REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Participants and
Plan Administrator of the
KLA-Tencor 401(k) Plan

We have audited the financial statements of KLA-Tencor 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and for the years then ended, as listed in the accompanying table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Plan’s management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule, as listed in the accompanying table of contents, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

KLA-TENCOR 401(k) PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006

NOTE 1 - THE PLAN AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General - The following description of the KLA-Tencor 401(k) Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document and the Summary Plan Description for the Plan for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan that was established in 1982 by KLA-Tencor Corporation (the Company) to provide benefits to eligible employees, as defined in the Plan document. The Plan is currently designed to be qualified under the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code), as amended, and the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended.

Administration - The Company is the Administrator of the Plan. The Company has appointed a Plan Committee (the Committee) to manage the day-to-day operation and administration of the Plan. The Company has contracted with Fidelity Management Trust Company (Fidelity) to act as the Plan’s custodian and trustee. Expenses incurred for administering the Plan are paid by the Plan, unless the Company elects to pay such expenses.

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of accounting - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP ASG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP), effective for the Plan year ending after December 15, 2006, applied retroactively for all periods presented, investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attributable for that portion for the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Company has considered the impact of this standard on these financial statements to be immaterial.

4


Investments - Investments of the Plan are held by Fidelity and invested based solely upon instructions received from participants.

The Plan’s investments in mutual funds, common stock and a common/collective trust are valued at fair value as of the last day of the Plan year, as measured by quoted market prices or as reported by Fidelity. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

Effective September 28, 2006, participants were prohibited from purchasing any Company common stock under the Plan until further notice. Participants were allowed to continue to sell their shares held in Company common stock under the Plan. Effective February 1, 2007, the restriction on purchasing common stock was lifted.

Income taxes - The Plan is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code and related state statutes, and the trust, which is a part of the Plan, is intended to be exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving a favorable determination letter dated January 15, 2004.

Risks and uncertainties - The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of investment securities, including Company common stock (currently capped at 25% of a participant’s account, see Note 2 below), offered by the Plan. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rates, market fluctuations and credit risks. Due to the risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in market values, interest rates or other factors in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.

NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY AND PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments in Company common stock, a common/collective trust and mutual funds are managed by Fidelity. Purchases and sales of these funds are performed in the open market at fair value and qualify as party-in-interest transactions under ERISA regulations. These transactions are permitted under the provisions of the Plan and are specifically exempt from the prohibition of party-in-interest transactions under ERISA.

The Plan permits participants to direct their investments to the common stock of the Company. The investment in Company common stock is limited to 25% of a participant’s account. Aggregate investment in Company stock was as follows at June 30:

         2007      2006
Number of shares    344,700      486,529   
Fair value  $18,941,277    $20,225,015

NOTE 3 - PARTICIPATION AND BENEFITS

Participant contributions - Participants may elect to have the Company contribute up to 25% of their eligible pre-tax compensation to the Plan. In addition, eligible participants can make catchup contributions, up to the maximum allowed under current tax regulations, and may elect to defer up to 100% of their profit sharing compensation into the Plan. Participants who elect to have the Company contribute a portion of their eligible compensation to the Plan agree to accept an equivalent reduction in taxable compensation. Contributions withheld are invested in accordance with the participant’s direction.

Participants are also allowed to make rollover contributions of amounts received from other tax-qualified employer-sponsored retirement plans. Such contributions are deposited in the appropriate investment funds in accordance with the participant’s direction and the Plan’s provisions.

Employer contributions - The Company is allowed to make discretionary matching contributions as defined in the Plan and as approved by the Board of Directors. In 2007 and 2006, the Company contributed an amount equal to 50% of each eligible participant’s contribution, not to exceed $3,000 and $1,000 per participant per Plan year, respectively.

The Plan allowed for a discretionary profit sharing contribution each calendar quarter as determined by the Board of Directors. The Company did not make any discretionary profit sharing contributions during the year ended June 30, 2006. This provision was eliminated effective July 1, 2006.

Vesting - Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and the Company’s discretionary matching and discretionary profit sharing contributions, at all times.

Participant accounts - Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, Plan earnings or losses and an allocation of the Company’s contributions, if any. Allocation of the Company’s discretionary matching and profit sharing contributions are based on eligible participant contributions or eligible compensation, as defined in the Plan.

Payment of benefits - Upon termination, the participants or beneficiaries may elect to leave their account balance in the Plan, or receive their total benefits in a lump sum amount. Upon termination of employment, the Plan provides for automatic lump sum distribution of account balances of $1,000 or less. Effective July 1, 2006, the Plan’s option to automatically distribute account balances greater than $1,000 but not greater than $5,000 as a rollover to an IRA was eliminated.

6


Loans to participants - Participants may borrow not less than $1,000 and up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. The loans are secured by the participant’s balance, bear interest at the available market financing rates and must be repaid within a five-year period, unless the loan is used for the purchase of a principal residence in which case the maximum repayment period is 15 years. The specific terms and conditions of such loans are established by the Committee. Outstanding loans at June 30, 2007 carry interest rates ranging from 6% to 11.5% ..
