            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (in thousands)

1.The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated condensed  financial  statements
  have  been  prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q  and,
  accordingly,  these  footnotes  condense or omit  certain  information  and
  disclosures  normally  included in financial statements.   These  financial
  statements,  which  in  the opinion of management reflect  all  adjustments
  necessary for a fair presentation, should be read in conjunction  with  the
  financial  statements  and notes thereto included in the  Company's  Annual
  Report   on  Form  10-K  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1993.    The
  accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements are  not
  necessarily  indicative  of future trends or the Company's  operations  for
  the entire year.

2.As  discussed in Note B to the December 31, 1993 Annual Report, on November
  11,  1993,  the  Company's Board of Director's approved a  plan  to  divest
  operations   of  the  Company's  Instrumentation  Divisions,  which   serve
  primarily   the  chromatography  and  bioscience  markets.   The  operating
  results  of these businesses through November 11, 1993 have been classified
  as  discontinued  operations in the Company's  financial  statements.   The
  operating  results of these businesses from November 11, 1993 to  the  date
  of  the  divestiture will be deferred until the divestiture  is  completed.
  The  Company expects to realize a net gain in 1994 upon the sale  of  these
  businesses.   Net  current and long-term assets of discontinued  operations
  consist  primarily of accounts receivable, inventory, property,  plant  and
  equipment,  intangibles,  and accounts payable, and  have  been  classified
  separately in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

  On  April  4, 1994, the Company entered into a purchase and sale  agreement
  for  the  sale of the net assets of its Waters Chromatography  Division  to
  Waters  Holdings  Inc., a corporation owned equally by AEA Investors,  Inc.
  and Bain Capital, Inc.

  On  July  14,  1994, the Company announced that it had finalized  an  asset
  purchase  and sale agreement for the sale of the business and  certain  net
  assets of its Biosearch division to PerSeptive Biosystems, Inc.

  The  Company expects to complete the sale of both divisions by the  end  of
  August, 1994.

3.As  discussed  in  Note I to the December 31, 1993 Annual  Report,  Eastern
  Enterprises  and its subsidiary, Ionpure Technologies Corporation  filed  a
  suit  against  the Company alleging misrepresentations made in  conjunction
  with  its  1989  purchase  of the Company's Process  Water  Division.   The
  Company  believes  that  it  has adequate and  complete  defenses  to  this
  lawsuit.   Although  the Company is unable to predict  with  certainty  the
  outcome  of  this litigation, its ultimate disposition is not  expected  to
  have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.

5.As discussed in Note F to the December 31, 1993 Annual Report,
  the Company entered into an agreement in the fourth quarter of
  1993 to retire its $100,000 notes payable bearing interest  at
  9.2  percent  before  their  call  date  of  March  30,  1995.
  Accordingly, the Company recorded an extraordinary  charge  of
  $5,906  ($3,544  net  of income taxes) in  December,  1993  to
  reflect the cost of extinguishing the notes.  In March,  1994,
  the  Company  retired  the  notes  and  simultaneously  issued
  $100,000  of  6.78% notes due in 2004.  Interest  on  the  new
  notes is payable semi-annually beginning in September, 1994.

  At  the  same time as the issuance of the $100,000 9.2 percent
  bearing  notes  described above, the Company partially  hedged
  its  Japanese  yen  net  asset exposure  by  entering  into  a
  currency  swap  by exchanging $80,000 of dollar  debt  service
  obligations  for  9,936,000  of  yen  obligations.   The   yen
  obligations bore a 5.27 percent interest rate and  matured  in
  1995.    The   effects  of  foreign  currency  exchange   rate
  fluctuations  resulting  from this swap  were  reflected  each
  reporting  period  in translation adjustment  and  transaction
  gains/losses.  The unrealized loss on this swap of  $8,833  at
  December  31,  1993  was  included  in  other  assets  in  the
  Company's balance sheet.

  In  January,  1994, the Company closed out its yen denominated
  currency  swap and simultaneously exchanged $80,000 of  dollar
  debt  service obligations for a yen denominated obligation  of
  8,760,000 yen, which bears interest at a rate of 4.49 percent.
  The swap matures in 2004.  The Company paid $10,287 in cash to
  close  out  the  old swap.  The cash payment  represented  the
  cumulative  effect  of the foreign currency rate  fluctuations
  over the life of the swap.

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



Sales  for the second quarter of 1994 increased 9 percent compared  to  sales
for  the  second  quarter of 1993.  For the first six months of  1994,  sales
increased  11  percent over the same period in 1993.  For the quarter,  sales
were  particularly strong, up 15 percent, for products and  systems  used  in
manufacturing  applications,  led  by sales  to  microelectronics  customers.
Sales  to  the laboratory/research market, however continued to grow modestly
in  the second quarter of 1994.  By geography, sales growth continued  to  be
strong  in the Asia/Pacific region, with particularly strong growth in Korea,
in the second quarter.  Sales growth in both the Americas and Europe was more
modest  in  the  second quarter of 1994 than in the first quarter.   Although
foreign  currency fluctuations had no impact on the Company's reported  sales
growth,  they  were  a  factor in the reported sales growth  within  specific
geographies,  positively impacting the Asia/Pacific region  while  negatively
impacting Europe.  Sales growth by geography is summarized as follows:

                Sales growth rates              Sales growth rates
            measured in local currencies      measured in U.S. dollars

Europe              5%         7%                   2%                3%
Asia/Pacific       17%        17%                  20%               23%

Gross  margins increased slightly during the second quarter of 1994  to  57.6
percent  as  compared to 57.0 percent in the second quarter of  1993.   Gross
margins for the first six months of 1994 improved slightly over the first six
months of 1993.  The increase in operating expenses in the second quarter  of
1994,  as  well  as  in the first six months, as compared to  1993  has  been
limited   as  management  continued  to  analyze  the  significant   business
divestiture  activities  taking place and the  resulting  required  level  of
infrastructure  spending  to support the ongoing  businesses.   Net  interest
expense  decreased 42 percent in the second quarter and first six  months  of
1994  compared  to  1993,  primarily due to a  lower  interest  rate  on  the
Company's  refinanced  long-term $100 million notes payable  as  well  as  an
overall lower level of short-term borrowings.  The Company's effective income
tax  rate  for 1994 is 22.5 percent, consistent with the full year  effective
rate in 1993.

The Company generated $32.4 million of cash from continuing operations in the
first six months of 1994 compared to $25.0 million during the same period in
1993.  In addition to the increase in net income of $19.3 million year over
year, the Company received a tax refund of $14.0 during the second quarter of
1994.  This was offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $15.2 million
in the first six months of 1994 compared to an increase of $6.2 million in
1993.  Inventories increased $6.2 million in 1994 compared to a decrease in
inventories of $5.2 million in 1993.  Property, plant and equipment
expenditures in the first six months of 1994 were lower than those for the
comparable period in 1993.  During the first six months of 1994, the Company
paid a total of $15.4 million in non-recurring financing related
transactions; $5.1 million was used to pre-pay the Company's $100 million
notes payable due in 1998, while $10.3 million was used to close out the
Company's yen currency swap.  These non-recurring payments were partially
offset by $16.9 million of cash generated from stock options exercised by
employees.
