                           SUN HYDRAULICS CORPORATION
                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      (IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

1. INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements 
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements are not included herein. The financial statements are
prepared on a consistent basis (including normal recurring adjustments) with and
should be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements and related
notes contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996, filed by Sun Hydraulics Corporation (the "Company") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 1997.



2. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

         The consolidated financial statements of the Company consist of the
financial position and results of operations of Sun Hydraulics Corporation ("Sun
Hydraulics") and Sun Hydraulik Holdings Limited ("Sun Holdings"). In January
1997, Sun Hydraulics effected a 9 for 1 stock split and issued 374,811 shares of
common stock and made a nominal cash payment in exchange for all of the issued
and outstanding stock of Sun Holdings. Accordingly, financial statements for
1997 are on a consolidated basis, and financial statements for 1996 are on a
combined basis.

         The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission effective January 9, 1997, and issued
2,300,000 shares of common stock in an initial public offering ("IPO"), with an
initial offering price of $9.50. The IPO net proceeds of $19.3 million, the
exchange of shares with Sun Holdings, and the distribution of previously taxed S
Corporation retained earnings are reflected in the Statement of Changes in
Shareholders' Equity.

         The $19.3 million of net proceeds from the IPO were used as follows: a
payment of $9.5 million of the S Corporation distribution was made, representing
90% of the total distribution of $10.6 million, $7.7 million was paid to
extinguish debt, and $2.1 million was retained as working capital.

         The Company has 20,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value
$0.001, with 6,310,002 shares outstanding. The Company also has 2,000,000
authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001, with no shares
outstanding.

3. PRO FORMA NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Pro forma net income reflects a provision for income taxes as if Sun
Hydraulics had been a C Corporation for all periods presented.

         The computation of pro forma earnings per share is based on the pro
forma weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period
plus vested common stock equivalents, if dilutive, consisting of certain shares
subject to stock options, after giving effect to the initial public offering
(See Note 2). The assumed exercise of dilutive stock options less the number of
treasury shares assumed to be purchased from the proceeds were calculated using
the average market price for the period ended June 30, 1997.

         During the first quarter of 1997, Statement on Financial Accounting
Standards NO. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings per Share", was issued. SFAS 128
will be effective for the year ending December 31, 1997 and will require a
restatement of previously reported earnings per share. Under SFAS 128, basic
and diluted earnings per share are not expected to be significantly different
from primary and fully diluted earnings per share, respectively, as calculated 
by the Company.

         In February 1997, the Company negotiated a one year, unsecured
revolving credit facility. The agreement provides for a maximum availability of
$10.0 million, payable on demand at the lender's prime rate of interest. At June
30, 1997, $2.1 million was outstanding under this credit facility.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

         The Company is a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance,
screw-in hydraulic cartridge valves and manifolds which control force, speed and
motion as integral components in fluid power systems. The Company sells its
products globally through independent distributors.

         The production capacity expansion for the United States manufacturing
operations which began in March 1997 was completed during the quarter. Manifold
production has been relocated to the Company's new Sarasota, Florida, facility.
The original Sarasota plant has been reconfigured to take advantage of the
increased floor capacity for the production of cartridge valves and to establish
cellular production for high volume products. Management believes that the
Company now has the production capability to increase net sales levels during
the second half of the year.

         Net sales were $15.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, a
6.5% increase over the first quarter of 1997. Demand during the quarter
continued at approximately the same level as the prior quarter, exceeding $18.0
million. The increase in backlog necessitated increased delivery lead times.

         Management believes that recent production rates will be reflected in
increased sales for the remainder of the year; however, the incremental
costs of maximizing shipments to customers will continue to have a negative
impact on gross profit as a percentage of sales.

         Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, did not increase
proportionately to sales and remained at the first quarter level of
approximately $1.0 million. The disruption and costs associated with the
production expansion and reconfiguration were exacerbated by the increased
costs of expediting and rescheduling. In addition, the implementation of
manufacturing systems in the new manifold plant and the hiring and training of
new personnel adversely affected the rate of production increase at both U.S.
facilities.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

         Net sales increased 10.4%, or $1.4 million, to $15.3 million in the
three month period ended June 30, 1997, compared to $13.8 million in the three
month period ended June 30, 1996. Domestic net sales increased 2.3%, or $0.3
million to $9.7 million. Domestic shipments were restricted by reduced manifold
production in the United States due to the move to the new plant. International
net sales increased 28.0%, or $1.2 million to $5.6 million, reflecting a
significant increase in production at the manufacturing plant in Coventry,
England. European net sales increased $0.9 million or 31.6% to $3.7 million.
Canada, Mexico and South American net sales increased $0.1 million to $0.8
million with Japan and Pacific Rim sales increasing $0.2 million to 
$1.1 million.


                                       10
<PAGE>   11
         Gross Profit increased 2.7% or $0.1 million to $4.8 million in the
three month period ended June 30, 1997, compared to $4.7 million in the three
month period ended June 30, 1996. This increase primarily was related to the
increase in net sales. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to
31.6% in the three month period ended June 30, 1997, from 34.0% for the three
month period ended June 30, 1996. The decrease in the percentage of gross profit
to net sales was due to increased manufacturing overhead costs related to the
new facilities in the United States and Germany and production inefficiencies
and start-up costs in the new manifold plant in the United States.

         Selling, engineering and administrative expenses decreased 2.7% or $0.1
million to $2.8 million in the three month period ended June 30, 1997, compared
to $2.9 million in the three month period ended June 30, 1996. However, due to
the timing of discretionary spending for marketing and other costs, such
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996, were unusually high.
Selling, engineering and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
decreased to 18.7% in the three month period ended June 30, 1997, compared to
21.2% in the three month period ended June 30, 1996.

         Interest expense was $0.2 million for the three month period ended June
30, 1997, approximately the same expense as the period ended June 30, 1996.
Miscellaneous expense for the period ended June 30, 1997 was primarily due to
exchange losses in Germany.

         The provision for income taxes in the three month period ended June 30,
1997, was 36.3% of pretax income compared to 39.8% of pro forma pretax income
in the three month period ended June 30, 1996. The decrease in the effective tax
rate was due to the change in the source of pretax income among the Company's
three operations in the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany.

         Net income for the three month period ended June 30, 1997, increased
to $1.1 million, or 10.6% over the three month period ended June 30, 1996,
primarily as a result of the foregoing factors.

COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

         Net sales increased 8.1%, or $2.2 million, to $29.9 million in the six
month period ended June 30, 1997, compared to $27.6 million in the six month
period ended June 30, 1996. Domestic net sales increased 3.1%, or $0.6 million
to $19.0 million. Net sales were restricted in the United States by production
constraints and demand was substantially higher than shipments. International
net sales increased 18.1%, or $1.7 million to $10.9 million. European net sales
increased $0.9 million or 14.0% to $7.1 million. Canada, Mexico and South
American net sales increased $0.3 million to $1.5 million with Japan and Pacific
Rim sales increasing $0.5 million to $2.3 million.

         Gross Profit increased 2.3% or $0.2 million to $9.2 million in the six
month period ended June 30, 1997, compared to $9.0 million in the six month
period ended June 30, 1996. This increase is primarily related to the increase
in net sales. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 30.9% in
the six month period ended June 30, 1997 from 32.6% for the six month period
ended June 30, 1996. The decrease in the percentage of gross profit to net sales
was due to increased manufacturing overhead costs related to the new facilities
in the United States and Germany and production inefficiencies and start-up
costs in the new manifold plant in the United States.

<PAGE>   12
         Selling, engineering and administrative expenses were $5.6 million for
the six month period ended June 30, 1997, approximately the same expense as the
six month period ended June 30, 1996. However, due to the timing of
discretionary spending for marketing and other costs, such expenses for the
three months ended June 30, 1996, were unusually high. Selling, engineering and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 18.6% in the six
month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to 20.2% in the six month period ended
June 30, 1996.

         Interest expense was $0.4 million for the six month period ended June
30, 1997, approximately the same expense, as the period ended June 30, 1996.

         The provision for income taxes in the six month period ended June 30,
1997, was 36.1% of pretax income compared to 39.8% of pro forma pretax income
in the six month period ended June 30, 1996. The decrease in the effective tax
rate primarily was due to the change in the source of pretax income among the
Company's three operations in the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany.

         Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 1997, increased to
$2.1 million, or 15.5% over the six month period ended June 30, 1996, primarily
as a result of the foregoing factors. 
          
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         In January 1997, the Company received $20.3 million of gross proceeds
from its initial public offering of common stock. Net proceeds after expenses
were approximately $19.3 million. In January 1997, approximately 90% or $9.5
million of the S Corporation distribution was paid and the balance of $1.0
million was paid in May 1997. Also in January 1997, the capital equipment loan
balance of $2.9 million and the mortgage balance of $2.4 million on the original
United States facility were paid in full. In March 1997, $1.0 million was paid
to reduce the mortgage on the new plant in the United States to a balance of
$5.2 million. In February and March 1997, $1.4 million was used to repay the
entire revolving line of credit in the United States.

         In February 1997, the Company negotiated a $10.0 million unsecured
revolving credit facility with a term of one year and an interest rate equal to
the bank lender's prime rate. This replaced a $1.7 million revolving line of
credit, which had been secured by the Company's inventories and accounts
receivable. At June 30, 1997, $2.1 million had been drawn down under this credit
facility.

         Cash generated from operations in the six month period ended June 30,
1997, was $2.0 million compared to $3.3 million in the six month period ended
June 30, 1996. The cash flow reduction reflected an increase in inventory of
$1.1 million to provide for higher volume shipments and the various production
moves and an accounts receivable increase of $2.0 million as a result of a
higher shipment level at the end of the second quarter.

         Capital expenditures in the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, were
$3.6 million. This was comprised of $1.4 million related to the construction of
the new facilities in the United States and Germany and $2.2 million spent for
machinery and equipment.

         The Company believes that cash generated from operations and its
borrowing availability under the $10 million revolving line of credit will be
sufficient to satisfy the Company's operating expenses and capital expenditures
for the foreseeable future.


                                       12
<PAGE>   13
         The Company declared a dividend of $.035 per share to shareholders of
record on March 31, 1997, which was paid on April 15,1997. The Company also 
declared a dividend of $.035 per share to shareholders of record July 3, 1997, 
which was paid on July 15, 1997.

SEASONALITY AND INFLATION

         The Company experiences reduced activity during the fourth quarter of
the year, largely as a result of fewer working days due to holiday shutdowns.

         The Company does not believe that inflation had a material effect on
its operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996. There
can be no assurance, however, that the Company's business will not be affected
by inflation in the future.

The treasury stock method was used in the calculation of the average shares
outstanding for EPS. The denominator includes the shares outstanding during the
year plus the number of shares from assumed exercise of all vested outstanding
stock options less the number of treasury shares that would be repurchased from
the proceeds of such exercise. For primary EPS, the average stock price for the
year is used; in the calculation for fully diluted EPS, the quarter end stock
price is used. For the periods presented, the number of shares issued in the
initial public offering are also included in the denominator as though the
shares had been outstanding since the beginning of each year, in accordance with
Regulation S-X, Article 11.
