                                  (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 to be expected 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 September 30, 1995 were $6,106,000,
an increase of $2,743,000 or 82% from the comparable period in 1994.  For the
nine months ended September 30, 1995, total revenues of $15,852,000 increased by
$6,436,000 or 68% from the comparable period in 1994.  Net sales of $4,945,000
and $12,501,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
respectively, increased $2,657,000 or 116% and $6,086,000 or 95%, respectively,
as compared with the same periods during 1994. The increases in net sales
resulted from stronger worldwide demand for all of the Company's products
especially from semiconductor manufacturers in the U.S., Europe, Korea and
Japan.  Service revenue of $1,161,000 and $3,351,000 for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, increased $86,000 or 8% and
$350,000 or 12%, 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 nine month periods ended September 30,
1995 is not necessarily indicative of future results.

  Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 43% in the third
quarter of 1995 from 54% in the third quarter of 1994.  In addition, cost of
sales as a percentage of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
decreased to 46% from 53% a year ago.  These improved cost of sales ratios
resulted primarily from higher sales volumes resulting in lower per unit
manufacturing costs.  Cost of service as a percentage of service revenue
increased to 80% in the third quarter of 1995 from 73% in the third quarter of
1994, while cost of service as a percentage of service revenue for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 increased to 74% from 71% a year ago.  These
cost of service ratios increased primarily from the addition of service
personnel in Korea and the U.S.

  Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30,
1995 increased $44,000 or 7% compared to the same period in 1995 resulting from
higher development costs at the Japanese subsidiary.  Research and development
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 decreased $8,000 compared
to the same period in 1994.

  Selling expenses for the three month and nine month periods ended September
30, 1995 increased by $235,000 or 32% and $542,000 or 26%, respectively,
compared to the same periods in 1994 primarily because of higher commission
expenses resulting from higher sales and the cost of opening sales offices in
Korea and  in Austin, Texas.

  General and administrative expenses for the three month and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1995 decreased by $447,000 or 45% and $364,000 or 19%,
respectively, compared to the same periods in 1994.  The higher general and
administrative expenses in 1994 included a $517,000 writeoff of a doubtful
receivable.

  Other income for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30,
1995 increased $173,000 and $548,000, respectively, from the comparable periods
in 1994 due primarily to more favorable exchange rate results.

  For the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the effective
income tax rates were 23% and 26%, respectively.  The income tax provision for
interim periods reflects the Company's 

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
estimated annual income tax rate. The difference between income taxes computed
at the federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate in the third quarter
and the first nine 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 the utilization of previously reserved
federal net operating losses and foreign tax credits.

  The Company reported an operating income of $864,000 and net income of
$842,000 for the third quarter of 1995 compared to an operating loss of
$1,024,000 and a net loss of $978,000 for the same period in 1994.  For the
first nine months of 1995, the Company reported an operating income of
$1,637,000 and net income of $1,728,000 which compared to an operating loss of
$2,000,000 and a net loss of $1,875,000 for the same period in 1994.

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


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- --------- --- ------- ---------

  At September 30, 1995, the Company had working capital of $15,474,000 compared
to $10,205,000 at December 31, 1994.  The current ratio at September 30, 1995
was 5.4 to 1.  The Company believes working capital, including cash and short-
term investments of $6,873,000, will be sufficient to meet its needs at least
through the next twelve months.  Operating activities for the first nine months
of 1995 provided cash of $444,000 primarily from net income, while the purchase
of short-term investments used $5,142,000, capital expenditures used $93,000, a
long-term loan from a Japanese bank provided $4,700,000, debt repayment used
$588,000 and issuance of common stock provided $290,000.
