NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the results for the interim
periods presented.  The results of operations for the three months ended 
June 30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.

Earnings per share are based on net income or loss and the average shares of
common stock and dilutive stock options outstanding during the period.

The unusual item is $2.00 per share as a result of a jury verdict in
connection with a power plant construction contract and related legal costs. 
If all issues are lost on the appeal which is being aggressively pursued,
additional charges could reach $22,100,000, including interest which is not
being accrued.

In the normal course of business, financial and performance guarantees are
made in connection with major engineering and construction contracts and a
liability is recognized when a probable loss occurs.  Also, there are various
claims, legal, and environmental proceedings which management believes will
have no material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations when they are resolved.


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

Financial Condition
The liquid assets decline during the quarter was primarily attributable to the
use of cash by operations, capital expenditures, and the payment of dividends
to stockholders.  Other than the collection of receivables from the higher
level of Lynx Golf sales in the prior quarter, most of the other changes in
operating assets and liabilities were associated with construction contract
activities, particularly in the Power Systems segment.  Despite these changes,
the Company's working capital was not affected and the current ratio returned
to its 2.0 to 1 historical level.

The litigation disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements is
not expected to have a future material effect on the Company's financial
position.  However, if all issues which led to the unusual litigation
provision are lost on appeal, the resulting cash expenditure could be more
than $33,000,000 net of the ensuing income tax payment reductions.









                                      -5-<PAGE>
Results of Operations
Sales by the Company's industry segments were as set forth below.

                                                    Three Months Ended June 30
                                                      1994              1993
                                                           (Thousands)
Power Systems                                       $ 36,510          $208,400
Water Control                                         61,108            61,474
Lynx Golf                                              7,322             9,729
Others                                                 9,445             9,173
                                                    $114,385          $288,776

The Power Systems segment revenue decline reflects the decline in the United
States market and the related lower level of new order activity experienced
for more than a year.  Working from a substantially higher beginning backlog,
last year's revenues reflected major equipment installations and a higher
level of construction activity for power generation projects.  The Water
Control segment's 16% increase in sales of plumbing products was offset by
lower revenues from the installation of fire protection sprinkler systems and
water resource construction projects.  Lynx Golf sales were below last year
which benefited from the introduction of new metal woods.

The higher gross profit margin is primarily attributable to the lower
percentage of total sales contributed by the Power Systems segment.  Other
factors included cost reductions in the Lynx Golf and fire protection
sprinkler systems businesses and margin gains on plumbing products.

The unusual item is described in the notes to financial statements.  The low
effective income tax rate results from tax exempt investment income being a
more significant component of pretax income this year.

The Company's backlog of unfilled orders by industry segment was as follows:

                                             June          March          June
