BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with SEC requirements for interim financial statements.  They,
therefore, do not include all the disclosures which are presented in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.  It is suggested that the financial
statements be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The information furnished reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for
the fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for the interim period.  The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived
from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required
by generally accepted accounting principles.  The results of operations for the
periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for
the full year.


CONSOLIDATIONS

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries
after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions.  The Company has
reclassified the presentation of certain prior year information to conform with
the current year presentation format.


NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the year adjusted to reflect the assumed exercise of
outstanding stock options to the extent these had a dilutive effect on the
computation.


FISCAL YEAR

The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year.  1994 and 1993 are 52 week fiscal
years.


FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the first quarter of 1994, the Company elected to adopt Financial Accounting
Statement No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities". All marketable securities are deemed available for sale and
therefore reported at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses reported
net of related taxes as a separate component of stockholders' equity.  When the
decline in market value is considered other than temporary, the loss is charged
to income as a write down.  The Company believes that the fair value of its
long-term debt approximates the carrying value of those obligations as of May
29, 1994. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated based on
interest rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms
and maturities.

LONG-TERM DEBT

In May 1993, the Company borrowed $20.0 million under a 5.35% five-year
unsecured term loan agreement with a bank.  Proceeds from the loan were used
principally to support the Company's United States equipment lease portfolio and
provide a hedge against interest rate fluctuations.  Interest is payable
quarterly, with principal payable in equal quarterly installments of $1.0
million through June 1998.  The loan agreement contains certain restrictive
covenants which include the maintenance of minimum consolidated cash balances,
minimum tangible net worth, and certain financial ratios.  The Company was in
compliance with all covenants at May 29, 1994.

- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of May 29, 1994, the Company had unsecured bank lines of credit agreements of
$25.0 million, which provide for domestic and foreign currency borrowings,
advances and guarantees, Bankers' Acceptances, and letters of credit.  At that
date, the Company was contingently liable for approximately $7.2 million
relating principally to letters of credit issued.

The agreements, which expire during fiscal year 1994, require the Company to
adhere to certain covenants regarding working capital, indebtedness, and minimum
stockholders' equity. A revolving credit agreement ($20.0 million) provides for
variable interest rates based on the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR).  Under
a multicurrency credit agreement ($5.0 million), the Company may obtain loans at
the lending bank's base rate plus 3/8%. The Company is subject to legal
proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of its business.  In the
opinion of management, these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect
on the financial position and results of operations of the Company.

INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rate is based on the estimated income and related
tax provision for the entire year.  It is the policy of the Company to provide
U.S. and foreign income taxes on the portion of the accumulated earnings of the
Company's foreign subsidiaries which are intended to be remitted to the parent
company within the foreseeable future.  Income tax payments of $5.0 million were
made during the six months ended May 29, 1994.

Effective November 29, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109").  The
adoption of SFAS 109 resulted in a cumulative adjustment which increased first
quarter 1994 earnings by $0.5 million.  After adoption of SFAS 109, the primary
components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of November
29, 1993, were as follows (in thousands):

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - -------------------------------

With $106.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and
short-term investments, Measurex's financial condition remained strong as of May
29, 1994.  Net cash provided by operations during the first six months of 1994
was $5.2 million.  Net income adjusted for noncash items was $10.4 million, down
from $15.8 million in the first half of 1993.  Offsetting the cash generated,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased $4.3 million primarily due to
year-end profit sharing and bonus payments.

Net cash used in operations during the first half of 1993 was $2.8 million.  Net
income adjusted for noncash items was $15.8 million.  Offsetting the cash
generated, accounts and contracts receivable increased by $5.6 million, and
accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased $10.9 million. Accounts and
contracts receivable increased due to higher system shipments into Japan where
customers typically pay slower. Profit sharing payments as well as payments made
for severance costs led to the decrease in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities.

Excluding marketable securities and short-term investments, net cash used for
investing activities totaled $4.9 million in the first half of 1994 as compared
to $5.7 million in the first half of 1993.  Investments in property, plant and
equipment totaled $3.3 million during 1994, slightly higher than the level in
1993.  No major facility expansions occurred in the first half of 1994 or are
planned for the remainder of the year.  On April 7, 1993, the Company acquired
Roibox Oy, a worldwide supplier of web-inspection products for the paper
industry, for a cash payment of approximately $2 million.  Roibox Oy operates as
a separate subsidiary of Measurex, with manufacturing, engineering, product
marketing and sales support.  The net assets and operating results from this
subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date
of acquisition.

During the first half of 1994, cash used for financing activities totaled $5.1
million as compared to $15.1 million received from financing activities in the
first half of 1993 primarily due to $20.0 million borrowed by the Company in May
1993 under a 5.35% five year unsecured bank loan.  Proceeds from the loan were
used to support the Company's United States equipment lease portfolio and
provide a hedge against interest rate fluctuations. The Company was in
compliance with all loan covenants at May 29, 1994.  Cash used to reduce
outstanding debt and pay dividends were partially offset by proceeds received
from employee stock option and purchase plans in the first half of 1994.

As a result of the above operating, investing and financing activities, and
giving effect to exchange rate fluctuations, the Company's cash and cash
equivalents decreased $6.2 million from $76.0 million at year-end 1993 to $69.8
million at May 29, 1994 while marketable securities and short-term investments
increased $1.7 million to $37.0 million.  The Company's current ratio (current
assets divided by current liabilities) was 2.9 at the end of the first half of
1994 compared to 2.8 at year-end 1993.  Total debt was at 9% of stockholders'
equity at May 29, 1994 compared to 10% at November 28, 1993.

Item 2.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
- - -------------------------------------------

As of May 29, 1994, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included cash,
cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term investments of $106.8
million and unsecured bank lines of credit of $25 million, of which $7.2 million
was committed to letters of credit.   The Company believes that its financial
resources will provide adequate flexibility to fund the Company's operating
needs, capital expenditures and cash dividends during fiscal year 1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - ---------------------

System orders for the second quarter of 1994 were $39 million, down 7 percent
from $42 million in 1993's second quarter. Orders in the United States exceeded
last year's second quarter, while orders in most other major geographic areas
were lower.  For the first half of 1994, orders were $70 million versus $76
million in the comparable prior year period reflecting lower orders in the Asian
market but higher orders in the United States.

System backlog at the end of 1994's second quarter was $85 million.  This was
down 7 percent from $91 million in the comparable period a year ago.
Approximately 90 percent of the $85 million backlog is scheduled to be shipped
during the next 12 months.  Backlog was lower in most markets except the United
States.

Systems revenue was $36.5 million in the second quarter of 1994, 10% lower than
the prior year's second quarter.  Systems revenue of $74.1 million for the first
half of 1994 was 5% lower than the first half of 1993. Overall sales continued
to be restrained by a depressed market in the paper industry and ongoing price
competition.  Service and other revenues increased $0.6 million to $26.1 million
in the second quarter of 1994 from $25.5 million in the second quarter of 1993.
The improvement in revenues was attributable to call-out service billings.
Service revenues for the first half of 1994 were about the same as the first
half of 1993.

Margins on systems revenue were 36% in the second quarter of 1994 as compared to
35% in the second quarter of 1993.  System margins for the first half of 1994
were 3% higher than the first half of 1993.  The lower system margin in 1993
resulted primarily from the factory startup costs and initial installation costs
for the new MXOpen (Trade Mark) product line. Service and other margins were 37%
in the second quarter and first half of 1994 slightly higher than the comparable
periods of 1993. The improvement in service margins reflected ongoing cost
controls and better utilization of field service resources.

Product development expense decreased $0.6 million (11%) to $4.9 million in the
second quarter of 1994 from $5.5 million in the second quarter of 1993 due to
higher software capitalization.  Measurex capitalized $0.9 million and $0.3
million of software development costs in the second quarter of 1994 and 1993,
respectively.  Amortization of capitalized software to system costs totaled $0.9
million in the second quarter of 1994 and 1993.  The Company's future results
depend, to a considerable extent, on its ability to maintain a competitive
advantage in both the products and services it provides.  To this end, the
Company believes it is critical to continue to make investments in new product
development. In June 1994, the Company introduced the MXOpen (Trade Mark)
Networked Solutions product line to the Industrial Systems market at the
National Plastics Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.

Item 2.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
- - ---------------------------------

Selling and administrative expenses of $15.8 million in the second quarter of
1994 were slightly lower than the same period of a year ago.  Selling and
administrative expense increased $.9 million (3%) from $30.3 million in the
first half of 1993 to $31.2 million in the same period in 1994.  This increase
in expenditures in 1994 over 1993 was attributable in part to the inclusion of
Roibox operations beginning in the second quarter of 1993 and higher profit
sharing expenses.

The Company plans to continue to tightly control expenditures in all areas to
ensure that expenses are in line with projected shipment levels.

In the first quarter of 1994, the Company elected to adopt Financial Accounting
Statement No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities". All marketable securities are deemed available for sale and
therefore reported at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses reported
net of related taxes as a separate component of stockholders' equity.  When the
decline in market value is considered other than temporary, the loss is charged
to income as a write down.

The Company's effective tax rate during the second quarter of 1994 was 43%,
compared with 35% during the second quarter of 1993.  The effective tax rate for
the first half of 1994 was 39% versus 35% for the first half of 1993.  The
increase in the tax rate is due to a change in the geographic mix of earnings.
In the first quarter of 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109").  The
cumulative effect of this change increased net income by $0.5 million, or $0.03
per share.

Net income for the second quarter of 1994 was $1.8 million, or $0.10 a share,
compared with $2.2 million or $0.12 a share in 1993's second quarter.  Income
before cumulative effect of accounting change was $3.9 million, or $0.22 per
share the first half of 1994 and 1993.  Interest income in the second quarter
and first half of 1994 was slightly lower than the same periods in 1993.
