            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   served
  primarily   chromatography  and  bioscience  markets.    Accordingly,   the
  operating  results  of  these businesses through  November  11,  1993  were
  reclassified  as  discontinued operations in the Company's  1993  financial
  statements.    On   August   18,  1994,  the  Company   sold   its   Waters
  Chromatography Division to Waters Holdings, Inc. for $330,000 in  cash  and
  $10,000  of stock.  On August 23, 1994, the Company sold certain assets  of
  its  non-membrane bioscience business (Biosearch) to PerSeptive BioSystems,
  Inc. for $10,000 in cash and 4,000 shares of preferred stock redeemable  in
  four  equal  annual installments of $10,000.  Both sales were  recorded  in
  the  third quarter of 1994 and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $8,333 ($5,000
  or  $0.18 per share net of income taxes) which included estimated costs  to
  be  incurred  in  connection with the divestitures  as  well  as pre-tax
  operating losses  of $4,189 generated by the Instrumentation Divisions from
  November 11, 1993 through the completion of the divestitures.

  The  Company netted approximately $281,000 in cash proceeds in the  third
  quarter  of 1994.  In accordance with each respective sales agreement,  the
  Company  retained  and  will collect certain customer  accounts  receivable
  balances  generated from sales of Instrumentation Division  products  prior
  to  the  completion of the divestitures; such balances were applied against
  the  cash proceeds specified in the sales agreements.  These amounts, along
  with  the  $10,000  installment  due  in  September  1995  from  PerSeptive
  BioSystems,  Inc.  which  has been recorded at its  estimated  fair  market
  value,   have  been  classified  in  Receivables  Arising  from  Sales   of
  Businesses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The  remaining
  stock  related proceeds have been recorded at their estimated  fair  market
  value  and  are  included in Other assets in the accompanying  consolidated
  balance sheets.

  Accruals associated with the divestitures consist primarily of costs to  be
  incurred  in  providing future general and administrative support  services
  for  the  divested  businesses as specified in the sales agreements,  costs
  associated with abandoning facilities operated under long-term leases,  and
  employee   termination   costs.   These  accruals  have   been   separately
  classified  in  both current and long-term liabilities in the  consolidated
  balance  sheets  based on management's estimates of when  such  liabilities
  will be settled.

3.On  August  24, 1994, the Company initiated a Dutch Auction Self-Tender  to
  repurchase  up  to 3,500 shares of common stock.  The tender offer  expired
  on  September  22, 1994, at which time the Company elected to increase  the
  number  of  shares  to  3,771.   All tendered shares  were  repurchased  on
  September  29,  1994  at  $57.25 per share and are classified  as  Treasury
  Stock in the accompanying consolidated balances sheets.

4.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 percent 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 notes bearing
  interest at 9.2 percent 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 accounted for 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.

6.Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1993 financial
  statements to conform to the 1994 presentation.


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



Sales  for the third quarter of 1994 increased 11 percent compared  to  sales
for the third quarter of 1993.  For the first nine months of 1994, sales also
increased  11  percent over the same period in 1993.  For the quarter,  sales
were   up   15  percent  for  products  and  systems  used  in  manufacturing
applications,  led  by  sales to microelectronics customers.   Sales  to  the
laboratory/research  market  grew 7 percent in the  quarter.   By  geography,
sales  growth in the Asia/Pacific region was 20 percent in the third quarter,
with  continued  strong growth in Korea.  Sales growth in  Europe,  aided  in
large  part by a weaker dollar, grew 13 percent, while sales in the  Americas
region  grew  2  percent  in  the  quarter.   Foreign  currency  fluctuations
increased reported sales growth by 4 points for the quarter, and 1 point  for
the first nine months.  Sales growth by geography is summarized as follows:

Gross  margins increased during the third quarter of 1994 to 57.0 percent  as
compared to 55.7 percent in the third quarter of 1993.  Gross margins for the
first  nine months of 1994 have improved slightly over the first nine  months
of  1993.  The percentage increase in operating expenses in the third quarter
of  1994 was higher than the percentage increase in the first two quarters of
1994  as the Company continues to fund programs designed to fuel future sales
growth.   The  Company generated approximately $1.6 million of  non-recurring
interest  income  in  the  third quarter of 1994 by  investing  the  proceeds
received from the sale of its Waters Chromatography Division.  Excluding this
non-recurring item, net interest expense for the first nine months of 1994 is
lower  than the comparable period in 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 on operations for 1994 is 22.5 percent, consistent with  the
full year effective rate in 1993.

The Company generated $57.2 million of cash from the operating activities of
continuing operations in the first nine months of 1994 compared to $44.5
million during the same period in 1993.  In addition to the increase in net
income from continuing operations of $15.0 million period over period, the
Company received a tax refund of $14.0 million in 1994.  These sources of
cash were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $14.5
million in the first nine months of 1994 compared to an increase of $9.9
million in 1993.  In addition, inventories increased $5.6 million in 1994
compared to a decrease in inventories of $4.2 million in 1993.  Property,
plant and equipment expenditures in the first nine months of 1994 were lower
than those for the comparable period in 1993.  During the first nine 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.

In addition, the Company collected $281.0 million of net proceeds from the
sale of its Waters Chromatography and BioScience Divisions in the third
quarter of 1994.  The Company spent approximately $216.0 million from the net
proceeds to buy back shares of its common stock in a Dutch Auction
Self-Tender.  The Company intends to continue to make open market share
repurchases and has allocated $100 million for this program.
