NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim periods, do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Dover Corporation (“Dover” or the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, which provides a more complete understanding of Dover’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business properties and other matters. It is the opinion of management that these financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim results. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.

The Company has revised its 2005 statement of cash flows to separately disclose the operating and investing portions of the cash flows attributable to discontinued operations. These amounts were previously reported on a combined basis.

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”).

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

2. New Accounting Pronouncement — Stock-Based Compensation

2005 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan

On April 20, 2004, the stockholders approved the Dover Corporation 2005 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) to replace the 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan and 1995 Cash Performance Program (the “1995 Plan”). Under the 2005 Plan, a maximum aggregate of 20 million shares are reserved for grants (non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock settled appreciation rights (“SSARs”), and restricted stock) to key personnel between February 1, 2005 and January 31, 2015, provided that no incentive stock options shall be granted under the plan after February 11, 2014 and a maximum of one million shares may be granted as restricted stock. The exercise price of options and SSARs may not be less than the fair market value of the stock at the time the awards are granted. The period during which these options and SSARs are exercisable is fixed by the Company’s Compensation Committee at the time of grant, but generally may not commence sooner than three years after the date of grant, and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. All stock options or SSARs that have been issued under the 1995 Plan or the 2005 Plan vest after three years of service and expire at the end of ten years. All stock options and SSARs are granted at regularly scheduled quarterly Compensation Committee meetings (usually only at the meeting during the first quarter) and have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Dover stock on that day. New common shares are issued when options or SSARs are exercised.

In the first quarter of 2006, the Company issued 1,886,989 SSARs under the 2005 Plan. No SSARs were issued in the third quarter of 2006. No stock options were issued in 2006 and the Company does not anticipate issuing stock options in the future.

New Accounting Pronouncement – SFAS No. 123(R)

Prior to January 1, 2006, Dover accounted for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”) and followed the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). Accordingly, compensation expense was not recognized in the Company’s 2005 Statement of Operations in connection with stock options granted to employees.

Effective January, 1 2006, Dover adopted SFAS No. 123(R) which no longer permits the use of the intrinsic value method under APB No. 25. The Company used the modified prospective method to adopt SFAS No. 123(R), which requires compensation expense to be recorded for all stock–based compensation granted on or after January 1, 2006, as well as the unvested portion of previously granted options. The Company is recording the compensation expense on a straight-line basis, generally over the explicit service period of three years (except for retirement eligible employees and retirees). Prior to adoption, the Company calculated its pro-forma footnote disclosure related

4 of 26

DOVER CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)
(unaudited)

to stock-based compensation using the explicit service period for all employees, and will continue to vest those awards over their explicit service period. Concurrent with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company changed its accounting policy for awards granted after January 1, 2006 to immediately expense awards granted to retirement eligible employees and to shorten the vesting period for any employee who will become eligible to retire within the three-year explicit service period. Expense for these employees will be recorded over the period from the date of grant through the date the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service.

The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and basic and diluted earnings per share if the Company had recognized compensation expense for stock options granted in prior years. The 2005 pro forma amounts in this table were based on the explicit service periods (three years) of the options granted without consideration of retirement eligibility:

(A)		Had the Company applied the new accounting treatment for retirement eligible employees to grants made prior to 2006, stock-based compensation expense, net of tax benefits, would have been $4.2 million in the third quarter of 2005 and $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

The following table illustrates the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) had on the Company’s results and cash flows:

Dover is continuing to evaluate the initial purchase price allocations of certain acquisitions and will adjust the allocations as additional information relative to the fair values of the assets and liabilities of the businesses becomes known. The Company is also in the process of obtaining or finalizing appraisals of tangible and intangible assets for certain acquisitions. Accordingly, management has used their best estimate in the initial purchase price allocation as of the date of these financial statements. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed as of the dates of the 2006 acquisitions and the amounts assigned to goodwill and intangible asset classifications.

7. Discontinued Operations

2006

During the third quarter of 2006 the Company finalized the sales of four previously discontinued businesses. As a result of the gains on the sales ($27.2 million net of tax) and adjustments to the carrying value of other previously discontinued businesses ($21.6 million net of tax), the Company recorded a $5.6 million gain, net of tax.

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company discontinued five businesses in the Technologies segment, one business in the Industries segment and one business in the Electronics segment. As a result, the Company recorded a $106.5 million write-down ($87.9 million after-tax) of the carrying values of these businesses to their estimated fair market value.

During the first quarter of 2006, Dover completed the sale of Tranter PHE, a business discontinued in the Diversified segment in the fourth quarter of 2005, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $109.0 million ($85.5 million after-tax). In addition, during the first quarter of 2006, the Company discontinued and sold a business in the Electronics segment for a loss of $2.5 million ($2.2 million after-tax). Also, during the first quarter of 2006, the Company discontinued an operating company, comprised of two businesses in the Resources segment, resulting in an impairment of approximately $15.4 million ($14.4 million after-tax).

2005

On August 11, 2005, Dover sold Somero Enterprises, a business in the Industries segment, resulting in a gain of approximately $31.8 million ($22.0 million after-tax). Also, during the third quarter of 2005, the company discontinued a business in the Systems segment, resulting in a goodwill impairment of approximately $55.0 million.

During the second quarter of 2005, the Company discontinued and sold Hydratight Sweeney for a gain of approximately $49.4 million ($46.9 million after-tax). During the first quarter of 2005, Dover discontinued a business in the Industries segment, resulting in a $2.2 million loss, net of tax.

At September 30, 2006, the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations primarily represent amounts related to five of the seven companies discontinued in the second quarter and two previously discontinued businesses in the Systems and Resources segments. Additional detail related to the assets and liabilities of the Company’s discontinued operations is as follows:


	At September 30,		At December 31,

Long-term liabilities		26,584		47,558

	$	193,019	$	204,360

In addition to the assets and liabilities of the entities currently held for sale in discontinued operations, the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations include residual amounts related to businesses previously sold. These residual amounts include property, plant and equipment, deferred tax assets, and accruals.

8. Debt

During the third quarter of 2006, the Company closed a structured five-year $175 million amortizing loan with a non-US lender. The loan agreement includes a put and call provision that can be exercised starting in June of 2008 though the end of the loan term.

Dover’s long-term notes with a book value of $1,523.5 million, of which $32.3 million matures in the current year, had a fair value of approximately $1,529.3 million at September 30, 2006. The estimated fair value of the long-term notes is based on quoted market prices for similar issues.

There are presently two interest rate swap agreements outstanding for a total notional amount of $100.0 million, designated as fair value hedges on part of the Company’s $150.0 million 6.25% Notes due on June 1, 2008. One $50 million interest rate swap exchanges fixed-rate interest for variable-rate interest. The other $50 million swap is designated in foreign currency and exchanges fixed-rate interest for variable-rate interest, and also hedges a portion of the Company’s net investment in foreign operations. The swap agreements have reduced the effective interest rate on the notes to 5.71%. There is no hedge ineffectiveness. The fair value of the interest rate swaps outstanding as of September 30, 2006 was determined through market quotation.

9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

A few of the Company’s subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings relating to the cleanup of waste disposal sites identified under federal and state statutes which provide for the allocation of such costs among “potentially responsible parties.” In each instance, the extent of the liability of the Company or its subsidiaries appears to be

11 of 26

DOVER CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)

very small in relation to the total projected expenditures and the number of other “potentially responsible parties” involved and is anticipated to be immaterial to the Company. In addition, a few of the Company’s subsidiaries are involved in ongoing remedial activities at certain current and former plant sites, in cooperation with regulatory agencies, and appropriate reserves have been established.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are also parties to a number of other legal proceedings incidental to their businesses. These proceedings primarily involve claims by private parties alleging injury arising out of use of the products of Dover companies, exposure to hazardous substances, patent infringement, litigation and administrative proceedings involving employment matters and commercial disputes. Management and legal counsel periodically review the probable outcome of such proceedings, the costs and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred, the availability and extent of insurance coverage, and established reserves. While it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of these legal actions or any need for additional reserves, in the opinion of management, based on these reviews, it is very unlikely that the disposition of the lawsuits and the other matters mentioned above will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, cash flows or competitive position of the Company.

13. New Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) the issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (“SFAS No. 158”). SFAS No. 158 requires companies to report the funded status of their defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on their balance sheets as a net liability or asset as of December 31,

13 of 26

DOVER CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)

2006. The new standard does not address the accounting treatment for pension and postretirement benefits in the income statement. Based on current estimates, upon adoption, Dover is expected to record a net reduction to stockholder’s equity of approximately $123.3 million, net of tax, as of December 31, 2006. This adjustment will have no impact on the Company’s debt covenants.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 is effective as of the end of Dover’s 2006 fiscal year, allowing a one-time transitional cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2006 for errors that were not previously deemed material, but are material under the guidance in SAB 108. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB 108 on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007 and does not require any new fair value measurements. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have an impact on its overall results of operations or financial position.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The Interpretation clarifies the way companies are to account for uncertainty in income tax reporting and filing and prescribes a consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute for recognizing, derecognizing, and measuring the tax benefits of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, on a tax return. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, although early adoption is possible. The Company does not plan to adopt early and is currently in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of the Interpretation will have on its 2007 financial statements.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS 154”), which replaces APB No. 20 “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS No. 3 “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle, and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles, as well as changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that it does not include specific transition provisions. Specifically, SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 does not change the transition provisions of any existing pronouncement. SFAS 154 is effective for Dover for all accounting changes and corrections of errors made beginning January 1, 2006 and had no impact on Dover.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (R), which revises previously issued SFAS 123, supersedes APB No. 25, and amends SFAS Statement No. 95 “Statement of Cash Flows.” Effective January 1, 2006, Dover adopted SFAS No. 123(R). See Note 2 for additional information related to the Company’s adoption of this standard.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, An Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 requires that abnormal amounts of idle capacity and spoilage costs be excluded from the cost of inventory and expensed when incurred. The provisions of SFAS 151 were applicable to inventory costs incurred beginning January 1, 2006. The effect of the adoption of SFAS 151 was immaterial to Dover’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Dover Corporation (“Dover” or the “Company”) is a diversified multinational manufacturing corporation comprised of approximately 40 separate operating companies that provide a broad range of specialized industrial products and components, including related services and consumables. Dover’s operating companies are based primarily in the United States of America and Europe with manufacturing and other operations throughout the world. Dover reports its operating companies’ results in six reportable segments and discusses its operations in 13 groups.

(1) FINANCIAL CONDITION:

Management assesses Dover’s liquidity in terms of its ability to generate cash and access to capital markets to fund its operating, investing and financing activities. Significant factors affecting liquidity are: cash flows generated from operating activities, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dispositions, dividends, adequacy of commercial paper and available bank lines of credit, and the ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms. The Company generates substantial cash from operations and remains in a strong financial position, with enough liquidity available for reinvestment in existing businesses and strategic acquisitions while managing its capital structure on a short and long-term basis.

Cash and cash equivalents of $339.2 million at September 30, 2006 increased from the December 31, 2005 balance of $185.9 million. Cash and cash equivalents were invested in highly liquid investment grade money market instruments with a maturity of 90 days or less.

The following table is derived from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
Cash Flows from Continuing Operations (in thousands)	2006			2005
Cash Flows Provided By (Used In):
Operating activities	$	592,446		$	327,163
Investing activities		(365,803	)		(1,015,249	)
Financing activities		(84,641	)		649,564

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2006 increased $265.3 million over the prior year period, primarily reflecting higher earnings from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization, an increase in deferred compensation and lower tax payments.

The cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2006 was $365.8 million compared to a use of $1,015.2 million in the prior year period, largely reflecting higher acquisition spending in the 2005 period and higher proceeds received from sales of discontinued businesses in the 2006 period. Capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2006 increased to $137.6 million as compared to $88.2 million in the prior year period primarily due to investments in plant expansions, plant machinery and information technology systems to support higher sales and market demand. Acquisition spending was $511.4 million during the first nine months of 2006 compared to $1,077.4 million in the prior year period. Proceeds from the sale of discontinued businesses in the first nine months of 2006 were $274.2 million compared to $142.9 million in the 2005 period. The Company currently anticipates that any additional acquisitions made during 2006 will be funded from available cash and internally generated funds and, if necessary, through the issuance of commercial paper, use of established lines of credit or public debt markets.

Cash used in financing activities for the first nine months of 2006 totaled $84.6 million as compared to cash provided of $649.6 million during the comparable period last year. The net change in financing activity during the

15 of 26

first nine months of 2006 primarily reflected increased borrowings in 2005 to fund acquisitions, partially offset by higher proceeds received for the exercise of stock options in 2006. Also, during the third quarter of 2006, the Company purchased 100,000 shares of common stock in the open market at an average price of $45.91. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company purchased a total of 900,000 shares of common stock in the open market at an average price of $47.12.

“Adjusted Working Capital” (calculated as accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable) increased from the prior year end by $243.6 million or 22% to $1,346.1 million, which reflected increases in receivables of $181.0 million and increases in inventory of $134.6 million, partially offset by an increase in payables of $72.0 million. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency, working capital would have increased by $178.4 million or 16%. Average Adjusted Working Capital as a percentage of trailing twelve month revenue was 19.3% at September 30, 2006 compared to 20.8% at December 31, 2005, as the Company continues to focus on working capital management.

In addition to measuring its cash flow generation and usage based upon the operating, investing and financing classifications included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company also measures free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure). Management believes that free cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it provides both management and investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available to fund acquisitions, pay dividends, repay debt and repurchase Dover’s common stock. Dover’s free cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased $215.9 million compared to the prior year period. The increase reflected higher earnings from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization, and lower tax payments offset by higher capital expenditures.

The following table is a reconciliation of free cash flow with cash flows from operating activities:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
Free Cash Flow (in thousands)	2006			2005
Cash flow provided by operating activities	$	592,446		$	327,163
Less: Capital expenditures		(137,559	)		(88,220	)

Free cash flow	$	454,887		$	238,943


Free cash flow as a percentage of revenue		9.5	%		6.1	%

The Company utilizes total debt and net debt-to-total-capitalization calculations to assess its overall financial leverage and capacity and believes the calculations are useful to investors for the same reason. The following table provides a reconciliation of total debt and net debt to total capitalization to the most directly comparable GAAP measures:


	At September 30,			At December 31,
Net Debt to Total Capitalization Ratio (in thousands)	2006			2005
Current maturities of long-term debt	$	32,291		$	1,201
Commercial paper and other short-term debt		19,069			192,961
Long-term debt		1,491,203			1,344,173

Total debt		1,542,563			1,538,335
Less: Cash and cash equivalents		339,173			185,939

Net debt		1,203,390			1,352,396

Add: Stockholders’ equity		3,796,373			3,329,523

Total capitalization	$	4,999,763		$	4,681,919

Net debt to total capitalization		24.1	%		28.9	%

The total debt level of $1,542.6 million at September 30, 2006 increased $4.2 million or under 1%, from December 31, 2005, as cash from operations and cash proceeds generated from the sales of discontinued businesses has primarily been used to fund current year acquisitions. The net debt decrease of $149.0 million was primarily a result of the increase in cash flow from operations.

Dover’s long-term notes with a book value of $1,523.5 million, of which $32.3 million matures in less than one year, had a fair value of approximately $1,529.3 million at September 30, 2006. The estimated fair value of the long-term notes is based on quoted market prices for similar issues.

There are presently two interest rate swap agreements outstanding for a total notional amount of $100.0 million, designated as fair value hedges on part of the Company’s $150.0 million 6.25% Notes due on June 1, 2008. One $50 million interest rate swap exchanges fixed-rate interest for variable-rate interest. The other $50 million swap is designated in foreign currency and exchanges fixed-rate interest for variable-rate interest, and also hedges a portion of the Company’s net investment in foreign operations. The swap agreements have reduced the effective interest rate on the notes to 5.71%. There is no hedge ineffectiveness, and the fair value of the interest rate swaps outstanding as of September 30, 2006 was determined through market quotation.

During the third quarter of 2006, the Company closed a structured five-year $175 million amortizing loan with a non-US lender. The loan agreement includes a put and call provision that can be exercised starting in June of 2008 though the end of the loan term.

Assuming all businesses currently remaining in discontinued operations are sold by the end of 2006, the Company anticipates receiving after-tax proceeds from the sales of approximately $200 million.

(2) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue for the third quarter of 2006 increased 21.1% to $1,651.9 million from the comparable 2005 period, driven principally by increases at Electronics, Technologies, Resources, and Systems. Acquisitions completed subsequent to the third quarter of 2005 contributed $119.9 million, or 7.3%, to consolidated revenue during the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Foreign currency translation rates contributed 1.3% to revenue growth for the quarter. Gross profit increased 20.6% to $581.4 million from the prior year quarter while the gross profit margin remained essentially the same at 35%.

Revenue for the first nine months of 2006 increased 22.7% to $4,813.6 million from the comparable 2005 period, primarily driven by increases at Electronics, Technologies, Systems, and Resources. Acquisitions completed subsequent to the third quarter of 2005 contributed $266.6 million, or 5.5%, to consolidated revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Foreign currency translation rates had a negligible impact on revenue growth for the nine-month period. Gross profit increased 26.3% to $1,746.2 million from the prior year period while the gross profit margin improved to 36.3% from 35.2%. Overall, segment operating margins were 14.5% and 15.2% for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared to 14.3% and 13.6%, respectively, in the comparable periods last year.

Selling and administrative expenses of $355.3 million for the third quarter of 2006 increased $54.3 million over the comparable 2005 period, primarily due to increased revenue activity and $6.4 million of equity compensation expense related to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123(R) (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), which requires companies to expense the fair value of equity compensation, such as stock options and stock settled appreciation rights (“SSARs”), primarily over the related vesting period. In the past, the pro forma compensation expense related to options and SSARs was only disclosed in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The Company used the modified prospective method to adopt SFAS No. 123(R), which does not require the restatement of prior periods. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 21.5% from 22.1% in the comparable 2005 period. Excluding the effect of SFAS No. 123(R), selling and administrative expenses during the third quarter of 2006 would have been $348.9 million or 21.1% of revenue.

Selling and administrative expenses of $1,059.1 million for the first nine months of 2006 increased $158.8 million over the comparable 2005 period, mainly due to increased revenue activity and $20.3 million of equity compensation expense. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 22.0% from 23.0% in the comparable 2005 period. Excluding the effect of SFAS No. 123(R), selling and administrative expenses for the first nine months of 2006 would have been $1,038.8 million or 21.6% of revenue.

Interest expense, net, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 increased $0.9 million and $10.3 million, respectively, due to increased borrowings during 2005 to fund acquisitions. Other expense (income), net, of $2.6

17 of 26

million and $9.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, primarily related to the effects of foreign exchange fluctuations on assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the company’s functional currency.

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was 24.2%, compared to the prior year rate of 25.8%. The rate for the third quarter of 2006 decreased from the comparable 2005 rate and the second quarter 2006 rate of 29.5% due to the inclusion of a $7.8 million net benefit primarily related to the resolution of a state income tax issue and a relative increase in world-wide earnings in lower tax rate jurisdictions. The tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2005, includes a $9.7 million provision related to the planned repatriation of approximately $290 million of dividends and a $21.9 million benefit primarily related to the conclusion of several federal and state income tax issues.

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was 28.0%, compared to the prior year rate of 27.0%. The rate increase for the nine-month period is due to a lower relative United States federal tax exclusion in 2006, the expiration of the United States federal research and development tax credit for the 2006 period and a prior year benefit from conclusion of several federal and state income tax issues, offset by a lower effective non-U.S. tax rate.

Earnings from continuing operations for the quarter increased 27.0% to $156.3 million or $0.76 EPS compared to $123.0 million or $0.60 EPS in the prior year third quarter. The increase was primarily a result of improvements at Electronics, Resources, Technologies, and Industries. Excluding the impact of SFAS No. 123(R), earnings from continuing operations for the quarter were $160.4 million or $0.78 EPS, an increase of 30.4% over the prior year third quarter.

Earnings from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased 37.7% to $446.3 million or $2.17 EPS compared to $324.1 million or $1.59 EPS in the prior year period. The increase was led by Technologies, Electronics, and Resources with positive contributions from the other segments. Excluding the impact of SFAS No. 123(R), earnings from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $459.5 million or $2.24 EPS, an increase of 42% over the prior year period.

Earnings from discontinued operations for third quarter 2006 was $11.2 million or $0.05 EPS compared to a net loss of $0.4 million and no EPS impact in the comparable 2005 quarter. The earnings included a $27.2 million net of tax gain from the sales of four previously discontinued businesses, a $21.6 million net of tax write-down to adjust the carrying value of other previously discontinued businesses and earnings from the operations of discontinued businesses of $5.6 million net of tax.

Diversified’s revenue increase over the prior year third quarter was driven by growth in the Process Equipment group. Operating margin decreased 80 basis points as the impact of the revenue growth was offset by lower margin aerospace service revenue, the cost of productivity initiatives, and rising material costs. Backlog reached a record high on an 11% increase in bookings for the quarter. Excluding the impact of SFAS No. 123(R), earnings were $23.6 million and operating margin was 12.0%.

Industrial Equipment revenue was up 2% over the prior year quarter, mainly due to the commercial aerospace market. Earnings decreased 17%, as the leverage on increased revenue was offset by lower margin aerospace service revenue, rising material costs and the cost of productivity initiatives. Bookings increased 5% and backlog increased 7% over the prior year quarter.

Process Equipment group’s revenue increased 15% over the prior year third quarter due to robust heat exchanger and energy markets. Higher volume, pricing and improved productivity offset by weak demand for print control systems contributed to the 19% earnings growth over the prior year third quarter. Bookings and backlog increased 20% and 36%, respectively, when compared to the prior year quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the increase in Diversified revenue and earnings reflected improvements in Process Equipment.

Backlog											169,151			93,459			81	%

The increase in revenue and earnings at Electronics compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to the 2005 acquisitions of Knowles Electronics and Colder Products, which occurred during the 2005 third quarter, and significant organic revenue growth of 29%. The earnings improvement resulted from positive leverage, synergy capture, acquisitions and the recovery from the prior year impact of the Hurricane Katrina disruption. Excluding the impact of SFAS No. 123(R), earnings were $32.4 million and operating margin was 14.4%.

Components operating earnings increased 356% compared to the prior year quarter, on a revenue increase of 126%, as a result of the Knowles and Colder acquisitions and organic growth in all other Components businesses. The growth reflects strong demand from telecom and defense markets. Acquisitions accounted for 91% and 234% of the revenue and earnings growth, respectively. Bookings and backlog increased 132% and 94%, respectively, when compared to the prior year quarter.

Commercial equipment revenue increased 33% while earnings increased nearly 10 times when compared to the prior year quarter, primarily as a result of improvement in the ATM business, which was severely disrupted in the

19 of 26

third quarter of 2005 due to Hurricane Katrina. Bookings increased 12%, while backlog decreased 28%, when compared to the prior year third quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the increase in Electronics revenue and earnings primarily reflects the impact of the acquisitions, which contributed to Components revenue, earnings and bookings increases of 117%, 388% and 125%, respectively. Commercial equipment revenue and earnings increased 13% and 11%, respectively, compared to the prior year nine-month period, and bookings increased 9%.

Backlog											282,234			205,286			37	%

Industries’ revenue and earnings increases over the prior year third quarter were driven by the Mobile Equipment group which experienced continued strength in the commercial transportation market, partially offset by decreases at the Service Equipment group. Earnings gains were the result of the seventh consecutive quarter of increased earnings in Mobile Equipment. Operating margin increased 50 basis points largely due to operating efficiencies and positive leverage in the refuse and trailer markets. Excluding the impact of SFAS No. 123(R), earnings were $32.0 million and operating margin was 14.5% or an 80 basis point increase over the prior year third quarter.

Mobile Equipment revenue increased 14% over the prior year third quarter, driven for the most part by strength in the commercial transportation market segment. Earnings increased 29% driven by volume and improved leverage, partially offset by increased material costs. Bookings and backlog increased 31% and 46%, respectively.

Revenue in the Service Equipment group declined 4% compared to the prior year quarter due to continued weakness in the North American automotive service industry. The volume shortfalls led to an earnings decrease of 14% compared to the prior year third quarter, partially offset by reduced operating costs. Bookings decreased 8% and the backlog remained flat when compared to the prior year quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the increases in Industries revenue, earnings and bookings were driven by Mobile Equipment, which had increases of 12%, 36% and 25%, respectively. Service Equipment revenue and earnings declined 4% while bookings decreased 6% when compared to the prior year nine-month period.

Backlog											249,040			169,580			47	%

Resources’ revenue, earnings, and bookings increases were primarily driven by the Oil and Gas Equipment group and the August 30, 2006 acquisition of Paladin. Margin was impacted by purchase accounting amortization related to the Paladin acquisition. Overall, the segment had organic revenue growth of 10% during the quarter, with the remainder primarily from acquisitions. Excluding the impact of SFAS No. 123(R), earnings were $78.1 million and operating margin was 16.8% or essentially flat when compared to the prior year quarter.

20 of 26

Oil and Gas Equipment continued to deliver strong results with revenue and earnings increases of 37% and 58%, respectively, over the prior year third quarter. While commodity pricing for oil and gas has moderated, strong activity in exploration, production and drilling continues to drive the positive results. The group continues to judiciously add capacity to meet the high levels of demand which has constrained sequential operating leverage. Bookings increased by 41% and backlog increased 115% when compared to the prior year quarter.

Fluid Solutions revenue and earnings increased 10% and 4%, respectively, when compared to the prior year third quarter. Product mix and higher material costs had a negative impact on earnings and margin. The revenue increase was due to improvements in mobile transport equipment, global demand for retail petroleum equipment and support equipment for the growing ethanol business. Bookings increased 11% and backlog increased 20% when compared to the prior year quarter.

Material Handling revenue increased 13% while earnings were flat compared to the prior year third quarter. The revenue increase was driven by the Paladin acquisition and continued growth in the heavy winch business, partially offset by softness in the automotive and recreational vehicle markets. Margins were negatively impacted by the weak automotive and recreational vehicle markets. Bookings increased 9% while the backlog grew 41% when compared to the prior year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the increases in Resources revenue and earnings was driven by Oil and Gas Equipment, which had increases of 40% and 61%, respectively, and bookings increased 42%. Fluid Solutions revenue increased 6% while earnings grew 3% compared to the prior year nine-month period and bookings increased 7%. Material Handling revenue and earnings increased 11% and 7%, respectively, compared to the prior year nine-month period and bookings increased 10%.

Systems’ increase in revenue over the prior year third quarter was driven by both the Food Equipment group and the Packaging Equipment group. The decreases in earnings and operating margin were due to decreases in the Food Equipment group which more than offset increases by Packaging Equipment. Excluding the impact of SFAS No. 123(R), earnings were $25.5 million and operating margin was 11.7%.

Food Equipment revenue increased 8% over the prior year third quarter due to overall positive market conditions. Earnings decreased 24% over the prior year third quarter due to recent escalation in near term material costs, short-term capacity issues and customers’ decisions to delay quarter end shipments. Bookings decreased 4% compared to the prior year, but backlog increased 17%.

Packaging Equipment revenue increased 20% over the prior year third quarter, largely as a result of increased can necking equipment sales, primarily in international markets. Earnings increased 34% with positive leverage from volume increases in both can necking equipment and package closure systems. Bookings and backlog increased 31% and 39%, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the increases in Systems revenue and earnings were driven by both the Food Equipment group and the Packaging Equipment group. Food Equipment, revenue and earnings increased 20% and 11%, respectively, over the prior year nine-month period and bookings increased 18%. Packaging Equipment revenue and earnings increased 17% and 36%, respectively, and bookings increased 10% when compared to the prior year quarter.

Technologies’ revenue and earnings increases over the prior year third quarter reflect the relative strength of the segment’s markets seen over the prior twelve months, particularly the back-end semiconductor market. Of the 20% revenue growth, 11% was organic, with the remainder mainly from acquisitions. Improvements were reported across both groups in the segment. Operating margin decreased slightly due to product mix and costs related to long-term incentive plans. Excluding the impact of SFAS No. 123(R), earnings were $53.5 million and operating margin was 16.2% or essentially flat when compared to the prior year quarter.

Automation and Measurement revenue increased 18% while earnings increased 19% when compared to the prior year third quarter. Sequentially, revenue and earnings were off from the record highs of the second quarter, reflecting a moderation in the semiconductor market. Although the semiconductor market has softened from their previous pace, the group continues to exhibit strong fundamentals based on levels of recurring revenue and the overall strength of the consumer electronics industry. Bookings and backlog both increased 10% compared to the prior year period.

Product Identification (“PI”) revenue increased 22% while earnings increased 30% over the prior year third quarter, reflecting successful results from all product lines and regions. The acquisition of O’Neil Product Development, which closed in May of 2006, contributed half of the revenue increase. Bookings increased 28% and backlog increased 42% over the prior year third quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Technologies revenue increased 30%, bookings were up 26% and earnings increased 68%. Automation and Measurement had a 44% and 37% increase in revenue and bookings, respectively, and a 131% increase in earnings. PI earnings increased 36% on a 13% increase in revenue and a 14% increase in bookings, when compared to the prior year quarter.

Outlook

Given the strong backlog, the Company expects a solid fourth quarter well ahead of prior year results, but moderating somewhat from the third quarter of 2006 given normal seasonality factors and the short term impact of recent acquisitions.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in the public disclosures of the Company, including information regarding contingencies, risk and its financial condition. The Company believes its use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions conform to GAAP and are consistently applied. Valuations based on estimates are reviewed for reasonableness on a consistent basis throughout the Company.

As discussed in the “Consolidated Results of Operations” section above, Dover adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of SSARs and stock options issued by the Company. The model requires management to estimate the expected life of the

22 of 26

SSAR or option and the volatility of Dover’s stock using historical data. For additional detail related to the assumptions used and the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Except for the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) discussed above, management believes there have been no changes during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 to the items that the Company disclosed as its critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Special Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly “Management’s Discussion and Analysis,” contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements relate to, among other things, income, earnings, cash flows, changes in operations, operating improvements, industries in which Dover Companies operate and the U.S. and global economies. Statements in this 10-Q that are not historical are hereby identified as “forward-looking statements” and may be indicated by words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “supports,” “plans,” “projects,” “expects,” “believes,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “hope,” “forecast,” “management is of the opinion,” use of the future tense and similar words or phrases. Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent uncertainties and risks, including among others: increasing price and product/service competition by foreign and domestic competitors including new entrants; the impact of technological developments and changes on Dover companies, particularly companies in the Electronics and Technologies segments; the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective basis; changes in the cost or availability of energy or raw materials, particularly steel; changes in customer demand; the extent to which Dover companies are successful in expanding into new geographic markets, particularly outside of North America; the relative mix of products and services which impacts margins and operating efficiencies; short-term capacity restraints; the achievement of lower costs and expenses; domestic and foreign governmental and public policy changes including environmental regulations and tax policies (including domestic and foreign export subsidy programs, R&E credits and other similar programs); unforeseen developments in contingencies such as litigation; protection and validity of patent and other intellectual property rights; the success of the Company’s acquisition program; the cyclical nature of some of Dover’s companies; the impact of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, and their effect on global energy markets; and continued events in the Middle East and possible future terrorist threats and their effect on the worldwide economy. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and general domestic and international economic conditions including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations. In light of these risks and uncertainties, actual events and results may vary significantly from those included in or contemplated or implied by such statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Information

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s results as determined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company also discloses non-GAAP information which management believes provides useful information to investors. Free cash flow, net debt, total capitalization, adjusted working capital, revenues excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and

23 of 26

organic revenue growth are not financial measures under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for cash flows from operating activities, debt or equity, revenue and working capital as determined in accordance with GAAP, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes the (1) net debt to total capitalization ratio and (2) free cash flow are important measures of operating performance and liquidity. Net debt to total capitalization is helpful in evaluating the Company’s capital structure and the amount of leverage it employs. Free cash flow provides both management and investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available to fund acquisitions, pay dividends, repay debt and repurchase the Company’s common stock. Reconciliations of free cash flow, total debt and net debt can be found in Part (1) of Item 2-Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Management believes that reporting adjusted working capital (also sometimes called “working capital”), which is calculated as accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable, provides a meaningful measure of the Company’s operational results by showing the changes caused solely by revenue. Management believes that reporting adjusted working capital and revenues at constant currency, which excludes the positive or negative impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, provides a meaningful measure of the Company’s operational changes, given the global nature of Dover’s businesses. Management believes that reporting organic revenue growth, which excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions, provides a useful comparison of the Company’s revenue performance and trends between periods.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There has been no significant change in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the first nine months of 2006. For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2006.

During the third quarter of 2006, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In making its assessment of changes in internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2006, management has excluded those companies acquired in purchase business combinations during the twelve months ended September 30, 2006. The Company is currently assessing the control environments of these acquisitions. These companies are wholly-owned by the Company and their total revenue for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 represent approximately 8.8% and 7.3%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenue for the same periods. Their assets represent approximately 23.5% of the Company’s consolidated assets at September 30, 2006.
