              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.


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

A.       Financial Condition

         Operating cash flows have increased this year due to higher net
earnings, increased depreciation and amortization and smaller increases in
working capital requirements. These increases were partially offset by a smaller
amount of property, plant and equipment write-downs. This higher level of
operating cash flows easily covered a relatively high capital spending program
and increased repurchases of treasury stock. Treasury stock repurchases totaled
$5.4 million in the second quarter and $14.6 million for the six month period
ended January 31, 1996.

         In January 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a program
to repurchase up to 2.0 million shares of its common stock. Less than 0.1
million shares have been repurchased under this authority. The Board had granted
authority to repurchase 1.0 million shares in May 1995, and almost 0.9 million
shares were bought under this authorization. The most recent Board authority
replaces and expands the Company's ongoing repurchase program.

         At the end of the second quarter, the Company held $27.6 million in
cash and cash equivalents. Cash balances net of short-term debt and current
maturities of long-term debt totaled $7.1 million, down from $7.8 million at
July 31, 1995. Long-term debt of $13.7 million at January 31, 1996, represented
6.0 percent of total long-term capital, up from 4.4 percent at the end of the
prior year.

         In December 1995, the Company entered into a five year multi-currency
revolving credit facility totaling $100 million with a group of international
banks, led by Citibank as the agent. There were no amounts outstanding under
this facility at January 31, 1996.

B.       Results of Operations

         The Company reported record net sales and earnings in the second
quarter and first six months of 1996. Second quarter net sales of $182.2 million
increased 7.9 percent from $168.9 million in the second quarter of 1995. In the
first six months, sales reached $371.0 million, up 11.4 percent from $333.0
million a year ago.

         Second quarter net earnings were $9.2 million, compared to $7.7 million
in the second quarter of 1995. Earnings per share were 35 cents, up 20.7 percent
from 29 cents a year earlier. Net earnings in the first six months were $19.4
million, compared with $17.2 million in 1995. Earnings per share were 74 cents,
up 15.6 percent from 64 cents a year earlier.

         Sales increased, in part, due to a higher demand for the Company's dust
collection and gas turbine systems products. In addition, the original equipment
engine business benefited from solid growth in our traditional heavy duty
transportation market combined with new programs in the light duty truck market.
The Company's operating profitability also continues to be positively affected
by broad based volume increases across all major product lines and its
continuing efforts to control costs.

         For the second quarter, gross margins increased to 28.8 percent in 1996
from 28.1 percent in the second quarter of 1995. Gross margins for the first six
months of 1996 were 28.7 percent compared to 27.8 percent in the prior year. The
improvement reflects manufacturing efficiencies achieved from higher operating
levels this year.

         Operating expenses during the second quarter of 1996 were $36.0
million, 19.8 percent of sales, compared to $33.0 million, 19.5 percent of sales
in the same quarter a year ago. Operating expenses for the first six months were
$72.2 million, 19.5 percent of sales, compared to $62.8 million, 18.9 percent of
sales in 1995. Operating expenses in the first half of 1996 were higher
primarily due to increased accrued warranty reserves.

         Hard order backlogs -- goods scheduled for delivery in 90 days -- of
$120.2 million at January 31, 1996, declined 3 percent from the same period last
year primarily due to a decline in gas turbine backlog following strong sales
during the first six months of 1996 and generally soft market conditions. Hard
order backlogs in the engine business (original equipment and aftermarket) are
13 percent higher than at the same time last year.
