NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Donaldson Company, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and 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 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. Operating results for the six month period ended January 31, 2000
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending July 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Donaldson Company, Inc.
and subsidiaries' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 1999.
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the
current presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on the net earnings as
previously reported.

Note B - Net Earnings Per Share

The Company's basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings
by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. The Company's
diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the
weighted average number of outstanding common shares and dilutive shares
relating to stock options.

The following table presents information necessary to calculate basic and
diluted net earnings per common share:

Note E - New Accounting Standards

SFAS 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 requires a
company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income.
If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in
the fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments are
recognized through earnings or in other comprehensive income until the hedged
item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change
in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The company has not
yet determined what the effect of SFAS 133 will be on earnings and the financial
position of the company, although it is not expected to have a material impact
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Note F - Subsequent Event

Subsequent to the second quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of the
DCE dust control business of Invensys plc, for cash consideration of
approximately $54 million. DCE, headquartered in Leicester, England (UK) is a
major participant in the global industrial dust collection industry. The
acquisition strengthens the Company's presence in the industrial dust collection
market complementing the capability of the Company's Torit business unit. DCE
operations will be a part of the Company's Industrial Products segment and will
be accounted for as a purchase. The Company previously filed a report on Form
8-K on December 14, 1999 describing the acquisition.


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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company generated $49.1 million of cash and cash equivalents from operations
during the first six months of fiscal 2000. Operating cash flows decreased
slightly from the prior year period primarily due to an increase in inventory
levels compared to a decrease for the same period in the prior year. This
decrease in cash flows was offset by an increase in accounts payable and other
accruals compared to a decrease the prior year. These cash flows, plus
borrowings from the Company's credit facility, were used primarily to support
$20.1 million in capital additions (a 17.9% increase from prior year), complete
business acquisitions totaling $30.1 million, repurchase $4.2 million of
treasury stock, and for the payment of $6.0 million in dividends during the
first six months of fiscal 2000. At the end of the second quarter, the Company
had remaining authority to purchase approximately 3.4 million shares of common
stock under the share repurchase program authorized in November 1998.


                                       7
<PAGE>


At the end of the second quarter, the Company held $49.4 million in cash and
cash equivalents. Short-term debt totaled $45.8 million, up from $20.3 million
at July 31, 1999. Long-term debt of $92.7 million at January 31, 2000 (an
increase of $6.0 million since July 31, 1999), represented 24.3% of total
long-term capital, down slightly from 24.8% at July 31, 1999.

The Company believes that the combination of present capital resources,
internally generated funds, and unused financing sources are more than adequate
to meet cash requirements for the next twelve month period.

On November 1, 1999 the Company completed the purchase of all of the outstanding
shares of AirMaze Corporation, a privately held supplier of heavy duty air and
liquid filters, air/oil separators and high purity air filter products. This
acquisition supports the Company's strategy of providing a comprehensive line of
filtration and exhaust products for customers around the world and expands its
presence in the industrial compressor market. AirMaze is headquartered in Stow,
Ohio and has manufacturing facilities in Stow, OH, Greeneville, TN, and
Carpinteria, CA. AirMaze operations are a part of the Company's Engine
Products segment. The results of operations of AirMaze were not material in
relation to the Company's consolidated results of operations for the quarter
ended January 31, 2000.


Results of Operations

The Company reported net earnings for the second quarter ended January 31, 2000
of $17.4 million, up 32.1% from the $13.2 million recorded in the second quarter
last year. Total net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2000 of $259.3
million were up 17.7% from prior year sales of $220.2 million. The increase in
net earnings resulted from increased sales as well as an improved gross margin
and a lower effective income tax rate compared to the prior year. Diluted net
earnings per share were 37 cents, up 37.0% from prior year diluted net earnings
per share of 27 cents as the average number of shares outstanding decreased 2.2%
compared to the prior year period.

For the six months ended January 31, 2000, net earnings were $34.4 million, up
29.7% from the $26.5 million recorded in the same period in the prior year.
Total net sales for the six months ended January 31, 2000 of $505.8 million were
up 13.5% from prior year sales of 445.7 million. Diluted net earnings per share
were 73 cents, up 32.7% from the prior year's diluted net earnings per share of
55 cents.

For the second quarter, growth in net sales continued in both the Engine
Products and Industrial Products segment. The Engine Products segment showed a
12.9% increase in net sales from the same period in the prior year. All products
within the Engine Products segment contributed to such sales growth. This
increase was led by strong sales in aftermarket products which increased by
17.4%. Excluding the impact of the AirMaze acquisition, aftermarket product
sales were up almost 10%. Off road and transportation products showed increased
sales of 10.5% and 7.5%, respectively. The Industrial Products segment showed a
26.3% increase in net sales from the same period in the prior year. Within the
Industrial Products segment, the gas turbine products


                                       8
<PAGE>


showed strong net sales growth with sales almost doubling from the same period
in the prior year resulting largely from strong customer demand in North
America. Sales in high purity products posted a 22.2% increase from the same
period in the prior year primarily reflecting a strong disk drive market.

Consolidated gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was 30.7%, which
was 2.4% above the same quarter last year. The higher gross margin for the
quarter reflects the growth in net sales achieved in both operating segments of
the Company as well as benefit from higher capacity utilization and continued
efforts of cost reduction and productivity improvement efforts. Gross margin for
the six months ended January 31, 2000 and January 31, 1999 was 30.3% and 28.0%,
respectively.

Operating expenses during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 were $53.4 million
(20.6% of sales), compared to $43.5 million (19.7% of sales) in the same quarter
of fiscal 1999. This increase was due primarily to increased sales activity and
increases in warranty reserves and other accruals.

Other income for the current three month period ended has decreased $1.9 million
compared to the same period in the prior year. Other income for the current
three month period consisted of interest income of $0.5 million, income from
unconsolidated affiliates of $1.1 million, offset by charitable contributions of
$0.7 million and other expense of $0.4 million. For the year, other income
decreased $2.5 million compared to the same period in the prior year.

The effective income tax rate of 30% is consistent with the 1999 fiscal year
rate.

Hard order backlogs -- goods scheduled for delivery in 90 days -- of $165.2
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 are up 10.8% from the same period
in the prior year and down 3.0% from the prior quarter end. The increase in
backlog from the prior year indicates that the revenue pace remains strong. The
slight decrease in backlog from the prior quarter is attributable to the
Industrial Products segment as strong shipments in the prior quarter reduced
historically high levels of backlog.

The US dollar has had a mixed impact for the quarter and year to date relative
to the currencies of foreign countries where the Company operates. The weakening
of the dollar, in Japan, has had positive effects on net income while the
strengthening of the dollar in Europe contributed negatively for the both the
second quarter and year to date. The impact of foreign exchange translation on
net sales was a negative $2.8 million for the three months ended January 31,
2000 and a negative $0.5 million for the six months ended January 31, 2000.


Year 2000

Nothing has come to the Company's attention that would cause it to believe that
its Year 2000 compliance effort was not successful. To date, no significant Year
2000 issues have been encountered and the Company does not expect further Year
2000 issues to arise.
