NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Pentair, Inc.
(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, accordingly, do not
include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

The results of operations for the six months ended July 1, 2000 is not
necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full
year.

Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on the current best estimate
of the effective annual federal, state and foreign income tax rates.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' financial statements to
conform to the current year presentation.

In June, 2000, Pentair, Inc. (the Company) reorganized its management reporting
structure into four segments in place of the three segments it had used since
the fourth quarter of 1997. The Company has recently filed a Form 8-K consisting
of restated annual segment financial information and descriptions of the
segments.

Pentair has chosen to focus its management skills on four segment markets
consisting of Pentair Tools, Pentair Equipment, Pentair Water Technologies and
Pentair Enclosures. Selected financial information for business segments (taking
restructuring charge into account for operating income) for the six months ended
July 1, 2000 and June 26, 1999 is included in the Management's Discussion and
Analysis section.

2. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average common shares outstanding plus the incremental shares that
would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options
and upon the assumed conversion of each series preferred stock.

                                        7

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per
share.

On December 14, 1998, the Company announced that the Pentair board had
authorized the Company to repurchase on an annual basis up to 400,000 shares of
Pentair common stock. Any purchases would be made periodically in the open
market, by block purchases or private transactions. The share repurchase is
intended to offset the dilution caused by stock issuances under employee stock
compensation plans. As of July 1, 2000, the Company had repurchased no shares
under the current annual authorization.

9. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

In 1999, the Company recorded an initial restructuring charge of $38.0 million
($24.1 million after-tax) and in the first quarter of 2000 recorded a further
net restructuring charge of $0.2 million ($0.1 million after-tax). The status
and progress of the projects implemented in 1999 were re-evaluated in the first
quarter and a reduction for a change in the original estimate of $6.3 million
was recorded. Three new related projects were determined as restructuring items
and a $6.5 million additional charge was recorded.

As shown below, $30.5 million has been spent or charged through July 1, 2000.
The remaining balance of $7.7 million is classified within Accrued Liabilities
and Other Expenses on the balance sheet.

The restructuring plan comprised consolidation of certain operations, overhead
reductions, and outsourcing of specific product lines in three of the Company's
business segments. The restructuring plan did not contemplate the Company
exiting any of its current lines of business; the projects involved were
designed to make the Company's existing businesses more efficient.

The additional net charge in 2000 is attributable to a delay in a plant closing
in the Equipment segment as a result of a fire in a Taiwanese factory providing
sourced products, the closure of a North American facility and the write-off of
goodwill at the Transrack subsidiary in France, both in the Enclosure segment.
The write-off of goodwill was related to the restructuring of our European
enclosure operations. Upon analysis of future undiscounted cash flows of the
Transrack business, it was determined that the cash flows were not adequate to
ensure recoverability of a portion of the goodwill amount recorded. The goodwill
write-off was $3.0 million (20 million French francs).

The components of the restructuring charge and related reserve balances
remaining at July 1, 2000 were:

</TABLE>

"Personnel Costs" consist of severance, medical plan continuation, pension
cash-outs, and outplacement per business unit policies for employees terminated.
As of July 1, 2000, approximately 850 employees have been terminated (or in
Europe are working under statutory notice periods). The remaining 250 employees
affected by the restructuring are expected to be terminated during the third
quarter of 2000 with the final shutdown of the Jonesboro manufacturing
operation.

"Asset Disposals" consist of the write-down of the carrying value of the
buildings held for resale and the write-off of special-use manufacturing and
support assets which will no longer be needed and which will be scrapped or
abandoned. The real estate held for resale is expected to be disposed of by the
third quarter of 2000. All of these assets are currently classified as property,
plant and equipment. The closure of the North American facility in the Enclosure
segment does not entail significant asset disposals, since the facility was
leased until the end of 2000. Asset disposals do include, however, the write-off
of goodwill at Transrack.

"Exit Costs" consists of maintenance and security costs of surplus buildings
until leases expire or demolition or disposal of certain buildings.

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

"Personnel Costs" and "Exit Costs" are primarily cash costs and the "Asset
Disposals" are primarily non-cash costs. Our currently anticipated schedule
projects cash expenditures of $7.5 million remaining in 2000 and $0.2 million in
2001. These requirements will be funded through cash from operations or
borrowings under our existing credit facilities.

Restructuring benefits (largely personnel cost savings) were realized of
approximately $5.9 million and $6 million in the first six months of 2000 and
full year 1999, respectively. Anticipated benefits are projected to be $12
million in 2000 and $15 million in 2001. The major components of anticipated
benefits are in reductions in labor costs and efficiencies in consolidating
distribution and administrative functions.

The anticipated benefits noted above are net of the costs of adding 200
employees at other Pentair locations. The benefits do not, however, take into
account one-time costs associated with these restructuring plans. The Company
anticipates that the associated one-time costs will total approximately $7
million, of which over half has been incurred to date. These costs are not
included in the restructuring charge, since they relate to asset relocations,
start-up costs and training and recruiting of employees at other locations.

10. ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." The FASB subsequently issued FAS No. 137 delaying the
effective date for one year, to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The
Company will adopt this standard no later than January 1, 2001. Although the
Company expects that this standard will not materially affect its financial
position and results of operations, it has not yet determined the impact of this
standard on its financial statements.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition." An amendment in June 2000 delayed the
effective date until the fourth quarter of 2000. The company is reviewing the
requirements of this standard and has not yet determined the impact of this
standard on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

In June, 2000, Pentair, Inc. (the Company) reorganized its management reporting
structure into four segments in place of the three segments it had used since
the fourth quarter of 1997. The Company has recently filed a Form 8-K consisting
of restated annual segment financial information and descriptions of the
segments.

Pentair has chosen to focus its management skills on four segment markets
consisting of Pentair Tools, Pentair Equipment, Pentair Water Technologies and
Pentair Enclosures. Selected financial information for business segments (taking
restructuring charge into account for operating income) for the six months ended
July 1, 2000 and June 26, 1999 follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 1, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 26, 1999

Consolidated net sales increased to $1.489 billion in the six months of 2000,
representing a 52.3% increase over the corresponding 1999 period. While the
majority of this increase is attributable to the acquisitions

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

the Company made in its Tools and Water Technologies segments in the third
quarter of 1999, organic sales growth (that is, before the impact of business
units acquired less than one year) exceeded 8%.

Operating income in the first six months of 2000, after taking restructuring
charges into account ($.2 million), was $152.4 million, an increase of $92.3
million from the corresponding 1999 period that included a $38.0 million
restructuring charge. Operating income before restructuring charges was $152.6
million for the first six months of 2000, up 55.6% from the corresponding
year-earlier period. As a percent of sales, pre-charge operating income improved
in the six-month period from 10.0% in 1999 to 10.2% in 2000. The increase in
operating income is largely attributable to the significant acquisitions made in
1999, though strong gains in the Water Technologies and Enclosures segments
helped generate an increase in organic operating income for the period.

Gross profit margins decreased in the first six months of 2000 to 29.9% versus
31.7% for the same period a year ago, attributable in large part to the
acquisitions made in 1999, since these businesses have higher costs of goods
sold and lower SG&A costs than other Pentair businesses. Excluding acquisitions,
gross margins improved 50 basis points year-over-year. Selling, general and
administrative expense (SG&A) as a percent of sales was 19.7% in the first six
months of 2000 as compared to 21.7% in the year-earlier period.

Net income for the first six months of 2000 after restructuring charge ($.1
million after-tax) increased to $70.5 million from $30.5 million in 1999 after
restructuring charge ($24.1 million after-tax). Before restructuring charges in
the two periods are taken into account, net income in 2000 was $70.6 million, up
from $54.6 million, or 29.3% over 1999.

Due to higher interest costs as a result of increased indebtedness incurred for
the 1999 acquisitions, interest expense increased for the first six months from
$12.0 million to $40.4 million. In addition, exchange rates, primarily between
the US dollar and the Euro and pound sterling, adversely impacted European
operations in both sales ($13.9 million) and operating income ($1.3 million) for
the six month period in 2000. Pentair's tax rate for the first six months was
37% in 2000, an increase from 36.5% in the year-earlier period. The increase is
primarily due to nondeductible amortization of goodwill attributable to the 1999
acquisitions.

Diluted earnings per share for 2000 year-to-date after the restructuring charge
increased from $.71 to $1.45; before the restructuring charges, diluted earnings
per share increased 14.2% over the comparable period ($1.27) in 1999. Weighted
average common shares outstanding, assuming full dilution, were 48.658 million
for the second quarter of 2000, compared to 43.056 million in the year-earlier
quarter. The increase is primarily attributable to the public offering of 5.5
million shares completed in October 1999.

SECOND QUARTER ENDED JULY 1, 2000 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 26, 1999

Consolidated net sales increased to $776.6 million in the second quarter of
2000, an increase of $269.4 million or 53.1% over the same period a year ago.
Acquisitions made in the third quarter of 1999 accounted for a significant
portion of this increase, although organic sales growth in the quarter increased
at nearly a double-digit rate over year-earlier net sales.

Second quarter operating income rose to $77.7 million in 2000, an increase of
$26.1 million or 50.5% over the corresponding 1999 period, attributable to the
1999 acquisitions. Organic operating income, however, decreased from second
quarter 1999 levels as a result of poorly performing operations in the Tools and
Equipment segments. Net income in the quarter increased to $36.6 million in 2000
from $28.3 million in 1999, or 29.5%. Second quarter diluted earnings per share
in 2000 showed a 13.6% increase over the corresponding period in 1999,
attributable to accretive acquisitions and strong performance in the Water
Technologies and Enclosures segments.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

TOOLS SEGMENT

Net sales increased to $500.5 million in 2000 year-to-date, representing a 67.1%
increase over the corresponding six-month period in 1999. Net sales in the
second quarter of 2000 grew 76.5% to
                                       13
<PAGE>   14

$263.8 million from $149.4 million in the same period in 1999. Second quarter
sales and operating income for the Tools segment in 2000 have been adjusted from
previously released numbers due to final closing entries. Organic sales in 2000
year-to-date were up only slightly year-over-year, largely as a result of the
continuing impact in its markets of the shipping difficulties caused by the
start-up of the new Tools distribution center in the first quarter, but in the
second quarter increased over 10% as compared to the second quarter of 1999. Net
sales of the acquired business were also below expectations as a result of a
decline in generator sales due to continuing high inventories at distributors
and retailers, as well as increased competition in other product markets.

Operating income in 2000 year-to-date after the restructuring charge was $41.2
million, an increase of $13.1 million over the prior year. Before taking
restructuring charges into account ($6.3 million in 1999 compared to $(1.2)
million in 2000), operating income in 2000 for the six month period increased
from $34.4 million to $40.0 million, or 16.2%. As a percent of sales, pre-charge
operating income decreased from 11.5% to 8.0%, largely attributable to
unfavorable product mix, special pricing and promotional programs and higher
material costs in 2000.

Operating income in the second quarter of 2000 grew 3.4% to $16.1 million from
$15.6 million in the same period in 1999. Operating income as a percent of sales
in the second quarter declined to 6.1% in 2000 from 10.4% in the corresponding
period in 1999, largely as a result of special pricing and promotional programs,
increases in raw material costs and the establishment of a reserve to cover the
deterioration in credit quality of a significant customer.

The outlook for market demand for the Tools segment products remains good. The
Company is optimistic that core growth through product innovation and
cross-selling will continue. Aggressive actions are being implemented to return
the Tools businesses to their traditional high levels of performance.

EQUIPMENT SEGMENT

Net sales in this newly formed segment decreased from $153.0 million to $139.6
million in 2000 year-to-date, representing an 8.8% decrease over the
corresponding six-month period in 1999. Net sales in the second quarter of 2000
decreased 15.3% to $67.4 million from $79.6 million in the same period in 1999.
This poor sales performance is attributable to slow growth and pricing pressures
in the automotive and industrial markets served by these businesses.

The segment reported an operating loss in 2000 year-to-date after restructuring
charge of $0.8 million, similar to that of the prior year. Before taking
restructuring charges into account ($15 million in 1999 compared to $2.7 million
in 2000), operating income in 2000 for the six-month period was $1.9 million
compared to $14.2 million in the prior year. This decrease is largely
attributable to unfavorable manufacturing variances, lower unit volumes and
lower selling prices in 2000.

The Equipment segment reported an operating loss in the second quarter of 2000
($0.8 million) compared to operating income of $8.3 million in the same period
in 1999. This poor performance resulted from delays in a plant closing,
inefficiencies associated with consolidating two automotive service equipment
businesses and Asian product sourcing difficulties.

The Company is in the process of consolidating the automotive service equipment
businesses, combining the industrial and automotive lubrication businesses to
eliminate market overlaps, closing the Jonesboro, Arkansas facility and reducing
working capital. Once these structural changes are completed, the businesses
should be in a position to regain sales momentum and market position.

WATER TECHNOLOGIES SEGMENT

Net sales increased to $481.6 million in 2000 year-to-date, representing a
113.5% increase over the corresponding period in 1999. Net sales in the second
quarter of 2000 more than doubled to $255.6 million from $121.9 million in the
same period in 1999. While the large sales increases for the respective periods

                                       14
<PAGE>   15

are largely attributable to the 1999 third-quarter acquisition of the pressure
vessel and pool and spa equipment businesses, organic net sales did experience
mid-to-high single digit year-over-year sales growth.

Operating income in 2000 year-to-date was $72.2 million, an increase of $40.6
million or 128.1% over the first six months of 1999. Operating income as a
percent of sales improved from 14.0% to 15.0%. Operating income in the second
quarter of 2000 grew 135.6% to $41.4 million from $17.6 million in the same
period in 1999, and as a percentage of sales rose to 16.2% from 14.4%. While the
1999 acquisitions are largely responsible for the magnitude of the increase in
operating income, the Water Technologies segment did achieve organic operating
income growth in the mid-teens for both the second quarter and the first six
months.

The outlook for the Water Technologies segment is very good. As a result of the
Essef acquisition, this segment greatly expanded its product and geographic
capabilities. The segment is focusing more resources on its growth in overseas
markets, especially by Pentair Water Treatment, while continuing to implement
its operating improvement initiatives previously adopted and completing the
integration of the acquired businesses into its existing operations.

ENCLOSURES SEGMENT

Net sales increased to $367.2 million in 2000 year-to-date, representing a 22.5%
increase over the corresponding period in 1999. Net sales in the second quarter
of 2000 grew 21.5% to $189.8 million from $156.3 million in the same period in
1999. These sales increases, all organic in the second quarter, occurred across
all of the businesses in this segment, although the increases are strongest in
the telecom and data networking equipment markets.

Operating income in 2000 year-to-date after the restructuring charge was $49.2
million, an increase from $10.1 million in the prior year six-month period.
Operating income before restructuring charges ($16.7 million in 1999 and $(1.3)
million in 2000) increased to $47.9 million, up 78.7% over 1999 year-to-date.
Pre-charge operating income as a percent of sales increased from 8.9% to 13.0%.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2000 grew 71.4% to $24.7 million from
$14.4 million in the same period in 1999. Operating margins for the second
quarter increased from 9.2% in 1999 to 13.0% in 2000.

Strong growth is continued to be foreseen over the balance of the year and in
2001, especially in the telecom and data networking markets. The outlook for
continued growth in the Enclosures segment is excellent. The expansion of the
Enclosure businesses around the world will be critical to the segment's future
success in the rapidly growing datacom and telecom fields, especially in
creating a world-wide capability to serve these markets, whether in the
Americas, Europe or Asia. The Enclosure businesses plan to continue process
improvement actions and coordinated utilization of world-wide manufacturing
capacity to optimize profitability.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

In 1999, the Company recorded an initial restructuring charge of $38.0 million
($24.1 million after-tax) and in the first quarter of 2000 recorded a further
net restructuring charge of $0.2 million ($0.1 million after-tax). The status
and progress of the projects implemented in 1999 were re-evaluated in the first
quarter and a reduction for a change in the original estimate of $6.3 million
was recorded. Three new related projects were determined as restructuring items
and a $6.5 million additional charge was recorded.

As shown below, $30.5 million has been spent or charged through July 1, 2000.
The remaining balance of $7.7 million is classified within Accrued Liabilities
and Other Expenses on the balance sheet.

The restructuring plan comprised consolidation of certain operations, overhead
reductions, and outsourcing of specific product lines in three of the Company's
business segments. The restructuring plan did not contemplate the Company
exiting any of its current lines of business; the projects involved were
designed to make the Company's existing businesses more efficient.

                                       15
<PAGE>   16

The additional net charge in 2000 is attributable to a delay in a plant closing
in the Equipment segment as a result of a fire in a Taiwanese factory providing
sourced products, the closure of a North American facility and the write-off of
goodwill at the Transrack subsidiary in France, both in the Enclosure segment.
The write-off of goodwill was related to the restructuring of our European
enclosure operations. Upon analysis of future undiscounted cash flows of the
Transrack business, it was determined that the cash flows were not adequate to
ensure recoverability of a portion of the goodwill amount recorded. The goodwill
write-off was $3.0 million (20 million French francs).

The components of the restructuring charge and related reserve balances
remaining at July 1, 2000 were:

"Personnel Costs" consist of severance, medical plan continuation, pension
cash-outs, and outplacement per business unit policies for employees terminated.
As of July 1, 2000, approximately 850 employees have been terminated (or in
Europe are working under statutory notice periods). The remaining 250 employees
affected by the restructuring are expected to be terminated during the third
quarter of 2000 with the final shutdown of the Jonesboro manufacturing
operation.

"Asset Disposals" consist of the write-down of the carrying value of the
buildings held for resale and the write-off of special-use manufacturing and
support assets which will no longer be needed and which will be scrapped or
abandoned. The real estate held for resale is expected to be disposed of by the
third quarter of 2000. All of these assets are currently classified as property,
plant and equipment. The closure of the North American facility in the Enclosure
segment does not entail significant asset disposals, since the facility was
leased until the end of 2000. Asset disposals do include, however, the write-off
of goodwill at Transrack.

"Exit Costs" consists of maintenance and security costs of surplus buildings
until leases expire or demolition or disposal of certain buildings.

"Personnel Costs" and "Exit Costs" are primarily cash costs and the "Asset
Disposals" are primarily non-cash costs. Our currently anticipated schedule
projects cash expenditures of $7.5 million remaining in 2000 and $0.2 million in
2001. These requirements will be funded through cash from operations or
borrowings under our existing credit facilities.

Restructuring benefits (largely personnel cost savings) were realized of
approximately $5.9 million and $6 million in the first six months of 2000 and
full year 1999, respectively. Anticipated benefits are projected to be $12
million in 2000 and $15 million in 2001. The major components of anticipated
benefits are in reductions in labor costs and efficiencies in consolidating
distribution and administrative functions.

The anticipated benefits noted above are net of the costs of adding 200
employees at other Pentair locations. The benefits do not, however, take into
account one-time costs associated with these restructuring plans. The Company
anticipates that the associated one-time costs will total approximately $7
million, of which over half has been incurred to date. These costs are not
included in the restructuring

                                       16
<PAGE>   17

charge, since they relate to asset relocations, start-up costs and training and
recruiting of employees at other locations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company seeks to maintain a total debt to capital ratio around 40% as
appropriate for its financing needs and business plans, although Pentair will
exceed this target ratio from time-to-time as needed for operational purposes
and/or acquisitions. The Company's total debt to capital ratio is 50.3% at the
end of the second quarter of 2000, down from 53.5% at the end of the first
quarter and from 51.0% at the end of 1999. The Company's total debt to capital
ratio was 36.6% at the end of the second quarter of 1999. The additional
indebtedness was incurred to finance two substantial acquisitions made in the
third quarter of 1999. The Company's available capital resources are deemed
adequate for its anticipated uses for the remainder of 2000.

The Company has targeted reduction in indebtedness as a key objective in 2000,
in order to increase its financial flexibility and to reduce its interest
expense. This reduction in indebtedness is to be achieved by significantly
increasing the amount of its free cash flow throughout the year. The Company has
adopted a goal in 2000 of reaching free cash flow of 5% of net sales and a
reduction in working capital from the first quarter of at least $100 million.

Of the total indebtedness of the Company at the end of the second quarter of
2000, more than 81% (approximately $860 million, including $21.2 million in
current maturities) is long-term and has an average life to maturity of 6 years.
This long-term indebtedness has interest rates varying from 4.0% to 9.0%, with
an average interest rate of 7.7%. The Company believes that currently
outstanding long-term indebtedness is and will continue to be adequate for its
financing needs for the foreseeable future. The Company also believes that it
will be able to obtain additional long-term indebtedness as its needs may
increase or its current indebtedness matures.

Short-term indebtedness stands at $196.1 million as of July 1, 2000, down from
$285.8 million at the end of the first quarter of 2000. This short-term
indebtedness has an average interest rate of 6.88%. The Company believes that it
will generate substantial cash flow from operations during 2000 which will be
used in large part to reduce current indebtedness. The Company also believes
that it will be able to renew its current short-term credit agreements, at the
time of their expiration in August 2000. In addition, the Company instituted a
commercial paper program in January 2000 for the issuance of short-term notes at
what it believes are favorable interest rates.

The Company expects capital spending in 2000 to be in the $85-90 million range
and will relate to e-business initiatives, computer hardware and software,
manufacturing cost reduction projects, new product development and
reconfiguration of manufacturing facilities.

At the end of the first half of 2000, free cash flow was negative by $32.3
million, as an exceptionally unfavorable net outflow of $164.7 million
experienced in the first quarter of 2000 was followed by a very strong second
quarter, which saw free cash flow of $132.4 million. The Company's focused
effort on collection of receivables, negotiation of better payment terms and
reductions in working capital showed positive results, helped in part by normal
customer payments for seasonal purchases in the Water Technologies segment.
During the second quarter, reductions in working capital were realized at almost
every business, and totaled $90 million for the Company as a whole. The Company
intends to continue to emphasize controlling working capital and maximizing free
cash flow.

In 2000, the Company has paid two quarterly dividends of $.16 per share and
recently announced an increase in its quarterly dividend rate of six percent to
$.17 per share. The increased cash dividend was payable August 11, 2000 to
shareholders of record at the close of business on July 28, 2000.

OUTLOOK

Pentair operates in four segments. This diversification enables the Company to
consistently improve results despite difficult markets in one or more
businesses. Continuing demand for power tools in the DIY
                                       17
<PAGE>   18

channel, ever-rising needs for clean water throughout the world, and the
critical importance of protecting sensitive electronics give Pentair's chosen
businesses excellent prospects for strong long-term performance. Markets for
lubrication and automotive equipment continue to remain static. The Company's
basic operating strategies -- ongoing cost containment, new product development,
multi-channel distribution, and the pursuit of value-added acquisitions -- drive
the businesses in both growing and softer economies.

Pentair is consolidating a number of its operations into larger, more effective
units which are better positioned to compete in their respective markets. In the
Tools segment, Porter-Cable and Delta completed the consolidation of their
operations in the first quarter of 2000, following an earlier combination of
their sales organizations.

Also scheduled for completion in 2000 is the consolidation of Equipment segment
operations in the United States into two primary facilities which will result in
the closing of one manufacturing facility. The Lincoln lubrication equipment
businesses will be combined into one operation managed out of the Company's St.
Louis facility. The automotive service equipment businesses of Century
Manufacturing and Lincoln are being combined into the Company's Bloomington,
Minnesota facility. These combinations are designed to minimize market overlaps
and streamline product line responsibilities.

The 1999 acquisition of the pressure vessel and pool and spa equipment
businesses have broadened the scope and opportunities of the Water Technologies
businesses. Since the acquisition, Pentair has closed one of the acquired
facilities and relocated its manufacturing operations; over the next few
quarters, Pentair intends to continue reorganization and consolidation of units
in order to improve manufacturing efficiencies and financial performance.

In 1999, the Company's Enclosures segment combined five separate North American
facilities into one business unit, Pentair Electronic Packaging, in order to
focus on the high-growth custom and modified enclosure market for telecom and
data networking products. In the second quarter the closure of a small operation
in California was undertaken in order to reduce costs and increase productivity
in the remaining facilities.

The Company continues to look for synergistic acquisitions in each of its
business segments, in line with its pattern over the past five years. Of the
fifteen acquisitions made since 1994, most were smaller businesses or product
lines which fit with existing operations, offering new products or expanded
geographic scope. In addition, three transactions over the last three years were
stand-alone acquisitions of large established businesses. Pentair intends to
continue to pursue smaller, bolt-on purchases, but will also carefully review
larger targets that have the capability to significantly expand its current
segments, or in appropriate cases, that establish an additional business
segment.

                          PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Horizon Litigation. Twenty-eight separate lawsuits involving 29 primary
plaintiffs, a class action and claims for indemnity by Celebrity, were brought
against Essef Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries which concern exposure
to Legionnaires bacteria by passengers aboard the cruise ship M/V Horizon, a
ship operated by Celebrity Cruise Lines. The lawsuits included a class action
brought on behalf of all passengers aboard the ship during the relevant time
period, individual "opt-out" passenger suits, and a suit by Celebrity Cruise
Lines, Inc. Celebrity Cruises, Inc. alleges in its suit that it has sustained
economic damages due to loss of usage of the M/V Horizon while it was dry
docked.

The claims against Essef and its involved subsidiaries, are based upon the
allegation that Essef designed, manufactured and marketed two sand swimming pool
filters that were installed as a part of the spa system on the Horizon, and
allegations that the spa, and filters, contained bacteria that infected certain
passengers on cruises from December, 1993 through July, 1994.

Prior to the Company's acquisition of Essef, a settlement was reached in the
class action. Essef and Celebrity have jointly attempted to resolve claims
brought by "opt-out" plaintiffs. To date, a number of these claims have been
settled, for nominal amounts, leaving 13 primary plaintiffs.

The claims of one plaintiff have been tried under a stipulation among all
remaining parties providing that the liability findings would be applicable to
all plaintiffs and defendants. The claims of this plaintiff were unusual because
he alleged that he developed complications that profoundly impaired his mental
functioning. (No other plaintiff asserted similar claims).

This trial resulted in a jury verdict finding liability on the part of the Essef
Defendants (70%) and Celebrity and its sister company Fantasia (together 30%).
Compensatory damages in the total amount of $2,660,000 were awarded, each
defendant being accountable for its proportionate share of liability. Punitive
damages were separately awarded against the Essef Defendants in the total amount
of $7 million, with 60% awarded to all remaining plaintiffs and 40% to
Celebrity. In any subsequent trial of other plaintiffs in this litigation, no
further punitive damages will be available. Essef and its subsidiaries intend to
file post-trial motions challenging the verdict, and if necessary, to file an
appeal.

At the current time, trial counsel is optimistic that all of the pending suits
will be resolved within available insurance coverage. This is a pre-acquisition
liability and the Company has purchase accounting reserves it believes
sufficient to cover the amount of any uninsured awards or settlements.
