In February 1999, the Company recorded a charge of $4,200,000 for the closure
and relocation of the Company's Fairfield, California, manufacturing operations.
The $4,200,000 charge was composed of $1,800,000 for asset write-downs and
holding costs of land, buildings, and equipment to be sold, and $2,400,000 for
environmental, employee and other costs. The facility manufactured power
sections and

NOTE 3--OTHER EXPENSE (CONTINUED)
down-hole pumps. Production was transferred to the Company's manufacturing
facility near Houston, Texas, which manufactures similar products. The closure
and relocation consolidated all power section and down-hole pump manufacturing
into one facility. The transfer of manufacturing is substantially completed, and
the Fairfield facility and certain machinery are being sold. It is expected that
the sale of the facility will be completed by December 31, 2000. The assets to
be sold have been written down to their estimated net realizable value upon
sale. As of February 29, 2000 approximately $770,000 has been spent against the
$2,400,000 accrued for environmental, employee and other costs.
The fiscal year 2000 costs are for employee transfers, equipment relocation and
training of new employees at the Texas facility.
The Company also recorded other one-time termination costs of $400,000 in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999, unrelated to the closure of the Fairfield
facility. As of February 29, 2000, these one-time termination costs have been
paid.
NOTE 4--LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company's Bank Credit Agreement ("Agreement") provides, among other things,
that the Company may borrow on a revolving credit basis up to a maximum of
$200,000,000. All outstanding amounts under the Agreement are due and payable on
November 25, 2002. Interest is variable based upon formulas tied to LIBOR or
prime, at the Company's option, and is payable at least quarterly. At February
29, 2000, the weighted average interest rate for all amounts outstanding was
4.25%. Indebtedness under the Agreement is unsecured, except for guarantees by
the Company's U.S. subsidiaries, the pledge of the stock of the Company's U.S.
subsidiaries and the pledge of the stock of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries.
The $100,000,000 Senior Notes were issued in two series, Series A in the
principal amount of $70,000,000 has an interest rate of 6.76% and are due May 1,
2008 and Series B in the principal amount of $30,000,000 has an interest rate
6.84% and are due May 1, 2010. Interest is payable semi-annually on May 1 and
November 1.
The above agreements have certain restrictive covenants including limitations on
cash dividends, treasury stock purchases and capital expenditures and minimum
requirements for interest coverage and leverage ratios.
The Company has $62,735,000 of 6.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes
("Subordinated Notes"). The Subordinated Notes are due on September 1, 2003,
interest is payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 and are convertible
into common stock at a rate of $27.25 per share. Holders may convert at any time
until maturity and the Company may call for redemption at any time on or after
September 1, 1999, at a price ranging from the current price of 103.25% to 100%
in fiscal 2003 and thereafter. The Subordinated Notes are subordinated to all

The Company acquired a controlling interest in Universal Glasteel Equipment
("UGE") in December 1998, Chemineer de Mexico in June 1999 and GMM Pfaudler
Limited ("GMM") in July 1999 ("Acquired Businesses"). The Company owned minority
portions of UGE and GMM in fiscal 1999 and their results were recorded on the
equity method. The Acquired Businesses are consolidated in fiscal 2000. The
Acquired Businesses are all in the Company's Process Systems segment.
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 were $95.8 million compared to
$94.9 million, an increase of $.9 million or .9% from the same period of the
prior year. Year to date sales of $189.3 million decreased $3.9 million or 2.0%
from the same period of the prior year. The decreases in pro-forma sales from
the same period of the prior year, assuming the Acquired Businesses were
acquired at the beginning of fiscal 1999, were $2.4 million or 2.4% for the
quarter and $11.8 million or 5.9% year to date.

<PAGE> 9
The Process Systems segment had sales of $75.4 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000 compared to $79.7 million in fiscal 1999. Year to date sales of
$151.2 million decreased $9.8 million or 6.1% from the same period of the prior
year. On a pro forma basis, the Process Systems segment year to date sales
decreased by $17.6 million, a 10.4% decrease. This decrease was primarily driven
by competitive pressures resulting from the strength of the United States and
United Kingdoms currencies and modest market demand in the specialty chemical
market. Capital spending in this market was low as operating rates and
profitability levels have been low. Incoming orders in this segment improved in
the first half of fiscal 2000 to $166.9 million compared to $162.9 million in
the first half of fiscal 1999, and $151.6 million in the second half of fiscal
1999. The improved orders are attributable to continued strength in the
pharmaceutical market and some improvement in the wastewater treatment and
specialty chemical markets. Backlog in this segment increased to $86 million at
the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from $71 million at August 31,
1999.
The Energy Systems segment had sales of $20.4 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000 compared to $15.2 million in fiscal 1999, an increase of 34.5%. This
increase reflects the impact of higher crude oil prices. This increase in oil
prices has spurred an increase in exploration and production activities.
Incoming orders in this segment improved to $43.3 million in the first half of
fiscal 2000, compared to $31.9 million in the first half of fiscal 1999, and
$33.0 million in the second half of fiscal 1999. Backlog increased to $9 million
at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from $3 million at August 31,
1999.
The gross margin percentage increased from 33.4% to 35.3% for the quarter and
from 33.7% to 34.5% year to date from the prior year periods. These increases
are due to the higher sales volumes in the Energy Systems segment, which has
higher margin products, and cost savings from the closure of the Company's
Fairfield facility. Operating expenses in the second quarter increased from
22.5% to 23.4% or $1.0 million due to adjustments in variable pay expenses. Year
to date operating expenses have been reduced; however, the decrease in sales has
caused operating expenses as a percent of sales to increase slightly to 22.9%
from 22.6%.
As a result of cost savings from reduced employment levels and severance actions
in 1999, the IBIT before amortization and other as a percentage of net sales in
the Process Systems segment was 12.6% for the second quarters of fiscal 2000 and
1999 on a sales decline of $4.3 million, or 5.4%. The year to date IBIT before
amortization and other in the Process Systems segment decreased slightly from
13.1% in fiscal 1999 to 13.0% in fiscal 2000 on a sales decline of $9.8 million
or 6.1%.
In the Energy Systems segment, the IBIT before amortization and other increased
from 9.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 to 18.0% in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000. The year to date increase in IBIT before amortization and other is
from 11.5% in fiscal 1999 to 17.0% in fiscal 2000. These increases are due to
increased sales volumes and the cost savings from the closure of the Company's
Fairfield facility.
Other expense decreased by $4.4 million for the quarter and $3.9 million year to
date from the prior year periods due to $4.6 million of plant closure and other
termination costs primarily related to the closure and transfer of operations of
the Fairfield, CA, manufacturing plant. Other expense in 1999 was also presented
net of equity income of $.1 million and $.5 million for the second quarter and
year to date, respectively. The equity income related to UGE and GMM, which are
now consolidated.
Interest expense is slightly lower for the quarter and on a year to date basis
as cash flow from operations has been used to reduce average debt levels from
the prior year.
The effective tax rate is 36.0% for second quarter and year to date fiscal 2000
compared to 34% for second quarter and year to date fiscal 1999. The increase is
from a higher proportion of taxable income in higher tax rate countries and some
tax carryforward benefits utilized outside the U.S in fiscal 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash uses in the first six months of fiscal 2000 were $9.1 million for capital
expenditures, and $3.2 million to purchase Company stock and Convertible
Subordinated Notes under the fiscal 2000 share buyback program . Cash generated
from operations of $13.6 million funded these cash uses and also was used to
reduce debt by $.3 million.
Cash uses in the first six months of fiscal 1999 were $6.4 million for a loan to
UPE, the Company's partner in the UGE joint venture, $3.4 million to purchase
treasury stock under the Company's stock buy back program and $5.0 million for
capital expenditures. Cash generated from operations of $20.6 million funded
these cash uses and also was used to reduce debt by $3.7 million.
The Company expects operating cash flow to be adequate for the remainder of
fiscal year 2000 operating needs, scheduled debt service, shareholder dividends
and other requirements. The major cash requirement for the remainder of fiscal
2000 is planned capital expenditures of approximately $11.3 million. Capital
expenditures are related to additional production capacity, cost reductions and
replacement items.
The Company started a twelve month program in October 1999 to purchase up to 3%,
or about 350,000 shares or share equivalents in Convertible Subordinated Notes.
As of February 29, 2000, the Company has purchased 69,700 shares for $1.2
million and $2.3 million face value of Convertible Subordinated Notes (83,119
equivalent shares) for $2.0 million.
MARKET RISK
In its normal operations the Company has market risk exposure to foreign
currency exchange rates and interest rates. There has been no significant change

any problems at any of its units.
