     The Company entered into a three year revolving credit agreement in April 1994

                      and Results of Operations
                      -------------------------
           Three Months Ended March 31, 1994 and 1993
           ------------------------------------------


Results From Operations:

First Quarter of 1994 Compared to First Quarter of 1993:

     Sales for the first quarter were up 6 percent to $332 million
     and operating profit was down 21 percent to $14.8 million.
     Including the effect of a higher tax rate, net income was $7.4
     million, or 25 cents per share, down from last year's first
     quarter earnings of $10.8 million, or 36 cents per share. The
     company anticipates that the quarterly comparisons for the
     balance of the year will be more favorable.
  
     The increase in sales was primarily due to the Filon and Burks
     acquisitions, plus increased quarterly sales at Huttig, which
     together more than offset sales declines at Hydro-Aire and
     National Vendors. The resultant operating profit reduction at
     these latter two businesses more than offset increased operating
     profit contributions from those Crane businesses with higher
     sales.

     Engineered Industrial Products, Crane's largest business
     segment, had sales of $179.9 million for the first quarter of
     1994, 5 percent above last year's quarter but operating profit
     of $16.7 million was 16 percent lower than the $19.9 million
     reported in the first quarter last year. Kemlite's results
     remained strong in the quarter, continuing to benefit from the
     Filon acquisition, with earnings more than double the prior
     year's level on an 87 percent increase in shipments. Sales to
     Kemlite's principal markets, truck trailer transportation,
     recreational vehicle and building products, showed significant
     improvement. Crane Pumps & Systems was significantly
     strengthened by the acquisition of Burks Pumps, with sales up
     $14.7 million from the prior year. Crane Pumps now markets ten
     different pump lines to niche markets, serving the processing,
     industrial, municipal and construction industries. In addition,
     Crane Valves had improved sales and earnings worldwide compared
     to the prior year.

     These improvements were more than offset by lower results at
     Hydro-Aire and National Vendors. Hydro-Aire's sales were 33
     percent below the 1993 level as it adjusted its shipment levels
     to changes in production schedules at the major airframe
     manufacturers. National Vendors' quarterly sales declined $6.9
     million due entirely to the absence of a post office commodity
     vendor contract this year.

           Three Months Ended March 31, 1994 and 1993
           ------------------------------------------      

Results From Operations:

     The Wholesale Distribution segment sales increased 7 percent,
     but operating profit was $1.2 million, compared to $1.8 million
     in the same period last year. Though Huttig increased sales for
     the quarter, profits were down slightly due to unfavorable
     commodity millwork prices and bad weather. Profits at Canada
     Supply were down due to lower sales volume.

     Miscellaneous income increased $.2 million from last year due
     to gains on the sale of capital assets.
                                                           
     Interest expense increased $.8 million due to higher 
     borrowing levels and lower bank interest income.  

     The effective tax rate increased to 40.5% compared to 36.8% in
     1993. The increase was due to the 1% rate increase from 34% to
     35% the lack of foreign tax carrybacks at Crane's German
     operation, and a favorable adjustment in 1993 due to the
     adoption of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.

     The Company adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
     Postemployment Benefits," in January 1994 which had no
     material effect on earnings and financial position.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

     During the first quarter of 1994 the company generated $12.0
     million of cash from operating activities, compared to $11.4
     million for the same period of 1993. The company's financial
     position remained strong, with net debt at 50 percent of
     capital. The current ratio decreased to 1.7 from 2.0 with
     working capital totaling $185 million and $202 million in 1994
     and 1993, respectively. Interest coverage decreased to 4.7,
     compared to 7.0 at March 31, 1993. At March 31, 1994 the company
     had unused credit lines of $187 million. 

     In the first quarter the company purchased ELDEC Corporation  
     for a cost of $94 million. ELDEC designs and manufactures a
     variety of electronic systems and components for the aerospace
     market, with the dominant market position in proximity switches
     and fuel flowmeters. 

     On April 27th Crane successfully completed its all-cash tender
     offer for Mark Controls Corporation at a total cost of
     approximately $142,500,000, including debt assumed and
     transaction costs. Mark Controls is a manufacturer of fluid
     control products and will be a positive addition to our global
     valve business.

    Concurrent with the acquisition of Mark Controls Corporation, 
     Crane entered into a $200,000,000 three year revolving credit     
     agreement with certain banks and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company
