     (d) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - July 2, 1994


     1. General

        The interim consolidated financial statements presented have been
     prepared by Thermo Instrument Systems Inc. (the Company) without audit
     and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal
     recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of
     operations for the three- and six-month periods ended July 2, 1994 and
     July 3, 1993, (b) the financial position at July 2, 1994, and (c) the
     cash flows for the six-month periods ended July 2, 1994 and July 3,
     1993. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a
     full year.

        The consolidated balance sheet presented as of January 1, 1994, has
     been derived from the consolidated financial statements that have been
     audited by the Company's independent public accountants. The
     consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted
     by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the
     annual financial statements and notes of the Company. The consolidated
     financial statements and notes included herein should be read in
     conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the
     Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
     January 1, 1994, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


     2. Acquisition

        On March 16, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of several
     businesses within the EnviroTech Measurements & Controls group of
     Baker Hughes Incorporated for a purchase price of approximately $87.3
     million in cash, subject to a post-closing adjustment. The Company
     acquired the EnviroTech Controls, Noran Instruments, TN Technologies,
     and Tremetrics businesses, which collectively design, manufacture, and
     market a variety of process control, process measurement, and
     laboratory analytical products for use in a wide range of industrial,
     energy, environmental, and research applications.

        This acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method
     of accounting and the results of operations of the acquired businesses
     have been included in the accompanying financial statements from the
     date of acquisition. The aggregate cost of this acquisition exceeded
     the estimated fair value of the acquired net assets by $53.8 million,
     which is being amortized over 40 years. Allocation of the purchase
     price was based on an estimate of the fair value of the net assets
     acquired and is subject to adjustment.

        Based on unaudited data, the following table presents selected
     financial information for the Company and the acquired businesses on a
     pro forma basis, assuming the companies had been combined since the
     beginning of 1993.

        The pro forma results include the Company's historical statements,
     which include the environmental services businesses that comprised the
     Company's Services segment. Effective April 4, 1994, the environmental
     services businesses are no longer consolidated with the Company's
     results (Note 4). The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative
     of future operations or the actual results that would have occurred
     had the acquisition been made at the beginning of 1993.


     3. Available-for-sale Investments

        Effective January 2, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
     Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." In accordance with SFAS
     No. 115, the Company's debt and marketable equity securities are
     considered "Available-for-sale investments" in the accompanying
     balance sheet and are carried at market value, with the difference
     between cost and market value, net of related tax effects, recorded
     currently as a component of shareholders' investment titled "Net
     unrealized gain on available-for-sale investments." "Net unrealized
     gain on available-for-sale investments" consists of (1) an unrealized
     gain, net of related tax effects, of $1,885,000 that was recorded as a
     cumulative effect of change in accounting principle adjustment and
     (2) an unrealized loss, net of related tax effects, of $1,279,000
     relating to the decline in market value of available-for-sale
     investments for the six-month period ended July 2, 1994.

        Available-for-sale investments in the accompanying balance sheet at
     July 2, 1994, represent investments in corporate bonds. The difference
     between the market value and the cost basis of available-for-sale
     investments was $963,000 at July 2, 1994, which represents gross
     unrealized gains of $1,049,000 and gross unrealized losses of $86,000
     on those investments.

        Available-for-sale investments in the accompanying balance sheet at
     July 2, 1994, include $18,568,000 with contractual maturities of one
     year or less and $3,334,000 with contractual maturities of over one
     year through five years. Expected maturities, as classified in the

     3. Available-for-sale Investments (continued)

     accompanying balance sheet, may differ from contractual maturities as
     a result of the Company's intent to sell these securities prior to
     maturity and as a result of put and call options that enable either
     the Company and/or the issuer to redeem these securities at an earlier
     date.

        The cost of available-for-sale investments that were sold was based
     on specific identification in determining realized gains recorded in
     the accompanying statement of income. "Gain on sale of related party
     investments" in the accompanying statement of income for the six-month
     period ended July 2, 1994, resulted from gross realized gains relating
     to the sale of available-for-sale investments. 


     4. Joint Venture

        Effective April 4, 1994, the Company formed an environmental
     services joint venture with Thermo Process Systems Inc. (Thermo
     Process), another public subsidiary of Thermo Electron Corporation.
     The joint venture will operate under the name Thermo Terra Tech. The
     Company contributed the analytical laboratories and the nuclear health
     physics and environmental science and engineering services businesses
     that comprised its Services segment. Thermo Process contributed its
     recently acquired environmental laboratory business, which specializes
     in fast-response testing of petroleum-contaminated soils and
     groundwater, and approximately $31 million in cash and short-term
     investments.

        The Company owns 49% of Thermo Terra Tech and accounts for its
     interest in the joint venture under the equity method. Under the terms
     of the joint venture agreement, 66.67% of income earned by the joint
     venture after April 4, 1994, will be allocated to the Company until
     the first to occur of (a) the joint venture has accumulated $5.1
     million in net profits, (b) April 1, 1995, or (c) the date on which at
     least 70% of Thermo Process' cash contribution to the joint venture is
     first invested in one or more additional businesses. Thereafter, the
     Company's share of the joint venture's income will be 49%. The
     Company's environmental services businesses had revenues of $55.2
     million and $12.2 million for the year ended January 1, 1994 and the
     three-month period ended April 2, 1994, respectively.

     Results of Operations

     Second Quarter 1994 Compared With Second Quarter 1993

        Revenues for the second quarter of 1994 increased 16% to $162.6
     million from $140.4 million in 1993. Instruments segment revenues
     increased $36.8 million, or 29%, to $162.6 million in the second
     quarter of 1994 from $125.8 million in 1993. The increase was due to
     acquisitions which include the radiation safety measurement products
     and radiometry process control divisions of FAG Kugelfischer Georg
     Shafer AG in October 1993 and several businesses within the EnviroTech
     Measurements & Controls group of Baker Hughes Incorporated (Baker
     Hughes) in March 1994. There were no revenues for the Services segment
     in the second quarter of 1994, compared with $14.6 million in 1993.
     Effective April 4, 1994, the Company contributed the businesses that
     comprised its Services segment to Thermo Terra Tech in exchange for a
     49% ownership interest in that joint venture. As a result, the
     Services segment operations are no longer consolidated in the
     Company's financial statements. (See Note 4 to Consolidated Financial
     Statements.)  

        The Company's gross profit margin increased to 48% in the second
     quarter of 1994 from 47% for the same period in 1993. Gross profit
     margin for the Instruments segment decreased to 48% in the second
     quarter of 1994 from 49% in 1993 due to changes in product mix. Gross
     profit margin for the Services segment was 23% in 1993.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
     revenues increased to 26% in the second quarter of 1994 from 25% for
     the same period in 1993 as a result of higher costs as a percentage of
     revenues for acquired businesses. Research and development expenses
     remained relatively unchanged at 7.0% of Instruments segment revenues
     in the second quarter of 1994, compared with 6.9% in 1993.

        Interest income increased to $1.2 million in the second quarter of
     1994 from $0.3 million for the same period in 1993 primarily as a
     result of interest income earned on the net proceeds from the issuance
     of the 3 3/4% senior obligations in September 1993, offset in part by
     the cash used to purchase several businesses within the EnviroTech
     Measurements & Controls group of Baker Hughes in the first quarter of
     1994. Interest expense increased to $4.0 million in 1994 from $3.2
     million in 1993, due primarily to the issuance of the 3 3/4% senior
     obligations, offset in part by the reduction in interest expense as a
     result of the repayment in 1993 of debt incurred in connection with
     acquisitions. The Company recorded a gain of $2.0 million in the
     second quarter of 1994 on the sale of part of its investment in
     Thermedics Inc. (Thermedics) convertible debentures. Thermedics is a
     majority-owned subsidiary of Thermo Electron Corporation (Thermo
     Electron).

     Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (continued)

     First Six Months 1994 Compared With First Six Months 1993

        Revenues for the first six months of 1994 increased 11% to $322.4
     million from $290.2 million for the same period in 1993. Instruments
     segment revenues increased $47.9 million, or 18%, to $310.2 million in
     1994 from $262.3 million in 1993 due to acquisitions, net of the sale
     of the biomedical instruments products business of the Company's
     Nicolet Instrument Corporation (Nicolet Biomedical) subsidiary to
     Thermo Electron, effective April 5, 1993. Nicolet Biomedical accounted
     for $12.6 million of revenues in the first quarter of 1993.
     Acquisitions include those discussed in the results of operations for
     the second quarter, as well as the acquisition of Spectra Physics
     Analytical in February 1993. Services segment revenues were $12.2
     million for the three-month period ended April 2, 1994, and $27.9
     million for the first six months of 1993. This reduction reflects the
     formation of the Thermo Terra Tech joint venture, effective April 4,
     1994.

        The Company's gross profit margin increased to 48% for the first
     six months of 1994 from 46% for the same period in 1993. Gross profit
     margin for the Instruments segment remained unchanged at 49% in the
     first six months of both 1994 and 1993. Gross profit margin for the
     Services segment was relatively unchanged at 22.2% in the first six
     months of 1994, compared with 22.8% in 1993.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
     revenues increased to 26% in the first six months of 1994 from 25% in
     1993 primarily as a result of higher costs as a percentage of revenues
     for acquired businesses. Research and development expenses decreased
     to 6.6% of Instruments segment revenues in 1994 from 7.1% in 1993,
     primarily due to the sale of Nicolet Biomedical.

        Interest income was $2.7 million in the first six months of 1994,
     compared with $0.6 million for the same period in 1993. Interest
     expense was $8.1 million in 1994, compared with $6.9 million in 1993.
     The reasons for these increases are the same as those discussed in the
     results of operations for the second quarter.  

        "Equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries" in the first six
     months of 1994 primarily represents the Company's portion of the
     results of Thermo Terra Tech (see Note 4 to Consolidated Financial
     Statements).

        The effective tax rate was 43.5% and 43.0% in the first six months
     of 1994 and 1993, respectively. These rates exceeded the statutory
     federal income tax rate primarily due to nondeductible amortization of
     cost in excess of net assets of acquired companies, the inability to
     provide a tax benefit on losses incurred at certain subsidiaries, and
     the impact of state income taxes.

     Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (continued)

     Financial Condition

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Consolidated working capital at July 2, 1994, was $198.2 million,
     compared with $238.1 million at January 1, 1994, a decrease of $39.8
     million. Included in working capital are cash, cash equivalents, and
     short-term investments of $135.9 million at July 2, 1994, and $183.6
     million at January 1, 1994. In March 1994 the Company acquired certain
     businesses within the EnviroTech Measurements & Controls group of
     Baker Hughes for $87.3 million in cash, subject to a post-closing
     adjustment (see Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

        During the remainder of 1994, the Company plans to make
     expenditures of approximately $7.3 million for property, plant and
     equipment. The Company plans to make these expenditures from working
     capital. The Company believes that the remainder of its existing
     resources are sufficient to meet the capital requirements of its
     existing operations for the foreseeable future.
