FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Information set forth in this filing contains forward-looking statements, which

involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Thermo Electron and Fisher

Scientific caution readers that any forward-looking information is not a

guarantee of future performance and that actual results could differ materially

from those contained in the forward-looking information. Such forward-
looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the
benefits of the business combination transaction involving Thermo Electron
and Fisher Scientific, including future financial and operating results, the new
company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other
statements that are not historical facts.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from

those indicated by such forward-looking statements are set forth in Thermo

Electron's and Fisher Scientific's filings with the SEC, including their

respective Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2006.
These include risks and uncertainties relating to: the ability to obtain
regulatory approvals of the transaction on the proposed terms and schedule;
the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that

2

the cost savings and any other synergies from the transaction may not be

      fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; disruption from
the transaction making it more difficult to maintain relationships with
customers, employees or suppliers; competition and its effect on pricing,
spending, third-party relationships and revenues; the need to develop new
products and adapt to significant technological change; implementation of
strategies for improving internal growth; use and protection of intellectual
property; dependence on customers' capital spending policies and
government funding policies; realization of potential future savings from new
productivity initiatives; dependence on customers that operate in cyclical
industries; general worldwide economic conditions and related
uncertainties; the effect of changes in governmental regulations; exposure
to product liability claims in excess of insurance coverage; and the effect of
exchange rate fluctuations on international operations. The parties
undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Note:  For historical periods, all items identified as “adjusted’ as well as “free cash flow” are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in
Appendix A, which is also available on the company’s website, www.thermo.com, in the “Investors” section under “Reconciliation of Financial Information – Q1
2006.”  Adjusted items also include pro-forma stock option expense for periods through and including 2005 as if it had been required.  2006 numbers include the
effect of stock option expense.

Summary

Note: Above items include the effect of stock option expense.

Thermo delivering significant expansion of adjusted
operating margins

Continue ~150 point margin expansion per annum

Margin expansion driven by:

     - Volume leverage from organic growth

     - Price

     - Productivity initiatives

     - Acquisition integration impact
