COHU, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 -    The accompanying financial information is unaudited but includes all 
       adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which the
       Company considers necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
       period. The operating results for the three and nine months ended
       September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
       results to be expected for the entire year.

2 -    Per share information is based on the weighted average common and common 
       equivalent shares outstanding during each period. All share and per share
       amounts have been retroactively restated for a two-for-one stock split
       effective June 6, 1995. Shares used in the calculation of net income per
       share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 were
       9,670,000 and 9,535,000 shares, respectively.

3 -    On June 22, 1994 the Company acquired Daymarc Corporation, a
       privately-held manufacturer of gravity feed semiconductor test handling
       equipment that complements the pick and place test handling equipment
       manufactured by Delta Design. The Company's consolidated financial
       statements include the results of Daymarc from June 22, 1994 forward.

       Assuming that the acquisition of Daymarc had occurred on the first day of
       the Company's year ended December 31, 1994, pro forma condensed
       consolidated results of operations for 1994 would be as follows:

                         Pro Forma Results of Operations
                      (in thousands, except per share data)

                                               September 30, 1994    
                                               ------------------
       Net sales                                   $ 84,095
       Net income                                     8,406
       Net income per share                             .92


       These results give effect to pro forma adjustments that include the
       amortization of goodwill, issuance of shares of Cohu common stock and
       interest expense on long-term debt.

       This pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the actual
       results that would have been achieved had Daymarc been acquired the
       first day of the Company's year ended December 31, 1994.

4 -    On October 17, 1995 the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Daymarc, Inc. 
       entered into an agreement to acquire land and a building near Boston,
       Massachusetts for approximately $4,200,000. The facility will be utilized
       by the Company's Daymarc subsidiary. The transaction, which is subject to
       normal closing conditions, will be funded with available cash and is
       expected to be completed in November 1995.

COHU, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS

The Company's results are substantially dependent on the operations of the
semiconductor test handling equipment business conducted by its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Delta Design and Daymarc. This capital equipment business is in
turn highly dependent on the overall strength of the semiconductor industry.
Worldwide demand for semiconductors has historically been subject to substantial
cyclical swings of varying duration and magnitude, and is currently in a period
of strength. The Company's favorable results in recent periods are in large part
reflective of this current strength in the semiconductor industry. The Company
cannot predict how long the current favorable conditions in the industry will
continue. The Company's backlog can be expected to decline concurrently with or
possibly in advance of the next period of relative weakness in worldwide demand
for semiconductors. The Company attempts to keep its production capacity, labor
force and other aspects of its cost structure in line with expected demand.

THIRD QUARTER 1995 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 1994

Net sales increased 55% to $49,035,000 in 1995 compared to sales of $31,703,000
in 1994. Sales of semiconductor test handling equipment increased 76% in 1995
due to increased sales of such equipment by Delta Design and Daymarc. Sales of
this equipment accounted for 83% of consolidated sales. Sales of television
cameras and equipment decreased 8% while the combined sales of metal detection
and microwave equipment increased 8% in 1995. Gross margin as a percentage of
sales increased to 40% for 1995 compared to 37% for 1994, due to a larger
percentage of total sales derived from test handling equipment that has a higher
gross margin than other products. Research and development expense increased
from $2,102,000 to $2,635,000, however, as a percentage of net sales, decreased
to 5% in 1995 from 7% in 1994. Selling, general and administrative expense
decreased to 13% in 1995 from 15% in 1994 due to the fixed component of such
costs being spread over increased net sales. The provision for income taxes
expressed as a percentage of pre-tax income was 39% in 1995 and for the year
ended December 31, 1994. Net income increased 114% to $6,500,000 in 1995 from
$3,032,000 in 1994.

NINE MONTHS 1995 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS 1994

Net sales increased 76% to $126,429,000 in 1995 compared to sales of $71,833,000
in 1994. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to increased shipments
of semiconductor test handling equipment at Delta Design and the addition of
Daymarc's operating results for the entire 1995 period. Sales of this equipment
accounted for 80% of consolidated sales and increased 108% over the 1994 period.
Sales of television cameras and equipment increased 8%, while the combined sales
of metal detection and microwave equipment increased 7% in 1995. Gross margin
increased to 40% of sales in 1995 from 38% of sales in 1994 due to a larger
percentage of total sales derived from test handling equipment that has a higher
gross margin than other products. Research and development expense increased
from $5,351,000 to $7,560,000, however, as a percentage of sales, decreased to
6% in 1995 from 7% in 1994. Selling, general and administrative expense as a
percentage of sales remained constant at 15%. The provision for income taxes as
a percentage of pre-tax income was 39% in 1995 and for the year ended December
31, 1994. Net income increased 118% to $14,920,000 in 1995 from $6,836,000 in
1994.
