                                 INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No. 2 is the final amendment (the "Final  Amendment") to the Rule
13e-3 Transaction  Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the "Schedule 13E-3"),  filed on
June 1, 1998 by II  Acquisition  Corp.,  a Delaware  corporation  ("IIAC"),  Imo
Merger  Corp.,  a  Delaware  corporation  and  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of IIAC
("Merger  Sub"),  Steven M. Rales,  an  individual,  and  Mitchell P. Rales,  an
individual  and together with Steven M. Rales the  controlling  stockholders  of
IIAC,  and  amended  by  Amendment  No.  1  thereto,   in  connection  with  the
"short-form"  merger (the  "Merger") of Merger Sub with and into Imo  Industries
Inc., a Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company"),  pursuant to Section 253 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law. All information set forth below should be read
in conjunction  with the  information  contained or incorporated by reference in
the  Schedule  13E-3  as  previously   amended.   Unless  otherwise   indicated,
capitalized  terms used and not  defined  herein  have the  respective  meanings
ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13E-3 as previously amended.

On July 2, 1998 (the "Effective Date of the Merger"), Merger Sub was merged with
and into the Company.  The Company was the surviving  entity.  Each share of the
Company's common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Shares"), held by Merger
Sub or held in the treasury of the Company  immediately prior to the Merger, was
cancelled and retired without payment of any  consideration  therefor and ceased
to be outstanding. All other Shares, except for Shares owned by stockholders who
perfected their appraisal rights, were automatically converted into the right to
receive  $7.05  in  cash,  without  interest,   upon  proper  surrender  of  the
certificate for such Share to First Chicago Trust Company of New York, as Paying
Agent.

On the Effective Date of the Merger, public trading in the Shares ceased and the
Company  requested that the Shares be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange,
Inc.  Further,  the Company filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission
("Commission")  a Form 15 with respect to the termination of registration of the
Shares and  requested  acceleration  of such  termination.  The Company  will no
longer be required  under the federal  securities  laws to file reports with the
Commission and will no longer be subject to the proxy rules under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Company will,  however,  continue to make
periodic filings with the Commission as required by the indenture  governing the
Company's 11 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due May 1, 2006.

At the Effective Date of the Merger,  the equity  capitalization  of the Company
was changed to consist of 100 shares of common stock,  $.01 par value per share,
all of which is owned by IIAC.  The debt  capitalization  was  unaffected.  As a
consequence of the Merger, each share of common stock, $.01 par value per share,
of  Merger  Sub  was  converted  into  one  validly   issued,   fully  paid  and
nonassessable share of the surviving Company.
