              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 on 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.  Because of the volume of business in the land
registration office, registration of legal title to the facility and associated
assets has been delayed.  This administrative delay does not affect the
Company's ownership rights.  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 3 - Inventories

         Major components of inventories include:

         Inventory reductions in fiscal 1993 resulted in liquidations of LIFO
inventory layers carried at lower costs prevailing in prior periods as compared
with current costs, the effect of which increased earnings by approximately
$.01 per share, for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 1993.

Note 5 - Income Taxes

         Effective October 1, 1993, the Company adopted the Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
("FAS 109").  Information on the adoption of FAS 109 is set forth in Note 5 of
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS of the Company's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 1993.


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

                             Results of Operations
Six Months Ended March 31, 1994 vs. Six Months Ended March 31, 1993

        Consolidated revenues increased 13% to $89,207,000 for the six months
ended March 31, 1994, from $78,978,000 for the same period last year.  The Flow
Measurement segment posted a 34% increase in revenues to $65,913,000 for the
current period, compared to $49,202,000 for the same period last year.  A
significant portion of the increase in sales of flow measurement systems, which
comprised 34% and 19% of this segment's revenues in the respective periods,
were related to construction of liquid and gas metering systems destined
primarily for the North Sea and Europe.  Sales of flow measurement products
increased 10% reflecting increased demand for the Company's metering products,
primarily in foreign markets.  The Energy Products segment experienced a 21%
decline in revenues to $23,033,000 for the current period, compared to
$29,248,000 for the

<PAGE>   7
same period last year. Sales of pipeline valves, which comprised 41%
and 47% of this segment's revenues in the respective periods, decreased due to
a more competitive worldwide market as a result of lower crude oil prices. 
Sales of fasteners, which comprised 45% and 40% of this segment's revenues in
the respective periods, declined due to severe pricing pressures from both
domestic and foreign-sourced competitors.

         The Company's revenues from foreign markets represented 60% of total
revenues for the six months ended March 31, 1994, compared to 50% of revenues
for the same period last year.  The Company expects this trend to continue
throughout the fiscal year.

         The consolidated gross profit margin declined to 34% of revenues for
the six months ended March 31, 1994, compared to 41% of revenues for the same
period last year.  The gross profit margin in the Flow Measurement segment
declined five percentage points to 38% of revenues primarily due to a shift in
product mix towards sales of flow measurement systems, which earn lower margins
than sales of flow measurement products.  The gross profit margin in the Energy
Products segment declined to 22% of revenues this year, from 35% of revenues
last year as a result of current year pricing pressures for both pipeline valve
and fastener products and a change in inventory reserves.

         Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased 5%
to $30,591,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1994, compared to the same
period last year.  However, these expenses, as a percentage of revenues,
declined three percentage points to 34% of revenues for the current period.
The Flow Measurement segment's expenses declined significantly to 29% of
revenues because a comparatively larger portion of those revenues was
attributable to sales of flow measurement systems which have lower sales
commissions than do sales of flow measurement products.  The Energy Products
segment's expenses increased four percentage points to 31% of revenues since
certain of these expenses are fixed and do not decrease proportionately with
revenues.  Corporate expenses increased 48% to $4,112,000 primarily because of
reversals in the prior year of reserves associated with settled litigation.

         Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense of $3,696,000 for
the six months ended March 31, 1994 increased 16% compared to the same period
last
<PAGE>   8
year due to additional capital expenditures in fiscal 1993 in both the
Flow Measurement and Energy Products segments.

         Consolidated interest expense decreased 24% to $876,000 for the six
months ended March 31, 1994, as a result of the retirement of debt.

         The effective tax rate of approximately 27% for the six months ended
March 31, 1994, is less than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the tax
benefits associated with the Company's foreign sales corporation.

Quarter Ended March 31, 1994 vs. Quarter Ended March 31, 1993

         Consolidated revenues increased 13% to $48,632,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 1994, from $43,112,000 for the same period last year.  The Flow
Measurement segment posted a 37% increase in revenues to $36,097,000 for the
current period, compared to $26,310,000 for the same period last year.  This
change is primarily attributable to significant increases in revenues of flow
measurement systems, which comprised 39% and 21% of this segment's revenues in
the respective periods.  The Energy Products segment posted a 25% decline in
revenues to $12,438,000 for the current quarter, compared to $16,570,000 for
the same period last year.  Sales of pipeline valves, which comprised 43% and
52% of this segment's revenues in the respective periods, decreased due to a
continuing competitive worldwide market as a result of lower crude oil prices.
Sales of fasteners, which comprised 44% and 35% of this segment's revenues in
the respective periods, declined due to continued pricing pressures from both
domestic and foreign-sourced competitors.

         The consolidated gross profit margin declined to 33% of revenues for
the quarter ended March 31, 1994, compared to 41% of revenues for the same
period last year.  The gross profit margin in the Flow Measurement segment
declined eight percentage points to 36% of revenues primarily due to a shift in
product mix towards sales of flow measurement systems, which earn lower margins
than sales of flow measurement products.  The gross profit margin in the Energy
Products segment declined to 22% of revenues in the current quarter, compared
to 35% of revenues last year as a result of current year pricing pressures for
both pipeline valve and fastener products and operational inefficiencies at the
fastener operation.
<PAGE>   9
        Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense of $15,204,000
for the quarter ended March 31, 1994, remained relatively unchanged from
$15,077,000 reported for the same period last year.  These expenses, as a
percentage of revenues, declined four percentage points to 31% of revenues for
the current quarter.

        Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense of $1,873,000 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1994 increased 18% compared to the same period last
year due to additional capital expenditures in fiscal 1993 in both the Flow
Measurement and Energy Products segments.

        Consolidated interest expense decreased 29% to $410,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 1994, as a result of the retirement of debt.

        The effective tax rate of approximately 44% for the quarter ended March
31, 1994, is greater than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to losses at
the Company's German operation for which no tax benefits are currently
recognized.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        At March 31, 1994, the Company's working capital balance was
$65,371,000 compared to $67,209,000 at September 30, 1993. Although the
Company's working capital position decreased slightly between the two periods,
its cash balance declined significantly from $23,220,000 at September 30, 1993
to $7,185,000 at March 30, 1994.  This decrease 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.  Inventories and costs in excess
of billings on contracts in progress increased an aggregate of $13,597,000,
reflecting the improved demand for the Company's products and systems.  
Current deferred taxes on income of $4,022,000 at March 31, 1994 are
attributable to a reclassification from non-current deferred taxes on income as
a result of fiscal 1994 implementation of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (see Note 5 of NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS).

        Working capital at March 31, 1994 included $49,733,000 in inventory,
which is not as liquid as other current assets.



<PAGE>   10
        At March 31, 1994, the Company had uncommitted short-term lines of
credit aggregating approximately $40,000,000.  Subsequent to that date,
primarily due to outlays of cash prior to shipment and payment for the sale of
a large measurement system, $5,000,000 was borrowed under these lines to
finance working capital needs. These borrowings, the latest of which matures
in early June 1994, are at an average weighted interest rate of 4.4%. While
the Company expects its borrowing requirements to increase somewhat over the
near term, the timing of one or a few major expenditures or receipts may affect
the level of borrowings at a particular point in time. The Company considers
its financial position to be strong and believes that its current financial
position and available lines of credit will provide ample sources of funds to
meet foreseeable requirements.

         The Company anticipates capital expenditures in fiscal 1994 of
approximately $14,000,000. Capital expenditures for the six months ended March
31, 1994 were $6,631,000. The Company continues to seek acquisitions that
would expand its existing business.
