                    Report of Independent Public Accountants

To the Shareholders of Spectra Precision:


     We  have  audited  the  accompanying  combined  balance  sheet  of  Spectra
Precision, which is wholly-owned by Thermo Instrument Systems Inc. as of January
1,  2000,  and the  related  combined  statements  of  operations,  cash  flows,
comprehensive income, and shareholders'  investment for the period from February
22,  1999,  through  January  1, 2000.  We have also  audited  the  accompanying
combined  balance  sheet of the  Predecessor  as of December 31,  1998,  and the
related combined statements of operations, cash flows, comprehensive income, and
shareholders'  investment for the period from January 1, 1999,  through February
21, 1999,  and for the years ended  December  31,  1998,  and December 31, 1997.
These combined financial  statements are the responsibility of the Company's and
Predecessor's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
combined financial statements based on our audits.

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

     In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Spectra Precision as
of January 1, 2000,  and the  results of its  operations  and cash flows for the
period from  February  22,  1999,  through  January 1, 2000,  and the  financial
position  of the  Predecessor  as of  December  31,  1998,  and the  results  of
operations  and cash flows of the  Predecessor  for the period  from  January 1,
1999,  through February 21, 1999, and for the years ended December 31, 1998, and
December 31, 1997, in conformity with accounting  principles  generally accepted
in the United States.

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements

1.      Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nature of Operations

     Spectra Precision  represents  certain  businesses owned by Spectra-Physics
AB, which develop,  manufacture,  and market complete positioning  solutions for
the construction,  surveying,  and agricultural markets.  Products include laser
alignment instruments, machine control systems, and survey instruments.

Relationship with Thermo Instrument Systems Inc. and Thermo Electron Corporation

     On  February   22,  1999,   Thermo   Instrument   Systems   Inc.   acquired
Spectra-Physics (Note 2). Thermo Instrument is an 88% owned subsidiary of Thermo
Electron Corporation.
       The  accompanying  financial  statements  prior  to  February  22,  1999,
represent the assets,  liabilities,  income and expenses of Spectra Precision as
included in  Spectra-Physics'  financial  statements  prior to  Spectra-Physics'
acquisition by Thermo Instrument (the Predecessor).  The accompanying  financial
statements  subsequent to February 21, 1999, represent the assets,  liabilities,
income and  expenses of Spectra  Precision  as  included in Thermo  Instrument's
combined  financial  statements  (the  Company).   The  accompanying   financial
statements  do not  include  Thermo  Instrument's  or  Spectra-Physics'  general
corporate  debt,  which is used to finance the  operations  of these  companies'
respective   businesses,   or  an   allocation   of   Thermo   Instrument's   or
Spectra-Physics' interest expense.

Principles of Combination

     The accompanying  financial statements include the combined accounts of the
Spectra  Precision  businesses,  which are subject to a definitive  agreement in
which the Company will be sold to Trimble Navigation Ltd. (Note 9). All material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Basis of Accounting

     The principal difference in the basis of accounting between the Predecessor
and the  Company  relates  to the  cost in  excess  of net  assets  of  acquired
companies,  the  amortization  of which  approximates  $2,100,000  per year. The
significant  accounting  policies of the Company  described herein apply to both
the Company and the Predecessor, except where stated otherwise.

Fiscal Year and Periods Presented

     The Company has adopted a fiscal year ending the Saturday  nearest December
31. The  Predecessor  had a fiscal year  ending  December  31. The  accompanying
financial statements include the Company's financial results for the period from
February 22, 1999, the date  Spectra-Physics  was acquired by Thermo Instrument,
through January 1, 2000, and the Predecessor's  financial results for the fiscal
years ended  December 31, 1997,  and December 31, 1998,  and for the period from
January 1, 1999, through February 21, 1999.  References to year-end 1999 are for
January 1, 2000.  References  to 1998 and 1997 are for the  fiscal  years  ended
December 31, 1998, and December 31, 1997, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

     The Company  generally  recognizes  product  revenues  upon shipment of its
products or upon  installation if required by contract.  The Company  provides a
reserve for its estimate of warranty  costs and returns at the time of shipment.
In  accordance   with  Statement  of  Position  No.  97-2,   "Software   Revenue
Recognition,"  revenue from software is recognized upon execution of the license
agreement and delivery of the software when any ongoing service  commitments are
not critical to the  functionality  of the  software;  otherwise  revenue on the
service component is recognized over the life of the contract.

Income Taxes

     In accordance with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," the Company recognizes deferred income taxes
based on the  expected  future  tax  consequences  of  differences  between  the
financial  statement  basis  and  the  tax  basis  of  assets  and  liabilities,
calculated  using  enacted  tax  rates  in  effect  for the  year in  which  the
differences are expected to be reflected in the tax return.

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The  Company,  along  with  other  European-based  subsidiaries  of  Thermo
Electron,  participates in a notional pool arrangement in the U.K. with Barclays
Bank.  Under this  arrangement,  Barclays  notionally  combines the positive and
negative cash balances  held by the  participants  to calculate the net interest
yield/expense  for the group.  The benefit derived from this arrangement is then
allocated  based on balances  attributable to the respective  participants.  The
Company has access to a $3,881,000  bank line of credit under this  arrangement.
Thermo Electron  guarantees all of the  obligations of each  participant in this
arrangement.  At year-end 1999, the Company had borrowed  $3,058,000  under this
arrangement (Note 6).
     At  year-end  1999 and  1998,  the  Company's  and the  Predecessor's  cash
equivalents included  investments in interest-bearing  accounts at the Company's
foreign  operations,  which have an original  maturity of three  months or less.
Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market value.

Advance from Affiliate

     Effective June 1999, certain of the Company's  European-based  subsidiaries
participate in a new cash management  arrangement with a wholly owned subsidiary
of Thermo  Electron.  Under the new  arrangement,  amounts  advanced  to or from
Thermo Electron for cash management  purposes bear interest based on Euro market
rates,  which was 3.95% at  year-end  1999.  Thermo  Electron  is  contractually
required to maintain cash, cash equivalents,  and/or immediately  available bank
lines of  credit  equal to at least 50% of all funds  invested  under  this cash
management  arrangement by all Thermo  Electron  subsidiaries  other than wholly
owned subsidiaries.  The Company has the contractual right to withdraw its funds
invested in the cash  management  arrangement  upon 30 days' prior  notice.  The
Company had no funds  invested in this  arrangement  as of January 1, 2000.  The
Company has access to a  $2,568,000  line of credit under this  arrangement,  of
which the Company had borrowed $1,868,000 at year-end 1999.

Inventories

     Inventories  are stated at the lower of cost (on a weighted  average basis)
or market value and include materials,  labor, and manufacturing  overhead.  The
components of inventories are as follows:

                                             The Company      Predecessor

                                               $  27,251         $ 27,361
                                               =========         ========

     The Company  periodically reviews its quantities of inventories on hand and
compares these amounts to expected usage of each  particular  product or product
line. The Company  records as a charge to cost of revenues any amounts  required
to reduce the carrying value of inventories to net realizable value.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

     The costs of additions and improvements are capitalized,  while maintenance
and  repairs  are  charged to expense as  incurred.  The  Company  provides  for
depreciation and amortization using the straight-line  method over the estimated
useful lives of the property as follows:  buildings,  25 to 50 years;  machinery
and equipment, 4 to 8 years; and leasehold improvements, the shorter of the term
of the lease or the life of the asset.  Property,  plant, and equipment consists
of the following:

includes $1,765,000 and $1,808,000,  respectively,  of deposits for the purchase
of a building.  Other  assets  also  includes  the cost of acquired  patents and
trademarks that are being amortized  using the  straight-line  method over their
estimated  useful life of 15 years.  The acquired  patents and  trademarks  were
$1,738,000, net of accumulated amortization of $106,000 at year-end 1999.

Cost in Excess of Net Assets of Acquired Companies

     The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of acquired  companies
is  amortized  over  periods of 5 to 40 years  using the  straight-line  method.
Accumulated  amortization  was  $13,889,000  and $9,074,000 at year-end 1999 and
1998,  respectively.  The Company  assesses  the future  useful life of this and
other  long-lived  assets whenever events or changes in  circumstances  indicate
that the  current  useful  life has  diminished.  Such  events or  circumstances
generally include the occurrence of operating losses or a significant decline in
earnings  associated with the acquired  business or asset. The Company considers
the future  undiscounted  cash flows of the acquired  companies in assessing the
recoverability  of this asset.  The Company  assesses cash flows before interest
charges and when  impairment is indicated,  writes the asset down to fair value.
If quoted market values are not available,  the Company  estimates fair value by
calculating  the present value of future cash flows. If impairment has occurred,
any excess of carrying value over fair value is recorded as a loss.

Foreign Currency

     All  assets and  liabilities  of the  Company's  foreign  subsidiaries  are
translated at year-end  exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated
at average exchange rates for the year, in accordance with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign
Currency  Translation."  Resulting translation  adjustments are reflected in the
"Accumulated other comprehensive  items" component of shareholders'  investment.
Foreign currency  transaction  gains and losses are included in the accompanying
statement of operations and are not material for the three years presented.

Comprehensive Income

     Comprehensive income combines net income and "Other  comprehensive  items,"
which  represents  foreign  currency  translation  adjustments,  reported  as  a
component of  shareholders'  investment in the  accompanying  balance sheet.  At
year-end 1999 and 1998, the balance of  accumulated  other  comprehensive  items
represents the Company's cumulative translation adjustment.

1.      Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
        (continued)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forward Contracts

     The Company uses short-term  forward foreign  exchange  contracts to manage
certain exposures to foreign currencies. The Company enters into forward foreign
exchange  contracts to hedge firm purchase and sale  commitments  denominated in
currencies  other  than its  subsidiaries'  local  currencies.  These  contracts
principally hedge  transactions  denominated in United States dollars and German
deutsche marks. The purpose of the Company's foreign currency hedging activities
is to  protect  the  Company's  local  currency  cash  flows  related  to  these
commitments  from  fluctuations  in  foreign  exchange  rates.  Gains and losses
arising from forward  foreign  exchange  contracts are  recognized as offsets to
gains and losses resulting from the transactions  being hedged. The Company does
not enter into  speculative  foreign  currency  agreements.  The Company and the
Predecessor had no foreign  exchange  contracts  outstanding at year-end 1999 or
1998.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The  Company's  financial  instruments  consist  primarily of cash and cash
equivalents,  accounts receivable, short-term obligations and current maturities
of  long-term  obligation,  accounts  payable,  due to/from  parent  company and
affiliated  companies,  and long-term  obligations.  The carrying amounts of the
Company's financial  instruments,  with the exception of long-term  obligations,
approximate  fair value due to their  short-term  nature.  The fair value of the
Company's  long-term  obligations  approximates  par  value.  The fair  value of
long-term  obligations  was  determined  based on quoted  market  prices  and on
borrowing rates available to the Company at year-end 1999.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In December  1999,  the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  issued Staff
Accounting  Bulletin (SAB) 101, "Revenue  Recognition in Financial  Statements."
SAB 101 includes requirements for when shipments may be recorded as revenue when
the terms of the sale include customer acceptance provisions or an obligation of
the seller to install the product. In such instances, SAB 101 generally requires
that revenue  recognition occur upon customer acceptance and/or at completion of
installation.  SAB 101 requires that companies conform their revenue recognition
practices  to the  requirements  therein  no later  than the  fourth  quarter of
calendar 2000 through  recording a cumulative net of tax effect of the change in
accounting as of January 2, 2000.  The Company has not completed the analysis to
determine the effect that SAB 101 will have on its financial statements.
     Effective  in 2001,  the  Company  will be  required to adopt SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Company has
not completed the analysis to assess the effect of the new  pronouncement on its
financial statements.

Use of Estimates

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities,
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements,  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.      Acquisitions
---------------------

     On September 30, 1999,  the Company  formed a joint venture with Carl Zeiss
Jena GmbH called ZSP Geodetic  Systems GmbH (ZSP). ZSP manufactures and develops
survey-instrumentation  equipment.  Carl Zeiss contributed certain assets of its
Geodetic Systems Division to the joint venture and received  nonvoting shares of
ZSP  and  the  right  to  receive   $14,852,000   payable  in  eight   quarterly
installments,  plus six percent  interest,  beginning  October 4, 1999 (the Note
Payable).  The Note Payable is  denominated  in Euros.  The Company  contributed
$1,000,000  in exchange  for all of the voting  common  stock of ZSP and entered
into an arrangement  which provided both the right and obligation to acquire the
nonvoting shares of ZSP for $14,852,000. Carl Zeiss entered into an arrangement,
which provided for both the right and obligation to sell the nonvoting shares of
ZSP for $14,852,000.  Under this  arrangement,  the right to sell or acquire the
nonvoting shares of ZSP may not be exercised  earlier than 2 years or later than
3 years after  September 30, 1999.  The purchase  price of the nonvoting  shares

2.      Acquisitions (continued)
----------------------------------

arrangement is subject to reduction by the amounts  received by Carl Zeiss under
the Note Payable through the date of the purchase. The Company has accounted for
the  transaction  as an  acquisition  of the assets of ZSP and has  recorded the
obligation to Carl Zeiss as debt in the  accompanying  1999 balance  sheet.  The
cost of this  acquisition  exceeded the estimated fair value of the acquired net
assets by $10,120,000 at the date of acquisition,  which is being amortized over
20 years.
     In January 1997, the  Predecessor  purchased 92 percent of Plus 3 Software,
Inc. for  $7,772,000,  net of cash acquired.  In 1998 and 1999, the  Predecessor
purchased the remaining eight percent of Plus 3 Software, in two installments of
$262,000 and $570,000,  respectively.  Plus 3 Software has been renamed  Spectra
Precision Software, Inc. Spectra Precision Software is an Atlanta, Georgia-based
developer  of software  for civil  engineering  applications  and also  develops
internal software applications for survey and machine control products. The cost
of this acquisition exceeded the estimated fair value of the acquired net assets
by $9,820,000, which is being amortized over five years.
     In  June  1995,   the   Predecessor   purchased   51  percent  of  Quadriga
Sensortechnik GmbH, for $802,000. In December 1996, the Predecessor purchased an
additional 39 percent of Quadriga for $2,905,000.  The Predecessor purchased the
remaining  10 percent  of  Quadriga  in two  installments  in 1997 and 1998,  of
$687,000 and $127,000, respectively. Quadriga has been renamed Spectra Precision
Kaiserslautern  GmbH.  Spectra  Precision   Kaiserslautern  is  a  Germany-based
developer  and   manufacturer  of   construction   lasers  for  contractors  and
homebuilders  used in leveling  and  measurement.  The cost of this  acquisition
exceeded the  estimated  fair value of the  acquired  net assets by  $3,965,000,
which is being amortized over ten years.
     These  acquisitions  have been  accounted for using the purchase  method of
accounting  and their results have been included in the  accompanying  financial
statements  from the date of  acquisition.  Allocation of the purchase price was
based on an estimate of the fair value of the net assets acquired.
     In February 1999, Thermo Instrument  acquired 99% of the outstanding shares
of Spectra-Physics,  a Stockholm Stock Exchange-listed company, in completion of
Thermo  Instrument's cash tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding  shares
of Spectra-Physics.  In March 2000, Thermo Instrument  completed the acquisition
of the remaining  Spectra-Physics  shares outstanding pursuant to the compulsory
acquisition rules applicable to Swedish companies.  The aggregate purchase price
was $351,513,000  including related expenses. The accompanying Company financial
statements  include the assets and liabilities of the Company at their estimated
fair values including an allocation of Thermo  Instrument's total cost in excess
of  net  assets  of  acquired   companies   arising  from  the   acquisition  of
Spectra-Physics.  The  allocation  of cost in excess of net  assets of  acquired
companies  was made  based on the  Company's  revenues,  net  worth,  and assets
relative to the total revenues,  net worth, and assets of  Spectra-Physics.  The
Company  believes  this  methodology  is reasonable  and in accordance  with the
guidance provided by SEC SAB 55 (Topic 1:B). The cost in excess of net assets of
acquired companies totaled $84,369,000 and is being amortized over 40 years.

     The Company has  undertaken  restructuring  actions in connection  with its
acquisition by Thermo Instrument. The Company's restructuring activities,  which
were accounted for in accordance with Emerging  Issues Task Force  Pronouncement
(EITF) 95-3,  have included a reduction in staffing levels across all functions,
relocation of personnel,  and  abandonment of excess  facilities.  In connection
with these restructuring activities, the Company established reserves, primarily
for severance and excess facilities. In accordance with the requirements of EITF
95-3, the Company  finalized its restructuring  plans by February 2000.  Accrued
acquisition  expenses are included in other accrued expenses in the accompanying
1999 balance sheet.

3.      Dispositions
-----------------------

     In June 1998, the  Predecessor  sold the assets and certain  liabilities of
its  Spectra-Physics  Credit Corp. (SPCC) subsidiary for proceeds of $3,082,000,
net of  cash  disposed  of  $3,858,000.  The  Predecessor  realized  a  gain  of
$2,922,000 on the transaction.  In connection with the sale of SPCC in 1998, the
Predecessor  entered  into an  arrangement  which  resulted  in the receipt of a
payment  based on  business  provided to SPCC in excess of $25 million and up to
$50 million.  In the third quarter of 1999, the Company  reached the $25 million
threshold  and began to receive  payments  under this  arrangement.  The Company
received  payments  from the buyer of $632,000 in the period  ending  January 1,
2000,  and $599,000 in the first  quarter of 2000.  The gain on the sale of SPCC
and the 1999 payment were recorded in other unusual costs (income),  net, in the
accompanying statement of operations.  SPCC provided capital leasing services to
the Predecessor's  customers. The Predecessor retained recourse to the buyer for
certain leases  provided by SPCC in the event of default by SPCC  customers.  At
the time of the sale of SPCC,  the  Predecessor  had  recourse  for  outstanding
leases  of   approximately   $5,000,000.   At  year-end   1999  and  1998,   the
Company/Predecessor   had  recourse  for  outstanding   loans  of  approximately
$2,300,000 and $3,900,000, respectively. The Company/Predecessor has established
reserves for this contingent liability.

     In October 1999,  the Company sold the assets of its Spectra  Precision SRL
subsidiary  in Italy for book  value.  The  Company  received a note  receivable
denominated in Italian lira for $2,241,000 at the date of sale, payable in eight
quarterly  installments.  The note  bears  interest  at an annual  rate of 6.5%.
Spectra Precision SRL was a sales office which sold products produced  primarily
in the U.S. and Germany.

4.      Employee Benefit Plans
--------------------------------

Employee Stock Purchase Program
     Beginning  November 1, 1999,  substantially all of the Company's  full-time
U.S. employees are eligible to participate in an employee stock purchase program
sponsored by Thermo Instrument and Thermo Electron.  Under this program,  shares
of Thermo  Instrument's and Thermo  Electron's  common stock may be purchased at
85% of the lower of the fair market value at the beginning or end of the period,
and the shares  purchased are subject to a one-year resale  restriction.  Shares
are purchased  through  payroll  deductions  of up to 10% of each  participating
employee's gross wages.

401(k) Savings Plan
     Certain of the Predecessor's and the Company's full-time U.S. employees are
eligible to participate in 401(k) savings plans.  Contributions to the plans are
made by both the employee and the employer. Company contributions are based upon
the level of employee  contributions.  The  Company/Predecessor  contributed and
charged to expense for these plans  $492,000  from  February 22,  1999,  through
January 1, 2000;  $112,000 from January 1, 1999,  through February 21, 1999; and
$593,000 and $547,000 in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Defined Contribution Pension Plans
     In addition,  certain of the Company's subsidiaries participate in European
state sponsored pension plans.  Contributions are based on specified percentages
of employee salaries. For these plans, the  Company/Predecessor  contributed and
charged to expense  $1,046,000 from February 22, 1999,  through January 1, 2000;
$150,000  from January 1, 1999,  through  February  21,  1999;  and $862,000 and
$849,000 in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan
     The Company's  Swedish  subsidiary has an unfunded  defined benefit pension
plan that covered  substantially  all of its full-time  employees  through 1993.
Benefits are based on a percentage of eligible earnings. The employee

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

must have had a projected period of pensionable  service of at least 30 years as
of  1993.  If  the  period  was  shorter,   the  pension  benefits  are  reduced
accordingly. Active employees do not accrue any future benefits, therefore there
is no service cost and the liability will only increase with interest cost.

     Net periodic benefit costs included the following components:

more likely than not that these  deferred tax assets will not be  realized.  Any
tax  benefit   resulting  from  use  of  acquired  foreign  net  operating  loss
carryforwards will be recorded as a reduction of cost in excess of net assets of
acquired companies. As of January 1, 2000, the Company had $4,800,000 of foreign
tax loss  carryforwards  of which  $3,600,000  expire in various amounts through
2004 and $1,200,000 does not expire.

6.      Related-party Transactions
-------------------------------------

Corporate Services Agreement
     The Company and Thermo Electron have a corporate  services  agreement under
which  Thermo  Electron's   corporate  staff  provides  certain   administrative
services, including certain legal advice and services, risk management,  certain
employee  benefit  administration,  tax advice and  preparation  of tax returns,
centralized cash management, and certain financial and other services, for which
the  Company  pays  Thermo  Electron  annually  an  amount  equal to 0.8% of the
Company's revenues.  For these services,  the Company was charged $1,585,000 for
the period from February 22, 1999,  through January 1, 2000. The fee is reviewed
and adjusted annually by mutual agreement of the parties. The corporate services
agreement is renewed  annually but can be terminated  upon 30 days' prior notice
by the  Company  or upon  the  Company's  withdrawal  from the  Thermo  Electron
Corporate   Charter  (the  Thermo   Electron   Corporate   Charter  defines  the
relationships  among  Thermo  Electron  and  its  majority-owned  subsidiaries).
Management  believes  that  the  service  fee  charged  by  Thermo  Electron  is
reasonable  and that such fees are  representative  of the  expenses the Company
would  have  incurred  on a  stand-alone  basis.  For  additional  items such as
employee benefit plans, insurance coverage, and other identifiable costs, Thermo
Electron charges the Company based upon costs attributable to the Company.

Related-party Lease
     The  Company  leases  office  space in Ohio  from an  association  of three
individuals,  two of which  are vice  presidents  of one of the  Company's  U.S.
operating units, under a noncancellable  operating lease arrangement expiring in
2011.  The annual rent is $345,000,  and is subject to  adjustment  based on the
terms of the lease. The accompanying  statement of operations  includes expenses
from this operating lease of $290,000 from February 22, 1999, through January 1,

                NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINDED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.      Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nature of Operations
     Spectra Precision  represents  certain  businesses owned by Spectra-Physics
AB, which develop,  manufacture,  and market complete positioning  solutions for
the construction,  surveying,  and agricultural markets.  Products include laser
alignment instruments, machine control systems, and survey instruments.

Relationship with Thermo Instrument Systems Inc. and Thermo Electron Corporation
     On  February   22,  1999,   Thermo   Instrument   Systems   Inc.   acquired
Spectra-Physics (Note 2). Thermo Instrument is an 88% owned subsidiary of Thermo
Electron Corporation.

     The accompanying  financial statements prior to February 22, 1999 represent
the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of Spectra Precision as included in
Spectra-Physics'  financial statements prior to Spectra-Physics'  acquisition by
Thermo  Instrument (the  Predecessor).  The  accompanying  financial  statements
subsequent to February 21, 1999, represent the assets,  liabilities,  income and
expenses  of Spectra  Precision  as  included  in Thermo  Instrument's  combined
financial statements (the Company). The accompanying financial statements do not
include Thermo Instrument's or Spectra-Physics' general corporate debt, which is
used to finance the operations of these companies' respective businesses,  or an
allocation of Thermo Instrument's or Spectra-Physics' interest expense.

Principles of Combination
     The accompanying  financial statements include the combined accounts of the
Spectra  Precision  businesses,  which are subject to a definitive  agreement in
which the Company will be sold to Trimble Navigation Ltd. (Note 5). All material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Basis of Accounting
     The principal difference in the basis of accounting between the Predecessor
and the  Company  relates  to the  cost in  excess  of net  assets  of  acquired
companies,  the  amortization  of which  approximates  $2,100,000  per year. The
significant  accounting  policies of the Company  described herein apply to both
the Company and the Predecessor, except where stated otherwise.

Fiscal Year and Periods Presented
     Spectra  Precision has a 52-53 week fiscal year, which ends on the Saturday
nearest to December 31,  which for fiscal 2000 will be December  30,  2000.  The
Company's  fiscal  year  normally  consists  of 52 weeks  split  into four equal
quarters of 13 weeks each;  however,  due to the fact that there are not exactly
52 weeks in a calendar  year and that there is at least  slightly  more than one
additional  day per calendar  year,  as compared to a 52-week  fiscal year,  the
Company will have a fiscal year composed of 53 weeks in certain fiscal years.

     In those  resulting  fiscal  years that have 53 weeks,  one  quarter of the
fiscal  year will have 14 weeks and the  Company  will  record an extra  week of
revenues, costs and related financial activity. Therefore, the financial results
of those fiscal years, and the associated  quarter,  having the extra week, will
not be exactly  comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years, and
the associated  quarters having only 13 weeks.  Thus, due to the inherent nature
of a 52-53 week fiscal year, the Company, analysts, shareholders,  investors and
others will have to make appropriate  adjustments to any analysis performed when
comparing the Company's  activities  and results in fiscal years that contain 53
weeks,  to those that contain only the standard 52 weeks.  The next 53-week year
will be fiscal year 2002.

     The results of operations  for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000
are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 30, 2000.

Revenue Recognition
     The Company  generally  recognizes  product  revenues  upon shipment of its
products or upon  installation if required by contract.  The Company  provides a
reserve for its estimate of warranty  costs and returns at the time of shipment.
In  accordance   with  Statement  of  Position  No.  97-2,   "Software   Revenue
Recognition,"  revenue from software is recognized upon execution of the license
agreement and delivery of the software when any ongoing service  commitments are
not critical to the  functionality  of the  software;  otherwise  revenue on the
service component is recognized over the life of the contract.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
     The  Company,  along  with  other  European-based  subsidiaries  of  Thermo
Electron,  participates in a notional pool arrangement in the U.K. with Barclays
Bank.  Under this  arrangement,  Barclays  notionally  combines the positive and
negative cash balances  held by the  participants  to calculate the net interest
yield/expense  for the group.  The benefit derived from this arrangement is then
allocated  based on balances  attributable to the respective  participants.  The
Company has access to a $3,881,000  bank line of credit under this  arrangement.
Thermo Electron  guarantees all of the  obligations of each  participant in this
arrangement.  At June 30, 2000, the Company had borrowed  $3,085,226  under this
arrangement.

     At June 30, 2000 and January 1, 2000,  the Company's and the  Predecessor's
cash  equivalents  included  investments  in  interest-bearing  accounts  at the
Company's foreign operations, which have an original maturity of three months or
less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market value.

Advance from Affiliate
     Effective June 1999, certain of the Company's  European-based  subsidiaries
participate in a new cash management  arrangement with a wholly owned subsidiary
of Thermo  Electron.  Under the new  arrangement,  amounts  advanced  to or from
Thermo Electron for cash management  purposes bear interest based on Euro market
rates,  which were .9525% % at June 30, 2000.  Thermo Electron is  contractually
required to maintain cash, cash equivalents,  and/or immediately  available bank
lines of  credit  equal to at least 50% of all funds  invested  under  this cash
management  arrangement by all Thermo  Electron  subsidiaries  other than wholly
owned subsidiaries.  The Company has the contractual right to withdraw its funds
invested in the cash  management  arrangement  upon 30 days' prior  notice.  The
Company  had no funds  invested in this  arrangement  as of June 30,  2000.  The
Company has access to a  $2,568,000  line of credit under this  arrangement,  of
which the Company had borrowed $1,338,276 at June 30, 2000.

Inventories
     Inventories  are stated at the lower of cost (on a weighted  average basis)
or market value and include materials,  labor, and manufacturing  overhead.  The
components of inventories are as follows:

                                      =============

     The Company  periodically reviews its quantities of inventories on hand and
compares these amounts to expected usage of each  particular  product or product
line. The Company records,  as a charge to cost of revenues any amounts required
to reduce the carrying value of inventories to net realizable value.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

     The costs of additions and improvements are capitalized,  while maintenance
and  repairs  are  charged to expense as  incurred.  The  Company  provides  for
depreciation and amortization using the straight-line  method over the estimated
useful lives of the property as follows:  buildings,  25 to 50 years;  machinery
and equipment, 4 to 8 years; and leasehold improvements, the shorter of the term
of the lease or the life of the asset.  Property,  plant, and equipment consists
of the following:


                                                                   June 30,

                                                                 =============

Other Assets
     Other  assets in the  accompanying  balance  sheet at June 30, 2000 include
$1,777,000  of  deposits  for the  purchase  of a  building.  Other  assets also
includes the cost of acquired  patents and trademarks  that are being  amortized
using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of 15 years. The
acquired patents and trademarks were $1,677,000, net of accumulated amortization
of $167,000 at June 30, 2000.

Cost in Excess of Net Assets of Acquired Companies
     The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of acquired  companies
is  amortized  over  periods of 5 to 40 years  using the  straight-line  method.
Accumulated  amortization was $16,994,000 at June 30, 2000. The Company assesses
the future useful life of this and other  long-lived  assets  whenever events or
changes in  circumstances  indicate that the current useful life has diminished.
Such events or  circumstances  generally  include the  occurrence  of  operating
losses  or a  significant  decline  in  earnings  associated  with the  acquired
business or asset. The Company  considers the future  undiscounted cash flows of
the acquired  companies  in  assessing  the  recoverability  of this asset.  The
Company  assesses  cash flows before  interest  charges and when  impairment  is
indicated,  writes the asset down to fair value. If quoted market values are not
available,  the Company estimates fair value by calculating the present value of
future cash flows. If impairment has occurred, any excess of carrying value over
fair value is recorded as a loss.

Comprehensive Income
     Comprehensive income combines net income and "Other  comprehensive  items,"
which  represents  foreign  currency  translation  adjustments,  reported  as  a
component of shareholders' investment in the accompanying balance sheet. At June
30, 2000, the balance of accumulated  other  comprehensive  items represents the
Company's cumulative translation adjustment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In December  1999,  the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  issued Staff
Accounting  Bulletin (SAB) 101, "Revenue  Recognition in Financial  Statements."
SAB 101 includes requirements for when shipments may be recorded as revenue when
the terms of the sale include customer acceptance provisions or an obligation of
the seller to install the product. In such instances, SAB 101 generally requires
that revenue  recognition occur upon customer acceptance and/or at completion of
installation.  SAB 101 requires that companies conform their revenue recognition
practices  to the  requirements  therein  no later  than the  fourth  quarter of
calendar 2000 through  recording a cumulative net of tax effect of the change in
accounting as of January 2, 2000.  The Company has not completed the analysis to
determine the effect that SAB 101 will have on its financial statements.

     Effective  in 2001,  the  Company  will be  required to adopt SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative


                                       28
<PAGE>


Instruments  and Hedging  Activities."  The Company has not  completed  the
analysis  to  assess  the  effect  of the  new  pronouncement  on its  financial
statements.

2.      Acquisitions
-----------------------

     In February 1999, Thermo Instrument  acquired 99% of the outstanding shares
of Spectra-Physics,  a Stockholm Stock Exchange-listed company, in completion of
Thermo  Instrument's cash tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding  shares
of Spectra-Physics.  In March 2000, Thermo Instrument  completed the acquisition
of the remaining  Spectra-Physics  shares outstanding pursuant to the compulsory
acquisition rules applicable to Swedish companies.  The aggregate purchase price
was $351,513,000  including related expenses. The accompanying Company financial
statements  include the assets and liabilities of the Company at their estimated
fair values including an allocation of Thermo  Instrument's total cost in excess
of  net  assets  of  acquired   companies   arising  from  the   acquisition  of
Spectra-Physics.  The  allocation  of cost in excess of net  assets of  acquired
companies  was made  based on the  Company's  revenues,  net  worth,  and assets
relative to the total revenues,  net worth, and assets of  Spectra-Physics.  The
Company  believes  this  methodology  is reasonable  and in accordance  with the
guidance provided by SEC SAB 55 (Topic 1:B). The cost in excess of net assets of
acquired companies totaled $84,369,000 and is being amortized over 40 years.

     The Company has  undertaken  restructuring  actions in connection  with its
acquisition by Thermo Instrument. The Company's restructuring activities,  which
were accounted for in accordance with Emerging  Issues Task Force  Pronouncement
(EITF) 95-3,  have included a reduction in staffing levels across all functions,
relocation of personnel,  and  abandonment of excess  facilities.  In connection
with these restructuring activities, the Company established reserves, primarily
for severance and excess facilities. In accordance with the requirements of EITF
95-3, the Company  finalized its restructuring  plans by February 2000.  Accrued
acquisition  expenses are included in other accrued expenses in the accompanying
June 30, 2000 balance sheet.

     The  Company  established  reserves  for  severance  for 24  employees  and
completed  payments for severance in the first quarter of 2000. A summary of the
change in accrued acquisition expenses for severance is as follows:

3.      Dispositions
----------------------

     In June 1998, the  Predecessor  sold the assets and certain  liabilities of
its  Spectra-Physics  Credit Corp. (SPCC) subsidiary for proceeds of $3,082,000,
net of  cash  disposed  of  $3,858,000.  The  Predecessor  realized  a  gain  of
$2,922,000 on the transaction.  In connection with the sale of SPCC in 1998, the
Predecessor  entered  into an  arrangement  that  resulted  in the  receipt of a
payment  based on  business  provided to SPCC in excess of $25 million and up to
$50 million.  In the third quarter of 1999, the Company  reached the $25 million
threshold  and began to receive  payments  under this  arrangement.  The Company
received payments from the buyer of $600,000 and $600,000 in the first three and
six  months  of  2000,  respectively.  The gain on the sale of SPCC and the 1999
payment  were  recorded  in  other  costs  (income),  net,  in the  accompanying
statement  of  operations.   SPCC  provided  capital  leasing  services  to  the
Predecessor's  customers.  The  Predecessor  retained  recourse to the buyer for
certain leases  provided by SPCC in the event of default by SPCC  customers.  At
the time of the sale of SPCC,  the  Predecessor  had  recourse  for  outstanding
leases of approximately  $5,000,000.  At June 30, 2000, the Company had recourse
for outstanding loans of approximately  $2,000,000.  The Company has established
reserves for this contingent liability.

     In October 1999,  the Company sold the assets of its Spectra  Precision SRL
subsidiary  in Italy for book  value.  The  Company  received a note  receivable
denominated in Italian lira for $2,241,000 at the date of sale, payable in eight
quarterly  installments.  The note  bears  interest  at an annual  rate of 6.5%.
Spectra Precision SRL was a sales office that sold products  produced  primarily
in the U.S. and Germany.

4.      Related-party Transactions
------------------------------------

Corporate Services Agreement
     The Company and Thermo Electron have a corporate  services  agreement under
which  Thermo  Electron's   corporate  staff  provides  certain   administrative
services, including certain legal advice and services, risk management,  certain
employee  benefit  administration,  tax advice and  preparation  of tax returns,
centralized cash management, and certain financial and other services, for which
the  Company  pays  Thermo  Electron  annually  an  amount  equal to 0.8% of the
Company's revenues.  For these services, the Company was charged $0 and $434,944
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000,  respectively.  The fee
is reviewed  and  adjusted  annually by mutual  agreement  of the  parties.  The
corporate  services  agreement is renewed annually but can be terminated upon 30
days' prior  notice by the  Company or upon the  Company's  withdrawal  from the
Thermo Electron Corporate Charter (the Thermo Electron Corporate Charter defines
the relationships  among Thermo Electron and its  majority-owned  subsidiaries).
Management  believes  that  the  service  fee  charged  by  Thermo  Electron  is
reasonable  and that such fees are  representative  of the  expenses the Company
would  have  incurred  on a  stand-alone  basis.  For  additional  items such as
employee benefit plans, insurance coverage, and other identifiable costs, Thermo
Electron charges the Company based upon costs attributable to the Company.

Related-party Lease
     The  Company  leases  office  space in Ohio  from an  association  of three
individuals,  two of which  are vice  presidents  of one of the  Company's  U.S.
operating units, under a noncancellable  operating lease arrangement expiring in
2011.  The annual rent is $345,000,  and is subject to  adjustment  based on the
terms of the lease. The accompanying  statement of operations  includes expenses
from this  operating  lease of $86,347 and  $172,700 for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2000, respectively.

Cash Management
     The  Company  invests  excess  cash  and  borrows  short-term  funds  under
arrangements with Thermo Electron as discussed in Note 1.

     The  Predecessor  and the Company  borrowed  and lent funds  from/to  other
subsidiaries of Spectra  Physics.  Such borrowings and advances were at variable
market rates and were  classified as due to/from  parent  company and affiliated
companies in the accompanying balance sheet.

                           TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LIMITED
          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction to Pro Forma Financial Information

     Effective as of July 14, 2000,  Trimble  Navigation  Limited,  a California
Corporation  ("Trimble"  or the  "Company")  completed  the  acquisition  of the
Spectra  Precision  wholly owned  businesses  formerly owned by Thermo  Electron
Corporation  ("Thermo  Electron"),  collectively known as the "Spectra Precision
Group" for an aggregate purchase price of approximately  $294 million,  which is
subject to a final  adjustment  in the  purchase  price as  provided  for in the
acquisition  agreements.  The acquisition  includes 100% of the stock of Spectra
Precision  Inc.,  a Delaware  corporation,  Spectra  Precision  SRL,  an Italian
corporation,  Spectra Physics Holdings GmbH, a German  corporation,  and Spectra
Precision  BV, a  Netherlands  corporation.  The  acquisition  also  consists of
certain assets and liabilities of Spectra  Precision AB, a Swedish  corporation,
including  100% of the shares of  Spectra  Precision  SA, a French  corporation,
Spectra Precision  Scandinavia AB, a Swedish  corporation,  Spectra Precision of
Canada Ltd., a Canadian  corporation,  and Spectra Precision  Handelsges mbH, an
Austrian corporation.

     The  acquisition  will be treated as a purchase  for  accounting  purposes;
accordingly,  Trimble's  consolidated  results of  operations  will  include the
operating  results of the Spectra  Precision  Group  subsequent to the effective
acquisition  date.  The  acquisition  was  financed  with $80  million in seller
subordinated  debt, $140 million of cash provided  through a syndicate of banks,
and $74 million of the Company's  available cash on hand.  The Company  acquired
approximately  $133  million of  identifiable  intangible  assets as part of the
acquisition  which the Company  expects to amortize  over  various  time periods
ranging from 5 to 10 years and expects to record  approximately  $121 million of
goodwill  due to the  acquisition  which will be  amortized  over 20 years.  The
Company  also  expects  to  incur $7 to $8  million  of costs  and  expenses  in
connection with the acquisition.

     The following  unaudited pro forma  condensed  consolidated  financial data
present the effect of Trimble`s  acquisition  of Spectra  Precision  Group.  The
unaudited  pro  forma   condensed   consolidated   balance  sheet  presents  the
consolidated  financial  position of Trimble as of June 30, 2000,  assuming that
the  acquisition  had occurred as of that date.  Such pro forma  information  is
based upon the historical  balance sheet data of Trimble as of June 30, 2000 and
Spectra Precision Group as of June 30, 2000. The historical balance sheet of the
Spectra  Precision  Group at June  30,  2000 and the  historical  statements  of
operations for the year ended January 1, 2000 (which includes Spectra  Precision
Group results for the period from February 22, 1999 through  January 1, 2000 and
its predecessor  for the period from January 1, 1999 through  February 21, 1999)
and  the six  months  ended  June  30,  2000 do not  agree  with  the  financial
statements   included  in  Item  7(a)  of  this  Form  8-K/A   because   certain
insignificant  net assets and operations of the Spectra Precision Group were not
purchased by Trimble. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated  statements
of income for the year ended December 31, 1999 and for the six months ended June
30, 2000 give effect to earnings as if the  acquisition  had occurred on January
2, 1999.  The  unaudited pro forma  condensed  consolidated  financial  data are
prepared using the purchase method of accounting.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated financial data are based on
the estimates and assumptions set forth in the notes to such  statements,  which
are  preliminary  and have been made solely for purposes of developing  such pro
forma information. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data
are not  necessarily  an indication of the results that would have been achieved
had the transaction been consummated as of the dates indicated.

     The unaudited pro forma  condensed  consolidated  financial  data should be
read in conjunction with the historical  financial  statements and notes thereto
of Trimble, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1999 and the  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter  ended June 30,
2000, and the historical  financial statements of the Spectra Precision Group at
December  31,  1999 and for the three  years then ended and at June 30, 2000 and
for the three and six months then ended included herein.

expects  to incur  and  estimated  $7 to $8  million  of costs and  expenses  in
connection  with the  acquisition.  The total purchase price  including cost and
expenses is expected to be approximately $302 million.

                                              =================


     The  preliminary  purchase price  allocation is based on the estimated fair
values  of the  acquired  assets  and  assumed  liabilities  and an  independent
appraisal of intangible assets and certain tangible assets.  The Company expects
to  finalize  the  purchase  price  allocation  within  six  months and does not
anticipate  material  adjustments to the preliminary  purchase price  allocation
presented.  This  preliminary  allocation  has resulted in acquired  goodwill of
approximately  $121 million,  which is being amortized on a straight-line  basis
over 20 years and other  acquired  intangible  assets of $133 million  which are
being are being amortized over expected useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years.

represents  the net  increase in value of fixed  assets  based on a  preliminary
valuation.
