ROBBINS & MYERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 1996
(Unaudited)

NOTE A--PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed
financial statements of Robbins & Myers, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Company")
contain all adjustments, consisting of normally recurring items, necessary to
present fairly the financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries as of
November 30, 1996, and August 31, 1996 and the results of their operations for
the three month periods ended November 30, 1996, and November 30, 1995, and
their cash flows for the three month periods ended November 30, 1996, and
November 30, 1995. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

NOTE B--NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share was calculated as disclosed in Exhibit 11. Weighted average
shares were: primary--11,235,678 and fully diluted--13,150,828.

NOTE C--NOTE C LONG-TERM DEBT

On November 26, 1996, the Company entered into a new $150,000,000 senior
revolving credit agreement ("Agreement"), replacing the previous senior term
loan and revolving credit agreement. Facility A of the Agreement is for
$100,000,000 and any amounts outstanding will be due in November 2001. 
Facility B of the Agreement is for $50,000,000 and any borrowings are due
within one year of borrowing, but the due date may be extended with the
approval of the lending institutions. Interest is variable based upon prime or
formulas tied to LIBOR, at the Company's option and is payable at least
quarterly. Except for the pledge of the stock of the Company's U.S.
subsidiaries and the stock of certain of its non U.S. subsidiaries,
indebtedness under the Agreement is unsecured. Indebtedness under the
Agreement is senior to the Company's other long-term agreements.  Certain
restrictive covenants exist including, limitations on cash dividends and
capital expenditures and requirements for interest coverage and leverage
ratios.

On September 23, 1996, the Company completed the sale of $65,000,000 of 6 1/2%
Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2003 ("Notes"). The net proceeds of
approximately $63,000,000 (after underwriters' discount and expenses) were used
to repay term and revolving credit loans under the Company's senior debt
agreements with an average effective interest rate of approximately 8.0%. The 
Notes are not common stock equivalents and do not impact primary net income per
share. If the Notes had been issued at the beginning of 1996, the first quarter
of 1996's fully diluted net income per share would have been the same as
reported.

The following summarizes the Company's debt at November 30, 1996:

</TABLE>

First quarter of fiscal 1997 and 1996

         Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were $93.8 million
compared to $81.2 million, an increase of 15.5% over the same period of the
prior year. This increase in sales was primarily driven by the strong market
conditions for the Company's glass-lined storage and reactor vessel products and
oilfield products. These products are primarily sold to the pharmaceuticals,
specialty chemicals, and oil and gas recovery markets, which are expected to
remain strong at least through fiscal 1997. Backlogs remain at strong
levels--$104.8 million at November 30, 1996.

         The gross margin percentage increased from 33.4% to 34.3% due to higher
sales volume and the continuation of cost reduction programs implemented by the
Company.

         Operating expenses decreased as a percentage of sales from 23.6% to
22.7%. This decrease is the result of the higher sales volume and the fixed
nature of certain of these expenses.

         Interest expense decreased from $1.7 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 to $1.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This was due to
the lower interest rate, by approximately 1%, associated with the convertible
subordinated notes which were issued in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

         The effective tax rate has decreased from 38.5% in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 to 33.0 % in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This decrease is due
to a greater proportion of income before income taxes being generated outside
the U.S. where the effective tax rate is below the U.S. rate.

         Net income increased to $6.5 million, $.53 per share, fully diluted, in
the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $4.1 million, $.36 per share, fully
diluted, in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase is a result of the
higher sales volume, lower interest rates and a lower effective tax rate in
fiscal 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Cash uses in the first quarter of 1997 were $9.7 million and were
funded by net debt borrowings. Primary requirements were working capital and
capital expenditures.

         Cash uses in the first quarter of 1996 were $24.5 million and were also
funded by net debt borrowings. Primary requirements in this quarter were working
capital, capital expenditures and $18.4 million in cash required to retire 3.7
million stock appreciation rights.

         The Company expects operating cash flow to be adequate for the
remainder of fiscal year 1997's operating needs, including scheduled debt 
service and shareholder dividend requirements. Major cash requirements for the
remainder of 1997 are planned capital expenditures of approximately $20.0
million. Capital expenditures are related to additional production capacity,
cost reductions and replacement items.

         The Company's significant foreign operations have the local currency as
their functional currency. The non U.S. operations primarily buy and sell within
the same country which mitigates 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.
Currency translation rate changes had an immaterial effect on the first quarter
of fiscal 1997 and 1996.

         At November 30, 1996, the Company had approximately $120.0 million
available under its current bank credit agreements which management believes is
adequate to meet its needs, including any acquisitions. The Company's senior
revolving credit agreement includes certain restrictive covenants, including
limitations on cash dividends and capital expenditures and requirements for
interest coverage and leverage ratios.
