	THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and
entered into by and among LINDA V. MASANO, an individual resident
of Arizona ("L. Masano"), THOMAS MICHAEL MASANO, an individual
resident of Arizona ("T. Masano") (individually the "Seller" and
collectively the "Sellers"), and MESA LABORATORIES, INC., a
Colorado corporation having its principal place of business in
Lakewood, Colorado (the "Purchaser") effective as of the latest
date set forth opposite the signature of the parties on the
signature page hereto (the "Effective Date").
	RECITALS
	WHEREAS, Sellers own an aggregate of two thousand (2,000)
shares of common stock, no par value, of Automata
Instrumentation, Inc., an Arizona corporation ("Automata" or the
"Company"), representing all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Automata (the "Shares"); and
	WHEREAS, Sellers desire to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser
desires to purchase from Sellers, all of the Shares upon the
terms and conditions set forth herein;
	AGREEMENT
	NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises
and the respective representations, warranties, covenants,
agreements and conditions hereinafter set forth, and intending to
be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
	ARTICLE 1
	PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE SHARES
	1.1	Purchase and Sale of the Shares.  Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions hereof, at the Closing (as hereinafter
defined), each Seller will sell, convey, assign, transfer, and
deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser will purchase from that
Seller, that number of the Shares set opposite the name of Seller
below, which Shares in the aggregate represent all of the issued
and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company:
							  Number of
	Name of Seller				Shares Owned

	Linda V. Masano					1,020

	Thomas Michael Masano			    980

	Total							2,000

	1.2	Disclosure Schedule.  Within five (5) business days
after the Effective Date, Sellers and the Company shall prepare
and deliver a disclosure schedule to Purchaser.  The disclosure
schedule shall be in the form of Exhibit "A" attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference (the "Disclosure Schedule")
and shall consist of such exhibits thereto as are referenced in
this Agreement or in the Disclosure Schedule.  If Sellers and the
Company either fail to deliver the Disclosure Schedule to
Purchaser as provided in this Section 1.2 or if the assets and
liabilities disclosed in such Disclosure Schedule are materially
and adversely different than those enumerated on the unaudited
financial statements of the Company as of October 31, 1999
(together with updated schedules as of October 31, 1999 of all
1999 year-to-date information contained in the "Sales/Profits"
section of the Automata Brochure No. 5 (as hereinafter defined),
collectively the "October 31, 1999 Financial Statements")
previously furnished to Purchaser, or if the exceptions or
qualifications set forth in the Disclosure Schedule materially
alter or limit the representations and warranties of Sellers set
forth in Section 2.1 hereof, Purchaser may upon written notice to
Sellers terminate this Agreement whereupon neither Sellers nor
Purchaser shall have any further obligation or liability to the
other hereunder except as otherwise provided in Section 1.10(c)
and Section 3.4 hereof.  In the event Purchaser fails to give
Sellers written notice of any objections Purchaser may have to
such Disclosure Schedule within ten (10) business days after its
receipt of the Disclosure Schedule, or by Closing if earlier,
Purchaser's right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section shall be deemed to have been waived for all purposes.
	1.3	Definition of Assets.  As used herein, the term
"Assets" shall mean all assets of the Company whether such assets
are real, personal or mixed, tangible and intangible, of every
kind, nature and description wherever situated, including,
without limitation, all of the assets set forth on the October
31, 1999 Financial Statements previously furnished to Purchaser,
subject only to changes in such assets occurring in the ordinary
course of business or as contemplated by this Agreement.
	1.4	Known Liabilities.  Purchaser will assume and will
discharge or otherwise be liable for all Known Liabilities (as
such term is hereinafter defined), and all of the Shares
purchased and the Assets shall be subject to all such Known
Liabilities.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Known
Liabilities" shall mean the debts, liabilities, or obligations of
the Company which were recorded or reflected on either the
October 31, 1999 Financial Statements or the Disclosure Schedule.
 Known Liabilities specifically exclude any Taxes (as hereinafter
defined) due and any other tax consequences or liabilities
created by virtue of the bonuses by the Company to Sellers as set
forth on the Disclosure Schedule, all of which liabilities are
and shall remain solely the responsibility of Sellers other than
the payment by the Company of the Medicare 1.45% tax.
	1.5	Purchase Price.  The aggregate purchase price (the
"Purchase Price") to be paid by Purchaser to Sellers for all of
the Shares and Sellers' covenants not to compete as set forth in
the Noncompetition Agreements referred to in Section 4.1(j)
hereof shall be an amount equal to FOUR MILLION ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($4,100,000.00) and ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND (100,000) unregistered shares of the common stock of the
Purchaser (the "Mesa Stock").
	1.6	Allocation of Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price shall
be apportioned between the Shares and the covenants not to
compete of Sellers and allocated to Sellers as follows:
					Linda V. Masano	  Thomas Michael Masano
	Shares				$1,989,000		$1,911,000

	Covenant Not to Compete	$  100,000		$  100,000

		Total				$2,089,000		$2,011,000


	1.7	Payment of Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price shall be
paid by Purchaser to Sellers in the following manner: an
aggregate of $3,700,000 in cash or cleared funds and an aggregate
of 100,000 unregistered shares of Mesa Stock at Closing.  The
remaining $400,000 shall be placed by Purchaser in an interest-
bearing custody account with Sellers at Wells Fargo Bank in the
form of Exhibit "L" annexed hereto for a period of six (6) months
from the Closing to reimburse Purchaser for any liabilities other
than the Known Liabilities of Automata incurred by Purchaser in
connection with the Agreement (the "Reserve Account").
	1.8	Adjustment of Purchase Price.  Subject to the
limitation set forth in the last sentence of Section 7.1, in the
event there are any undisclosed liabilities discovered within six
months after the Closing and not included on the October 31, 1999
Financial Statements or the Disclosure Schedule, then the amount
of any such liability that may at any time be paid by Purchaser
after the Closing Date shall be deducted from the Reserve Account
and paid to Purchaser on a dollar for dollar basis.
	1.9	Brokerage Fees.  Purchaser shall pay the broker fees of
Enterprise Investments, Inc. and Sellers shall pay the consulting
fees of McIntyre Investment Company.  Further, Sellers and
Purchaser shall each pay any other brokerage fees, consulting
fees or finder fees due, or allegedly due, in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement which were incurred
by such party.  Sellers and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold
harmless the other party from and against all loss, cost, damage
or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of
claims for fees or commissions of brokers or agents employed or
alleged to have been employed by such indemnifying party in
connection with the transactions covered by this Agreement
insofar as such claims shall be based upon alleged arrangements
or agreements made by the indemnifying party or on the
indemnifying party's behalf.  Such indemnities shall survive the
Closing or any termination of the Agreement and shall not be
merged therein.
	1.10	Cost of Transaction.  Whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the parties agree as
follows:
		(a)	Sellers will pay the fees, expenses and
disbursements of Sellers and Sellers' agents,
representatives, accountants, and counsel incurred in
connection with the subject matter hereof and any amendments
hereto.
		(b)	Purchaser shall pay the fees, expenses and
disbursements of Purchaser and its agents, representatives,
accountants and counsel incurred in connection with the
subject matter hereof and any amendments hereto.
		(c)	In the event that any party elects unreasonably
and without good cause to withdraw from and not consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or commits
any act of intentional misrepresentation or fraud prior to
the Closing, such party agrees to pay the other party,
within ten (10) days of such election or discovery of such
act, an amount equal to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000).
However, all parties waive any claims for damages of any
other type in the event of failure to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
	ARTICLE 2
	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
	2.1	Sellers' Representations and Warranties.  As a material
inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and perform
its obligations hereunder, each Seller hereby severally
represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows:
		(a)	Organization and Good Standing of the Company.
The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Arizona, and the Company has the requisite power and
authority to own, operate and lease its properties and to
carry on its business as now being conducted.  The Company
does not have any subsidiaries.
		(b)	Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.  True,
accurate and complete copies of the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, as amended to date
and certified by the Secretary of the Company are attached
hereto as Exhibits "B" and "C", respectively, and
incorporated herein by this reference thereto.
		(c)	Corporate Minutes.  The corporate minute book(s),
stock certificate book(s), stock register(s) and other
similar corporate records of the Company are correct and
complete in all respects and completely and accurately
reflect all proceedings of the shareholders and directors of
the Company required by applicable law to be reflected
therein, and the signatures appearing on all documents
contained therein are the true signatures of the persons
purporting to have signed the same.  All actions reflected
in said books and records are duly and validly taken in
compliance with the laws of the applicable jurisdictions in
effect at the time of the transaction.  The stock record
books of the Company contain complete and accurate records
of the stock ownership of the Company and the transfer of
shares of its capital stock.
		(d)	Capitalization.  The authorized capital stock of
the Company consists of one million (1,000,000) shares of
common stock, no par value, of which two thousand (2,000)
shares will be issued and outstanding as of the Closing.
There are no other classes or series of capital stock of the
Company authorized.  All issued and outstanding shares of
the Company as of the Closing will be duly authorized and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.  There are no
subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights, contracts,
commitments, understandings, restrictions (other than
restrictions imposed upon the transfer of unregistered
securities by applicable securities law) or arrangements of
any kind relating to the issuance, sale or transfer of any
of the shares of the Company, including any rights of
purchase, conversion or exchange under any outstanding
securities or other instruments.  There are no voting trusts
or other agreements or understandings of any kind relating
to the capital stock of the Company and no shareholder of
the Company or any other person is entitled to registration
or preemptive or dissenters' rights with respect to the
shares of the Company.  The Company is not under any
obligation (arising under the Articles of Incorporation, by
agreement or otherwise) to redeem, retire or repurchase any
Shares or other securities of the Company.
		(e)	Clear Title to Shares.  Seller is, and at the time
of Closing will be, the sole and exclusive record and
beneficial owner of that portion of the Shares set forth
opposite Seller's name in Section 1.1 hereof and the Shares
will be sold, transferred, assigned and conveyed to
Purchaser, free and clear of all liens, claims, charges,
rights of setoff and other encumbrances and restrictions of
any kind or nature (other than restrictions imposed upon the
transfer of unregistered securities by applicable securities
law) and Seller has the full power, authority and capacity
to transfer and deliver that portion of the Shares owned by
such Seller pursuant to this Agreement.  Upon delivery to
Purchaser of the certificate or certificates evidencing the
Shares as contemplated by this Agreement, Seller shall have
transferred to Purchaser valid and marketable title to that
portion of the Shares owned by Seller, including without
limitation all voting and other rights to such portion of
the Shares, free and clear of all liens, claims, charges,
rights of setoff and other encumbrances and restrictions of
any kind or nature whatsoever (other than restrictions
imposed upon the transfer of unregistered securities by
applicable securities law).
		(f)	Authorization.  Seller is over twenty-one (21)
years of age and has the requisite authority and capacity to
execute, and comply with the terms of, this Agreement and to
perform Seller's obligations under this Agreement.  Further,
the Board of Directors of the Company has duly approved and
authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the
Company are necessary to approve and to authorize the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby.  Assuming that this
Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of
Purchaser, this Agreement and all agreements executed and
delivered by Sellers hereunder constitute the valid and
binding agreement of Sellers enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms, except as the enforceability hereof
or thereof may be subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally and to general principles of
equity.
		(g)	Consents and Approvals.  Neither the execution and
delivery by Sellers of this Agreement nor the consummation
by Sellers of the transactions contemplated hereby will
conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of the
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company.  No
consent, authorization or approval of, or declaration,
filing or registration with, any governmental or regulatory
authority, or any other person or entity is necessary by
Sellers in order to enable Sellers to enter into and perform
their obligations under this Agreement.
		(h)	No Violations.  Except as disclosed in the
Disclosure Schedule, to the best of Sellers' actual
knowledge, the Company is not in violation of and has not
received any actual notice of violation of any applicable
law, statute, order, rule, regulation, or directive of any
governmental or self-regulatory authority or judgment,
decree, or award entered by any federal, state, local or
foreign court or governmental authority or arbitrator or
arbitration panel relating to the Company or Sellers which,
either singly or in the aggregate, would have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations or financial
condition of the Company or materially impair the ability of
the Company or Sellers to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.  Neither the execution and delivery of
this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will (or with the passage of time or the
giving of notice will):
			(1)	Be in violation of the Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws or other organizational
documents of the Company;
			(2)	Result in the creation or imposition of any
security interest, lien, charge or other encumbrance
upon any property or assets of the Company or upon the
Shares under any agreement to which Sellers or the
Company are bound;
			(3)	Accelerate, or constitute an event entitling,
or which would with notice or lapse of time or both
entitle, the holder of any material indebtedness of the
Company for borrowed money to accelerate, the maturity
of any such indebtedness;
			(4)	Cause a default under any material mortgage
or deed of trust to which any property of the Company
is subject;
			(5)	Conflict with or result in the breach of any
writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental
instrumentality by which the Company or Seller is
bound; or
			(6)	Conflict with or result in a violation or
breach of, or constitute a default under, or give to
any person or entity any right of termination,
cancellation, acceleration, or modification in or with
respect to, any contract to which the Company or Seller
is a party or by which any of the assets or properties
of the Company or Seller may be bound, and as to which
any such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults, or
rights individually or in the aggregate have or may
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement or on the ability of Sellers to perform
Sellers' obligations under this Agreement.
		(i)	Financial Statements.  The October 31, 1999
Financial Statements are in accordance with the books and
records of the Company, correctly reflect valid transactions
and present fairly the financial position and the results of
operations of the Company as of the respective dates and for
the respective fiscal periods set forth therein on an
accrual basis.
		(j)	Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities.  Except as,
and to the extent reflected or disclosed (or adequately
reserved for or against) in the October 31, 1999 Financial
Statements, or except as specifically provided by this
Agreement, the Company does not have any liabilities or
obligations of any nature, whether known or unknown,
contingent or absolute, required by generally accepted
accounting principles to be reflected on the October 31,
1999 Financial Statements, except for contractual
liabilities or obligations which were incurred in the

other basis, and such term shall include but not be
limited to any income, franchise, sales tax, ad valorem
property tax, and payroll tax and any interest and
penalties or additions to tax; and (ii) the term "Tax

otherwise made available to a taxing authority in
connection with Taxes.

proper governmental authorities amounts required to be
so withheld and paid over for all periods under all
applicable laws.  The Company has paid or reserved for
payment all Taxes due and payable as of the Effective
Date, and will pay or fund a reserve for payment of all
Taxes due as of the Closing Date.  The amounts set up
as funded reserves for the payment of any unpaid Taxes
are an adequate reserve for such Taxes under tax
accrual accounting principles.

proposed or assessed against the Company or its assets
which have not been paid in full (including any

under the Lease is outstanding.  No termination event
or condition or uncured material default on the part of
the Company, or to Sellers' knowledge, on the part of
the Landlord exists under the Lease, and no event has
occurred and no condition exists, and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will
not create or result in an event or condition, which,
with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both,
would constitute such a material default or termination
event or condition.
			(3)	The Company does not own and does not have
any interest in real property other than as tenant
under the Lease, and the Company in the past ten (10)
years did not own or have any ownership in or to any

the Company is not in default under any of them, nor
does any condition exist that with notice or lapse of

Company, except where such default is not material with
respect to such contract or agreement and would not

termination, cancellation or modification of such
contract or agreement.  To the knowledge of Sellers, no
other party to any such contract or other agreement is
in material default thereunder.
			(p)	Title to Properties.  Except as disclosed in

or other similar relief against the Aggrieved Party or there
is a conflict of interest between it and the Indemnifying
Party in the conduct of the defense of such action.  Failure
by the Indemnifying Party to notify the Aggrieved Party of
its election to defend any such proceeding or action within
a reasonable time, but in no event more than thirty (30)
days after written notice thereof shall have been given to
the Indemnifying Party, shall be deemed a waiver by the
Indemnifying Party of its right to defend such action.
		(b)	Defense of Claim by Indemnifying Party.  If the
Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or
litigation resulting therefrom with counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Aggrieved Party, the obligations of the
Indemnifying Party as to such claim shall be limited to
taking all steps necessary in the defense or settlement of
such claim or litigation resulting therefrom and to holding
the Aggrieved Party harmless from and against any losses,
damages and liabilities caused by or arising out of any
settlement or any judgment in connection with such claim or
litigation resulting therefrom.  The Aggrieved Party may
participate, at its expense, in the defense of such claim or
litigation provided that the Indemnifying Party shall direct
and control the defense of such claim or litigation.  The
Aggrieved Party shall cooperate and make available all books
and records reasonably necessary and useful in connection
with the defense.  The Indemnifying Party shall not, in the
defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom,
consent to entry of any judgment, except with the written
consent of the Aggrieved Party, or enter into any
settlement, except with the written consent of the Aggrieved
Party.
		(c)	Defense of Claim by Aggrieved Party.  If the
Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense of any such
claim or litigation resulting therefrom, the Aggrieved Party
may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner
as it may deem appropriate and reasonably satisfactory to
the Aggrieved Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall promptly
reimburse the Aggrieved Party for the amount of all
reasonable expenses, legal or otherwise, as incurred by the
Aggrieved Party in connection with the defense against or
settlement of such claim or litigation.  No settlement of
claim or litigation shall be made without the consent of the
Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.  If no settlement of the claim or litigation is
made, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the
Aggrieved Party for the amount of any judgment rendered with
respect to such claim or in such litigation and of all
expenses, legal or otherwise, as incurred by the Aggrieved
Party in the defense against such claim or litigation.
