                         Report of Independent Auditors

Corporate Benefits Committee
Robbins & Myers, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Robbins & Myers, Inc. Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) as of
December 31, 1995 and August 31, 1995 and the related statements of changes in
net assets available for plan benefits the four months ended December 31, 1995
and for the year ended August 31, 1995. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Board of Directors of
Robbins & Myers, Inc. voted to terminate the Robbins & Myers, Inc. Employee
Savings Plan and merge the investments with the Robbins & Myers, Inc. Savings
Plan for Salaried Employees of Chemineer, Edlon and Pfaudler.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Robbins
& Myers, Inc. Employee Savings Plan at December 31, 1995 and August 31, 1995,
and the changes in its net assets available for plan benefits for the four
months ended December 31, 1995 and for the year ended August 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of
transactions or series of transactions in excess of 5 percent of the current
value of plan assets for the four months ended December 31, 1995 is presented
for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements is as a whole.

                   Robbins & Myers, Inc. Employee Savings Plan


                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1995

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As of December 31, 1995, the total investments in the Robbins & Myers, Inc.
Employee Savings Plan were merged into the investments in the Robbins & Myers,
Inc. Savings Plan for Salaried Employees of Chemineer, Edlon and Pfaudler.

Robbins & Myers, Inc. Employee Savings Plan's (the Plan's) financial statements
are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
the use of management's estimates.

The Plan offers participating employees five different investment options: the
Company Stock Fund, which invests in stock of the Company; the T. Rowe Price
Equity Income Fund, which invests primarily in dividend-paying common stocks of
established companies; the T. Rowe Price New Horizons Fund, which invests
primarily in common stocks of small, rapidly growing companies; the T. Rowe
Price Stable Value Fund, which invests in insurance company guaranteed-insurance
contracts; and the T. Rowe Price United States Treasury Fund, which invests in
United States treasury bills.

The common stock of Robbins & Myers, Inc. (the Company) is valued at closing
market price. Investments in the T. Rowe Price pooled funds (Equity Fund and New
Horizons Fund) are carried at current value as determined by the valuation at
market of net assets applicable to outstanding units of the T. Rowe Price pooled
funds. The T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund and the United States Treasury Fund
(Fixed Income Fund) are valued at cost which approximates market.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Plan is a defined contribution plan. Employees of the Fluids Handling Group
and corporate staff who have completed six months of service are eligible to
participate in the Plan, except: (i) those individuals covered by a collective
bargaining agreement, (ii) leased employees, and (iii) foreign employees who
receive no U.S. service income. Contributions made to the Plan are comprised of
employee and employer contributions. Employees may elect to have up to 12
percent of their compensation deducted and contributed to the Plan. Participants
receive a 40 percent match of their contribution on the first 6 percent of their
compensation. In addition to the matched contribution percentage, an annual
discretionary contribution, based on Company performance, of up to an additional
10 percent of matched contributions may be made.

                                                                               6

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)



2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

Participant contributions can be invested in any of the funds at the option of
the participant. Quarterly, the participants have the opportunity to change
options previously selected. All employer contributions are invested in the
common stock of the Company and are included in the Company Stock Fund.

All expenses incident to the operation and management of the Plan are to be paid
by the Company. The Company has the right to terminate the Plan and to
discontinue contributions without liability. In the event of termination of the
Plan, the assets of the trust are to be allocated based upon the proportionate
interest of each person in the Plan as of the date of termination or
discontinuance.

Participant contributions and related earnings thereon are immediately vested.
Employer contributions become vested at a rate of 20 percent per year and are
fully vested after five full years of continuous service. Forfeitures of
nonvested employer contributions are used to reduce future employer
contributions.

Prior to the December 31, 1995 investment transfer, there were 253 employees
participating in the Plan.

3. INVESTMENTS

The Plan's investments are held by T. Rowe Price Investment Services Company.

The fair value of individual investments that represent 5 percent or more of the
Plan's net assets are as follows:

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

During the four month period ended December 31, 1995, the Plan purchased 21,803
shares for $670,955 and distributed 5,117 shares of Robbins & Myers, Inc. common
stock (31,119 shares purchased for $652,244 and 7,651 shares distributed in
fiscal year ended August 31, 1995).

5. INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan, as amended, qualifies
under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is, therefore, not
subject to tax under present income tax laws. Once qualified, the Plan is
required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification.
During fiscal year 1992, the Plan was amended. A tax ruling or determination
letter involving this amendment has not been obtained. The Corporate Benefits
Committee is not aware of any course of action or series of events that have
occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status.

A participant in the Plan makes contributions from pretax income, which reduces
the amount of a participant's current compensation that would otherwise be in
taxable income for federal income tax purposes. The income accruing to the
participant's account is not subject to federal income tax until the participant
makes a partial or complete withdrawal from the account. Employer contributions
made for the benefit of the participant, as required by the Plan, are not
subject to federal income tax until the participant makes a partial or complete
withdrawal from the account.

The foregoing is only a summary and applies only to federal income taxes. The
law on which the above discussion is based is subject to change at any time.
Employees should consult their own tax advisers concerning the application of
federal taxes, as well as any state or local taxes, applicable to their
particular situations.

                                                                               8
