                      REPORT  OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
                      ----------------------------------

To the Board of Directors of
        Industrial Scientific Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of Industrial Scientific Corporation Profit Sharing Plan (Plan) as of December
31, 1995, and 1994, and the related statement of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 report on the Plan dated May 30, 1995, we did not express an opinion on
the 1994 financial statements and supplemental schedules taken as a whole. As
permitted by 29 CFR 2520.103-8 of the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under The Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, the plan administrator instructed us not to perform, and
we did not perform, any auditing procedures with respect to information
certified by The Principal Financial Group and Integra Trust Company, the
custodians of the Plan. Subsequent to the issuance of this report, auditing
procedures were performed with respect to the information certified by the
custodians. Accordingly, our present opinion on the 1994 financial statements,
as presented herein, is different from that expressed in our previous report.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department for Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Fund Information in the
statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in
net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and
changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The supplemental
schedules and Fund Information have been subject to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

1.  Description of Plan:
    -------------------

    Industrial Scientific Corporation Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan),
    established as of May 1, 1985, is a defined contribution plan covering
    substantially all employees who have completed one year of service.

    Generally, the Plan provides that employees may make regular pre-tax
    contributions of 1% to 15% of their salaries. The Plan provides a number of
    investment options. Employees direct that their contribution be invested
    entirely in one fund or allocated among all funds, subject to allocation
    limitations set forth in the Plan. Changes in allocation of future
    contributions and transfers of presently invested contributions among funds
    are permitted pursuant to the Plan provisions.

    When profitable, Industrial Scientific Corporation (the Company) has
    committed to match employee salary deferrals at 50%, up to 6% of eligible
    employee compensation. During 1995 and 1994, the Company made additional
    discretionary contributions, increasing the total Company match to $1.00 for
    every $1.00 of employee salary deferrals and $2.00 for every $1.00 of
    employee salary deferrals, respectively. In no event, however, shall such
    contributions for any year exceed the maximum amount deductible from the
    Company's income for such year under the provisions of the Internal Revenue
    Code.

    Participants are fully vested in the value of their contribution at all
    times and become vested in employer contributions over a 7-year period.
    Participants' loans may be granted subject to specified limitations and only
    against that portion of their account that is vested. Loans, which bear
    interest at a rate of prime plus 2%, are collateralized by the vested
    portion of the participant's account and repayments are made through payroll
    deductions. Loans were made in the amount of $75,930 and $69,688 for the
    years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

    Effective January 1, 1994, the Company changed the custodian of the Plan
    from The Principal Financial Group to Integra Trust Company. The transfer of
    funds held by The Principal Financial Group will occur over a three-year
    period since the investments held are primarily guaranteed insurance
    contracts and mature at various dates through 1996.


2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
    ------------------------------------------

    The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis
    and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The
    following are the significant accounting policies followed by the Plan:

       Investment Income:
       -----------------

       Investment income included in the Principal Fixed Income Fund is
       comprised of interest income and the net appreciation (depreciation) in
       the fair value of guaranteed investment contracts which consist of the
       realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
       on those investments. A breakdown of the components of investment income
       and the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of the
       guaranteed investment contracts is not available from The Principal
       Financial Group.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:
    ------------------------------------------

       Dividend and Interest Income:
       ----------------------------
 
       Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest is recorded
       as earned.

       Net  Appreciation (Depreciation) in Value of Investments:
       --------------------------------------------------------

       The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for
       benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the value of its
       investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and, in
       accordance with the policy of stating investments at fair value, the
       unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

       Withdrawals:
       -----------

       Withdrawals are recorded when paid.

       Other:
       -----

       Primarily all administrative expenses are paid by the Company and are not
       expenses of the Plan.

       Forfeitures:
       -----------

       Forfeited, non-vested accounts are allocated to the remaining participant
       accounts when forfeited.

       Allocations to Participant Accounts:
       -----------------------------------

       Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
       contribution and allocations of the Company's contribution, Plan
       earnings, and forfeitures and is charged with an allocation of
       administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or
       account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is
       entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's
       vested account.

       Use of Estimates:
       ----------------

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

3.      Investments, continued:
        ----------- 

        At December 31, 1995 and 1994, all investments are held by Integra Trust
        Company with the exception of the Fixed Income Fund which is held by The
        Principal Financial Group. The Money Market Fund is comprised of short-
        term money market instruments such as commercial paper, U.S. Treasury
        bills and certificates of deposit (less than one year) and is stated at
        cost which approximates fair value. The Fixed Income Fund is a
        guaranteed investment which has been stated at cost plus reinvested
        earnings, which approximates contract value and as of December 31, 1995,
        approximates fair value. Participant loans are valued based on the
        original loan value less principal repayments which approximates fair
        value. Mutual fund shares are valued at the fair value of the underlying
        assets.

        Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest
        rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with
        certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to
        changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably
        possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect
        participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statement
        of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in
        net assets available for benefits. The Plan's assets also include
        certain investments in guaranteed investment contracts (Fixed Income
        Fund). The Plan's ultimate realization of amounts invested in such
        contracts is dependent on the continued financial stability of the
        insurance company that issued the contracts.


5.      Tax Status:
        ----------

        The United States Treasury Department has advised that the Plan is
        qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is
        therefore exempt from federal income taxes under provisions of Section
        501(a). Additionally, employee contributions to the Plan, subject to
        certain IRC limits, are also exempt from federal income taxes of the
        employee. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination
        letter. However, the Company believes that the Plan is designed and
        currently is being operated in compliance with applicable requirements
        of the IRC.


6.      Plan Termination:
        ----------------

        The Plan may be terminated by the Company; however, management currently
        has no intention of terminating the Plan. In the event of Plan
        termination, participants are always fully vested in the value of their
        accounts.
