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 MT Acquisition Corp., 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").

Between July 16, 1996 and September 30, 1996, 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.

Subsequent Event

On October 15, 1996, MT Acquisition Corp. was merged with Mettler-
Toledo, Inc., with Mettler-Toledo, Inc. being the surviving
corporation.

        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.
