                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

Sales for the three-month period ended April 30, 1995 were $13,131,816 compared
to $11,737,142 for the three-month period ended April 30, 1994, an increase of
$1,394,674 or 11.9%. The increase in sales was due primarily to higher sales in
the Fluid Handling segment of the business. The backlog at April 30, 1995 was
13.3% higher compared to the backlog at the beginning of the fiscal year.
Bookings of new orders were 15.3% higher for the three-month period ended April
30, 1995 than for the three-month period ended April 30, 1994. The length of
time required to engineer, manufacture and ship some of the pollution control
systems, combined with contract requirements, will cause shipments to vary from
quarter to quarter.

Income before taxes for the three-month period ended April 30, 1995 was
$1,850,350 compared to $1,415,188 for the three-month period ended April 30,
1994, an increase of $435,162 or 30.7%. The increase in income before taxes is
related to a combination of factors. Increased sales of $1,394,674 for the
three-month period ended April 30, 1995, combined with the improvement in the
gross profit margin of 0.4%, contributed approximately $523,000 to income before
taxes.

The gross profit margin for the three-month period ended April 30, 1995 was
34.2% compared to 33.8% for the same period last year. The improvement in the
gross profit margin can be attributed to higher sales volume and product mix
within both segments of the business.

Selling expense increased $109,454 during the three-month period ended April 30,
1995 compared to the same period last year. This is due primarily to an increase
in staffing levels. Selling expense as a percentage of sales was 8.6%, which is
virtually flat, compared to the three-month period ended April 30, 1994.

General and administrative expense was $1,645,585 for the three-month period
ended April 30, 1995 compared to $1,589,962 for the same period last year.
General and administrative expense as a percentage of sales declined to 12.5%
for the three-month period ended April 30, 1995 from 13.5% for the same period
last year.

Other income, net, primarily interest income, increased $77,539 for the
three-month period ended April 30, 1995 compared to the three-month period ended
April 30, 1994 due to higher cash balances available for investment combined
with higher short-term interest rates.

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Liquidity
- - ---------

The Company's cash and cash equivalents amounted to $7,373,918 on April 30, 1995
and $6,648,380 on January 31, 1995, an increase of $725,538. This increase is
the net result of positive cashflow provided by operating activities of
approximately $1,272,000 and proceeds received from the exercise of stock
options of approximately $300,000, offset by payments of long-term debt
totalling approximately $292,000 and the acquisition of property and equipment
amounting to approximately $575,000. The Company's cash flows from operating
activities are affected by the timing of shipments and negotiated standard
payment terms, including retention associated with major projects.

Accounts receivable (net) amounted to $9,540,058 on April 30, 1995 compared to
$8,107,243 on January 31, 1995, which represents an increase of $1,432,815. The
timing and size of shipments combined with retainage on contracts, especially in
the Pollution Control Systems and Allied Equipment segment, will influence
accounts receivable balances at any point in time.

Inventories were $11,188,361 on April 30, 1995 compared to $10,693,734 on
January 31, 1995, an increase of $494,627. Inventory balances fluctuate
depending upon the business segment involved, the number of contracts in
progress, and lead times required. This is especially true in the Pollution
Control Systems and Allied Equipment segment.

Current liabilities amounted to $12,654,765 on April 30, 1995 compared to
$9,506,301 on January 31, 1995, an increase of $3,148,464. Accounts payable,
accrued expenses and customers' advances accounted for approximately $1,736,000
of the increase. The balance amounting to approximately $1,411,000 is related to
the dividend payable on May 12, 1995. In the prior year, a cash dividend of
approximately $780,000 was declared and paid in the first quarter.

The Company has consistently maintained a high "current ratio" and has made
little use of its established lines of credit. Funds, in general, have exceeded
the current needs of the Company. The Company presently foresees no change in
this situation.


Capital Resources and Requirements
- - ----------------------------------

Cash flows provided by operating activities during the three-month period ended
April 30, 1995 amounted to $1,272,275 compared with $1,225,862 in the
three-month period ended April 30, 1994, an increase of $46,413. This increase
is the result of higher accounts receivable resulting from increased sales
activity, and higher inventory balances required to meet future business
commitments.

Cash flows used in investing activities during the three-month period ended
April 30, 1995 amounted to $575,348 compared with $201,272 for the three-month
period ended April 30, 1994. The Company's investing activities represent the
acquisition of property, plant, and equipment in the combined operations. During
the three-month period ended April 30, 1995, the Company purchased land in
Waukegan, Illinois, at a cost of $395,000 in conjunction with a 22,000 square
foot building to be constructed for the Stiles-Kem Division.

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Financing activities during the three-month period ended April 30, 1995 provided
cash of $4,240 compared to a use of cash of $1,154,003 for the three-month
period ended April 30, 1994. Cash used for the three-month period ended April
30, 1994 includes the payment of dividends of approximately $780,000. During the
three-month period ended April 30, 1995, the Company received proceeds of
$299,990 from the exercise of stock options. The current year's dividend,
amounting to approximately $1,411,000, was paid on May 12, 1995.

Consistent with past practices, the Company will continue to invest in new
product development programs, and to make capital expenditures to support the
on-going operations during the coming year. The Company expects to finance all
capital expenditures requirements through cash flows generated from operations.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS





To the Board of Directors
Met-Pro Corporation and its
  Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries
Harleysville, Pennsylvania

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Met-Pro Corporation and its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries as of April 30, 1995 and
the related condensed consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for
the three-month periods ended April 30, 1995 and 1994. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for them
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the balance sheet as of January 31, 1995 and the related statements
of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated February 23, 1995, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of January 31, 1995 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation
to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.
