NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
MOORE PRODUCTS CO.
September 30, 1996

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and in compliance with the Instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
1996.

The balance sheet at December 31, 1995, has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date.

Primary earnings per share have been computed using the average number of shares
of Common Stock and dilutive Common Stock equivalents (stock options)
outstanding during the period and subtracting the Preferred Stock dividends,
declared or cumulative even though not declared, from net income. Unless
antidilutive, fully diluted earnings per share are computed based upon the
assumption that the Preferred Stock shares were converted into Common Stock as
of the beginning of the period and no Preferred Stock dividends were paid. The
average number of common shares used to compute primary earnings per share were
2,620,191 shares and 2,083,092 shares for the nine month periods ended September
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively; and 2,617,204 shares and 2,083,092 shares for
the three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
average number of common shares used to compute fully diluted earnings per share
were 2,690,446 shares and 2,083,092 shares for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively; and 2,687,885 shares and 2,083,092
shares for the three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1995.

Note C - Gain from Early Retirement Program

Selling, research and development, administrative and general expenses for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1996, include an estimated, special,
pretax net gain of $1,300,000, recorded in the second quarter, for the combined
net effect of settlements, curtailments and special termination benefits in
connection with an early retirement program offered to certain eligible
employees in the United States.


Note D - Loss on Joint-Venture Restructuring

Selling, research and development, administrative and general expenses for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1996, include a special pretax charge of
$1,000,000, recorded in the second quarter, consisting principally of a
provision to write-off certain carrying values of assets related to its
joint-venture investment in Brazil. The provision was based on a special review
of the operations and decisions to refocus business activities in Brazil and
certain South American markets.


Note E - Credit Agreements

Adding to the Company's existing lines of credit, a new credit facility totaling
5,000,000 Canadian dollars was entered into by the Company's Canadian subsidiary
in May 1996. Under terms of this new agreement, the lender has a security
interest in the assets of the Canadian subsidiary, except for real estate. The
loan agreement requires maintenance of certain restrictive financial covenants.
Cash advances will be made at rates tied to the Canadian bank's prime rate plus
1/2%, which was 6.25% as of September 30, 1996.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Results of Operations.


When compared with the same periods in 1996, sales increased 28% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, and increased 20% for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, due to a higher volume of products shipped. Systems sales
were especially strong for the nine and three month periods. Cost of goods sold
increased in response to the higher sales but were also affected by product mix
and higher manufacturing costs. As a result gross profit margins in both the
three month and nine month periods declined from 1995 to 1996.

Selling, research and development, administrative and general expenses increased
approximately 11% and 5%, respectively, in the nine and three month periods
ended September 30, 1996, compared to the same periods last year. Higher payroll
and payroll-related costs were the primary reasons for this increase. Throughout
the past year, the Company has increased staffing levels in sales and product
support areas of the organization in anticipation of higher levels of business
activity.

As previously reported, selling, research and development, administrative and
general expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 include two
special adjustments. A $1.3 million gain resulting from the settlement of
benefits relating to an early retirement offer to certain United States
employees was recognized in the second quarter. Unrelated to this transaction,
the Company recorded a loss of $1.0 million for the write-off of assets related
to an international joint-venture. In evaluating various business strategies it
was determined that the Company would refocus its business activities in Brazil
and certain South American markets resulting in this write-off.

The nontraditional relationship of income tax to pretax income as of September
30, 1996, is the result of mixed operating results in various countries.
Statutory rates are applied to pretax income in the United States. Consistent
with previous reporting periods, tax benefits for losses incurred by certain
international subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions outside the United States have
not been recognized for financial reporting purposes because the realization of
such benefits is not presently considered likely.

Increased demand for the Company's products and services has continued in 1996.
For the first nine months of 1996, consolidated orders received by the Company
were approximately 17% higher than for the corresponding period in 1995. The
consolidated backlog of unshipped orders as of September 30 was $39,391,000 in
1996 compared to $37,730,000 in 1995.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of the 
         Results of Operations. (continued)

Sales and production cycle of large-scale systems and gage products will
significantly influence shipments from one quarter to the next. Significantly
higher shipments for the fourth quarter of 1996 are not currently expected.

The Company's working capital continues to be positive. The Company maintains
bank lines of credit in anticipation of short-term cash requirements during the
year. During 1996 a new five million Canadian dollar credit facility was entered
into to supplement previously existing credit lines. At October 31, 1996, total
borrowing capacity under all lines of credit was approximately $15,750,000, and
outstanding borrowings under these lines totaled approximately $4,130,000.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

The Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, essentially provide that
(i) holders of the Company's Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, as and
when declared by the Board, cumulative dividends at the rate of 5% ($.05 per
share), (ii) such dividends may be declared and paid quarterly, semi-annually or
annually in the discretion of the Board, and (iii) if full cumulative dividends
in cash or in Preferred Shares have not been paid or declared and set aside for
payment for the first three quarters of any fiscal year, no dividend may be paid
or distribution made on the Company's Common Shares (other than dividends
payable in Common Shares) until full cumulative dividends in cash or in
Preferred Shares for such year and all prior periods have been paid or declared
and set aside for payment.

Traditionally, the Company has paid cash dividends on both its Common and
Preferred Shares quarterly, and that practice continued through the first
quarter of 1993. However, in recognition of the difficult business climate, no
dividends on either Preferred or Common Shares have been paid or declared and
set aside for payment since March 1, 1993, and it is uncertain when the payment
of dividends will recommence. The cumulative arrearage in Preferred Share
dividends through the end of the Company's third quarter of 1996 (calculated on
a quarterly basis) was $30,791.

                     Amendment to Articles of Incorporation
