NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
instructions for Form 10-Q and, accordingly, do not include
all information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and footnotes included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995, previously filed with the Commission.

2. The results of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results to be expected for the full year.

3. Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on
the current best estimate of the effective federal, state
and foreign income tax rates.

4. Earnings per common share are based on the weighted
average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding during each period. The tax benefits applicable
to preferred dividends paid to ESOPs are: for allocated
shares credited to income tax expense and for unallocated
shares, credited to retained earnings and are not
considered earnings applicable to common stock.

Fully diluted computations assume full conversion of each
series of preferred stock into common stock, the
elimination of preferred dividend requirements, and the
recognition of the tax benefit on deductible ESOP dividends
applicable to allocated shares payable based on the
converted common dividend rate. Conversion was assumed
during the portion of each period that the securities were
outstanding.


5. The long-term debt is summarized as follows ($
millions):

Debt agreements contain various restrictive covenants,
including a limitation on the payment of dividends and
certain other restricted payments. Under the most
restrictive covenants, $56 million of the March 31, 1996
retained earnings were unrestricted for such purposes.

7. Stock Split

On January 22, 1996 the board of directors approved a
two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend.
The dividend was payable February 16, 1996 to shareholders
of record at the close of business on February 2, 1996.
All references in the financial statements to shares
outstanding and per share amounts have been restated to
reflect this split.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Pentair reported net income of $16.5 million, or 38 cents
per fully diluted share, on consolidated net sales of
$366.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
This represented a 19 percent increase in net income and a
10 percent increase in sales over the first quarter of
1995. The first quarter 1995 income from continuing
operations was $13.9 million, or 32 cents per fully diluted
share, on consolidated net sales of $333.8 million.

Specialty Products Segment. Net sales increased $35.8
million or 30% and operating income increased $5.5 million
or 41%. The increase is attributable to Fleck Controls, an
acquisition made in November 1995 and double digit sales growth
over the last year at Delta, Myers and Porter Cable.
The improvements reflect new product sales,
contributions from smaller acquisitions, and further
expansion into major home center distribution channels.

General Industrial Equipment Segment. Sales decreased $3.3
million or 1.5% and operating income decreased $1.9 million
or 9%. Hoffman and Schroff posted modest sales increases
and level earnings as compared to very good 1995 first
quarter results. Both Lincoln Industrial and Lincoln
Automotive profits increased due to cost reductions and
improved productivity. Sales at Federal Cartridge were
slow in the seasonally weak first quarter. Federal
continues to feel the effects of the industry correction
due to abnormally high ammunition sales in 1994. Buying
patterns in the ammunition industry are expected to cause
a concentration of sales in the late summer/early fall
hunting season.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

In 1996 as in 1995, net income adjusted for non-cash items
provided some of the funds for seasonal working capital
increases. Accounts receivable levels increased due to
dating programs and strong sales in the later part of
March. Some subsidiaries were also building inventory
levels after high fourth quarter 1995 sales. Borrowings in
the first quarter of 1996 financed some operating needs,
acquisition payments, along with capital expenditures. The
proceeds from the $100 million note receivable from the
sale of Cross Pointe Paper offset much of the $120 million
notes payable for the purchase of Fleck Controls. Capital
expenditures were $9.4 million in 1996 as compared to $9.9
million in 1995. The percentage of long-term debt to total
capital was 34% at March 31, 1996 compared to 31% at
December 31, 1995.

The full year 1996 cash flow from operations is expected to
increase with additional net income contributions as
compared to last year. Working capital needs are somewhat
seasonal during the year and tend to grow over time as
sales increase. Capital expenditures are expected to be
about $90 million in 1996 as compared to $63.8 million in
1995. This increase is due primarily to the addition of a
Hoffman manufacturing facility in Mount Sterling, Kentucky
and new product development activities.

Based upon current operating expectations, credit available
under revolving credit facilities is expected to be
adequate to cover seasonal working capital, long-term
capital expenditure requirements and acquisitions.


OUTLOOK

In general, the Company is well-positioned to continue its
internal growth. Recent acquisitions are expected to
continue to contribute to sales and earnings growth. The
strong emphasis on product development and aggressive
efforts to expand distribution channels that helped during
1995 are expected to generate growth in market share, sales
and profits. In all subsidiaries, sales will continue to
grow as a result of new products and enhanced customer
service. Pentair continues to search for strategic or
synergistic industrial acquisitions.
