COMMERCIAL INTERTECH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

January 31, 1994

Note A - Basis of Presentation
- ------------------------------
         The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial
         statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
         accepted accounting principles for interim financial
         information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
         Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not
         include all of the information and footnotes required by
         generally accepted accounting principles for complete
         financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
         adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
         considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
         included.  Operating results for the three-month period
         ended January 31, 1994 are not necessarily indicative
         of the results that may be expected for the year ended
         October 31, 1994.  For further information, refer to the
         consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
         included in Commercial Intertech Corp. and Subsidiaries'
         annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 1993.

Note B - Per-Share Data
- -----------------------
         Per-share data was computed using the weighted average number
         of common shares outstanding during the period.  The preferred
         stock issued in February, 1990 was determined not to be a
         common stock equivalent for primary earnings per share.  In
         computing primary earnings per common share, the Series B and
         C preferred dividends and adjustments reduce income available
         to common shareholders.

         In computing fully diluted earnings per share, dilution is
         determined by dividing net earnings by the weighted average
         number of common shares outstanding during the period after
         giving effect to dilutive preferred stock assumed converted
         to common stock.  The most dilutive calculation assumes
         conversion of Series B preferred stock to common shares and
         the subsequent adjustments to net income for Series C
         preferred dividends and dividend rate adjustments for Series B
         preferred to arrive at income available to common share-
         holders.

Note D - Employee Stock Ownership Plan Loan (ESOP) - Guaranteed Debt
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
         During the third quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company's ESOP
         completed a refinancing program by issuing $23,231,000 of
         7.08 percent senior notes due December 31, 2009 privately
         placed with a group of insurance companies.  The senior notes
         replace the $25 million variable interest rate loan.  Since
         the debt is guaranteed by the Company, it is recorded in the
         long-term debt section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet with
         an offset shown as a reduction of shareholders' equity as
         Deferred Compensation.  As Company contributions and dividends
         on the Senior B ESOP convertible preferred shares held by the
         ESOP are used to meet interest and principal payments, shares
         are released for allocation to eligible employees.

         The refinancing program is not reflected in the Company's cash
         flow statement because the ESOP's master trust handled all cash
         transactions.

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



First Quarter 1994 Compared To First Quarter 1993
- -------------------------------------------------
     Consolidated net revenues of $104,360,000 during the first three
months of fiscal 1994, the highest first quarter sales recorded in the
Company's history, were $5,033,000 or 5 percent higher than the same
period last year.  On the strength of this record performance, net
income of $2,068,000 was $1,441,000 higher than the first quarter,
fiscal 1993.

     Record first quarter revenues from operations in the United States
of $62,946,000 were $10,938,000 or 21 percent higher than the first
three months of last year as gains in sales were realized in virtually
all market segments served by the Company.  All of the Company's
business units recorded domestic revenue percentage gains exceeding
9 percent, capitalizing on the continuing economic recovery in
the United States.  Meanwhile, first quarter sales reported by foreign
operating units of $41,414,000 were $5,905,000 or 13 percent lower
than the same period last year.  The global recession continues to
impact markets in Europe and the United Kingdom as double-digit
percentage declines were realized by both the Hydraulic Components group
and the Building Systems Division.  Meanwhile, overseas sales recorded
by the Fluid Purification Systems group were 15 percent higher than
the first quarter of fiscal 1993, reflecting improvements in the
economies of Japan and the Pacific Rim.  Adjusted for changes in foreign
currency exchange rates and due to a stronger U.S. dollar, foreign
revenues would have been $1,845,000 or 5 percent higher at last year's
exchange rates.  On a parity adjusted basis, foreign market segment
performance is mixed, with total foreign sales volume down 8 percent
from last year's levels.

     Consolidated gross profit of $31,701,000 was $4,542,000 or
17 percent higher than last year, due generally to increased sales
volume and vigilant cost control systems, as gross profit margins
increased over three percentage points.  Both domestic and foreign
operations were able to realize similar gross margin gains since last
year by responding to ever-changing global economic challenges.

     Operating income during the current period of $5,278,000 was
$2,485,000 higher than the first three months of last year.  All three
of the Company's business units recognized significant year-over-year
gains in operating income, despite lagging business conditions in Europe
and the United Kingdom.  Selling and administrative expenses during the
current three month period of $26,423,000 were 8 percent higher than
last year due principally to adjustments for foreign currency exchange
rate differences and severance expenses recorded by the Fluid
Purification Systems and Hydraulic Components groups.
<PAGE>   9

     Nonoperating expenses of $1,681,000 during the current quarter were        
$612,000 higher than the same period last year, due principally to foreign
currency losses incurred as a result of fluctuating exchange rates, incurred
primarily by the Company's Brazilian subsidiary.  Meanwhile, interest expense
of $1,530,000 remained relatively the same as the first three months of last
year.

     The effective income tax rate of 43 percent during the first quarter of
fiscal 1994 is lower than the same period last year, due principally to higher
income in the United States where income tax rates are lower than those
recorded by the Company's foreign operations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION 
- ------------------- 

     Cash and cash equivalents decreased $7,822,000 during the first three 
months of fiscal 1994. Operating performance resulted in cash used by operating
activities of $2,459,000, compared to $5,851,000 of cash provided during the
same period last year.  Cash used in investing activities of $2,274,000 was
$357,000 higher than the first quarter of  fiscal 1993 partially due to higher
capital expenditures in the current period. In light of current market trends
and economic conditions, the  Company continues to actively monitor its capital
spending requirements.  Cash used by financing activities of $3,401,000 was
$4,179,000 lower  than the same period last year due principally to the
reduction of  payments against long-term debt.

     The Company expects internal cash flows to generate sufficient resources to
support operating needs and to finance pending capital expenditure programs. 
Supplemental borrowings against existing credit facilities will also be used as
required to finance the capitalization programs.

     Net trade customer orders received of $117,377,000 during the first three
months of the current fiscal year were 15 percent higher than the same period
last year, adjusted for foreign currency  differences, but 3 percent lower than
bookings received during the  fourth quarter of fiscal 1993, parity adjusted. 
Current period orders  received by all three domestic business units exceeded
last year's  levels; bookings recorded by the Hydraulic Components and Metal
Products groups were significantly higher than the same period last
year.  The foreign Hydraulic Components and Fluid Purification Systems groups
reported gains in customer orders, parity adjusted over the same period last
year, rebounding from the depressed levels experienced in fiscal 1993. 
Meanwhile, orders received by the Building Systems Division in Europe fell 20
percent from last year's first quarter levels, parity adjusted, and were 10
percent lower than the last quarter of fiscal 1993, adjusting for changes in
foreign currency exchange rates.  The European economy remains soft and
projections for any significant recovery in the short term appear uncertain. 
Earnings from the Company's operations based in Europe are expected to be
impacted accordingly. The current trade order backlog of $120,676,000, at its
highest level in 16 months, is 12 percent higher than the backlog at the end of
fiscal 1993, on a parity adjusted basis.  Despite record first quarter sales,
the backlog of unshipped orders remains 9 percent higher than the balance at
the end of the first quarter of last year, adjusting for currency exchange rate
differences.
