   Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

        On December 1, 1995, Thermedics Inc. (the "Company") acquired all of
   the outstanding capital stock of Analytical Technology, Inc. ("ATI")
   pursuant to a merger (the "Merger").

        In a separate transaction consummated immediately prior to the
   effectiveness of the Merger, Thermo Instrument Systems Inc. ("Thermo
   Instrument"), which is an affiliate of the Company, purchased ATI's
   analytical instruments business (the "Thermo Instrument Acquisition") in
   exchange for Thermo Instrument's demand promissory note in the principal
   amount of $34,933,000 (the "Thermo Instrument Note"). Consequently, at the
   effective time of the Merger, ATI's assets consisted principally of its
   Orion Laboratory Products Division ("Orion") and the Thermo Instrument
   Note. Orion, based in Boston, Massachusetts, is a provider of
   electrochemistry, microweighing and other instruments to detect the
   chemical composition of foods, beverages and pharmaceuticals.

        The base purchase price of the capital stock of ATI acquired in the
   Merger (the "Aggregate Purchase Price") was $79,284,000 in cash, plus the
   assumption of approximately $15,600,000 in bank indebtedness existing as of
   the closing of the Merger. Of these amounts, $34,933,000 was paid to the
   former ATI shareholders by Thermo Instrument at the direction of the
   Company in exchange for the cancellation of the Thermo Instrument Note, and
   Thermo Instrument assumed approximately $7,000,000 of such bank
   indebtedness. As a result, the effective base purchase price paid by the
   Company for Orion (the "Orion Purchase Price") was $44,351,000 in cash,  
   plus assumed bank indebtedness of approximately $8,600,000, which was
   repaid shortly after closing. As of February 13, 1996, Thermo Instrument
   and the Company have reached a preliminary agreement between themselves
   resulting in a reduction of the Orion Purchase Price to $52,198,000,
   including approximately $8,600,000 million indebtedness referred to above.

        The Aggregate Purchase Price is subject to a post-closing adjustment,
   and will either be (i) increased by the amount by which ATI's net tangible
   equity as of the closing (without taking into account the Thermo Instrument
   Acquisition) exceeds a deficit of $1,989,000; or (ii) decreased by the
   amount by which a deficit of $1,989,000 exceeds such net tangible equity.
   The Company and Thermo Instrument have agreed that, in the event that the
   Aggregate Purchase Price is so adjusted, then the portion of such
   adjustment that is attributable to the operations of the businesses
   acquired by Thermo Instrument will be paid to, or by, Thermo Instrument, as
   the case may be.

        The Merger was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger
   executed as of November 29, 1995, by and among the Company, ATI Merger
   Corp. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), ATI and, for certain
   limited purposes, Thermo Instrument. The Orion Purchase Price was based on
   the Company's determination of the fair market value of Orion's business,
   and the terms of the merger agreement were determined by arms' length
   negotiation among the parties.

        The Company expects to move Orion's headquarters and certain of its
   manufacturing operations upon the expiration of certain lease commitments.
   Otherwise, the Company has no present intention to use Orion's plant,
   equipment or other assets for purposes materially different from the
   purposes for which such assets were used prior to the acquisition. However,
   the Company will review Orion's business and assets, corporate structure,
   capitalization, operations, properties, policies, management and personnel
   and, upon completion of this review, may develop alternative plans or
   proposals, including mergers, transfers of a material amount of assets or
   other transactions or changes relating to such business.

        Of the Orion Purchase Price, $38,000,000 was borrowed from Thermo
   Electron Corporation ("Thermo Electron") pursuant to a promissory note due
   December 9, 1996 and bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate
   of the Commercial Paper Composite Rate as reported by Merrill Lynch Capital
   Markets, as an average of the last five business days of each fiscal
   quarter, plus 25 basis points, and the balance was funded from the
   Company's working capital.

                    Report of Independent Public Accountants


   To the Orion Lab Products Division of Analytical Technology, Inc.:

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of the Orion
   Lab Products Division of Analytical Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries as of
   December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994, and the related consolidated
   statements of income, stockholders' investment, and cash flows for each of
   the two years in the period ended December 31, 1994. These financial
   statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
   responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
   on our audits.

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
   standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
   obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
   of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
   evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
   statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
   and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
   overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
   provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
   present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
   Orion Lab Products Division of Analytical Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries
   as of December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994 and the results of their
   operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period
   ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
   principles.

   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

   1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   Basis of Presentation

   Orion Lab Products Division (the "Company") was a wholly owned division of
   Analytical Technology, Inc. ("ATI"). On December 1, 1995, all of the
   outstanding capital stock of ATI was purchased by Thermedics Inc.
   (Thermedics), a 51%-owned subsidiary of Thermo Electron Corporation for a
   purchase price of approximately $52.2 million in cash, including the
   repayment of approximately $8.6 million in debt. No adjustment has been
   made to the consolidated financial statements due to or as a result of this
   transaction.

   In a separate transaction consummated immediately prior to the Thermedics
   purchase, ATI sold its analytical instruments business to Thermo Instrument
   Systems Inc., an affiliate of Thermedics.

   Principles of Consolidation

   The accompany financial statements include the accounts of the company  and
   its wholly owned subsidiaries,  Orion Research Puerto  Rico and Russell  pH
   Ltd.  All  material  intercompany  accounts  and  transactions  have   been
   eliminated.

   Fiscal Year

   The Company's fiscal year is the  52-53 week period ending on the  Saturday
   nearest to December  31. References  to 1994 and  1993 are  for the  fiscal
   years ended December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994, respectively.

   Revenue Recognition

   The Company recognizes revenues upon shipment of its products. The  Company
   provides a reserve for its estimate  of warranty and installation costs  at
   time of shipment. Revenues billed  in advance for annual service  contracts
   are recorded  as revenue  over the  12-month period  in which  the  related
   services are rendered.

   Income Taxes

   The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)  No.
   109, "Accounting for  Income Taxes"  effective the beginning  of 1993.  The
   Standard, more fully described in Note 4, requires the liability method  to
   be used in accounting for income taxes.

   Cash Equivalents

   The Company  considers all  highly liquid  investments with  a maturity  of
   three  months  or  less  when  purchased  to  be  cash  equivalents.   Cash
   equivalents are valued at cost which approximates market.

   1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

   Inventories

   Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the first in,
   first out (FIFO) method or market value and include material, labor, and
   manufacturing overhead.

   Equipment and Improvements

   Equipment and improvements are carried at cost. The Company provides for
   depreciation and amortization on the straight-line method using the
   following lives:

             Production and research equipment       3-5 years
             Office furniture and equipment          3-5 years
             Leased property                         3 years
             Buildings and improvements              Life of lease or asset

   Cost in Excess of Net Assets Acquired

   The Company accounts for cost in excess of net assets acquired (goodwill)
   at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. On an ongoing basis,
   management reviews the value and period of amortization of goodwill. During
   this review, the Company reevaluates the significant assumption used in
   determining the original cost of acquired businesses and related goodwill.
   Although the assumptions used may vary from transaction to transaction,
   they generally include revenue growth, operating results, cash flows and
   other indicators of value. Management then determines whether there has
   been a permanent impairment of the value of goodwill based upon events or
   circumstances which have occurred since acquisition.

   Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years.
   Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994 was
   $2,209,000 and $1,852,000, respectively.

   Other Assets

   Other assets  are amortized  over the  appropriate life  of the  asset  and
   include the following as of December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994:

                                                                Amortization

   1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

   Foreign Currency Translation

   In accordance with SFAS No. 52, assets and liabilities of such subsidiaries
   are translated at the rate of  exchange in effect at year-end and  revenues
   and expenses are translated at the  average exchange rates during the year
   Gains and losses from translation are credited or charged to the cumulative.
   translation adjustment included in  stockholder's equity. Foreign  currency
   transaction gains and losses are included in the accompanying  consolidated
   statement of income and are not material for the years presented.

   Interim Financial Statements

   The financial statements as of September 30, 1995 and for the nine-month
   periods ended September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994 are unaudited but, in
   the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring
   nature necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim
   periods. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended
   September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
   expected for the entire year.


   2.   Commitments

   The Company leases equipment and facilities under operating leases and
   certain equipment under capital leases. These leases require the following
   minimum payments:

   The holder of the industrial development revenue bonds can require payment
   of the outstanding balance. If the prepayment were to occur, the prepayment
   would be funded by amounts drawn from the parent revolving credit
   agreements; accordingly, the bonds have been classified as noncurrent in
   the consolidated balance sheet. The industrial development revenue bond
   agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants including the
   maintenance of certain levels of working capital, net worth, cash flows,
   and certain financial ratios. The mortgage is secured by land and buildings
   at the facility in Scotland.

   4.   Income Taxes

   Effective January 3, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting
   for Income Taxes." Under SFAS No. 109, the liability method is used in
   accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and
   liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting
   and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted
   tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected
   to reverse. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 109, income tax expense was
   determined using the liability method prescribed by SFAS No. 96, which is
   superseded by SFAS No. 109.

   The components of income before income taxes are as follows:

   A provision has not been made for U.S. or additional foreign taxes on $1
   million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that could be
   subject to taxation if remitted to the U.S. because the Company plans to
   keep such earnings permanently reinvested overseas. The Company believes
   that any additional tax liability due upon remittance would be immaterial.

   The Company has a wholly owned Puerto Rican subsidiary. The earnings of
   this subsidiary are substantially exempt from federal income taxes and 75%
   of the earnings of this subsidiary are exempt from Puerto Rican income
   taxes through 1998. Dividends paid by this subsidiary are subject to a
   Puerto Rican tollgate withholding tax of up to 5%.

   5.   Restructuring

   During 1993, the Company initiated a restructuring of its operations. As a
   result, the Company provided $1,460,000 for restructuring costs in 1993,
   for severance and the write-down and disposal of various operating assets.
   As a result of this restructuring, at January 1, 1994, the Company had an
   accrued severance and restructuring balance of $250,000, which consisted
   primarily of severance costs and costs associated with the discontinuance
   of product lines and disposal of certain operating assets.

   During 1994, the Company charged $9,000 against accrued severance and
   restructuring. As of December 31, 1994, the balance of accrued severance
   and restructuring costs are $241,000.


   6.   Employee Retirement Plans

   Employee Tax Deferred Savings Plan

   The Company participates in ATI's tax deferred employee benefit plan for
   its U.S. employees under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code section
   401(k). The Company, at its discretion, can match up to 50% or more of
   employee contributions up to 6% of the employee's salary. Matching
   contributions are 100% vested immediately. The cost of the plan, including
   matching and administrative fees, was $292,000 and $153,000 in 1994 and
   1993, respectively.

           (b) Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information

        The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial
   statements set forth the results of operations for the year ended December
   31, 1994 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, as if the
   acquisition of Orion by Thermedics had occurred at the beginning of fiscal
   1994, and the financial position as of September 30, 1995, as if the
   acquisition had occurred as of that date.

        The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of
   accounting. The pro forma results of operations are not necessarily
   indicative of future operations or the actual results that would have
   occurred had the acquisition of Orion been consummated at the beginning of
   fiscal 1994. The financial statements filed under part (a) of this item
   should be read in conjunction with these pro forma combined condensed
   financial statements.

   Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

        The allocation of the purchase price is based on an estimate of the
   fair market value of the net assets acquired and is subject to adjustment.
   To date, no information has been gathered that would cause the Company to
   believe that the final allocation of the purchase price will be materially
   different than the preliminary estimate.
