NOTE C - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Statement 130 establishes new
rules for the reporting and display of comprhensive income and its components;
however, the adoption of this Statement had no impact on the Company's net
income or shareholders equity. Statement 130 requires foreign currency
translation adjustments, which prior to adoption were reported separately in
shareholders' equity to be included in other comprehensive income. Prior year
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the requirements of
Statement 130.

During the three months ended September 30 of 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive
income amounted to $3,696,000 and $2,989,000. During the nine months ended
September 30 of 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive income amounted to
$10,166,000 and $8,614,000.

- ------------------------------------------
Net sales were $44,535,000 in 1998 compared to $42,278,000 in 1997, an increase

remain strong. Patterson Pump Company continues to experience good sales of its
fire pumps.

was primarily due to higher interest income.

1997, an increase of $798,000. Income tax expense increased from $1,768,000 in
1997 to $2,190,000 in 1998, primarily as a result of the increase in profit. The
