                 NOTE TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                 ---------------------------------------

     The attached condensed financial information has been prepared
in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, does
not include all financial note information which might be necessary
for a fair presentation in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Such condensed financial information is
unaudited, but in the opinion of management, includes all adjust-
ments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and
accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the
periods indicated. The net income reported for the periods should
not necessarily be regarded as indicative of net income on an
annualized basis; however, significant variations from the results
for the same period of the previous year, if any, have been
disclosed in the accompanying management's discussion and analysis.

                 Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 ---------------------------------------

              Financial Condition and Results of Operations
              ---------------------------------------------


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

    The working capital ratio at March 31, 1994 was 1.9 to 1 as compared to
2.0 to 1 at December 31, 1993, reflecting the continuation of an adequate
level of liquidity necessary to support operations.  The company's net cash
position (cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments less
short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt and capital
lease) declined $9.0 million during the quarter.  This was due primarily to
a cash investment of approximately $3.3 million in a joint venture and
increased short-term borrowings in the U.S. associated with (i) seasonal
cash needs, (ii) the replacement of maturing long-term obligations with
short-term debt, and (iii) increases in non-cash (primarily accounts
receivable) working capital.  Working capital decreased $2.7 million during
the quarter mainly as a result of the aforementioned reduction in net cash.

    During March, 1994, the company entered into an agreement for the
creation of the above-noted joint venture with Fluid Recycling Services
Company which is expected to enhance the Total Fluid Management (TFM)
capabilities of the company.  In addition to the initial contribution,
additional investments are expected over the next few years based on the
growth of the venture.

Comparison of First Quarter 1994 with First Quarter 1993
- --------------------------------------------------------

    Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 1994 decreased $3.3
million (7%) while income from operations decreased $.1 million (2%) when
compared to the first quarter of 1993.  The decrease in sales was due to a
3% decline in volume; a 2% reduction associated with currency translation;
and declines of 1% each from price and product mix, and the net result of
acquisitions and divestitures.  The decrease in the volume for the quarter
was mainly a result of a reduction in orders shipped to the People's
Republic of China (PRC) as that country worked down an earlier inventory
buildup; the European recession's impact on customer production levels,
particularly in the steel and automotive markets of Southern Europe; and
the adverse effect of the continued slump in the aircraft and aerospace
industry.  Shipments to the PRC are expected to resume in the second
quarter, hopefully, under a more consistent order pattern.  The company
continues to be challenged with pricing pressures in key markets and
increased customer efficiencies in the usage of chemical products.  While
operating conditions in the United States appear healthy, uncertainty
exists as to whether or not the current pace of industrial activity can
continue given the Federal Reserve Board's recent actions to restrain
inflation.  In Europe, though there have been modest signs of improvement
in some of our markets, it is difficult to predict the timing of an overall
recovery.

    Operating margins as a percentage of sales were comparable to first
quarter 1993 as improved sales mix, lower raw material costs, and cost
savings associated with the company's 1993 repositioning program offset the
negative leverage effect of fixed costs on reduced sales volume.  The
after-tax financial benefit generated in the first quarter 1994 from the
1993 repositioning program was approximately $.05 per share.  Interest
income declined mainly as a result of lower cash holdings by the company.
The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 1994 increased slightly
versus first quarter 1993 primarily as a result of foreign taxes on
earnings at rates different than the U.S. federal tax rates.  The decrease
in equity in net income from associated companies was primarily due to
lower earnings from the company's Japanese affiliate which is being
hampered by sluggish demand in the Japanese steel industry.  The negative
influence of currency translation on first quarter 1994 net income was $.01
per share.
