                         Report of Independent Auditors


Corporate Benefits Committee
Robbins & Myers, Inc. Employee Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Robbins & Myers,
Inc. Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for
the years then ended, as listed in the table of contents. 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.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets available for plan benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the changes in its assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment for the year ended December 31, 1997 and reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1997, are presented for purposes of
complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are
not a required part of the financial statements. The supplemental schedules have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, an error resulting in an
understatement of previously reported assets and additions to assets available
for plan benefits as of December 31, 1997 was discovered by management of the
Company during the current year. Accordingly, an adjustment has been made to
cash and cash equivalents and transfer of assets as a result of plan merger.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The Plan maintains its accounting records on the accrual basis of accounting.
All assets of the Plan are held by the trustee.

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. The shares of registered
investment companies are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net
asset values of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The units of the Vanguard
Investment Contract Trust are valued at their contract value which approximate
fair value. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at an amount whose cost
approximates market.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on securities represent the
difference between the proceeds received and the average cost of securities
sold. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities represents the
difference between the current value and the cost of the investment and is
reflected in the statements of changes in assets available for plan benefits as
a part of unrealized and realized appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of
investments.

MANAGEMENT'S USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.
Estimates also affect the reported amounts of changes in net assets during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


                                                                               4

2. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The Plan is a defined contribution plan which covers salaried employees of
Robbins & Myers, Inc. (the Company) and its U.S. subsidiaries. Each year,
participants can make contributions of between 1 percent and 12 percent of
pretax annual compensation, as defined by the Plan. The Company contributes a
minimum of 40 percent of an employee's annual contribution and may elect to make
up to an additional 20 percent contribution at year-end. Only the first 6
percent of an employee's annual compensation is eligible for the employer's
match.

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and any earnings on
these contributions. Matching contributions made by the Company become vested as
follows:

                   Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

5. INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service ruled on November 4, 1996 that the Plan qualifies
under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and, therefore, the
related trust is not subject to tax under present income tax law. Once
qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to
maintain its qualification. 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.


6. TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

As of December 31, 1997, the Plan held 321,199 shares of Robbins & Myers, Inc.
common stock in a company stock fund. During 1997, approximately 105,000 shares
were purchased at a cost of $3,418,924.


7. CORRECTION OF AN ERROR

Management has restated previously issued financial statements as of and for the
year ended December 31, 1997. The restatement reflects the correction of an
error as a result of assets associated with the Process Supply, Inc. Profit
Sharing Plan that was merged into the Plan as of December 31, 1997 being
omitted. The result is an increase to cash and cash equivalents of $1,832,003
and an increase in transfer of assets as a result of plan merger of $1,832,003.


8. YEAR 2000 ISSUE (UNAUDITED)

The plan sponsor has developed a plan to modify its internal information
technology to be ready for the Year 2000 and has begun converting critical data
processing systems. The project also includes determining whether third-party
service providers have reasonable plans in place to become Year 2000 compliant.
The plan sponsor currently expects the project to be substantially complete by
early 1999. The plan sponsor does not expect this project to have a significant
effect on plan operations.
