Item 2.    Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

      On July 5, 1998, Metrika Systems Corporation (the "Company") acquired all
of the outstanding capital stock (the "Stock") of Honeywell-Measurex Data
Measurement Corporation ("DMC") from Honeywell-Measurex Corporation for
approximately $29,000,000 in cash (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price is
subject to a post-closing adjustment equal to the amount by which DMC?s
shareholders equity as of the closing, as adjusted pursuant to the Agreement, is
greater than or less than, as the case may be, certain target amounts set forth
in the Agreement.

      The acquisition was made pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as
of May 6, 1998 (the "Agreement"), by and between the Company and
Honeywell-Measurex Corporation. The Purchase Price was funded entirely from cash
on hand. DMC, based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, manufactures and sells
computerized non-contact thickness, coating and other measurement systems for
use in flat-metal processing industries, including steel, aluminum, tin, copper,
brass and other rolled products (the "DMC Business").

      The consideration paid for the DMC Business was based primarily on the
Company?s determination of the fair market value of the DMC Business, and the
terms of the Agreement were determined by arms-length negotiation among the
parties.


      The Company has no present intention to use the assets of the DMC Business
for purposes materially different from the purposes for which such assets were
used prior to the acquisition. However, the Company will review the DMC Business
and its assets, corporate structure, capitalization, operations, properties, and
policies, and, upon completion of this review, may develop alternative plans or
proposals, including mergers, transfers of a material amount of assets or other
transactions or changes relating to such business.
