To the Board of Directors
of Burks Pumps, Inc. and
the Partners of Harbour Group

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and
the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in
stockholders' equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Burks Pumps, Inc.
and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1992, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the year in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.  We conducted our audit of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which 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, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

As explained in Note 13, on December 29, 1993, Crane Co. acquired
the outstanding common stock of Burks Pumps, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.        Organization

          Burks Pumps, Inc. (the Company or Burks), a Delaware
          corporation, is 93% owned by Harbour Group Investments, L.P.
          (HGI, L.P.), a Missouri limited partnership.  The remaining
          7% of outstanding stock is held by members of Burks and HGI,
          L.P. management.  The Company is engaged in the manufacture
          and sale of specialty industrial systems pumps, wastewater
          pumping equipment, pumps for military applications and
          engineered cleaning equipment, and centrifugal pumps.

          As more fully described in Note 3, on September 30, 1992 the
          Company sold its Water Systems Division.  Concurrent with the
          sale, the Company acquired the net assets of Barnes Pumps Canada,
          Inc. (BPC).

          As more fully described in Note 4, on November 22, 1991, the
          Company acquired substantially all of the net assets of AMW
          Industries, Inc. (AMW).

          The Company operates manufacturing facilities in Decatur,
          Illinois; Piqua, Ohio, and Bramalea, Canada, and formerly in
          Conway, Arkansas.

2.        Summary of significant accounting policies

          The significant accounting policies followed by Burks are
          described below and are in conformity with generally accepted
          accounting principles:

          Principles of consolidation
          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
          Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Barnes Pumps, Inc. and
          Barnes Pumps Canada, Inc.  Results of operations for AMW and
          Barnes Pumps Canada, Inc. have been included since their
          respective dates of acquisition.  All significant intercompany
          transactions and balances are eliminated.  Results of
          discontinued operations have been presented separately as
          described in Note 3.

          Revenue recognition
          Revenue from the sale of the Company's products is recognized
          upon shipment to the customer.  Costs and related expenses to
          manufacture the Company's products are recorded as costs of sales
          when the related revenue is recognized.

          Cash and cash equivalents
          For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the
          Company considers all highly liquid investments with 
          original maturity of three months or less to be cash
          equivalents.  A book cash overdraft on the Company's
          disbursement account in the amount of $314,058 at December
          31, 1992 is included in accounts payable.

          Concentrations of credit risk
          The Company sells its products to a wide range of industries in
          which its pumps are utilized.  In addition, most of the Company's
          business activity is with customers located within North America. 
          The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers
          and generally does not require collateral.  The Company maintains
          reserves for potential credit losses and historically such losses
          have been within management's expectations.  At December 31,
          1992, the Company had no significant concentrations of credit
          risk.

          Inventories
          Inventories, which include the cost of materials, direct labor
          and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost,
          determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for
          substantially all inventories, or market.

          If the FIFO method (which approximates replacement cost) had been
          used in determining cost for all inventories, inventories would
          have been approximately the same at December 31, 1992 due to a
          LIFO reserve of $520,496 being less than the reserves for excess
          and obsolete inventories used in determining replacement cost. 
          Obsolete or unsalable inventories are reflected at their
          estimated realizable values.

          Property, plant and equipment
          Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and is
          depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated
          useful lives of the assets which range from 3 to 31.5 years. 
          Properties held under capital leases are recorded at the present
          value of the non-cancelable lease payments over the term of the
          lease and are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the
          estimated useful lives of the assets.

          Expenditures for repairs, maintenance and renewals are charged to
          income as incurred.  Expenditures which improve an asset or
          extend its estimated useful life are capitalized.  When
          properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost
          and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and
          any gain or loss is included in income.

          Intangible assets
          The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net
          assets acquired in a business combination (goodwill) is
          capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 
          years.  Amortization charged to income for the year ended
          December 31, 1992 was $315,036.   Accumulated amortization at
          December 31, 1992 was $1,397,089.

          Costs incurred in obtaining intellectual property rights
          (principally engineering drawings) have been deferred and are
          being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.

          Amortization charged to income for the year ended
          December 31, 1992 was $42,956.   Accumulated amortization at
          December 31, 1992 was $118,143.

          Costs incurred in connection with non-competition agreements have
          been deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis
          over the lives of the agreements.  Amortization charged to income
          for the year ended December 31, 1992 was $516,000.  Accumulated
          amortization at December 31, 1992 was $1,429,000.

          Other assets
          Costs incurred in obtaining financing have been deferred and are
          being amortized over the life of the related obligation. 
          Amortization charged to income for the year ended December 31,
          1992 was $80,000.  Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1992
          was $167,500.

          Income taxes
          The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return which
          includes its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  The provision for income
          taxes is based on consolidated income and expenses of the Company
          for financial reporting purposes.  Deferred income taxes are
          provided for timing differences between financial and income tax
          reporting.  

          In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
          issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
          "Accounting for Income Taxes," which establishes financial
          accounting and reporting standards for income taxes that result
          from an enterprise's activities during the current and preceding
          years.  It requires an asset and liability approach for financial
          accounting and reporting for income taxes.  This statement will
          be adopted by the Company for its year ending December 31, 1993;
          management has estimated the cumulative effect of adoption of the
          new statement on the Company at January 1, 1993 to be a charge of
          approximately $200,000.

          Foreign currency translation
          The accounts of Barnes Pumps Canada, Inc., are measured using the
          Canadian dollar as the functional currency.  Assets and
          liabilities of the Canadian operations are translated into United
          States dollars at period-end exchange rates.  Operating results
          are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the
          year.  Net unrealized gains or losses on translation of foreign
          currency financial statements are recorded in stockholders'
          equity, as a cumulative translation adjustment, and will be
          included in income only upon sale or liquidation of underlying
          assets.

          Earnings per share information
          Given the historical organization and capital structure of the
          Company, earnings per share information is not considered
          meaningful or relevant and has not been presented in the

          accompanying consolidated financial statements or the notes
          thereto.

          Other postemployment benefits
          In December 1990, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
          Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employer's Accounting for
          Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions (OPEB)," which
          establishes financial and reporting standards for OPEB
          liabilities.  It requires companies to record on an accrual basis
          the costs of OPEB liabilities, such as health care costs.  This
          statement will be effective for the Company for its year ending
          December 31, 1995.  Management has estimated that the new
          statement will result in an additional obligation of
          approximately $1 million.  Management has not determined whether
          the obligation will be recognized in the year in which the
          statement is adopted or whether it will be amortized on a
          straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of
          active plan participants, not to exceed twenty years.

          In November 1992, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
          Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
          Postemployment Benefits," which establishes accounting standards
          for employers who provide benefits to former or inactive
          employees after employment but before retirement.  This statement
          will be effective for the Company for its year ending December
          31, 1995.  Management does not anticipate that adoption of the
          new statement will have a significant effect on the Company's
          financial position or results of operations.

3.        Sale of Water Systems Division

          On September 30, 1992 the Company sold its Water Systems Division
          for a preliminary sale price of $6,787,778, which approximated
          the historical carrying value of the assets sold.  The loss on
          sale of discontinued operations
          represents income tax expense of $118,195, related primarily
          to differences between the book and tax bases of the
          inventory sold.  In connection with the sale, the Company
          received $350,000 related to a non-competition agreement
          which was accounted for as a deferred credit to be amortized
          to income over the three year life of the agreement.

          The 1992 consolidated statement of income disaggregates sales and
          expenses of discontinued operations from captions applicable to
          continuing operations.  The net loss from discontinued operations
          during the nine-month period ended September 30, 1992 includes
          the write-off of the net book value of certain intangible assets
          related to the Water Systems Division which no longer have value
          to the Company.

        The following is summarized financial information of the
        Water Systems Division for the nine-month period ended
        September 30, 1992:

</TABLE>

        Concurrent with the sale of the Water Systems Division, the
        Company acquired certain net assets, principally inventory, of
        Barnes Pumps Canada, Inc., a firm engaged in the manufacture and
        sale of wastewater pumps in Canada, for a purchase price of
        $594,247.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and
        the purchase price approximated the fair value of the assets
        acquired.  The pro forma effects of this acquisition on the
        Company's results of operations and financial position for 1992
        are not material.

4.      Acquisition of AMW Industries, Inc.

        On November 22, 1991, the Company acquired the net assets of
        AMW for a purchase price of $8,797,957.  The acquisition was
        accounted for as a purchase and was financed through the
        Company's existing debt agreements, as amended.  The purchase
        price was preliminarily assigned to the net assets acquired
        based on their estimated fair value at the date of
        acquisition.  The purchase price allocation was finalized in
        1992.  Such finalization reflects the industrial pump line
        relocation and consolidation expenses ofapproximately
        $2,000,000.  In connection with finalizing the AMW purchase
        price allocation, the fixed assets retained by Burks were
        written up to their estimated fair value as of the date of
        acquisition, with the remaining excess purchase price of
        $1,215,000 reflected as goodwill.  In addition, included in
        the purchase price and in connection with the acquisition,
        the Company paid $225,000 related to a non-competition
        agreement.

      On April 2, 1990, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and
      Term Loan Agreement (the Agreement) with a bank.  On November 21,
      1991, the Company amended the Agreement to provide for the
      acquisition of AMW.  The amendment increased the remaining term
      loan from $2.575 million at November 21, 1991, to $5 million and
      increased quarterly principal payments from $300,000 to $500,000. 
      Borrowings available under the revolving credit facility increased
      from $14 million to $14.5 million.  In addition, the amendment
      adjusted the covenants included in the original Agreement.  During
      1992, the $5 million term loan was repaid with proceeds from the
      sale of the Water Systems Division.

      The Agreement, as amended, contains restrictive covenants relating
      to working capital, debt to tangible net worth, interest expense,
      capital expenditures, cash dividends, incurrence of additional
      indebtedness and sale of assets and prohibits any guaranty,
      endorsement or contingent liability with respect to the obligation
      or liability of any other person.  The Company was in compliance
      with these restrictive covenants at December 31, 1992, or waivers
      have been obtained for all covenants for which the Company was not
      in compliance.  The Agreement requires neither a commitment fee nor
      compensating account balance.  Borrowings under the Agreement are
      secured by property, plant and equipment, inventories and
      receivables.

      On August 1, 1990 the Company entered into a Note Agreement (Note
      Agreement) with an insurance company which replaced the previous
      note agreement.  The Note Agreement with the insurance company for
      the senior subordinated notes contains covenants which are less
      restrictive than the Agreement.  On November 21, 1991, the Note
      Agreement was amended to provide for the acquisition of AMW.  The
      amendment adjusted the repayment terms and covenants included in
      the original Note Agreement.  The Company was in compliance with
      these covenants at December 31, 1992, or waivers have been obtained
      for all covenants for which the Company was not in compliance.  As
      more fully described in Note 10, the insurance company was granted
      warrants under the Note Agreement to purchase 13,303 shares of the
      Company's outstanding common stock.

      The Company has renegotiated certain of the covenants in its
      financing agreements in order to reflect the sale of the Water
      Systems Division.

6.             Lease obligations

      The Company leases its Anaheim, California facility under a non-
      cancelable lease which provides for payment by the Company of
      property taxes and insurance.  The lease has a five-year renewal
      option at the end of the lease term (1995).  The Company does not
      presently utilize the facility for manufacturing operations, and is
      subleasing the facility.  Payments to be received under such
      subleases approximate lease payments made by the Company.

      The Company leases certain of its machinery and equipment under
      non-cancelable lease agreements.  These agreements extend for a
      seven-year term.  The Company also leases its computer system and
      related software under a non-cancelable lease with a five-year
      term.  The leases are reflected in the financial statements as
      capitalized leases in accordance with the requirements of Statement
      of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases."

         tax purposes.

         The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31,

      the actuarial present value of the accumulated benefit obligations
      was 8% for the plan at December 31, 1992.  Plan assets are invested
      in a diversified portfolio that primarily consists of equity and
      debt securities.  The method of valuation used to calculate the
      costs of the plan for pension benefits is the unit credit actuarial
      cost method.  Death and disability benefits are valued under the
      one-year term actuarial cost method.

      The warrants expire December 1, 1997 and none have been
      exercised as of December 31, 1992.  The warrants allow the
      insurance company to require the Company to purchase the
      warrants at any time between September 30, 1992 (the date of the
      sale of the Water Systems Division) and December 1, 1997 at a
      specified formula price.  At the date of issuance, the warrants
      were determined to be equity warrants; however, no amount was
      assigned thereto as their value was estimated to be nominal. 
      The estimated put value of the warrants has increased from a
      nominal amount at December 31, 1991 to $2,186,636 at
      December 31, 1992.  The warrants have been accreted to their
      estimated put value through charges to retained earnings and
      additional paid-in capital of $1,279,054 and $907,582,
      respectively.

13.           Subsequent event

      On December 29, 1993, Crane Co. acquired the outstanding common
      stock of Burks Pumps, Inc. for approximately $70 million. 
      Coincident with the sale of the Company, approximately $6 million
      of the proceeds were placed in escrow to cover potential expenses
      related to environmental and other contingencies.  The Company is
      presently in the process of testing and evaluating any potential
      environmental matters at its production facilities.  Due to the
      preliminary stage of the Company's testing and evaluation process,
      the December 31, 1992 Company financial statements do not reflect
      any liabilities associated with environmental matters.
