             Information and Exhibits
             ------------------------

        On May 10, 1995, Thermo Process Systems Inc. (the "Company") acquired
   substantially all of the assets of Lancaster Laboratories, Inc. and its
   affiliate Clewmark Holdings (together, "Lancaster Laboratories"). Lancaster
   Laboratories, based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is a provider of
   high-quality analytical services to the environmental, food and
   pharmaceutical industries.

        The base purchase price for the assets was $19,174,000 in cash, plus
   the assumption by the Company of $5,333,000 in bank indebtedness existing
   as of the closing of the acquisition. The purchase price included a
   post-closing adjustment of $2,414,000 based on Lancaster Laboratories' net
   book value as of the closing of the acquisition. The Company has also
   agreed to pay an amount, not to exceed $600,000, equal to the amount by
   which the sum of (a) Lancaster Laboratories' division income (earnings
   before the corporate services fee payable to Thermo Electron Corporation,
   amortization of goodwill, interest and income taxes) for the period
   beginning October 1, 1994 and ending on the closing date, and (b) the
   division income generated by Lancaster Laboratories' business (excluding
   the corporate services fee payable to Thermo Electron Corporation and the
   amortization of goodwill acquired by the Company in this acquisition) for
   the period beginning on the closing date and ending September 30, 1995, are
   in excess of $4,500,000. In no event will the aggregate purchase price,
   including bank indebtedness assumed by the Company, exceed $25,000,000,
   excluding cash acquired.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

     To the Board of Directors and Partners
     Lancaster Laboratories, Inc.
       and Clewmark Holdings
     Lancaster, Pennsylvania

          We have audited the accompanying combined statements of net
     assets sold of Lancaster Laboratories, Inc., a Pennsylvania
     corporation, and Clewmark Holdings, a Pennsylvania general
     partnership, as of September 30, 1994 and 1993 and the related
     combined statements of revenues and expenses, changes in net assets
     sold, and cash flows for the years then ended. These combined
     financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies'
     management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
     financial statements based on our audit.

          We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
     auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform
     the audits 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.

          The accompanying combined financial statements were prepared to
     present the assets sold and the liabilities assumed pursuant to the
     Asset Purchase Agreement dated May 10, 1995, between Lancaster
     Laboratories, Inc./Clewmark Holdings and Thermo Analytical, Inc., as
     described in Note 1, and are not intended to be a complete
     presentation of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash
     flows of Lancaster Laboratories, Inc. and Clewmark Holdings.

          In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to
     above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets sold of
     Lancaster Laboratories, Inc. and Clewmark Holdings, pursuant to the
     Asset Purchase Agreement referred to in Note 1, as of September 30,
     1994 and 1993, and the revenues, expenses, changes in net assets sold,
     and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles.

              Effective May 1, 1995, Lancaster Laboratories, Inc. and

                     NOTES to COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Continued)

     NOTE 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

              Cash Equivalents

              For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
               equivalents include money market accounts and any highly
               liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
               months or less.

              Bad Debts

              The Company uses the allowance method to account for
               uncollectible accounts receivable.

              Property, Plant and Equipment

              Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost.
               Depreciation is computed using straight-line and accelerated
               methods over the estimated useful lives. When assets are
               retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related
               accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and
               any resulting gain or loss is recognized in earnings for the
               period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to
               earnings as incurred; significant renewals and betterments
               are capitalized.

              Borrowing and Financing Costs

              Financing costs and fees paid to obtain loans are capitalized
               and are being amortized over the lives of the loans.
               Amortization expense for each of the years ended September
               30, 1994 and 1993 is $2,138.

              Income Taxes

              The stockholders of Lancaster Laboratories, Inc. have elected
               under Section 1362(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and under
               similar provisions of Pennsylvania Corporate Income Tax Law,
               to be taxed as an "S" Corporation beginning October 1, 1986.
               As a result of this election, the Company does not pay
               Federal or State corporate income taxes on its income.
               However, each stockholder reports his or her share of the
               Company's current year's income and tax credits on his or
               her respective federal and state individual income tax
               return.


     NOTE 3 - Concentration of Credit Risk

              Other financial instruments that potentially subject the
               Companies to concentration of credit risk consist of cash
               deposits with financial institutions.

               compete with the Companies in any prohibited business as
               defined in the agreement for a period from November 27, 1991
               through December 31, 1995. In consideration for the   
               stockholder's/partner's covenant not to compete, Lancaster
               Laboratories, Inc. has agreed to pay $200,000 per year
               during the term of the non-compete period. During the
               calendar years 1992, 1993, and 1994, the $200,000 per year
               will be paid in equal monthly installments of $16,666 per
               month. The non-compete payment of $200,000 payable for the
               calendar year 1995 will be paid in one lump sum on     
               January 2, 1995.

              Settlement of Litigation

              Lancaster Laboratories, Inc. was contesting an assessment
               issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. The
               assessment, in the amount of $107,530 was in connection with
               a sales and use audit covering the period from January 1,
               1982 through April 30, 1985. By an order dated November 10,
               1993, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court affirmed the decision
               of the Commonwealth Court that the use tax assessment on
               equipment and supplies employed by the Company in its
               nutritional labeling activities would be taxable and all
               other equipment in its testing and inspection activities
               would be exempt from sales and use tax. Accordingly, when
               the final recomputation of tax and interest is completed by
               the Department of Revenue, a reduction of the assessment
               will approximate 90%.

              In conjunction with the above settlement on sales and use
               tax, Lancaster Laboratories, Inc. reached a settlement with
               the office of the Attorney General on its petitions
               requesting relief from additional PA capital stock tax
               assessments for the years ended September 30, 1985 through
               1993 under the manufacturing, research and development
               exemption of the PA code. Both parties agreed to a one-time
               credit of $70,000 and Lancaster Laboratories will pay the
               additional capital stock tax as assessed and not be entitled
               to a manufacturing, research and development exemption for
               those years in question or future years. All liabilities and
               associated expenses have been recorded as of and for the
               year ended September 30, 1994.

     To the Board of Directors and Partners
     Lancaster Laboratories, Inc.
        and Clewmark Holdings
     Lancaster, Pennsylvania

          We have compiled the accompanying combined statements of net
     assets sold of Lancaster Laboratories, Inc., a Pennsylvania
     corporation, and Clewmark Holdings, a Pennsylvania general
     partnership, as of March 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related combined
     statements of revenues and expenses, changes in net assets sold, and
     cash flows for the six months then ended, in accordance with
     Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by
     the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

          The accompanying combined financial statements were prepared to
     present the assets sold and the liabilities assumed pursuant to the
     Asset Purchase Agreement dated May 10, 1995, between Lancaster
     Laboratories, Inc./Clewmark Holdings and Thermo Analytical, Inc., as
     described in the accompanying selected information, and are not
     intended to be a complete presentation of the assets, liabilities,
     revenues, expenses, and cash flows of Lancaster Laboratories, Inc. and
     Clewmark Holdings.

          A compilation is limited to presenting in the form of financial
     statements information that is the representation of management.  We
     have not audited or reviewed the accompanying combined financial
     statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other
     form of assurance on them.

          Management has elected to omit substantially all of the
     disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.  If
     the omitted disclosures were included in the combined financial
     statements, they might influence the user's conclusions about the
     Companies' net assets sold, revenues, expenses, and cash flows.
     Accordingly, these combined financial statements are not designed for
     those who are not informed about such matters.

   Item 7.   Financial Statements, Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial
             ------------------------------------------------------------
             Information and Exhibits (continued)
             ------------------------

        (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 Lancaster
            Laboratories, Inc. and its affiliate Clewmark Holdings (referred
            to as "Lancaster Laboratories" in the following pro forma
            combined condensed financial information) by the Company had
            occurred at the beginning of fiscal 1995. The unaudited pro forma
            combined condensed balance sheet sets forth the financial
            position as of April 1, 1995, as if the acquisition had occurred
            as of that date and assuming there is no additional post-closing
            purchase price adjustment. The pro forma combined condensed
            statement of income for the year ended April 1, 1995 includes the
            results of operations of the Company for the year ended April 1,
            1995 and Lancaster Laboratories for the twelve months ended March
            31, 1995, derived by subtracting the first two quarters of fiscal
            1994 from its results of operations for the twelve months ended
            September 30, 1994, and adding the first two quarters of fiscal
            1995 to its results of operations for the twelve months ended
            September 30, 1994.

                  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 Lancaster
            Laboratories been consummated at the beginning of fiscal 1995.
            The financial statements filed under part (a) of this item should
            be read in conjunction with these pro forma combined condensed
            financial statements.

   Note A - Basis of Presentation

           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.
