                         Report of Independent Auditors


Administrative Committee
Commercial Intertech Retirement Stock
   Ownership and Savings Plan


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Commercial Intertech Retirement Stock Ownership and Savings
Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statement
of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended
December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan'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 net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan
at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its net assets available for
plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental Schedule of Assets
Held for Investment Purposes as of December 31, 1995, and Schedule of
Reportable Transactions for the year ended December 31, 1995, are presented for
purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, and are not a required part of the financial statements. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit
of the 1995 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the 1995 financial statements taken as a
whole.

                           Ownership and Savings Plan

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          Year Ended December 31, 1995



A.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accounting records of the Commercial Intertech Retirement Stock Ownership
and Savings Plan (the "Plan") are maintained on the accrual basis.

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

Investments consisting of Commercial Intertech Corp. (the "Company") common
shares (Commercial Intertech Common Stock Fund) are carried at the closing
market price on the last business day of the year. Investments consisting of
Convertible Series B Preferred Stock ("Preferred Shares") are valued by an
independent appraiser. Currently, the independent appraiser uses the greater of
1.235 of the price of Company common stock as of the last business day of the
year or $23.25, the price guaranteed to the Plan participants by the Company.

Investments in unallocated insurance contracts (CIGNA Guaranteed Account) are
valued at contract value as determined by Connecticut General Life Insurance
Company. Investments in registered investment company funds (Fidelity
Intermediate Bond Fund, Fidelity Balanced Fund, Fidelity U.S. Equity Index
Fund, and Fidelity Growth Company Fund) are carried at the value of their
underlying assets as determined by Fidelity Management Trust Company.
Participant loans receivable are valued at cost which approximates fair value.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the administrator to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                    Notes to Financial Statements-Continued


B.     DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Plan consists of a pre-tax savings program, a post-tax savings program and
a leveraged matching employee stock ownership plan. All employees of designated
subsidiaries, with at least one year of service, are eligible to participate in
the Plan. The Plan is subject to the applicable provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). The leveraged
matching employee stock ownership features of the Plan were designed to comply
with Section 4975(e)(7) and the regulations thereunder of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code").

Under the pre-tax program, participants may elect to contribute up to 15% of
their compensation, on a tax-deferred basis, to the Plan. Under the post-tax
program, participants may elect to contribute up to an additional 10% of their
compensation. These contributions are made with after-tax dollars and do not
receive Company matching contributions. Employee contributions are accrued as
income by the Plan as they are earned by the participants. A 50% Company
matching contribution, made in Common and Preferred Shares, is applied to the
first 6% of a participant's tax-deferred contribution (see Note I).

The Plan provides for separate investment options in one or more funds as
directed by the participants. Participants may change investment options once
every two months. At December 31, 1995, 1,246 individuals participated in the
CIGNA Guaranteed Account (1,180--1994), 656 individuals participated in the
Commercial Intertech Common Stock Account Fund (548--1994), 437 individuals
participated in the Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund (392--1994), 592
individuals participated in the Fidelity Balanced Fund (546--1994), 468
individuals participated in the Fidelity U.S. Equity Index Fund (366--1994),
and 745 individuals participated in the Fidelity Growth Company Fund
(610--1994).

All investment account dollars that result from employee contributions and
related investment results are immediately vested.

B.     DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN--CONTINUED

Company matching contributions and related investment results vest according to
the following schedule:

</TABLE>                                                    

Participants become fully vested in Company matching contributions upon
attainment of their normal retirement date, or upon their death or disability.
If the participant's employment with the Company terminates for other reasons,
and the participant elects to receive distribution of his or her account, the
vested portion of his or her account is distributed to the participant and the
non-vested portion of the participant's account will be treated as a forfeiture
if the employee experiences a break in service greater than five years.
Non-vested assets attributable to terminated employees amounted to $26,676 at
December 31, 1995.

The Plan also provides for withdrawal in cases of financial hardship, upon
attainment of age 59-1/2, and of the post-tax savings program contributions.
Participating employees may borrow up to the lesser of 50% of their account
balance attributable to employee contributions or $50,000. The amount borrowed
is repaid to the participant's account via payroll deductions and carries an
interest charge at the market rate of interest.

B.     DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN--CONTINUED

The Plan purchased the Preferred Shares, which are held in a trust established
under the Plan, in 1990 using the proceeds of a $14.3 million borrowing
guaranteed by the Company. In June 1993, the loan was refinanced through the
placement of 7.08% Senior Notes (the "Notes"), totaling $13,240,994, with two
insurance company lenders. The Notes, which are guaranteed by the Company,
provide for repayment through 2009. In addition, the Notes are collateralized
by the unallocated Preferred Shares. Scheduled payments of principal under this
agreement at December 31, 1995 are as follows:

<TABLE>

                     1998                                     600,108 
                     1999                                     642,596 
                     2000                                     688,092 
                     Thereafter                             8,854,896 
</TABLE>                                         

Each year dividends on the Preferred Shares (allocated and unallocated) and
Company contributions to the Plan are used to repay the Notes.

As the Plan makes each payment of principal and interest each year, an
appropriate number of Preferred Shares are allocated to eligible employees'
accounts in accordance with matching provisions noted above.

The financial statements of the Plan present separately the assets and
liabilities and changes therein pertaining to:

       a.     The accounts of employees with vested rights in allocated stock
              (Allocated) and

       b.     Stock not yet allocated to employees (Unallocated).

Preferred Shares distributed to participants are converted to Company common
stock based upon a predetermined formula set forth in the Company's Amended
Articles of Incorporation. Benefits payable to participants represent the fair
value of vested common stock and cash in terminated participants' accounts,
after conversion of Preferred Shares.

B.     DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN--CONTINUED

Each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to the
shares allocated to his or her account and to exercise proportional voting
rights of unallocated Preferred Shares. Each participant is notified prior to
the time that such rights are to be exercised.

The Plan is administered by the Administrative Committee (the "Committee")
appointed by the Company's Board of Directors. The trust department of Mellon
Bank, N.A., an independent third-party bank, is the Plan's trustee. The Company
has the sole right to appoint the trustee, and to terminate the Plan, subject
to the provisions of ERISA. The Company pays all significant administrative
expenses.

Upon termination of the Plan, amounts credited to each participant's account
shall be 100% vested and nonforfeitable. Additionally, the interest of each
participant in the trust fund will be distributed to such participant or his or
her beneficiary at the time prescribed by the Plan terms and the Code.

The foregoing description of the Plan provides only general information.
Additional information about the Plan agreement, allocation of Preferred
Shares, forfeitures and distributions from the Plan may be obtained from the
Committee.

                    Notes to Financial Statements-Continued




H.     EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS

The Company is obligated to make contributions in cash to the Plan which, when
aggregated with the Plan's dividends on Preferred Shares and interest earnings,
equal the amount necessary to enable the Plan to make its regularly scheduled
payments of principal and interest due on its Notes. This contribution enables
the Plan to allocate an appropriate number of Preferred Shares to participants
(see Note B). Should the value of Preferred Shares allocated be less than the
required matching contribution, the Company will make additional contributions
to the Plan in the form of common stock or cash. Should the value of Preferred
Shares allocated be more than the required matching contributions, any excess
value of Preferred Shares released over the required amount will be allocated
proportionately to each participant's account in the Plan based upon the ratio
of the participant's current Company matching contribution to the Plan for the
plan year to the aggregate Company matching contributions to the Plan for all
participants for the Plan year.

I.     PLAN AMENDMENT

Effective January 1, 1995, the Plan was amended to allow the 50% Company match
to be applied to participant tax-deferred contributions not exceeding 6% of the
participants' eligible compensation. Prior to this amendment, the Company
matching contribution on a participant's tax-deferred contribution was limited
to $1,350. The amendment had an immaterial effect on net assets available for
Plan benefits.
