NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The statements of consolidated operations and cash flows have been restated as
the result of the decisions made in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 to sell
the Lynx Golf and Mechanical Power Transmission segments and in the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 to sell the Power Systems segment businesses.

The disposition of the Lynx Golf and Mechanical Power Transmission segments
was completed in the current year's third quarter with an after-tax gain of
$7,164 being realized, of which $2,164 has been recognized as a result of the
second quarter decision to discontinue the Power Systems segment businesses. 
Last year's $600 fourth quarter discontinued operations loss provision was
reversed in the second quarter.

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 nine months ended 
December 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

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

At December 31, 1996, $19.2 million of letters of credit were outstanding
under the $100 million commitment from a group of banks for letters of credit
and revolving credit loans and letters of credit issued under other
arrangements amounted to $2.4 million.

If the March 1996 repeal of the State of Illinois Retail Rate Law of 1987 is
not reversed and the assets of two power plants being constructed by the
Company, including debt funding by the owner, are insufficient, a pretax loss
of up to $14 million could be sustained by the discontinued Power Systems
businesses for which no provision has been made as management believes the
Company's costs will be recovered.

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.

A subsidiary of the Company merged into Eljer Industries, Inc. on January 27,
1997 following a $24.00 per share cash tender offer for all the outstanding
common stock of Eljer.  In connection with the merger, the Company's existing
agreement for letters of credit and revolving credit loans was terminated and
a credit agreement was entered into by the Company and an Eljer subsidiary. 
Under the agreement, the Company may borrow $90 million to finance the
purchase of Eljer common stock and $50 million for general corporate purposes,
including letters of credit aggregating no more than $40 million until 1998
and $30 million thereafter.  The Eljer subsidiary may borrow $110 million to
refinance existing debt and fund the trust contemplated by the Third Amended
Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy code
for its subsidiary, United States Brass Corporation.

                                      -5-<PAGE>
Substantially all of the Company's and Eljer's domestic accounts receivable,
inventories, and property, plant, and equipment (other than those of the Power
Systems businesses and certain other underutilized assets which the Company
expects to sell) have been pledged as security for loans and letters of credit
under the credit agreement.


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

Business Restructuring
The decision to sell the Power Systems businesses was made in the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 and, accordingly, they and the Lynx Golf and Mechanical
Power Transmission segments, whose disposition was completed in the third
quarter, are reported in the consolidated financial statements as discontinued
operations.  The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations have
been removed from the consolidated accounts and are presented in the statement
of financial position as a single net asset (Lynx Golf and Mechanical Power
Transmission at March 31, 1996 and the Power Systems segment at December 31,
1996) resulting in significant decreases in accounts receivable, inventories,
property, plant, and equipment, and current liabilities at December 31, 1996
compared to the amounts reported for previous periods.  The statements of
consolidated operations and cash flows have been restated to present
separately for all periods the continuing operations of the Water Control
segment, now the Company's dominant segment, and the discontinued operations.

Financial Condition
Liquid assets increased from $30,031 at March 31, 1996 to $89,451 at December
31, 1996, and the discontinued operations' net assets decreased, as the result
of completing the sales of the Lynx Golf and Mechanical Power Transmission
segments.  An income tax refund and the reversal of deferred income taxes on
the sale of discontinued operations reduced the current asset.  The property,
plant, and equipment decrease is attributable to discontinuing the Power
Systems businesses and the sale of Gary Concrete.  Accelerated collection of
long-term notes receivable reduced the Company's investments.

The status of two power plant construction projects and the litigation
disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements are not expected
to have a future material effect on the Company's financial position.

Results of Operations
The Water Control segment is now the Company's dominant industry segment.  Its
sales increase for the nine months was derived from plumbing products and fire
protection systems.  Half of the more than 20% year-to-date increase in sales
of plumbing products was attributable to market gains and almost half from 
the acquisition last fall of Sanitary-Dash with the balance being derived from
internally developed new products.  As a result of a low backlog and the sale
of Gary Concrete, revenues from water resource construction projects declined
sharply in the current year's third quarter and more than offset the revenue
gains in the first six months which were derived from substantially completing
a large contract.


                                      -6-<PAGE>
Gross profit margin percentages were larger this year as plumbing products
contributed a greater proportion of the total revenues.  Marketing and
administration expenses were up primarily as the result of commissions on the
increased plumbing products sales and several items which lowered 1995's costs
compared to those incurred this year.

The Water Control segment backlog of unfilled orders was: December 1996 - $105
million; September 1996 - $66 million; December 1995 - $111 million.

The following tables set forth the fiscal 1997 an 1996 quarterly data
(thousands except per share amounts) restated for the effects of discontinuing
the Lynx Golf and Mechanical Power Transmission segments and the Power Systems
segment businesses.

                             1986 RETIREMENT PLAN
                           FOR OUTSIDE DIRECTORS OF
                             ZURN INDUSTRIES, INC.

        (Adopted May 19, 1986 for Directors first elected after 1/1/86)
        (Terminated August 2, 1996 for subsequently elected Directors)

1.     ELIGIBILITY

       Non-Management Directors (Directors) who have completed five (5) years
       of Board Service prior to August 2, 1996 will become eligible for
       accrued benefits under the 1986 Retirement Plan for Outside Directors
       of Zurn Industries, Inc. (Plan) upon retirement or upon becoming
       totally disabled, whichever occurs first.

       Payment of benefits may not begin before age 65, and not until
       retirement from the Board. The mandatory retirement age for Directors
       elected after February 12, 1981 is 72.

2.     BENEFIT AMOUNT

       The annual benefit for each eligible Director shall be 50% of the
       annual cash retainer fee in effect at the time of retirement.

3.     PAYMENT DURATION

       Benefits are payable for life, or for the number of years of Board
       Service, whichever is the lesser.

4.     SURVIVORS

       There shall be no benefits payable to survivors of eligible Directors
       other than those benefits payable during the lifetime of the retired
       Director.

5.     CONDITIONS FOR CONTINUING PAYMENTS

       Retired Outside Directors receiving a benefit under the 1986 Retirement
       Plan are required to provide consulting advice to the Company when
       requested by the Company; and may not compete with the Company in its
       businesses.

6.     CONTRIBUTIONS

       Outside Directors will make no monetary contribution toward the cost of
       funding the Plan.

                                     -12-<PAGE>
Retirement Plan for Outside Directors (1986)
Page 2

       The Company will pay the full cost of providing benefits under the
       Plan.


7.     VESTING

       Upon becoming eligible for benefits under the Plan, each Director shall
       be vested 100% in the accrued Benefit Amount provided herein, payable
       to the Director in accordance with the Plan and no modification,
       amendment or termination of the Plan shall impair the obligation of the
       Company to make payments of such benefits.


8.     TRUST

       The Company shall establish a Trust with respect to the Plan and
       designate a Trustee selected by the Chief Executive Officer. The
       Company shall from time to time, but at least annually, deliver to the
       Trustee cash and/or securities equal in value to the current value of
       all accrued benefits of each participant as determined by an
       independent actuary selected by the Company. The Trust funds shall at
       all times be subject to claims of general creditors of the Company in
       the event of bankruptcy or insolvency.


9.     CHANGE IN CONTROL

       In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, then each and every
       Director and retired Director or survivor who is eligible to receive
       benefits under the Plan (participant) shall immediately receive a lump
       sum payment equal to the present value of his or her vested benefit as
       calculated by the independent enrolled actuary of the Pension Plan
       using the same rates and assumptions as used with the Pension Plan. For
       this purpose "vested benefit" shall be each active participant's
       benefit as if such participant had completed at least five years of
       service as a Director.

       A Change in Control shall be deemed to occur if:

       (a)  any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of
       the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended [the "Exchange Act"],
       other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding
       securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, or any
       Company owned, directly or indirectly, by the shareholders of the
       Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of
       Common Stock of the Company) becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined
       in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or
       indirectly, of securities of the Company representing twenty percent
       (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
       outstanding securities;
                                     -13-<PAGE>
Retirement Plan for Outside Directors (1986)
Page 3

       (b)  during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the
       beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors, and any new
       director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered
       into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in
       clauses (a), (c) or (d) of this Section) whose election by the Board of
       Directors or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders was
       approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still
       in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or
       whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved
       cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof;

       (c)  the shareholders of the Company approve (1) a merger or
       consolidation of the Company with any other company, other than a
       merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of
       the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to
       represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into
       voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent
       (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the
       Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such
       merger or consolidation or (2) a merger or consolidation effected to
       implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in
       which no "person" (as hereinabove defined) acquires more than fifty
       percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Company's then
       outstanding securities; or

       (d)  the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete
       liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition
       by the Company of all of substantially all of the Company's assets.


10.    UNVESTED BENEFITS AT PLAN TERMINATION

       Directors who have not retired and have not completed five (5) years of
       Board Service prior to August 2, 1996 shall receive as of August 2,
       1996 the net present value of their unvested accrued benefits as of
       August 2, 1996 in the form of Common Stock of the Company which shall
       be restricted for a period (the "Restricted Period") of five years or,
       if earlier, until the first to occur of the events set forth below;
       provided, however the restrictions shall remain in effect for not less
       than six months from the date of the award.

       (a)  the Director attains age 65 and completes five years of service as
       a Director, including service prior to the date of the award;

       (b)  the Director's service on the Board terminates as a result of not
       being nominated for re-election by the Board, but not as a result of
       the Director's declining to serve again;



                                     -14-<PAGE>
Retirement Plan for Outside Directors (1986)
Page 4

       (c)  the Director's service on the Board terminates because the
       Director, although nominated for re-election by the Board, is not re-
       elected;

       (d)  the Director is unable to serve because of disability;

       (e)  the Director dies; or

       (f)  a "Change in Control" as defined in the Plan. 

       If the date a Director's service on the Board terminates is before the
       end of the Restricted Period with respect to the award of shares of
       Common Stock, the Director shall forfeit and return to the Company all
       such Common Stock.

       The Common Stock shall be subject to the following restrictions, among
       others, during the Restricted Period:

       (a)  The Common Stock shall be subject to forfeiture to the Company as
       described above.

       (b)  The Common Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged,
       hypothecated or otherwise disposed of and neither the right to receive
       Common Stock nor any interest under the Plan may be assigned by a
       Director.
