      including those issued as a result of the stock split.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1.       In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
         consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
         present fairly the financial position as of October 31, 1995 and the
         results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
         October 31, 1995 and 1994 and the statement of cash flows for the
         nine-month periods then ended. The results of operations for the
         three-month and nine-month periods ended October 31, 1995 are not
         necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.



2.       Margolis & Company P.C., the Company's auditors, has performed a
         limited review of the financial information included herein. Their
         report on such review accompanies this filing.



3.       Inventories were comprised of the following:

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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Sales for the nine-month period ended October 31, 1995 were $40,836,917 compared
to $37,121,444 for the nine-month period ended October 31, 1994, an increase of
$3,715,473 or 10.0%. This increase was due to higher sales activity in both the
Fluid Handling and the Pollution Control Systems and Allied Equipment segments
of the business. The backlog at October 31, 1995 was 11.6% higher compared to
the backlog at the beginning of the fiscal year. Bookings of new orders were
6.5% higher for the nine-month period ended October 31, 1995 than for the
nine-month period ended October 31, 1994. The length of time required to design,
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 nine-month period ended October 31, 1995 was
$5,929,469 compared to $4,606,737 for the nine-month period ended October 31,
1994, an increase of $1,322,732 or 28.7%. The increase in income before taxes is
related to a combination of factors. The increase in sales of $3,715,473 for the
nine-month period ended October 31, 1995 contributed $1,676,711 and the increase
in other income contributed $213,316, which was offset by increased operating
expenses of $567,295.

The gross profit margin for the nine-month period ended October 31, 1995 was
34.1%, compared to 33.0% the same period last year. The increase in gross profit
of 1.1% can be attributed to a combination of product mix within both the Fluid
Handling and the Pollution Control and Allied Equipment segments, combined with
effective cost control measures.

Selling expense increased $422,461 during the nine-month period ended October
31, 1995 compared to the same period last year primarily due to an increase in
staffing levels. Selling expense as a percentage of sales was 8.6% for the
nine-month period ended October 31, 1995, compared with 8.3% for the nine-month
period ended October 31, 1994.

General and administrative expense was $4,879,692 for the nine-month period
ended October 31, 1995 compared to $4,734,858 for the same period last year.
General and administrative expense as a percentage of sales declined to 11.9%
for the nine-month period ended October 31, 1995 from 12.8% for the same period
last year.

Other income, net, increased $213,316 for the nine-month period ended October
31, 1995 compared to the nine-month period ended October 31, 1994. Other income,
which is comprised primarily of interest income, increased due to higher cash
balances combined with slightly 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 $7,194,985 on October 31,
1995 and $6,648,380 on January 31, 1995, an increase of $546,605. This increase
is the result of positive cash flow provided by operating activities of
$4,570,266 and proceeds received from the exercise of stock options of $299,990,
offset by payments of long-term debt totalling $883,597, the acquisition of
property and equipment amounting to $1,454,864, the acquisition of treasury
shares of $589,748 and the payment of dividends of $1,411,308. The Board of
Directors declared a 3-for-2 stock split and an annual cash dividend of $ .30
per share payable on May 12, 1995, to shareholders of record on April 7, 1995.
The dividend was paid on all outstanding shares, including the additional shares
issued as a result of the stock split. This constituted an 80% increase in the
cash dividend compared to the previous year.

Accounts receivable (net) amounted to $9,239,326 on October 31, 1995 compared to
$8,107,243 on January 31, 1995, which represents an increase of $1,132,083. 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.

In August, 1995, loans of $300,000 were authorized to be made to the Employee
Stock Ownership Trust to enable the Trust to acquire shares of the Company's
stock to be used against future contributions.

Inventories were $11,394,952 on October 31, 1995 compared to $10,693,734 on
January 31, 1995, an increase of $701,218. Inventory balances fluctuate
depending upon the business segment involved, the number of contracts in
progress, and lead times required.

Current liabilities amounted to $11,558,816 on October 31, 1995 compared to
$9,506,301 on January 31, 1995, an increase of $2,052,515. Accounts payable and
accrued expenses accounted for $1,897,460 of the increase. The balance amounting
to $150,410 is related to customers' advances on projects in progress.

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 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 nine-month period ended
October 31, 1995 amounted to $4,570,266 compared with $3,782,123 in the
nine-month period ended October 31, 1994, an increase of $788,143.

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine-month period ended October
31, 1995 amounted to $1,454,864 compared with $858,631 for the nine-month period
ended October 31, 1994. The Company's investing activities represent the
acquisition of property, plant, and equipment in the combined operations. During
the nine-month period ended October 31, 1995, the Company purchased land in
Waukegan, Illinois and commenced construction of a 22,000 square foot building
for the Stiles-Kem Division. In addition, the Company expanded the business
offices of Mefiag B.V., a subsidiary located in Heerenveen, Holland.

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

Financing activities during the nine-month period ended October 31, 1995
required the use of cash of $2,584,663 compared to a use of cash of $1,964,402
for the nine-month period ended October 31, 1994. Cash used for the nine-month
period ended October 31, 1995 includes the payment of dividends of $1,411,308,
the reduction of debt of $883,597, the acquisition of treasury shares of
$589,748, offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options amounting to
$299,990.

On June 12, 1995, Met-Pro's Board of Directors announced a stock repurchase plan
to buyback up to 75,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. The Company has
purchased 42,700 shares under the program as of October 31, 1995.

Consistent with past practices, the Company will continue to invest in new
product development programs, and will 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 October 31, 1995 and
the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended October 31, 1995 and 1994 and of cash flows for the
nine-month periods ended October 31, 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.
