Results of Operations

Net sales for the three months period ended September 30, 1995, were
$14,574,000, which represents an increase of 20 percent over the same period
a year ago.  

For the first six months of fiscal 1996, the Company's net sales
were $28,344,000, up 17 percent from $24,142,000, for the same six-month 
period a year ago.  

The Environmental Instrumentation market area, which accounted for 59 percent
of the Company's business in fiscal 1995, increased about 21 percent from the
same quarter a year ago and was up about 19 percent for the six-month 
comparison.  While sales have continued to increase year-to-year on the 
commercial product lines in this market area, significant events have occurred
which affect year-to-year comparisons.  Increased sales this year in the 
second quarter of about $2.2 million and for the six month period of about 
$4.1 million were due to the May, 1995 acquisition of Alnor Instrument Company
(Alnor).  These sales increases were largely offset compared to last year's 
second quarter and six month periods when sales of $1.3 million and 
$3.2 million, respectively, occurred under an $8.6 million U.S. Army contract
for TSI's Portacount(R) respirator fit testers for bio-hazard protection.  
(Shipments under a new $2.5 million U.S. Army contract for the same product are
scheduled to begin in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 and continue through
March, 1996.)

The Research and Analytical Instrumentation market niches, which accounted
for about 30 percent of fiscal 1995 net sales, increased about 12 percent in
the second quarter this year and increased 14 percent for the six months this
year compared with last year, mainly reflecting higher sales of particle 
instruments.  Process Instrumentation, representing about 11 percent of fiscal
1995 net sales, showed an increase in net sales of approximately 43 percent
for the second quarter comparison and an increase of about 20 percent for the
six-month comparison.  Sales for the second quarter this year of the 
LaserSpeed(R) non-contact, speed and length measuring instruments for 
materials processes were up generally and not due to any single large contract.

Sales to U.S. and state government agencies including defense, comprised about
22 percent of the Company's net sales for the quarter as compared to 37 percent
for the same quarter last year.  For the six months ended September 30, 1995
and 1994, sales to the U.S. and state government agencies were at 20 percent
and 34 percent, respectively.  A higher percentage of governmental sales was
experienced during  fiscal 1995, mostly because of shipments on the 
$8.6 million military contract referred to above.  Because of the new
$2.5 million U.S. Army contract, also referred to above, the second half of
fiscal 1996 should show governmental sales to be at a higher percentage than
during the first six months. However, the acquisition of Alnor lowers the 
overall percentage of sales to governmental customers because about 2% of 
Alnor sales are to governmental customers.  Since sales to government agencies
represent a significant portion of the Company's sales, it is important to
consider the potential effects of changes in government spending.  Due to the 
Company's diverse line of products, sales occur in a wide range of U.S. and
state government agencies, so total government sales during the past several
years have been quite stable as a percentage of total sales, with the 
exceptions due to specific, larger contracts or acquisitions.
                            
At September 30, 1995, backlog of orders was $22.4 million compared to 
$10.9 million at September 30, 1994 and $11.4 million as of March 31, 1995.  
About $3 million of backlog was added from the Alnor acquisition.  New order
bookings in the second quarter this year were $18.3 million, up from 
$12.3 million booked in the second quarter a year ago and also up from the 
$17.5 million booked in the Company's first quarter ended June 30, 1995.

Gross profit margin for the second quarter ended September 30, 1995 was 
56.7 percent of net sales, down from the 59.4 percent gross profit margin in
the second quarter last year.  Historically, TSI's gross profit percentage
range has been from 57 to 60 percent. Six-month gross profit margins were in
that range at 57.1 percent this year compared to 60.1 percent a year ago.  
The lower margin this year was mostly due to product mix changes and the 
effect of the Alnor acquisition.  Gross profit margins at Alnor have been 
lower than the Company's historical range.

Research and product development expenses as a percentage of net sales were
14.5 percent for the second quarter and 14.8 percent for the six month period
ended September 30, 1995, compared to 14.3 percent and 14.4 percent of net 
sales, respectively, for the same periods last year.  Actual research and 
product development spending was up about 21 percent in the first six months
and, of that, about half due to the Alnor acquisition.  The Company continues 
its commitment to growth through development of new technologies and products.
For all of fiscal 1996 research and development expenses are expected to 
continue near the Company's historical range of 12 to 14 percent of sales.

Selling expenses were 25.7 percent of net sales for the second quarter compared
to 26.7 percent for the year earlier period.  For the first six months of 
fiscal 1996, selling expenses were 26.0 percent compared with 26.8 for the 
same period in fiscal 1995.  Selling expenses for the first six months were
up about 14 percent compared to the same period a year ago and about 
two-thirds of the increase was due to the addition of Alnor.

Administrative expenses were 8.9 percent and 8.6 percent of net sales for the
three and six-month periods ended September 30, 1995, respectively.  For the
same periods ended September 30, 1994, administrative expenses were 7.9 and 
8.0 percent of net sales.  The Company expects administrative costs to 
continue in a normal operating range of 7 to 9 percent of net sales through
the remainder of fiscal 1996.

Other income was $44,000 in the second quarter and $148,000 in the first six
months of fiscal 1996 compared with $119,000 and $160,000, respectively, for 
the same periods in fiscal 1995.  The decrease for the second quarter of the
current fiscal year is due to lower interest income due to lower cash balances
following the Alnor acquisition.

The provision for income taxes was based on an estimated rate of 35 percent of
pre-tax earnings for the second quarter and the six-month period of fiscal 
1996 compared with the actual rate of 33 percent for the second quarter and 
first six months of fiscal 1995.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and investments decreased by $8,457,000 to $1,094,000
at September 30, 1995, from $9,552,000 at March 31, 1995.  The decrease is 
mainly attributable to the Alnor acqusition and the building addition at the 
Shoreview headquarters facility plus increases in accounts receivable and 
inventories.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.2 as of
September 30, 1995 compared to 3.9 as of March 31, 1995.  Working capital
decreased $2,626,000 to $14,229,000 at the end of the second quarter of fiscal
1996, compared to $16,855,000 at the end of fiscal 1995, due mainly to the 
Alnor acquisition and purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Management believes internally-generated funds and short-term borrowings on
existing credit lines will provide adequate resources for supporting projected
growth during the remainder of fiscal 1996.
