NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Aeroquip-Vickers, Inc.



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
presentation of the results for the interim periods included herein have been
made.  Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1997, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1997.  It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the audited 1996 financial statements and notes thereto
included in Aeroquip-Vickers, Inc.'s most recent annual report.


Note 2 - Special Charge

In the 1997 first quarter, the Company announced plans to exit its automotive
interior plastics business and recorded a special charge of $30 million ($18.5
million net, or $.62 per share for the 1997 six-month period), comprised
principally of severance and lease termination costs.  As of June 30, 1997,
the Company has sold or closed five facilities that had combined 1996 sales of
approximately $65 million.  The Company is in various stages of negotiation
for the sale of other automotive facilities which also had combined 1996 sales
of approximately $65 million.  


Note 3 - Gain on Sale of Unconsolidated Affiliates

In the 1996 second quarter, the Company sold its 35% interest in Yokohama
Aeroquip K.K. and its 49% interest in Aeroquip Mexicana S.A.  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 4 - Income Taxes

The income tax provision for the 1997 six-month period includes a credit of
$11.5 million that was recorded in the first quarter related to the special
charge for costs to exit the automotive interior plastics business.  The
effective income tax rate for the 1997 second quarter and six-month period
exclusive of this item was 33.9%.  The income tax provision for the 1996 six-
month period includes a credit of $4 million recorded in the first quarter for
settlement of claims for prior years' research and development credits.  The
1996 income tax provision also includes income taxes on $12.3 million
resulting from the gain on sale of unconsolidated affiliates.  The effective
income tax rate for the 1996 second quarter and six-month period exclusive of
these items was 33%.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 5 - Redemption of 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures 

On June 27, 1997, the Company issued a notice calling for redemption of its 6%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures on July 28, 1997.  The Debentures were due
to mature on October 15, 2002.  The Debentures were convertible into common
shares of Aeroquip-Vickers, Inc. until the redemption date at a conversion
price of $52.50 per share.  Prior to the redemption date, Debentures in the
amount of $3.7 million were submitted for conversion into 70,950 shares of
common stock.  The redemption price of the remaining Debentures outstanding in
the amount of $96.3 million, was equal to 100.6%.  Because the company used
$50 million of its available borrowing capacity under its Medium Term Note
Program to redeem the Debentures, Debentures in the amount of $50 million were
classified as long-term debt at June 30, 1997.  The pretax loss from
redemption of the Debentures amounting to $1.5 million will be recognized in
the 1997 third quarter.


Note 6 - Net Income per Share

Net income per share (EPS) 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, 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.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" (FAS 128) which
must be adopted on December 31, 1997.  At that time, the Company will be
required to change the method currently used to compute EPS and restate all
prior periods.  Pro forma basic and diluted EPS computed in accordance with
FAS 128 are as follows:

                                           1997       1996
Second Quarter:
   Basic EPS                               $1.20      $1.16
   Diluted EPS                              1.15       1.11

Six Months Ended June 30:
   Basic EPS                                1.41       2.01
   Diluted EPS                              1.37       1.94

(a)  Includes a net gain from sale of affiliates amounting to $17.3 million
     ($5 million net, or $.16 per share).

Consolidated net sales for the 1997 second quarter increased $38.4 million, or
7.4%, over the 1996 second quarter.  Sales for the industrial and aerospace
segments increased 8.5% and 27.4%, respectively, while sales for the
automotive segment declined 9.7% from the 1996 second quarter because of the
sale or closure of certain plants as discussed later.  Companies acquired in
1996 generated second-quarter 1997 sales, principally in the aerospace
segment, of $15.1 million.  U.S. sales increased $25.4 million, and non-U.S.
sales increased $13 million.  Changes in currency exchange rates reduced non-
U.S. sales by $7 million, principally in the automotive segment.

Analysis of Operations - Continued


Second-quarter 1997 industrial sales grew to a new quarterly record of $317.5
million and were $24.8 million, or 8.5%, greater than in the 1996 second
quarter.  U.S. industrial sales increased $19.8 million, or 10.2%, and
industrial sales in Asia-Pacific, Brazil and Mexico collectively increased
$6.8 million, or 22.5%, over the 1996 second quarter.  Weak demand contributed
to a decline in industrial sales in Europe totaling $1.8 million, or 2.7%,
from the 1996 second quarter.  Second-quarter 1997 industrial order intake of
$320.7 million set a new quarterly record, with increases over a year ago in
the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific.  Order backlog increased $15.1 million, or
7.5%, as significant increases in backlog in the U.S. and Asia-Pacific were
partially offset by a reduction in Europe.

Automotive sales declined $12.6 million, or 9.7%, from the 1996 second
quarter.  The sale or closing during 1997 of five automotive interior plastics
plants nearly accounted for the U.S. automotive sales decline of $17.2
million, or 32.7%.  European automotive sales increased $4.6 million, or 6%,
net of the adverse effects of changes in currency exchange rates totaling
nearly $5.4 million.  The growth in European automotive sales reflects
continuing strong demand for fluid connectors for use in automotive air
conditioning and power steering applications. 

Aerospace sales of $121.5 million represented a new quarterly record and were
$26.1 million, or 27.4%, higher than in the 1996 second quarter.  Nearly $11
million of this increase was due to a 1996 acquisition.  Sales were up 28.1%
in the U.S. and 23.5% in Europe, reflecting positive increases in sales to
commercial OEM and aftermarket customers and to the military aftermarket. 
Order intake of $138.4 million was also an all-time quarterly record,
representing an increase of $29.5 million, or 27.1%, over the prior year.  All
of the new order increase was in the U.S.  Order backlog of $366.1 million
represented an increase of $68.2 million, or 22.9%, over 1996.

Consolidated manufacturing income of $147 million was also a quarterly record,
increasing $13.1 million, or 9.8%, over the 1996 second quarter. 
Manufacturing margin of 26.4% in the 1997 second quarter improved over the
25.9% margin realized in the 1996 second quarter.  Manufacturing income for
the industrial segment increased over the comparable prior-year period,
principally due to higher sales in the U.S., Asia-Pacific and Brazil. 
Manufacturing margin for the industrial operations declined, however, due to
the general weakness of the European economy and an unfavorable product mix in
the U.S.  Lower sales and the adverse effects of changes in currency exchange
rates reduced manufacturing income for the automotive segment slightly from
that of the 1996 second quarter, but manufacturing margin improved 1.4
percentage points.  The automotive segment margin improvement is primarily
attributable to the divestiture of certain interior automotive plastics
facilities. Manufacturing income and margin for the aerospace segment improved
over the 1996 second quarter due principally to higher sales and continued
improvements in manufacturing processes.

Analysis of Operations - Continued


Selling and general administrative and engineering, research and development
expenses were $3.3 million higher in the 1997 second quarter than in the
comparable 1996 period, but as a percent of sales were 15.4% in 1997, compared
with 15.9% in 1996.  Selling and general administrative expenses were reduced
sharply in Europe from 1996 through organizational realignments and continuing
process improvements. Such costs, however, were higher in the U.S. and the
Asia-Pacific region in the 1997 second quarter, primarily due to increased
levels of business activity and the expansion of operations.  Second-quarter
1997 engineering, research and development costs were down slightly from the
prior year.

In the 1996 second quarter, the Company sold its 35% interest in Yokohama
Aeroquip K.K. and its 49% interest in Aeroquip Mexicana S.A.  The two
transactions resulted in a net combined pretax gain of $17.3 million, which
was reported in Other Income (Expenses) - Net in the Statement of Income.  The
combined pretax gain from sales of unconsolidated affiliates included net
translation gains of $6.4 million previously deferred in the currency
translation component of equity.  Interest expense for the 1997 second quarter
amounted to $7 million, compared with $6.8 million in the 1996 second quarter. 

Net income for the 1997 second quarter amounted to $33.6 million, or $1.15 per
share, compared with net income of $33.1 million, or $1.11 per share, in the
1996 second quarter.  Net income for the 1996 second quarter included an
after-tax gain of $5 million, or $.16 per share, from the sales of
unconsolidated affiliates.  The effective income tax rate for the 1997 second
quarter was 33.9% compared with 33%, exclusive of the tax associated with the
gain on sales of unconsolidated affiliates, in the 1996 second quarter.

(a)  After deducting a special charge of $30 million ($18.5 million net, or
     $.62 per share).
(b)  Includes a net gain from sale of affiliates amounting to $17.3 million
     ($5 million net, or $.16 per share) and an income tax credit of $4
     million, or $.13 per share.

Consolidated net sales of $1.1 billion for the first six months of 1997 were a
record for the Company and were $64.7 million, or 6.3%, greater than in the
comparable 1996 period.  Sales for the industrial and aerospace segments
increased 4.2% and 25.4%, respectively, but automotive sales declined 3.4%
because of the sale or closure of certain plants as discussed later. 
Companies acquired in late 1996 generated six-month 1997 sales, principally in
the aerospace segment, of $28.9 million.  Including the results of
acquisitions, U.S. sales increased $42.6 million, or 6.5%, and non-U.S. sales
increased $22.1 million, or 5.9%.  Changes in currency exchange rates reduced
non-U.S. sales by more than $13 million, principally in the automotive
segment.

Industrial sales for the first six months of 1997 amounting to $609.3 million
were also a record and were $24.8 million, or 4.2%, greater than during the
comparable 1996 period.  U.S. industrial sales increased $19.8 million, or
5.1%,  Asia-Pacific sales increased $8.9 million, or 22%, and industrial sales
in Brazil increased $1.8 million, or 12.4%.  European industrial sales
declined $8.1 million, or 5.8%

Automotive sales declined $8.8 million, or 3.4%, from the first six months of
1996 after the adverse effects of changes in currency exchange rates amounting
to nearly $11 million.  U.S. automotive sales were $19.9 million, or 18.9%,
lower than in the comparable 1996 period.  The sale or closing during the
first six months of 1997 of five automotive interior plastics facilities more
than accounted for the decline in U.S. automotive sales.  European automotive
sales increased $11.1 million, net of the effects of changes in currency
exchange rates, over the 1996 six-month period.  

Aerospace sales grew $48.7 million, or 25.4%, over the comparable 1996 period
to a first-half record of $240.2 million.  Sales were up 26.3% in the U.S. and
20.6% in Europe.  These worldwide sales increases resulted from continued
strong demand for commercial aerospace OEM and aftermarket products.

Consolidated manufacturing income increased $19.3 million, or 7.4%, over the
first six months of 1996, and manufacturing margin increased to 25.5%. 
Manufacturing income and margin for the industrial segment declined from the
prior year primarily as a result of the general weakness of the European
economy and changes in sales mix.  Manufacturing income and margin for the
automotive segment improved modestly primarily as a result of the sale or
closing of certain automotive interior plastics facilities.  Manufacturing
income and margin for the aerospace segment increased significantly over the
prior year six-month period principally because of strong sales growth and
continued process improvements.

Selling and general administrative and engineering, research and development
expenses were nearly $1 million higher than in the comparable 1996 six-month
period, but as a percent of sales were 15.5% in 1997 compared with 16.3% in
1996.  Selling and general administrative expenses were reduced sharply in
Europe from 1996 through organizational realignments and continuing process
improvements. Such costs, however, were higher in the U.S. and the Asia-
Pacific region in the 1997 six-month period.  Engineering, research and
development costs were down $2.1 million from the prior year, driven by more
focused program direction.

In the 1997 first quarter, the Company announced its plans to exit the
automotive interior plastics business and recorded a special charge of $30
million, comprised principally of severance and lease termination costs.  A
significant portion of this charge related to exiting operations in Germany. 
During the first six months of 1997, the Company sold or closed five
facilities that had combined 1996 annual sales of approximately $65 million. 
Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Company disposed of another facility that had
1996 sales of $15 million, and announced that an additional facility will be
closed during the 1997 third quarter that also had 1996 sales of $15 million. 
Shipments will continue at reduced levels from an inventory bank at one of

                                   -12-

these facilities through the remainder of the year.  Negotiations continue for
the sale of a remaining facility that had 1996 sales of more than $35 million. 
Following the sale or closure of these facilities, which is expected to be
substantially completed during 1997, fluid connectors will be the Company's
primary automotive focus.  Automotive fluid connectors (hose and the attached
fittings), used for conveying fluids in air conditioning, power steering and
oil cooling systems in cars, light trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles, is
a business generated from Aeroquip's industrial fluid power expertise.

On April 11, 1997, the Company announced that it entered into a joint-venture
and global product and technology alliance with Komatsu Ltd., a world leader
in the construction equipment market.  This agreement is intended to extend
the Company's product offering into the Japanese mobile equipment market and
to provide opportunities for the development of new products for mobile
equipment customers.  The Company expects that this agreement will also enable
the Company to sell the full range of hydraulic products of Komatsu and
Komatsu Zenoah under the Vickers brand name on a worldwide basis through the
Vickers global sales network.  The Company also entered into a joint-venture
agreement with Sturman Industries for development of integrated digital
electrohydraulic systems.  

Interest expense for the 1997 six-month period was $1.2 million higher than in
the comparable 1996 period and was attributable to a higher interest rate on
long-term debt that was issued in the 1996 second quarter.  Other Income
(Expenses) - Net for the 1996 six-month period included a gain of $17.3
million resulting from the sales of investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

Net income for the first six months of 1997 amounted to $39.3 million, or
$1.37 per share, and is after deducting a special charge amounting to $18.5
million net of tax, or $.62 per share, recorded in the first quarter to exit
the automotive interior plastics business .  This compares with net income for
the six months ended June 30, 1996, of $57.5 million, or $1.94 per share,
which included income from special items net of tax totaling $9 million, or
$.29 per share.  The income tax provision for the 1997 six-month period
included a credit of $11.5 million that was recorded in the first quarter
related to the special charge for costs to exit the automotive interior
plastics business.  The effective income tax rate for the 1997 six-month
period exclusive of this item was 33.9%.  The income tax provision for the
1996 six-month period included a credit of $4 million recorded in the first
quarter for settlement of claims for prior years' research and development
credits.  The 1996 income tax provision also included income taxes of $12.3
million resulting from the gain on sales of unconsolidated affiliates.  The
effective income tax rate for the 1996 six-month period exclusive of these
items was 33%

In the first half of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
final statements that change the method for calculating and reporting earnings
per share (EPS), that require the disclosure of total comprehensive income,
and that change the method for determining and reporting business segment
information.  The Company will adopt FAS 128, "Earnings per Share," on 


                                   -13-
<PAGE>

Analysis of Operations - Continued


December 31, 1997, and quarterly EPS amounts will be restated as specified by
the Statement.  Pro forma EPS for the three- and six-month periods ended June
30, 1997 and 1996, calculated in accordance with provisions of this Statement,
are provided in the Notes to Financial Statements.  The Company has not
determined when it will adopt the disclosure requirements of FAS 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," and FAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information."  Historically, the Company's only
component of other comprehensive income is foreign currency items.

Liquidity, Working Capital and Capital Investment

Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 1997
amounted to $72.7 million, compared with $33.8 million for the comparable 1996
period.  Working capital requirements for 1997 of $21.7 million included $37.8
million to finance a higher level of receivables and $18.5 million for growth
in inventories.  These cash requirements were partially offset by the effects
of increases in payables and taxes.  Working capital requirements for the
first six months of 1996 totaling $47.8 million included $62.3 million to
finance an increase in receivables.  The 1996 receivables increase reflected
the growth in receivable balances to normal operating levels for a company
acquired in late 1995 for which receivables were not part of the assets
purchased.  Inventory reductions during the first six months of 1996 provided
cash of $12.7 million.  Cash provided by operating activities in 1996 included
dividends received from affiliates amounting to $9.9 million.

During the first six months of 1997, the Company received $26.8 million from
sales of certain automotive interior plastics facilities.  Proceeds from sales
of the remaining automotive interior plastics facilities are projected to be
received during the 1997 third and fourth quarters.  During the first half of
1996, the Company received $40.2 million from the sales of investments in two
unconsolidated affiliates.

During the first six months of 1997, the Company purchased 306,500 shares of
its common stock at a cost of $12.1 million.  At its April 17, 1997, meeting,
the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new program to purchase up to
$100 million of the Company's outstanding common stock.  As of June 30, 1997,
$90.4 million of additional common stock may be purchased under this
authorization.  The Company may make further purchases during 1997, but is not
committed to purchase a specific number of shares.  

Dividend payments in 1997 were $.20 per share in each of the first two
quarters, totaling $11.2 million for the six-month period.  Dividends declared
for the 1997 third quarter to be paid in September were also $.20 per share.
The debt-to-capitalization ratio (debt divided by debt plus equity) was 42.5%
at June 30, 1997, compared with 45.1% at December 31, 1996.

On April 18, 1997, the Company established a $150 million Medium Term Note
Program, committing to this program the remaining amount available under an
existing shelf registration statement filed in 1996.  Upon issuance, each
series of notes may mature nine months or more from date of issue and may have
either a fixed or floating rate of interest.  The remaining borrowing capacity
under this program at June 30, 1997, was $100 million.  The Company also
maintains a revolving credit agreement with a consortium of U.S. and non-U.S.
banks expiring in 2001 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, 1997, was $143.5
million.  In addition to this agreement, the Company has uncommitted
arrangements with various banks to provide short-term financing as necessary. 

On June 27, 1997, the Company issued a notice calling for redemption of its 6%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures on July 28, 1997.  The Debentures were due
to mature on October 15, 2002.  The Debentures were convertible into common
shares of Aeroquip-Vickers, Inc. through the redemption date at a conversion
price of $52.50 per share.  Prior to the redemption date, Debentures in the
amount of $3.7 million were submitted for conversion into 70,950 shares of
common stock.  The redemption price of the remaining Debentures, outstanding
in the amount of $96.3 million, was equal to 100.6%.  The Company used $50
million of available borrowing capacity under its Medium Term Note Program and
short-term borrowings to redeem the Debentures.  The pretax loss from
redemption of the Debentures amounting to $1.5 million will be recognized in
the 1997 third quarter.

The Company expects that cash flow from operating activities and remaining
available credit lines will be sufficient to meet normal operating
requirements, including payment of debt obligations maturing in the near term,
and planned capital expenditures.
