                                     PART I
ITEM 1.   BUSINESS
- -------   --------

BW/IP, Inc. ("BW/IP") was incorporated in Delaware on March 12, 1987 to acquire
from Borg-Warner Corporation ("Borg-Warner") BW/IP International, Inc.
("International"), International's foreign marketing affiliates and certain
related assets in The Netherlands and other overseas locations (the
"Acquisition").  All of BW/IP's operations are conducted through International
and International's subsidiaries (BW/IP, International and its consolidated
subsidiaries are together referred to as the "Company").  Prior to the
Acquisition, Borg-Warner had operated certain of the International businesses
for over 30 years.  In the course of an initial public offering in May 1991 and
a number of secondary offerings thereafter, a majority of the shares of the
Company's Common Stock were sold to the public.

The Company is a worldwide supplier of advanced technology fluid transfer and
control equipment, systems and services.  Its principal products are pumps,
mechanical seals and valves.  The Company designs, manufactures, distributes and
services throughout the world both highly engineered and standard centrifugal
pumps primarily for use in the power and petroleum industries, mechanical seals
and seal support systems primarily for use in the petroleum and chemical
industries and valves for use in the power, process and marine industries.  The
Company has manufacturing facilities in seven countries and service centers in
20 countries.

The Company operates in one business segment.  For certain financial information
by geographic location see Note 10 to Consolidated Financial Statements on page
32 of the 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders which page is incorporated by
reference in this Form 10-K.


MARKETS SERVED

Sales of the Company's pumps, seals and valves are primarily made to the
petroleum, power and (to a lesser extent) chemical markets.  Approximately 72%
of the Company's 1996 net sales were to the petroleum and power markets
worldwide.

The principal segments of the petroleum industry that the Company serves are
refineries and pipelines.  In addition to the U.S. market, which in 1996
accounted for approximately 50% of the Company's net sales to the petroleum
industry, the Company serves the petroleum industry in Europe, Africa, Asia,
South America, Canada, Mexico and the Middle East.

Sales to worldwide power markets include both nuclear and fossil fuel powered
generating utilities.  The majority of the Company's sales in the nuclear power
market are in the United States and Japan, where the Company's large installed
base of equipment provides a continuing market for products and services to
ensure safety and reliability, a major customer concern.  A significant
characteristic of the nuclear market worldwide is the stringent requirements
that must be met in order to sell products to nuclear power plants.  For
example, the Company maintains a Nuclear Stamp ("N Stamp") from the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers, which is required for qualification to supply
certain kinds of products to the U.S. nuclear industry.  The Company must comply
with significant requirements (including triennial audits) in order to maintain
its N Stamp.  Sales to the nuclear power industry relate primarily to
aftermarket products and services and comprised approximately 11% of the
Company's 1996 sales.

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
The Company could face liability in excess of its own commercial or government
provided insurance if any of its products were found to contribute to an
accident at a nuclear power facility or at other industrial facilities.  The
Company does not maintain nuclear liability insurance for the United States or
Canada, but maintains an aggregate of $15 million in nuclear liability insurance
for all other countries.  The Federal Price-Anderson Act of 1954 provides U.S.
nuclear utilities with a system of no-fault insurance coverage up to $7 billion
for third party losses or damages resulting from a nuclear incident.  Canada's
Nuclear Liability Act provides for a system of insurance coverage that generally
makes the operator of a nuclear installation absolutely liable for third party
claims arising as a result of a nuclear incident, up to a maximum liability of
Can.$75 million.  No assurance can be given that the Company's insurance
coverages will be adequate in the event of a major nuclear incident.

Most of the non-nuclear power sales are to utilities in the United States,
Mexico, Canada, Europe and Asia/Pacific.

The Company also serves agricultural, municipal water, chemical, pulp and paper,
mineral and ore processing and other general industry markets.


PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

The Company designs, manufactures, distributes and services centrifugal pumps,
submersible electric motors and pumps, mechanical seals, mechanical seal support
systems and valves.  Pump products and services (including valves) accounted for
approximately 69%, 66% and 71% of the Company's 1996, 1995 and 1994 net sales,
respectively, and seal products and services accounted for approximately 31%,
34% and 29% of net sales, respectively, for such periods.

While the Company produces standard products, its technical focus and expertise
is in engineered products for severe service applications where a specialized
product is required for extreme temperatures, high horsepower, high speed or
high pressure. Compared to standard products, the Company's specialty products
are usually capable of higher performance, are more differentiated from each
other and have greater engineering content. Because of unique designs and high
engineering content, the Company's customers for specialized products tend to
purchase more aftermarket services than customers for the Company's standard
products. Recently the Company expanded its engineered products lines through
two acquisitions. In December 1996 the Company acquired the assets of
Anchor/Darling Valve Company ("Anchor/Darling"), a manufacturer of high-
specification, custom engineered valves, and in January 1997 the Company
acquired the engineered pump business of Stork Pompen B.V. ("Stork Pompen"), a
manufacturer of centrifugal pumps for the petroleum and municipal water
industries.

Pump Products.  Pump products for the power generating industry include a
- -------------                                                            
variety of pumps used in both nuclear and fossil fuel utilities to generate
steam.  Products for the nuclear power generating industry include reactor
coolant pumps, horizontal multi-stage pumps for steam generators, and vertical
circulating pumps.  Products for the fossil fuel power generation industry are
horizontal double case pumps for high pressure boiler feed, horizontal multi-
stage pumps for low pressure boiler feed, vertical double case pumps and
vertical circulating pumps.

Pump products for the petroleum industry include horizontal double case pumps
used especially for hot oils under high pressure, horizontal multi-stage pumps
used in pipelines, vertical pumps used for low temperature processes, vertical
circulating pumps used for cooling water, submersible pumps used for water or
brine injection in oil fields, and submersible water pumps used on offshore
platforms to supply 

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
water for fire fighting. The Company also supplies pumps for other industrial
uses, including industrial production, utility services and pollution control,
the mining industry and pumps and related aftermarket parts and services to the
U.S. military, primarily the U.S. Navy.

Seal Products.  The mechanical seal is critical to the smooth operation of
- -------------                                                             
centrifugal pumps, compressors and mixers because mechanical seals control
leakage between a rotating shaft and a stationary casing and in doing so, reduce
shaft wear on pumps, compressors and mixers used in many industries.  The need
to reduce or eliminate the leakage of liquids and gases due to increasingly
stringent environmental regulations and safety concerns has expanded the market
for mechanical seals.  The Company's seals are used on a wide variety of pumps,
mixers, compressors, steam turbines and specialty equipment, principally in the
oil refining and chemical processing industries.  The Company also manufactures
a dry gas seal used in gas transmission and oil and gas production markets.

Valve Products.  The Company offers a complete line of gate, globe and check
- --------------                                                              
valves (including valve actuators) for the nuclear power market.  Through the
Anchor/Darling acquisition the Company broadened its valve product line to serve
both nuclear and non-nuclear customers in the power, process and marine
industries.

Aftermarket Products.  Aftermarket products and services for pumps, mechanical
- --------------------                                                          
seals and valves include supplying parts, making repairs, and providing a
variety of technical services for maintenance life extension, retrofitting and
upgrading of customer equipment.  For example, the Company repairs pumps and
seals to acceptable operating condition, provides field diagnostic analysis and
in-place machinery repair and remanufactures pumps to restore them to their
original or upgraded condition.


WORLDWIDE FACILITIES AND DISTRIBUTION

The Company is engaged in the design, manufacture, distribution and service of
its products throughout the world.  Pumps or pump components are produced in
plant facilities in the United States (two in California, one in Oklahoma, two
in New Mexico), The Netherlands (one in Etten-Leur, one in Hengelo), Mexico,
Argentina and Belgium. Seals are produced in facilities in the United States,
The Netherlands, Germany, Mexico, Argentina and Japan. Valves are produced in
plant facilities in the United States.

In 1995, a new large-component facility in New Mexico was completed and, in
conjunction with the Company's existing small-component facility, provides a
significant portion of pump components previously manufactured at the Company's
integrated U.S. pump plants. These U.S. plants now focus on the engineering,
assembly and testing of pumps. The two specialized component manufacturing
facilities also supply components to other Company plants outside of the U.S. on
an economically selective basis. The construction of the large-component
facility was an important element of the Company's restructuring program which
is described in more detail in Management's Discussion and Analysis and in Note
3 to Consolidated Financial Statements starting respectively on page 12 and page
22 of the 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders.

In 1996, nearly 42% of the Company's products manufactured in the United States,
measured by gross sales (which include intercompany sales), were shipped to
international markets.  Pump manufacturing facilities in The Netherlands and
Belgium and seal manufacturing facilities in The Netherlands and Germany are the
primary source of pumps and seals sold in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
The Argentine facility provides products primarily for Argentine customers as
well as customers in other South American countries, while the Japanese plant
provides products for Japan and parts of Southeast Asia.  

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
The acquisition of Stork Pompen is expected to provide the Company greater
access to pump markets in Europe, Asia, the Pacific Rim and South America. In
addition to its own operations, the Company is a party to numerous license
agreements and joint ventures for the manufacture and/or service of pump and
seal products.

The Company's Mexican operation, which has approximately 280 employees,
manufactures pumps and mechanical seals.  Its principal customers in Mexico are
Petroleos Mexicanos (the state-owned oil company) and Comision Federal de
Electricidad (the national electric power company).  The Company's large
vertical circulating pumps manufactured in Mexico are distributed worldwide.

The Company's worldwide pump, seal and valve sales forces sell its products
directly to end-users and engineering and construction firms.  The Company's
worldwide pump sales organization sells to petroleum, power and general industry
customers within regional territories.  A portion of the Company's seal products
are sold directly to original equipment ("OE") manufacturers, for either pumps,
compressors, mixers or other rotating equipment requiring sealing.
Distributors, dealers, commissioned representatives and sales agents are used to
a lesser extent in the distribution and sale of the products.

The Company has sales offices in most European countries and has independent
representatives to support foreign sales efforts where the Company does not
maintain a presence.  Of the Company's 52 service facilities, 30 are located
outside the United States in Argentina, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany,
Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, The Netherlands, Saudi Arabia,
Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom
and Venezuela.  An agent of the Company operates one service facility in Saudi
Arabia.


COMPETITION

In general, the markets for the Company's pump and seal products are highly
competitive.  In the OE market, the Company competes against a variety of other
companies, some of which are significantly larger, have greater financial
resources, broader product lines or have larger overall market shares; this is
particularly true in the mechanical seal market where the Company estimates that
John Crane Inc. has a substantially larger market share than the Company or any
other competitor.  Competition, particularly for OE sales, has been increasing
in a number of the Company's served markets.

Competition occurs on the basis of price, technical expertise, delivery,
previous installation history and reputation for quality.  Delivery speed and
the proximity of service centers are particularly important with respect to
aftermarket products and services.  The Company's customers, especially for
pumps, are more likely to rely on the Company for aftermarket products and
services relating to more highly engineered and customized products than for
standard products.  Price competition tends to be more significant for OE than
aftermarket services and has been increasingly important with ongoing over
capacity in the Company's pump and seal markets.

Due to the high cost of inventory, customers for pump and seal products are
attempting to reduce the number of vendors from which they purchase in order to
reduce the size and diversity of inventory.  Although vendor reduction programs
could adversely affect the Company's business, the Company has been successful
in entering into "partnering" arrangements with a number of companies both in
the United States and overseas.  Under these arrangements, in exchange for
certain services the customer commits to using the Company as a principal or
sole source.  The Company is seeking to enter into similar arrangements with
additional customers.

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
Until 1995 the Company was the only corporation among its global competitors
which manufactured and distributed both pumps and mechanical seals.  Since then
a domestic pump and competing domestic seal company have merged, and another
domestic pump company formed a global alliance with another competing seal
company.  So far the Company does not believe  these events have any significant
impact on its business.

In the aftermarket portion of its pump and seal business, the Company competes
against both large and well-established national or global competitors and, in
some markets, against smaller regional and local companies, as well as the in-
house maintenance departments of the Company's end-user customers.  In the
petroleum industry the competitors for aftermarket services tend to be the
customers themselves because of their sophisticated in-house capabilities,
whereas in other industries, except the nuclear power industry, the competitors
for aftermarket services tend to be low cost replicators of spare parts and
local repair shops for the Company's products.  In the sale of aftermarket
products and services the Company enjoys the benefit of a large installed base
of pumps and mechanical seals which require maintenance, repair and replacement
parts.  The Company has certain competitive advantages in the nuclear power
industry because it has obtained and maintained the N Stamp that is required to
service customers in that industry, and because the Company has a considerable
base of proprietary knowledge.


CUSTOMERS

The Company sells to a wide variety of customers.  No individual customer
accounted for more than 2% of the Company's 1996 net sales and the Company's ten
largest customers represented approximately 10% of the Company's net sales in
1996.


BACKLOG

The Company's backlog of firm unfilled orders totaled approximately $175.2
million as of December 31, 1996, compared with approximately $148.2 million as
of December 31, 1995.  The year-end backlog at December 31, 1996, is comprised
of 28% aftermarket parts and services compared with 31% for the prior year.  The
Company estimates approximately 90% of the December 31, 1996, backlog will be
shipped by December 31, 1997.


RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

The Company's activities are subject to the customary risks of operating in an
international environment, such as unstable political situations, local laws,
the potential imposition of trade restrictions or tariff increases and currency
fluctuations.  Historically, U.S. dollar currency fluctuations have not
significantly affected export orders from either the United States or any
foreign Company location.  The risk of currency fluctuations is mitigated by the
fact that most of the Company's foreign business transactions are conducted in
the local currency.  To minimize the impact of foreign exchange rate movements
on its operating results, the Company enters into forward exchange contracts to
hedge specific foreign currency denominated transactions.  Given the nature of
its business, the Company's financial results are subject to fluctuations in
foreign currency rates against the U.S. dollar within the countries where it
operates. See Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 20 and 21 of
the 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders, which are incorporated by reference in
this Form 10-K. The Company conducts substantial business activities in the

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
Middle East and is a leading supplier of pump and seal products to Saudi Arabia
and Iran. The Middle East region is subject to additional risks such as changes
in governmental policies, political risk, wars, transportation delays, tariffs,
and import, export, exchange and tax controls.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company conducts research and development at its own facilities in various
locations.  In 1996, 1995, and 1994, the Company spent approximately $6.0
million, $6.6 million, and $5.3 million, respectively, on Company-sponsored
research and development.

Management believes current expenditures are adequate to sustain ongoing
research and development activities.  The Company's research and development
group consists of engineers involved in new product development as well as the
support and improvement of existing products.  Additionally, the Company
sponsors consortium programs for research with various universities and conducts
limited development work jointly with certain of its vendors, licensees and
customers.


INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Most of the intangible property that the Company uses in its business, including
technology, licenses, patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade names, was
acquired in connection with the Acquisition.  The Company considers its
trademarks Byron Jackson(R), United Centrifugal(R), Byron Jackson/United /TM/,
BW Seals(R), GASPAC(R), Pacific Wietz /TM/, Five Star Seal(R) and 
Wilson-Snyder(R) to be important to its business. The patents underlying much of
the technology for the Company's products have been in the public domain for
many years. Surviving patents are not considered, either individually or in the
aggregate, material to the Company's business. However, the Company's pool of
proprietary information, consisting of know-how and trade secrets relating to
the design, manufacture and operation of its products and their use, is
considered particularly important and valuable. Accordingly the Company actively
protects such proprietary information.


RAW MATERIALS

The principal raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its
industrial products are normally readily available.  While all raw materials are
purchased from outside sources, the Company has been able to obtain an adequate
supply of raw materials and no shortage of such materials is currently
anticipated.  The Company has elected to obtain certain materials from a single
supplier for certain requirements, but alternate sources could be developed
without creating a critical shortage for the Company.  The Company intends to
expand its use of worldwide sourcing to capitalize on low cost sources of
purchased goods.

Suppliers of raw materials for nuclear markets must be qualified by the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers and, accordingly, are limited in number.
However, the Company to date has experienced no significant difficulty in
obtaining such materials.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
EMPLOYEES AND LABOR RELATIONS

The Company and its subsidiaries employ approximately 3,300 persons of whom
approximately 50% work in the United States. The Company's hourly employees at
its three principal U.S. pump manufacturing plants in Los Angeles, San Jose and
Tulsa and at its valve manufacturing plant in Williamsport, Pennsylvania are
unionized. The Company's U.S. operations have been conducted without a work
stoppage since 1978. The Company's operations in Mexico, The Netherlands,
Germany and Belgium are unionized. Unions represent approximately 24% of the
Company's worldwide work force. The Company believes employee relations
throughout its operations are satisfactory.


ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AND PROCEEDINGS

The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations in all
jurisdictions in which it has operating facilities and periodically makes
capital expenditures for pollution abatement and control to meet environmental
requirements.  In connection with the Acquisition, Borg-Warner agreed to bring
certain environmental matters into compliance with applicable regulations,
including matters at the Temecula, California facility.  In addition, under the
Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980, the Company was named a potentially responsible party ("PRP") at the
Operating Industries, Inc. Superfund Site (Monterey Park, California)
("Operating Industries") and the Stringfellow Acid Pits Superfund Site (Glen
Avon, California) ("Stringfellow") due to waste materials from the Company's
plants having been disposed of at these sites.  These sites have been
administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  Borg-Warner is
contractually obligated by the agreements relating to the Acquisition to
indemnify the Company in the event it is held liable as a PRP at the Operating
Industries and Stringfellow sites.  Borg-Warner has undertaken the active
defense or representation of the Company in the legal and administrative
proceedings related to the Operating Industries and Stringfellow matters, and
has paid amounts as they have become due in connection therewith.

As a result of pre-existing contamination found at its property in San Jose,
California, the Company is in the process of performing remediation work on the
site.  The Company has established an allowance for certain remediation and
other anticipated costs and initiated legal action against the prior owner for
indemnification of past and anticipated future expenses. Pursuant to the terms 
of a purchase and sale agreement, the prior owner of the Company's Williamsport,
Pennsylvania facility is obligated to perform remediation, if required, for 
contamination existing at the time the Company acquired the property.

The Company believes that future expenditures will not have a material adverse
effect on its financial position and has established allowances which it
believes to be adequate to cover potential environmental liabilities.
 
 
EXPORT LICENSES

Licenses are required from U.S. government agencies to export from the United
States many of the Company's products.  In particular, products with nuclear
applications are restricted, although limitations are placed on the export of
certain other pump and seal products as well.

ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
- -------   --------------------------------------------------------------
          MATTERS
          -------

Information on the market prices and dividends regarding the Company's Common
Stock, which appears on page 35 of the 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders, is
incorporated herein by reference.

As of March 7, 1997, BW/IP's Common Stock was held by approximately 4,100
stockholders of record or through nominee or street name accounts with brokers.

BW/IP's ability to pay dividends on its Common Stock depends on International's
ability to pay dividends to BW/IP.  International's domestic credit agreement
and senior notes restrict the payment of dividends by International to BW/IP
(and thereby limit BW/IP's ability to pay dividends on the Common Stock) except
in certain specified circumstances or unless certain financial tests are met.
As of December 31, 1996, after giving effect to the dividends declared to date,
approximately $48 million is available for the payment of dividends by
International to BW/IP pursuant to the most restrictive covenants.

                        1997 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

PURPOSE

The BW/IP International, Inc. 1997 Management Incentive Plan (MIP) is intended
to reward selected members of the Company's management team whose achievements
contribute substantially to the Company's performance as defined in annual
objectives and operating strategies.

This Plan is in force for calendar and fiscal year 1997 (1 January to 31
December 1997).  The Plan will not be continued beyond the Year ending December
31, 1997 without the written approval of the Compensation, Benefits and
Organization Committee ("Compensation Committee").


ELIGIBILITY

The minimum qualification for participation in the Plan, using the BW/IP job
evaluation system, is 670 Hay points with 175 Accountability points.  In
addition to the minimum point-based eligibility requirement, an employee must be
recommended by an Officer of the Company and be approved by the President and,
in some cases, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  The
Administrator will notify Participants of their eligibility in writing.

Participants will be assigned to one of seven (7) Tiers which will determine the
amount of incentive compensation available to the Participant, pursuant to Plan
provisions, and may also dictate specific Performance Objectives, performance
standards, or other requirements for receipt of an Award by the Participant.
Generally, assignment to a Tier will be based on the number of Hay points for
the position.  The President may alter the Tier assignment,  however, based on
his assessment of factors which may not be entirely reflected by Hay points.

An employee must be on the BW/IP payroll prior to July 1 of the Year to be
eligible for participation in that Year's Plan.


DETERMINATION AND ALLOCATION OF AWARDS

Before the beginning of each Year, the Compensation Committee will establish
each Participant's Award potential for such year based upon the MIP Tier to
which the Participant is assigned.  The Award potential will be defined as a
percent (or percentages) of the annual base salary of the Participant as of 31
December of the Year.

SETTING PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES

Awards earned pursuant to the Plan will be based on achievement of pre-
established annual Performance Objectives, as determined by the Administrator.
Upon establishment of the Performance Objectives for the Year, the Administrator
will notify each Participant in writing of the established Objectives and the
associated Award opportunity at various levels of performance.

No participant may be assigned more than six (6) objectives.  Each Performance
Objective will be assigned a relative weight, with the total weights for all
Objectives equaling 100%.  No single Objective may be weighted less than 10%.

</TABLE>

As a condition of participation in the MIP for 1997, a Participant's Performance
Objectives must be approved by the Administrator no later than December 31,
1996.  By this date, the specific performance level may not be established,
merely the measure by which performance will be measured.  For example:

 .  A Participant has "Revenue" approved as an Objective with a relative weight
   of 20%
 
 .  The estimated or projected performance target may be $75 million
 
 .  The Objective of "Revenue" is approved by the Administrator by December 31,
   1996 but the target of $75 million is still tentative.

It is the responsibility of the Participant to ensure that the Administrator has
determined and approved Performance Objectives prior to December 31 of the
preceding Year.

                        1997 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

SETTING PERFORMANCE TARGETS

After the Company's objectives for the Year have been determined, the
Participant will receive the specific performance targets for each objective.
This will typically occur after:

 .  The financial results for the prior year have been presented to the Board of
   Directors
 
 .  The Board of Directors has approved overall Company performance objectives
   for the year.

For each Objective, a specific scale will be established indicating the amount
of Award, subject to the relative weights, to be paid for a given level of
performance on that Objective.  For example, if a financial objective is $100
million the performance award scale might be:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                            PERFORMANCE RANGE
FINANCIAL OBJECTIVE      AS A PERCENT OF TARGET
- ----------------------   -----------------------
<S>                      <C>
Below $80 mm                        0%
$80 mm                             80%
$85 mm                             85%
$90 mm                             90%
$95 mm                             95%
$100 mm                           100%
$105 mm                           105%
$110 mm                           110%
$115 mm                           115%
$120 mm                           120%
</TABLE>

Performance levels between two indicated levels will be interpolated on a linear
basis.

Prior to the final assignment of targeted performance levels, the Company will
ensure that aggregated performance among the various Divisions, Departments, and
Units equals overall performance; for example:

 .  Total revenue from all entities must equal the Company's targeted revenue for
   the year
 
 .  Similarly, total profit from all entities must equal the Company's targeted
   profit for the year.

                        1997 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

REVIEWING PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES

At or near the midpoint of the Year, the Administrator* will review the
Performance Objectives for each Participant to ensure the continued relevance
and appropriateness of the Objectives.

If the Administrator determines that a change in Objectives is indicated, the
Participant may receive a substitute Objective for one or more Performance
Objectives that were established at or near the beginning of the Year.

If, during the course of the Year, the Administrator determines one or more of
the established Objectives are no longer suitable given Company objectives and
priorities due to a change in the Company's business, operations, corporate
structure, capital structure, or other conditions deemed by the Administrator to
be material, the Administrator may substitute one or more Objectives with a
different Objective as considered appropriate and equitable. The Administrator
may make such substitutions but may not alter the targeted performance level of
an established Objective. Extending the foregoing example:

 .  The Participant's "Revenue" Performance Objective is determined by the
   Administrator to be inappropriate in light of significant changes in the
   Company's markets and business strategy
 
 .  The Administrator may not change the Objective from the originally
   established target of $75 million
 
 .  Instead, the Administrator authorized a substitution of the Revenue Objective
   for a Market Share Objective of 12%.
 
PAYMENT OF AWARDS EARNED

The basis for Awards for a given Plan Year will be the assessment by the
Administrator of performance against the pre-established Performance Objectives.
The Award for each Participant will not exceed the Participant's established
maximum award potential.

The performance level on each Objective, as a percent of target, will be
assessed against the performance-award scale for that Objective, then multiplied
by the relative weight, as shown in the Illustration. The Award earned by each
Participant will be paid in cash, as soon as administratively possible but in no
event later than March 15 of the Year following the Plan Year.

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

A Participant must be an employee of BW/IP on 31 December of the Plan Year to be
eligible for payment of an Award.

In the event of a Participant's death, permanent disability, or retirement
during a Plan Year the Administrator will determine the amount of Award, if any,
to be paid to the Participant, their estate, or their legal representative. In
no event, however, will an Award be paid if the death, permanent disability, or
retirement occurs prior to July 1 of the Plan Year.

OTHER PROVISIONS

No Right to Participate. Nothing in the Plan will be deemed to give a
   Participant or a Participant's legal representative or any other person or
   entity claiming under or through a Participant any contract or right to
   participate in the benefits of the Plan.

No Right to Award. Prior to the Administrator's determination and approval of an
   Award payment, a Participant has no right to or claim on any payments
   pursuant to this Plan. The Administrator has the full, final, and binding
   authority with respect to determining the amount of Award, if any, based on
   the review and interpretation of all available information.

No Employment Right. Participation in this Plan will not be construed as
   constituting a commitment, guarantee, agreement, or understanding of any kind
   that the Company will continue to employ any individual.

No Right to Participate in Other Plans. Participation in this Plan will not be

   Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, Employment Continuation Program and
   any successor plans or programs thereto.

Effect on Other Compensation and Benefits Programs. Award payments will be 
   included for U.S. pension calculations but will be excluded from calculations
   for any and all insurance programs and plans and will be excluded from
   calculations for the Capital Accumulation Plan. Pension and savings plans for
   Non-U.S. participants will govern for those plans.

Withholding. The Company has the right to deduct any sums national, state, and
   local tax laws require to be withheld with respect to the payment of any 
   Award.

Restricted Liability. Payments held by the Company before distribution will not
   be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements or any Participant or
   beneficiary, or be taken by attachment or garnishment, or by any other legal

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Results of Operations


The following discussion and analysis is provided to increase understanding of,
and should be read in conjunction with, the consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes.

Net income was $27.8 million in 1996 compared with $23.3 million in 1995 and
$25.0 million in 1994. The related net income per share was $1.15 in 1996
compared with $0.96 in 1995 and $1.03 in 1994. Net income for 1994 reflects the
loss on discontinued operations of $1.9 million ($0.08 per share) related to the
October 1994 sale of the Company's Fluid Controls segment. The real property,
which was retained, was vacated by the Company's tenant at the end of 1995. The
property is currently offered for sale and proceeds are expected to approximate
the current carrying value of the property.

The Company's consolidated financial results for the last three years are
summarized below:

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

Bookings, an indicator of future sales, reached an all-time high of $525.0
million in 1996 compared with $458.6 million in 1995 and $464.5 million in 1994.
Order input grew in 1996 compared with 1995 and 1994 due to the Company's more
competitive selling prices which were supported by the improved cost structure
related to the restructure of the Pump Division and due to increased original
equipment (OE) project opportunities. OE bookings increased 30.4% in 1996
compared to 1995, while aftermarket bookings increased 5.1% over the same
period. OE bookings increased in all geographic regions served and were
especially strong in North America. The decrease in order input in 1995 compared
with 1994 was primarily due to lower OE bookings in the United States and
Mexico, offset in large measure by higher bookings in Europe and the Pacific
Rim.

Backlog at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $175.2 million, $148.2 million
and $159.4 million, respectively. Increased backlog in 1996 was due to the
strong bookings, while the decline in 1995 was principally due to the lower
bookings in the United States and Mexico.

Net sales increased to $492.2 million, also an all-time high, and compare
favorably with sales of $451.2 million in 1995 and $448.7 million in 1994. Net
sales in 1996 benefited from both the

Company's competitive pricing position and increased demand for its pump
products. Increases in 1996 were achieved in both the OE and aftermarket
sectors. OE sales increased $25.2 million or 14.8% in 1996 compared to 1995
while aftermarket sales increased $15.8 million or 5.6% over the same period.
Sales in 1995 were higher than in 1994 due to increases in the aftermarket
sector of $22.2 million which were partially offset by a decline in OE sales of
$19.7 million. This decline in OE sales in 1995 was related to a continuation of
the very competitive environment in the OE pumps sector offset by sales from
newly acquired entities of approximately $7 million and an increase in sales of
approximately $5 million due to more favorable currency exchange rates.

Net sales were up in 1996 in all major geographic regions served by the Company.
In 1995 as compared to 1994, net sales were down in Europe and Mexico, offset by
increases in the United States, South America and the Pacific Rim.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 37.6% in 1996 from 39.2% in
1995 and 37.7% in 1994 primarily as a result of the higher percentage of lower-
margin pump OE sales in 1996 compared to 1995. The increase in gross profit in
1995 compared with 1994 was generally due to a change in mix to the more
profitable aftermarket sales and cost reduction, partly as a result of
restructuring efforts.

The decline in gross margin in 1996 was offset by lower selling, administrative
and operating expenses which, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 27.0% in
1996 from 29.1% in 1995 and were comparable to the 26.7% in 1994, principally
due to sales growth and cost reduction efforts. The increase in selling,
administrative and operating expenses in 1995 compared to 1994 was primarily due
to lower-than-anticipated sales, lower royalty income received, costs associated
with acquisitions, expansion in the Pacific Rim and certain sales and marketing
initiatives outpacing sales growth. Expenses in 1995 also included a $1.3
million charge in the fourth quarter to realign personnel in Europe and the
United States.

Operating income in 1996 increased to $52.1 million up from $45.8 million in
1995 and $49.2 million in 1994. As a percentage of sales, operating income in
1996 improved to 10.6% versus 10.2% in 1995, although down from the 11.0% in
1994. The increase in the percentage in 1996 was a result of reductions in
selling, administrative and operating expenses outpacing the lower gross margin
percentage. The decline in operating income margin in 1995 compared with 1994
was due to higher selling, administrative and operating expenses which more than
offset the improvement in gross margin.

Higher debt levels increased interest expense by $0.6 million for 1996 compared
to 1995. In 1995, higher debt levels were more than offset by lower average
rates that reduced interest expense by $0.2 million for 1995 as compared to
1994.

The Company's effective tax rate was 37.0% in 1996 compared with 39.0% and 36.5%
in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate in 1996
resulted from a combination of factors, including geographical shifts in
earnings composition and implementation of various tax savings strategies. The
increase in the effective tax rate in 1995 from 1994 resulted primarily from
lower foreign tax credits in 1995.

Restructuring Plan


During 1996, the Company completed its restructuring plan initiated in 1993. The
restructuring plan was adopted because of continued overcapacity and increased
price sensitivity of pump OE purchasers. The restructuring was designed to
reduce substantially the Company's costs and permit the Company to improve
selectively its competitive position. As part of the plan, the Company opened a
new pump large-component manufacturing facility and refocused existing pump
facilities in the United States on engineering, assembly and testing.

The following table summarizes the Company's restructuring reserve during 1994
and 1995:

==================================================================================================
</TABLE>
During 1996, the restructuring plan was completed and the remaining reserve
balance was expended in accordance with the plan. Non-cash charges were not
significant.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personnel costs in the restructuring plan were primarily related to realigning
various employee groups to support the focused factory concept, including
termination, relocation and training of employees. Machinery relocation,
installation and related costs were principally for moving production equipment
among the various facilities, including installation and bringing such equipment
into full production. Asset disposal and organizational realignment costs
included estimated losses related to the disposal of property, plant and
equipment, and the costs for realigning certain support functions. Additional
activities resulting from the restructuring plan included cash expenditures
related to termination benefits for approximately 300 employees, the shutdown of
the Company's Fresno, California, plant and losses related to the disposal of
property, plant and equipment.

The benefits of the restructure and associated capital expenditures have been
realized as the changes were implemented. The ultimate savings generated by the
restructure will depend upon both current and future market conditions which
cannot be precisely quantified. Cost benefits relating to staff reductions have
been realized almost immediately, while the benefits from new facilities,
machinery and systems have been realized only after incurring certain start-up
costs and working through inefficiencies of the learning curve. Benefits arising
from new facilities, machinery and systems started to be realized during late
1995 and will continue in 1997 and beyond.

Cash flows from operations and credit available under its credit agreements are
the Company's primary sources of short-term liquidity. Cash flows from operating
activities in 1996 increased to $40.1 million over the $26.2 million in 1995 and
$32.5 million in 1994. The increase in cash flows in 1996 is generally due to
the higher income as well as improvement in working capital, especially
inventories, due to concerted efforts by the Company. Nonetheless, changes in
operating assets and liabilities are affected by the mix, stage of completion
and commercial terms of OE projects.

In 1996, the Company spent $18.8 million on capital expenditures primarily on
equipment renewal and replacement and service center expansion. Capital
expenditures of $26.6 million in 1995 were higher than in 1996 due to the
restructuring plan and service center expansion.

The debt to capital ratio at December 31, 1996, was 32.2%, compared with 31.6%
and 28.2% at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. At December 31, 1996, the
Company had borrowings outstanding under its credit facilities totaling $34.0
million and letters of credit totaling $14.3 million, and had $73.6 million
available for borrowing thereunder.

The Company has other uncommitted, unsecured revolving credit facilities
totaling $42.5 million, under which $0.7 million was outstanding as of December
31, 1996. In December 1996, the Company extended the terms of its domestic
credit facility to December 2001. It had $23.1 million of obligations relating
to performance bonds outstanding. The Company believes that funds provided by
operations together with existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet
its current operating, expansion and capital needs.

As of December 31, 1996, the Company had borrowings of $25.0 million outstanding
under senior notes issued in May 1992 and an additional $30.0 million of
borrowings outstanding under senior notes issued in November 1996 to certain
institutional investors. Interest on the Company's outstanding senior notes is
between 7.14% and 7.92%. However, all of the Company's borrowings under its
other senior credit facilities are currently at floating interest rates.
Interest costs are therefore subject to change depending upon the movement of
short-term interest rates.

Other

In 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of" (SFAS No. 121). The adoption of SFAS No. 121 had no
impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial
position.

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (SFAS No. 123). Adoption of the accounting standards prescribed by
SFAS No. 123 is optional. The Company has elected to continue accounting for its
plan under previous accounting standards and has adopted the "disclosure only"
alternative available under SFAS No. 123.

Inflation during the past three years has had little impact on the Company's
financial performance.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)


Note 1
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation
BW/IP, Inc. (formerly known as BWIP Holding, Inc.) is the parent company of
BW/IP International, Inc. (BW/IP). Unless the context otherwise requires,
references herein to "the Company" are to BW/IP, Inc. and BW/IP International,
Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company and its affiliates
manufacture and sell industrial pumps, seals and valves on a global basis.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments in companies where ownership is 50% or
less are accounted for on the equity method. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that significantly impact financial statement presentation and a
number of the individual balances shown therein.

Cash Equivalents
For purposes of presenting the consolidated statements of cash flows, short-term
investments, which have a maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase,
are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of cash equivalents
approximates fair value.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred. Renewals or betterments of significant items are
capitalized. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the respective
accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.

Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment are provided for
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as
follows:

<TABLE> 
- ----------------------------------------------
<S>                              <C>
Buildings and improvements       5 to 35 years
Machinery and equipment          3 to 12 years
Capital lease assets             5 to 25 years
- ----------------------------------------------
</TABLE> 


Income Taxes
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized based on applying enacted tax
rates to differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities. Provision is made for withholding taxes and income taxes, if
appropriate, on the unremitted earnings of joint ventures and foreign
subsidiaries which are not considered to be permanently reinvested.

Research and Development
Expenditures for research and development are charged to expense in the year
incurred. Such costs were $6.0 million in 1996, $6.6 million in 1995 and $5.3
million in 1994.

20.
<PAGE>
 
Foreign Currency Translation
The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated at
the end-of-period exchange rates; revenues and expenses are translated at the
average exchange rates prevailing during the period. The effects of unrealized
exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency assets and
liabilities into U.S. dollars are accumulated in stockholders' equity.

Forward Contracts
The Company is party to forward contracts in order to hedge certain transactions
denominated in foreign currencies. Gains and losses on forward contracts
qualifying as hedges are deferred and included in the measurement of the related
foreign currency transaction. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in
the event of nonperformance by counterparties to financial instruments, but it
expects all counterparties to meet their obligations given their high credit
ratings.

As of December 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding $19.0 million of foreign
currency forward contracts, the majority of which were in Dutch Guilders, and
which mature between two and fifteen months. Deferred gains and losses on
hedging transactions were not significant at December 31, 1996.

Contract Revenues and Costs
Revenues and costs pertaining to contracts are recognized as units are shipped.
Unbilled costs are included in inventory. Progress billings are shown as a
reduction of inventory unless such billings are in excess of accumulated costs,
in which case, such balances are included in accrued liabilities.

Goodwill
The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of purchased subsidiaries
is amortized on the straight-line basis over not more than 40 years. Permanent
diminutions in value, if any, are recognized immediately.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company places its temporary cash investments with financial institutions
and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial
institution. A limited concentration of credit risk exists because much of the
Company's business is with entities involved in the power and petroleum
industries. Such risk, however, is limited due to the large number of customers
comprising the Company's customer base, the Company's diverse product line and
the dispersion of the Company's customers across many different geographic
regions. As of December 31, 1996, the Company does not believe that it had
significant concentrations of credit risk.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 and 1994 consolidated
financial statements to conform to the 1996 presentation.

Note 2
Acquisitions and Dispositions

The Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Anchor/Darling Valves in
1996 and certain product lines of Wilson-Snyder in 1995. In 1994, the Company
acquired Pacific Wietz GmbH & Co. KG and Five Star Seal Corporation. These
acquisitions are in keeping with the Company's goals for strategic long-term
growth. The acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase method of accounting
and the results of operations of the acquired companies are included in the
Company's consolidated statements of income and retained earnings subsequent to
the date of acquisition. The acquisitions did not have a significant impact on
the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In October 1994, the Company completed the sale of its Fluid Controls segment.
Certain assets and liabilities of the segment, including real property and
certain accrued employee benefits, were retained by the Company. During 1994,
the Company recorded a loss from the disposition of $1.9 million, net of tax, or
$.08 per share. Losses recorded in 1994 related primarily to a reduction in the
net realizable value of real property and certain personnel termination costs.
The real property was vacated by the Company's tenant in 1995 and is currently
offered for sale. Proceeds are expected to approximate the current carrying
value of the property. Revenues for the discontinued Fluid Controls segment were
$23.4 million during 1994.


Note 3
Restructuring Charge

During 1996, the Company completed its restructuring plan initiated in 1993. The
restructuring plan was adopted because of continued overcapacity and increased
price sensitivity of pump original equipment purchasers. The restructuring was
designed to reduce substantially the Company's costs and permit the Company to
improve selectively its competitive position. As part of the plan, the Company
opened a new pump large-component manufacturing facility and refocused existing
pump facilities in the United States on engineering, assembly and testing.

Personnel costs in the restructuring plan were primarily related to realigning
various employee groups to support the focused factory concept, including
termination, relocation and training of employees. Machinery relocation,
installation and related costs were principally for moving production equipment
among the various facilities, including installation and bringing such equipment
into full production. Asset disposal and organizational realignment costs
included estimated losses related to the disposal of property, plant and
equipment, and the costs for realigning certain support functions. Additional
activities resulting from the restructure plan included cash expenditures
related to termination benefits for approximately 300 employees, the shutdown of
the Company's Fresno, California, plant and losses related to the disposal of
property, plant and equipment.

The following table summarizes the Company's restructuring reserve during 1994
and 1995:

Credit Agreements
The Company's domestic credit agreement is an unsecured $100.0 million, five-
year facility extending through December 2001. The Company also has a Dutch
credit agreement, available to the Company's Dutch subsidiary, which is a 50
million Dutch Guilder ($28.7 million as of December 31, 1996) unsecured
revolving credit facility of which 35 million Dutch Guilders ($20.1 million as
of December 31, 1996) is restricted to the issuance of letters of credit and
bank guarantees for the benefit of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

At December 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding borrowings under its domestic
and Dutch credit agreements that totaled $34.0 million and letters of credit
totaling $14.3 million, and had $73.6 million available for borrowing
thereunder. In addition, the Company has other uncommitted, unsecured revolving
credit facilities totaling $42.5 million, under which $0.7 million was
outstanding as of December 31, 1996. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had
$23.1 million of obligations relating to Dutch bank guarantees and domestic
performance bonds outstanding.

The provisions of the credit agreements require the Company to maintain
specified financial covenants that are defined in the agreements. The agreements
also contain limitations or restrictions relating to new indebtedness and liens,
disposition of assets and payment of dividends or other distributions.

Senior Notes
In May 1992, the Company issued $50.0 million principal amount of senior notes
to certain institutional investors of which $25.0 million was outstanding at
December 31, 1996. The 1992 Senior Notes bear interest at 7.92% per annum,
payable semiannually, and require annual payments of $8.3 million through May
15, 1999. The 1992 Senior Notes are also subject to optional prepayment by the
Company, upon payment of a "make-whole" premium.

In November 1996, the Company issued $30.0 million principal amount of senior
notes to certain institutional investors. The 1996 Senior Notes bear interest at
7.14% per annum, payable semiannually, and require annual principal payments of
$6.0 million commencing in 2002.

Leases
The Company leases office and service center space, machinery, equipment and
automobiles under non-cancelable operating leases. Rental expense relating to
operating leases was $5.6 million in 1996, $4.7 million in 1995 and $5.2 million
in 1994.

Restriction of Net Assets of Subsidiary
The Company's domestic credit agreement and senior notes restrict the payment of
dividends by BW/IP to BW/IP, Inc. (and thereby limit BW/IP, Inc.'s ability to
pay dividends on its common stock) except in certain specific circumstances or
unless certain financial tests are met. As of December 31, 1996, after giving
effect to dividends declared to date, approximately $48 million is available for
the payment of dividends by BW/IP to BW/IP, Inc. pursuant to its most
restrictive covenants.

Note 6
Stockholders' Equity

Option Plans
In 1996, the stockholders of the Company approved the BW/IP International, Inc.
1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTI Plan"). Under the LTI Plan, the Company
may grant incentive and non-qualified stock options to officers and other key
employees with respect to a maximum of 1,500,000 shares of Company common stock.

Stock options are granted at fair market value of the Company's common stock at
the date of grant, become exercisable for one-third of the options commencing on
the first anniversary of the grant thereof, with an additional one-third
becoming exercisable on each of the two succeeding anniversaries, and expire in
10 years.

Stock options granted in 1995 and 1994 were pursuant to the long-term incentive
plan approved by stockholders in 1992.

Activity under the LTI Plan for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, is as follows:

There are no charges to income in connection with the issuance of options.

For income per share purposes, the options are considered common stock
equivalents; however, they are anti-dilutive and are therefore not included in
the calculation of earnings per share.

During 1993, the stockholders approved the Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option
Plan, which provides for the granting of up to 125,000 stock options. Options
vest after one year of service on the Board of Directors and are exercisable for
10 years. Options granted in 1996, 1995 and 1994 totaled 21,600, 15,000 and
10,000, respectively, and were at fair market value.

Had compensation cost for the Company's option plans been determined based on
the fair value at the grant dates, as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income and
net income per share would have been as follows:

</TABLE>

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes method with the following assumptions used for grants during the
applicable period: dividend yield of 2.6% for both periods; risk-free interest
rate of 5.5% in 1996 and 6.9% in 1995; and a weighted average expected option
term of 4 years for both periods.

Because the determination of the fair value of all options granted includes an
expected volatility factor in addition to the factors described in the preceding
paragraph and, because additional option grants are expected to be made each
year, the above pro forma disclosures are not representative of pro forma
effects of reported net income for future years.

Purchase Rights Plan
On July 27, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Preferred Stock
Purchase Rights Plan (the "Plan") and declared a dividend of one Preferred Stock
Purchase Right (a "Right") on each share of the Company's common stock. The
dividend distribution was made on August 10, 1993, to the stockholders of record
on July 26, 1993.

The Plan provides that if there is an announcement or notice to the Company that
a person or group has acquired 15% or more of the Company's common stock (except
pursuant to a tender offer for all such shares at a price and on terms
determined to be fair and in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders by a majority of the directors who are not nominees of, or
affiliated or associated with, the 15% holder), each holder of a Right, other
than Rights

<PAGE>
 
beneficially owned by the 15% holder, will thereafter have the right to purchase
for $85.00 a number of shares of the Company's common stock having a market
value of $170.00 or twice the Right's exercise price. All Rights that were
beneficially owned by the 15% holder will thereafter be void.

Each Right will entitle the stockholder to buy one one-hundredth of a share of a
new series of junior participating cumulative preferred stock at an exercise
price of $85.00. The Rights will become exercisable after the earlier to occur
of (i) 10 business days following a public announcement or notice to the Company
that a person or group has acquired 15% or more of the Company's common stock or
(ii) 10 business days, or such later date as the directors determine, after a
person commences a tender offer which, if accepted, would result in the person's
owning 15% or more of the Company's common stock.

The preferred stock is designed so that each one one-hundredth of a share
approximates one share of the Company's common stock in all respects, except for
a minimum annual preferential dividend of $.10 and a minimum liquidation payment
of $.10 for each one one-hundredth of a share of preferred stock.

Under the Rights agreement, the Company will not effect a merger or certain
other kinds of business combination transactions after a public announcement or
notice to the Company that a person or group has acquired 15% or more of the
Company's common stock, unless provision has been made so that after the
transaction a holder of a Right would be able to buy for $85.00 stock of the
acquiring company having a market value of $170.00, or twice the exercise price
of the Right.

The Company's directors can redeem the Rights at $.01 per Right until 10
business days after a public announcement or notice to the Company that a person
or group has acquired 15% or more of the Company's common stock. The redemption
period can be extended by the directors before such an announcement or notice.
If the Board of Directors redeems the Rights after such an announcement or
notice, the redemption requires concurrence of a majority of the continuing
directors who are not nominees of, or affiliated or associated with, the 15%
stockholder. In addition, after a person or group acquires 15% or more (but less
than 50%) of the Company's common stock, the Board of Directors may, with such a
concurrence by the continuing directors, exchange one share of common stock for
each outstanding Right, except for Rights held by the 15% holder, which will
become void.

The Rights, which expire in 10 years, have no voting power.

Note 7
Benefit Plans

Pension Plans
The Company has certain non-contributory, defined benefit pension plans covering
substantially all domestic employees. The union hourly plans base benefits upon
years of service, while the salaried/union-free plan uses both years of service
and earnings to determine benefits. The Company also has a Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan.

It is the Company's policy to fund an amount necessary to satisfy the minimum
funding requirements of ERISA. The amount to be funded is subject to annual
review by management and its consulting actuary. The actuarial method used to
determine the plan liability is the unit credit method. The plans hold their
assets as units in commingled funds consisting principally of high quality
corporate equities and corporate and government bonds.

The Company's Dutch employees are covered by a multi-employer defined benefit
plan. Certain of the Company's other foreign employees are insured under
irrevocable annuity contracts. Pension expense associated with these
arrangements was $1.6 million in 1996, $1.8 million in 1995 and $1.5 million in
1994. The Company also is required to make benefit payments on behalf of certain
employees in foreign countries based upon local laws. Amounts paid are based on
a percentage of salary earned (defined contribution plans) and are not
significant.

Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits
The Company's postretirement benefit program is made up of two plans, the Life
Insurance Plan and the Health Care Plan. Both plans cover domestic employees
only. Any permanent full-time employee is eligible upon retirement after age 55
and with 10 years of service with the Company. The Health Care Plan is a
contributory plan.

An increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate of 1% for each year would
increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by less than $0.1
million and the net service and interest cost components of the net periodic
postretirement benefit expense for the year by less than $0.1 million.

Capital Accumulation Plan
The Company has a Capital Accumulation Plan (the "CAP Plan") qualified under
section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows for participant
contributions and for Company matching contributions. The Company intends to
make all matching contributions in shares of its common stock. Employees
immediately vest in all Company matching contributions. The Company expensed
$1.1 million in 1996, $0.8 million in 1995 and $1.4 million in 1994 under the
CAP Plan.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management, upon the advice of
legal counsel, that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not
materially affect the Company's financial position. As the predecessor to the
Company's business, Borg-Warner agreed to indemnify the Company for
litigation and potential claims identified at May 20, 1987, to the extent such
claims were not provided for at May 20, 1987.

The Company is subject to pollution and hazardous waste disposal regulations in
all jurisdictions in which it has operating facilities and periodically makes
capital expenditures to meet environmental requirements. The Company believes
that future expenditures will not have a material adverse effect on its
financial position. In addition, under the requirements of the Federal
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
("Superfund"), the Company has been named a potentially responsible party
("PRP") at several Superfund sites being administered by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency. Borg-Warner is obligated to indemnify the Company, in whole
or in part, in the event it is held liable as a PRP at these identified sites.
Final resolution of the above matters is not expected to be material to the
Company's financial position.

present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BW/IP, Inc.
and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

Report of Management

The Company's management is responsible for preparation of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. These statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts
that are based on management's best estimates and business judgment. Management
maintains a system of internal controls, which in management's opinion provides
reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions properly
recorded and executed in accordance with management's authorization. The
internal control system is supported by internal audits and is tested and
evaluated by the independent accountants in connection with their annual audit.
The Board of Directors pursues its responsibility for financial information
through an Audit and Finance Committee comprised entirely of independent
Directors. This committee regularly meets not only with management, but also
separately with representatives of the independent accountants and internal
audit.
