Note 5 - Notes Payable

         At December 31, 1994, the Company had uncommitted short-term lines of
credit aggregating approximately $40,000,000.  Loans under these lines may be
made in such amounts and at such maturities and interest rates as are offered
by banks and accepted by the Company at the time of each borrowing.  At
December 31, 1994, borrowings under these lines were $10,250,000.  These
borrowings were at a weighted average interest rate of 6.65% and were due on
January 3, 1995.  These borrowings were subsequently replaced with other
borrowings under these lines.


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

                             Results of Operations

Three Months Ended December 31, 1994 vs. Three Months Ended December 31, 1993

         Consolidated revenues increased 4% to $42,298,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 1994.  Revenues in the flow measurement segment were
$29,716,000 for the current quarter compared to revenues of $29,816,000 for the
same period last year.  Within the flow measurement segment, the mix of
revenues among metering equipment, electronics products and flow measurement
systems remained at approximately 50%, 25% and 25% of revenues, respectively,
unchanged from the same period last year.  The energy products segment posted
an 18% increase in revenues to $12,532,000 benefitting in the current period
from the shipment of three large orders for gate valves and price increases for
fastener products.

         The consolidated gross profit margin for the three months ended
December 31, 1994, was 38%, unchanged from the gross profit margin for the same
period last year.  The gross profit margin in the flow measurement segment
declined slightly to 41% of revenues in the current period, compared to 42% of
revenues last year.  The gross profit margin in the energy products segment
improved significantly to 30% of revenues in the current period, from 26% last
year benefitting from the price increases for fastener products.

         Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 23% to $2,234,000
from the prior year due primarily to the amortization of intangibles associated
with the acquisition in fiscal 1995 (see Note 2 of NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS).

         Selling and administrative expenses declined 14% to $11,662,000 for
the three months ended December 31, 1994 compared to the same period last year.
These expenses declined to 28% of revenues in the current period, compared to
33% of revenues last year principally as a result of cost reduction efforts
initiated in early fiscal 1995.

         Interest expense increased 13% to $525,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1994 due to increased short- term borrowing levels, partially
offset by lower long-term debt levels.

         The effective tax rate of 30% for the three months ended December 31,
1994, is consistent with the rate for the same period last year.
<PAGE>   7
         In February 1995, the Company announced the adoption of a strategic
restructuring plan.  This plan is being undertaken to improve the Company's
overall profitability through a greater focus on high margin and market leading
product lines.  The plan identifies product lines in the metering equipment,
electronics, gas metering systems and valve groups as core products for further
development.  The plan also identifies non-core business groups and product
lines which the Company intends to divest or discontinue, including Daniel
Industrial, Inc. and Daniel En-Fab Systems, Inc.  It is anticipated that
annualized savings from restructuring will be in the range of $8 to $10
million, in addition to proceeds from the divested business groups and product
lines.  The Company expects personnel reductions in the corporate headquarters
and in the core business groups to be in excess of 100 people.  The Company
will announce more specific cost reduction estimates later and expects a
one-time restructuring charge to be taken in fiscal 1995 when the amount is
finalized.


                        Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The primary sources of the Company's liquidity for the three months
ended December 31, 1994 were internally generated funds, short-term borrowings
and cash and cash equivalents available at the beginning of the year.  These
funds were used primarily for the acquisition of certain assets related to a
product line (see Note 2 of NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS), payments on long-term debt, capital expenditures and the payment
of dividends.

         Net cash provided by operations for the three months ended December
31, 1994 was $5,085,000 due to profitable operations and a decline in unbilled
costs incurred on long-term construction contracts, partially offset by
decreased accounts payable.

         In fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994, the Company relied upon short-term
borrowings under its bank lines of credit to supplement its working capital and
other cash requirements.  At December 31, 1994, the Company had uncommitted
short- term lines of credit aggregating approximately $40,000,000.  At December
31, 1994 and February 3, 1995, borrowings under these lines were $10,250,000
and $8,000,000, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 6.65% and
6.48%, respectively.  While the Company expects its borrowing requirements to
generally decrease in fiscal 1995 from current levels, the timing of one or
several major expenditures or receipts may affect the level of borrowings at a
particular point in time.

         Working capital at December 31, 1994, included $45,063,000 of
inventory, which is not as liquid as other current assets.

         The Company anticipates capital expenditures in fiscal 1995 of
approximately $6,000,000.  Capital expenditures for the three months ended
December 31, 1994 were $1,016,000.

         The Company considers its financial position to be strong, with a
working capital ratio of 2.4 to 1.0 and debt to total capitalization of 15%.
As previously mentioned, the Company adopted a strategic restructuring plan.
The Company expects to have considerable flexibility with cash proceeds from
divestitures as well as borrowing capacity to make acquisitions to complement
its core business groups.

                          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
ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect the
financial position of the Company.  Additionally, in the ordinary course 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 $32,000,000 at December 31, 1994.
