NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
TRINOVA CORPORATION



Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements for the interim periods are unaudited. 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement
of the results for the interim periods included herein have been made. 
Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
1996.  It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction
with the audited 1995 financial statements and notes thereto included in
TRINOVA Corporation's most recent annual report.


Note 2 - Gain on Sale of Unconsolidated Affiliates 

During the 1996 second quarter, the Company sold its 35% interest in Yokohama
Aeroquip K.K., based in Japan, and its 49% interest in Aeroquip Mexicana S.A.,
based in Mexico.  The two transactions resulted in a net combined pretax gain
of $17.3 million ($5 million net, or $.16 per share).  The combined pretax
gain included $6.4 million of net gains previously deferred in the currency
translation component of equity.

Note 3 - Business Acquired

Second-quarter 1996 expenditures for business acquisitions amounted to $6.2
million, which included acquisition of a business serving the industrial
aftermarket, net of adjustment to the purchase price of a 1995 acquisition.

Note 4 - Income Taxes

The income tax provision for the 1996 six-month period includes a credit for
settlement of claims for prior years' research and development credits of $4
million, or $.13 per share, that was recorded in the first quarter.  The 1996
income tax provision also includes income taxes of $12.3 million resulting
from the gain on sale of unconsolidated affiliates.  The effective income tax
rate for the 1996 six-month period exclusive of these items was 33%.  The 23%
and 26% effective income tax rates for the 1995 second-quarter and six-month
periods reflect, among other things, the utilization of tax loss carryforwards
outside the U.S. for which deferred tax valuation allowances had previously
been provided.

Note 5 - Accounts Receivable Sold

"Changes in certain components of working capital other than debt" in the 1995
Condensed Statement of Cash Flows includes a $50 million increase in working
capital resulting from termination of the Company's program for the sale of
accounts receivable.

Note 6 - Net Income per Share

Net income per share is computed using the average number of shares
outstanding, including common stock equivalents.  The assumed conversion of
the Company's 6% convertible debentures was included in average shares
outstanding for each of the interim periods included herein, increasing the
average number of shares outstanding by 1,904,762 shares.  For purposes of
computing net income per share, net income was increased for the after-tax
equivalent of interest expense on the 6% convertible debentures.

declined 2.9%.  Businesses acquired in the 1995 fourth quarter generated
second-quarter 1996 sales, principally in the industrial segment, of more than
$28 million.  Including the results of acquisitions, U.S. sales increased
$17.8 million but non-U.S. sales declined $1.5 million.  Changes in currency
exchange rates reduced non-U.S. sales by $7.7 million.

Analysis of Operations - Continued

Record second-quarter 1996 industrial sales of $292.6 million were $9.8
million, or 3.5%, higher than in the 1995 second quarter, bolstered by the
operations of Vickers Electronic Systems (VES) acquired in late 1995.  U.S.
industrial sales increased $16.1 million, or 9%, compared with the 1995 second
quarter, and sales for Asia/Pacific improved modestly.  European sales
declined $3.7 million, or 5.3%, including the effects of changes in currency
exchange rates, while sales in Brazil were $3.6 million, or 31.4%, lower than
in the 1995 second quarter.  Strong industrial order intake of $294.5 million,
including orders for VES, represented an increase of $24.3 million, or 9%,
over the 1995 second quarter.  Order intake for the U.S. and Asia/Pacific
increased over the prior year, while order intake in Europe and Brazil
declined.  Order backlog of $201 million was $8.3 million, or 4.3%, higher
than at June 30, 1995.

Automotive sales declined $3.9 million, or 2.9%, from the 1995 second quarter. 
However, second-quarter 1996 sales were $5.8 million higher than sales in the
1996 first quarter.  U.S. sales in the 1996 second quarter were $7.4 million,
or 12.3%, lower than in the 1995 second quarter, but were nearly equal to the
1996 first-quarter sales.  Although new business is being secured, the
conclusion of a number of programs with U.S. car manufacturers in the second
half of 1995 contributed to the 1996 second-quarter sales decline.  European
automotive sales increased $3.5 million, or 4.8%, over the 1995 second quarter
despite the unfavorable effects of changes in currency exchange rates.  The
increased European volume was driven by higher sales of air conditioning and
power steering components. 

Aerospace & defense sales increased $10.4 million, or 12.2%, over the 1995
second quarter.  The sales increase reflects continued strength in all areas
of the original equipment and aftermarket business, and included the benefit
of two small acquisitions made in late 1995, as sales were up 12.7% in the
U.S. and 9.6% in Europe.  Order intake of $108.8 million was $32.7 million, or
43%, higher than in the 1995 second quarter.  Order backlog, likewise,
increased substantially to $297.9 million from $257.4 million at June 30,
1995.

Consolidated manufacturing income increased $3.0 million, or 2.3%, from the
1995 second quarter, but manufacturing margin declined from 26.1% to 25.9%. 
Manufacturing income and margin for the industrial segment declined from the
1995 second quarter as the benefit of increased sales volume was negated by
losses in Brazil (a decline in manufacturing income of $3.9 million) and
amortization of premium, including goodwill, associated with the VES
acquisition.  Although profitable, VES's manufacturing margin is lower than
margins for the remainder of the segment, primarily due to the premium
amortization.  Automotive manufacturing income and margin improved due to the
benefits of consolidation and downsizing of facilities, and improved product
mix resulting from sales increases in certain higher-margin product lines. 
Higher sales and continued process improvements contributed to significantly
higher manufacturing income and margin over the 1995 second quarter for the
aerospace & defense segment.

Analysis of Operations - Continued


Selling and general administrative and engineering, research and development
expenses were $1.8 million higher in the 1996 second quarter than in the 1995
second quarter, but as a percent of sales were 15.9% in 1996 compared with 16%
in 1995.  Selling and general administrative expenses were slightly lower than
in 1995, while engineering, research and development expenses increased $2
million.  This increase is due in part to the VES acquisition, but also
represents expanding initiatives for new product and business development.

Interest expense for the 1996 second quarter was $1.9 million higher than in
the 1995 second quarter and was principally due to higher debt levels
resulting from the 1995 acquisitions and the program initiated in 1995 to
repurchase shares of the Company's common stock. 

As previously announced, the Company sold its 35% interest in Yokohama
Aeroquip K.K. based in Japan, and its 49% interest in Aeroquip Mexicana S.A.,
based in Mexico.  The two transactions resulted in a net combined pretax gain
of $17.3 million, which is reported in Other Income (Expenses) in the
Statement of Income.  The combined pretax gain included $6.4 million of net
gains previously deferred in the currency translation component of equity. The
Company expects that the sales of its interests in the two unconsolidated
affiliates will stimulate the Company's growth in the industrial markets in
Mexico and the Asia/Pacific region.  The Company can now explore opportunities
in the Japanese market with the full Aeroquip product line and expand its
product line offerings in Mexico and Central America. 

Net income for the 1996 second quarter amounted to $33.1 million, or $1.11 per
share (including a gain of $5 million, or $.16 per share, from the sale of
unconsolidated affiliates), compared with net income of $33.3 million, or
$1.11 per share, in the 1995 second quarter.  The effective income tax rate
for the 1996 second quarter (exclusive of the tax associated with the gain on
the sale of unconsolidated affiliates) was 33% compared with 23% in the 1995
second quarter.  The lower effective income tax rate in 1995 reflects, among
other things, the utilization of tax loss carryforwards outside the U.S. for
which deferred tax valuation allowances had previously been provided.

Sales exceeding $1 billion for the first six months of 1996 were a record for
the Company and were $29.8 million, or 3%, greater than in the comparable 1995
period.  Sales for the industrial and aerospace & defense segments increased
4.5% and 14.5%, respectively, but automotive sales declined 7.3%.  Businesses
acquired in the 1995 fourth quarter generated sales for the first six months
of 1996 of more than $54 million, principally in the industrial segment. 
Including the results of acquisitions, U.S. sales increased $34.5 million, or
5.5%, but non-U.S. sales declined $4.7 million.  Changes in currency exchange
rates reduced non-U.S. sales by nearly $12 million.

Industrial sales for the first six months of 1996 amounting to $584.5 million
were also a record and were $25.4 million, or 4.5%, greater than in the
comparable 1995 period.  U.S. industrial sales increased $34.2 million, or
9.6%, and Asia/Pacific sales improved modestly.  European sales declined $1.7

Automotive sales declined $20 million, or 7.3%, from the first six months of
1995.  U.S. automotive sales were $21.6 million, or 17%, lower than in the
comparable 1995 period.  The conclusion of a number of significant programs
with U.S. car manufacturers in the second half of 1995 contributed to the
decline in 1996 U.S. volume.  European automotive sales increased $1.6
million, after the adverse effects of changes in currency exchange rates
amounting to more than $7 million.

Aerospace & defense sales increased significantly over the first six months of
1995, up $24.3 million, or 14.5%.  The Company's aggressive aerospace &
defense growth initiatives evidence sustained momentum as the favorable first-
quarter performance was replicated in the second quarter.

Consolidated manufacturing income increased $6.8 million, or 2.7%, over the
first six months of 1995, while manufacturing margin remained unchanged at
25.3%.  Factors similar to those described for the second quarter influenced
the six-month performance.  Manufacturing income and margin for the industrial
segment declined from the prior year due to the performance of the Brazilian
operations and lower profit margin for the acquired VES operations. 
Automotive manufacturing income was flat with the prior year, but
manufacturing margin improved due principally to the benefits recognized in
the 1996 second quarter from consolidation and downsizing of facilities and
improved sales mix.  Higher sales volume and continued process improvements
for aerospace & defense contributed to a 25% increase in manufacturing income
and a 2.8 percentage-point increase in manufacturing margin.

Selling and general administrative and engineering, research and development
expenses were $6.7 million higher in the 1996 six-month period compared with
the 1995 first six months and as a percent of sales were approximately the
same as in 1995.  The increase is principally due to the VES acquisition but
also represents expanding initiatives for new product and business
development.

Interest expense for the 1996 six-month period was $3.2 million greater than
in the comparable 1995 period and was attributable to the higher average debt
levels in 1996.  Other Income (Expenses) for the 1996 six-month period
includes a gain of $17.3 million resulting from the sales of unconsolidated
affiliates.

Net income for the first six months of 1996 amounted to $57.5 million, or
$1.94 per share (including a gain of $5 million, or $.16 per share, from the
sale of unconsolidated affiliates), compared with net income of $55.9 million,
or $1.88 per share, for the first six months of 1995.  The income tax
provision for the 1996 six-month period includes a credit for settlement of
claims for prior years' research and development credits of $4 million, or
$.13 per share, that was recorded in the first quarter.  The 1996 income tax
provision also includes income taxes of $12.3 million resulting from the gain
on sale of unconsolidated affiliates.  The effective income tax rate for the
1996 six-month period exclusive of these items was 33%.  The 26% effective
income tax rate for the 1995 six-month period reflects, among other things,
the utilization of tax loss carryforwards outside the U.S. for which deferred
tax valuation allowances had previously been provided.

Liquidity, Working Capital and Capital Investment

Cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 1996 amounted
to $33.8 million.  Working capital requirements included $62.3 million to
finance a higher level of receivables.  This increase reflects, in part, the
result of higher sales in 1996 and, since receivables were not included in the
purchase of VES, recognizes the increase in receivable balances to normal
operating levels for VES.  Inventory reductions during the first six months of
1996 provided cash of $12.7 million, and dividends received from affiliates,
principally Aeroquip Yokohama K.K., amounted to $9.9 million.  Changes in
components of working capital other than debt in the 1995 first-quarter
operating activities included a $50 million increase in working capital
resulting from the termination of the Company's program for the sale of
accounts receivable.

During the 1996 second quarter, the Company received $40.2 million from the
sales of interests in two unconsolidated affiliates operating as joint
ventures in Japan and Mexico and an injection-molding plastics products
facility in Bassett, Virginia.   Also in the 1996 second quarter, expenditures
for business acquisitions amounting to $6.2 million included the acquisition
of a business serving the industrial aftermarket, net of adjustment to the
purchase price of a 1995 acquisition.  

Dividend payments in 1996 were $.20 per share in each of the first two
quarters compared with $.18 in 1995.  Total dividends paid in the first six
months of 1996 were $11.5 million compared with $10.4 million in the same 1995
period.  During the first six months of 1996, the Company purchased 439,600
shares of common stock at a cost of $13.8 million.  The Company expects to
make further purchases during 1996, but is not committed to purchase a
specific number of shares.

In 1996, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission for an additional $175 million (total registrations of
$250 million before debt issuance) in debt securities. In the 1996 second
quarter, the Company issued $100 million of 30-year debentures with a coupon
rate of 7.875% under this authorization.  The proceeds were used to retire
debt with shorter maturities, including $75 million that was classified as
long-term.  At June 30, 1996, additional debt securities in amounts up to $150
million can be issued under the existing registrations. The debt-to-
capitalization ratio (debt divided by debt plus equity) at June 30, 1996 was
reduced to 44.4% compared with 45.6% at December 31, 1995.  The Company also
maintains a revolving credit agreement with a consortium of U.S. and non-U.S.
banks expiring in 2000 under which the Company may borrow up to $175 million. 
The agreement is intended to support the Company's commercial paper borrowings
and, to the extent not so utilized, provide domestic borrowing capacity.  The
remaining borrowing capacity under this agreement at June 30, 1996, was $173.4
million.  In addition to this agreement, the Company has uncommitted
arrangements with various banks to provide short-term financing as necessary. 
The Company expects that cash flow from operating activities and available
credit lines will be sufficient to meet normal operating requirements over the
near term.
