NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2002
(Unaudited)


Note 1 - Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The
Company believes that all adjustments (which consist of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial
position of the Company at March 31, 2002 and the consolidated results of its
operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and
2001 have been included. Quarterly results of operations are not necessarily
indicative of results for the full year. Quarterly financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes presented
in the Company's 2001 Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

The calculation of basic earnings per share for the three-month periods
ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 are based on the average number of common shares
considered outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share for such
periods reflect the effect of all potentially dilutive securities (primarily
outstanding common stock options). The following table presents the number of
shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings
per share for the periods:

Note 5 - Segment Disclosure

The Company has two reportable business segments, the Electronic
Instruments Group and the Electromechanical Group. The Company organizes its
businesses primarily on the basis of product type, production processes,
distribution methods, and management organizations.

At March 31, 2002, there were no significant changes in identifiable
assets of reportable segments from the amounts disclosed at December 31, 2001,
nor were there any changes in the basis of segmentation, or in the measurement
of segment operating results. Operating information relating to the Company's
reportable segments for the three month period ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 can
be found in the table on page 9 in the Management's Discussion & Analysis
section of this Report.

Note 6 - New Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
SFAS No. 142 no longer permits the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets. Instead, these assets must be tested for impairment at least
annually in accordance with the provisions of the Statement. As of January 1,
2002, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill.

The Company's net income and earnings per share for the three months

</TABLE>

The Company has essentially completed the transitional impairment test
of its goodwill, and will finalize this assessment by the end of the second
quarter of 2002 as provided by the implementation provision of the Statement.
Although the final analysis is being completed, the Company's current valuation
indicates that there is no impairment of its goodwill. During the three months
ended March 31, 2002, changes to goodwill primarily resulted from purchase
accounting adjustments related to recent acquisitions. Goodwill as of March 31,
2002 was allocated by segment as follows: Electronic Instrument Group (EIG) -
$239.9 million; Electromechanical Group (EMG) - $144.8 million.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived
Assets". SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of", and provides a
single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. The adoption of
this Statement had no effect on the Company's consolidated results of
operations, financial position, or cash flows.

========= =========
</TABLE>

Operations for the first quarter of 2002 compared with the first quarter of 2001

Net sales for the first quarter of 2002 were $263.6 million, essentially
unchanged from sales of $264.1 million in the first quarter of 2001. Net sales
for the Electronic Instruments Group (EIG) increased $10.8 million or 8.5% in
the first quarter of 2002, primarily due to the recent acquisitions of
Instruments for Research and Applied Science (IRAS) and EDAX, Inc., as well as
continued strength in the Company's aerospace and power instrument businesses.
Net sales for the Electromechanical Group (EMG) were down $11.3 million or 8.2%
in the first quarter of 2002. Continued adverse market conditions in the global
floor care markets were partially offset by the 2001 acquisition of GS Electric.
Without these recent acquisitions, consolidated sales for the first quarter of
2002 would have been 13.1% lower than the first quarter of 2001.

New orders for the first quarter of 2002 were $263.6 million, down $14.3 million
or 5.2% when compared with the same quarter in 2001. The first quarter of 2001
was an unusually strong quarter for orders within the Company's aerospace and
power instrument businesses. The Company's backlog of unfilled orders at March
31, 2002 was $276.5 million, essentially unchanged from December 31, 2001.

AMETEK, Inc.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Segment operating income for the first quarter 2002 was $41.5 million, an
increase of $0.8 million or 2.0% when compared with the first quarter
2001. Segment operating income as a percentage of sales increased to 15.8%
of sales in the current quarter from 15.4% of sales in the first quarter
of 2001. Higher operating income was primarily driven by the recent
acquisitions and the non-amortization of goodwill in the first quarter of
2002. The Company also is benefiting from its fourth quarter 2001 cost
reduction initiatives.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $27.8 million in the
first quarter of 2002, an increase of $3.7 million or 15.0% when compared
with the first quarter of 2001. Selling expenses as a percentage of sales
increased to 8.7% in the first quarter of 2002 compared with 7.3% in the
first quarter of 2001. Recent acquisitions drove the increase in selling
expenses. General and administrative expenses and selling expenses by base
businesses decreased as a percentage of sales during the period,
reflecting the Company's cost reduction initiatives.

Consolidated operating income totaled $36.4 million, or 13.8% of sales,
compared with $35.7 million, or 13.5% of sales for the first quarter of
2001, an increase of $0.7 million, or 2.0%.

Interest expense was $6.9 million in the first quarter 2002, compared with
$7.7 million for the same quarter of 2001. The $0.8 million decrease in
the first quarter of 2002 was due to lower interest rates partially offset
by higher debt levels compared to the first quarter of 2001.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2002 was 33.0% compared
with 35.4% in the first quarter of 2001. The lower tax rate in 2002
reflects the effect of adopting SFAS No. 142, which resulted in the
elimination of the tax effect of non-deductible goodwill from the
Company's tax provision.

Net income for the first quarter 2002 totaled $19.7 million, an increase
of 7.6% from $18.3 million in the first quarter of 2001. Diluted earnings
per share rose 7.3% to $0.59 per share, compared with $0.55 per share for
the same quarter of 2001. The first quarter of 2001 included goodwill
amortization of $2.3 million after tax, or $0.07 per diluted share.

Segment Results

Electronic Instruments Group ("EIG") sales were $136.8 million in the
first quarter 2002, an increase of $10.8 million or 8.5% from the same
quarter of 2001. The higher sales were due to the recent acquisitions of
IRAS and EDAX, Inc., as well as continued strength in the aerospace and
power instrument businesses. Without these recent acquisitions, EIG's
sales for the first quarter of 2002 would have been 8.0% lower than the
first quarter of 2001.

EIG's operating income for the first quarter of 2002 increased by $2.1
million or 11.2% to $21.0 million when compared with the same quarter of
2001. The increase in operating income was due to the non-amortization of
goodwill in 2002, the sales increase, as well as improved operating
margins resulting from the cost reduction initiatives, noted above. EIG's
pretax goodwill


10
AMETEK, Inc.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

amortization in the first quarter of 2001 amounted to $1.6 million.
Operating margins were 15.3% of sales in the first quarter of 2002
compared with operating margins of 15.0% of sales in the first quarter of
2001.

Electromechanical Group (EMG) sales totaled $126.8 million in the first
quarter of 2002, a decrease of $11.3 million or 8.2% from the same quarter
of 2001. The sales decrease was primarily due to the continued adverse
market conditions in the worldwide floor care markets, partially offset by
the 2001 acquisition of GS Electric. Without the recent acquisition, EMG's
sales for the first quarter of 2002 would have been 17.7% lower than the
first quarter of 2001.

Operating income of EMG was $20.6 million for the first quarter 2002, a
decrease of $1.3 million or 6.0% from the first quarter of 2001. The lower
profits were mainly due to the sales decrease, partially offset by profit
margin improvement, which was the result of the cost reduction
initiatives, noted above. Operating income in 2002 benefited from the
effect of non-amortization of goodwill. EMG's pretax goodwill amortization
in the first quarter of 2001 amounted to $1.1 million. Operating margins
were 16.2% of sales in the first quarter of 2002, compared with operating
margins of 15.9% of sales in the first quarter of 2001.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $9.0 million for the first
quarter of 2002, compared to cash used of $2.9 million (before accounts
receivable securitization transactions) in the first quarter 2001. The
$11.9 million increase in operating cash flow was the result of lower
working capital requirements in the first quarter of 2002, mainly due to
lower inventories. The first quarter of 2001 included a build-up in
inventories associated with the Company's movement of certain products to
low-cost manufacturing facilities, and higher inventory levels in several
businesses that experienced the economic downturn. After tax cash
expenditures in the first quarter of 2002 related to the Company's fourth
quarter 2001 accruals for cost reduction initiatives were on plan, and
totaled $1.4 million. The Company expects to make additional after tax
cash expenditures on these initiatives of approximately $6.0 million for
the remainder of 2002. Net cash provided by operating activities in the
first quarter 2002 totaled $9.0 million, compared to cash used in the
first quarter of 2001 of $0.9 million, after $2.0 million of proceeds from
an accounts receivable securitization agreement.

Cash used for investing activities totaled $5.3 million in the first
quarter 2002, compared with $5.7 million used in the same quarter of 2001.
Additions to property, plant and equipment in the first quarter 2002
totaled $4.1 million, compared with $7.0 million in the same quarter of
2001.


11
AMETEK, Inc.

FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)

Cash used for financing activities in the first quarter of 2002 totaled
$5.5 million, compared with cash provided by financing activities of $6.6
million in the same quarter of 2001. In the first quarter of 2002, net
short-term borrowings decreased by $7.5 million, compared with an increase
of $3.3 million in 2001.

As a result of all of the activities discussed above, the Company's cash
and cash equivalents at March 31, 2002 totaled $12.4 million, compared
with $14.1 million at December 31, 2001. The Company believes it has
sufficient cash-generating capabilities and available credit facilities to
enable it to meet its needs in the foreseeable future.
