NOTE E - CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company and one of its  subsidiaries are two of a large number of defendants
in a number of lawsuits brought in various  jurisdictions by approximately 4,500
claimants who allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos. Although neither the
Company nor any of its  subsidiaries has ever been a producer or direct supplier
of asbestos,  it is alleged that the industrial and marine  products sold by the
Company and the subsidiary named in such complaints  contained  components which
contained  asbestos.  Suits  against the Company  and its  subsidiary  have been
tendered to its insurers,  who are defending  under their stated  reservation of
rights.  In  addition,  the  Company  and the  subsidiary  are  named in  cases,
involving   approximately   40,000  claimants,   which  were   "administratively
dismissed" by the U.S.  District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Cases that have been "administratively  dismissed" may be reinstated only upon a
showing  to  the  Court  that  (i)  there  is   satisfactory   evidence   of  an
asbestos-related injury; and (ii) there is probative evidence that the plaintiff
was exposed to products or equipment  supplied by each  individual  defendant in
the case. The Company  believes that it has adequate  insurance  coverage or has
established appropriate reserves to cover potential liabilities related to these
cases.

The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia
alleging breach of contract  arising from the sale of a steam turbine  delivered
by the Company's  former Delaval Turbine Division and claiming damages in excess
of $10 million.  The Company  believes that there are legal and factual defenses
to the claim and intends to defend the action vigorously.

The Company was a defendant  in a lawsuit in the Circuit  Court of Cook  County,
Illinois alleging performance  shortfalls in products delivered by the Company's
former  Delaval  Turbine  Division.  The  Company has  reached an  agreement  on
December 7, 1999,  with the plaintiff  settling all claims  between the parties.
However,  a co-defendant,  Federal  Insurance  Company,  continues to pursue its
counterclaim  against the Company for attorney's  fees it alleges it incurred in
its role as surety for the project from which the litigation  arose. The Company
believes  that there are legal and factual  defenses to the claim and intends to
defend the action vigorously.

On June 3, 1997,  the Company was served with a complaint  in a case  brought in
the Superior Court of New Jersey which alleges  damages in excess of $10 million
incurred as a result of losses under a Government  Contract Bid  transferred  in
connection  with  the  sale  of the  Company's  former  Electro-Optical  Systems
business.  The  Electro-Optical  Systems business was sold in a transaction that
closed on June 2, 1995. The sales contract provided certain  representations and
warranties  as to the status of the business at the time of sale.  The complaint
alleges that the Company failed to provide  notice of a "reasonably  anticipated
loss" under a bid that was pending at the time of the  transfer of the  business
and  therefore a  representation  was  breached.  The contract was  subsequently
awarded to the Company's Varo subsidiary and thereafter transferred to the buyer
of the  Electro-Optical  Systems  business.  The Company believes that there are
legal and  factual  defenses  to the  claims  and  intends  to defend the action
vigorously.

The operations of the Company,  like those of other companies engaged in similar
businesses, involve the use, disposal and clean up of substances regulated under
environmental  protection  laws.  In a number of instances  the Company has been
identified  as  a  Potentially  Responsible  Party  by  the  U.S.  Environmental
Protection Agency,  with respect to the disposal of hazardous wastes at a number
of facilities that have been targeted for clean-up pursuant to CERCLA or similar
state law. Similarly, the Company has received notice that it is one of a number
of defendants  named in an action filed in the United States District Court, for
the Southern  District of Ohio Western Division by a group of plaintiffs who are
attempting to allocate a share of cleanup costs, for which they are responsible,
to a large number of additional parties,  including the Company. Although CERCLA
and corresponding state law liability is joint and several, the Company believes
that its  liability  will not have a material  adverse  effect on the  financial
condition  of the Company  since it believes  that it either  qualifies  as a de
minimis or minor  contributor at each site.  Accordingly,  the Company  believes
that the portion of remediation  costs that it will be responsible  for will not
be material.

The Company is also involved in various other pending legal proceedings  arising
out of the  ordinary  course  of the  Company's  business.  None of these  legal
proceedings  is  expected  to have a material  adverse  effect on the  financial
condition of the Company.  With respect to these  proceedings and the litigation
and claims  described in the  preceding  paragraphs,  management  of the Company
believes that it either will  prevail,  has adequate  insurance  coverage or has
established appropriate reserves to cover potential liabilities. There can be no
assurance,  however, as to the ultimate outcome of any of these matters,  and if
all or  substantially  all of  these  legal  proceedings  were to be  determined
adversely  to the  Company,  there  could be a  material  adverse  effect on the
financial condition of the Company.



Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                       Condition and Results of Operations.

The following  paragraphs  provide  Management's  discussion and analysis of the
significant factors,  which have affected the Company's  consolidated results of
operations and financial  condition  during the nine months ended  September 30,
2000.  This section should be read in  conjunction  with the Company's 1999 Form
10-K Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.

Recent Events

Sierra  International  Inc.  Acquisition:  On  December  1,  1999,  the  Company
purchased the stock of Sierra  International Inc. ("Sierra") from Echlin Inc., a
subsidiary of Dana Corporation.  Sierra sells and distributes  replacement parts
for marine and power equipment applications and marine hose products. Sierra has
become part of the Company's Industrial Positioning segment.

Results of Operations

The Company's  continuing  businesses are grouped into two business segments for
management  and  segment  reporting  purposes:  Fluid  Handling  and  Industrial
Positioning.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended
  October 1, 1999

Sales.  Net sales from continuing  operations for the third quarter of 2000 were
$77.3 million  compared with $67.2 million in the comparable 1999 period.  Third
quarter  2000 net  sales  increased  2.7% for the  Fluid  Handling  segment  and
increased 21.9% for the Industrial Positioning segment,  respectively,  compared
to the prior year period.  The increase in the Fluid Handling  segment is due to
the  strengthening  of the crude oil  market  in the third  quarter  of 2000 and
increased parts sales to the U.S. Navy,  offset by unfavorable  foreign currency
fluctuations  of the Swedish Krona.  The increase in the Industrial  Positioning
segment is due to the purchase of Sierra on December 1, 1999.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit  increased as a percentage of sales to 31.6% for the
third  quarter of 2000  compared  with 31.1% in the third  quarter of 1999, as a
result of productivity improvements in each segment.

Selling,   General   and   Administrative   Expenses.   Selling,   general   and
administrative  expenses  decreased  as a  percentage  of sales to 16.6% for the
third quarter of 2000  compared with 17.6% in the third quarter of 1999,  due to
cost reduction programs at each segment.

Interest  Expense.  Average  borrowings  in  the  third  quarter  of  2000  were
approximately  $3.5 million  higher than the third  quarter of 1999,  due to the
increase in borrowings for the purchase of Sierra.  Total  interest  expense was
$5.0 million for the third  quarter of 2000  compared  with $4.2 million for the
same period in 1999.

Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes for continuing operations
was $2.7  million  and $1.6  million  for the third  quarters  of 2000 and 1999,
respectively.  These  amounts  represent  both  current  tax expense for foreign
income  taxes and deferred  federal  income  taxes,  as the Company is utilizing
existing U.S. net operating loss carryforwards with its U.S. earnings.

Net  Income.  The net  income  in the  third  quarter  of 2000 was $3.6  million
compared with net income of $2.3 million in the comparable 1999 period.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended
  October 1, 1999

Sales.  Net sales from  continuing  operations for the first nine months of 2000
were $246.5 million  compared with $217.5 million in the comparable 1999 period.
Net sales decreased 5.5% for the Fluid Handling  segment and increased 23.7% for
the Industrial  Positioning  segment,  respectively,  compared to the prior year
period.  The decrease in the Fluid  Handling  segment is due to downturns in the
crude oil and  elevator  pump  markets  during  the first six months of 2000 and
unfavorable foreign currency  fluctuations of the Swedish Krona. The increase in
the Industrial  Positioning segment is due to the purchase of Sierra on December
1, 1999.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit  increased as a percentage of sales to 32.5% for the
first nine months of 2000 compared with 32.3% for first nine months of 1999 as a
result of productivity improvements in each segment.

Selling,   General   and   Administrative   Expenses.   Selling,   general   and
administrative  expenses remained constant as a percentage of sales at 17.0% for
the first nine months of 2000 and the first nine months of 1999.

Interest  Expense.  Average  borrowings  in the first  nine  months of 2000 were
approximately $2.2 million higher than the first nine months of 1999, due to the
increase in borrowings for the purchase of Sierra.  Total  interest  expense was
$14.2  million for the first nine months of 2000 compared with $12.4 million for
the same period in 1999.

Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes for continuing operations
was $9.4  million  and $6.6  million for the first nine months of 2000 and 1999,
respectively.  These  amounts  represent  both  current  tax expense for foreign
income  taxes and deferred  federal  income  taxes,  as the Company is utilizing
existing U.S. net operating loss carryforwards with its U.S. earnings.

Extraordinary Item. During the first nine months of 1999, the Company purchased,
in the open market at a premium,  Notes in the face amount of $3.5 million. As a
result of the early  extinguishment  of these Notes, an extraordinary  charge of
$0.2 million was recognized in the first nine months of 1999.

Net Income.  The net income in the first nine  months of 2000 was $14.2  million
compared with net income of $10.7 million in the comparable 1999 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short-term and Long-term Debt

As of  September  30, 2000 the Company had $6.0 million of  outstanding  standby
letters of credit under the Company's existing credit agreement. The Company had
$6.5 million in foreign  short-term credit facilities with no amount outstanding
at September 30, 2000.

In addition,  the Company had  outstanding  $74.2  million  (net of  unamortized
discount of $0.8 million) of its 11.75% senior  subordinated  notes due in 2006,
$30.3 million of term loan borrowings and $58.5 million in revolver borrowings.

Cash Flow

The  Company's  operating  activities  provided net cash of $11.0 million in the
first nine months of 2000  compared  with cash  provided of $16.2 million in the
comparable  1999 period.  The cash provided by operating  activities in 2000 was
attributable to net operating  profits offset by the increase in working capital
in the period. Cash and cash equivalents were $3.2 million at September 30, 2000
compared with $2.9 million at December 31, 1999.

Management  believes  that cash flow from  operations  and cash  available  from
unused credit  facilities  will be sufficient to meet the Company's  foreseeable
liquidity needs.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE
SECURITIES  LITIGATION  REFORM ACT OF 1995. Except for historical  matters,  the
matters discussed in this Form 10-Q Report are forward-looking  statements based
on current  expectations  and involve risks and  uncertainties.  Forward-looking
statements  include,  but are not limited  to,  statements  under the  following
headings:  (i) Legal Proceedings - the future impact of legal proceedings on the
financial  condition of the Company;  and,  (ii)  "Results of  Operations" - the
future  performance of various  programs and foreign  market  conditions in each
segment and the impact of such programs and foreign market  conditions on future
sales and on operating income. The Company wishes to caution the reader that, in
addition to the  matters  described  above,  various  factors  such as delays in
contracts  from  key  customers,  demand  and  market  acceptance  risk  for new
products,  continued  or  increased  competitive  pricing  and  the  effects  of
under-utilization  of plants and  facilities,  particularly  in Europe,  and the
impact of worldwide  economic  conditions on demand for the Company's  products,
could  cause  results to differ  materially  from  those in any  forward-looking
statement.
