stock provided $141,000.
