                      PUROLATOR AUTOMOTIVE FILTER BUSINESS
                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                JANUARY 31, 1999


1.  THE PUROLATOR AUTOMOTIVE FILTER BUSINESS AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
    POLICIES

    As of January 31, 1999, Mark IV Industries, Inc. (Mark IV) was the owner 
    of a number of operating divisions and subsidiaries which made up its 
    Purolator Automotive Filter Business (the Filter Business or the Company).
    Such operating divisions and subsidiaries are as follows:

    >>  Purolator Products Company (PPC)
    >>  Purolator Products NA, Inc.
    >>  Facet Advanced Technology Company
    >>  M-Filter OY
    >>  Foreign Distributors

    The Foreign Distributors represent Filter Business activities in Canada,
    Italy, Germany and Australia, each operating as a division of a first or
    second-tier subsidiary of Mark IV.

    On February 26, 1999, all of the above business units were sold by Mark IV
    (or an affiliate) to Arvin Industries, Inc. (Arvin), or one of its
    affiliates.

    The accompanying combined balance sheet includes the accounts of the Filter
    Business as of January 31, 1999, and all significant inter-company
    transactions have been eliminated. Such combined balance sheet has been
    prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which
    require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
    reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of such financial
    statements. It should be recognized that the actual results could differ
    from those estimates. The Filter Business' significant accounting policies
    are as follows:

    Concentrations of Credit Risk

    Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentra-
    tions of credit risk consist principally of its trade accounts receivable.
    The credit risk associated with such  receivables is minimal due to the
    Company's large customer base and ongoing control procedures which monitor
    the creditworthiness of customers.

    Inventories

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined
    primarily on the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method.  Tool crib inventories
    are expensed as consumed.

    Customer Acquisition Costs

    Non-standard pricing concessions and inventory replacement costs ("lifts")
    incurred to secure new business are deferred initially and amortized over
    the related contract term.

                      PUROLATOR AUTOMOTIVE FILTER BUSINESS
                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                JANUARY 31, 1999


    Property, Plant and Equipment

    Property, plant and equipment are presented at cost, net of accumulated
    depreciation. The cost of property, plant and equipment retired or
    otherwise disposed of, and the accumulated depreciation thereon, are
    eliminated from the asset and related accumulated depreciation
    accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. The
    Filter Business provides for depreciation of plant and equipment
    primarily on the straight-line method to amortize the cost of such
    plant and equipment over its useful life.

    Cost in Excess of Net Assets Acquired

    Cost in excess of net assets acquired (goodwill) is amortized on the
    straight-line method over 40 years. The Company continually evaluates
    the existence of goodwill impairment on the basis of whether the
    goodwill is fully recoverable from projected, undiscounted net cash
    flows of the related business.

    Foreign Currency

    The assets and liabilities of the Filter Business' foreign operations
    have been translated at exchange rates in effect as of the balance
    sheet date, and resulting gains and losses have been included as a part
    of net assets. Foreign currency transactions are included in income as
    realized.

    Income Taxes

    Mark IV accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial
    Accounting Standards No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes. This
    statement requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and
    liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
    differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets
    and liabilities. The Company's provision for income taxes has been
    calculated on the separate return basis.

2.  REPOSITIONING ACTIVITY

    Prior to January 31, 1999, Mark IV committed to a plan to improve its
    inventory management practices, consolidate its distribution
    activities, and make certain other changes to restructure the Filter
    Business. As a result, the accompanying combined income statement
    reflects a charge to cost of products sold in the amount of $7.4
    million to provide for the cost of such actions, consisting of the
    following elements (dollars in thousands):

                Inventory valuation                 $3,800
                Warehouse consolidation              2,300
                Facility closure and
                 severance related costs             1,300
                                                     -----
                                                    $7,400
                                                    ======

    The warehouse consolidation costs were incurred in the eleven-month
    period ended January 31, 1999, and included costs to move product into
    a new Distribution Center, as well as temporary freight premiums and
    personnel costs incurred during the transition process. As of January
    31, 1999, all such warehouse consolidation efforts had been completed.

                                JANUARY 31, 1999

    The combined balance sheet as of January 31, 1999 reflects reserves to
    provide for the cost of such actions which have not been completed as
    of such date. The reserves consist of the $3.8 million inventory
    valuation adjustment, and the $1.3 million reserve for facility closure
    and severance related costs, included in accrued expenses.

3.  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

    Accounts receivable are reflected net of an allowance for doubtful
    accounts of approximately $3.1 million as of January 31, 1999.

4.  INVENTORY

    Inventory consists of the following as of January 31, 1999 (dollars in
    thousands):

                  Tool crib items                   $    2,100
                  Purchased materials and parts          9,900
                  Work in process                        5,700

5.  CUSTOMER ACQUISITION COSTS

    Deferred customer acquisition costs are included in other current
    assets, net of their accumulated amortization. The amount of such
    costs at January 31, 1999 was approximately $1.5 million.

6.  JOINT VENTURES

    The Filter Business has a 50% owned joint-venture interest in Purodenso
    Company, a U.S.-based manufacturer of automotive filters and other
    products. The Filter Business also has a 39% interest in Purolator
    India Limited, a manufacturer of filter products based in India. The
    investments in these two businesses are accounted for on the equity
    method in the accompanying combined balance sheet. As of January 31,

                                                      ========

    Depreciation expense was approximately $10.3 million for the eleven-month
    period ended January 31, 1999.

8.  COST IN EXCESS OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED

    Cost in excess of net assets acquired is presented net of accumulated
    amortization of approximately $9.9 million at January 31, 1999.
    Amortization expense was approximately $2.2 million for the
    eleven-month period ended January 31, 1999.

9.  NOTE PAYABLE

    The Filter Business' M-Filter OY unit, based in Finland, has debt
    outstanding with Merita Bank in the amount of $6.3 million at January
    31, 1999. The indebtedness is a demand line of credit, secured by a
    guarantee from Mark IV. The guarantee was replaced by Arvin as a part
    of the sale transaction. The debt bears interest keyed to LIBOR, and
    amounted to approximately 7.0% as of January 31, 1999.

10. INCOME TAXES

    The Company's income before taxes was generated primarily in the United
    States. The related provision for income taxes for the eleven-month
    period ended January 31, 1999 includes $7.3 million which is a currently
    payable expense, and $1.8 million which is a deferred tax benefit.

    The tax effects of temporary differences which give rise to deferred
    tax assets (liabilities) consist of the following at January 31, 1999
    (dollars in thousands):

            Current:
                 Inventories                                $   2,800

11. LEASES

    The Company has operating leases with, in some instances, cost
    escalation and renewal privileges. Total rental expense under operating
    leases was approximately $1.7 million during the eleven-month period
    ended January 31, 1999. Future minimum rental payments under operating
    leases (for fiscal years ended the last day of February) are
    approximately: 2000 - $2.2 million; 2001 - $2.1 million; 2002 - $2.1
    million; 2003 - $1.8 million; 2004 - $1.2 million; and 2005 and
    thereafter - $2.7 million.

12. PENSION AND RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLANS

    The Filter Business' U.S. employees participate in a defined-benefit
    pension plan which is funded and administered by Mark IV. Such plan
    provides retirement benefits based upon the employee's earnings and
    years of service. The plan is a part of Mark IV's Master Defined
    Benefit Plan, and the funded position and responsibility for benefit
    payments to retirees for service through February 26, 1999 remains with
    Mark IV and its related Master Defined Benefit Plan Trust. The service
    cost associated with the Filter Business' employees for the
    eleven-month period ended January 31, 1999 was approximately $1.2
    million, and such amount has been recognized as an expense in the
    accompanying combined statement of income.

    The Filter Business' U.S. employees also participate in a defined
    contribution (401(k)) plan which is also administered by Mark IV. Mark
    IV's contribution match to the 401(k) plan was in the form of Mark IV
    common stock and the accompanying combined statement of income reflects
    an expense of approximately $2.5 million for such cost in the
    eleven-month period ended January 31, 1999. Once Arvin has established
    a Trust for the benefit of the Filter Business employees, all
    applicable funds held in Mark IV's Trust will be transferred over to
    Arvin's Trust.

13. POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS

    The Filter Business currently provides health and life insurance
    benefits to a number of existing retirees from its U.S. operations.
    Contributions currently required to be paid by the retirees towards the
    cost of such plans are based upon the retirees years of service with
    PPC or its subsidiaries. The Filter Business also has a number of
    active employees who may receive such benefits upon their retirement.

    The following table sets forth the liability for the cost of these
    benefits included in the combined balance sheet at January 31, 1999
    (dollars in thousands):

    Accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation (APBO):
      Active employees fully eligible for benefits                  $    400
      Active employees, not yet fully eligible for benefits            1,000
      Existing retirees                                                2,200
                                                                    --------

          Post-retirement benefit liability recognized
           in the combined balance sheet                              $3,600
                                                                    ========

    The Company's post-retirement benefit expense on the accrual method for
    the eleven-month period ended January 31, 1999 includes the following
    components (dollars in thousands):

      Service cost-benefits earned during the period                $    100
      Interest cost on the APBO                                          300
                                                                    --------
          Total expense                                             $    400
                                                                    ========

    The APBO was calculated using a discount rate of 7.0%, and assumes an
    initial health- care cost trend rate of approximately 7.0%, trending
    down ratably to an ultimate rate of 4.5%. A one-percentage-point
    increase in such trend rate would not have a significant effect on the
    Company's obligations or annual expense.

14. LEGAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

    The estate of Jerome Lemelson and related parties have alleged that
    Mark IV, including the Filter Business, has violated certain patents
    held by Lemelson. Costs sought include compensation for past violations
    and the requirement that Mark IV pay future royalties under one or more
    Lemelson patent. As a part of the sale transaction to Arvin, the
    ultimate liability for all such costs related to the operations of the
    Filter Business has been assumed by Arvin. At the present time, it is
    not practical to determine the range of financial exposures assumed by
    Arvin in that regard.

    The Filter Business is involved in various other legal and
    environmental matters. In the opinion of Mark IV management, the
    ultimate cost to resolve these matters will not have a material adverse
    effect on the Filter Business' financial position, results of
    operations or cash flows.

15. ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS AND COMMITMENTS

    A number of lease commitments and other service arrangements were
    provided to the Filter Business by Mark IV on an informal basis, with
    costs allocated on a pre-determined basis in an arms-length manner. As
    a part of the sale transaction between Mark IV and Arvin, a number of
    side agreements (Ancillary Agreements) were entered into in order to
    formalize such shared activities and/or commitments. These agreements
    were established on an arms-length basis, and provide for the following
    arrangements (dollars in thousands):

    >>  Fayetteville Distribution Center - leased from Mark IV at an annual 
        cost of approximately $1.3 million (plus operating costs), for a 
        10-year term, with renewal options.

    >>  Tulsa (Warren Place) Administration Center - leased from Mark IV at an
        annual cost of approximately $500,000 (plus operating costs), through
        June 30, 2000.

    >>  Other Lease Commitments - short-term lease arrangements to and from
        Mark IV, requiring net monthly payments to Mark IV of approximately 
        $21,000.

    >>  Distribution  Agreements  -  administration  and  distribution
        services  provided  by Mark IV in Canada,  Italy,  Germany and
        Australia.  The costs for such services include a fixed charge element
        of  approximately  $60,000 per month,  plus a variable cost  element
        based  upon sales  volume.  Such  services  are expected to be provided
        on a month-to-month basis, for no more than one year.

    >>  Supply  Agreements - certain products will be provided to/from Mark IV
        for sale by the other party,  for a two-year period of time.  The
        agreements  include  specific  pricing and payment terms, with 
        provisions for increases in the event the manufacturing  party incurs a
        certain level of cost increases.  A continuation of such arrangements
        after the initial 2-year period would occur upon the mutual agreement of
        the parties.

                                JANUARY 31, 1999


    >>  Other Transition Services - a number of agreements have been established
        to facilitate each party's ability to operate in the post-closing
        environment with the least amount of disruption, with the intention for 
        each to be completely self-sufficient at the earliest possible date.
        Such agreements provide for the sharing of certain computer hardware and
        personal computer related equipment, transportation equipment, software
        programs and systems, information networks, communication lines, 
        personnel and other items.  The costs for all such services are assessed
        on a monthly basis, to the extent remaining in place, and are expected
        to result initially in a net payment to Mark IV of approximately $25,000
        per month (plus certain directly allocated costs, such as long distance 
        telephone services).  It is anticipated that substantially all of such 
        shared arrangements will be eliminated in less than one year.

    The accompanying combined statement of income for the eleven-month
    period ended January 31, 1999 reflects the cost of the above
    arrangements as if such formal agreements were in effect on March 1,
    1998, the beginning of such period.

16. OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    Mark IV provides or coordinates treasury, tax, audit, legal, medical
    and risk insurance, and employee benefits administration services to
    the various operating locations of the Filter Business. Insurance,
    legal, audit and direct employee benefits-related costs are charged
    specifically to the Filter Business. An allocation of Mark IV's costs
    for tax, treasury and other administrative work performed is not made,
    as they are not believed to be significant. All inter-company accounts
    with Mark IV, and other affiliates outside of the Filter Business, have
    been included as a part of net assets.

    Bank indebtedness was established for the M-Filter business unit during
    the eleven-month period ended January 31, 1999. However, the
    substantial part of the Company's financing needs are established
    through inter-company borrowing arrangements with Mark IV or one of its
    affiliates outside of the Filter Business. No interest costs have been
    allocated to the Filter Business for any of its financing needs;
    therefore, the accompanying combined statement of income does not
    reflect any costs for interest during the eleven-month period ended
    January 31, 1999.

    During the eleven-month period ended January 31, 1999, the Filter
    Business was charged approximately $600,000 by a Mark IV affiliate for
    costs associated with the development of a new combination water pump
    and cooler product. Such amount has been expensed in the accompanying
    combined statement of income for such period, and included in the
    research and development cost line.

Item 7(b) Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information gives effect
to the acquisition of Purolator Products ("Purolator") by the registrant in a
transaction accounted for as a purchase. It is based on and should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto appearing 
in the registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 
1999 and the financial statements of Purolator included elsewhere in this Form 
8-K/A. The unaudited combined pro forma statement of financial condition gives
effect to the acquisition of Purolator as if the acquisition had occurred on
January 3, 1999.  The unaudited combined pro forma statement of operations 
gives effect to the acquisition of Purolator as if the acquisition had occurred
on December 29, 1997.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information,
preliminary estimates of fair value, and certain assumptions that management
believes are reasonable in the circumstances. The allocation of the purchase
price, which was based on preliminary estimates of the fair value of assets and
liabilities, may vary once the actual fair value of the assets and liabilities
are determined. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not
purport to represent what the registrant's financial position or results of
operations would actually have been if the acquisition of Purolator had occurred
on January 3, 1999 or December 29, 1997, nor to project the registrant's
financial position or results of operations for any future date or period.

Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements


Note 1. The combined pro forma Statement of Financial Condition has been
prepared to reflect the acquisition of Purolator by Arvin Industries, Inc. for
the aggregate purchase price of approximately $272 million subject to final 
adjustment, which includes the assumption of $6 million in debt. Pro forma 
adjustments are made to reflect:

(a) The issuance of $150.0 million of 7 1/8 percent notes maturing in March 2009
    and the borrowing of $125.0 million under a committed bank facility to 
    fund the $266 million cash portion of the purchase price of Purolator and
    the resulting $9.4 million excess funds;

(b) The adjustment of Purolator property, plant, and equipment to estimated
    fair value, subject to completion of an independent appraisal;

(c) The elimination of net assets in the equity account of Purolator;

(d) The incremental excess of acquisition cost over the estimated fair value of
    net assets acquired (goodwill to be amortized over 40 years); and

(e) The $9.7 million liability estimated for exit costs as a result of
    severance cost and the closure of certain facilities, and the related
    $3.7 million estimated deferred tax benefit.


Note 2. The combined pro forma Statement of Operations gives effect to the
following pro forma adjustments necessary to reflect the acquisitions outlined
in Note 1 above:

(a) Annual interest charges on $150.0 million of 7 1/8 percent notes maturing
    in March 2009 and a $125.0 million bank facility, borrowed in connection
    with the acquisition. The interest rate on the $125 million bank facility
    is variable and 5.60% was assumed in the pro forma. A one-eighth of 
    one-percent change in the interest rate on the $125 million facility would
    result in a change in interest expense of approximately .2 million; and

(b) Income tax adjustment to reflect the U.S. (federal and state) statutory 
    effective tax rate of 38.5 percent.
