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

This report contains various forward-looking statements and includes assumptions
concerning Moore Products Co.'s ("Moore") operations, future results and
prospects. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations
and subject to risks and uncertainties. Moore does not undertake any obligation
to publicly release the results of any revisions that may be made to these
forward-looking statements to reflect any future events or circumstances.

In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Moore provides this cautionary statement
identifying important factors that, among others, could cause the actual results
and events to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by
forward-looking statements and related assumptions. Such factors include, but
are not limited to: product demand and market acceptance risks; the effect of
global economic conditions; the impact of competitive products and pricing;
product development, commercialization and technological difficulties; capacity
and supply constraints or difficulties; availability of capital resources;
general business conditions; changes in government laws and regulations,
including taxes; and uncertainties related to Year 2000 issues. Further
information concerning factors that potentially could materially affect Moore's
financial results is included in Moore's Form 10-K, 10-Q and other reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Results of Operations

Sales for the second quarter of 1999 were $41,572,000 compared to $43,642,000
for the same period last year, a 5% decrease. Year-to-date sales for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 were $80,773,000 compared to $81,998,000 for the same
period last year, a 1% decrease. Higher sales of process automation systems in
the United States and Canada were offset by lower systems sales in Europe and
lower sales of other product lines on a global basis.

Order bookings for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 were $39,081,000 compared
to $43,457,000 for the same period last year, a 10% decrease. Year-to-date order
bookings decreased by 6% to $83,331,000 from $88,782,000. While 1999 order
bookings for process automation systems remain strong in the United States and
Asia-Pacific, our United Kingdom subsidiary experienced a reduction in order
bookings due to order bookings in 1998 of approximately $7 million for large
process automation systems that were not repeated in the current year. The
consolidated backlog of unshipped orders as of June 30, 1999 was $46,274,000
compared to $44,364,000 as of June 30, 1998. Approximately 85% of this backlog
is expected to be shipped in 1999.

                                       10
<PAGE>


Gross profit for the quarter was $16,776,000, or 40% of sales, compared to
$17,380,000, or 40% of sales, for the second quarter of 1998. Gross profit
year-to-date was $$33,874,000, or 42% of sales, compared to $33,190,000, or 40%
of sales, in 1998. The gross profit margin percentage on a year-to-date basis
increased compared to last year mostly due to product mix that included higher
sales of process automation systems and services in 1999.

Selling, research and development, administrative and general expenses for the
second quarter were $15,332,000, or 37% of sales, compared to $14,841,000, or
34% of sales in 1998. These expenses year-to-date were $30,483,000, or 38% of
sales, compared to $28,749,000, or 35% of sales, in 1998. Higher payroll and
other expenses related to new product development and marketing were the primary
reasons for these increases.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 1999 was $37,000 compared to $20,000
for the same quarter last year. Year-to-date interest expense was $43,000
compared to $20,000 for the same six month period in 1998. This increase from
last year was attributed to an increase in short-term borrowing activity in
1999.

Moore's second quarter effective tax rate was 24% of pretax income compared to
46% for the same period in 1998. The quarterly effective tax rate was impacted
by improved operating results in countries for which tax loss carryover benefits
are available. The year-to-date effective tax rate was 42% of pretax income, the
same rate as the first six months of 1998. 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 fully recognized for
financial reporting purposes because the realization of such benefits is not
presently assured.

Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 1999 was $1,072,000 compared to
net income of $1,356,000 for the second quarter of 1998. For the six months
ended June 30, 1999, net income was $1,956,000 compared to $2,559,000 for the
same period in 1998. Diluted net income per share was $0.38 for the second
quarter of 1999 compared to $0.47 for the second quarter of 1998. For the six
months ended June 30, 1999, diluted net income per share was $0.70 compared to
$0.88 in 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents decreased during the six month period ended June 30,
1999 by $3,633,000. This decrease was the result of negative cash flow from
operating activities, capital expenditures and a special 22-cent per share cash
dividend on the common stock. Capital expenditures were primarily related to
facilities and equipment in support of sales and marketing promotion and product
development.

Working capital decreased slightly at June 30, 1999, to $39,395,000 from
$40,000,000 at December 31, 1998. Accounts receivable declined $1,934,000 in the
first six months of 1999 due to improvements in receivable turnover. During the
first six months of 1999, inventory levels increased by $5,114,000 reflecting an
increase in work in process inventory and customer backlog for process

                                       11
<PAGE>

automation systems. Advances from customers have also increased by $2,301,000
for the same reason.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $3,916,000 at June 30, 1999. Moore had no
outstanding advances under credit arrangements at June 30, 1999. During the
second quarter, Moore invested approximately $1.0 million in new business
ventures. This included the acquisition of Verax Systems, a developer of
statistical process control software for industrial manufacturing applications
and a complementary extension to Moore's dimensional measurement solutions for
discrete parts manufacturers. Moore also completed a joint venture in France to
enhance its distribution capabilities in Europe and North Africa. Management
believes that current cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, and
its established credit facilities of approximately $16,000,000 should be
sufficient during 1999 to fund planned capital expenditures, working capital
needs, dividends, and other anticipated cash requirements.

Year 2000 Readiness

As more fully described in Moore's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998, Moore has undertaken a program to evaluate, test and modify
or replace certain software and hardware to try to assure no disruption in
operations beyond December 31, 1999. Moore has evaluated its internal, general
purpose and production hardware and software systems, as well as any embedded
logic devices used to control equipment or facilities, to identify any elements
requiring modification to become Year 2000 compliant. In addition, Moore has
communicated with key suppliers of goods and services and customers to determine
their state of Year 2000 readiness.

Moore's significant computer systems have been upgraded, modified, tested and
are believed to be compliant.

Moore has made an assessment of its current product offerings and believes that
it has identified all products that have date-sensitive software or embedded
chips. Analysis by a team of Moore's development engineers suggests that Year
2000 and other date-sensitive compliance should have minimal impact on Moore's
products. Testing to confirm proper operation for the potentially affected
products was completed in the second quarter of 1999.

Amounts expended for Year 2000 projects have not been and are not expected to be
significant to Moore's results of operations or financial condition. The total
costs of Year 2000 projects, incurred to date and/or expected to be incurred,
are currently estimated to be $750,000.

Management believes that it has an effective program in place to resolve the
Year 2000 issue in a timely manner. Because of the range of possible issues and
the large number of variables involved, it is impossible to quantify the
potential cost of problems should Moore or its trading partners fail to complete
all Year 2000 plans and become completely Year 2000 compliant. The current
assessment is that such costs and failure of compliance efforts would not have a
materially adverse effect on the Company. Moore believes that the most likely
risks of serious Year 2000 business disruption are external in nature, including
disruption of utility and transportation services, customers' noncompliance, and
disruptions in the general economy. To the extent that these factors impact the

                                       12
<PAGE>

Company's sales or ability to deliver its products and services, they could have
a materially adverse effect on the Company. In addition, Moore could be subject
to litigation relating to Year 2000 compliance issues. The amount of potential
liability and lost revenue cannot be reasonably assessed or estimated at this
time.

Moore is preparing contingency plans relating specifically to identified Year
2000 risks and developing cost estimates relating to these plans. Contingency
plans may include increasing inventory levels, securing alternative sources of
supply and other appropriate measures. Moore anticipates completion of the Year
2000 contingency plans during the third quarter of fiscal 1999. Once developed,
Year 2000 contingency plans and related cost estimates will be reviewed and
modified as additional information becomes available.

Market and Other Risks

Moore's primary development and manufacturing activities are located in the
United States. Increasing sales of its products into international markets make
Moore vulnerable to such factors as foreign currency exchange rates or weak
economic conditions in such markets. Moore's operating results are exposed to
changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar, the
U.K. pound sterling, and other currencies in Western Europe and Asia-Pacific. To
a certain extent, foreign currency exchange rate movements affect Moore's
competitive position, as exchange rate changes may influence business practices
and/or pricing strategies of non-U.S. based competitors. In addition,
transactions between the U.S. parent company and its international subsidiaries,
which are generally denominated in U.S. dollars, are subject to gains or losses
in the consolidated financial statements. Moore does not typically hedge these
transactions but attempts to limit exposure to these situations by timely
settlement of the U.S. dollar liabilities in the subsidiary locations. Moore
maintains lines of credit in Canada and the United Kingdom to help facilitate
this approach. Foreign exchange transaction gains in the first six months of
1999 amounted to approximately $70,000. The Economic Monetary Union (EMU) has
initiated changes to monetary policy and foreign exchange, including adoption of
the Euro as a single currency for several European countries. Based upon Moore's
current business structure in Europe, it is anticipated that these changes will
not have a material impact on Moore. Throughout 1999, Moore will continue to
evaluate the implications of this change, including, but not limited to,
financial and statutory reporting, the structure of business transactions,
business systems that might be required to support the change, and its relative
competitive position in geographic markets that participate in the EMU.
