                        IONICS, INCORPORATED

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


    1.  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated
        financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
        only normal, recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly
        the consolidated financial position of the Company as of June
        30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the consolidated results of
        its operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
        1995 and 1994 and the consolidated cash flows for the six
        months then ended.


    2.  The consolidated results of operations of the Company for the
        three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 are not
        necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be
        expected for the full year.


    3.  Reference is made to the Notes to Consolidated Financial
        Statements appearing in the Company's 1994 Annual Report as
        filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange
        Commission.  There have been no significant changes in the
        information reported in those Notes, other than from the
        normal business activities of the Company, and there have been
        no changes which would, in the opinion of Management, have a
        materially adverse effect upon the Company.


    4.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
        to the current year presentation with no impact on net income.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 with the
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1994

Revenues for the second quarter of 1995 increased 13.5% to $56.5
million from $49.8 million in 1994.  Revenues for the six-month period
increased 10.3% to $113.4 million from $102.9 million in the
comparable period in 1994.  Revenues were higher in all three business
segments for both the three and six-month periods.  The largest
increase in revenues for the second quarter was in the Membranes and
Related Equipment segment, while the largest increase in revenues in
the six-month period was in the Water, Food and Chemical Supply
segment.

Revenues from the Membranes and Related Equipment segment grew in both
the second quarter and the six-month period with increased sales of
spare parts and traditional capital equipment.  In addition, during
the six-month period this segment experienced continuing strength in
the sale of ultrapure water systems, particularly to the semiconductor
industry, and higher revenues from zero liquid discharge systems. 

Revenues from the Water, Food and Chemical Supply segment increased in
both periods due to continuing growth in the Company's own and operate
and service businesses.  Consumer Products revenues increased in both
the second quarter and the six-month period with higher revenues from
bottled water and home water products.  During the six-month period,
these increases were partially offset by softness, experienced during
the first quarter of 1995, in sales of certain other consumer
products, particularly windshield wash.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues for the second quarter was
66.8% in 1995 and 68.1% in 1994.  For the six-month period, cost of
sales as a percentage of revenues was 67.4% in 1995 and 69.3% in 1994.
The most significant improvement occurred during both periods in the
Membranes and Related Equipment segment due to a more favorable mix
between capital equipment and spare parts revenues and to a decrease
in manufacturing overhead costs as a percentage of revenues resulting
from increased sales of capital equipment.

Improvement during both periods in cost of sales as a percentage of
revenues in the Consumer Products segment resulted from an overall
improvement in product mix.  Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues
remained substantially consistent during both periods in the Water,
Food and Chemical Supply segment.

                                 -6-
                                                                  /7




Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased during the
second quarter to 21.6% in 1995 from 22.2% in 1994 due to higher
absorption of relatively fixed operating expenses by increased sales
volume.  For the six-month period, operating expenses as a percentage
of revenues of 21.6% in 1995 remained substantially consistent with
1994.  

Interest income decreased during both the second quarter and the six-
month period as lower average cash and invested balances were
partially offset by higher average interest rates. 

Financial Condition

Working capital decreased by $6.6 million during the first six months
of 1995 while the current ratio remained consistent at 2.1 as of both
June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994.  Cash provided from net income,
depreciation and collection of accounts receivable totaled $25.5
million during the first six months of 1995 while the primary uses of
cash were for additions to property, plant and equipment and for
payment of accounts payable.  Significant capital expenditures were
incurred to support growth in the bottled water operations, bleach
operations, trailers and other "own and operate" facilities.

At June 30, 1995, the Company had $13.8 million in cash and short-term
investments, a decrease of $6.8 million from December 31, 1994.  The
Company believes that its cash and short-term investments, cash from
operations, lines of credit and foreign exchange facilities are
adequate to meet its currently anticipated needs.
