NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 In the opinion of the Company's management, the unaudited
consolidated condensed financial statements include all adjustments
(consisting only of adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature)
necessary for a fair statement of results. The results for the quarter
ended December 31, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of results to
be expected for the entire year. This financial information should be
read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
(including items incorporated by reference therein) for the year ended
June 30, 1996.

Note 3 In April 1996, the Company adopted a plan to repurchase, at its
discretion, up to $20 million of KLA common stock on the open market,
through October 1997. The repurchase plan was terminated in December
1996. The Company repurchased approximately 81,000 shares of its common
stock during the six months ended December 31, 1996, at a cost of
approximately $1.9 million. These shares were purchased in order to
fund the Company's Excess Profit Stock Plan, and were placed in a trust
account for the benefit of the employees participating in the Excess
Profit Stock Plan.
Note 4 In August 1996, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
authorized the Company to re-price stock options issued subsequent to
July 1994 through August 1996 which had exercise prices well above the
recent trading prices of the Company's common stock. This re-pricing
was done in the form of an Exchange Program, whereby eligible optionees
may cancel their current options in exchange for new options with
exercise prices at the fair market value on the date of grant.
Note 5 The Company's effective tax rate was 34% for the six months ended
December 31, 1996. The Company's effective tax rate was 36% for the
year ended June 30, 1996. This rate decrease is due primarily to the
reinstatement of the federal research and development tax credit. The
difference between the statutory tax rate and the Company's effective
tax rate is primarily due to research and development tax credits,
benefits associated with the Company's foreign sales corporation,
benefits from tax exempt interest, and state taxes.
Note 6 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.
6
Note 7 Engineering, research and development expenditures were net of external
funding of $2.6 million and $7.7 million for the three and six month
periods ended December 31, 1996, respectively.
Note 8 On January 14, 1997, the Company announced the signing of a definitive
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") with
Tencor Instruments. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, shares and
options for the Company's common stock will be exchanged on a
one-for-one basis for shares and options for the common stock of Tencor
Instruments. The transaction is to be accounted for as a pooling of
interests and is structured to qualify as a tax-free reorganization.
The transaction is conditioned upon obtaining approval of both
companies' shareholders, regulatory clearance and other customary
closing conditions.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements
that reflect the Company's current judgment regarding the matters addressed by
such statements. Because such statements apply to future events, they are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
substantially. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ are
described in the following discussion and are particularly noted under "Risk
Factors" on page 9.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales Net sales decreased 8.5% and increased 0.3%, respectively, for the
three and six month periods ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the same
periods of the prior fiscal year. Unit sales in the WISARD business unit
declined in both periods, reflecting the industry's continued capital spending
weakness. Many of the leading manufacturers have placed new fab construction on
hold while they evaluate the marketplace and assess the future supply/demand
relationship for various semiconductor devices. Net sales increases were
recorded in the RAPID business unit for both periods, primarily as a result of
increased unit volumes. The Company attributes the increases primarily to the
ongoing industry-wide retooling for advanced reticle manufacturing, as well as
continuing industry movement towards smaller line widths.
Gross Margin Gross margins were 50.5% and 52.8% of net sales, respectively, for
the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1996 as compared to 54.5% and
54.9% of net sales for the same periods of the prior fiscal year. Gross margins
decreased primarily because of the changing product mix occurring as WISARD
sales decreased as a percentage of total Company revenues. Additionally, WISARD
gross margins decreased as a result of unit volume inefficiencies and new
product startup costs. These effects were partially offset by the rising gross
margins in other business units, most notably RAPID and E-Beam Metrology.
Although gross margins for the RAPID business unit have increased as a result of
higher unit volume efficiencies and lower installation and warranty costs, these
margins are still below the Company average.
Engineering, Research and Development Engineering, research and development
expenses were 12.3% and 12.7% of net sales, respectively, for the three and six
month periods ended December 31, 1996 compared to 10.9% and 10.7% of net sales
for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. These expenditures were net of
external funding of $2.6 million and $7.7 million for the three and six month
periods ended December 31, 1996, respectively. Net engineering expenditures rose
$0.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively, during the three and six month
periods ended December 31, 1996, compared to the same periods in the prior
fiscal year. The Company is concentrating on 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.
Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A")
expenses were 19.2% and 20.5% of net sales, respectively, for the three and six
month periods ended December 31, 1996 compared to 17.8% and 18.2% of net sales
for the same periods of the prior fiscal year. SG&A expenses reflected the
continued investment in Customer Group sales and applications resources.
Operating costs also included sales representative commissions of approximately
$4 million and $9 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods
ended December 31, 1996, which related to orders previously taken by the
Company's former representative in Japan but which
8
shipped during the respective periods. These commissions will phase out
substantially during the next two quarters.
Interest Income, Expense and Other Interest income, expense and other, net,
decreased $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the three and six
month periods ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the same periods of the
prior fiscal year. These decreases are due primarily to lower yields on the
Company's investment portfolio partially offset by higher average cash balances.
Provision for Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate was 34% for the six
months ended December 31, 1996. The Company's effective tax rate was 36% for the
year ended June 30, 1996. This rate decrease is due primarily to the
reinstatement of the federal research and development tax credit. The difference
between the statutory tax rate and the Company's effective tax rate is primarily
due to research and development tax credits, benefits associated with the
Company's foreign sales corporation, benefits from tax exempt interest, and
state taxes.
The IRS is currently auditing the Company's federal income tax returns for
fiscal years 1985 through 1992. The Company has received a notice of proposed
tax deficiency for such years. The Company filed a tax protest letter with the
IRS on June 10, 1996, in response to the IRS notice. 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments
and marketable securities balances increased $119 million to $380 million at
December 31, 1996. Cash generated by operations for the six month period ended
December 31, 1996, was $126.2 million, derived primarily from net income and
reductions in accounts receivable. The Company's capital expenditures were
primarily in facilities improvements, new computers to accommodate general
business needs, manufacturing tooling to improve production efficiencies, and
engineering computers and equipment to support the Company's expanding research
and development efforts. The Company's capital expenditures are generally
consistent with prior levels of expenditures. 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.
RISK FACTORS
Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results The Company's quarterly operating
results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate in the future. The
Company's operating results are dependent on many factors, including the
economic conditions in the semiconductor industry, the size and timing of the
receipt of orders from customers, customer cancellations or delays of shipments,
the Company's ability to develop, introduce, and market new and enhanced
products on a timely basis, the introduction of new products by its competitors,
changes in average selling prices and product mix, and exchange rate
fluctuations, among others. The Company's expense levels will be based, in part,
on expectations of future revenues. If revenue levels in a particular quarter do
not meet expectations, operating results could be adversely affected. The
Company's results of operations for a particular quarter could be adversely
affected if anticipated shipments are delayed or canceled by one or more
customers or if shipments are delayed due to manufacturing difficulties. The
slowdown in the semiconductor industry and in the construction of new wafer
fabrication facilities has resulted in the Company experiencing a reduction in
new orders as well as rescheduled and canceled orders. There can be no assurance
that this slowdown will not continue. There can be no assurance that these and
other factors will not materially adversely affect the Company's business and
financial results.
9
Current Slowdown and Volatility in the Semiconductor Equipment Industry The
Company's business depends and will depend in the future upon the capital
equipment expenditures of semiconductor manufacturers, which in turn depend on
the current and anticipated market demand for integrated circuits and products
utilizing integrated circuits. In addition, the Company's business depends upon
the new construction of semiconductor fabrication facilities and, as to existing
fabrication facilities, enhancements to improve yields. The semiconductor
industry has been cyclical in nature and historically has experienced periodic
downturns. The semiconductor industry is presently experiencing a slowdown in
terms of product demand and volatility in terms of product pricing. This
slowdown and volatility has caused the semiconductor industry to reduce
purchases of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and construction of new
fabrication facilities. These conditions have adversely affected the Company and
may continue to adversely affect, aggregate bookings, revenues and operating
results, and no assurance can be given that the Company's bookings, revenues and
operating results will not be adversely affected by future downturns in the
semiconductor industry. Even during periods of reduced revenues, in order to
remain competitive, the Company will be required to continue to invest in
research and development and to maintain extensive ongoing worldwide customer
service and support capability which could adversely affect its financial
results.
Dependence on New Products and Processes; Rapid Technological Change Rapid
technological changes in semiconductor manufacturing processes subject the
semiconductor manufacturing equipment industry to increased pressure to maintain
technological parity with deep submicron process technology. The Company
believes that its future success will depend in part upon its ability to
develop, manufacture and successfully introduce new products with improved
capabilities and to continue to enhance existing products. Due to the risks
inherent in transitioning to new products, the Company will be required to
accurately forecast demand for new products while managing the transition from
older products. If new products have reliability or quality problems, reduced
orders, higher manufacturing costs, delays in acceptance of and payment for new
products and additional service and warranty expense may result. In the past,
the Company has experienced some delays as well as reliability and quality
problems in connection with product introductions, resulting in some of these
consequences. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully
develop and manufacture new products, or that new products introduced by the
Company will be accepted in the marketplace. If the Company does not
successfully introduce new products, the Company's results of operations will be
materially adversely affected.
In addition, the Company expects to continue to make significant investments in
research and development. There can be no assurance that future technologies,
processes or product developments will not render the Company's current product
offerings obsolete or that the Company will be able to develop and introduce new
products or enhancements to its existing products which satisfy customer needs
in a timely manner or achieve market acceptance. The failure to do so could
adversely affect the Company's business.
Highly Competitive Industry The semiconductor equipment industry is highly
competitive. The Company has experienced and expects to continue to face
substantial competition throughout the world. The Company believes that to
remain competitive, it will require significant financial resources in order to
offer a broad range of products, to maintain customer service and support
centers worldwide, and to invest in product and process research and
development. The Company believes that the semiconductor equipment industry is
becoming increasingly dominated by large manufacturers such as Applied
Materials, Inc., which recently entered the yield management market, Hitachi
Electronics Engineering Co., Ltd. and Tokyo Electron Limited, who have the
resources to support customers on a worldwide basis. Many of these competitors
have substantially greater financial resources and more extensive engineering,
manufacturing, marketing and customer service and support capabilities than the
Company. In addition, there are smaller emerging semiconductor equipment
companies which provide
10
innovative technology. The Company expects its competitors to continue to
improve the design and performance of their current products and processes and
to introduce new products and processes with improved price and performance
characteristics. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to
compete successfully worldwide.
Importance of International Sales International sales accounted for 65%, 69% and
68% of the Company's net sales for fiscal years 1994, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. The Company expects that international sales will continue to
represent a significant percentage of its net sales. The future performance of
the Company will be dependent, in part, upon its ability to continue to compete
successfully in Asia, one of the largest areas for the sale of yield management
and process monitoring equipment. The Company's ability to compete in this area
in the future is dependent upon the continuation of favorable trading
relationships between the region (especially Japan and Korea) and the United
States and the continuing ability of the Company to maintain satisfactory
relationships with leading semiconductor companies in the region. International
sales and operations may be adversely affected by imposition of governmental
controls, restrictions on export technology, political instability, trade
restrictions, changes in tariffs and the difficulties associated with staffing
and managing international operations. In addition, international sales may be
adversely affected by the economic conditions in each country. The net sales and
income from the Company's international business may be affected by fluctuations
in currency exchange rates. Although the Company attempts to manage near term
currency risks through "hedging," there can be no assurance that such efforts
will be adequate. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's future business and financial results.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On January 14, 1997, the Company announced the signing of a definitive Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") with Tencor Instruments.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, shares and options for the Company's
common stock will be exchanged on a one-for-one basis for shares and options for
the common stock of Tencor Instruments. The transaction is to be accounted for
as a pooling of interests and is structured to qualify as a tax-free
reorganization. The transaction is conditioned upon obtaining approval of both
companies' shareholders, regulatory clearance and other customary closing
conditions.
