                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

               FEBRUARY 29, 1996 (UNAUDITED) AND NOVEMBER 30, 1995


NOTE 1

The accompanying financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of
management include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and
financial position for the applicable period.  Results of operations for any
interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any other period or
for the full year.  These interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the
Annual Report  on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 1995.

NOTE 2

On June  30, 1995, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, in GRACO INC.
V. BINKS MANUFACTURING COMPANY, vacated a judgment of infringement and an award
of $2.75 million against the company regarding certain pumps sold prior to June
1993.  The United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas
previously found that the Company had "willfully" infringed a patent and awarded
Graco treble damages, attorney fees and costs.  The Federal Circuit reversed the
district court's finding that Binks "willfully" infringed Graco's patent and the
resulting enhancement of damages and award of attorneys' fees.  The Federal
Circuit remanded the case for findings on the issues of whether the patent was
valid and infringed.  Graco asserts that on remand it will seek damages and
interest of approximately $750,000.  The Company believes that there are
meritorious defenses to these claims and thus no provision for any liability has
been made in the financial statements.

NOTE 3

In the first quarter of 1995, the Company sold two buildings in the United
States.  The pretax gains on these sales amounted to $258,000 and are included
in other income in the consolidated statement of earnings.  The after tax gains
on these sales were $127,000.

            Binks Manufacturing Company and Consolidated Subsidiaries

                      MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Revenue generated from operations constitutes the primary source of the
Company's liquidity.  Short-term funds are also provided for current operations
through bank loans and the issuance of bankers acceptances.  The Company
maintains substantial lines of credit for general corporate purposes and to
provide support for the issuance of bankers acceptances.  The unused lines of
credit were approximately $24,581,000 at February 29, 1996.

The Company's cash balances decreased $2,194,000 during the three months ended
February 29, 1996.   The net decrease was the result of $456,000 provided by
operations due to higher sales volumes, $126,000 provided by investing
activities from decreases in other long term assets offset by purchases of
property, plant and equipment, $2,726,000  used in financing activities from
reductions in borrowings and a $50,000 decrease based on the changes in foreign
exchange rates during the period.

On November 30, 1993 the Company agreed to issue $15,000,000 of 7.14% senior
notes with a final maturity in 2008.  Funding of the notes took place on
December 6, 1993 and the proceeds were used to repay a portion of the debt
outstanding under one of the Company's lines of credit.  The Company will repay
the principal in 11 annual installments beginning in 1998.

A dividend was paid April 8, 1996 at the rate of $.10 per share, to stockholders
of record March 8, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales in the first quarter of 1996 amounted to $65,429,000, an increase of
11% or $6,435,000 as compared to the first quarter of 1995.  Strong demand for
products produced by Sames SA, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary in France,
was chiefly responsible for the increase.

Gross profit increased 3% to a total of $21,146,000 for the quarter ended
February 29, 1996 as compared to the first quarter in 1995 mainly because of the
higher sales.  The gross profit percentage decreased to 32% in 1996 from 35% in
1995 because of the product mix which included more lower margin large contracts
in 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $625,000 or 4% as
compared to the first quarter in 1995.  As a percentage of net sales these
expenses  decreased to 28% in  1996 from 29% in 1995.  Interest expense
increased $156,000 when compared to the first quarter in 1995 because of an
increase in interest  bearing debt.

As discussed in Note 3, first quarter 1995 other income includes $258,000 of
gains from the sale of two buildings in the United States.  One building was
sold after the completion of a new facility.  The second building was sold after
production was shifted to the Company's main plant in an effort to reduce
manufacturing costs.

The percentage of income taxes to pretax earnings was 44% in the first quarter
of 1996 as compared with 40% in 1995.  The change relates to the geographic mix
of profitability.
