                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Marketable securities and short-term investments are stated at cost, which
approximates market based on quoted market prices.  The Company believes that
the fair value of its long-term debt approximates the carrying value of those
obligations as of February 27, 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 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 February 27, 1994.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of February 27, 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
$8.3 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
shareholders' equity.  A revolving credit agreement ($20 million) provides for
variable interest rates based on the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR).  Under
a multicurrency credit agreement ($5 million), the Company may obtain loans at
the lending bank's base rate plus 3/8%.

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 $2.7 million were
made during the three months ended February 27, 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:

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

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

With $100 million in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-
term investments, Measurex's financial condition remained strong as of February
27, 1994.  Net cash used in operations during the first quarter of 1994 was $5.5
million.  Net income adjusted for noncash items was $7.0 million, down from $8.6
million in 1993.  Offsetting the cash generated, accounts and contracts
receivable increased by $3.1 million, and accounts payable and accrued
liabilities decreased $8.9 million from year-end 1993.  The increase of accounts
and contracts receivable corresponded with higher system shipments in the last
month of the quarter.  Contracts receivable from two major customers amounted to
approximately $11.5 million at February 27, 1994.  Accounts payable and accrued
liabilities decreased primarily due to year-end profit sharing and bonus
payments.

Net cash used in operations during the first quarter of 1993 was $6.1 million.
Net income adjusted for noncash items was $8.6 million.  Offsetting the cash
generated, accounts and contracts receivable increased by $4.4 million, and
accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased $8.1 million from year-end
1992.  Accounts and contracts receivable increased due to timing of system
shipments as more systems were shipped in the last month of the quarter.  1992
year-end 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 $1.9 million in the first quarter of 1994 as
compared to $2.2 million in the first quarter of 1993.  Investments in property,
plant and equipment totaled $1.3 million during 1994, slightly lower than the
level in 1993.  No major facility expansions occurred in the first quarter 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.

Cash used for financing activities during the first quarter of 1994 totaled $2.4
million as compared to $2.3 million in the first quarter of 1993.  Proceeds
received from stock issuances were offset by cash used to reduce outstanding
debt.

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 $25.2 million from $76.0 million at year-end 1993 to $50.8
million at February 27, 1994 while marketable securities and short-term
investments increased $13.8 million to $49.2 million.  The Company's current
ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) was 3.2 at the end of the
first quarter of 1994 compared to 2.8 at year-end 1993.  Total debt was at 9% of
shareholders' equity at February 27, 1994 compared to 10% at November 28, 1993.

Item 2.

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

As of February 27, 1994, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included
cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term investments of $100
million and unsecured bank lines of credit of $25 million, of which $8.3 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 quarter were $31 million, down 9 percent from $34 million
in 1993's first quarter.  Pulp and Paper system orders in the major markets of
the United States and Europe exceeded last year's first quarter, while a
decrease in orders occurred in Asia/Japan and South American markets and in the
Industrial System product group.

System backlog at the end of 1994's first quarter was $83 million.  This was
down 8 percent from $90 million in the comparable period a year ago.
Approximately 90 percent of the $83 million backlog is scheduled to be shipped
during the next 12 months.  The reduction in Asian and Latin American backlog
was partially offset by higher backlog in the United States and Europe.

Systems revenue was $37.6 million in the first quarter of 1994, approximately
the same as the prior year's first quarter.  Overall sales growth continued to
be restrained by a depressed market in the paper industry and ongoing price
competition.  Service and other revenues decreased $0.4 million to $24.0 million
in the first quarter of 1994 from $24.4 million in the first quarter of 1993.
The decline in revenues was attributable to the impact of currency fluctuations.

Margins on systems revenue were 36% in the first quarter of 1994 as compared to
31% in the first quarter of 1993.  The lower system margin in 1993 resulted
primarily  from the factory startup costs and initial installation costs for the
new MXOpen(TM) product line.  Service and other margins were 37% in the first
quarter of 1994 as compared to 35% in the first quarter of 1993.  The
improvement in service margins reflected ongoing cost controls and better
utilization of field service resources.

Product development costs increased $0.6 million (10%) to $5.9 million in the
first quarter of 1994 from $5.3 million in the first quarter of 1993 due to
lower engineering charges to cost of sales and inclusion of Roibox Oy research
and development activities. Measurex capitalized $0.7 million and $0.8 million
of software development costs in the first quarter of 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Amortization of capitalized software to system costs totaled $0.9
million and $0.7 million in the first quarter of 1994 and 1993, respectively.
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 January 1994, the Company introduced the
Calcoil(TM) 4000HT profiling system at EXFOR '94 in Montreal, Canada. In
addition, the Company announced evolutionary improvements to its MXOpen product
line including: MXOpen X-View Operator Station(TM),

CDOpen(TM) cross-direction profile control system and the QuadraTect Extensional
Stiffness Sensor at the Technical Association of Pulp and Paper Industry's
(TAPPI) exhibition in Atlanta, Georgia.

Selling and administrative expense increased $1.1 million (8%) from $14.3
million in the first quarter of 1993 to $15.4 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 and higher profit sharing expenses.

The Company plans to continue to invest in new product development, while
tightly controlling expenditures in the factory, selling and administrative
areas to ensure that expenses are in line with projected shipment levels.

The Company's effective tax rate during the first quarter of 1994 was 35%,
compared with 36% during the first quarter of 1993.  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 first quarter of 1994 was $2.7 million, or $0.15 a share,
compared with $1.7 million or $0.10 a share in 1993's first quarter.  Income
before cumulative effect of accounting change was $2.2 million, or $0.12 per
share, up 26 percent from $1.7 million, or $0.10 per share, in the first quarter
of 1993.  Interest income in the first quarter of 1994 was slightly higher than
the same period in 1993.
