NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued

NOTE D--INCOME TAXES

The estimated annual effective tax rates are 37.0% and 39.7% for 1996 and 1995,
respectively. In 1995, the estimated annual tax rate was increased from the
36.0% rate used in the second quarter, primarily due to increased estimates of
pretax income for the year and the tax effect of the write-off of the
investment in Hazleton Environmental.

NOTE E--ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION                     

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
123, "Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation." The Statement establishes
financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee
compensation plans. Companies may elect to account for such plans under the
fair value method or continue the previous accounting and disclose pro forma
net income and earnings per share as if the fair value method was applied. The
statement is to be applied on a prospective basis beginning in the Company's
fiscal year 1997.

The Company has not yet determined the potential financial statement impact of
the Standard, nor has it decided how or when it will initially adopt the
Standard.

NOTE F--SUBSEQUENT EVENT

At the June 26, 1996, Board of Directors' meeting, the Board approved a 2 for 1
stock split for shareholders of record on July 12, 1996, effected in the form
of a share distribution on July 31,1996. Pro forma earnings and dividend per
share information as if the stock split had been effected in these financial
statements is as follows:

PART I--MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
                                ($ in thousands)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fiscal 1996 and 1995

         Net income of $5.7 million for the third quarter ended May 31, 1996
was 59.8% higher than in the third quarter of 1995. Earnings per share of
$1.03, fully diluted, increased 53.7% from the third quarter of 1995. On a year
to date basis, net income of $14.2 million was 47.7% higher than the prior year
and earnings per share of $2.56, fully diluted, was 43.0% higher than the prior
year. These increases are primarily the result of higher volume and price
increases, as further discussed below.

         Net sales for the third quarter of 1996 were $89.9 million, an
increase of 12.4% over the same period of the prior year. Year to date sales of
$255.3 million were 16.3% higher than the prior year. These increases were
primarily driven by the strong market demand for the Company's mixing
equipment, glass-lined storage and reactor vessels, and oilfield products .
These products are primarily sold to the pharmaceutical, chemical, and
petrochemical markets, which are expected to remain strong at least into the
near future. In addition, the Company expanded its aftermarket business from
the prior year, resulting in increased sales. Company backlog increased to a
record level of $114 million at May 31, 1996 , $2 million higher than February
29, 1996, $9 million higher than August 31, 1995 and $15 million higher than
May 31,1995.

         The gross margin percentage of 33.5% for the third quarter of
1996 (33.3% year to date) was comparable to the 32.7% for the third quarter of
1995 (33.4% year to date). The gross margin percentage has remained relatively
constant despite the higher sales levels in 1996 due to a shift in product mix,
as gross margins for the products with the greatest sales increases, small
industrial mixers and reactor vessels, have lower margins than the Company's
other products. Gross margins for mixers and vessels have improved from the
prior year as a result of the higher volume and profitability improvement
measures implemented.

         Engineering and development, selling and administrative expenses
decreased as a percentage of sales from 23.8% in the third quarter of
1995 (24.3% year to date) to 21.7% in the third quarter 1996 (22.8% year to
date). These decreases resulted from the higher sales volume and the fixed
nature of certain of these expenses as well cost reductions in these areas.

         Interest expense of $1.7 million in the 3 third quarter and $5.3
million year to date, was comparable to the same periods of the prior year. The
effective interest rate was slightly lower and the average debt level for each
period was consistent with the prior year.

         Other (income) deductions for the third quarter of 1995 includes a
one-time write-off of $1.6 million of the Company's investment in Hazleton
Environmental. The Company has no ongoing exposure to further losses related to
this investment.

         The estimated effective annual income tax rate was 37.0% for 1996
compared to 39.7% for 1995. The tax rate for 1995 reflects the effect of the
nondeductibility of a portion of the write-off of the investment in Hazleton
Environmental. The 1996 tax rate is more reflective of ongoing operations.

         In 1995, the Company realized a gain related to the early
extinguishment of certain debt. This gain is reflected as an extraordinary gain
of $1.3 million, net of tax, in the third quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During the first quarter of 1996, 1.85 million of outstanding stock
appreciation rights were retired for $18 million. Also for the nine months, $9
million was used for capital expenditures and $8 million for working capital.
These cash requirements of $35 million were financed through funds generated
from income plus noncash expenses of $24 million and net debt borrowings of $11
million.

PART I--MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES--CONTINUED

          In 1995 the significant uses of cash were capital expenditures and
acquisitions of $17 million and net debt payments of $5 million. Thses
requirements were funded by cash generated from operations of $19 million. The
net result was a decrease of $4.3 million in cash balances for the first nine
months of 1995.

         The Company expects operating cash flow to be adequate for the
remainder of fiscal year 1996's and 1997's operating needs, including scheduled
debt service and shareholder dividend requirements.

         The Company's significant foreign operations have the local currency
as their functional currency. The foreign operations primarily buy and sell
within the same country, mitigating the impact of currency fluctuations on
operations.  To the extent that significant transactions are completed in a
different currency, the Company hedges its risk to future currency fluctuations
through foreign currency forward contracts with major financial institutions.

         At May 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $30 million available
under its current bank credit agreement which management considered adequate to
meet the Company's operating needs.

$38,135,000                                                        Dayton, Ohio 
                                                                  April 3, 1996

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ROBBINS & MYERS, INC., CHEMINEER, INC., PFAUDLER
(UNITED STATES), INC. AND EDLON PRODUCTS, INC. ( the "Borrowers"), jointly and
severally promise to pay to the order of BANK ONE, DAYTON, NA ("Bank") in
lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of THIRTY-EIGHT
MILLION ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND AND NO/100 Dollars ($38,135,000) or
such lesser unpaid principal amount as may be advanced by the Bank pursuant to
the terms of the Credit Agreement and dated as of June 24, 1994, by and among
Borrowers, Bank One, Dayton, NA as Agent, and Bank One Dayton, NA and National
City Bank, Columbus as Banks, as the same may be amended from time to time
(the "Agreement"). The principal balance hereof outstanding from time to time
shall bear interest as set forth in the Agreement.

         The principal amount of each loan made by Bank and the amount of each
prepayment made by the Borrowers shall be recorded by Bank on the schedule
attached hereto or in the regularly maintained data processing records of Bank.
The aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans set forth in such schedule
or in such records shall be presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing
and unpaid on this Note. However, failure by Bank to make any such entry shall
not limit or otherwise affect Borrowers' obligations under this Note or the
Agreement.

         This Note is the Revolving Credit Note referred to in the Agreement,
and is entitled to the benefits, and is subject to the terms, of the Agreement.
The principal of this Note is prepayable in the amounts and under the
circumstances, and its maturity is subject to acceleration upon the terms, set
forth in the Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the
Agreement, if any payment on this Note becomes due and payable on a day other
than one on which Bank is open for business (a "Business Day"), the maturity
thereof shall be extended to the next Business Day, and interest shall be
payable at the rate specified herein during such extension period.

         In no event shall the interest rate on this Note exceed the highest
rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall,
in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that a court
determines that Bank has received interest and other charges under this Note in
excess of the highest permissible rate applicable hereto, such excess shall be
deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce the
amounts due to Bank from the Borrowers under this Note, other than interest,
and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the highest
permissible rate. If there are not such amounts outstanding, Bank shall refund
to Borrowers such excess.

         Presentment for payment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice
of protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery,
performance and enforcement of this Note, are hereby waived by Borrowers.
