NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 27, 1996
(unaudited)
NOTE 1. GENERAL
The consolidated condensed financial statements included
herein have been prepared by Danaher Corporation (the
Company) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, the Company
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. The condensed
financial statements included herein should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form
10-K.
In the opinion of the registrant, the accompanying
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
fairly the financial position of the Company at September 27,
1996 and December 31, 1995, its results of operations for the
three months and nine months ended September 27, 1996 and
September 29, 1995, and its cash flows for the nine months
ended September 27, 1996 and September 29, 1995.
NOTE 2. ACQUISITION OF JOSLYN CORPORATION AND ACME-
CLEVELAND CORPORATION
The Company obtained control of Joslyn Corporation
(Joslyn) as of September 1, 1995 when Joslyn's shareholders
tendered approximately 75% of the outstanding shares to
Danaher for $34 per share in cash. The remaining 25% was
acquired on October 31, 1995. Total consideration for
Joslyn was approximately $245 million. The fair value of
assets acquired is approximately $345 million and
approximately $100 million of liabilities were assumed. The
transaction has been accounted for as a purchase.
The Company obtained control of Acme-Cleveland
Corporation (Acme) as of July 2, 1996. Total consideration
for Acme was approximately $200 million. The fair value of
assets acquired is approximately $240 million and
approximately $40 million of liabilities were assumed. The
transaction is being accounted for as a purchase. The
purchase price allocations have been completed on a
preliminary basis, subject to adjustment should new or
additional facts about the business become known.
The unaudited pro forma information for the period set
forth below gives effect to the transactions as if they had
occurred at the beginning of each period. The pro forma
information is presented for information purposes only and is
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that
actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been
consummated as of that time (unaudited, 000's omitted):

NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In January, 1996, the Company sold its Fayette Tubular
Products subsidiary for $155 million cash. A gain of $79.8
million was recognized in the first quarter of 1996. As the
company no longer operates in the transportation business
segment, amounts for 1995 have been restated to reflect
Fayette as a discontinued operation.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Net revenues for the 1996 quarter and nine-month period
were 28% and 24% higher compared to the corresponding periods
in 1995. Customer demand was higher in all business
segments. Acquisitions accounted for approximately 24% and
21% of sales growth in the quarter and the nine-month period.
Gross profit margins for the 1996 third quarter and
nine-month period, as a percentage of sales, were
approximately 31.7% and 31.3%, respectively. For the quarter
and nine-month period, gross profit margins are up 1.5 and
1.4 percentage points because the acquired companies provide
a higher gross margin and productivity improvements within
the existing business units were experienced.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the
1996 third quarter as a percentage of sales were
approximately 1.3 percentage points higher than the 1995
level. For the 1996 nine-month period, these costs as a
percentage of sales are also higher principally due to the
higher overall selling expense structure of the acquired
businesses.
Interest expense for the 1996 quarter and nine-month
period was 279% and 187% higher than the 1995 levels due to
higher average debt levels, principally due to acquisitions
made in 1996 and September, 1995.
The effective tax rate for the nine-month period is lower
in 1996 than in 1995. This reflects principally the lesser
impact of nondeductible goodwill amortization given higher
pretax earnings and a lower income tax expense for certain
foreign operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total debt increased $145 million from the second quarter
to $285 million. This reflects the financing of the Acme-
Cleveland acquisition and increased working capital offset by
net earnings. Increased accounts receivable were largely
related to the consumer hand tool business which had just
entered its peak selling season. The Company anticipates
reductions in working capital levels in the fourth quarter.
The Company's regular quarterly dividend of $.025 per
share was declared for holders of record on September 26,
1996, payable on October 25, 1996.
The Company's cash provided from operations, as well as
credit facilities available, should provide sufficient
available funds to meet anticipated working capital
requirements, capital expenditures, dividends and scheduled
debt repayments. <PAGE>
