PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS. Parker-Hannifin Corporation is a leading worldwide
full-line manufacturer of motion control products, including fluid power
systems, electromechanical controls and related components. Fluid power
involves the transfer and control of power through the medium of liquid, gas or
air, in hydraulic, pneumatic and vacuum applications. Fluid power systems move
and position materials, control machines, vehicles and equipment and improve
industrial efficiency and productivity. Components of a simple fluid power
system include a pump which generates pressure, valves which control the
fluid's flow, an actuator which translates the pressure in the fluid into
mechanical energy, a filter to remove contaminants and numerous hoses,
couplings, fittings and seals. Electromechanical control involves the use of
electronic components and systems to control motion and precisely locate or
vary speed in automation applications. In addition to motion control products,
the Company also is a leading worldwide producer of fluid purification, fluid
flow, process instrumentation, air conditioning, refrigeration, and
electromagnetic shielding and thermal management products.

The Company was incorporated in Ohio in 1938. Its principal executive
offices are located at 6035 Parkland Boulevard, Mayfield Heights, Ohio 44124-
4141, telephone (216) 896-3000. As used in this Report, unless the context
otherwise requires, the term "Company" or "Parker" refers to Parker-Hannifin
Corporation and its subsidiaries.

to the federal "Superfund" law, under which the Company has been designated as
a "potentially responsible party" and may be liable for cleanup costs
associated with various waste sites, some of which are on the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency Superfund priority list. The Company believes
that its policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent
unreasonable risk of environmental damage and the consequent financial
liability to the Company. Compliance with
- 5 -

environmental laws and regulations requires continuing management effort and
expenditures by the Company. Compliance with environmental laws and
regulations has not had in the past, and, the Company believes, will not have
in the future, material effects on the capital expenditures, earnings, or
competitive position of the Company. The information set forth in Footnote 14
