            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,  1994.    The
  accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements are  not
  necessarily  indicative  of future trends or the Company's  operations  for
  the entire year.

2.On  June 8, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one
  stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend, payable on July 21,  1995
  to  shareholders  of  record  as of June 23, 1995.   Par  value  per  share
  remained  at  $1.00.   The stock split resulted in the issuance  of  28,494
  additional  shares  of  common stock from authorized but  unissued  shares.
  The  issuance of additional shares resulted in the transfer of $23,603 from
  additional  paid  in  capital and $4,891 from retained earnings  to  common
  stock,  representing  the  par  value of the shares  issued.   Accordingly,
  weighted average share and per share amounts have been restated to  reflect
  the stock split.

3.As  discussed  in  footnote F to the December 31, 1994 annual  report,  the
  cumulative  unrealized loss on the Company's foreign currency  Yen  and  DM
  swaps  of $9,327 at December 31, 1994 was recorded as a reduction in  other
  assets in the Company's December 31, 1994 consolidated balance sheet.

  The  Company's DM swap expired on March 31, 1995.  The Company paid  $3,546
  in  cash  to  close  out  the  swap.   The  cash  payment  represented  the
  cumulative effect of the foreign currency rate fluctuations over  the  life
  of the swap.

  The  cumulative  unrealized  loss on the Company's  Yen  currency  swap  of
  $7,199  at  September  30,  1995  is recorded  in  long-term  debt  in  the
  Company's   unaudited   June   30,   1995   consolidated   balance   sheet.
  Accordingly,  the  cumulative unrealized loss of  $9,327  at  December  31,
  1994,  as discussed above, has been reclassified to long-term debt  in  the
  December  31,  1994  consolidated balance sheet  to  conform  to  the  1995
  presentation.

4.Depreciation  on property, plant and equipment acquired before  January  1,
  1989  generally  is provided using accelerated methods over  the  estimated
  useful  lives  of  the  assets.   Assets acquired  after  January  1,  1989
  primarily  are  depreciated  using straight-line  methods.   The  estimated
  useful lives of the Company's depreciable assets are as follows:

              Leasehold Improvements        Life of the Lease
              Buildings and Improvements       10-30 Years
              Production and Other Equipment   3-15 Years

5.The  Company  and  Waters  Holdings, Inc. are  engaged  in  an  arbitration
  proceeding  with  respect the transfer of certain assets  relating  to  the
  Company's  Retirement Plan.  The Company believes that it  has  meritorious
  arguments and should prevail.  The ultimate disposition is not expected  to
  have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.

6.In  August, 1995, the Company received 912 shares of PerSeptive Biosystems'
  common  stock  in partial redemption of the PerSeptive preferred  stock  it
  received  in  connection  with  the  Company's  sale  of  its  non-membrane
  bioscience  business  to  PerSeptive  in  1994.   These  shares  have  been
  recorded  at  historical cost, which management believes approximates  fair
  value.   Any  realized gain on the sale of these shares will be  recognized
  when the shares are sold.

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



Consolidated  net  sales increased 19 percent in the third  quarter  of  1995
compared  to  the  third  quarter of 1994, led by a 37  percent  increase  in
worldwide  sales to customers in the electronics / industrial market.   Sales
to biotechnology / pharmaceutical customers increased 15 percent in the third
quarter  of 1995 compared to the third quarter of 1994.  The following  table
summarizes sales growth by geography and market:

Foreign  currency  rate fluctuations, specifically the strengthening  of  the
Japanese Yen, French Franc, and German Deutsch Mark against the U.S.  dollar,
increased reported sales growth by 3 percent in the third quarter of 1995 and
7 percent for the first nine months of 1995.

Gross margins increased in the third quarter of 1995 to 58.5 percent of sales
as  compared to 57.0 percent in the third quarter of 1994. The improvement in
gross  margins is primarily due to significantly increased production  volume
in the Company's electronics / industrial plants.

Selling,  general  and administrative expenses increased 22  percent  in  the
third  quarter  of  1995 compared to the third quarter  of  1994,  reflecting
investment  in  the  field  sales and marketing areas  in  order  to  sustain
continued  sales  growth.  Research and development  expenses  in  the  third
quarter of 1995 increased 12 percent over the third quarter of 1994,  as  the
Company  continued to fund all major programs.  Net interest expense  in  the
third  quarter  of 1994 includes approximately $1.6 million of  non-recurring
interest  income  generated  by  investing the  proceeds  received  from  the
Company's  sale of its Waters Chromatography Division.  Excluding  this  non-
recurring item, net interest expense in the third quarter and the first  nine
months  of 1995 is higher compared to 1994 primarily due to increased  short-
term  borrowings.  The Company's effective income tax rate for the first nine
months of 1995 is 22.5 percent, consistent with the full year effective  rate
in 1994.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                 (continued)



A  substantial portion of the Company's business is conducted outside of  the
United States through its foreign subsidiaries.  This exposes the Company  to
risks associated with foreign currency rate fluctuations which can impact the
Company's  revenue  and  net income.  To partially mitigate  this  risk,  the
Company  has  entered into foreign currency transactions,  primarily  forward
exchange  contracts to sell Yen, on a continuing basis in amounts and  timing
consistent with the underlying currency exposure so that the gains or  losses
on  these transactions offset gains or losses on the underlying exposure.  In
the  third  quarter of 1995, a loss of $1,033K was realized on the  Company's
forward  exchange contracts and was recorded in cost of sales.  For the  nine
months  ended September 30, 1995, losses of $2,307 have been realized on  the
Company's  forward  exchange contracts and recorded in cost  of  sales.   The
Company does not engage in any speculative trading activity.

The Company generated $58.7  million of cash from continuing operations in
the first nine months of 1995 compared to $57.2  million in the first nine
months of 1994.  Cash generated from operations and $45.9 million of
additional short-term borrowings in the first nine months of 1995 was used to
invest in fixed assets, satisfy ongoing obligations relating to the divested
businesses, pay dividends, and buy back shares of the Company's stock.
Property, plant and equipment expenditures in the first nine months of 1995
were higher than the same period of 1994.  The Company expects capital
expenditures in the fourth quarter 0f 1995 to be higher than those of the the
third quarter.

During the first nine months of 1995, the Company spent $76.4 million to re-
purchase shares of its common stock.  In the first quarter of 1995, the
Company announced plans to spend an additional $50 million on open market
share repurchases and has spent $30 million in share repurchases to date.
The Company expects that further 1995 share repurchases will be funded by
cash generated from its operations.

The Company spent approximately $2.0 million in the third quarter to satisfy
obligations arising from discontinued operations.  This amount was in line
with the Company's expectations.  The Company expects cash expenditures
related to its discontinued operations for the fourth quarter of 1995 to be
in line with those of the third quarter.
