4.   GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES

The $115 million of 9 5/8 % senior subordinated notes issued by Numatics, Inc.
in 1998 are guaranteed by the Company's United States subsidiaries in which it
owns 100 % of the voting stock. Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries has fully and
unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, the obligation to pay
principal, premium, if any, and interest and Liquidated Damages on the Notes.

The following supplemental consolidating condensed financial statements present:

1. Consolidating condensed balance sheets as of March 31, 2000 and December 31,
1999, consolidating condensed statements of operations for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and consolidating condensed statements of
cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

2. Numatics, Incorporated (the Parent), combined Guarantor Subsidiaries and
combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries (consisting of the Parent's foreign
subsidiaries).

3.  Elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent and all of its
subsidiaries.

Management does not believe that separate financial statements of the Guarantor
Subsidiaries are material to investors. Therefore, separate financial statements
and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented.

                                                                               6

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared With Three Months Ended
March 31, 1999

Net Sales. Net sales of $37.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000
were 8.0% higher than the $34.4 million in the same period of 1999. Net sales of
traditional valve products increased 0.3% or $0.1 million while net sales of
other products increased 8.7% or $0.8 million and cylinder sales increased 38.5%
or $1.9 million. North American sales increased 9.6% or $2.7 million and
international sales increased 0.5% or $0.1 million.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $14.7 million, or 39.5% of net sales, for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 compared with $12.6 million, or 36.8% of net
sales, in the same period of 1999. Increased production volumes as a result of
higher sales levels, in conjunction with continued emphasis on cost savings and
reductions, contributed to the current period's improved gross margin.

Marketing, Engineering, General and Administrative. Marketing, engineering,
general and administrative expenses were $8.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, compared to $7.8 million for the same period in 1999. This $0.7
million increase was a result of expanded marketing programs, professional fees,
and costs attributed to the implementation of a new computer system.

Operating Income. Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was
$6.0 million compared to $4.7 million in the same period in 1999. This $1.3
million increase was primarily due to the increased sales and improved gross
profit margin. Operating income in North America increased $0.8 million, or
16.7%, while the International segment's operating income increased by $0.5
million, from a loss of $0.1 million.

Interest and Other Financing Expenses. Interest expense increased $0.3 million
to $4.2 million in the first three months of 2000 from $3.9 million in 1999 as a
result of the general increase in interest rates.

Other Expense. Other expense of $0.6 million for the three months ended March
31, 2000 was attributable to unrealized foreign exchange losses, which resulted
from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against major foreign currencies,
compared to $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999.

                                                                              11

Net Income (Loss). Due to the factors discussed above, net income increased $1.0
million, to $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2000 from a
loss of $0.3 million in the first three months of 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, the Company has utilized cash from operations and borrowings under
its credit facilities to satisfy its operating and capital needs and to service
its indebtedness.

Working capital was $40.0 million at March 31, 2000 compared to $41.2 million at
December 31, 1999. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.8 million
increase in accrued expenses for accrued interest on the Company's senior
subordinated notes partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in inventories.
Total assets were $114.5 million at March 31, 2000, substantially equal to the
$114.6 million at December 31, 1999.

Total debt outstanding was $159.9 million at March 31, 2000 compared to $162.4
million at December 31, 1999. This decrease was a result of the cash generated
by operating activities and normal scheduled debt payments. The Company
estimates that borrowing base limitations would have limited the Company's
revolving credit availability to approximately $32.7 million as of March 31,
2000.
