                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  August 31, 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 l0-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.

NOTE 4
In the third quarter of 1996, the Company sold its corporate jet.  The pretax
loss on this sale amounted to $194,000 and is included in other expense in the
consolidated statement of earnings.  The after tax loss on this sale was
$152,000.

NOTE 5
The Company is attempting to negotiate a settlement of litigation brought
against the Company in 1993 to limit the costs associated with protracted
litigation.  No estimate of loss can be made at this time.

              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 effectively $27,604,000 at August 31, 1996.

The Company's cash balances increased $887,000 during the nine months ended
August 31, 1996.  The net increase was the result of $2,892,000 provided by
operations due to higher sales volumes, $1,312,000 used for investing activities
principally for purchases of property, plant and equipment, $626,000 used in
financing activities mainly for the payment of dividends and a $67,000 decrease
based on the changes in foreign exchanges 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 August 2, 1996 at the rate of $.10 per share to stockholders
of record on July 19, 1996.  For the first nine months of 1996, dividends have
been paid at the rate of $.30 per share versus $.40 per share for the same
period in 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales increased 5% or $8,602,000 to a total of $199,841,000 for the nine
months ended August 31, 1996, as compared with $191,239,000 for the same period
in 1995.  In the third quarter ended August 31, 1996, sales increased 5% to
$71,536,000 as compared to $67,871,000 in the third quarter of 1995.  Increased
demand for electrostatic products produced by the Company's subsidiary in France
was chiefly responsible for the increase.

Gross profit increased 1% to a total of $65,764,000 for the nine months ended
August 31, 1996 as compared to the first nine months in 1995 mainly because of
higher sales.  The gross profit percentage was 33% in 1996 and 34% in 1995.  The
gross profit percentage varies depending on the amount of larger contracts that
generally have lower margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2,215,000 or 4% as
compared to the first nine months in 1995 mainly to support the increase in
sales.  As a percentage of net sales, these expenses were 29% in 1996 and 30% in
1995.  Interest expense increased $88,000 when compared to the same period in
1995 primarily due to an increase in the average amount of interest bearing debt
outstanding.

              Binks Manufacturing Company and Consolidated Subsidiaries

                        MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Contributions to employee profit sharing funds are based on profitability of the
parent company and certain subsidiaries that have profit sharing funds. Amounts
will vary according to contribution formulas and the related profits.
Contributions of $298,000 were made in the first nine months of 1996 compared to
contributions of $22,000 in the first nine months of 1995.

Other nonoperating expense increased by $598,000 in the nine months ended August
31, 1996 when compared to the corresponding period in 1995.  This net cost
increase was primarily due to gains on the sales of buildings by the Company in
the first quarter of 1995 totalling $258,000.  Also contributing to the variance
was a loss on the disposition of the corporate jet in the third quarter of 1996
that amounted to $194,000. In addition there was a $172,000  cost adjustment by
the Japanese subsidiary in the second quarter of 1996 related to the liability
associated with their Employee Retirement Fund.

The percentage of income taxes to pretax earnings was 50% in 1996 as compared
with 42% in 1995.  The change relates to the geographic mix of profitability.

Net income for the nine months ended August 31, 1996 totalled $1,633,000, a
decrease of 50% versus the $3,298,000 earned in the corresponding period of
1995.  The decrease in net income is the result of all of the factors described
above.

CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS

To improve future profitability the Company is examining all of its operations
and the way it serves its markets.  Material one time charges are expected to
occur in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 to settle disputes, reduce headcount,
exit unprofitable product lines and lower recurring facilities costs.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE
SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995.  The matters discussed under "Current
Developments" are forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties which include, but are not limited to, the timing and amount of
any or all of such one-time charges relating to the anticipated dispute
settlements and restructuring and the general effects of the restructuring on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
