   MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                                  OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Structural Instrumentation, Inc. - SI - manufactures microprocessor-based
weighing systems for the transportation industry.  The three general types of
electronic scales manufactured include:  on-board weighing systems installed in
the frame or suspension system of a vehicle, semi-permanent industrial axle
scales, and portable platform scales used both by weight enforcement agencies
and general transportation companies.

Headquartered in Tukwila, Washington, SI went public in 1983 under the name of
Invention, Design, Engineering Associates, Inc.  With the acquisition of
Structural Instrumentation, Inc. in 1987 and LODEC in 1990, SI became a leading
international manufacturer and marketer of weighing systems.

Customers recognize SI (Structural Instrumentation) and LODEC individually as
pioneers and leaders in the use of strain gauge technology in electronic
weighing.  Both firms trace their origins to the aerospace industry.  SI
evolves from the engineering group responsible for "structural instrumentation"
used during the Boeing Company's SST project.  LODEC represents an offshoot
from ELDEC Corporation, an aerospace firm providing precision sensor
technology.  In 1993 the company changed its name to Structural
Instrumentation, Inc. and is listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange as SISI.

SI's on-board weighing systems enable trucking operators to avoid fines for
exceeding legal weight limits while maximizing hauling capacity.  The
microprocessor-based weighing systems also allow drivers to accurately measure
payload, even during loading and off-loading, for net weight, gross weight, and
incremental weight change for part or all of a vehicle.

Principal markets served by SI include:

Forestry

    Logging truck operators use SI scales to reduce overweight fines and
    improve load management.  Loggers, fighting for survival, are being forced
    to find ways to improve efficiency.  SI scales are one solution.

Refuse / Solid Waste

    The solid waste industry faces increased weight-based tipping fees as
    landfill capacity diminishes.  Operators concerned about payload management
    use on-board scales to improve their marketing, pricing and route
    scheduling.

Bulk Commodity Hauling

    This segment involves operators transporting a wide range of commodity
    products including livestock, agricultural products, quarry and
    construction materials, and industrial liquids and gases.  On-board scales
    are used to monitor and manage loading and delivery of product.

Industrial Axle Scale

    Key markets include common carrier freight terminals, distribution centers
    and transfer stations.

Government Weight Enforcement

    Weight enforcement agencies use SI portable scales to enforce legal weight
    limits.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales

    Net sales increased by $38,000 (2%) for the third quarter ended April 30,
    1995 over the comparable period in the prior year.  The company continues
    to benefit from increased sales of new products developed and introduced to
    the on-board markets in 1994.





                                       6
<PAGE>   7
Gross Margin

    Gross Margin for the period of 51.1% increased by 1.3% over 3rd quarter
    gross margin in fiscal 1994.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

    Increased SG & A expenses reflect higher sales volume and continued
    investment in a substantial sales organization to build the company's
    dealer network and penetrate new markets.

Research and Development and Engineering Expenses

    Research, Development & Engineering expenditures are for the development of
    new products or applications for electronic weighing systems in the
    transportation industry as well as obtaining product certifications.  RD &
    E expenses increased by $130,000 for the three month period ended April 30,
    1995 versus the same period in 1994 due to increased activity in product
    development.

Amortization of Intangibles

    The amortization of intangibles from second quarter, fiscal year 1994 to
    the second quarter of fiscal 1995 decreased by $19,000 (36.5%) due to the
    reduction in non-compete amortization as certain non-compete agreements
    become fully amortized.

Interest Expense

    Interest expense decreased by $27,000 for the three months ended April 30,
    1995 over the comparable prior year period due to the settlement of several
    put option obligations in prior periods and reduced borrowing on the
    company's line of credit.  Strong cash flow over the past six quarters has
    allowed the company to substantially reduce overall debt.

INFLATION

Historically, the impact of inflation has been negligible, as the Company has
been able to offset the effects through efficiency gains and price increases.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's line of credit of $1,800,000 which matured November 30, 1994, was
renewed with US Bank of Seattle effective December 1, 1994.  The new line of
credit was opened for $2,000,000 and included more favorable terms for the
company than the prior agreement.  As of April 30, 1995 the Company had
borrowed $ -0- under the line of credit.

The Company believes cash flow from operations and the funds available under
its bank facility will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital
needs.

PUT OPTION OBLIGATIONS

The liability associated with the company's agreements to repurchase 77,000
shares of the Company's stock upon exercise of the remaining put options, is
included in the put option obligation liability section of the Company's
balance sheet as of April 30, 1995.
