                          September 30, 1996


Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim financial statement has been prepared in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles
on a basis which reflects the interim financial statement of
Mettler-Toledo Holding Inc. ("Holding"), which was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Delaware on July 16, 1996 for the purpose of
effecting the acquisition of the Mettler-Toledo Group from Ciba-Geigy
AG ("Ciba").  Holding is a wholly owned subsidiary of MT Investors Inc.

The consolidated balance sheet includes the accounts of Holding and its
wholly owned subsidiary, MT Acquisition Corp.  All intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Between July 16, 1996 and September 30, 1996, Holding and MT
Acquisition Corp. did not conduct any operations.

Acquisition

On April 2, 1996, MT Investors Inc. entered into a Stock Purchase
Agreement, as amended, to acquire
the business of the Mettler-Toledo Group from Ciba and its wholly owned
subsidiary, AG fur Prazisionsinstrumente.  The acquisition of the
Mettler-Toledo Group was consummated on October 15, 1996 through the
purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock of Mettler-Toledo,
Inc. and Mettler-Toledo Holding AG, which, together with their
respective subsidiaries, constituted the entire Mettler-Toledo Group.

Management Representation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statement has been
prepared by management pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflects all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion
of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
statement.

          NOTES TO THE INTERIM COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                (In thousands unless otherwise stated)

    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying interim combined financial statements have been
    prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted
    accounting principles on a basis which reflects the interim
    combined financial statements of the companies constituting the
    Mettler-Toledo Group ("Mettler-Toledo" or the "Group") assuming
    that the Group, which at September 30, 1996 was a business unit of
    Ciba-Geigy AG ("Ciba-Geigy"), was organized for all periods
    presented as a separate legal entity.  Pursuant to the terms of
    the Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 2, 1996 between MT
    Investors Inc., AG fur Prazisionsinstrumente, and Ciba-Geigy, on
    October 15, 1996 Ciba-Geigy sold to MT Acquisition Corp. all of
    the capital stock and other equity instruments in the entities
    representing the Group.
     
    Footnote disclosure which would substantially duplicate the
    disclosure contained in the December 31, 1995 Mettler-Toledo Group
    combined financial statements has not been included herein.  The
    accompanying interim combined financial statements as of September
    30, 1996 and for the nine month and three month periods ended
    September 30, 1995 and 1996 should be read in conjunction with the
    December 31, 1994 and 1995 combined financial statements and the
    notes thereto filed by Mettler-Toledo Holding Inc. and Mettler-
    Toledo, Inc. under the cover of a Form 8-K dated October 30, 1996.
    

    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Business

    The Mettler-Toledo Group is a manufacturer and marketer of
    weighing instruments for use in laboratory, industrial and food
    retailing applications.  The Group also manufactures and sells
    certain related laboratory measurement instruments. The Group's
    manufacturing facilities are located in Switzerland, the United
    States, Germany and China.
     
    Inventories

    Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.  Cost,
    which includes direct materials, labor and overhead plus indirect
    overhead, is determined using either the first in, first out
    (FIFO) or weighted average cost method.  Two Companies in the U.S.
    use the last in, first out (LIFO) cost method.
     
    Inventories consisted of the following at December 31, 1995 and
    September 30, 1996:

    NOTES TO THE INTERIM COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


     Reclassifications
     
     Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year amounts
     to conform with the 1996 presentation.
     
     Management representation
     
     The accompanying unaudited interim combined financial statements
     have been prepared by management, pursuant to the rules and
     regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect
     all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments)
     which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
     statement of the results of the interim periods presented.
     Operating results for the nine month and three month periods
     ending September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
     results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 1996.
     
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
--------------------------

The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial
condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with
the Unaudited Interim Combined Financial Statements included herein.
The "Company" as used herein means Mettler-Toledo, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, after giving effect on a pro forma basis to the
acquisition of the Mettler-Toledo Group (the "Acquisition"), which was
consummated on October 15, 1996.


General

On October 15, 1996, MT Investors Inc. ("MT Investors") through its
indirect wholly owned subsidiary, MT Acquisition Corp., acquired the
Mettler-Toledo Group from Ciba-Geigy AG ("Ciba") and its wholly owned
subsidiary, AG fur Prazisionsinstrumente.  The Acquisition of the
Mettler-Toledo Group was accomplished through the purchase of all of
the outstanding capital stock of Mettler-Toledo, Inc. and Mettler-
Toledo Holding AG, which, together with their respective subsidiaries,
constituted the entire Mettler-Toledo Group.  See "Effect of
Acquisition on Results of Operations."  MT Acquisition Corp. merged
into Mettler-Toledo, Inc. on October 15, 1996 and Mettler-Toledo, Inc.
thereby became a wholly owned subsidiary of Mettler-Toledo Holding Inc.
Mettler-Toledo Holding Inc. has no material assets, liabilities or 
operations other than those that result from its ownership of 100% of the
outstanding common stock of Mettler-Toledo, Inc.

The Company's results of operations reflect the combined operations of
the Mettler-Toledo Group of companies owned by Ciba which have been
acquired by MT Investors.  Financial information is presented in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles
("U.S. GAAP").

Results of Operations

Net sales were $624.7 million and $200.9 million for the nine and three
month periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively, compared to
$615.4 million and $208.5 million for the corresponding periods in the
prior year, an increase of 2% for the nine month period and a decrease
of 4% for the three month period.  Results were negatively impacted in
part by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies.
Net sales during the nine month period in local currencies increased
3%, primarily due to increased sales of laboratory products, while
sales of industrial and food retailing products were consistent with
prior year levels.  Net sales in local currencies for the three month
period decreased 2%, due to weak sales in Europe.

Net sales during the nine month period in Europe in local currencies
decreased 1%.  The weighing instrument market in Europe in 1996 was
depressed, especially during the third quarter.  The Company believes,
however, based upon market information available to it, that it gained
market share in a competitive market, especially in the industrial and
food retailing markets.  Net sales during the nine month period in the 
Americas in local currencies increased 2%.  Net sales in the nine month 
period in Asia and other markets in local currencies increased 11%, 
primarily as a result of the growing market economy in Asia.  Sales in 
Japan, China and Singapore were above average.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 40.1% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared to 39.6% for the
corresponding period in the prior year.  Gross profit as a percentage
of net sales increased to 39.3% for the three months ended September
30, 1996, compared to 38.7% for the corresponding period in the prior
year.  These results reflect the Company's ongoing productivity
improvements.

In total, research and development expenses, marketing and selling
expenses and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales decreased to 34.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
compared to 35.0% for the corresponding period in the prior year, as a
result of the Company's continuing efforts to control costs.  In total,
research and development expenses, marketing and selling expenses and
general and administrative expenses increased to 33.8% for the three
month period ended September 30, 1996, compared to 33.4% for the
corresponding period in the prior year, as a result of lower sales.
Income from operations was $33.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, compared to $26.6 million for the corresponding
period in the prior year.  Income from operations was $8.8 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1996, compared to $10.4 million
for the corresponding period in the prior year.  In the third quarter
of 1996, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $1.5 million to
reflect the costs associated with the closing of its Westerville, Ohio
facility.

Interest expense decreased to $12.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, compared to $13.5 million for the corresponding
period in the prior year.  Interest expense decreased to $4.2 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1996, compared to $4.8 million
for the corresponding period in the prior year.  Interest expense
following the Acquisition will be materially different.  See "Effect of
Acquisition on Results of Operations."  Net financial income decreased
to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared
to $5.1 million for the corresponding period in the prior year
principally as a result of foreign currency transactions.  Net
financial income decreased to $0.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, compared to $2.7 million for the corresponding
period in the prior year as a result of lower interest income.

Net income increased to $13.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, compared to $11.6 million for the corresponding
period in the prior year.  Net income decreased to $3.1 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1996, compared to $5.2 million for the
corresponding period in the prior year.  The 1996 figure reflects the
$1.5 million charge associated with the closing of the Westerville,
Ohio facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's cash and other liquidity has historically been used to
fund capital expenditures, working capital requirements, debt service
and dividends to Ciba.  Following the Acquisition, annual interest
expense of approximately $38.0 million associated with borrowings of
approximately $315.0 million under the Credit Agreement (as defined
below) and $135.0 million under the Company's 9 3/4% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2006 (the "Notes"), as well as scheduled principal payments
of term loans under the Credit Agreement, will significantly increase
liquidity requirements.  See "Effect of Acquisition on Results of
Operations."

The Credit Agreement entered into in connection with the Acquisition
(the "Credit Agreement") provides for term loan borrowings in an
aggregate principal amount of approximately $147.0 million and SFr
125.0 million ($99.6 million at September 30, 1996) that will mature in
2002, 2003 and 2004 and a revolving credit facility with availability
of $140.0 million of which approximately $60.0 million was drawn down
in connection with the Acquisition.  An additional $90.0 million is
available to the Company thereafter under the revolving credit facility
and local working capital facilities.  The revolving credit facility
matures in 2002 and includes letter of credit and swingline
subfacilities.  Mandatory prepayments are required to be made in
certain circumstances with the proceeds of assets sales or issuances of
capital stock or indebtedness and with certain excess cash flow.  The
Credit Agreement imposes certain restrictions on the Company and its
subsidiaries, including restrictions on the ability to incur
indebtedness, make investments, grant liens, sell financial assets and
engage in certain other activities.  The Company must also comply with
certain financial covenants.

The Notes will mature in 2006.  The Notes may be required to be
purchased by the Company upon a Change of Control (as defined) and in
certain circumstances with the proceeds of asset sales.  The Notes are
subordinated to the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement.  The
indenture governing the Notes (the "Indenture") imposes certain
restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including
restrictions on the ability to incur indebtedness, make investments,
grant liens and engage in certain other activities.

Under the Credit Agreement and the Indenture, Mettler-Toledo, Inc. is
prohibited from paying dividends to Mettler-Toledo Holding Inc.,
subject to certain limited exceptions.

The Company currently believes that cash flow from operating
activities, together with borrowings available under the Credit
Agreement and local working capital facilities, will be sufficient to
fund currently anticipated working capital needs and capital spending
requirements as well as debt service requirements for at least several
years, but there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

Effect of Currency on Results of Operations

The Company's operations are conducted by subsidiaries in many
countries, and the results of operations and the financial position of
each of those subsidiaries is reported in the relevant foreign currency
and then translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable foreign
exchange rate for inclusion in the Company's consolidated financial
statements.  Accordingly, the results of operations of such
subsidiaries as reported in U.S. dollars can vary significantly as a
result of changes in currency exchange rates.

Swiss franc-denominated costs represent a much greater percentage of
the Company's total expenses than Swiss franc-denominated sales
represent of total sales.  In general, an appreciation of the Swiss
franc has a negative impact on the Company's results of operations and
a depreciation of the Swiss franc has a positive impact on the
Company's results of operations.  The effect of these changes generally
offsets in part the effect on income from operations of changes in
exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies described
in the preceding paragraph.  If the prior periods' currency exchange
rates had remained in effect, income from operations would have been
$0.6 million lower in the first nine months of 1996 and $0.8 million
lower in the three month period ended September 30, 1996.

Effect of Acquisition on Results of Operations

As a result of the Acquisition, the Company has, in accordance with
U.S. GAAP relating to purchase accounting rules, adjusted to fair value
the Company`s assets and liabilities which, on a pro forma basis, would
have resulted in increased amortization estimated to be $2.4 million
for the first nine months of 1996.  In addition, as part of the
Acquisition, the Company has incurred additional debt, which would have
resulted in a net increase in interest expense, including amortization
of debt issuance costs and other fees, in the amount of $15.0 million
for the first nine months of 1996, on a pro forma basis.  The Company
estimates that it will incur approximately $2.3 million annually in
additional general and administrative expenses as a result of being an
independent company, including an annual management fee of $1.0 million
to be paid to AEA Investors Inc.  The Acquisition would have resulted
in a decrease in the Company's provision for income taxes of $6.0
million for the first nine months of 1996, on a pro forma basis.  As a
result of the above adjustments, on a pro forma basis, the Company
would have reported a net loss of $1.3 million for the first nine
months of 1996, as compared to its historical net income of $13.1
million.  See Part II, Item 5 for an unaudited pro forma statement of
operations.

In addition, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has allocated a
portion of the purchase price to in-process research and development
projects that have economic value and to inventories.  Approximately
$120.0 million has been allocated to in-process research and
development and has been charged to expense in the fourth quarter of
1996.  Approximately $21.0 million has been allocated to the
revaluation of inventories and will be charged to cost of sales over
the period in which the inventories are sold, which is expected to be
in the fourth quarter of 1996.  These charges are not reflected in the
above table due to their unusual, non-recurring nature.
