IDEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Acquisition

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
the January 22, 1988 Acquisition of the initial six businesses comprising IDEX
Corporation ("IDEX" or the "Company") was not accounted for as a purchase
transaction. Consequently, the accounting for the acquisition does not reflect
any adjustment of the carrying value of the assets and liabilities to their
fair values at the time of the acquisition. Accordingly, the total
shareholders' equity of IDEX at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 includes a
charge of $96.5 million which represents the excess of the purchase price over
the book value of the subsidiaries purchased at the date of the acquisition.

2.(a) Significant Accounting Policies

In the opinion of management, the unaudited information presented as of
March 31, 1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 reflects
all adjustments necessary, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments,
for a fair presentation of the interim periods.

(b) Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents, in the form of stock
options, have been included in the calculation of weighted average shares
outstanding using the treasury stock method.

3. Inventories

The components of inventories as of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995
were (000's omitted):

Those inventories which were carried on a LIFO basis amounted to $57,684
and $57,409 at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. The excess
of current cost over LIFO inventory value and the impact on earnings of using
the LIFO method are not material.

4. Common and Preferred Stock

The Company had five million shares of preferred stock authorized but
unissued at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Historical Overview and Outlook

IDEX sells a broad range of proprietary fluid handling and industrial
products to a diverse customer base in the U.S. and, to an increasing extent,
internationally. Accordingly, IDEX's businesses are affected by levels of
industrial activity and economic conditions in the U.S. and in other countries
where its products are sold and by the relationship of the dollar to other
currencies. Among the factors that affect the demand for IDEX's products are
interest rates, levels of capital spending in certain industries, and overall
industrial growth.

IDEX has a history of strong operating margins. The Company's operating
margins are affected by, among other things, utilization of facilities as sales
volumes change, and inclusion of newly acquired businesses which may have lower
margins that could be further affected by purchase accounting adjustments.

IDEX's orders, sales, net income and earnings per share in the first
quarter of 1996 were the highest of any first quarter in its history. Business
conditions showed moderate growth during that period. Incoming orders in the
1996 first quarter increased 6% over the same quarter of 1995, which was IDEX's
previous record quarter. Sales in the first quarter of 1996 increased 15% over
the same quarter of last year, as sales in the core businesses improved 4% and
the inclusion of Micropump (May 1995) and Lukas (October 1995) added 11% to the
volume increase. Shipments in the quarter kept pace with the incoming orders,
so backlogs were unchanged and remain at IDEX's normal operating level of about
1-1/2 months' sales. This low level of backlog allows IDEX to provide
excellent customer service, but also means that changes in orders are felt
quickly in operating results.

IDEX continues to expect record sales and earnings in 1996. As expected,
the rate of growth, particularly in the U.S., has slowed somewhat, but IDEX's
business activity continues at a high level. With modest economic growth
expected during the next few quarters and barring unforeseen circumstances,
IDEX should experience higher earnings in 1996 than in 1995. International
expansion, new products, cost controls, integration of acquisitions, and use of
the Company's strong cash flow to cut debt and interest expense are among the
factors that should contribute to earnings growth.

Results of Operations

For purposes of this discussion and analysis section, reference is made to
the table on the preceding page and the Company's Statements of Consolidated
Operations included in the Financial Statement section. IDEX consists of two
business segments: Fluid Handling and Industrial Products.

Performance in the Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to 1995

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $133.9 million an
increase of 15% over the $116.6 million recorded in the first quarter of 1995.

Fluid Handling Group sales of $96.6 million increased $15.1 million, or
19%, due to the inclusion of the recently acquired Micropump and Lukas
operations and improving international business conditions. Sales outside the
U.S. increased to 38% of total Fluid Handling Group sales in the first quarter
of 1996 from 31% in the comparable 1995 period due to the inclusion of Lukas,
based in Germany, the U.K.-based operations of Micropump, and stronger
worldwide demand for products of the Group's core businesses.

First quarter 1996 sales in the Industrial Products Group of $37.3 million
increased $2.2 million, or 6%, over the same quarter of last year due to higher
customer demand for banding and clamping devices and sign mounting systems.
Shipments outside the U.S. were 37% of total sales in the Industrial Products
Group in the first quarter of 1996, up from 36% in the comparable 1995 period.

Income from operations increased $2.9 million or 14% to $23.4 million in
the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $20.5 million in 1995's first
quarter. Operating margin at 17.5% of sales in the 1996 period was virtually
unchanged from 17.6% in 1995. In the Fluid Handling Group, income from
operations of $19.8 million and operating margin of 20.5% in the first three
months of 1996 compare to the $16.9 million and 20.7% recorded in 1995. The
slight operating margin decline resulted from the inclusion of recent
acquisitions whose operating margins, as expected, were somewhat lower than the
other units in the Group and whose profits were further affected by purchase
accounting adjustments. Income from operations in the Industrial Products
Group of $5.9 million in the three-month 1996 period was unchanged from 1995.
Operating margin of 15.8% in the 1996 first quarter decreased from the 16.8%
achieved in 1995 due primarily to softness in the heavy-duty truck market and
manufacturing inefficiencies associated with new product introduction.

Interest expense increased to $4.2 million in the first quarter of 1996
from $3.7 million in the 1995 period because of additional borrowings under the
Credit Agreements for the acquisitions of Micropump and Lukas.

The provision for income taxes increased to $7.0 million in the three
months ended March 31, 1996 from $6.1 million in the comparable 1995 period.
The effective tax rate increased to 36.5% in 1996 from 36.0% in 1995.

Net income of $12.2 million in the first quarter of 1996 was 13% higher
than net income of $10.8 million in same period of 1995. Earnings per share
amounted to $.62 in 1996's first quarter, which was 13% higher than the $.55
recorded in the first quarter of 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1996, IDEX's working capital was $109.7 million and its
current ratio was 2.4 to 1. Internally generated funds were adequate to fund
capital expenditures of $2.7 million and $2.3 million, and dividends on common
stock of $3.1 million and $2.7 million, for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively. The capital expenditures were generally for
machinery and equipment which improved productivity, although a portion was for
repair and replacement of equipment and facilities. Management believes that
IDEX has ample capacity in its plant and equipment to meet expected needs for
future growth in the intermediate term. During the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995, depreciation and amortization expense, excluding
amortization of debt issuance expenses, was $5.2 million and $4.1 million,
respectively.

At March 31, 1996, the maximum amount available under the U.S. Credit
Agreement was $150 million, of which $93 million was being used. The
availability under the U.S. Credit Agreement declines in stages commencing
December 31, 1996 to $115 million on December 31, 1997. Any amount outstanding
at June 30, 1999 becomes due at that date. Interest is payable quarterly on
the outstanding balance at the bank agent's reference rate, or at LIBOR plus 75
basis points. The maximum amount available at March 31, 1996 under the
Company's German Credit Agreement was DM 52.5 million ($35.6 million), of which
DM 46.7 million ($31.7 million) was being used. The availability under the
Company's German Credit Agreement declines in stages from DM 52.5 million to DM
31.3 million at November 1, 2000. Any amount outstanding at November 1, 2001
becomes due at that date. Interest is payable quarterly on the outstanding
balance at LIBOR plus 100 basis points.

IDEX believes it will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet
its operating requirements, interest and scheduled amortization payments under
both the U.S. Credit Agreement and the German Credit Agreement, interest and
principal payments on the Senior Subordinated Notes, approximately $16 million
of planned capital expenditures and $12 million of annual dividend payments to
holders of common stock in 1996. From commencement of operations in January
1988 until March 31, 1996, IDEX has borrowed $277 million under the credit
agreements to complete nine acquisitions. During this same period, IDEX
generated, principally from operations, cash flow of $242 million to reduce its
indebtedness. In the event that suitable businesses or assets are available
for acquisition by IDEX upon terms acceptable to the Board of Directors, IDEX
may obtain all or a portion of the financing for the acquisitions through the
incurrence of additional long-term indebtedness.
