FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

Forward-looking statements contained in this and other written and oral reports

such, are subject in the future to unforeseen uncertainties and risks. All
statements regarding future performance, events or developments, including
statements related to earnings accretion and synergies to be realized in the

pricing; increases in raw-material costs which cannot be recovered in product
pricing; global economic factors, including currency exchange rates and
difficulties entering new markets; failure of the merger to be consummated;
ability to successfully integrate Commercial Intertech's business with Parker's;
and factors noted in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by Parker in
