               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


Administrative Committee of the Imo Industries Inc.  Employees
  Stock Savings Plan

We  have  audited the accompanying statements  of  net  assets
available  for  plan  benefits  of  the  Imo  Industries  Inc.
Employees Stock Savings Plan as of December 31, 1996 and  1995
and  the related statements of changes in net assets available
for  plan  benefits for the years then ended. These  financial
statements  are  the responsibility of the Plan's  management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing  standards. Those standards require that we plan  and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the  financial  statements are free of material  misstatement.
An  audit  includes  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence
supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial
statements.   An audit also includes assessing the  accounting
principles  used and significant estimates made by management,
as   well   as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In  our  opinion, the financial statements referred  to  above
present  fairly,  in  all material respects,  the  net  assets
available for plan benefits of the Plan at December  31,  1996
and 1995, and the changes in its net assets available for plan
benefits  for  the  years  then  ended,  in  conformity   with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our  audits  were  performed for the  purpose  of  forming  an
opinion  on  the financial statements taken as a  whole.   The
accompanying  supplemental  schedules  of  assets   held   for
investment   as   of   December  31,  1996,   and   reportable
transactions  for  the  year  then  ended  are  presented  for
purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure under  the  Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are not a required
part of the financial statements.  The Fund Information in the
statement  of  net  assets  available  for  benefits  and  the
statement  of changes in net assets available for benefits  is
presented for purposes of additional analysis rather  than  to
present  the net assets available for benefits and changes  in
net   assets  available  for  benefits  of  each  fund.    The
supplemental   schedules  and  Fund  Information   have   been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits  of
the  financial  statements and, in  our  opinion,  are  fairly
stated  in  all material respects in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.

                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                      DECEMBER 31, 1996

 NOTE A -- DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The  Imo  Industries Inc. Employees Stock  Savings  Plan  (the
"Plan") is an employee benefit plan in which substantially all
employees  of  Imo  Industries Inc. and its subsidiaries  (the
"Company")  may  participate on the first  day  of  the  month
following the date of hire.  The following employees  are  not
eligible  to  participate  in the Plan:  (i)  employees  whose
employment  contracts  exclude them from  participation;  (ii)
members  of  a  collective  bargaining  unit  covered   by   a
collective  bargaining  agreement that does  not  specifically
provide   for  their  coverage;  (iii)  temporary  hourly-paid
employees  who  work  less than 1,020 hours  per  year;   (iv)
employees   who  are  employed  at  a  division  or   facility
specifically  excluded from participation; and  (v)  employees
paid on a non-United States payroll.

Under  the Plan, eligible employees may contribute from 1%  to
12%  of their compensation on a pre-tax basis, up to a maximum
of $9,500 for the 1996 calendar year.  The Company may provide
a  matching contribution of up to 75% of the first 6% of  each
participant's pre-tax contribution as determined from time  to
time  by  the Company's Board of Directors. Effective July  1,
1995   the   Company   restored  its  matching   contribution,
previously suspended in July 1992, at 25% of the first  6%  of
each participant's pre-tax contribution. In addition, in April
1995  the Company made a one-time contribution of $410,000  to
the  Plan to fund a difference in the number of shares of  Imo
Industries  Inc. Common Stock as reported by the  recordkeeper
and trustee.  This difference resulted from timing differences
in  execution of transactions by the recordkeeper and trustee.
Effective  April 1, 1995,  these timing differences no  longer
occur  due to a change in trustee (See Note E) and preparation
of daily reconciliations of fund balances.

A  participant's interest  in   pre-tax  contributions and the
Company's  matching contributions is at all times 100%  vested
and   nonforfeitable.    Distributions   are   made   upon   a
participant's  death,  disability  or  other  termination   of
employment; however, limited withdrawal rights in the event of
a financial hardship apply with respect to a participant's pre-
tax  contributions.  A participant's right or  interest  under
the Plan is not transferable or assignable.

Effective January 1, 1995,  the Plan was amended to allow  for
participant  loans.  Under the new provisions,   participants,
who are active employees of the Company, may borrow from their
fund  accounts a minimum of $500 up to a maximum of the lesser
of  $50,000  or  50%  of  their  account  balance.   Principal
repayments  and interest are deposited into the  participant's


                              9

<PAGE>

account  through payroll deductions. Loans must be  repaid  in
full  within five years.  Upon termination of employment  from
the  Company  any  outstanding loan balance   must  be  repaid
within 90 days.


Participants  may  elect to have their  pre-tax  contributions
invested in any of the following investments in 1% increments:
(i)  Company's Common Stock; (ii) Merrill Lynch Capital  Fund,
Inc.,  a mutual fund investing in equity, debt and convertible
securities;  (iii) SEI Stable Asset Fund, a  collective  trust
fund  consisting primarily of guaranteed insurance  contracts;
(iv) SEI Equity Income Fund, a mutual fund investing in stocks
of  large companies; (v) SEI S&P 500 Index Fund, a mutual fund
investing  in  stocks of companies included  in  the  S&P  500
Index; (vi) SEI Small Cap Growth Fund, a mutual fund investing
in  stocks  of  small, growing companies;  and  (vii)  Scudder
International  Fund,  a  mutual fund investing  in  stocks  of
companies  in Europe, Asia, and South America.  The  Company's
matching  contributions  to  the  Plan  are  invested  in  the
Company's  Common  Stock, and any dividends received  will  be
reinvested  in  the Company's Common Stock.  Participants  may
change their contribution rate once every thirty days. Changes
in investment options for future contributions and redirection
of investments may be done at any time.

The Company has the right to amend the Plan in such manner  as
it  may  determine, provided that no such amendment may divert
any portion of the vested account, cause the diversion of plan
assets  or, without stockholder approval, increase the maximum
permitted  rate of employer matching contributions.   Although
it  has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
right  under  the Plan to terminate the Plan  subject  to  the
provisions of  the Employee Retirement Income Security Act  of
1974.

NOTE B -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash  and Cash Equivalents:  Cash and cash equivalents consist
of amounts temporarily invested by the Trustee in a short-term
income  producing fund (Cash Fund), pending the investment  of
the amounts in one of the Plan's investment alternatives.

Accounting  for  Investments:  The Plan's  investment  in  the
Company's Common Stock is valued at the closing price  on  the
last  business  day of the fiscal year on the New  York  Stock
Exchange.  The fixed income accounts and the SEI Stable  Asset
Fund   are   valued  at  cost  plus  accrued  interest   which
approximates market value.  Shares of mutual funds are  valued
at the net asset value per share reported by such funds.

Investment  transactions are accounted for  on  the  date  the
securities  are  purchased  or sold  (trade  date).   Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income
is accrued as earned.

Expenses:  All Plan administrative expenses are  paid  by  the
Company.

Management  Estimates: The preparation of financial statements
in  conformity  with generally accepted accounting  principles
requires  management  of  the  Plan  to  make  estimates


                                10
<PAGE>

and  assumptions that  affect  the  amounts  reported  in  the
financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual  results
could differ from those estimates.


Income Taxes:  The Internal Revenue Service issued a letter of
determination dated December 9, 1996 stating the Plan continues
to be qualified  under  section  401(a) of the Internal Revenue

NOTE D -- WITHDRAWALS PAYABLE

At  December 31, 1996 and  1995  there  were  no  withdrawals
requested but not yet paid.


NOTE E -- CHANGE IN TRUSTEE

Effective March 1, 1995, the Plan assets were transferred from
Merrill  Lynch  Trust  Company as trustee  to  SEI  Trust,  an
affiliate  of  SEI Corporation, as part of an upgrade  program
intended   to  increase  participation   in  the  Plan.    The
appointment  of  SEI  Trust  as trustee  combined  the  record
keeping  and trustee functions with the same provider.

NOTE F -- TRANSFERS TO OTHER PLANS

As  a  result of the sale of the Company's Turbomachinery  and
Baird  AID  businesses  in  January  1995,  approximately  300
participants, or 9% of total participants, withdrew  from  the
Plan  approximately $2.2 million in the form of  distributions
and  $4.5  million in the form of rollovers to other qualified
plans.  In  addition,  in  April 1995,  a  separate  plan  was
established for the participants associated with Varo, Inc., a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company.  Approximately  $12.9
million in assets were transferred to the Varo Plan.
