            NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)



Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

         The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the
financial  statements  include all material  adjustments,  consisting  solely of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's
financial  position,  results of operations and cash flows.  The results of this
interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

Inventories

         Inventories  are  valued  at the  lower  of  cost  or  market.  Cost of
inventories is determined principally by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.

Income Taxes

         Provisions for income tax in  the amounts of $2,138,000 and $ 1,911,000
were recorded for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, 
respectively.

Property Held for Sale

         The Company's Scranton, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility, classified
as Property Held for Sale at December 31, 1995, was sold on January 31,1996,  at
a gain of 854,000.

Goodwill

         The  Company  amortizes  Goodwill on the  straight  line basis over the
estimated  period to be  benefitted.  The  acquisitions  of  National  Northeast
Corporation,  National Southeast Aluminum Corporation, and Heat Exchangers, Inc.
in 1995 resulted in goodwill of 7,090,000 which will be amortized over 25 years.
The acquisitions of Rowe Machinery and Automation, Inc., and Omega Flex, Inc. in
1996,  as more fully  described  in Note 2,  resulted in goodwill of  $7,729,000
which will be amortized  over 25 years.  The Company  continually  evaluates the
carrying  value  of  goodwill.  Any  impairments  would be  recognized  when the
expected  future  operating  cash flows  derived from such goodwill is less than
their carrying value.

Note 2 - Business Acquisitions

         On February 5, 1996, the Company  acquired  certain assets of the press
feeding and cut-to-length  line businesses of Rowe Machinery and Automation Inc.
of Dallas,  Texas ("Rowe").  Rowe is a leading manufacturer of press feeding and
cut-to-length   line  equipment   serving  the  appliance,   office   furniture,
automotive, and many other markets. The purchase price paid was approximately $5
million, including the assumption of certain liabilities.  Mestek will lease the
Rowe facility in Dallas including all machinery and equipment through the end of
1996 at a cost of $40,000 per month.

         On  February  2,  1996,  the  company  acquired  all of the  issued and
outstanding common stock of Omega Flex, Inc. of Exton  Pennsylvania.  Omega Flex
is a  manufacturer  of flexible  metal hose and  related  hose  fabrication  the
purchase price paid for the acquired stock was  approximately $9 million.  Omega
Flex has leased its  manufacturing and office facility through January 31, 2000,
for $199,500 per year.

                                     =================         ================



         On January 1, 1992, the Company entered into a Revolving Loan Agreement
and Letter of Credit  Facility (the  "Agreement")  with a commercial  bank.  The
Agreement,  originally  set to expire on  January  1,  1993,  has been  extended
through July 1, 1996. It provides $48 million of unsecured  revolving credit and
standby letter of credit capacity.  Borrowings under the Agreement bear interest
at a  floating  rate  based on the  bank's  prime  rate  less  1.00%  or, at the
discretion  of the  borrower,  LIBOR plus a quoted market factor and may be used
for working capital or acquisition  purposes,  or to retire previously  incurred
debt.  Management  expects to renew the Revolving  Loan  Agreement and Letter of
Credit Facility on a one year basis prior to July 31, 1996.

         On April 5, 1996 the  Company  borrowed  15,000,000  from a  commercial
insurance company on an unsecured basis, executing a Note Purchase Agreement and
the related Senior Notes,  (The Notes).  The Notes mature March 1, 1998 and bear
interest at 5.53%.  The Note Purchase  Agreement  contains a number of financial
covenants which limit the Company's overall debt, its dividends, and, in certain
circumstances,  its  ability to effect  acquisitions  and/or  divestitures.  The
Company's  management  does not believe that these  limiations  will  materially
affect the Company's operations or future strategic plans.


 Note 5 - Earnings Per Common Share

         Earnings per share were computed  using the weighted  average number of
common shares outstanding.


<PAGE>



Note 6 - Shareholders Equity

         The Company continued its program of selective "open market"  purchases
of its common stock in 1996.  45,500 common shares were acquired in this  manner
in the three monthperiod ended March 31, 1996, and are accounted for as treasury
shares.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation

         Total  Revenues in the Company's  HVAC segment during the first quarter
of 1996 were  increased  relative to the first quarter of 1995, by $3,654,000 or
7.7%,  reflecting  the  effect of the  Company's  1995  acquisitions  as well as
improved   performances  from  the  Industrial  Products  and  Air  Distribution
divisions which offset continuing weakness in residential products. Gross profit
margins for the HVAC segment  were  increased  slightly  (from 27.32% to 28.36%)
from the first quarter of 1995 reflecting the effect of moderating  inflation on
the Company's labor and material costs. Operating income for this segment was up
from  $3,013,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to $3,430,000 in the first quarter
of 1996.

         During the first quarter of 1996,  Total Revenues  increased  76.7% for
the Company's  equipment handling segment relative to the first quarter of 1995,
reflecting the acquisition of Rowe Machinery and Automation, Inc. on February 6,
1996.  Although  Gross Profit  margins were reduced due to  transitional  issues
effecting Rowe,  operating income for this segment was up 22.2% from $646,000 to
$790,000.   The  Company's  computer  systems  segment  also  reported  improved
Revenues, Gross Profit margins and Operating income figures.

         For the Company as a whole, Selling,  General and Administrative,   and
Engineering costs, taken together as a percentage of Total Revenues,  were  
slightly reduced from 21.1% to 20.8%.

         Operating  income for the first  quarter  of 1996 for the  Company as a
whole, increased by $1,386,000 or 33.2% reflecting the effects of increased HVAC
volume, improved performances,  as mentioned above, from the Company's Equipment
Handling and Computer  Systems  Segments and  contributions  from the  Company's
National  Northeast and Omega-Flex  units,  which were acquired October 30, 1995
and February 2, 1996 , respectively,  and which together  comprise the company's
new Metal Fabricating segment.

         Pretax income for the quarter  ended March 31, 1996  included  $854,000
from the sale of the Company's idle Scranton,  Pennsylvania plant, as more fully
described  in  Note 1 to the  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements.  A
similar nonrecurring gain of $850,000 was recorded in the first quarter of 1995.
Earnings  per share were  increased by $.06 in each quarter as a result of these
transactions. Overall, earnings per share increased 16.7% from $.30 to $.35.

         The  Company's  total  debt  (long-term  debt plus  current  portion of
long-term  debt)   increased   during  the  quarter  ended  March  31,  1996  by
$13,085,000,  principally  due to the  combined  effects  of the Rowe,  National
Northeast, and Omega-Flex acquisitions, offset to same extent by the sale of the
Company's Scranton, Pennsylvania plant. Management regards the Company's current
capital   structure  and  banking   relationships  as  fully  adequate  to  meet
foreseeable future needs. The Company has not paid dividends on its common stock
since 1979.
