As of July 15, 1996, 14,665,404 common shares were outstanding, and the
aggregate market value of the voting stock held by non-affiliates of the
Registrant (based upon the last price on that date and, for purposes of this
calculation only, the assumption that all of the Registrant's officers,
directors and their affiliates are affiliates of the Registrant), was
approximately $391,516,016. Because no market exists for the ESOP Convertible
Preferred Stock Series B shares, these shares were not included in determining
the aggregate market value of the Registrant's voting stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Commercial Intertech Corp. and Subsidiaries
NOTE A - ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation:
The accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries
are included in the consolidated financial statements. All intercompany
accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. Certain amounts
in the consolidated financial statements for prior years have been reclassified
to conform to the current presentation.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventories in the
United States are primarily valued on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost
method. The method used for all other inventories is first-in, first-out
(FIFO). Approximately 51 percent (56 percent in 1994) of worldwide inventories
are accounted for using the LIFO method. Inventories as of October 31
consisted of the following:

</TABLE>
If all inventories were priced using the FIFO method, which approximates
replacement cost, inventories would have been $16,591,000 higher in 1995 and
$15,510,000 higher in 1994.
Intangibles:
Intangible assets at October 31 are summarized as follows:

<PAGE> 8
ITEM 8. (Continued)
NOTE A - ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Excess cost over the fair value of net assets acquired (or goodwill)
generally is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The carrying
value of goodwill is reviewed if facts and circumstances suggest that it may be
impaired. If this review indicates that goodwill will not be recoverable, as
determined on the estimated undiscounted cash flows of the entity acquired over
the remaining amortization period, the Company's carrying value of the goodwill
is reduced by the estimated shortfall of cash flows. In addition, the Company
assesses long-lived assets for impairment under Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 121. Under those rules, goodwill associated with assets
acquired in a purchase business combination is included in impairment
evaluations when events or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying
amount of those assets may not be recoverable.
Other intangibles, including patents, know-how and trademarks, are carried
at their appraised value on the acquisition date less accumulated amortization,
which is provided using the straight-line method over 10 to 25 years.
Deferred credit represents negative goodwill from an acquisition (see Note
K).
Properties and Depreciation:
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Buildings and
equipment are depreciated over their useful lives, principally by use of the
straight-line method.
Income Taxes:
The Company uses the liability method as required by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 in measuring the provision for income
taxes and recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities on the balance sheet.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities principally arise from differences
between the tax basis of the asset or liability and its reported amount in the
consolidated financial statements. These include inventory valuation
differences under uniform capitalization rules, depreciation expense, accrued
expenses, postretirement benefit expenses, net operating loss carryforwards and
a gain on the sale of property in the United Kingdom. Deferred tax balances
are determined by using provisions of the enacted tax laws; the effects of
future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated.

<PAGE> 9
ITEM 8. (Continued)
NOTE A - ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Provisions are made for appropriate income taxes on undistributed earnings
of foreign subsidiaries which are expected to be remitted to the parent company
in the near term. The cumulative amount of unremitted earnings of
subsidiaries, which aggregated approximately $70,794,000 at October 31, 1995,
is deemed to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S.
federal and state income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of
those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be
subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax
credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries.
Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. tax liability is not
practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical
calculation; however, unrecognized foreign tax credit carryforwards would be
available to reduce some portion of the U.S. liability.
Translation of Foreign Currencies:
The financial statements of foreign entities are translated in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 52, except for
those entities located in highly inflationary countries. Under this method,
revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for
the year while all assets and liability accounts are translated into U.S.
dollars at the current exchange rate. Resulting translation adjustments are
recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity and do not affect
income determination.
Earnings Per-Share Amounts:
The Company's Board of Directors approved a three-for-two split in July
1994 of the Company's common stock in the form of a 50 percent share dividend.
The par value of each share was not changed from $1. Accordingly, all per
share and stock option data have been restated to reflect the split. In
connection with the split, common stock was credited and capital surplus was
charged for the aggregate par value of the shares that were issued.
Income per share of common stock is computed using the weighted-average
number of shares outstanding for each year after giving retroactive effect to
the 1994 share dividend. The preferred stock issuances were determined not to
be common stock equivalents for primary earnings per common share. In
computing primary earnings per common share, the Series B preferred dividends
reduce income available to common shareholders.
- 9 -
<PAGE> 10
ITEM 8. (Continued)
NOTE A - ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In computing fully diluted earnings per share, dilution is determined by
dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during each year adjusted for the 1994 share dividend after giving
effect to dilutive preferred stock assumed converted to common stock. The
dilutive calculation assumes conversion of Series B preferred stock to common
shares and the subsequent adjustment for dividend rates to arrive at income
available to common shareholders.
Cash Equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Investment in Reserve Contracts:
The Company holds corporate owned life insurance contracts on all domestic
employees. The contracts are recorded at cash surrender value, net of policy
loans, in Other Assets. The net contract expense, including interest expense,
is included in Selling, Administrative and General Expenses in the Statements
of Consolidated Income. The related interest expense was $7,973,000 in 1995,
$6,320,000 in 1994, and $3,660,000 in 1993 which in each year is reduced for
contract benefits and net amortization of contract premiums and cash surrender
value.
Revenue Recognition:
Revenue is recognized when the earning process is complete and the risks
and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, which is generally
considered to have occurred upon shipment of the finished product.
Advertising:
The Company expenses all advertising cost as incurred. Advertising
expense incurred during the period was immaterial.
Newly Issued Accounting Standards:
In March 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of" (SFAS No. 121), was issued. The Company adopted SFAS No.
121 during fiscal 1995. There was no impact on the Company's financial results
or position. SFAS No. 121 requires companies to review long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable.
- 10 -
<PAGE> 11
ITEM 8. (Continued)
NOTE A - ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In October 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," was issued. As permitted by this
statement, the Company intends to continue to account for such compensation,
using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB No. 25. Adoption of

The Company has outstanding $45 million of 8.20 percent senior notes due
in 2002, privately placed with a group of insurance companies. The notes have
level annual sinking fund payments beginning in April 1997. The senior notes
include covenants which require the maintenance of certain financial ratios.
The Company was in compliance with these covenants at October 31, 1995.
The Company maintains a $35 million nonreducing revolving credit facility
with a group of three banks. There were no borrowings outstanding from this
facility at October 31, 1995 or 1994. The funds available under the agreement
may be used for any general corporate purposes, including share purchases. The
Company pays a facility fee of 0.25 percent per annum on the total commitment.
The revolving credit portion of the agreement has interest options determinable
by the Company based upon LIBOR, certificate of deposit or prime interest
rates. The maximum rate is prime rate, 7/8 percentage point over LIBOR or one
percentage point over certificate of deposit rates. The credit agreement also
has a competitive bid option feature, which under certain conditions provides
lower interest rates. The credit agreement includes covenants which require
the maintenance of certain financial ratios. The Company was in compliance
with these covenants at October 31, 1995. Additionally, under the most
restrictive provisions of the agreement, approximately $23.5 million of
unrestricted retained earnings is available for future dividend payments or
share purchases. During 1994 the agreement was extended two years and will
expire April 1997.

Industrial revenue loans cover two separate domestic expansion programs
and have maturities to January 1, 2001. Interest costs currently range from
6.825 to 7.75 percent, and the loans are secured by property and equipment at
the Benton, Arkansas and Hicksville, Ohio facilities (net book value at October
31, 1995 - $5,340,000).
Mortgages relate to construction programs at two facilities. The three
loans collateralized with a Japanese facility were replaced during fiscal 1995
with two loans that bear interest at 1.75 and 1.88 percent, maturing through
the year 2000. One of the two loans is secured with property and equipment at
Kita-Ibaragi, Japan (net book value at October 31, 1995 - $6,395,000). The
second loan is unsecured. The loan for the second program is collateralized by
a facility located in Enfield, Connecticut and bears interest at 5.0 percent,
also maturing in the year 2000. The Enfield facility's net book value at
October 31, 1995 was $4,062,000.
The Company established the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in
February 1990. The ESOP is presently financed by 7.08 percent senior notes due
December 31, 2009, privately placed with a group of insurance companies. Since
the debt is guaranteed by the Company, it is included in Long-Term Debt with an
offset recorded as Deferred Compensation in Shareholders' Equity. As Company
contributions and dividends on the shares held by the ESOP are used to meet
interest and principal payments, shares are released for allocation to eligible
employees.
Principal payments due in the five years after October 31, 1995 (excluding
the ESOP loan guarantee) are:

ITEM 8. (Continued)
NOTE E - BENEFIT PLANS
The Company and its subsidiaries have a number of noncontributory defined
benefit pension plans covering most U.S. employees. Pension benefits for the
hourly employees covered by these plans are expressed as a percentage of
average earnings over a ten-year period times years of continuous service or as
a flat benefit rate times years of continuous service. Benefits for salaried
employees are based upon a percentage of the employee's average compensation
during the preceding ten years, reduced by 50 percent of the Social Security
Retirement Benefit. The Company's funding policy is to contribute amounts to
the plans sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus such additional amounts
as may be deemed appropriate from time to time.
The Company also sponsors defined contribution pension plans for the
hourly employees of its operations in Benton, Arkansas; Kings Mountain, North
Carolina; and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Contributions and expense for these
plans are computed at 3 percent of annual employee compensation or at a
discretionary rate as determined each year by the Company. Hourly employees at
the Orange, California facility are covered by a multiemployer plan which
provides benefits in a manner similar to a defined contribution arrangement.
The Company accounts for pension costs under the provisions of FASB
Statement No. 87 for contributory defined benefit pension plans covering its
employees in Japan and the United Kingdom. Benefits under these plans are
generally based on years of service and compensation during the years
immediately preceding retirement. Funding is predicated on minimum
contributions as required by local laws and regulations plus additional
amounts, if any, as may be deemed appropriate. Some employees of other foreign
operations also participate in postemployment benefit arrangements not subject
to the provisions of FASB Statement No. 87.

In addition to pension benefits, the Company sponsors other defined
benefit postretirement plans in the U.S. which provide medical and life
insurance benefits for certain hourly and salaried employees. Benefits are
provided on a noncontributory basis for those salaried retirees who have
attained the age of 55 with 15 years of service and those hourly retirees who
have attained the age of 60 with 15 years of service or 30 years of service
with no age restriction, up to 65 years of age. Coverage is also provided for
surviving spouses of hourly retirees. Medical plans for both employee groups
incorporate deductibles and coinsurance features. The plans are unfunded, and
postretirement benefit claims and premiums are paid as incurred.
Company-sponsored postretirement benefits are not available to employees of
foreign subsidiaries.
Components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost are shown below.
Net periodic cost associated with retiree life insurance benefits amounted to
$269,000 in 1995, $314,000 in 1994, and $296,000 in 1993.

The weighted-average annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita
cost of covered benefits in the medical plans, or health care cost trend rate,
was 10.0 percent for 1995 and 12.0 percent for 1994. The trend rate is assumed
to decrease gradually to 5.5 percent in the year 2005 and remain at that level
thereafter. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rate by one
percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation as of October 31, 1995 by $1,728,300 and the aggregate of
service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit
cost for 1995 by $48,200. The weighted-average discount rate used in
determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 7.25 percent
and 8.5 percent at October 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The annual
assumed rate of salary increase for retiree life insurance is 4.5 percent at
October 31, 1995 and October 31, 1994.

fees increased net income by $365,000 or $.02 per share in the first quarter of
1994.
Effective with the third quarter of 1994, financial results include the
operations of ORSTA Hydraulik acquired by the Company on May 3, 1994 (see Note
K). Third and fourth quarter results also include charges related to the
closure and consolidation of certain previously existing company facilities in
Europe and the U.S. These charges decreased net income by $2,515,000 or $.17
per share in the third quarter and $1,275,000 or $.08 per share in the fourth
quarter. Income from discontinued operations in the third quarter of 1994 of
$5,462,000 represents the elimination of income tax accruals no longer required
that relate to a business written off in 1989 which was treated as a
discontinued operation.
Earnings per share are computed independently for each of the quarters
presented. Therefore, the sum of the quarterly earnings per share do not
necessarily equal the total for the year.

NOTE J - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair value disclosures of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance
sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value.
Long and short-term debt: The carrying amounts of the Company's
borrowings under its short-term credit agreements approximate their fair value.
The fair values of the long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow
analysis, based on the Company's incremental borrowing rates for similar types
of borrowing arrangements.
Foreign currency exchange contracts: The Company utilizes foreign
currency exchange contracts to minimize the impact of currency fluctuations on
transactions. At October 31, 1995, the Company and its subsidiaries held
contracts for $9,478,000 with a fair value of $9,408,000. The fair values of
these foreign currency exchange contracts are estimated based on quoted
exchange rates at October 31, 1995.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial
instruments at October 31, 1995 are as follows:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
From time to time, the Company makes loans to its foreign subsidiaries
denominated in the subsidiaries' functional currencies. Generally, these loans
are made when the Company can borrow at lower interest rate spreads than are
available to the subsidiary in its local market. Foreign currency forward
contracts are used to hedge the Company's receipt of principal and interest due
from the loans. The forward contracts are an effective hedge against
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency. Therefore, the contracts
have no income statement impact.

NOTE K - ACQUISITIONS
HALL F&D HEAD COMPANY
Effective January 31, 1995, the Company acquired the assets of Hall F&D
Head Company, a producer of medium and large diameter bump and spun metal
products, located in Saginaw, Texas. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase transaction, and therefore, included in the accompanying financial
statements since the acquisition date. Pro forma financial results are not
provided herein because the impact of sales and net earnings on consolidated
amounts is immaterial.
ORSTA HYDRAULIK
Effective May 3, 1994 (the "acquisition date"), the Company acquired the
stock of Sachsenhydraulik Chemnitz GmbH ("SHC") and its wholly owned subsidiary
(Hydraulik Rochlitz GmbH), which are known as ORSTA Hydraulik. ORSTA is a
manufacturer of hydraulic cylinders, piston and gear pumps and industrial
valves. The stock was acquired from the Treuhandanstalt, the regulatory agency
of the Federal Republic of Germany responsible for the privatization of the
former East German state-owned enterprises. The acquisition has been accounted
for as a purchase transaction; therefore, the accounts are included in the
accompanying financial statements since the acquisition date. Pro forma
financial results are not provided herein since the companies acquired operated
in a different environment under the Treuhandanstalt control.
Under terms of the Agreement, the Company tendered no financial
consideration to acquire the stock of SHC and its wholly owned subsidiary but
received, in addition to the net business assets of the two companies, cash
contributions of 59.0 million Deutsche marks (approximately U.S. $36.0 million)
to fund pre-existing capital investment programs and to cover estimated
operating losses over a period of two years. This additional consideration was
negotiated with the Treuhandanstalt based on the financial position of the
acquired companies as of January 1, 1994 (the "measurement date"). Cash
contributions available to the Company on the acquisition date were adjusted
for funds consumed by the operations during the interim period between the
measurement and acquisition dates. Details of investment on the acquisition
date are as follows:

ITEM 8. (Continued)
NOTE K - ACQUISITIONS (Continued)
In addition to the cash acquired at the acquisition date, a balance of
44.1 million Deutsche marks (approximately U.S. $28.5 million) was receivable
from the Treuhandanstalt in regard to the original cash contribution during
fiscal 1995 and 1994. Of the funds provided by the Treuhandanstalt since the
acquisition date, 33.8 million Deutsche marks (approximately U.S. $22.6
million) were consumed by operating losses from May 3, 1994 to October 31, 1995
and 20.8 million Deutsche marks (approximately U.S. $14.5 million) were used to
fund the pre-existing capital investment program.
The Company agreed to the following obligations and guarantees with
respect to the operation of the acquired businesses:
a) to maintain a minimum employment level for a period
of three years; the level stipulated by the Agreement
is considered by the Company to be reasonable and
necessary for the intended use of the business,
b) to invest 39.0 million Deutsche marks (approximately
U.S. $23.6 million) in capital programs over a period
of four years,
c) to continue to operate the businesses for a minimum
of five years, and
d) to refrain from selling or transferring acquired land
and buildings for a period of six years.
Of the total 59.0 million Deutsche mark cash contribution to be received
(as calculated on the measurement date of January 1, 1994), 51.5 million
Deutsche marks was designed as an indemnification of estimated operating losses
over a period of two years from acquisition. The amount of operating loss
indemnification available to the Company was adjusted for cash consumed by the
ORSTA operations between the measurement date and the acquisition date. The
operating loss indemnification is being amortized based on estimated operating
results of the ORSTA Hydraulik operations as determined on May 3, 1994. The
quarterly amortization value will remain unchanged as actual results are
reported and will be translated from Deutsche marks into U.S. dollars at the
average exchange rate for the period. The deferred credit on the balance sheet
is translated at end-of-period rate.

NOTE L - PREFERRED STOCK
During fiscal 1990, the Company designated two separate series of
preferred shares as follows:
Series A Participating Preferred Shares
- ---------------------------------------
On November 29, 1989, the Company created a new class of stock, Series A
Participating Preferred Shares (the Series A) and adopted a Shareholder Rights
Plan (the Plan). The Plan is designed to protect shareholders from the
disruptions created by market accumulators and certain abusive takeover
practices. The Plan provides for the distribution of one preferred share
purchase right as a dividend for each outstanding share of common stock. Each
right, when exercisable, entitles shareholders to buy one one-hundredth of a
share of the Series A preferred stock for $75. Each one one-hundredth of a
share of preferred stock is intended to be the practical economic equivalent of
a share of common stock and will have one one-hundredth of a vote on all
matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company. Until the rights
become exercisable, they have no dilutive effect on earnings per share.
The rights may be exercised, in general, only if a person
or group acquires 20 percent or more of the common stock without the prior
approval of the Board of Directors of the Company or announces a tender or
exchange offer that would result in ownership of 20 percent or more of the
common stock. In the event of the acquisition of 20 percent or more of the
common stock without the prior approval of the Board, all rights holders except
the acquirer may purchase the common stock of the Company having a value of
twice the exercise price of the rights. If the Company is acquired in a
merger, after the acquisition of 20 percent of the voting power of the Company,
rights holders except the acquirer may purchase shares in the acquiring company
at a similar discount. The Plan was not adopted in response to any pending
takeover proposal, and the rights will expire on November 29, 1999.

<PAGE> 33
ITEM 8. (Continued)
NOTE L - Preferred Stock (Continued)
Series B ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock
- -----------------------------------------
On February 14, 1990, the Company established two newly-formed leveraged
employee stock ownership plans (the ESOPs) and sold to the ESOPs 1,074,107
shares of a newly created cumulative ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock Series B
(the Series B) for a total of $24,973,000. The ESOPs currently cover most
domestic salaried employees and certain domestic hourly employees. The
remaining Series B shares are convertible into 1,301,082 shares of common stock
at any time (1.235 shares of common stock for each Series B share), subject to
anti-dilution adjustments. The Series B shares are entitled to one vote per
share and will vote together with the common stock as a single class. The
Series B shares are held by a trustee which votes the allocated shares as
directed by Plan participants. Unallocated shares held by the trustee are
voted in the same proportion as are the allocated shares. Annual dividends are
$1.97625 per share. The ESOPs have borrowed to purchase the Series B shares,
and the Company guaranteed the repayment of the remaining outstanding balance
of that loan.
The Company paid to the ESOPs $2,084,000 in 1995 ($2,097,000 in 1994 and
$2,109,000 in 1993) in preferred stock dividends and accrued or paid an
additional $1,787,000 in 1995 ($1,310,000 in 1994 and $1,036,000 in 1993) in
Company match of employees' contributions to the plan and to cover amounts
sufficient to meet the debt service. These expenses were determined on the
shares allocated method. In turn, the ESOPs made debt service payments of
$2,364,000 in 1995, $2,366,000 in 1994, and $1,841,000 in 1993, primarily for
interest charges.

Item 8. (continued)
Note M - Subsequent Events (Unaudited)
On July 11, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company determined to proceed
with a plan to spin-off 100% of the stock of the Company's Cuno Incorporated
fluid filtration and purification subsidiary to the Company's shareholders (the
"Spin-Off"), subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of an
opinion of counsel with respect to the tax-free nature of the Spin-Off. The
Board also unanimously approved a program to repurchase up to 2,500,000 common
shares in open market and privately negotiated transactions (the "Repurchase
Program"). The Company executed on July 12, 1996, a bridge credit agreement
providing for an unsecured revolving bridge facility of up to $60,000,000, of
which $55,000,000 can be used to repurchase common shares.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors
Shareholders and Board of Directors
Commercial Intertech Corp.
Youngstown, Ohio
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Commercial
Intertech Corp. and subsidiaries as of October 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related statements of consolidated income, shareholders' equity and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 1995. Our audits
also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item
14(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Commercial
Intertech Corp. and subsidiaries at October 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended October 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.
