     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


 1.         The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been
            prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
            include all of the information and note disclosures required by
            generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be
            read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
            for the year ended June 30, 1995 included in the Company's Form 10-K
            for the year ended June 30, 1995. The accompanying financial
            statements have not been audited by independent accountants in
            accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, but in the
            opinion of management such financial statements include all
            adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
            necessary to summarize fairly the Company's financial position and
            results of operations.

 2.         On October 11, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a
            two-for-one stock split to be effected in the form of a stock
            dividend. One additional share of common stock was distributed on
            November 14, 1995 for each share of common stock of the Company held
            by shareholders of record on October 30, 1995. The Company
            transferred $38.2 million from the capital in excess of par value
            account to the common stock account on the effective date of the
            split. Earnings per share, common equivalent shares and cash
            dividends per share have been restated to reflect the stock split.

   
 3.         On December 29, 1995, the Company sold certain assets, including
            trademarks and patents, of the Curad and Futuro consumer healthcare
            products business owned by its Kendall subsidiary. Under the
            agreements, Kendall will continue to manufacture certain Curad and
            Futuro products for the buyer under long-term supply agreements. The
            Company received net cash proceeds of $49.8 million for the sale of
            the brand names and certain domestic assets. The Company will
            continue to receive other payments, including non-compete payments,
            through fiscal 2001. The Company has also granted to the buyer
            options to acquire certain additional trademarks, patents and other
            international assets. The gain on the sale was not material to the
            Company's results of operations.
    

4.          On January 19, 1996, the Company acquired The Earth Technology
            Corporation ("Earth Tech"), an environmental engineering and
            water/waste water management company. On February 1, 1996, the
            Company acquired Professional Medical Products, Inc. ("ProMed"), a
            manufacturer of disposable medical products. These purchases were
            made utilizing cash on hand as well as borrowings under the
            Company's uncommitted lines of credit. The acquisitions, which have
            a combined purchase price of approximately $206 million, have been
            accounted for as purchases, with their results of operations
            consolidated with the Company's from their respective acquisition
            dates.

            Under the Company's credit agreement with a group of commercial
            banks, the Company has the right to borrow $300 million or a portion
            thereof until October 1999 for its general corporate purposes. The
            principal amount then outstanding will be due and payable at that
            time. Interest payable on borrowings is variable based upon the
            Company's option of selecting a Eurodollar rate plus 0.325%, a
            certificate of deposit rate plus 0.45% or a base rate, as defined.

            The Company's uncommitted lines of credit are arrangements which
            allow the Company to borrow from commercial banks on an "as offered"
            basis. The borrowings and repayments occur daily and contain no
            specific terms other than due dates and interest rates. The due
            dates generally range from overnight to 90 days and interest rates
            approximate those available under the credit agreement.

   
            In connection with the refinancing of certain of its Kendall
            subsidiary's notes, the Company recorded a charge of $4.3 million
            ($2.6 million after tax), representing unamortized debt issuance
            fees and a call premium, as an extraordinary loss for the Company's
            quarter ended December 31, 1994.
    

            Under its various loan agreements, the Company is required to meet
            certain covenants, none of which is considered restrictive to the
            operations of the Company.

 6.         The Company has an agreement under which it sells participating
            interests in a defined pool of trade accounts receivable. The
            maximum permitted under the agreement was $225 million in fiscal
            1996 and $150 million in fiscal 1995. The proceeds of sale are less
            than the face amount of accounts receivable sold by an amount which
            approximates the purchaser's financing cost of issuing its own
            commercial paper backed by these accounts receivable. The discount
            from the face amount was $2.8 million and $2.2 million during the
            third quarter of fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively, and $9.5
            million and $5.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1996
            and 1995, respectively, and has been included in selling, general
            and administrative expense in the Company's Consolidated Statement
            of Income.

9           In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract
            completion and product performance. In addition, the Company is in
            receipt of notifications from various environmental agencies that
            conditions at a number of sites where hazardous wastes of the
            Company and other persons were disposed of may require cleanup and
            other possible remedial action. In the opinion of management, these
            obligations will not materially affect the Company's financial
            position or results of operations.

             ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS

OVERVIEW

   
For the first nine months of fiscal 1996, net income before extraordinary item
was $215.9 million, or $1.41 per share, compared with $145.0 million, or $.96
per share, for the first nine months of fiscal 1995. Excluding the $31.2
million, or $.21 per share, after tax charge for merger and transaction related
costs related to the Kendall transaction in fiscal 1995, net income before
extraordinary item rose 23%. The increase was attributable to strong earnings
improvements in each of the Company's business segments.
    


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 1996 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 1995:

   
Sales increased 11% during the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to $1.26 billion
from $1.14 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 1995. Sales of the Disposable
and Specialty Products group were flat due principally to decreased sales as a
result of Kendall's sale of Futuro in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 as well
as decreased sales at Armin resulting from lower resin prices. These decreases
were somewhat offset by inclusion of the sales of ProMed, which was acquired by
Kendall during the third quarter of fiscal 1996. Sales of the Fire Protection
group increased $77.8 million to $497.2 million, or 19%, due to increased sales
in the Company's contracting businesses in each geographic region, as well as
sales resulting from the Company's acquisition of Earth Tech in the third
quarter of fiscal 1996. Sales of the Flow Control group increased $26.1 million
to $276.2 million, or 10%, principally reflecting increased volume at Grinnell's
distribution operations and at Allied's pipe and tube business, including
businesses acquired in the second half of fiscal 1995. Sales of the Electrical
and Electronic Components group increased $19.2 million to $126.5 million, or
18%, resulting from increased sales of underwater communications cable systems
at Simplex as well as higher sales at the printed circuit businesses and at
Allied's electrical conduit operations.

For the third quarter of fiscal 1996 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal
1995, operating profits of the Disposable and Specialty Products group increased
$6.0 million to $75.4 million, or 9%, due primarily to higher earnings at
Kendall partially offset by decreased earnings at Armin where profits continue
to be adversely affected by changes in raw material costs. Operating profits of
the Fire Protection group increased $11.5 million to $33.2 million, or 53%, due
to higher margins in North America and Europe contracting, as well as the
inclusion of earnings from Earth Tech, which was acquired during the third
quarter of fiscal 1996. Operating profits of the Flow Control group increased
$5.8 million to $28.4 million, or 26%, due to increased earnings at Allied's
pipe and tube business, including the results of businesses acquired in the
second half of fiscal 1995, as well as at Mueller and at Grinnell's distribution
operations in both the U.S. and Europe. Operating profits of the Electrical and
Electronic Components group increased $5.1 million to $24.3 million, or 26%, due
principally to higher earnings at Simplex, at the printed circuit businesses and
at Allied's electrical conduit operations.
    

The impact on the consolidated sales and results of operations from changes in
foreign exchange rates relative to the value of the U.S. dollar for the third
quarter of fiscal 1996 as compared to the same period of fiscal 1995 was not
material.

Interest expense increased slightly during the third quarter of fiscal 1996 from
the third quarter of fiscal 1995 due principally to higher average debt
balances, offset partially by slightly lower interest rates.

                                               10

<PAGE>


FIRST NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL 1996 COMPARED WITH FIRST NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL 1995:

   
Sales increased 13% during the first nine months of fiscal 1996 to $3.72 billion
from $3.29 billion during the first nine months of fiscal 1995. Sales of the
Disposable and Specialty Products group increased $39.0 million to $1.06
billion, or 4%. Increased sales principally at Kendall and, to a lesser extent,
at Ludlow were partially offset by decreased sales at Armin and by Kendall's
sale of Futuro in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Kendall's sales include the
sales of ProMed, which was acquired during the third quarter of fiscal 1996.
Sales of the Fire Protection group increased $230.7 million to $1.45 billion, or
19%, due to increased sales in the contracting business in each geographic
region, as well as sales resulting from the acquisition of Earth Tech in the
third quarter of fiscal 1996. Sales of the Flow Control group increased $109.3
million to $840.4 million, or 15%, reflecting higher volume at Allied, including
businesses acquired in the second half of fiscal 1995, as well as from
Grinnell's distribution operations. Sales of the Electrical and Electronic
Components group increased $51.7 million to $364.7 million, or 17%, resulting
principally from higher sales of underwater communications cable systems at
Simplex as well as at the printed circuit businesses and at Allied's electrical
conduit operations.

For the first nine months of fiscal 1996 as compared to the first nine months of
fiscal 1995, operating profits of the Disposable and Specialty Products group
increased $14.8 million to $205.6 million, or 8%, reflecting higher earnings at
Kendall and Ludlow partially offset by decreased earnings at Armin where profits
were adversely affected by changes in raw material costs. Operating profits of
the Fire Protection group rose $29.6 million to $90.6 million, or 49%, due
principally to higher margins at fire protection operations in each geographic
region, as well as inclusion of earnings from Earth Tech, which was acquired
during the third quarter of fiscal 1996. The operating profits of the Flow
Control group increased $18.1 million to $80.2 million, or 29%, resulting
principally from increased earnings at Allied and Mueller as well as at
Grinnell's European distribution operations. Operating profits of the Electrical
and Electronic Components group increased $11.3 million to $67.1 million, or
20%, due to increased earnings at Simplex, the printed circuit businesses and at
Allied's electrical conduit operations.
    

The impact on the consolidated sales and results of operations from changes in
foreign exchange rates relative to the value of the U.S. dollar for the first
nine months of fiscal 1996 as compared to the same period of fiscal 1995 was not
material.

Interest expense decreased slightly to $46.6 million during the first nine
months of fiscal 1996 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1995 due
principally to lower interest rates offset by higher average debt balances.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, net cash provided by
operating activities was $226.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal
1996. The significant changes in working capital accounts were an increase of
$62.0 million in accounts receivable and contracts in process, an increase of
$27.1 million in inventory and a $77.9 million decrease in accounts payable and
accrued expenses. Net changes in other working capital accounts were not
significant during the period.

                                               11



<PAGE>


   
During the first nine months of fiscal 1996, the Company used cash to (i)
acquire a U.S. and a German disposable and specialty products company, a U.S.
fire protection company, two European flow control companies, two U.S. flow
control companies and an environmental engineering and water/waste water
management company for an aggregate of $245.3 million; (ii) purchase $90.2
million of property and equipment; (iii) pay dividends of $22.9 million and (iv)
reacquire shares for $6.9 million. The Company received cash of $49.8 million
from the sale of certain brand names and domestic assets of the Curad and Futuro
consumer healthcare products business.
    

At March 31, 1996 the Company's total debt was $702.5 million as compared to
$590.8 million at June 30, 1995. The Company utilized borrowings under its
uncommitted lines of credit to partially finance its acquisitions of Earth Tech
and ProMed.

   
Shareholders' equity was $1.83 billion or $12.01 per share at March 31, 1996
compared to $1.63 billion or $10.70 per share (after giving effect to the stock
split) at June 30, 1995. The increase is due primarily to fiscal 1996 net
income. Total debt as a percent of total capitalization (total debt and
shareholders' equity) was 28% at March 31, 1996 and 27% at June 30, 1995.
    

Working capital requirements for the remainder of fiscal 1996 are not expected
to significantly exceed fiscal 1995 levels. The level of capital expenditures
may increase slightly in fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995 and the source
of funds for such expenditures is expected to be cash from operations.

The Company believes that its funding sources are adequate for its anticipated
capital and operating requirements through expected cash flows from operations
and established financing arrangements.


BACKLOG

   
The backlog of unfilled orders was approximately $1.19 billion at March 31, 1996
and $1.05 billion at June 30, 1995. Backlog increases in the Fire Protection,
Flow Control and Disposable and Specialty Products segments were partially
offset by decreased backlog at Simplex, where backlog is affected by timing of
deliveries on contracts for underwater communication cable systems.
