KLA - TENCOR 1998 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS of FINANCIAL CONDITION & RESULTS of OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Fiscal 1998 was the third consecutive year the Company achieved revenues in excess of $1 billion. The year began with continued recovery of the orders and shipments of process control and yield management equipment over the previous year as many semiconductor manufacturers expanded and upgraded existing facilities. However, in the last half of fiscal 1998, revenue growth and operations were impacted sharply by a downturn in the semiconductor industry driven by overcapacity and pricing pressures in the DRAM market as well as weakness in Japan and Asia Pacific economies. These conditions were evidenced by a shift in the Company's percent of revenues from Asia Pacific to the United States and Western Europe. The first half of fiscal 1998 showed marked improvements in sales in the Yield Management Solutions Group and growth in the Company's market share of the Metrology business. While these trends have continued throughout the year, results declined, primarily in the Wafer Inspection Group, since new fab construction was delayed or stopped as semiconductor manufacturers reassessed their capital spending and expansion plans in light of the deteriorating market conditions. Despite the market fluctuations, the financial position of the Company has remained strong. In response to the decline in revenue growth and new order levels, broad measures have been implemented to reduce costs and control spending. However, the Company has continued its new product development by investment in leading edge technologies and by strategic acquisitions. These investments have and are expected to continue to position the Company's extensive productline to address the critical initiatives that are key to its customers, including the acceleration of technology to sub-quarter micron and 300 millimeter wafers. During this most recent downturn in the business cycle, yield management and yield enhancement are more critical than ever before as semiconductor companies strive to maintain effective low cost manufacturing environments with reduced capital budgets. REVENUES AND GROSS MARGINS. Revenues increased $135 million, or 13%, in 1998 versus 1997 primarily due to increased volumes of the Company's data analysis systems sales including Automatic Defect Classification, review systems and increased market penetration by the CD SEM model 8100. In addition, increases were realized in Field Service revenue. These increases offset declines in the Wafer Inspection Group's revenues during the last half of fiscal 1998. Overall revenue declines in the second half of fiscal 1998 were driven by reduced spending capital, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. Revenues in 1997 when compared to 1996 declined approximately 6% due to excess capacity and lower prices in the DRAM market which slowed semiconductor equipment purchases. Gross margin decreased to 52.4% in 1998 from 54.3% in 1997 and 57.1% in 1996. The decrease during the last two years was primarily due to increased infrastructure costs of the Company's Customer Service Group and higher warranty and installation costs related to new product introductions. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Net research and development (R&D) expenses were $182 million, $134 million and $116 million, or 15.6%, 13.0% and 10.6% of revenues in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase in dollars in 1998 compared to 1997, and in 1997 compared to 1996, is primarily attributable to increases in headcount and project material costs associated with the Company's ongoing efforts to develop products which address new market segments and enhancements to existing products including next generation 300mm products and inspection enhancements for sub-quarter micron technology. 2 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $242 million, $219 million and $213 million, or 20.8%, 21.3% and 19.4% of revenues, in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase in dollars in 1998 compared to 1997 can be attributed primarily to strengthening of the worldwide sales and applications infrastructure organization. The increase in dollars in 1997 compared to 1996 can be attributed primarily to increases in expenses resulting from the significant efforts involved with enhancements to the Company's information systems infrastructure. NON-RECURRING ACQUISITION, RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES. During fiscal 1998, the Company acquired complementary businesses and technologies including Nanopro GmbH, Groff Associates (dba VARS) and DeviceWare Inc. which were recorded under the purchase method of accounting. These companies were acquired for an aggregate amount of approximately $21 million consisting primarily of in-process technology. Additionally, the Company acquired Amray, Inc. (Amray), which was recorded under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. The Company incurred approximately $2 million in professional fees related to this acquisition which have been included in "non-recurring acquisition, restructuring and other charges". Amray's historical operations, net assets, and cash flows were not material to the Company's consolidated financial results prior to the acquisition. Excluding the non-recurring charges, the Company's results of operations were not materially affected by these acquisitions. During fiscal 1997, the Company recorded charges totaling $61 million for merger, restructuring and other non-recurring events. Of this amount approximately $46 million was the result of the merger between KLA Instruments and Tencor Instruments on April 30, 1997, $6 million was a result of the write-off of a Tencor bad debt and $9 million was additional restructuring charges primarily related to lease exit costs incurred by Tencor Instruments prior to the merger. The remaining balance of approximately $5 million will be used in the first half of fiscal 1999. INTEREST INCOME AND OTHER, NET. Interest income and other, net is comprised primarily of income recognized upon settlement of certain foreign currency contracts and interest income earned on the Company's investment and cash portfolio. The increase over the last two years has been attributable to income recognized upon settlement of certain foreign currency contracts and interest resulting from higher average investment balances. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes on the Company's pretax income was 35%, 39.4% and 37.3% in fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 32% in 1998 excluding the effect of non-recurring acquisition costs from 34.9% in 1997 prior to restructuring and merger costs. This decline results primarily from realization of tax attributes related to a prior acquisition, relatively fewer non-deductible merger and acquisition related costs and a relative reduction in state and foreign taxes. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. Working capital grew to $606 million in 1998 compared to $531 million in 1997. Major components of working capital and liquidity continue to be the Company's $308 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. In addition, the Company maintains $415 million in marketable securities classified as long-term as of June 30, 1998. Cash flow from operations was approximately $50 million in 1998, compared to operating cash flow of approximately $236 million in 1997. The change in cash flow from operations in 1998 compared to 1997 is primarily due to increases in inventory and accounts receivable. Capital expenditures for each of the fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996 approximated $60 million and consisted primarily of computers and manufacturing equipment. The Company believes that the existing cash balances and short-term investments, along with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital requirements through fiscal year 1999. 3 YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE. Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to accept only two digit entries in the date code field. These date code fields will need to accept four digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, many companies' software and computer systems may need to be upgraded or replaced in order to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements. The Company believes that the majority of its products and systems are Year 2000 ready or will be brought to a state of readiness prior to the year 2000. However, complete testing is not feasible and hidden problems may remain. In addition, the Company utilizes third-party equipment and software that may not be Year 2000 compliant although these too are under evaluation and planning for Year 2000 readiness. Failure of the companies products or third-party equipment or software to operate properly with regard to the Year 2000 and thereafter could require the Company to incur unanticipated expenses to remedy any problems, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. Furthermore, the purchasing patterns of customers or potential customers may be affected by Year 2000 issues as companies expend significant resources to correct their current systems for Year 2000 compliance. These expenditures may result in reduced funds available to purchase products and services such as those offered by the Company, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING COMPANY RESULTS. The Company's operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate in the future. During the last half of fiscal 1998 operating results have been adversely affected as the Company experienced declines in revenues and margins and due to reduced capital equipment spending by the semiconductor industry. This decline is primarily due to the build up of excess semiconductor manufacturing capacity, coupled with the Asian financial crisis. The Company's operating results are dependent on many factors, including the economic conditions in the semiconductor and related industries, both in the US and abroad, 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, among others. The Company has experienced reductions in orders, cancellations and delays in shipments which may continue to adversely affect sales and margins in future periods. The Company expects unfavorable effects on orders, sales and margins to persist at least through the remainder of the calendar year and possibly beyond. The Company's expense levels are based, in part, on expectations of future revenues. If revenue levels in a particular period do not meet expectations operating results may be adversely affected. The Company's business depends and will continue to 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. The current industry downturn has had an adverse effect on the semiconductor industry's level of capital expenditures. The Company believes that it is relatively well positioned for this downturn because of its array of products, its focus on yield improvement and process development rather than pure capacity, its sales of metrology products to non-semiconductor industries and its strong balance sheet. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to withstand the effects of an industry downturn in the short term or over an extended period if the downturn is prolonged. 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. While focused on controlling expenses to address the downturn in the semiconductor industry, the Company continues to believe that its future success will depend in part upon its ability to develop, manufacture and successfully introduce new products with improved capabilities including those for 300mm wafers and devices with critical dimensions at .25-micron and below and to continue to enhance existing products. Due to the risks inherent in transitioning to new products, the Company will be required to forecast demand for new products while managing the transition from older products. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully and timely develop and manufacture new hardware and 4 software products or that new hardware and software products introduced by the Company will be accepted in the marketplace. If new products have reliability or quality problems then reduced orders, higher manufacturing costs, delays in collecting accounts receivable and additional service and warranty expense may result. Additionally, there can be no assurance that future technologies, processes or product developments will not render the Company's current product offerings obsolete. However, if the Company does not continue to successfully introduce new products, its results of operations will be adversely affected. The Company expects to continue to make significant investments in research and development and to sustain its current spending levels for customer support in fiscal year 1999 to meet current customer requirements and effectively position the Company for growth when the business cycle turns favorable. The semiconductor equipment industry is highly competitive. The Company has experienced and expects to continue to face substantial global competition. 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, who have the resources to support customers on a worldwide basis. A few 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 innovative technology. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to compete successfully worldwide. The Company expects that international revenues will continue to represent a significant percentage of its net revenues. International revenues 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 economic conditions in each country. The future performance of the Company will be dependent, in part, upon its ability to continue to compete successfully in the Asia Pacific, one of the largest areas for the sale of yield management and process monitoring equipment. Countries in the Asia Pacific region, including Japan, Korea and Taiwan, have experienced weaknesses in their currency, banking and equity markets in recent periods. These weaknesses may continue to adversely affect demand for the Company's products, the U.S. dollar value of the Company's foreign currency denominated sales, the availability and supply of resources, and the Company's consolidated results of operations. 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 may have a material adverse effect on the Company's future business and financial results. EFFECTS OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This Statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. Such items may include foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains/losses from investing and hedging activities, and other transactions. Such items include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains/losses from investing and hedging activities for the Company. This Statement is required to be adopted in the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 1999. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". This Statement establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. This Statement is required to be adopted in the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 1999. The effect of SFAS No. 131 will not be material to the Company's financial statement disclosure. 5 In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). It establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments including standalone instruments, such as forward currency exchange contracts and interest note swaps or embedded derivatives, such as conversion options contained in convertible debt investments are requires that these instruments be marked-to-market on an ongoing basis. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 133 in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending June 30, 2000. The effect of SFAS No. 133 will not be material to the Company's financial statements. MARKET RISK DISCLOSURE. At the end of fiscal 1998, the Company had an investment portfolio of fixed income securities, excluding those classified as cash and cash equivalents, of $458 million (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). These securities, like all fixed income instruments, are subject to interest rate risk and will fall in value if market interest rates increase. If market interest rates were to increase immediately and uniformly by 10% from levels as of June 30, 1998, the fair value of the portfolio would decline by approximately $5.5 million. Other than statements of historical fact, statements made in this Annual Report include forward looking statements, such as statements with respect to the Company's future financial performance, operating results, plans and objectives. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated depending on a variety of risk factors some of which are set forth in "Other Factors Affecting Company Results" above. 6 KLA - TENCOR 1998 CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 10 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES DESCRIPTION OF THE OPERATIONS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION KLA-Tencor Corporation ("the Company") is a global provider of yield management solutions for semiconductor manufacturing and related industries. The Company has subsidiaries in the United States, Western Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of KLA-Tencor and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value, and have original maturity dates of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Investments include equity and debt securities with maturities greater than three months from the date of acquisition. The Company has classified all securities as available-for-sale, as the sale of such securities may be required prior to maturity to implement management strategies. Investments classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity, net of applicable taxes, until realized. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Demonstration units are stated at their manufacturing costs and reserves are recorded to state the demonstration units at their net realizable value. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 30 years for buildings, ten years for building improvements, five to seven years for furniture and fixtures, and three to five years for machinery and equipment. The life of the lease or the useful life, whichever is shorter, is used for the amortization of leasehold improvements. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of investments, accounts receivable and financial instruments used in hedging activities. Investments are maintained with high quality institutions, the composition and maturities of which are regularly monitored by management. Generally, these securities maintain a highly liquid market and may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. The Company, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution or commercial issuer. The Company has not experienced any material losses on its investments. A majority of the Company's trade receivables are derived from sales to large multinational semiconductor manufacturers. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are considered to be limited due to its customer base and the diversity of its geographic sales areas. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition. The Company maintains a provision for potential credit losses based upon expected collectibility of all accounts receivable. The write-off of uncollectable amounts has been insignificant except for the write-off of Tencor bad debt of approximately $6 million in fiscal 1997. 11 The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on the foreign exchange contracts used in hedging activities. The Company does not anticipate nonperformance by these counterparties. FOREIGN CURRENCY The functional currencies of the Company's significant foreign subsidiaries are the local currencies. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities of the foreign operations are translated to U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated to U.S. dollars using weighted average exchange rates in effect during the period. The gains and losses from foreign currency translation of these subsidiaries' financial statements are recorded directly into a separate component of shareholders' equity under the caption "cumulative translation adjustment." Foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not been significant. The Company's foreign subsidiaries operate and sell the Company's products in various global markets. As a result the Company is exposed to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against future movements in foreign exchange rates that affect certain foreign currency denominated sales and purchase transactions. The Company attempts to match the forward contracts with the underlying items being hedged in terms of currency, amount, and maturity. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Because the impact of movements in currency exchange rates on forward contracts offsets the related impact on the exposures hedged, these financial instruments do not subject the Company to speculative risk that would otherwise result from changes in currency exchange rates. Realized gains and losses on forward exchange contracts are included in other income, net, which offset foreign exchange gains or losses from revaluation of foreign currency-denominated receivable and payable balances. The cash flows related to gains and losses on these contracts are classified in the same category as the hedged transactions in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. At June 30, 1998, the Company had forward exchange contracts maturing throughout fiscal 1999 and early fiscal 2000 to sell and purchase approximately $219 million and $6 million, respectively, in foreign currency, primarily Japanese yen. At June 30, 1997, the Company had forward contracts maturing throughout fiscal 1998 and early 1999 to sell and purchase approximately $225 million and $10 million, respectively, in foreign currency, primarily Japanese yen. Of these forward exchange contracts, approximately $111 million and $5 million of contracts hedge foreign currency assets and liabilities, respectively, carried on the balance sheet as of June 30, 1998, and consequently the financial statements reflect the fair market value of the contracts and their underlying transactions. Approximately $108 million and $1 million of the contracts hedge firm commitments for future sales and purchases, respectively, denominated in foreign currency. The fair market value of these contracts on June 30, 1998, based upon prevailing market rates on that date, was approximately $104 million and $1 million, respectively. As of June 30, 1998, and based on prevailing market rates on that date, the unrealized loss on each set of contracts was approximately $4 million. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company has evaluated the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies. The amounts reported as investments and bank borrowings reasonably estimate their fair value. The fair value of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximates the carrying amount due to the relatively short maturity of these items. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenue when the product has been shipped and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. A provision for the estimated costs of fulfilling warranty and installation 12 obligations is recorded at the time the related revenue is recognized. Service and maintenance contract revenues are deferred and recognized ratably over the period of the related contract. NET INCOME PER SHARE In December 1997 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (EPS). Under the provisions of this statement, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The reconciling difference between the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented, is the inclusion of the dilutive effect of stock options issued to employees under employee stock option plans. Options to purchase approximately 1,078,708, 674,028, and 1,357,376 shares were outstanding at June 30, 1998, 1997, and 1996 respectively, but not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of common shares in each respective year. The exercise price ranges of these options were $48.06 to $69.88, $33.81 to $48.31, and $33.81 to $46.56 at June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996 respectively. MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS The Company accounts for its employee stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan in accordance with provisions of the Accounting Principles Board's Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The Company provides additional proforma disclosure required by Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (see Note 6). RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts in fiscal years prior to 1998 have been reclassified to conform to the 1998 financial statement presentation. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This Statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. Such items may include foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains/losses from investing and hedging activities, and other transactions. This Statement requires that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. This Statement is required to be adopted in the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 1999. The effect of SFAS No. 130 will not be material to the Company's financial statement disclosure. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." This Statement establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. It also establishes standards for related 13 disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. This Statement is required to be adopted in the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 1999. The effect of SFAS No. 131 will not be material to the Company's financial statement disclosure. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). It establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments including standalone instruments, such as forward currency exchange contracts and interest note swaps or embedded derivatives, such as conversion options contained in convertible debt investments and requires that these instruments be marked-to-market on an ongoing basis. Along with the derivatives, the underlying hedged items are also to be marked-to-market on an ongoing basis. These market value adjustments are to be included either in the income statement or stockholders' equity, depending on the nature of the transaction. The Company currently only participates in hedge transactions of assets, liabilities and firm commitments and does not anticipate that the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on the financial statements as the gains and losses on the hedge transactions offset the losses and gains on the underlying items being hedged. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 133 in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending June 30, 2000. NOTE 2 - BALANCE SHEET COMPONENTS

NOTE 3 - NON-RECURRING ACQUISITION, RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES 14 During fiscal 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Nanopro GmbH, VARS Inc. and Device Ware for an aggregate amount of approximately $21 million in cash. These companies specialize in various aspects of advanced wafer inspection tools and related software. These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities which primarily consisted of in-process technology. Excluding the aggregate $21 million write-offs of acquired in-process technology, the aggregate impact of these acquisitions were not material to the Company's consolidated statements of operations in the current fiscal year. In April 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of Amray, Inc. (Amray), a privately owned provider of scanning electron microscope systems, using the pooling of interests method of accounting. The Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Amray in exchange shares of its common stock. In addition, the Company incurred $2 million in professional fees and restructuring charges related to this acquisition. Amray's historical operations, net assets, and cash flows are not material to the Company's consolidated financial results and, therefore, were not reflected in the Company's consolidated financial results prior to the acquisition. During fiscal 1997, the Company recorded charges totaling $61 million for merger, restructuring and other non-recurring events. Of this amount approximately $46 million was the result of the merger between KLA Instruments and Tencor Instruments on April 30, 1997, $6 million was a result of the write-off of a Tencor bad debt and additional restructuring charges of $9 million primarily related to lease exit costs incurred by Tencor Instruments prior to the merger. During fiscal 1998, approximately $17 million of the accrued balance was used and $5 million of the accrued balance remains and is expected to be utilized ratably during the first half of fiscal 1999.

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. The realized gains and losses for the year ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, were not material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

Actual current tax liabilities are lower than reflected above for fiscal years 1996, 1997 and 1998 by $10, $10 and $20 million, respectively, due to the stock option deduction benefits recorded as credits to capital in excess of par value. The significant components of deferred income tax assets (liabilities) are as follows: Deferred tax assets: 16 Federal and state loss and credit carryforwards $ 2,820 $ 1,633 State tax 597 26,606 Nondeductible reserves and other 73,767 98,218 ------------- ------------- 77,184 126,457 ------------- ------------- Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation (4,105) (4,625) Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries not permanently reinvested (11,239) (11,501) Unrealized (gain) loss on investments (11,036) (15,330) Other (2,713) (6,951) ------------- ------------- (29,093) (38,407) ------------- ------------- Deferred tax assets valuation allowance (4,576) (1,633) ------------- ------------- Total net deferred tax assets $ 43,515 $ 86,417 ============= =============

Undistributed earnings of certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, for which no U.S. federal income taxes have been provided, aggregated approximately $13 million at June 30,1998. The amount of the unrecognized deferred tax expense related to the investments in foreign subsidiaries is estimated at approximately $5 million at June 30,1998. The IRS is currently auditing the Company's federal income tax returns for fiscal 1995 to 1996. Management believes sufficient taxes have been provided in prior years and that the ultimate outcome of the IRS audits will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS In March 1989, the Company implemented a plan to protect stockholders' rights in the event of a proposed takeover of the Company. The Plan provides that if any person or group acquires 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock, each Right not owned by such person or group will entitle its holder to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, the Company's Common Stock at a value of twice that exercise price. The rights are redeemable by the Company and expire in April 2006. STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLANS. The Company has various stock option and management incentive plans for selected employees, officers, directors, and consultants. The plans provide for awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock purchase rights, and performance shares. As of June 30, 1998, only stock options have been awarded under the plans. 17 In calendar 1996, the Company granted employees the right to re-price certain stock options issued to employees during the period August 1994 through August 1996. The re-pricing was done in the form of an exchange, whereby eligible optionees could cancel their current options in exchange for new options with exercise prices at the fair market value on the date of grant. The activity under the option plans, combined, was as follows:
Weighted- Available Options Average For Grant Outstanding Exercise Price --------- ----------- -------------- Balances at June 30, 1995 2,738,614 7,737,430 11.82 Additional shares reserved 3,700,000 -- -- Options granted (3,283,370) 3,283,370 30.62 Options canceled/expired 1,240,116 (1,253,098) 32.03 Options exercised -- (906,797) 5.40 --------- ---------- ----- Balances at June 30, 1996 4,395,360 8,860,905 16.70 Additional shares reserved 1,600,000 -- -- Options granted (4,479,879) 4,479,879 30.15 Options canceled/expired 610,357 (1,992,129) 31.22 Options exercised -- (1,087,689) 8.20 --------- ---------- ----- Balances at June 30, 1997 2,125,838 10,260,966 $ 20.65 Additional shares reserved 2,501,603 -- -- Options granted (3,629,888) 3,629,888 46.44 Options canceled/expired 751,710 (915,914) 30.56 Options exercised -- (1,380,175) 10.33 --------- ---------- ----- Balances at June 30, 1998 1,749,263 11,594,765 29.11 ========= ========== =====
The options outstanding at June 30, 1998, have been segregated into ranges for additional disclosure as follows:

The weighted average fair value of options granted in 1998, 1997 and 1996 is $26.36, $14.61 and $14.56, respectively. Options exercisable were 5,111,912, 4,592,963, and 4,425,065 as of June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN. The Company's employee stock purchase plan provides that eligible employees may contribute up to 10% of their base earnings toward the semi-annual purchase of the Company's Common Stock. The employee's purchase price is derived from a formula based on the fair market value of the Common Stock. No compensation expense is recorded in connection with the plan. In 1998, 1997 and 1996, 882,869, 925,311 and 697,203 shares, respectively, had been purchased by employees. At June 30, 1998, 819,306 shares were reserved and available for 18 issuance under this plan. The weighted average fair value of shares issued in 1998, 1997 and 1996 is $11.20, $7.67, and $8.07, respectively. PRO FORMA NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE. Pro forma information regarding net income and net income per share is required by SFAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock purchase plan and employee stock options granted subsequent to June 30, 1995, under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the single option approach with the following weighted-average assumptions:
1996 1997 1998 ---- ---- ---- Stock option plan: Expected stock price volatility 50.0% 50.0% 55.0% Risk free interest rate 6.4% 6.2% 5.8% Expected life of options (years) 5.4 5.4 5.6 Stock purchase plan: Expected stock price volatility 50.0% 50.0% 55.0% Risk free interest rate 5.7% 5.6% 5.4% Expected life of options (years) 1-2 1-2 1-2
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options and employee stock purchase plan have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of such Company options. For purposes of pro forma disclosures required by SFAS 123, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting periods. The Company's pro forma information follows for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1997, 1998 follows (in thousands except for earnings per share information):
1996 1997 1998 ------------- ------------- ------------- Net income: Historical $ 196,634 $ 105,396 $ 134,096 Proforma $ 189,331 $ 89,608 $ 106,882 Historical earnings per share: Basic $ 2.42 $ 1.29 $ 1.58 Diluted $ 2.34 $ 1.24 $ 1.52 Proforma earnings per share: Basic $ 2.33 $ 1.09 $ 1.26 Diluted $ 2.27 $ 1.07 $ 1.24
The pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share for fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997 is not representative of the pro forma effect net income in future years because it does not take into consideration pro forma compensation expense related to grants made prior to fiscal 1996. 19 OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. The Company has a profit sharing program for eligible employees which distributes, on a quarterly basis, a percentage of pretax profits. In addition, the Company has an employee savings plan that qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. During 1998, the Company matched dollar-for-dollar up to $1,000 of an eligible employee's contribution. The total charge to operations under the profit sharing and 401(k) programs aggregated approximately $22 million, $24 million and $32 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan whereby certain key executives may defer a portion of their salary and bonus. Participants direct the investment of their account balances among mutual funds selected by the participants. Distributions from the plan commence following a participant's retirement or termination of employment. At June 30, 1998, the Company had a deferred compensation liability under the plan of $26 million. NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company has an agreement with a bank to sell, with recourse, certain of its trade receivables. The total amount of the facility is the yen equivalent of approximately $80 million based upon exchange rates as of June 30, 1998. The Company has accounted for the sale of certain of these receivables as an off balance sheet financing arrangement. During fiscal 1998, approximately $166 million of receivables were sold under this arrangement. As of June 30, 1998, $52 million remains uncollected. The Company does not believe it is materially at risk for any losses as a result of this agreement. The Company has entered into a master operating lease for land, office and manufacturing facilities constructed for its use in Milpitas and San Jose, California. Monthly rent payments under these leases vary based upon the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR). At the end of the lease the Company, at its option, can acquire the properties at their original cost or arrange for the properties to be acquired. If the Company does not purchase the properties at the end of the lease, the Company will be contingently liable to the lessor for residual value guarantees aggregating $132 million. In addition, under the terms of the lease, the Company must maintain compliance with certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 1998, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants. Management believes that the contingent liability relating to the residual value guarantees does not currently have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company leases several other facilities under operating leases that expire at various times through fiscal 2012, with renewal options at the fair market value for additional periods up to five years. The Company also leases equipment and other facilities under operating leases. Total rent expense under all operating leases was $18 million, $15 million and $10 million for the years ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Future minimum lease commitments under these operating leases at June 30, 1998 (which include estimated lease payments for the Company's Milpitas and San Jose, California, facilities using a LIBOR of approximately 6.0% and total construction costs of $132 million), are $19 million, $16 million, $14 million, $13 million, $6 million, and $11 million in fiscal 1999 through 2003 and thereafter, respectively.
