                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

         Megatest Corporation ("Megatest" or the "Company") designs,
manufactures, markets and services automatic test equipment (ATE) for the
integrated circuit industry.  Megatest currently offers four product lines--one
for testing memory ICs and three for testing logic ICs.  The Company's Genesis
IIex and Genesis G-III memory test systems test a broad range of memory ICs,
such as DRAMs and non-volatile memories ("NVMs"), including FLASH memories and
EPROMs.  The Company believes that it is the leading supplier of ATE for
testing FLASH memories, the fastest growing type of standard memory IC.  The
Polaris and Vega Series, Megatest's second and third generation logic testers
using its Tester-Per-Pin architecture, test a wide variety of high-performance
logic ICs, including RISC and CISC processors, digital signal processors, and
custom, semi-custom and application specific ICs.  The Voyager Series tests
logic devices such as FPGAs, PLDs and microcontrollers and some memory IC
devices.  The Polaris and Vega systems support a recently introduced option
which incorporates certain analog functions to address the growing mixed-signal
requirements of some logic ICs.  The Company markets its test equipment
worldwide to IC producers, both those who manufacture ICs for resale and those
who manufacture ICs for inclusion in their own products, as well as to IC
customers such as manufacturers of computers and other electronic systems.

PROPOSED MERGER WITH TERADYNE

         On September 5, 1995, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger and Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") with Teradyne, Inc.
("Teradyne") and M Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned
subsidiary of Teradyne ("Merger Sub").  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and
upon the satisfaction of all closing conditions, Merger Sub will merge (the
"Merger") with and into Megatest, and Megatest will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Teradyne.

         Upon the closing of the Merger each outstanding share of Megatest
common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.9091 shares of
Teradyne common stock, subject to the following adjustment (.9091 shares, as
adjusted, the "Exchange Ratio"):  (i) if the Final Teradyne Stock Price (as
defined below) is equal to or less than $36.00 per share, no adjustment to the
Exchange Ratio shall be made; (ii) if the Final Teradyne Stock Price is greater
than $36.00 per share then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted pursuant to the
following formula:

                                     1                    
Exchange Ratio  =  ----------------------------------------
                   (Final Teradyne Stock Price x .02) + .38

but in no event will the Exchange Ratio be greater than .9091 or less than
 .8333.  "Final Teradyne Stock Price" shall mean the average of the closing
prices of Teradyne common stock for the twenty consecutive days on which
Teradyne common stock is traded on The New York Stock Exchange ending on the
fifth calendar day immediately preceding the Special Meeting of Megatest
stockholders held for the purpose of approving the Merger.

         The closing of the transaction is subject to certain conditions,
including approval by Megatest's stockholders.  The transaction is
expected to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.





                                                                               1

PRODUCTS

         Since introducing its first tester in 1976, the Company has sold
approximately 2,850 memory and logic testers.  Megatest's Polaris, Vega and
Genesis test systems are composed of a "mainframe" unit and one or more test
heads. The mainframe contains most of the testing circuitry, including the
computer control unit, test pattern and timing generators, as well as the power
supplies and cooling systems necessary for operation.  The test heads contain
highly specialized pin electronics that connect to the IC being tested.  The
Voyager Series utilizes "tester-in-a-testhead" architecture, in which all
tester modules reside in the testhead, close to the ICs under test.  The base
unit of a Voyager Series thus contains only the computer control unit, power
supplies and cooling system.  For each of the Company's testers, the test head
is brought into contact with the ICs being tested through use of the tester's
own manipulator system and IC handlers and wafer probers provided by other
manufacturers.  Megatest's products range in price from approximately $200,000
for a minimally configured memory tester to over $4,000,000 for a fully
configured logic system.

      GENESIS MEMORY TEST SYSTEMS

         The Genesis memory test systems are used for a variety of different
memory IC types.  The wide range of memory IC configurations necessitates
testers that can accommodate varying data formats, operating speeds and
specialty modes.  The Genesis systems are designed for cost-effective,
general-purpose, high-volume memory IC testing.  All versions feature a
parallel-test architecture. The Company's original Genesis II was introduced in
1988, an enhanced Genesis IIex version was introduced in 1991, and the current
Genesis G-III system was introduced in July 1993.  The Company shipped its
first Genesis G-III in February 1994.

         The Genesis systems are designed with the high-voltage capability
required for testing many currently available NVMs, such as FLASH memories,
EPROMs and EEPROMs.  This high-voltage feature is also used to test special
access modes for certain specialty memory ICs.  The Genesis IIex is capable of
fully testing memory ICs at up to 33 MHz, and has the ability to test special
access modes at up to 50 MHz.  The Genesis G-III is capable of fully testing
memory ICs at up to 66 MHz.  The Company believes these capabilities enable
either Genesis system to test virtually all DRAMs and NVMs currently in volume
production.  In addition, the added capabilities of the Genesis G-III are
designed to enable it to test new, high-performance DRAMs and NVMs.

         The Genesis systems incorporate a number of features to increase
tester throughput.  They allow parallel testing of up to 32 DRAMs at one time,
and their modular test head design allows easy integration with standard wafer
probers and IC handlers.  The Company offers interfaces for most wafer probers
and IC handlers currently available, and designs custom interface applications
for others as necessary.  The Genesis systems are available in configurations
with one to four test heads. Field upgrades are available to expand testers up
to their maximum configuration.

VLSI LOGIC TEST SYSTEMS

         Megatest's family of VLSI Logic test systems is used to test a wide
variety of logic IC devices.  This family of systems is based on a
Tester-Per-Pin architecture pioneered by Megatest.  Tester-Per-Pin provides
individual testing resources for each pin of the IC being tested, including a
timing generator, pin driver and comparator, parametric test unit, dynamic
current load, vector memory and serial scan path.  Megatest believes such
architecture offers greater efficiency and flexibility in testing than other
current architectures.  The high level of control of complex test patterns and
increased timing flexibility provided by the Tester-Per-Pin architecture are
critical for uncompromised, cost-efficient testing of the many different logic
IC types, speeds and configurations.

         The VLSI logic family was designed to optimize high-volume IC
manufacturing applications in order to reduce the customer's total cost of
ownership.  The family consists of two models: the Polaris series designed to
test the current generation of high performance processors, and the Vega
Series, introduced in January 1995 and targeted at the most advanced high
performance processors under development.  Logic ICs are tested by using a
truth table containing input test patterns and anticipated results.  The more
complex the logic IC, the longer the truth table must be.  The Polaris series
permits truth tables of up to thirty two million vectors, while the Vega
permits truth tables of up to sixty four million vectors.  To support the
varying testing demands of complex logic ICs, the testers are offered in
configurations ranging from 32 to 384 pins and support a recently introduced
option which incorporates certain analog functions to address the growing
"mixed-signal" requirements of some ICs.  The





                                                                               2
   4

Polaris and Vega series incorporate a Sun Microsystems SPARC central processor
as their test system controller and SPARC workstations and fileservers as their
front-end user interface.  These systems facilitate access to testing data and
integration into engineering and test floor management systems. In addition,
the Vega is compatible with the Company's previous generations of logic
testers, in that test programs written for the MegaOne and Polaris can be used
on the Vega.

         The Vega and Polaris are available in configurations of one or two
test heads, allowing different ICs to be tested on each head, thereby
increasing tester utilization and IC test throughput while minimizing factory
floor space.  In addition, both testers have the capability to test multiple
ICs in parallel on each test head.  Each test head is mounted on a
pneumatically controlled test head manipulator which allows the operator to
position the test head easily in virtually any orientation for docking to a
wide range of wafer probing and IC handling equipment.  The manipulator and
docking mechanism are designed to enable rapid reconfiguration from one IC type
to another.  The design also includes a chilled water cooling system, which
maintains a lower internal operating temperature than conventional air cooling
systems.  This lower temperature extends the operating life of the internal
electronic components, improves overall system reliability, and provides
quieter operation.  Efficient cooling also improves the stability and
repeatability or accuracy of testing results.

         Expandability in pin count, upgradeability in test speed and test
system controllers, and the ability to add a second test head at a much lower
cost than purchasing a new tester are available to customers as field
modifications.  These modifications permit customers to purchase only the
capability they currently require, while preserving the option to upgrade later
as their testing needs grow.

      VOYAGER TEST SYSTEM

         The Voyager test system tests logic IC devices such as FPGAs, PLDs and
microcontrollers, and some memory IC devices.  The Voyager system employs a
tester-in-a-testhead design concept to meet special needs of high-volume,
high-speed device manufacturers.  Introduced in 1993 by Micro Component
Technology, Inc. (MCT) as the Model 1149, the system offers configuration
flexibility for supporting boundary scan and other built-in self test IC
circuits.  All tester modules reside in the testhead, close to the ICs under
test, which enables higher accuracy and throughput at reduced costs.  Several
kinds of pin electronic modules can be placed in any position to accommodate
special test needs.

         The Voyager's testhead configuration flexibility allows IC
manufacturers to optimize testing costs for special purpose products.
Manufacturers of field programmable logic devices such as FPGAs and PLDs, for
example, often require multiple level, high-voltage programming pulses to load
program data into ICs.  The Voyager offers an optimized pin electronics module
for such needs.  Manufacturers can populate Voyager testheads with up to 768
pin channels for testing devices in parallel, and can easily optimize Voyager
system configurations to accomplish proprietary device programming techniques
at low cost. The Company believes the combination of parallelism and accuracy
offers favorable cost of ownership benefits for its  customers.  Megatest
offers interfaces for most wafer probers and IC handlers currently available,
and designs custom interfaces for others as necessary.


CUSTOMERS AND MARKETS

         The Company believes that once an IC manufacturer has selected a
particular ATE vendor's tester for a generation of ICs, and made the
substantial investment required to develop test program software and
interfaces, the manufacturer will tend to purchase testers from that ATE vendor
for the entire generation of ICs, and subsequent generations of similar ICs as
well.  Accordingly, Megatest expends substantial efforts to maintain its
relationship with its existing key customers in order to increase the
likelihood that these manufacturers will continue to select the Company's
testers for their future generations of ICs.

         Sales to four customers accounted for approximately 67% of net
revenues in fiscal 1993, sales to four customers accounted for approximately
71% of net revenues in fiscal 1994, and sales to three customers accounted for
approximately 58% of net revenues in fiscal 1995.  In particular, sales to
Texas Instruments, Inc., which purchases logic and memory testers, accounted
for approximately 27%, 34% and 25% of net revenues, respectively, during those
periods; sales to Intel Corporation, which purchases memory testers, accounted
for approximately 10%, 15% and 19% of net revenues, respectively, during those
periods; and sales to Samsung Electronics





                                                                               3
   5

Company, which purchases memory and logic testers, accounted for approximately
10%, 4% and 14% of net revenues during those periods.  The Company expects that
sales of its products to TI, Intel and Samsung will continue to account for a
high percentage of net revenues in the foreseeable future, and believes that
its success depends in large part upon the success of the ICs being tested by
these and other key customers.  The loss of a major customer or a reduction in
orders by such customers, including reductions due to market or competitive
conditions in the IC industry, would have an adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations.  In addition, the Company's ability to increase its
sales will depend in part upon its ability to obtain orders from new customers.
No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to do so.

         As of August 31, 1995, the Company's backlog of scheduled but unfilled
orders was approximately $51.1 million, compared with approximately $16.2
million as of August 31, 1994.  Substantially all of the backlog as of August
31, 1995 is expected to be shipped in fiscal 1996.  The Company includes in
backlog only those orders for which a signed purchase order has been received
from the customer and for which a delivery schedule has been specified.  All
orders are subject to cancellation by the customer with limited charges.
Because of orders received for test systems to be shipped in the same quarter
and possible customer changes in delivery schedules and cancellation of orders,
the Company's backlog at a particular date is not necessarily indicative of
actual sales for any succeeding period.

         The Company's business depends upon the capital expenditures of
manufacturers of ICs and products utilizing ICs.  The IC industry is highly
cyclical and has historically experienced recurring periods of oversupply,
which often have had a severe negative effect on the IC industry's demand for
test equipment.  The Company's business and operating results in prior years
were adversely affected by industry-wide downturns.  In recent years, the
Company's revenues have increased substantially, reflecting increased demand
for ICs by manufacturers of computers and other electronics systems.  There can
be no assurance as to how long demand for ICs will continue to increase, and
the Company believes that the market for semiconductor capital equipment will
continue to be susceptible to significant fluctuations.  In particular, the
Company experienced a drastic reduction in new orders from major memory and
logic customers during the first quarter of fiscal 1995, followed by record
orders for the final three quarters of fiscal 1995 and record revenues in the
third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1995.  Although the Company attempts to
mitigate the risk of cyclicality in the IC industry and changes in any segment
of the industry by participating in both the memory and logic IC testing
markets, factors affecting both markets such as reduced demand by computer
manufacturers would, and factors adversely affecting either market or
particular segments within either market could, adversely affect the Company's
business and financial performance.  No assurance can be given that the
Company's revenues and operating results will not be materially and adversely
affected if slowdowns or changes in the IC industry occur, especially if both
the memory and logic IC markets experience slowdowns at the same time.

SALES, SERVICE AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT

         Megatest sells and services its products worldwide, primarily through
its own sales and support organization and through independent representatives
in certain areas of the world.  Megatest provides its customers with
comprehensive support and service before, during and after delivery of its
products. As is typical for the ATE industry, Megatest experiences a long
sales cycle for new customers and new products.  To support the sales process
and enhance customer relationships, the Company endeavors to add value prior to
selling a test system by working closely with the prospective customers to
develop hardware and software test specifications and benchmarks, and often
designs customized applications to enable customers to evaluate its testers.

         Prior to system shipment, Megatest's support personnel assist the
customer in site preparation and inspection and provide customers with training
at Megatest's facility or on-site.  The customer's employees receive
instruction both in system hardware and in software tools developed
specifically for writing and debugging test programs for the Company's systems.
The Company's customer training program also includes instruction in the
maintenance of its testers.  In addition, the Company's support personnel
assist the customer in the development of software test programs and
handler/prober interface designs customized for the ICs to be tested.  The
Company's field support personnel work closely with the customer's employees to
install the system and demonstrate system readiness.

         The Company typically provides a one-year warranty against defects in
its testers, computer peripherals and related system components, and offers its
customers additional support after the warranty period in the form of





                                                                               4
   6

maintenance contracts for specified time periods.  The Company's service
personnel perform necessary maintenance of the Company's products, including
module repair, hardware and software problem resolution, preventive maintenance
and field upgrades.  Megatest also provides after-sales support in the form of
engineering assistance for developing testing techniques and test plans for
particular applications.  The Company believes that its ability to provide
complete solutions to testing problems enhances its ability to sell multiple
systems to the same customer and, in general, assists the Company in the
development of its future products.

         During fiscal 1994 and 1995, export sales, primarily to customers in
the Asia-Pacific region, accounted for 52% and 58% of net revenues,
respectively.  The Company's export sales are generally made in United States
dollars or dollar equivalents.  To support its customers, Megatest maintains
customer support centers at its San Jose, California headquarters and in 13
other offices located near key customer sites in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho,
Minnesota, Massachusetts, New York and Texas in the United States; in Korea,
Singapore, Taiwan and the Philippines in the Far East; and in France.

ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

         The market for IC testing is characterized by rapid technological
change.  The Company believes that continued and timely development and
introduction of new products and enhancements to existing products are
essential for the Company to maintain its competitive position.  Accordingly,
Megatest has allocated in the past, and expects to continue to allocate in the
future, significant resources to engineering and product development
activities.  The Company's products must be available on a timely and
cost-effective basis to enable customers to integrate them into their
operations as they begin volume manufacturing of the next generation of ICs.
Failure to have a competitive tester available when required by an IC
manufacturer could make it substantially more difficult for the Company to sell
testers to that manufacturer for a number of years. The Company has in the past
experienced delays in introducing certain of its products and enhancements, and
there can be no assurance that it will not encounter technical or other
difficulties that could in the future delay the introduction of new products or
enhancements.

         The Company works closely with its customers to define new product
features and to identify emerging applications for its products.  A significant
portion of the Company's current efforts are focused on two new products: the
recently introduced Vega series logic tester, and the Company's next-generation
memory tester.  In addition, the Company continues to focus engineering and
product development resources on product features and product upgrades in each
of  the memory and logic test product lines, involving activities in
mechanical, electrical and software design.  The Company's inability to
complete the development of its new products or its inability to manufacture
and ship these products in volume and in time to meet the requirements for
testing the next generation of ICs could adversely affect the Company.  There
can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in the introduction and
volume manufacture of its new products, that such introduction will coincide
with the development by IC manufacturers of their next generation of ICs, or
that such products will satisfy customer needs or achieve market acceptance.
In addition, the Company may incur substantial costs to ensure the
functionality and reliability of its next-generation testers, including the
Vega series, early in their product life-cycles.  Any of such events would
adversely affect the Company's business.  Furthermore, announcements by the
Company or its competitors of new products could cause customers to defer
purchases of the Company's existing products, which would also adversely affect
the Company.

         Engineering and product development expenses were $12.2 million, $15.9
million and $20.2 million in fiscal 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
Included in fiscal 1995 expenses was approximately $2.2 million attributable to
the Company's engineering and product development activity in Minnesota.  The
Company acquired this activity in connection with its acquisition of the
Voyager product line from MCT.  In addition, the Company wrote off $8.8 million
of in-process technology in connection with the Voyager product line
acquisition.

MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIERS

         The Company's manufacturing strategy is to perform only those
manufacturing activities which yield the greatest added value or which require
unique technology or specialized knowledge.  The Company seeks to subcontract
all other manufacturing activities to established fabricators and assemblers
who can perform these activities more cost-effectively.  The Company's
principal in-house manufacturing activities consist of subassembly testing,
final system integration and test.





                                                                               5
   7

         The Company relies on Solectron Corporation as well as other outside
contractors to procure components and assemble them into the highly-complex
circuit boards used by the Company in its testers. These circuit boards, which
are manufactured to the Company's design specifications, constitute a
significant portion of the Company's testers.  This arrangement provides the
Company with access to advanced circuit board manufacturing technology without
requiring the Company to expend significant resources to acquire, develop and
maintain such technology.  Assembly of these circuit boards is an extremely
complex process.  The Company's reliance on Solectron in particular and other
outside contractors in general involves several risks, including reduced
control over pricing and timely delivery of components.  While the timeliness,
yield and quality of deliveries to date from the Company's outside contractors
have been acceptable, the Company has experienced delays in deliveries and
quality problems, which have adversely affected the Company's ability to ship
products, and there can be no assurance that manufacturing problems will not
occur in the future.

         The Company uses standard components and prefabricated parts
manufactured to its design specifications.  Most components are available from
a number of different suppliers, although certain components and subassemblies
are obtained from a single supplier or a limited  group of suppliers.  The
Company has experienced, and may in the future experience, delays in obtaining
adequate supplies of certain Ics and other components and sub-assemblies used
in its current products and products under development, and in some cases the
Company has been required to modify the design of its products to address the
inability to obtain components.  The manufacture of many of the Company's sole
and limited source components is extremely complex.  The Company's reliance on
the suppliers of these components exposes it to production difficulties and
yield and quality variations experienced by these suppliers.  Although the
Company seeks to reduce its dependence on its sole and limited source
suppliers, and attempts to maintain an adequate inventory of all single-source
components, disruption or termination of certain of these sources could occur
and could have an adverse effect on the Company's operating results.  A
prolonged inability to obtain adequate yields or deliveries from its sole or
limited source suppliers, or any other circumstance that would require the
Company to seek alternative sources of supply or to manufacture its circuit
boards or other components internally, would significantly delay shipments of
the Company's products and have an adverse effect on the Company's operating
results.



COMPETITION

         The integrated circuit ATE industry is highly competitive.  Megatest
faces substantial competition throughout the world, primarily from ATE
manufacturers in the United States and Japan.  The Company's primary
competitors in the memory IC testing market are Advantest Corporation,
Teradyne, Inc., Minato Electronics, Inc., Ando Electric Co., Ltd.  and Asia
Electronics, Inc., and in the logic IC testing market are Advantest
Corporation, Teradyne, Inc., Schlumberger Limited, LTX Corporation,
Hewlett-Packard Company and Credence Systems Corporation.  Many of the
Company's competitors have substantially greater financial resources, more
extensive engineering, manufacturing, marketing and customer service and
support capabilities, and greater name recognition than the Company.  Megatest
expects its competitors to continue to improve the performance of their current
products and to introduce new products with improved price and performance
characteristics.  From time to time the Company's testers are sold as used
equipment at prices substantially below the prices of new testers sold by the
Company.  Such sales of used testers may materially and adversely affect the
Company's sale of new testers.  Certain of the Company's customers, including
IBM and TI, have also developed testers.

         The principal elements of competition in the Company's markets include
price, product performance and throughput capability, quality and reliability,
customer service and support including the availability of applications
packages.  Although the Company believes that it competes favorably with
respect to each of these factors, new product introductions by the Company's
competitors could cause a decline in sales or loss of market acceptance of the
Company's existing products.  The Company believes that to remain competitive,
it will require significant financial resources in order to invest in new
product development, to introduce next generation memory and logic test systems
on a timely basis, and to maintain customer service and support centers
worldwide.  In addition, increased competitive pressure could lead to
intensified price-based competition, resulting in lower prices and adversely
affecting the Company's operating results.  In particular, at the end of a
product life cycle and as competitors introduce more technologically advanced
products, pricing pressure for that product typically becomes more intense.
There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to compete
successfully in the future.





                                                                               6

         Japanese IC manufacturers have a dominant share of the market for
DRAMs and certain other types of ICs for which the Company's testers are used.
Japanese ATE manufacturers are well-established in the Japanese ATE market, and
it is difficult for non-Japanese test equipment companies to penetrate the
Japanese ATE market.  To date, the Company has not established itself as a
major competitor in the Japanese ATE market.  There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to achieve significant sales to Japanese IC
manufacturers.

PATENTS AND LICENSES

         The Company holds seven United States patents.  Although the Company
believes that these patents may have value, the Company also believes that its
future success will depend primarily on the technical competence and creative
skills of its personnel, rather than on its patents.  However, in the absence
of patent protection, the Company may be vulnerable to competitors who attempt
to imitate the Company's products.  In addition, other companies and inventors
may receive patents that contain claims applicable to the Company's products.
The sale of the Company's products covered by such patents could require
licenses that may not be available on acceptable terms.

         As is typical in its industry, the Company has at times been notified
of claims that it may be infringing patents issued to others.  Historically,
the Company has been able to negotiate licenses on terms which it believes are
reasonable.  With respect to one claim pending against the Company, see Item 3
of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  No assurance can be given that
infringement claims by third parties in the future will not materially and
adversely affect the Company's business and operating results.

EMPLOYEES

         As of August 31, 1995, the Company had a total of 580 full-time
employees.   In addition, the Company had 81 consultants and agency
temporaries.  Many of the Company's employees are highly skilled, and the
Company believes its future success will depend in large part on its ability to
attract and retain such employees.  None of the Company's employees are
represented by a labor union, and the Company has experienced no work
stoppages.  The Company considers its employee relations to be good.

         The Company's future success depends in part upon its ability to
attract and retain qualified management, technical, sales and support personnel
for its operations.  Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can
be no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting or retaining
such personnel.  The loss of any key employee, the failure of any key employee
to perform in their current positions or the Company's inability to attract and
retain new skilled employees as needed could materially and adversely affect
the Company's performance.





                                                                               7

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

         The Company maintains its headquarters in San Jose, California.  This
facility, totaling 112,000 square feet, contains corporate administration,
sales and customer support, manufacturing and engineering.  In addition, the
Company executed a lease in August 1995 for 17,000 square feet adjacent to its
corporate headquarters.  This facility will house sales and certain customer
service departments. The lease on this facility expires in September 1997.  In
the United States, the Company maintains seven sales and customer support
offices in Newton, Massachusetts; Austin, Texas; Dallas, Texas; Monument,
Colorado; Fishkill, New York; Boise, Idaho and Phoenix, Arizona, and an
engineering operation in Fridley, Minnesota.  Sales and customer support are
also provided in five additional facilities located in Europe and the Far East.
The Company believes that its existing facilities are adequate to meet its
current and foreseeable requirements and that suitable additional or substitute
space will be available as needed.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On March 27, 1995, Credence Systems Corporation ("Credence") named the
Company as a defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit originally filed by
Credence against MCT in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
California (the "Court").  The suit alleges that the Company's manufacture and
sale of certain Voyager assets acquired by the Company from MCT infringe a U.S.
patent held by Credence.  On April 24, 1995, the Company filed with the Court a
counterclaim against Credence for a declaratory judgment that the Credence
patent is invalid and unenforceable, and that the manufacture and sale of
Voyager assets do not infringe the Credence patent.  Although the outcome of
any litigation is uncertain, the Company believes that the resolution of such
matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating
results or financial condition.


ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.





                                                                               8

         The Company believes that factors such as announcements of
developments related to the Company's business, quarterly fluctuations in the
Company's financial results and general conditions in the IC equipment
industry, the IC industry or the economy could cause the price of the Company's
Common Stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially.  In addition, in recent years
the stock market in general, and the market for shares of small capitalization
stocks in particular, have experienced extreme price fluctuations, which have
often been unrelated to the operating performance of affected companies.  Many
companies in the IC equipment industry, including the Company, have recently
experienced historical highs in the market prices of their common stock.  No
assurance can be given that the market price of the Company's Common Stock will
not experience significant fluctuations in the future, including fluctuations
which are unrelated to the Company's performance.

BENEFICIAL OWNERS

         As of October 13, 1995, there were approximately 1,900 beneficial
owners of the Common Stock.

DIVIDENDS

         To date, the Company has not paid any cash dividends on shares of its
Common Stock.  The Company presently intends to retain all future earnings for
its business and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its Common Stock
in the foreseeable future.





                                                                               9

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

         Megatest was founded in 1975 and introduced its first product, which
tested both memory and logic ICs, in 1976.  Since then, the Company has sold
approximately 2,850 testers to manufacturers of memory and logic ICs as well as
to IC customers such as electronic systems manufacturers.  The Company's
strategy has been to participate in both the memory and logic IC test markets,
to help reduce the effects of cyclicality in each of these markets.  The
Company's principal product lines are its Genesis memory test systems and its
Polaris, Vega and Voyager logic test systems.

         Megatest's net revenues increased in fiscal 1993 and 1994 principally
due to demand for memory ICs, particularly FLASH memories and DRAMs.  Increased
sales of the Company's memory testers more than offset a decline in sales of
logic testers to IBM, which significantly reduced its purchases from the
Company during fiscal 1993, due in part to the Company's completion of
development agreements for the Polaris and declines in the market for the
mainframe computers which used the logic ICs tested by Polaris testers.  In
addition, memory product sales in fiscal 1994 were enhanced by the introduction
in the second quarter of the Genesis G-III tester.

         The Company believes that its sales growth in recent years has been
due in large part to strong demand by manufacturers of personal computers for
ICs tested by the Company's products, and expects to remain susceptible to the
volatility of the computer market.  During the first two quarters of fiscal
1995, the Company experienced a severe slowdown in sales of all of the
Company's products and from all of its major customers.  Sales of both logic
and memory products began to rebound late in the second quarter of fiscal 1995,
to customers in all geographic areas, and the Company achieved record incoming
orders in each of the final three quarters of fiscal 1995.  The Company
returned to quarterly profitability in the third quarter.

         On November 22, 1994, the Company acquired the 1149 Tester product
line and follow-on in-process technology (the "Voyager") from Micro Component
Technology, Inc. ("MCT") for $13.9 million, which includes acquisition related
expenses of $1.1 million.  The purchase of the product line included
substantially all of the assets and intellectual property and the assumption of
certain liabilities, approximating $2.1 million, associated with the Voyager.
As a result of the acquisition of the Voyager, the Company recorded a one-time
write-off of in-process technology of $8.8 million, which contributed to the
Company's losses in its first quarter and for the fiscal year ended August 31,
1995.  Excluding the one-time write-off of in-process technology, the results
of operations for the Voyager product line from the date of acquisition through
August 31, 1995 increased Megatest's loss from operations approximately $2.4
million.

         On September 5, 1995, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement
with Teradyne and Merger Sub.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the
satisfaction of all closing conditions, Megatest will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Teradyne.  See Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Net Revenues

         The Company's net revenues increased from $78.4 million in fiscal 1993
to $100.3 million in fiscal 1994 and decreased to $97.5 million in fiscal 1995.
The increase in fiscal 1994 was primarily attributable to increased sales of
memory testers, which grew 45% from fiscal 1993, while sales of logic testers
increased 13%.  The Company encountered a slowdown in sales in early fiscal
1995.  During the first half of fiscal 1995, sales of all of the Company's
products, in all geographic areas, were well below the comparable periods of
fiscal 1994.  However, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 1995, orders
for all products rebounded significantly, enabling the Company to achieve
record net revenues for the final two quarters of fiscal 1995.  The increased
demand for the Company's products is attributable to increased demand for FLASH
memories and DRAMs from customers using the Company's memory testers and for
DSP devices from customers using the Company's logic testers.  Memory testers
as a percentage of systems revenue has increased from 55% in fiscal 1993 to 61%
in fiscal 1994 and 68% in fiscal 1995.  Service revenue, which includes product
revenue from sales of spare parts and service contracts, was 24% of total
revenue in fiscal 1995, compared to 18% in fiscal 1994 and 20% in fiscal 1993.
Service revenue is expected to continue to represent a significant portion of
the Company's revenue as the installed base of testers increases and as a
result of the Company's continued emphasis on the sales of spare parts, custom
interfaces and service contracts.

Gross Margin

         The Company's gross margin increased from 43.8% in fiscal 1993 to
44.0% in fiscal 1994, reflecting a shift in product sales mix from Polaris
logic testers to higher margin Genesis IIex memory testers, offset by
incremental manufacturing costs incurred in bringing the Genesis G-III tester
to market.  The Company's gross margin decreased to 38.9% in fiscal 1995, due
to the low sales volume during the first half of fiscal 1995.  Manufacturing
spending could not be scaled back during the first half of fiscal 1995 in
proportion to the decline in revenues.  Also, in the latter part of fiscal
1995, the Company encountered delays in receiving certain critical components
and sub-assemblies which caused the Company to incur higher levels of overtime
and to incur certain incremental costs to expedite deliveries of these parts in
order to meet customers' demand.  It is anticipated that such component
availability issues will continue into fiscal 1996, and thus may result in
continuing costs associated with overtime, expedite fees and other related
incremental production costs.  In addition, the Company expects to incur
certain costs associated with the production ramp of the Vega series logic
tester and the introduction of its next generation memory during fiscal 1996.
Accordingly, the Company expects its gross margin





                                                                              12
   14

in fiscal 1996 to continue to be below fiscal 1994 levels until the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1996, and for the year as a whole.

  Engineering and Product Development Expense

         The Company's engineering and product development expense increased
from $12.2 million in fiscal 1993 to $15.9 million in fiscal 1994 and to $20.2
million in fiscal 1995.  Engineering and product development expense, net of
development revenues, increased from $11.6 million in fiscal 1993 to $15.0
million in fiscal 1994 and to $20.2 million in fiscal 1995.  Such net expense,
which represents the Company's internally funded development efforts, reflects
the Company's commitment to maintaining a high level of engineering and product
development effort to enhance its competitive position.  Engineering and
product development expense in fiscal 1995 includes approximately $2.2 million
related to the Voyager engineering organization in St. Paul, Minnesota. The low
sales volume achieved during the first two quarters of the year further
contributed to the percentage increase in engineering and product development
from 15.8% of revenue in fiscal 1994 to 20.7% in fiscal 1995.  The Company
considered the slowdown in the first half of fiscal 1995 to be temporary and
thus did not scale back critical long-term resources in proportion with the
shortfall in incoming orders.  The Company intends to continue to invest
significant resources in the development of next-generation products for both
memory and logic applications, and thus expects engineering and product
development expenses in fiscal 1996 to increase as compared to fiscal 1995.

  Selling, General and Administrative Expense

         Selling, general and administrative expense increased from $16.0
million in fiscal 1993 to $18.1 million in fiscal 1994 and to $21.4 million in
fiscal 1995.  The increase is attributable primarily to an increase in
headcount from 148 at August 31, 1994 to 162 at August 31, 1995.  In
particular, the Company expanded its hiring efforts in the sales, marketing and
service organizations in support of its continued emphasis on expanding its
customer base and in response to the higher sales levels achieved during the
second half of fiscal 1995.  As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general
and administrative expenses declined from 20.4% of revenue in fiscal 1993 to
18.1% in 1994 and increased to 21.9% in 1995.  The primary cause of the
percentage increase in fiscal 1995 was the low sales volume achieved during the
first two quarters of the year.  The Company considered the slowdown in the
first half of fiscal 1995 to be temporary and thus did not scale back critical
long-term resources in proportion with the shortfall in incoming orders.  The
Company expects selling, general and administrative expense to decline as a
percentage of net revenues in fiscal 1996.

  Other Income and Expense

         Net other expense consists primarily of interest expense on notes
payable and long-term obligations and the amortization of goodwill related to
the acquisition of the Voyager, offset by interest income from the investment
of the Company's cash balances.  In fiscal 1993, funds from the Company's
initial public offering in May 1993 were used to repay debt.  Interest income
was generated from the investment of the remaining funds and the proceeds of
the Company's second public offering in October 1993, resulting in net interest
income of $1.3 million in fiscal 1994.  In fiscal 1995, net other expense
totaled $0.2 million as the Company's cash balances were utilized for the MCT
acquisition and to fund operations.  In addition, the Company borrowed $22.4
million during fiscal 1995, resulting in additional interest expense.

  Income Taxes

         Effective September 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), "Accounting for
Income Taxes."  FAS 109 is an asset and liability approach that requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial
statements or income tax returns.  In estimating future tax consequences, FAS
109 generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of
changes in the tax law or rates.  Previously, the Company used the FAS 96 asset
and liability approach that gave no recognition to future events other than the
recovery of assets and settlement of liabilities at their carrying amounts.
The cumulative effect of adopting FAS 109 resulted in a one-time credit to
fiscal 1994 net income of $1.7 million or $0.24 per share.





                                                                              13
   15

         In connection with adopting FAS 109, management fully reserved net
deferred tax assets that may be realized beyond one year after the date of
adoption because of the uncertainty regarding their realization.  At August 31,
1995, management again fully reserved deferred tax assets which may be realized
beyond the ensuing twelve-month period because of the uncertainty regarding
their realization.

         The Company's effective tax rate for fiscal 1995 was 3% (benefit)
compared to 21% for fiscal 1994 and 11% for fiscal 1993.  The low benefit rate
in fiscal 1995 was due primarily to losses incurred early in the year.  A
substantial portion of the benefit has not been recognized due to the
uncertainty of its realization.  The Company's tax rate in the third and fourth
quarters of fiscal 1995 was 22.5% as the Company returned to profitability.
The Company expects its tax rate to increase to approximately 25% in fiscal
1996, although the actual effective tax rate achieved will vary depending on
the level of profitability realized.  The lower rates achieved in prior years
were due primarily to unrestricted utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards.





                                                                              14
   16

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Operating activities provided net cash of $5.3 million and $5.1
million in fiscal 1993 and 1994, respectively, and used cash of $13.1 million
in fiscal 1995.  Cash flow from operations in fiscal 1993 was primarily
attributable to net income in that year.  In fiscal 1994, cash generated by net
income was partially offset by the Company's investment in inventory for
certain strategic programs designed to bolster relationships with major
customers and an increase in accounts receivable caused by a disproportionate
percentage of shipments occurring late in the fiscal year.  In fiscal 1995, net
cash used for operations was primarily attributable to the Company's net loss
and to further increases in inventories and accounts receivable, offset by a
non-cash write-off of acquired in-process technology and depreciation and
amortization and by increased accounts payable and accrued liabilities.  The
increase in inventory in fiscal 1995 was primarily to facilitate anticipated
new product shipments, to meet expected shipment levels, and to increase
service and spares inventory to support the Company's growing installed base of
testers, while the increase in accounts receivable was related to a
disproportionate percentage of shipments occurring late in the fiscal year.

         Investing activities, other than purchases of short-term investments,
consisted of property and equipment purchases and, in fiscal 1995, the purchase
of the Voyager product line from MCT.  Investing activities used net cash of
$13.3 million, $16.7 million and $18.3 million in fiscal 1993, 1994 and 1995,
respectively.  The purchase of securities pledged as collateral under the
Company's San Jose facility leases used $7.7 million of cash in fiscal 1994,
and the termination in fiscal 1995 of the leases (see below) provided $7.7
million in cash.  Net purchases of short-term investments used $7.9 million and
$2.1 million of cash in fiscal 1993 and 1994, respectively, and net sales of
short-term investments provided $10.1 million in fiscal 1995. During 1995, the
Company purchased its general operating facilities and land for $8.6 million
and purchased evaluation and test equipment associated with new products
totalling approximately $6.2 million.

         Financing activities provided net cash of $18.4 million, $13.7 million
and $23.6 million in fiscal 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.  The Company's
initial public offering of its common stock in May 1993 provided $23.9 million
in fiscal 1993.  The Company used $3.4 million from the proceeds of its initial
public offering to pay $1.6 million on its working capital lines of credit and
$1.8 million of equipment notes payable during fiscal 1993.  A second public
offering of common stock in October 1994 provided $13.6 million in fiscal 1994.
The Company borrowed a total of $22.4 million during fiscal 1995 under its
working capital lines of credit, a new $5.5 million real estate mortgage and
$6.9 million in equipment financing.

         At August 31, 1995, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments were $11.6 million, compared to $29.5 million at August
31, 1994.  The decrease primarily reflects the cash used to acquire the Voyager
from MCT and to fund operations during fiscal 1995.  The Company maintains a
$10.0 million bank line of credit which expires in January 1996.  The agreement
provides for borrowings not to exceed 80% of eligible domestic accounts
receivable.  The Company also maintains an additional $5.0 million line of
credit guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United States to support
export sales.  This agreement provides for borrowings not to exceed 90% of
eligible foreign accounts receivable plus 70% of eligible inventory to support
such receivables.  Borrowings under these lines bear interest at prime (8.75%
at August 31, 1995) plus 1.0% and 0.5% for the domestic and export lines of
credit, respectively, and are collateralized by a security interest in
substantially all of the Company's previously unencumbered tangible and
intangible assets.  The terms of the credit agreements require, among other
terms, quarterly profitability, minimum amounts of tangible net worth, a
minimum ratio of current assets to current liabilities, and a maximum ratio of
indebtedness to net worth.  The credit agreements also preclude the Company
from taking certain actions without prior bank approval.  Transactions subject
to such prohibition include the declaration of cash dividends, certain
significant asset acquisitions or dispositions, incurrence of certain
additional indebtedness, and changing the nature of the Company's business.  At
August 31, 1995, the Company had borrowed $10.0 million under these lines of
credit.

         During August, 1995, the Company entered into two agreements for
additional working capital.  The Company entered into a four-year, $1.9 million
loan agreement to finance certain of the Company's testers used for customer
demonstrations.  The loan bears interest at 8.4%.  The Company also obtained a
four-year, $5.0 million loan secured by substantially all of the Company's
previously unencumbered fixed assets and bearing interest at approximately 9.5%
and payable in forty eight equal monthly installments.  Each of these
agreements contains cross-default provisions with the Company's bank lines of
credit.






                                                                              15
   17
         On August 25, 1995, the Company purchased its general operating
facilities and land in San Jose that was previously leased for $8.6 million.
As a result of the transaction, the Company removed certain restrictions on
$7.7 million of cash which was pledged as collateral under the first-loss
guarantee of the terminated operating lease.  The Company used approximately
$3.3 million of the cash and a $5.5 million mortgage, secured by the property
to acquire the land and building and to pay associated transaction fees.  The
mortgage loan bears interest at a rate of 8.125% per annum and is payable in 59
monthly installments of approximately $50,000 with a $4.6 million balloon
payment in the final month. sam

         As of August 31, 1995, the Company had net working capital of
approximately $44.9 million, including $31.4 million of accounts receivable and
$38.1 million of inventories.  The Company believes that because of the
relatively long manufacturing cycle of its testers, and due to lengthening
vendor lead times on certain critical components used in the manufacture of the
Company's products, the Company's investment in inventories will continue to
represent a significant portion of working capital.

         The Company's principal sources of liquidity as of August 31, 1995
consisted of approximately $11.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and $5.0
million of borrowings available under its domestic line of credit.  The
Company's liquidity is affected by many factors, including internal factors
associated with normal, on-going operations, and external factors related to
market dynamics and global economies.  Although the Company's cash requirements
will fluctuate based on the nature, timing, and extent of these factors, the
Company believes that its cash flow from operations together with its cash,
cash equivalents  and available credit will be sufficient to meet both working
capital and capital expenditure requirements throughout fiscal 1996.





                                                                              16
   18

FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

         The Company's future revenues and operating results could fluctuate
significantly from quarter to quarter due to a combination of factors,
including the mix between and configuration of memory and logic testers sold in
a particular quarter.  Given the relatively large selling price of the
Company's testers, sales of a limited number of testers account for a
substantial portion of revenues in any particular quarter and a single
transaction could therefore have a significant impact on revenues and gross
margins for that quarter.  The Company's backlog at the beginning of each
quarter generally does not include orders for all tester sales needed to
achieve the Company's objectives for that quarter.  Consequently, the Company
depends on obtaining orders for shipment in the same quarter that the purchase
order is received.  Furthermore, a substantial portion of the Company's net
revenues have historically been realized near the end of the quarter.
Accordingly, the failure to receive anticipated orders or delays in shipments,
particularly those related to Polaris or Vega logic testers, near the end of a
quarter, due, for example, to unanticipated customer delays or cancellations or
to manufacturing difficulties experienced by the Company or delays in
deliveries by suppliers, may cause quarterly net revenues to fall significantly
short of the Company's objectives, which would adversely affect the Company's
operating results.

         The Company experienced significant quarterly fluctuations in its net
revenues in prior fiscal years.  The Company believes that such fluctuations in
part reflect capital equipment buying patterns in the IC industry.  In
particular, the Company experienced reduced order levels in the first five
months of fiscal 1995, which had an adverse effect on operating results in the
first half of fiscal 1995. There can be no assurance that such an order
weakness will not recur or that such a weakness will not materially and
adversely affect future revenues and operating results.

         The markets served by the Company are characterized by rapid
technological change, intense competition, increasingly precise customer
specifications and global service requirements.  The Company's future success
will depend in part on its ability to meet these inherent challenges and
maintain a competitive advantage in both the products and services it provides.
The need for continued investment in research and development, for capital
requirements and for extensive ongoing customer service and support capability
worldwide result in significant fixed costs which will be difficult to reduce
in the event that the Company does not meet its operating objectives, as was
the case in the first half of fiscal 1995.  The Company's future results may be
affected by the actions of existing or future competitors, including the
development of new technologies, new product introductions and intensified
price-based competition.  In addition, adverse changes in general economic
conditions (both foreign and domestic), the availability of needed components
and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may also affect the Company's future
operating results.

         The Company may in the future pursue acquisitions of complementary
product lines or businesses.  Future acquisitions by the Company may result in
potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurring of
additional debt and amortization expenses related to goodwill and intangible
assets, which could adversely affect the Company's profitability.  In addition,
acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation
of the operations and products of the acquired companies, the diversion of
management's attention from other business concerns, risks of entering markets
in which the Company has no or limited direct prior experience, and the
potential loss of key employees of the acquired Company.  In the event that
such an acquisition does occur, no assurance can be given as to the effect
thereof on the Company's business or operating results.

         Based on the factors described above, recent operating results should
only be one input in evaluating the future financial performance of the
Company.

         In March, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of"
(SFAS 121), which is effective for financial statements for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995.  Management does not believe that  adoption
of SFAS 121 will have a significant impact on the Company's financial position
or results of operations.





                                                                              17

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
    Megatest Corporation:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders' equity and of cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Megatest Corporation and its subsidiaries at August 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for income taxes effective September 1, 1993.

are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to

also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant

statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects the results of operations and cash flows of Megatest

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

NOTE 1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

  Line of business

         Megatest designs, manufactures, markets and services automatic test
equipment for the integrated circuit ("IC") industry.  Megatest currently
offers four product lines, one for testing memory ICs and three for testing
logic ICs.

  Principles of consolidation

         The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions are eliminated.

  Fiscal period

         The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday
in August.  The Company's fiscal years in the accompanying financial statements
have been shown as ending on August 31. Fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993 each
include 52 weeks.

  Cash equivalents and short-term investments

         The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Short-term
investments at August 31, 1994 include commercial paper and T-bills purchased
with a maturity of twelve months or less.

  Inventories

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market.

  Property and equipment

         Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation on equipment,
furniture and fixtures is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, which is generally three to five years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the
lease term.  The building is being depreciated over fifteen years.

  Revenue recognition

         Product sales are recognized upon shipment and are recorded net of
related trade discounts and estimated allowances.  The Company provides for
installation and normal warranty costs at the time the sales are recognized
and, if applicable, for any significant cost to enhance the functionality and
reliability of the installed base when such need becomes known.  Revenues from
development contracts are recognized over the term of the contracts based on
the relation of actual costs incurred to the total estimated cost for
completion.  Revenues from service contracts are recognized ratably over the
service period.





                                                                              25

Income Taxes."  FAS 109 is an asset and liability approach that requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial
statements or income tax returns.  In estimating future tax consequences, FAS
109 generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of
changes in the tax law or rates.  Previously, the Company used the FAS 96 asset
and liability approach that gave no recognition to future events other than the
recovery of assets and settlement of liabilities at their carrying amounts.
The cumulative effect of adopting FAS 109 resulted in a one-time credit to net
income of $1,700 or $0.24 per share and is reported separately in the
consolidated statement of operations.

  Net income per share

         Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares plus common stock equivalent shares from dilutive stock options.

Translation of foreign currency

         The Company's subsidiaries use the U.S. dollar as the functional
currency.  Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated at year-end
exchange rates, except for inventories and property and equipment, which are
translated at historical rates.  Revenues and expenses are translated at
average exchange rates in effect during the year, except for costs related to
those balance sheet items which are translated at historical rates.  Foreign
currency transaction gains and losses are included in income as they occur.

  Concentration of credit risk

         Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash
equivalents and trade accounts receivable.

         The Company invests in a variety of financial instruments such as
certificates of deposit, commercial paper, municipal debt and U.S. Government
agency debt.  The Company, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposures to
any one financial institution or commercial issuer.

         The Company sells its systems to semiconductor manufacturers and
manufacturers of computers and other electronic systems throughout the world.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers.  The
Company maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based upon
expected collectibility of all accounts receivable.

NOTE 5.  PRODUCT LINE ACQUISITION:

         On November 22, 1994, the Company acquired the 1149 Tester product
line and follow-on in-process technology (the "Voyager") of Micro Component
Technology, Inc. ("MCT").  The assets acquired include substantially all of the
equipment, inventory and intellectual property including the follow-on
in-process technology, and the assumption of certain liabilities associated
with the Voyager.  Of the amount paid, $2,000 was placed in escrow (i) to
indemnify the Company in the event of a breach of any of the representations
and warranties made by MCT in the purchase agreement, (ii) to secure
performance of MCT's obligations under the purchase agreement, and (iii) to
insure against any shortfalls discovered in the equipment or inventory intended
to be acquired through the Company's post-closing audit of the assets acquired.

         The acquisition of the Voyager has been accounted for as a purchase
and, accordingly, the results of operations and cash flows of the Voyager have
been included only from the date of acquisition.  Excluding the one-time
write-off of in-process technology of $8,837, the results of operations for the
Voyager from the date of acquisition through August 31, 1995 increased
Megatest's loss from operations by approximately $2,400.  The total purchase
price of the acquisition was as follows:

         The allocation of the Company's purchase price to the tangible and
identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on an
independent appraisal.  A final allocation of the purchase price will be
determined when matters relating to the escrow deposit are settled.  The
preliminary purchase price allocation is summarized as follows:

         The in-process technology was charged to income during the quarter
ended November 30, 1994.  Unaudited proforma combined net revenues of the
Company and the Voyager for the years ended August 31 1995 and 1994 were
$100,652 and $111,261, respectively.  Proforma combined net income (loss) and
proforma combined net income (loss) per share were not materially different
from the amounts reported in the accompanying statement of operations.  In
addition, the Company purchased 315,790 shares of MCT's nonvoting Series A
Preferred Stock at a price of $4.75 per share for a total of $1,500 cash on
November 23, 1994.  The investment in equity securities is recorded at fair
market value, which approximates its cost, and is included in other assets at
August 31, 1995.

NOTE 6.  NOTES PAYABLE:

         The Company maintains a $10,000 domestic bank line of credit which
expires in January 1996.  The line of credit agreement provides for borrowings
up to the lesser of 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable or the $10,000
committed credit amount.  In addition, the Company maintains an additional
$5,000 line of credit guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United States
to support export sales.  This agreement provides for borrowings up to the
lesser of 90% of eligible foreign accounts receivable plus 70% of eligible
inventory to support such receivables, or the $5,000 committed credit amount.
Borrowings under these lines bear interest at prime (8.75% at August 31, 1995)
plus 1.0% and 0.5% for the domestic and export lines of credit, respectively,
and are collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of the
Company's previously unencumbered tangible and intangible assets.  The terms of
the credit agreements require, among other terms, quarterly profitability,
minimum amounts of tangible net worth, a minimum ratio of current assets to
current liabilities, and a maximum ratio of indebtedness to net worth.  The
credit agreements preclude the Company from taking certain actions without
prior bank approval.  Transactions subject to such prohibition include the
declaration of cash dividends, certain significant asset acquisitions or
dispositions, incurrence of certain additional indebtedness, and changing the
nature of the Company's business.  At August 31, 1995, the Company had borrowed
$10,000 under these lines of credit.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


         At August 31, 1995, the Company had net operating loss and credit
carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $7,262 and
$1,755, respectively, and net operating loss and credit carryforwards for state
income tax purposes of $3,950 and $604, respectively.  These carryforwards, if
not utilized to offset future federal taxable income and income taxes payable,
will expire in the years 1999 through 2005.

         In connection with adopting FAS 109, management fully reserved net
deferred tax assets that may be realized beyond one year after the date of
adoption because of the uncertainty regarding their realization.  At the end of
each quarter of fiscal 1995 and 1994, management again fully reserved deferred
tax assets which may be realized beyond the ensuing twelve-month period because
of the uncertainty regarding their realization.  The change in the valuation
allowance attributable to these quarterly reassessments regarding future
taxable income aggregated $1,070 in fiscal 1995 and $1,534 in fiscal 1994.  The
deferred tax assets valuation allowance at August 31, 1995 and 1994 is
attributed to U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets.  The Company had
$13,867 and $9,208 of net deferred tax assets in the U.S. at August 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively.  Management believes sufficient uncertainty exists such
that a valuation allowance of $10,015 and $5,133 against those net deferred tax
assets is required at August 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  When these
reserved deferred tax assets are recognized, they will reduce the Company's
federal and state tax provisions, except for approximately $1,135 related to
the tax benefit of stock options, which will be credited directly to additional
paid-in capital.

         Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Regulations
issued thereunder, the Company's ability to use its net operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards are limited to approximately $3,000 per year as a result
of an "ownership change" in fiscal 1994.

its initial public offering with proceeds to the Company of $23,916, net of
underwriting discounts and offering expenses of $2,681.  In connection with
such offering, all shares of convertible preferred stock converted into 1,211
shares of common stock.  In October 1993, the Company sold an additional 983
shares in a second public offering with proceeds to the Company of $13,575 net
of underwriting discounts and offering expenses of $1,409.

and expire up to ten years after the grant date.  At August 31, 1995, options
to purchase 126 shares of common stock were exercisable and 851 shares were
available for future option grants. Additional information with respect to
stock options follows:

         The Company has an employee stock purchase plan covering most U.S.
employees.  Under the plan, employees may contribute up to 10% of their
compensation to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at 85% of the
stock's fair market value at the beginning or end of each six-month offering
period.  During fiscal 1995, 93 shares were purchased under this plan.

         At August 31, 1995, the Company had reserved shares of common stock
for issuance as follows:

NOTE 10.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN:

         Substantially all full-time employees are entitled to participate in
the Company's Retirement Savings Plan (401(k) Plan).  The Company is not
required to contribute, nor has it contributed, to the Plan.

NOTE 11.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

        In August 1995, the Company terminated its leases for general operating
facilities and land in San Jose, CA.  As a result, certain restrictions were
removed on $7,659 of investments which were previously used as collateral under
the first-loss clause of the terminated leases.



                                                                              32

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


         The Company leases certain facilities under operating leases for terms
of up to five years.  Rent is expensed on a straight line basis over the term
of each lease.  Future minimum commitments under all operating leases at August
31, 1995 are as follows:



         Fiscal year ending August 31:

                                                                             ========


         Rent expense was $960, $953 and $1,626 in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

         On March 27, 1995, Credence Systems Corporation ("Credence") named the
Company as a defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit originally filed by
Credence against MCT in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
California (the "Court").  The suit alleges that the Company's manufacture and
sale of certain Voyager assets acquired by the Company from MCT infringe a U.S.
patent held by Credence.  On April 24, 1995, the Company filed with the Court a
counterclaim against Credence for a declaratory judgment that the Credence
patent is invalid and unenforceable, and that the manufacture and sale of
Voyager assets do not infringe the Credence patent.  Although the outcome of
any litigation is uncertain, the Company believes that the resolution of such
matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating
results or financial condition.

         As is typical in its industry, the Company has at times been notified
of claims that it may be infringing patents issued to others.  Historically,
the Company has been able to negotiate licenses on terms which it believes are
reasonable. No assurance can be given that infringement claims by third parties
in the future will not materially and adversely affect the Company's business
and operating results.

NOTE 12.  REVENUE INFORMATION:

         A significant portion of the Company's revenues are derived from sales
to a limited number of large IC manufacturers.  Three customers accounted for
25%, 19% and 14% (aggregating to 58%) of net revenues in fiscal 1995, four
customers accounted for 34%, 15%, 11% and 11% (aggregating to 71%) of net
revenues in fiscal 1994 and four customers accounted for 27%, 20%, 10% and 10%
(aggregating to 67%) of net revenues in fiscal 1993.  Accounts receivable from
the major customers at August 31, 1995 and 1994 represented 57% and 55% of the
total accounts receivable, respectively.

         Export sales were 58%, 52% and 42% of net revenues in fiscal 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively, including sales to Europe (3%, 5% and 5%) and to
the Far East (55%, 47% and 37%).

NOTE 13.  DEVELOPMENT ARRANGEMENTS:

         Beginning in fiscal 1988, the Company entered into a series of
development contracts, primarily with IBM, for partial funding related to the
development of the Company's Polaris logic tester and certain customer-specific
applications for this product.  The Company recognized development revenues of
$850 and $587 in fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively, under these contracts.
Related development costs were $185 and $197 in fiscal 1994 and 1993,
respectively.  Such costs were included in engineering and product development
expense.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


NOTE 14.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

         On September 5, 1995, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger and Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") with Teradyne, Inc.
("Teradyne") and M Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of Teradyne ("Merger Sub").  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and
upon the satisfaction of all closing conditions, Merger Sub will merge (the
"Merger") with and into Megatest, and Megatest will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Teradyne.

         Upon the closing of the Merger each outstanding share of Megatest
common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.9091 shares of
Teradyne common stock, subject to the following adjustment (.9091 shares, as
adjusted, the "Exchange Ratio"):  (i) if the Final Teradyne Stock Price (as
defined below) is equal to or less than $36.00 per share, no adjustment to the
Exchange Ratio shall be made; (ii) if the Final Teradyne Stock Price is greater
than $36.00 per share then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted pursuant to the
following formula:

                                      1
Exchange Ratio  =  ----------------------------------------
                   (Final Teradyne Stock Price x .02) + .38

but in no event will the Exchange Ratio be greater than .9091 or less than
 .8333.  "Final Teradyne Stock Price" shall mean the average of the closing
prices of Teradyne common stock for the twenty consecutive days on which
Teradyne common stock is traded on The New York Stock Exchange ending on the
fifth calendar day immediately preceding the Special Meeting of Megatest
stockholders held for the purpose of approving the Merger.

         The closing of the transaction is subject to certain conditions,
including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of
1976, as amended, and approval by Megatest's stockholders.  The transaction is
expected to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.

                                                                              38

    (d)  The Company currently pays each nonemployee director:  $1,000 for each
Board of Directors meeting attended in person; $500 for each Board of Directors
meeting attended by teleconference; and $500 for each meeting of a committee of
the Board of Directors.

         Nonemployee directors are entitled to participate in the Director
Option Plan (the "Director Plan").  The Director Plan was adopted by the Board
of Directors in November 1992 and approved by the stockholders in December
1992.  A total of 50,000 shares of Common stock have been reserved for issuance
under the Director Plan.  The Director Plan provides for an automatic grant of
an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock to each new nonemployee
director on the date on which the person first becomes such a director.  Each
such option shall have a term of ten years and vest at a rate of 1/16th of the
shares subject to the option at the end of each three months following the date
of grant.  The exercise price of the option may not be less than 100% of the
fair market value of the Common Stock as determined by the closing price as
reported on the Nasdaq National Market on the last business day prior to the
date of grant.  Options granted under the Director Plan must be exercised
within 60 days of the end of the optionee's tenure as a director of the
Company, or within 12 months after such director's termination by death or
disability.  The Director Plan was adopted to provide options in compliance
with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act to the
nonemployee directors who administer the Company's stock plans.

    (e)  The Company's Compensation Committee currently consists of directors
James W. Bagley and Winston H. Chen, Ph.D.  The Compensation Committee reviews
and approves, subject to approval by the Board of Directors with respect to the
Chief Executive Officer, the compensation of the Company's executive officers
and administers the Company's stock option and purchase plans.  No executive
officer of the Company served on the compensation committee of another entity
or on any other committee of the board of directors of another entity
performing similar functions during the last fiscal year.

    (f)  In March 1994, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the
option agreements held by the Company's executive officers, including each
Named Executive Officer, to accelerate the vesting of options held by such
officers under certain circumstances following a change-in-control.  The
amendment provides that if, within twelve months following a change-in-control,
an executive officer is terminated other than for cause, or such officer
resigns voluntarily for good reason, then any and all options to purchase the
Common Stock held by such officer will become fully vested and exercisable
regardless of whether such options are then exercisable in accordance with
their terms.  However, the amendment prohibits such acceleration if it prevents
the Company from accounting for a business combination as a "pooling of
interests" when such accounting is desired.





                                                                              39
