Messrs. Curry, Moran and Wisniewski are the sole members of the Moore
Products Co. Benefits Committee. Under the governing instruments of the Moore
Products Co. Pension Plan and Trust, voting and dispositive power with respect
to the 500,000 shares of Moore Products Co. Common Stock held by the Pension
Plan is vested in the Benefits Committee, subject to certain exceptions.

However, decisions of the Benefits Committee on these matters must be made by a
majority of the members of the Committee. The filing of this Schedule 13G shall
not be construed as an admission that the aforesaid members of the Benefits
Committee are, for the purposes of 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, the beneficial owners of the shares held by the Pension Plan.

The 500,000 Moore Products Co. shares held by the Pension Plan constitute 19.3%
of the Common Stock outstanding, but only 14.4% of the voting securities, since
the 175,590 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding generally vote with the Common
Stock as a single class, and each preferred Share is entitled to five votes. The
Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock as the rate of one share of
Common Stock for each two and one half shares of Preferred Stock.

Item 5   Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class: If this statement is
being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting
person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the

Item 9   Notice of Dissolution of Group:
                                    N/A

Item 10  Certification: By signing below I certify that, to the best of my
knowledge and belief, the securities referred to above were acquired in the
ordinary course of business and were not acquired for the purpose of and do not
have the effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer of such
securities and were not acquired in connection with or as a participant in any
transaction having such purposes or effect.
