management, all adjustments (consisting only of adjustments that are
of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair statement of results
have been included. The results for the quarter ended December 31, 1995,
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire
year. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the

3) In August of 1995, the Company repaid the $20.0 million mortgage on its
principal facility.
4) Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the respective
periods, including the assumed net shares issuable upon exercise of stock
options, when dilutive.
A two-for-one stock split was declared by the Board of Directors on
July 24, 1995. The stock split was in the form of a 100% stock dividend.
The dividend was paid on September 29, 1995, to stockholders of record
on August 31, 1995. Earnings per share was calculated on a post-split
basis.

KLA INSTRUMENTS CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Results of Operations
Second Quarter and Six Months of Fiscal 1996 Compared with Second Quarter and
Six Months of Fiscal 1995
Net Sales
Net sales increased 58% and 68%, respectively, for the three and six month
periods ended December 31, 1995 compared to the same periods of the prior
fiscal year. The WISARD business unit was predominantly responsible for the
increase in net sales. The Company attributes the continuing increase in
WISARD's sales primarily to the growing acceptance of the Company's in-line
wafer monitoring equipment that allows semiconductor manufacturers to optimize
device yields. The RAPID business unit, Metrology Group and Automated Test
business unit also recorded significant increases in net sales.
Gross Margin
Gross margins were 54.5% and 54.9%, respectively, for the three and six month
periods ended December 31, 1995 compared to 53.8% and 52.6% for the same
periods of the prior fiscal year. The RAPID Business Unit recorded significant
improvements in gross margin for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 as
compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The Company attributes
this increase primarily to volume efficiencies. The improvement in the gross
margin percentage for the three and six months ended December 31, 1995 was also
due to a favorable product mix as the WISARD business unit's share of total
revenue rose.
Engineering, Research and Development
Engineering, research and development expenses were 10.9% and 10.7% of net
sales, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended December 31,
1995 compared to 8.4% and 9.0% for the same periods of the prior fiscal year.
Net engineering expenditures rose $9.2 million and $16.7 million, respectively,
during the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1995 compared to the
same periods of the prior fiscal year. The Company is concentrating on the
broad opportunities in yield management, including the networking of all
measurement tools in a fab, the development of new measurement tools and the
related software for using those tools. The WISARD business unit accounted for
approximately 40% of the increase in dollar spending. The next largest dollar
increase was recorded in the Metrology Group. Smaller increases in dollar
spending were also recorded in the RAPID, PRISM and SEMSpec divisions.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 17.8% and 18.2% of net sales,
respectively, for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1995
compared to 20.8% and 20.3% for the same periods of the prior fiscal year.
Sales and administration expenses increased at a rate somewhat slower than
sales. Representative commissions increased slightly faster than sales due to
an increase in shipments to Japan.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Interest Income and Other net
- -----------------------------
Interest income and other, net increased $2.4 million and $5.1 million,
respectively, for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1995
compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The increase is due to
higher average cash balances and higher yields on the Company's investment
portfolio.
Provision for Income Taxes
- --------------------------
The Company's effective tax rate increased to 36% for the three and six month
periods ended December 31, 1995. The Company's tax rate was 34% for the year
ended June 30, 1995. The increase from 34% to 36% is due primarily to the lower
impact of the realization of previously reserved deferred tax assets and the
expiration of the federal research and development tax credit on June 30, 1995.
The IRS is currently auditing the Company's federal income tax returns for
fiscal years 1985 to 1992. The Company has not yet received a notice of
proposed tax deficiency. However, it anticipates a notice will be received in
fiscal 1996. Management believes sufficient taxes have been provided in prior
years and that the ultimate outcome of the IRS audit will not have a material
adverse impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Future Operating Results
- ------------------------
The Company's future results will depend on its ability to continuously
introduce new products and enhancements to its customers as demands for higher
performance yield management and process control systems change or increase.
Due to the risks inherent in transitioning to new products, the Company must
accurately forecast demand in both volume and configuration and also manage the
transition from older products. New product introductions involve the
integration of complex systems and components in order to obtain customer
acceptance. Failure to complete the integration process on a timely basis could
result in delays in customer acceptance and deferrals of net sales to future
periods. The Company's results could be affected by the ability of competitors
to introduce new products which have technological and/or pricing advantages.
The Company's results also will be affected by strategic decisions made by
management regarding whether to continue particular product lines, and by
volume, mix and timing of orders received during a period, fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates, and changing conditions in both the semiconductor
industry and key semiconductor markets around the world. As a result, the
Company's operating results may fluctuate, especially when measured on a
quarterly basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased $23 million at
December 31, 1995 compared to June 30, 1995. Cash provided by operations was
$9.8 million. This was offset by the repayment in full of the Company's $20
million mortgage on its principal facility, and by $13.2 million in capital
expenditures. Cash provided by operations was substantially less than reported
earnings, primarily due to investments in Accounts Receivable and Inventories.
Accounts Receivable increased $59.8 million due primarily to an overall
increase in net sales along with nonlinear shipments for the three and six
month periods ended December 31, 1995. Inventories increased $33.9 million to
support the increase in net sales and the ramp-up of new products. Capital
expenditures were primarily for computer equipment to accommodate the planned
introduction of the Company's new enterprise business systems, engineering
computers and equipment to support KLA's rapidly expanding research and
development efforts, plus continued expenditures for facility improvements.
The Company believes that its current level of liquid assets, credit
facilities and expected cash generated from operations are sufficient to
fund growth through the next fiscal year.
