                  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note A - The accompanying  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles
for interim  financial  information  and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and
Rule  10-01 of  Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not  include  all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted  accounting  principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals)  considered  necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.

Note B - Effective  August 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting
for income taxes to comply with Financial  Accounting  Standards Board Statement
No. 109,  "Accounting for Income Taxes" (FAS 109). The new Statement  requires a
liability approach for computing income taxes. The cumulative effect of adopting
FAS 109 was to increase prior year first quarter net earnings by $2.2 million (8
cents per share).


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


A.       Financial Condition

Positive cash flow totaled  $14.3 million  through the first nine months of this
year;  cash inflows  essentially  balanced cash  outflows in the third  quarter.
Operating  cash flows have  increased  this year due to higher net  earnings and
non-cash  expenses and smaller increases in working capital  requirements.  This
higher level of cash flows easily  covered a  relatively  high capital  spending
program this year as well as the  acquisition  of the remaining  interest in our
Mexican  operation  (DMP).  DMP was  previously  a joint  venture  owned  50% by
Donaldson  Company,  Inc.  Dividend  payments  totaled $1.8 million in the third
quarter  and $5.5  million  for the  year-to-date.  Treasury  stock  repurchases
totaled $0.1 million in the third quarter and $5.5 million for the year-to-date.

At the end of the third quarter, the Company held $37.3 million in cash and cash
equivalents.  Cash  balances net of  short-term  debt and current  maturities of
long-term  debt totaled $12.8  million,  up from $10.6 million at the end of the
second quarter. Long-term debt of $12.5 million at quarter-end,  represented 5.5
percent of total  long-term  capital,  down from 7.4  percent at the end of last
quarter. Long-term debt declined in the quarter as the Company decided to prepay
a $3.4  million 11 1/8% note on June 1, 1995.  This debt was  reclassified  to a
current liability at April 30, 1995.


B.       Results of Operations

         For the third  quarter  ended April 30,  1995,  net sales  increased 21
percent to $186.8  million from $153.9 million in the same period last year. Net
earnings of $11.5  million were up 18 percent from  prior-year  earnings of $9.7
million.  Earnings per share of 43 cents were up 19 percent compared to 36 cents
last year.

         Revenue increases  continue to be broad-based;  healthy gains have been
achieved across all product lines and all major geographic  segments.  Worldwide
net sales of engine  products  totaled  $123.8  million in the third  quarter of
1995,  up 21 percent  from the same  period  last year.  Worldwide  net sales of
industrial  products  totaled  $63.0 million in the most recent  quarter,  up 23
percent from last year.

         Gross margins of 28.8 percent in the third  quarter were  significantly
higher than the same period last year. This improvement  reflects  manufacturing
efficiencies achieved from higher operating levels this year. In addition, asset
write-offs related to our Brazilian operation depressed last year's results. For
the year-to-date period, gross margins of 28.2 percent compare favorably to last
year.  Although our manufacturing costs continue to rise faster than our rate of
price increases,  we believe that current margin levels are sustainable  through
higher productivity.

         Operating expenses as a percent of sales were 18.0 percent in the third
quarter,  slightly above the comparable  period last year. For the  year-to-date
period,  operating expenses were 18.6 percent of sales, slightly lower than last
year. This improvement  primarily reflects the unusually high levels of warranty
expense incurred last year related to the diesel particulate trap product, which
is no longer in production.

         Total  backlogs  of $205.0  million  were up 35  percent  from the same
period last year and 5 percent  from the end of the second  quarter.  Hard order
backlogs - goods  scheduled for delivery in 90 days - of $123.1  million were up
21  percent  from  last  year,  unchanged  from the end of the  second  quarter.
Although the rapid buildup of backlogs has abated, the current backlogs stand at
a historically high level, an encouraging indicator of future sales prospects.
