        On March 29, 1995, Beheersmaatschappij J. Amerika N.V. ("J. Amerika"),

   DELFZIJL




   Groningen, January 10, 1995




   Dear Sirs:

   In accordance with our engagement to audit your company's accounts, we
   hereby report to you on the 1993/94 accounts.

   1.   AUDITORS' REPORT

   We have audited the annual accounts of Refining and Trading Holland B.V. of
   Delfzijl for the year 1993/94. We conducted our audit in accordance with
   auditing standards generally accepted in the Netherlands.

   In our opinion, these annual accounts give a true and fair view of the
   financial position of the Company at June 30, 1994 and of the result for
   the year then ended and also comply with the other Dutch legal requirements
   for annual accounts.

   2.   GENERAL

   Annual report and accounts

   The annual accounts and other information included in this report form part
   of the Company's statutory report and accounts for filing purposes, which
   also include the directors' report on the Company's state of affairs during
   the 1993/94 financial year, the situation at the balance sheet date and the
   prospects for 1994/95.

   3.   ADOPTION OF THE ACCOUNTS AND TREATMENT OF THE LOSS

   The Annual General Meeting has adopted the annual accounts for the 1992/93
   financial year as drawn up by the Board of Directors. In accordance with
   the proposed appropriation of profit, the profit NLG 1,937,000 has been set
   against accumulated losses.

   Pending the decision to be taken by the Annual General Meeting, it has been
   proposed to deduct the loss of NLG 1,319,000 for the 1993/94 financial year
   from the general reserve. The accounts have been drawn up on the assumption
   that this proposal will be accepted.

   4.   TAX POSITION

   4.1  Corporation Tax

   On the basis of provisional calculations, the taxable loss for the 1993/94
   year amounts to NLG 973,000. The breakdown is as follows:

                                        5PAGE

                                                                    (1,206)

   Movements in the carry-over losses were as follows:
   Provisional loss for tax purposes                                  (973)
   Add: carry-back 1992/93                                             347

   4.2  Investment grants

   At June 30, 1994, the grants still receivable for investments made in
   previous years were made up as follows:
                                                                        NLG
                                                                    -------
   Grant for investments made after May 1, 1996:
   1987/88                                                           35,722
   1988/89                                                           33,754
   1989/90                                                           16,597
   1992/93                                                          134,517
                                                                    -------
                                                                    220,590
                                                                    =======

   Since the grants concerning investments made after May 1, 1986 may only be
   set off against corporation tax actually payable, the amounts receivable
   for that period have not been included in the 1993/94 accounts in
   connection with the loss. Therefore, an amount of NLG 220,590 has been
   included under Other operating expenses in the 1993/94 profit and loss
   account.

   Yours faithfully,
   for Moret Ernst & Young Accountants


   J. Helmus                  P. Snabel

   NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

   ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   General

   The annual accounts have been drawn up on the basis of current cost. The
   realised portion of the revaluation reserve formed at December 31, 1989 has
   been taken to the profit and loss account, whereas the realised portion of
   the revaluation of material fixed assets at June 30, 1992, has been taken
   directly to the distributable reserves.

   All amounts in the notes are in the thousands of guilders unless stated
   otherwise.

   Foreign Currency Translation

   Balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into
   Dutch guilders at the rate of exchange ruling on the balance sheet date.
   Exchange differences are taken to the profit and loss account.

   In the profit and loss account, net turnover, costs and results are
   translated into Dutch guilders at the spot rates of exchange.

   The rate of exchange used for the U.S. dollar (the most important foreign
   currency) at the balance sheet date was NLG 1.79 (June 30, 1993; NLG 1.89).

   Tangible Fixed Assets

   Tangible fixed assets are carried at current cost net of straight-line
   depreciation based on their estimated useful lives.

   Fixed Asset Investments

   The participating interest included under this heading is stated at net
   asset value, being the Company's share in its capital and reserves.

   Stocks

   Stocks of raw materials and consumables are carried at the lower of cost
   and market value. Stocks of finished goods are carried at their estimated
   cost, which is based on their direct costs plus a mark-up for indirect
   costs. In valuing the stocks, allowance is made for the Company's hedging
   position at the end of the financial year.

   Debtors, Cash and Liabilities

   Debtors, cash and liabilities are included at face value. Debtors are
   stated net of a provision for doubtful debts. Debtors, cash and liabilities
   in foreign currency are translated into Dutch guilders at the rate of
   exchange ruling on the balance sheet date.

   NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (continued)

   ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

   Provisions

   The provision for deferred taxation is formed for:

         the revaluation of tangible fixed assets, taking into account
         carry-over losses of previous years;
         timing differences in the valuation of stocks of finished products;
         deferred tax on IPR grants received.

   Provisions are included at face value.

   Investment Grants Equalisation Account

   IPR grants received are taken to the Investment grants equalisation
   account, net of tax payable at current rates, and taken to the profit and
   loss account (and deducted from depreciation) evenly over the term of
   depreciation of the assets concerned.

   Net Turnover

   Net turnover represents the proceeds of goods and services supplied to
   third parties, net of discounts and VAT.

   Taxes

   Taxes are calculated on the result at current rates, taking into account
   current tax facilities such as investment allowance, partly deductible
   items and loss relief.

   Recognition of Income and Expenses

   Income and expenses are recognised in the period in which they are earned
   or incurred.

   NOTES TO THE BALANCE SHEET (continued)

   The participating interest has been valued at zero because a start-up loss
   of approximately NLG 40,000 is expected for the extended 1993/94 financial
   year.

   No repayments have been received in the year under review on the long-term
   mortgage loan of NLG 250,000 which was still outstanding at June 30, 1992.

   Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial
            Information and Exhibits

            (b) Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information

                The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed
                statement of income sets forth the results of operations for
                the year ended April 1, 1995, as if the acquisition of
                Refining and Trading Holland B.V. (referred to as North
                Refinery in the following pro forma combined condensed
                financial information) by the Company had occurred at the
                beginning of fiscal 1995.  A pro forma combined condensed
                balance sheet that sets forth the financial position as of
                April 1, 1995 has not been provided since North Refinery has
                been reflected in the consolidated balance sheet included in
                Thermo Process' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
                April 1, 1995 filed with the Securities and Exchange
                Commission.  The pro forma combined condensed statement of
                income for the fiscal year ended April 1, 1995 includes the
                results of operations of North Refinery for the twelve months
                ended April 1, 1995, derived by adding North Refinery's
                results of operations for the fourth quarter of the fiscal
                year ended June 30, 1994, the six months ended December 31,
                1994, and the third quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30,
                1995.  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 North Refinery been consummated at the
                beginning of fiscal 1995. The financial statements filed
                under part (a) of this item should be read in conjunction
                with this pro forma combined condensed financial statement.

                        REFINING AND TRADING HOLLAND B.V.
            NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENT
                                   (Unaudited)


   Note A - Basis of Presentation

            The North Refinery historical financial statements, which are
            denominated in Dutch guilders, have been translated into U.S.
            dollars for these pro forma statements. The statement of income
            has been translated at the average exchange rate of 1.75 Dutch
            guilders per U.S. dollar for the twelve months ended April 1,
            1995. The allocation of the purchase price is based on an
            estimate of the fair 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.

   Note B - Pro Forma Adjustments to Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statement of
                Income

            The pro forma adjustment to "Selling, general and administrative
            expenses" represents an adjustment of 1.25% and 1.20% of North
            Refinery's revenues for the nine-month period ended December 31,
            1994 and the three-month period ended April 1, 1995,
            respectively, for services provided under a services agreement
            between the Company and Thermo Electron Corporation.

            The pro forma adjustment to "Interest income" represents an
            estimate of the decrease in interest income attributable to the
            lower cash position as a result of the total cash payment of NLG
            9,568,000 (approximately $6,180,000) to acquire North Refinery,
            calculated using an average interest rate of 4.75%.

            The pro forma adjustment to "Provision for income taxes" includes
            a reduction in income taxes associated with the adjustments above
            and an income tax benefit associated with the loss incurred at
            North Refinery, calculated at J. Amerika N.V.'s income tax rate
            of 37.5%.

            The pro forma adjustment to "Minority interest expense, net"
            represents J. Amerika N.V.'s 37.8% minority shareholder's
            interest at April 1, 1995 in North Refinery's net loss and the
            pro forma adjustments to the pro forma combined condensed
            statement of income.
