                 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  General

    The interim consolidated financial statements presented have been prepared
by Metrika Systems Corporation (the Company) without audit and, in the opinion
of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary
for a fair statement of the financial position at July 4, 1998, the results of
operations for the three- and six-month periods ended July 4, 1998, and June 28,
1997, and the cash flows for the six-month periods ended July 4, 1998, and June
28, 1997. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full
year.

    The consolidated balance sheet presented as of January 3, 1998, has been
derived from the consolidated financial statements that have been audited by the
Company's independent public accountants. The consolidated financial statements
and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain
information included in the annual financial statements and notes of the
Company. The consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 1998,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

3.  Comprehensive Income

    During the first quarter of 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This
pronouncement sets forth requirements for disclosure of the Company's
comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive items. In general,
comprehensive income combines net income and "other comprehensive items," which
represent certain amounts that are reported as components of shareholders'
investment in the accompanying balance sheet, including foreign currency
translation adjustments and unrealized, net of tax, gains and losses from
available-for-sale investments. During the second quarter of 1998 and 1997, the
Company's comprehensive income totaled $1,907,000 and $1,287,000, respectively.
During the first six months of 1998 and 1997, the Company's comprehensive income
totaled $3,836,000 and $3,015,000, respectively.

4.  Subsequent Event

    In July 1998, the Company acquired the stock of Honeywell-Measurex Data
Measurement Corporation (DMC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell-Measurex,
for approximately $29,000,000 in cash, subject to a post-closing adjustment. DMC
is a manufacturer of computerized, noncontact thickness, coating, and other
measurement systems for the worldwide web-processing industry. This acquisition
will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and its results
will be included with the Company's results from the date of acquisition.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

    Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are made throughout this Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. For
this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of
historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting
the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "seeks,"
"estimates," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause the results
of the Company to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking
statements, including those detailed under the heading "Forward-looking
Statements" in Exhibit 13 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended January 3, 1998, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Overview

    The Company develops, manufactures, and markets on-line process-
optimization systems that employ proprietary ultrahigh-speed advanced scientific
measurement technologies for applications in raw-materials analysis and
finished-materials quality control. The Company's on-line raw-materials analysis
business (raw-materials business) is a pioneer in the development of
process-optimization systems that provide real-time, nondestructive analysis of
the composition of raw materials in basic-

                                       8
<PAGE>

Overview (continued)

materials production processes, including coal, cement, and minerals. The
Company's on-line finished-materials quality-control business
(finished-materials business) manufactures advanced systems that are used to
measure and control parameters such as material thickness, coating thickness,
and coating weight in web-type materials, such as metal strip, rubber, and
plastic foils. Customers use these systems to improve product quality and
consistency, lower material costs, reduce energy consumption, and minimize
waste.

    The Company intends to supplement its internal growth with strategic
acquisitions of complementary businesses. There can be no assurance that such
businesses will be available at prices attractive to the Company. In July 1998,
the Company acquired the stock of Honeywell-Measurex Data Measurement
Corporation (DMC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell- Measurex. DMC
manufactures computerized, noncontact thickness, coating, and other measurement
systems for the worldwide web-processing industry.

    A significant portion of the Company's sales are of large systems, the
timing of which can lead to variability in the Company's quarterly revenues and
income. In addition, in 1997, approximately 51% of the Company's revenues
originated outside the U.S. and approximately 33% were exports from the U.S.
Sales originating outside the U.S. represent revenues of the Company's
finished-materials business, the operations of which are located in Germany, the
United Kingdom, and France, and principally sell in their local currencies.

    Exports from the Company's U.S. operations are denominated in U.S. dollars.
The Company generally seeks to charge its customers in the same currency as its
operating costs. However, the Company's financial performance and competitive
position can be affected by currency exchange rate fluctuations. Since the
operations of the finished-materials business are conducted in Europe,
principally Germany, the Company's operating results could be adversely affected
by capital spending and economic conditions in Europe. The Company's strategy is
to expand its finished-materials business in geographic areas outside of Europe
with particular emphasis on North America, which in turn may reduce the
Company's exposure to European market conditions.

Results of Operations

Second Quarter 1998 Compared With Second Quarter 1997

    Revenues increased to $14,384,000 in the second quarter of 1998 from
$14,133,000 in the second quarter of 1997. Revenues increased $346,000 at the
raw-materials business, primarily due to increased sales in the U.S. as a result
of new product introductions. This increase, together with slightly higher sales
at the finished-materials business, was offset in part by the unfavorable
effects of currency translation as a result of the strengthening of the U.S.
dollar relative to foreign currencies in countries in which the Company
operates, which decreased revenues by $234,000.

<PAGE>


Second Quarter 1998 Compared With Second Quarter 1997 (continued)

    The gross profit margin was 46% in the second quarter of 1998 and 1997. The
gross profit margin at the finished-materials business improved to 45.5% in 1998
from 44.4% in 1997, principally due to higher costs incurred in the 1997 period
relating to the introduction of new products, and an increase in higher-margin
sales in 1998 resulting from the introduction of such new products. The gross
profit margin at the raw-materials business decreased to 47% in 1998 from 48% in
1997, primarily as a result of costs incurred to relocate and integrate
Autometrics, acquired in December 1996.

    Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 23% in the second quarter of 1998 from 24% in the second quarter of
1997, primarily due to a slight reduction in corporate expenses. Research and
development expenses decreased to $629,000 in the second quarter of 1998 from
$1,053,000 in the second quarter of 1997, due primarily to the completion of
development of new products introduced in 1997.

    Interest income increased to $700,000 in the second quarter of 1998 from
$253,000 in the second quarter of 1997, primarily due to interest earned on the
invested net proceeds from the Company's June 1997 initial public offering.
Interest expense decreased to $104,000 in the second quarter of 1998 from
$239,000 in the second quarter of 1997, principally due to a decrease in
short-term borrowings at foreign divisions, as well as a decrease in applicable
interest rates.

    The effective tax rate was 39% and 40% in the second quarter of 1998 and
1997, respectively. The effective tax rates exceeded the statutory federal
income tax rate primarily due to the impact of state income taxes, nondeductible
amortization of cost in excess of net assets of acquired companies, and foreign
tax rate and tax law differences.

    The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the year 2000 on
the processing of date-sensitive information by the Company's computerized
information systems and on products sold as well as products purchased by the
Company. The Company believes that its internal information systems and current
products are either year 2000 compliant or will be so prior to the year 2000
without incurring material costs. There can be no assurance, however, that the
Company will not experience unexpected costs and delays in achieving year 2000
compliance for its internal information systems and current products, which
could result in a material adverse effect on the Company's future results of
operations.

    The Company is presently assessing the effect that the year 2000 problem may
have on its previously sold products. The Company is also assessing whether its
key suppliers are adequately addressing this issue and the effect this might
have on the Company. The Company has not completed its analysis and is unable to
conclude at this time that the

Second Quarter 1998 Compared With Second Quarter 1997 (continued)

year 2000 problem as it relates to its previously sold products and products
purchased from key suppliers is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse
effect on the Company's future results of operations.

First Six Months 1998 Compared With First Six Months 1997

    Revenues increased 9% to $29,096,000 in the first six months of 1998 from
$26,725,000 in the first six months of 1997. Revenues from the Company's
existing operations grew by 11%, excluding the effect of unfavorable foreign
currency translation. Revenues at the finished-materials business increased by
$1,976,000, principally due to an increase in demand as a result of new product
introductions. This increase was offset in part by the unfavorable effects of
currency translation as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar
relative to foreign currencies in countries in which the Company operates, which
decreased revenues by $661,000. Revenues increased $1,056,000 at the
raw-materials business, primarily due to increased sales in the U.S.

    The gross profit margin was 45% in the first six months of 1998 and 1997.
The gross profit margin at the finished-materials business improved to 43% in
1998 from 42% in 1997. The gross profit margin at the raw-materials business
decreased to 47% in 1998 from 48% in 1997. These changes occurred principally
for the reasons discussed in the results of operations for the second quarter.

    Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 24% in the first six months of 1998 from 25% in the first six
months of 1997, primarily due to increased revenues. Research and development
expenses decreased to $1,621,000 in the first six months of 1998 from $2,060,000
in the first six months of 1997, primarily due to the reason discussed in the
results of operations for the second quarter.

    Interest income increased to $1,391,000 in the first six months of 1998 from
$473,000 in the first six months of 1997. Interest expense decreased to $236,000
in the first six months of 1998 from $440,000 in the first six months of 1997.
These changes occurred principally for the reasons discussed in the results of
operations for the second quarter.

    The effective tax rate was 39% and 40% in the first six months of 1998 and
1997, respectively. The effective tax rates exceeded the statutory federal
income tax rate primarily due to the impact of state income taxes, nondeductible
amortization of cost in excess of net assets of acquired companies, and foreign
tax rate and tax law differences.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Consolidated working capital was $52,227,000 at July 4, 1998, compared with
$47,975,000 at January 3, 1998. Included in working capital are cash, cash
equivalents, and available-for-sale investments of $51,129,000 at July 4, 1998,
compared with $50,289,000 at January 3, 1998.

    During the first six months of 1998, $5,270,000 of cash was provided by
operating activities. Cash provided by the Company's operating results was
improved primarily by a $5,237,000 reduction in accounts receivable, offset in
part by a $2,635,000 increase in inventories and unbilled contract costs and
fees. The decrease in accounts receivable was principally due to the timing of
cash collections. The increase in inventories and unbilled contract costs and
fees resulted primarily from the timing of billing on percentage-of-completion
contracts.

    During the first six months of 1998, $190,000 of cash was used for investing
activities consisting primarily of expenditures for the purchase of property,
plant, and equipment. In the remainder of 1998, the Company plans to make
capital expenditures of approximately $500,000.

    In July 1998, the Company acquired the stock of DMC for approximately
$29,000,000 in cash (Note 4). The Company used internal funds to finance the
acquisition.

    During the second quarter of 1998, $4,514,000 of cash was used for financing
activities, principally to fund a decrease in short-term borrowings.

    Although the Company expects to have positive cash flow from its existing
operations, the Company may require significant amounts of cash for the
acquisition of complementary businesses. The Company expects that it will
finance any such acquisitions through a combination of internal funds and/or
short-term borrowings from Thermo Instrument Systems Inc. or Thermo Electron
Corporation, although it has no agreement with these companies to ensure that
funds will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company believes
that its existing resources are sufficient to meet the capital requirements of
its existing businesses for the foreseeable future.
