ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared To Three Months Ended September
30, 1995
Net sales of $120.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were
$10.8 million or 9.8% higher than the corresponding period in 1995. The
increase in sales reflects an increase in original equipment (OE) sales of
$15.2 million offset by a decrease in aftermarket sales of $4.4 million. The
decrease in aftermarket sales as a percentage of sales to 54.8% in 1996 from
64.0% in 1995 contributed to a decrease in gross profit margin from 40.8% to
37.0%. By geographic region, net sales were up in the third quarter of 1996
as compared with 1995 in all major worldwide locations.
Selling, administrative and operating expenses as a percentage of net sales
were 27.0% for the three months ended September 30, 1996, down from 29.4% in
the corresponding period in 1995. The decrease was primarily due to the
higher sales volume and cost reduction measures.
Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $12.0
million, a decrease of $.5 million, or 4.0% from the comparable period in
1995. Operating income margin decreased from 11.4% for the third quarter of
1995 to 9.9% for the third quarter of 1996 primarily due to lower gross profit
margin caused by the shift in product mix to original equipment sales.
The Company's 1996 year-to-date effective tax rate decreased to 37.0% from
39.0% during the third quarter. This adjustment in the third quarter was
approximately $.02 per share. The reduction resulted from lower domestic taxes
as well as a favorable mix of foreign earnings.
Activity under the Company's restructuring plan during the three months ended
September 30, 1996 is summarized as follows (amounts in thousands):

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Nine Months Ended September
30, 1995
Net sales of $362.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were
$35.0 million or 10.7% higher than the corresponding period in 1995. The
increase in sales reflects an increase in OE sales of approximately $28.6
million and an increase in aftermarket sales of approximately $6.4 million.
The decrease in aftermarket sales as a percentage of sales to 58.9% in the
first three quarters
7
<PAGE>
of 1996 from 63.2% in 1995 contributed to a decrease in gross profit margin
percentage from 40.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to 38.1%
for the corresponding period in 1996.
Selling, administrative and operating expenses as a percentage of sales for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were 27.8%, down from 29.2% during
the same period in 1995 due to increased sales volume and cost reduction
measures.
Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $37.4
million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 4.2% from the comparable period in
1995. The increase in operating income reflects the increased sales volume.
Operating income as a percent of sales decreased to 10.3% for the first nine
months of 1996 as compared to 11.0% for the corresponding period of 1995. The
reduction resulted from the higher mix of lower profit original equipment
sales offset somewhat by the lower selling, administrative and operating
expense as a percentage of sales.
The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 37.0% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 from 39.0% in the corresponding period in 1995. The
decrease in the consolidated tax rate reflects lower domestic taxes as well as
a favorable mix of foreign earnings.
Order input for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $392.3 million
compared with $351.5 million for the corresponding period in 1995, an 11.6%
increase. The increase was driven primarily by OE bookings which increased
26.8% while aftermarket bookings increased 2.5%. Backlog at September 30,
1996 was $172.0 million compared to $172.2 million at September 30, 1995.
The Company conducts substantial business activities in the Middle East,
including Iran. This region is subject to additional risks such as changes in
governmental policies, political risk, wars, transportation delays, tariffs
and imports, export, exchange and tax controls.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, the Company generated
$16.1 million in net funds from operating activities, as compared to the first
nine months of 1995 during which the company generated $17.8 million of net
funds from operating activities. Operating cash flow for the first nine
months of 1996 compared to the first nine months of 1995 reflects a negative
impact of higher taxes paid.
At September 30, 1996, the Company had outstanding under its credit
facilities borrowings totaling $92.7 million and letters of credit totaling
$10.6 million, and there was $38.1 million available for borrowing thereunder.
As of September 30, 1996, the Company has outstanding $18.0 million of
obligations relating to performance bonds.
Interest on the Company's outstanding senior notes is fixed at 7.92%.
However, all of the Company's borrowings under its other credit facilities are
currently at floating interest rates. Interest costs are therefore subject to
significant changes depending upon the movement of short-term interest rates.

solicitation of proxies for election of directors, or as otherwise required, in
each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including, without
limitation, such person's written consent to be named in a proxy statement as a
nominee and to serving as a director if elected); and (ii) as to such
--
stockholder and such beneficial owner, if any, (A) the name and address of such
-
stockholder and such beneficial owner as they appear on the Corporation's books,
and (B) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned

Nominations of persons for election to the board of directors of the
Corporation may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors

-
the direction of the board of directors or (ii) provided that the board of

meeting, by a stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at
the time of giving of the notice provided for in this Section 1.01.3, who is
entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting and who complies
with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.01.3. In the event the
Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of election
of one or more directors to the board of directors, any such stockholder may
nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such
position(s) as specified in the Corporation's notice of meeting, if the
stockholder's notice shall be delivered or mailed to, and received by, the
Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than
the 90th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of
business on the later of the 60th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th

3
<PAGE>
following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of

elected at such meeting.
At the request of the board of directors, any person nominated by the board
of directors for election as a director shall furnish to the Secretary that
information required to be set forth in a stockholder's notice of nomination
which pertains to the nominee. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the
contrary, no persons shall be eligible for election as a director of the
Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
Section 1.01.3. The presiding officer of the meeting shall, if the facts
warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not properly
made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.01.3, and if he should
so determine, such presiding officer shall declare to the meeting that any such
nomination not properly made shall be disregarded. In addition to the

performance of the duties of the inspectors.
In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots, the
inspectors shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any envelopes
submitted with those proxies, the ballots and the regular books and records of
the Corporation. The inspectors may consider other reliable information for the
limited purpose of reconciling proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of
banks, brokers, their nominees or similar persons which represent more votes
than the holder of a proxy is authorized by the record owner to cast or more
votes than the stockholder holds of record. If the inspectors consider other
reliable information for the limited purpose permitted in this Section 1.06.2,
the inspectors, at the time they make their certification pursuant to clause (e)
of this Section 1.06.2, shall specify the precise information considered by
them, the person or persons from whom they obtained the information, when the

writing without a meeting may, by a written instrument signed by such
stockholder or his attorney-in-fact and filed with the Secretary, authorize
another person or persons to vote at any such meeting and express such consent
or dissent for him by proxy. No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after
the expiration of three years from the date of such proxy, unless such proxy

Secretary, if any, or if there be no Assistant Secretary, in the absence of the

provisions of this Section 1.10, without a
7
<PAGE>
meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in
writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of
outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be
necessary to authorize to take such action at a meeting at which all shares
entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the
Corporation. Prompt notice of the taking of any action without a meeting by less
than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not
consented in writing. [Section 228(a), (d).]
Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder
who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the
corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the earliest
dated consent delivered to the Corporation, written consents signed by a
sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the Corporation.
[Section 228(c).]
The record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to
corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be fixed by the board of
directors. Any stockholder seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take
corporate action by written consent without a meeting shall, by written notice
to the Chairman or the Secretary, request the board of directors to fix a record
date. Upon receipt of such a request, the Chairman or Secretary shall, as
promptly as practicable, call a special meeting of the board of directors to be
held as promptly as practicable, but in any event not more than 10 days
following the date of receipt of such a request. At such a meeting, the board
of directors shall fix a record date which record date shall not precede the
date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of
directors, and which record date shall not be more than 10 days after the date
that the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors.
Notice of the record date shall be published in accordance with the rules and
policies of any stock exchange on which securities of the Corporation are then
listed or, if the securities of the Corporation are not listed on a stock
exchange, then notice of the record date shall be published in accordance with
the rules and policies of the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation National Market System. If no record date has been so fixed
by the board of directors, the record date for determining the stockholders
entitled to consent to the corporate action in writing without a meeting, where
no prior action by the board of directors is required by the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware, shall be the first date on which a signed written
consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to
the Corporation. If no date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior
action by the board of directors is required by the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to
consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close
of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution
taking such prior action.
In the event of the delivery to the Corporation of a written consent or
consents purporting to represent the requisite voting power to authorize or take
corporate action and/or revocations relating thereto, the Secretary shall
provide for the safekeeping of such
8
<PAGE>
consents and revocations and shall, as promptly as practicable, engage
inspectors for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the
validity of the consents and revocations. No action by written consent without a
meeting shall be effective until such inspectors have completed their review,
determined that the requisite number of valid and unrevoked consents has been
obtained to authorize or take actions specified in the consents and certified
such determination for entry in the records of the Corporation for the purpose
of recording the proceedings of the meeting of the stockholders.
For the purposes of this Section 1.10, delivery to the Corporation shall be
effected by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its
principal place of business, or the Secretary at the principal executive offices
of the Corporation. Delivery made to the Corporation's registered office shall
be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any

other lawful action, the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record date,
which shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such

INDEMNIFICATION
---------------
SECTION 6.01. NATURE OF INDEMNITY. The Corporation shall indemnify any
--------------------
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or
was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or
was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a
director or officer, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or
omitted in such capacity, and may indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to such an action, suit or proceeding by reason
of the fact that he is or was or has agreed to become an employee or agent of
the Corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of
the Corporation as an employee or agent
20
<PAGE>
of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful; except that in the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the
Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (1) such indemnification shall be
-
limited to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in the defense or settlement of such action or suit, and (2) no
-
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court
in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem
proper.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
---------------
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
SECTION 6.02. SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE. To the extent that a director, officer,
-------------------
employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section
6.01 of these Bylaws or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
SECTION 6.03. DETERMINATION THAT INDEMNIFICATION IS PROPER. Any
---------------------------------------------
indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation under Section 6.01
of these Bylaws (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation
unless a determination is made that indemnification of the director or officer
is not proper in the circumstances because he has not met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 of these Bylaws. Any
indemnification of an employee or agent of the Corporation under Section 6.01 of
these Bylaws (unless ordered by a court) may be made by the Corporation upon a
determination that indemnification of the employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
Section 6.01 of these Bylaws. Any such determination shall be made (1) by the
-
board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who
were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is
-
not obtainable, or,
21
<PAGE>
even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.
-
SECTION 6.04. ADVANCE PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Expenses incurred by a
----------------------------
director or officer in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding
shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined
that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in
this Article. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so
paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems
appropriate. The board of directors may authorize the Corporation's counsel to
represent such director, officer, employee or agent in any action, suit or
proceeding, whether or not the Corporation is a party to such action, suit or
proceeding.
SECTION 6.05. PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Any
--------------------------------------------------------
indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation under Sections 6.01
and 6.02 of these Bylaws, or advance of costs, charges and expenses to a
director or officer under Section 6.04 of these Bylaws, shall be made promptly,
and in any event within 30 days, upon the written request of the director or
officer. If a determination by the Corporation that the director or officer is
entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article is required, and the
Corporation fails to respond within 60 days to a written request for indemnity,
the Corporation shall be deemed to have approved such request. If the
Corporation denies a written request for indemnity or advancement of expenses,
in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made
within 30 days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this
Article shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of
competent jurisdiction. Such person's costs and expenses incurred in connection
with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in
part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall
be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim
for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 6.04 of these
Bylaws where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the
Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in
Section 6.01 of these Bylaws, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on
the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its board of
directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of
the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 of these Bylaws, nor the fact that
there has been an actual determination by the Corporation (including its board
of directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that the
claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to
the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable
standard of conduct.
22
<PAGE>
SECTION 6.06. SURVIVAL; PRESERVATION OF OTHER RIGHTS. The foregoing
---------------------------------------
indemnification provisions shall be deemed to be a contract between the
Corporation and each director, officer, employee and agent who serves in any
such capacity at any time while these provisions as well as the relevant
provisions of the Delaware Corporation Law are in effect and any repeal or
modification thereof shall not affect any right or obligation then existing with
respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any action, suit,
or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or
in part upon any such state of facts. Such a "contract right" may not be
modified retroactively without the consent of such director, officer, employee
or agent.
The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as
to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
SECTION 6.07. INSURANCE. The Corporation shall purchase and maintain
----------
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a
director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against
him and incurred by him or on his behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of
his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to
indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article;
provided, that such insurance is available on acceptable terms, which
- --------
determination shall be made by a vote of a majority of the entire board of
directors.
SECTION 6.08. SEVERABILITY. If this Article or any portion hereof shall
-------------
be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the
Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director or officer and may
indemnify each employee or agent of the Corporation as to costs, charges and
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the
right of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable
portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law.
SECTION 6.09. DEFINITION. For purposes of this Article, the term
-----------
"Corporation" shall include constituent corporations referred to in Subsection
(h) of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or
