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 six months ended 
September 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.

Fiscal 1994 unusual items are $38,902,000 ($2.00 per share) in the first
quarter as a result of a jury verdict in connection with a power plant
construction contract and related legal costs and, in the second quarter,
$7,000,000 ($.34 per share) for a plant closing and asset write-offs and
benefits of $8,363,000 ($.41 per share) from the recovery of an account
receivable previously written off and a net $.12 per share from revaluing net
deferred tax assets and increasing the effective tax rate.  If all issues are
lost on appeal of the jury verdict 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
Liquid assets, net of valuation allowances, increased $4,810,000 during the
six-month period and, at September 30, 1994, they were invested to a greater
extent in shorter-term debt instruments classified as cash equivalents rather
than as marketable securities.  Other than the collection of receivables from
the higher level of Lynx Golf sales in last year's fourth 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 significantly
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 lead 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.

                                                   (Thousands)
Power Systems                       $ 35,182  $128,396     $ 71,692  $336,796
Water Control                         61,673    68,287      122,781   129,761
Lynx Golf                              5,584     9,486       12,906    19,215
Others                                 9,730     9,324       19,175    18,497
                                    $112,169  $215,493     $226,554  $504,269

The Power Systems segment revenue decline reflects the decline in the United
States independent power generation and steam generating equipment markets and
the resulting lower level of orders received over the last 18 months.  Working
from a substantially greater beginning backlog, last year's revenues reflect
the higher level of power plant construction activity on projects having
larger amounts of major equipment.  The Water Control segment's sales of
plumbing products for the quarter and six months increased 20% and 18%,
respectively, as a result of obtaining a greater market share and price
increases.  These results were more than offset by lower revenues from water
resource construction projects and the installation of fire sprinkler systems
as the backlogs of these California-based businesses remain at low levels.  

Lynx Golf sales have been negatively impacted by intense marketplace
competition while they were bolstered in last year's second quarter by the
introduction of new metal woods.  Lynx Golf continues to suffer from surplus
capacity and, based on the competitive situation in the golf club market, it
is not expected to show significant improvement in year-to-year results until
the fourth quarter when sales are expected to be stronger based on the planned
introduction of a unique new golf club.

The higher gross profit margin is primarily attributable to the lower
percentage of total sales contributed by the Power Systems segment. Other
factors included margin gains on plumbing products and cost reductions in the
Lynx Golf and fire protection sprinkler systems businesses.  In last year's
second quarter, Lynx Golf included a loss for the disposition of discontinued
products.  Marketing and administration expense reductions attributable to
plant closings and other cost reduction measures generally have been offset by
commissions and promotion costs associated with the plumbing products sales
increase and the on-going international marketing efforts of the Power Systems
segment.

The unusual items and last year's revaluation of net deferred tax assets and
effective tax rate change are described in the notes to financial statements. 
The low effective income tax rate this year results from tax exempt investment
income being a more significant component of pretax income.
