    To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in
    accordance with GAAP, we provide certain non-GAAP financial information,
    which is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain costs and
    expenses, as well as other supplemental information. The non-GAAP and
    supplemental information is provided to enhance the user's overall
    understanding of our operating performance and our prospects in the
    future. Specifically, we believe that the non-GAAP information provides
    useful measures to both management and investors regarding financial and
    business trends relating to our financial performance by excluding certain
    costs and expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core
    operating results. The non-GAAP information is among the budgeting and
    planning tools that management uses for future forecasting. The
    presentation of non-GAAP and supplemental information is not meant to be
    considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared and
    presented in accordance with United States GAAP.
    
    a  Acquisition related charges include amortization of intangible assets,
       inventory fair value adjustments, and in-process research and
       development associated with acquisitions.  Management believes that the
       expense associated with the amortization of acquisition related
       intangible assets is appropriate to be excluded because a significant
       portion of the purchase price for acquisitions may be allocated to
       intangible assets that have short lives, and exclusion of the
       amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results that are
       consistent over time for both KLA-Tencor's newly acquired and long-held
       businesses.  Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude
       acquisition related inventory fair value adjustments and in-process
       research and development as they are not indicative of ongoing
       operating results and therefore limit comparability.  Management
       believes excluding these items helps investors compare our operating
       performance with our results in prior periods as well as with the
       performance of other companies.
    
    b  Restructuring, severance and other related charges include gains and
       costs associated with the company's facilities divestment and
       consolidation program, reductions in force, entry into a severance and
       consulting agreement with the company's former president/chief
       operating officer, gains and losses from sales of facilities, and asset
       impairment (other than impairment of goodwill and purchased intangible
       assets, which is included within the category described in note (d)
       below) from discontinuing or making available for sale certain acquired
       product lines.  Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude
       those items as they are not indicative of ongoing operating results and
       therefore limit comparability.  Management believes excluding these
       items helps investors compare our operating performance with our
       results in prior periods as well as with the performance of other
       companies.
    
    c  Restatement related charges include legal and other expenses related to
       the stock option investigation, shareholder litigation and related
       matters.  Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude those
       items as they are not indicative of ongoing operating results and
       therefore limit comparability.  Management believes excluding these
       items helps investors compare our operating performance with our
       results in prior periods as well as with the performance of other
       companies.
    
    d  Goodwill and purchased intangible asset impairment includes non-cash
       expense recognized as a result of the company's annual evaluation of
       goodwill or the testing for intangible asset impairment driven by
       certain company-specific triggering events, as well as the impairment
       of goodwill and intangible assets as a result of discontinuing acquired
       products and making acquired products available for sale. Management
       believes that it is appropriate to exclude those items as they are not
       indicative of ongoing operating results and therefore limit
       comparability.  Management believes excluding these items helps
       investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior
       periods as well as with the performance of other companies.
    
    e  Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments includes the income tax
       effects of the excluded items noted above.  Management believes that it
       is appropriate to exclude the tax effects of the items noted above in
       order to present a more meaningful measure of non-GAAP net income.
    
    f  Discrete tax items include the tax impact of shortfalls in excess of
       cumulative windfall tax benefits recorded as provision for income taxes
       during the quarter. Windfall tax benefits arise when a company's tax
       deductions for employee stock activity exceeds book compensation for
       the same activity.  A shortfall arises when the tax deduction is less
       than book compensation.  Windfalls are recorded as increases to capital
       in excess of par value.  Shortfalls are recorded as decreases to
       capital in excess of par value to the extent that cumulative windfalls
       exceed cumulative shortfalls.  Shortfalls in excess of cumulative
       windfalls are recorded as provision for income taxes.  Management
       believes that it is appropriate to exclude these items as they are not
       indicative of ongoing operating results and therefore limit
       comparability.  Management believes excluding these items helps
       investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior
       periods as well as with the performance of other companies.
