             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 - General

         The foregoing financial statements have been prepared from the books
and records of the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, are reflected
in such financial statements.

         These condensed statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1993.

Note 2 - Acquisitions and Discontinuances

         As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report of Form 10-K for
the year ended September 30, 1993, the Company acquired, effective January 1,
1992, from an agency of the German government, a facility in Potsdam-Babelsberg
in the former German Democratic Republic ("GDR").  The facility manufactures
oval gear meters and will produce other Company products.  Acquisition and
related costs, aggregating approximately $4,900,000, are recorded primarily in
property, plant and equipment.  An administrative agency of the German
government has resolved all ownership claims to the assets in favor of the
Company.  However, registration of legal title has been delayed.  This
administrative delay does not affect the Company's ownership of the assets.
Upon registration of legal title in the Company's name, the purchase price,
which is being held in a restricted account, will be released to the seller.

Note 5 - Income Taxes

         The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS 109") effective October
1, 1993, changing the method of determining reported income tax expense.
Adoption of FAS 109 had an immaterial impact on the Company's quarter ended
December 31, 1993.

         The adjustments to the October 1, 1993 balance sheet to adopt FAS 109
resulted in a reclassification from noncurrent deferred tax liability to
current deferred tax asset.  The reclassification is necessary to meet FAS 109
requirements that deferred taxes be classified on the balance sheet based upon
the assets and/or liabilities to which they relate.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

                             Results of Operations

Quarter Ended December 31, 1993 vs. Quarter Ended December 31, 1992

         Consolidated revenues increased 13% to $40,575,000 for the quarter
ended December 31, 1993, from $35,866,000 for the same period last year.  The
Flow Measurement segment posted a 30% increase in revenues to $29,816,000 for
the quarter ended December 31, 1993, compared to $22,892,000 for the same
period last year.  Significant increases in sales of flow measurement products,
which comprised 72% and 83% of this segment's revenues for the respective
periods, and sales of flow measurement systems, are attributable to continued
growth in the worldwide markets for natural gas.  The Energy Products segment
posted a 16% decline in revenues to $10,595,000 for the quarter ended December
31, 1993, compared to $12,678,000 for the same period last year.  Sales of
pipeline valves, which comprised 40% of this segment's revenues in both
periods, decreased due to a more competitive worldwide market as a result of
lower crude oil prices.  Sales of fasteners and related products, which
comprised 47% and 45% of this segment's revenues for the respective periods,
declined due to severe pricing pressures in both the domestic and foreign
markets.  Sales of fabricated production equipment declined due to timing of
completion of orders.

         The consolidated gross profit margin declined to 36% of revenues for
the quarter ended December 31, 1993, compared to 40% of revenues for same
period last year.  The gross profit margin in the Flow Measurement segment
declined two percentage points to 41% of revenues primarily due to a shift in
product mix towards sales of flow measurement systems, which earn lower margins
than sales




                                      7
<PAGE>   8
of flow measurement products.  The gross profit margin in the Energy Products
segment declined to 22% of revenues this year, from 34% of revenues last year,
as a result of current year pricing pressures for both pipeline valve and
fastener products.

         Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased 9%
to $15,387,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1993, compared to the same
period last year.  This increase is due to the reversal of accruals in the
first quarter of fiscal 1993.

         Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense of $1,823,000 for
the quarter ended December 31, 1993 increased 14% compared to the same period
last year.  Additional capital expenditures in fiscal 1993 by the Flow
Measurement segment was principally responsible for this increase.

         Consolidated interest expense decreased 19% to $466,000 for the
quarter ended December 31, 1993, as a result of the retirement of debt.

         The effective tax rate of approximately 30% for the three months ended
December 31, 1993, is less than the U. S. statutory rate primarily due to the
tax benefits associated with the Company's foreign sales corporation.

                        Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At December 31, 1993, the Company's working capital balance was
$66,184,000 compared to $67,209,000 at September 30, 1993.  Although the
Company's working capital position remained relatively unchanged between the
two periods, its cash balance at December 31, 1993 decreased to $13,449,000
from $23,220,000 at September 30, 1993.  This decline in cash was due to
routine uses (i.e.  capital expenditures, reductions in debt and payment of
dividends) as well as the funding of operating activities.  In addition,
inventories increased $3,956,000 reflecting the Company's response to improved
demand for its products and systems.  Current deferred taxes on income of
$3,959,000 were recorded at December 31, 1993 due to a reclassification from
non-current deferred taxes on income as a result of fiscal 1994 implementation
of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes" (see Note 5 of NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS).

         Working capital at December 31, 1993 included $43,402,000 in
inventory, which is not as liquid as other current assets.

         The Company has uncommitted short-term lines of credit aggregating
approximately $40,000,000.  There were no amounts outstanding under these lines
at December 31, 1993.




                                      8
<PAGE>   9
         The Company anticipates capital expenditures in fiscal 1994 of
approximately $14,000,000.  Capital expenditures for the quarter ended December
31, 1993 were $3,373,000.  The Company continues to seek acquisitions that
would expand its existing business.

         The Company considers its financial position to be strong, with a
working capital ratio of 2.9 to 1.0, and debt to total capitalization of 11%.
The Company believes that its current financial position and available lines of
credit will provide ample sources of funds to meet foreseeable requirements.

                          PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in
the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the amount of

business, the Company issues standby letters of credit and bank guarantees as
security for advances, progress payments and performance on long-term
contracts. The Company is contingently liable for such obligations which
amounted to approximately $16,350,000 at December 31, 1993.

Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

         (b)     The Company did not file any report on Form 8-K during the
