         This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment No. 1") is to the Tender Offer
Statement on Schedule 14D-1 (the "Statement") that relates to the offer by UD
Delaware Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser") and an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of United Dominion Industries Limited, a corporation organized
under the laws of Canada ("Parent"), to purchase all outstanding shares of
Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Imo Industries Inc., a Delaware
corporation, at a price of $6.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Purchaser's Offer to Purchase
dated July 2, 1997 (the "Offer to Purchase") and in the related Letter of
Transmittal (which together constitute the "Offer"), copies of which were
attached to the Statement as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2) thereto, respectively.
The Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2,
1997.

         Capitalized terms used in this Amendment but not defined herein have
the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Offer to Purchase and the Statement.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         Item 2 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding to the end thereof
the following:

                  On July 14, 1997, United Dominion Industries, Inc. transferred
         all outstanding shares of capital stock of Purchaser to United Dominion
         Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned
         subsidiary of Parent. The directors and officers of United Dominion
         Industries, Inc. constitute the directors and officers of United
         Dominion Holdings, Inc. and hold the same offices with respect to
         United Dominion Holdings, Inc., as they respectively hold with respect
         to United Dominion Industries, Inc.

ITEM 7. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS
        WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT COMPANY'S SECURITIES.

         Item 7 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding to the end thereof
the following:

                  At 12:00 midnight on July 16, 1997, Purchaser had received
         Consents from the holders of an aggregate of $155.0 million in
         principal amount of the Notes. On July 17, 1997, the Company and IBJ
         Schroder Bank & Trust Company, as trustee, entered into a First
         Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 17, 1997 (the "Supplemental
         Indenture") to effect the amendments to the Indenture as set forth in
         the Merger Agreement. At 12:00 midnight on July 17, 1997, none of such
         Consents had been withdrawn. As a result of such actions, the Requisite
         Consent Condition to the Note Tender Offer was satisfied. The
         Supplemental Indenture was effective upon execution thereof by the
         Company and IBJ Schroder Bank & Trust Company, as trustee, but will not
         become operative until Notes are accepted for payment pursuant to the
         Note Tender Offer. On July 17, 1997, Parent issued a press release with
         respect to the foregoing, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (a)(11)
         hereto, which is incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 11. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

         Item 11 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:


         (a)(11)  Press release issued by Parent on July 17, 1997

           UNITED DOMINION INDUSTRIES ANNOUNCES RECEIPT OF CONSENTS
   IN TENDER OFFER FOR 11 3/4% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES OF IMO INDUSTRIES

     CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA (July 17, 1997) -- United Dominion Industries
Limited (NYSE, TSE:UDI) and its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, UD Note Corp.
("UD"), today announced that all of the outstanding 11 3/4% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2006 of Imo Industries Inc. ("Imo") have been tendered and consents
from the holders of such Notes have been received with respect to the amendment
of the Indenture for the Notes to remove or amend certain restrictive covenants
contained therein. It is anticipated that later today Imo and IBJ Schroder Bank
& Trust Company, as trustee, will enter into a Supplemental Indenture to
implement such amendments. All holders of Notes will be entitled to receive the
consent fee payment of an amount equal to one percent of the principal amount
of such holder's Notes in the event UD accepts the Notes for payment. The
consent fee will be paid on or before August 4, 1997 (subject to the terms and
conditions of the Offer to Purchase).

     The Supplemental Indenture will not be operative unless UD accepts the
Notes for payment. UD's obligation to accept and pay for the Notes is subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in UD's Offer to Purchase and
Solicitation of Consents dated July 2, 1997, including the condition that UD
Delaware Corp., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of United Dominion, purchase
more than 80% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Imo pursuant to UD
Delaware's recently announced offer to purchase. The tender offers for the
Notes and common stock will both expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time,
on July 30, 1997, unless extended. Tendered Notes may be withdrawn until 12:00
midnight on July 30, 1997. This summary of the tender offer and consent
solicitation is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Offer to
Purchase and Solicitation of Consents and the related Consent and Letter of
Transmittal and Notice of Consent.
