              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, 1995.

       As a result of the sale of the Company's non-core product lines, the
Company determined that it now has one business segment, fluid measurement and
flow control products and systems.

       The Company has not elected early adoption of Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation",
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, which is the
Company's year ending September 30, 1997.  The Company believes adoption of
this statement will not materially affect the Company's financial statements.

Note 2 - Acquisitions

       On January 8, 1996, the Company signed a letter of intent to purchase
all of the outstanding stock of a valve manufacturer and refurbisher for
approximately $3 million.  The transaction is subject, among other conditions,
to a due diligence examination by the Company and the signing of a definitive
agreement.  Completion of the transaction is expected in the second quarter of
fiscal 1996.  The operations related to this acquisition, which will be
accounted for under the purchase method, are not material to the Company's
results of operations.

       As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended September 30, 1995, the Company acquired the orifice metering
product line assets of another company.  Acquisition and related costs of
$4,177,000 were paid in cash.  The operations related to this acquisition,
which was accounted for under the purchase method, are not material to the
Company's results of operations.

Note 3 - Divestiture

       As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended September 30, 1995, the Company sold, effective November 1995,
the net assets of its fastener subsidiary, Daniel Industrial, Inc., to an
investor group for $8,000,000 cash and $9,500,000 in notes, discounted to
$8,600,000.  The charge to operations from this transaction was recorded in
fiscal 1995.  Notes receivable include:

Note 6 - Notes Payable

       At December 31, 1995, the Company had uncommitted short-term lines of
credit aggregating approximately $45,000,000.  One of these lines contains
restrictions regarding the amount of the line available for short-term
borrowings and the amount available for issuance of letters of credit.  The
other lines are available for either short-term borrowings or the issuance of
letters of credit.  Loans under these lines may be made in such amounts and at
such maturities and interest rates as may be offered by the banks and accepted
by the Company at the time of each borrowing.  At December 31, 1995, borrowings
under these lines were $6,200,000, and $26,400,000 was available for additional
short-term borrowings.  These borrowings were at a weighted average interest
rate of 6.38% and were due at varying dates through January 9, 1996.


ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                             Results of Operations

Three Months Ended December 31, 1995 vs. Three Months Ended December 31, 1994

       As a result of the sale of the Company's non-core product lines, the
Company determined that it now has one business segment, fluid measurement and
flow control products and systems.

       Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 were
$40,638,000 compared to $42,298,000 last year, inclusive of revenues from
divested product lines of $4,815,000 and $7,037,000, respectively.  Revenues
from sales of fluid measurement and flow control products increased 11% from
the prior year reflecting increased worldwide demand for the Company's
products, particularly valves.  This trend is expected to continue through the
remainder of fiscal 1996.  Sales of measurement systems decreased due  to the
timing of completion of orders.  Revenues in the current period include a
pretax gain of approximately $1,200,000 from the sale of certain
non-manufacturing property in Germany.  The Company's backlog at December 31,
1995 was approximately $43,800,000, an increase of 27% from the balance at
December 31, 1994, reflecting a significant improvement in orders for valve
products and a modest improvement in orders for measurement products.

       The consolidated gross profit margin for the quarter ended December 31,
1995, inclusive of the pretax gain on the sale of the property mentioned above,
improved to 41% of revenues compared to 38% of revenues last year primarily due
to the current year divestiture of the low-margin, non-core fastener product
line and a change in product mix towards fluid measurement products which have
higher margins than systems.

       Consolidated selling and administrative expenses ("S&A"), as a
percentage of revenues, declined two percentage points to 26% of revenues in
the current period.  This decline is primarily attributed to the realization of
benefits from the restructuring program, which was adopted in fiscal 1995,
and from  the gain on sale of property mentioned above.

       Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense decreased 22% to
$1,745,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 primarily due to the current
year divestiture of the non-core fastener product line.

       Consolidated interest expense decreased 10% to $471,000 in the current
quarter due to both lower short-term and long-term debt levels.

       The Company has not elected early adoption of Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation",
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,

1995, which is the Company's year ending September 30, 1997.  The Company 
believes adoption of this statement will not materially affect the Company's 
financial statements.


                        Liquidity and Capital Resources

       The primary sources of the Company's liquidity for the three months
ended December 31, 1995, were proceeds from the sale of the net assets of the
fastener subsidiary (see Note 3 of NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS), internally generated funds and  cash and cash equivalents
available at the beginning of the year.  These funds were used primarily for
capital expenditures, payments on short-term and long-term debt, and the
payment of a dividend.

       Working capital decreased $7,216,000 from the balance at September 30,
1995 to $58,170,000 at December 31, 1995,  primarily due to the
reclassification to non-current assets of the notes received from the sale
mentioned above.  The  Company considers its financial position to be strong,
with debt to total capitalization of 12%.  The Company's working capital ratio
at December 31, 1995, of 2.5 to 1.0 is adequate to meet the Company's needs.

       In the first three months of fiscal 1996 and in fiscal 1995, 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, 1995, the
Company had uncommitted short-term lines of credit aggregating approximately
$45,000,000.  At December 31, 1995 and February 6, 1996, borrowings under these
lines were $6,200,000, at weighted average interest rates of 6.38% and 6.0%,
respectively.  While the Company expects its borrowings requirements to
generally decrease during the remainder of fiscal year 1996 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.

       The Company anticipates capital expenditures in fiscal 1996 of
approximately $4,000,000.  Capital expenditures for the three months ended
December 31, 1995 were $874,000. On January 8, 1996, the Company signed a
letter of intent to purchase all of the outstanding stock of a valve
manufacturer and refurbisher for approximately $3,000,000. The Company
continues to seek acquisitions that would build upon its expertise in the
manufacturing and marketing of fluid measurement and flow control products and
systems.
