INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Participants and Administrative Committee
  of Tab Products Co. Profit-Sharing Trust and
  Tax Deferred Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of Tab Products Co. Profit-Sharing Trust and Tax Deferred Savings
Plan (the Plan) as of May 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended.
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 opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the Plan's net assets available for plan benefits at May 31, 1995
and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of (1)
assets held for investment purposes as of May 31, 1995, and (2) reportable
transactions for the year ended May 31, 1995, 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 of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  These schedules are the
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such schedules have been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1995 financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

TAB PRODUCTS CO. PROFIT-SHARING TRUST AND
TAX DEFERRED SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 1995 AND 1994
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

   The following brief description of the Tab Products Co. Profit-Sharing
   Trust and Tax Deferred Savings Plan (the Plan) is provided for general
   information purposes only.  Participants should refer to the Plan
   agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

   GENERAL - The Tab Products Co. Profit-Sharing Trust and Tax Deferred
   Savings Plan (the Plan) is a self-administered trusteed plan which covers
   substantially all of the employees of Tab Products Co. (the Company).
   The assets of the Plan are held by Bank of America, N.T. & S.A., Trustee,
   except for the Frank Russell Trust funds, which are held by Frank Russell
   Trust Company, investment advisors.

   The Plan was amended as of January 1, 1974, changing the Profit-Sharing
   Trust to the Incentive Thrift Plan.  Under the Profit-Sharing Trust, for
   which there have been no contributions since 1973, discretionary Company
   contributions were made, whereas under the Incentive Thrift Plan, Company
   contributions are defined.

   Effective October 1, 1984, the Incentive Thrift Plan was amended to
   create the Tax Deferred Savings Plan.  The change qualified the Plan
   under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
   whereby employee contributions are deferred from federal income taxes
   until withdrawal.

   Since January 1, 1974, new employees have not been eligible to join the
   Profit-Sharing Trust which continues to be accounted for separately from
   the Tax Deferred Savings Plan.  The assets of the Profit-Sharing Trust
   are held by Bank of America, N.T. & S.A., Trustee and Frank Russell Trust
   Company, investment advisors.  The assets will be distributed to existing
   Plan members who were participants in the Profit-Sharing Trust upon
   termination of employment.  Plan assets held by Frank Russell Trust
   Company are invested in the following common collective trust funds
   managed by the Frank Russell Trust Company as directed by the individual
   employee:

      FRANK RUSSELL FIXED INCOME FUND - Funds are invested in shares of a
      registered investment company that invests mainly in government and
      corporate bonds of intermediate length of maturity.

      FRANK RUSSELL EQUITY I FUND - Funds are invested in shares of a
      registered investment company that invests mainly in large and medium
      sized companies.

      FRANK RUSSELL EQUITY II FUND - Funds are invested in shares of a
      registered investment company that invests mainly in small and medium
      sized companies.

   CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLAN - Provisions of the Plan provide that eligible
   participants may contribute either 2, 3 or 4% of their compensation as a
   basic tax deferred savings contribution (basic contribution).  Employees
   who contribute 4% of their compensation may elect to contribute up to an
   additional 11% of their compensation as a supplemental tax deferred
   contribution (supplemental contribution) subject to

                                     - 4 -

<PAGE>

   certain IRS limitations.  The Company will make a matching contribution
   of 50% of the basic contribution made by each participant during a fiscal
   quarter.  Supplemental contributions of participants are not matched by
   the Company.

   In addition to the matching Company contribution, the Company will make
   an annual incentive contribution to the Plan if the Company's net income
   equals or exceeds 5% of revenues.  Contributions of participants are
   withheld from compensation earned throughout the year, whereas the
   matching company contribution is payable quarterly to the Trustee.  The
   Company's incentive contribution, if any, is payable no later than the
   filing date for the Company's federal income tax return.  The Company's
   matching and incentive contributions may be made in Tab Products Co.
   common stock or cash, which is used to purchase Tab Products Co. common
   stock in the open market.  Employer contributions in 1995 and 1994
   consisted primarily of 48,033 and 39,874 shares, respectively, of the
   Company's stock.

   PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Each participant's account is credited with the
   participant's contribution and allocations of (a) the Company's
   contribution and, (b) Plan earnings. 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.

   ELIGIBILITY AND VESTING - All domestic employees, except those performing
   piece-work off the premises of the Company, are eligible to become
   participants in the Plan on the first day of the next fiscal quarter
   which follows nine months of service with the Company.  In addition, if a
   collective bargaining unit is formed in the future, such members will not
   become eligible to participate in the Plan unless so specified in the
   collective bargaining agreement.

   The Company's matching and incentive contributions are referred to as the
   Company Contribution Account.  The Company Contribution Account of a
   participant shall vest in accordance with the following schedule:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>


                 Years of Service for              Percentage

                Less than 2 years                         0%
                2 years                                  25%
                3 years                                  50%
                4 years                                  75%
                5 years                                 100%

</TABLE>


   One hundred percent of the Company Contribution Account will vest upon
   termination of employment by reason of retirement, death or total
   disability.  Any unvested portion of the Company Contribution account is
   forfeited.  The Company's matching and incentive contribution, if any, to
   the Plan is reduced by the amount of such forfeitures.  Employees'
   contributions to the Plan are fully vested at all times.

   PLAN BENEFITS - When a participant's employment terminates, he is
   eligible to receive all of his vested Accounts under the Plan.  In the
   event a participant's employment is terminated other than by retirement,
   death or total disability, only the vested portion of the Company
   Contribution Account will be paid.

   Participants may withdraw part of their own Tax Deferred Savings Plan
   contributions (including accumulated earnings) and under certain
   circumstances up to 50% of their vested Company Contribution Account.  A
   participant electing to withdraw any portion of his or her vested Company
   Contribution Account will not receive any matching Company Contribution
   in the quarter of the withdrawal.  Additionally, a participant may
   withdraw a portion of the vested amounts in any of his or her accounts
   under the Plan in the event of a financial hardship.  A participant is
   not eligible to receive any matching Company contribution in the quarter
   a hardship withdrawal is made.

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>


   PLAN TERMINATION - Although Tab Products Co. established the Plan with the
   intention that it continue indefinitely, the Company has the right to
   discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject
   to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event the Plan is terminated, each
   participant shall have a 100% vested interest in the balance credited to
   his Company Contribution Account and the Plan's assets shall be distributed
   to the participants.

   ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - All administrative expenses, including trustee
   fees, related to the operation and management of the Plan are paid by Tab
   Products Co.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Company contributions are accrued annually pursuant to the terms of the
   Plan.  Dividend and interest income and distribution of benefits are
   recorded on the accrual method of accounting.

   The Plan's investments are recorded at quoted market value.  Investment
   transactions are accounted for on the trade date (i.e., the date the
   order to buy or sell is executed).

   The realized gains and losses on investments sold and the unrealized
   appreciation and depreciation of investments held are reported on an
   average current cost basis, based on the value of the investments at the
   beginning of the Plan year or at the time of purchase during the Plan
   year.
