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 September 30, 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
September 30, 1996 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 1996 and December 31,
1995 were (000's omitted):
September 30, December 31,
1996 1995
-------- --------
Inventories (unaudited)
Raw materials and supplies $ 18,515 $ 13,978
Work in process 16,496 15,434
Finished goods 68,140 71,640
-------- --------
Totals $103,151 $101,052
======== ========
Those inventories which were carried on a LIFO basis amounted to $68,225
and $57,409 at September 30, 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 September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995.
5. Long-Term Debt
On July 17, 1996, IDEX entered into a multi-currency Third Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement ("Amended U.S. Credit Agreement") increasing the
maximum availability to $250 million along with making certain adjustments to
the interest rate structure. The availability under the Amended U.S. Credit
Agreement declines in stages commencing July 1, 1999 to $200 million on July 1,
2000. Any amount outstanding at July 1, 2001 becomes due at that date.
Interest is payable quarterly on the outstanding balance at the bank agent's
reference rate, or at LIBOR plus an applicable margin.

6. Acquisition of Fluid Management Limited Partnership
On July 29, 1996, IDEX purchased substantially all of the net operating
assets of Fluid Management Limited Partnership ("FMLP"), the leading worldwide
manufacturer of dispensing and mixing equipment for paints, coatings, inks,
colorants and dyes. The $138 million purchase price was financed through a
$136 million borrowing under the Amended U.S. Credit Agreement and the issuance
of 75,700 shares of IDEX common stock. The excess of the purchase price over
the fair market value of net assets acquired of approximately $104.2 million
will be amortized over 30 years. The acquisition has been accounted for by the
purchase method of accounting. The liabilities assumed in connection with the
acquisition of FMLP were as follows:
Fair value of assets acquired $ 51,553
Cost in excess of net assets acquired 104,226
Cash paid for net assets of FMLP and related transaction costs (136,100)
Common stock issued in connection with the acquisition ( 2,270)
--------
Liabilities assumed $ 17,409
========
The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations of IDEX for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, reflecting the allocation of the
purchase price and related financing of the transactions would have been as
follows (in thousands except per share amounts), assuming that the FMLP
acquisition had occurred at the beginning of each of the respective periods.

Fluid Management's financial performance for the period January 1 to
July 29, 1996, prior to the acquisition by IDEX was adversely affected by
volume-related profit declines in Europe, and startup costs associated with
major new product introductions.

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 third
quarter of 1996 were the highest of any third quarter in its history. Incoming
orders in the 1996 third quarter increased 28% over the same quarter of 1995,
while sales increased 21%. This year's third quarter results include two
months of activity for Fluid Management, acquired in late July 1996, and a full
quarter of activity for Lukas Hydraulik, acquired in the fourth quarter of last
year. Without these acquisitions, incoming orders in the base businesses were
up 9% and sales were up by about 3% over the third quarter of last year. New
orders exceeded shipments by about $2.5 million in this year's third quarter,
while backlogs were reduced by $5 million in last year's third quarter.
Although backlogs increased slightly in this year's third quarter, they remain
at IDEX's typical 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.
The following forward looking statements are qualified by the cautionary
statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act set forth below.
As expected, IDEX was able to achieve nice growth in earnings in the third
quarter. With customarily small backlogs of about 1- 1/2 months' sales,
near-term sales volume hinges on the incoming order pace. Based on current
activity levels, IDEX continues to expect that new records will be achieved in
sales, net income and earnings per share for the fourth quarter and for the
full year 1996. Beyond that, IDEX is well situated to continue its progression
by stressing new product development, market share growth, international
expansion, operating improvements in recently acquired businesses, and by
continuing its disciplined acquisition program as appropriate opportunities
arise.
Cautionary Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
Demand for the Company's products is cyclical in nature and subject to
changes in general market conditions that affect demand. The Company's
customers operate primarily in industries that are affected by changes in
economic conditions, which in turn can affect orders. The Company operates
without significant order backlogs. As a result, economic slowdowns could
quickly have an adverse effect on the Company's performance. In addition, the
Company's operating forecasts and budgets are based upon detailed assumptions,
which it believes are reasonable, but inherent difficulties in predicting the
impact of certain factors may cause actual results to differ materially from
the forward-looking statements set forth above. These factors include, but are
not limited to the following: the Company's utilization of its capacity and the
impact of capacity utilization on costs; developments with respect to
contingencies such as environmental matters and litigation; labor market
conditions and raw materials costs; levels of industrial activity and economic
conditions in the U.S. and other countries around the world and levels of
capital spending in certain industries, all of which have a material influence
on order rates; the relationship of the dollar to other currencies; interest
rates; the Company's ability to integrate and operate acquired businesses on a
profitable basis; and, other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Results of Operations
For purposes of this discussion and analysis section, reference is made to
the tables on the preceding pages 9 and 10 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 Third Quarter Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to 1995
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were $140.9
million, a gain of 21% over $116.8 million in the third quarter of last year.
International sales rose to 41% of the total in the third quarter from 35% in
the same quarter last year.
Fluid Handling Group sales of $107.8 million in the three months ended
September 30, 1996 increased by $22.7 million, or 27%, over the same period in
1995, primarily due to the inclusion of recent acquisitions, Lukas (October
1995) and Fluid Management (late July 1996). Sales outside the U.S.
increased to 40% of total Fluid Handling Group sales in the third quarter of
1996 from 34% in the comparable 1995 period primarily due to the inclusion of
Lukas, based in Germany, and the international operations of Fluid Management.
Third quarter 1996 sales in the Industrial Products Group of $34.5 million
increased $2.8 million, or 9%, from the same quarter of last year due to higher
demand in international markets. Shipments outside the U.S. were 42% of
total sales in the Industrial Products Group in the third quarter of 1996, up
from 36% in the comparable 1995 period.
Income from operations increased $3.3 million, or 16%, to $23.7 million in
the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $20.4 million in 1995's third
quarter. Overall operating profit margins are usually lower in the third
quarter because of vacations and plant shutdowns. IDEX's 16.9% operating
profit margins in the third quarter of this year were down slightly from last
year's third quarter margins of 17.4% because margins in the recently acquired
Fluid Management business do not yet match those of the Company's base
businesses.
In the Fluid Handling Group, income from operations of $20.2 million and
operating margins of 18.7% in the three-month 1996 period compared to the $16.6
million and 19.6% 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 $5.8 million in the third
quarter of 1996 rose $.5 million from $5.3 million in 1995. Operating margin
of 16.8% for the Group in the 1996 third quarter equaled the margin achieved in
the same 1995 period.
Interest expense increased to $5.2 million in the third quarter of 1996
from $4.1 million in the comparable period last year because of additional
borrowings under the credit agreements for the acquisitions of Lukas and Fluid
Management.
The provision for income taxes increased 16% to $6.7 million in the three
months ended September 30, 1996 from $5.8 million in 1995. The effective tax
rate increased to 36.2% in the 1996 period from 35.4% in the corresponding
period of 1995 due to increased profit from international operations in higher
tax jurisdictions.
Net income of $11.8 million was 11% higher than the $10.7 million earned
in the same period in 1995. Earnings per share in this year's third quarter
amounted to 60 cents, also an 11% improvement over last year's 54 cents.

Performance in the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to 1995
In the nine months ended September 30, 1996, IDEX had record sales of
$405.9 million, up 13% from last year's previous record of $360.6 million.
Sales in the base businesses were up about 1% from last year, with acquisitions
accounting for 12% of the Company's sales growth. International sales
accounted for 39% of the total in the first nine months of 1996, up from 34%
last year and incoming orders totaled $402.8 million, within 1% of sales.
Backlogs at September 30 were at a typical 1- 1/2 months' equivalent sales.
Fluid Handling Group sales of $300.9 million increased $42.8 million, or
17%, primarily due to the inclusion of the recently acquired Micropump, Lukas
and Fluid Management operations. Sales outside the U.S. increased to 39% of
total Fluid Handling Group sales in the first nine months of 1996 from 32% in
the comparable 1995 period due to the inclusion of Lukas, based in Germany, the
U.K. operations of Micropump, the international operations of Fluid Management,
and stronger worldwide demand for products of the Group's core businesses.
Sales of $106.5 million in the first nine months of 1996 in the Industrial
Products Group increased $3.7 million, or 4%, over the same period of
last year due to higher customer demand for the Group's products. Shipments
outside the U.S. were 39% of total sales in the Industrial Products Group in
the nine-month 1996 period, up slightly from 38% in the comparable 1995 period.
Income from operations increased $6.9 million, or 11%, to $70.9 million in
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $64.0 million in the same 1995
period. Nine-month 1996 operating margins of 17.5% were slightly lower than
the 17.7% posted last year. In the Fluid Handling Group, income from
operations of $60.5 million and operating margin of 20.1% in the first nine
months of 1996 compare to the $53.3 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 of $16.8 million in the
Industrial Products Group in the nine-month 1996 period was down $.2 million
from the $17.0 million recorded in 1995. The Group's operating margin of 15.8%
in 1996's first nine months decreased from the 16.6% achieved in 1995, because
of margin declines at the Company's Strippit business unit.
Interest expense increased to $13.5 million in the first nine months of
1996 from $11.7 million in the 1995 period because of additional borrowings
under the credit agreements for the acquisitions of Micropump, Lukas and Fluid
Management.
The provision for income taxes increased to $20.6 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 from $18.8 million in the comparable 1995
period. The effective tax rate increased slightly to 36.0% in 1996 from 35.8%
in 1995.
Record net income of $36.7 million improved by 9% over the $33.8 million
in the same period last year, and record earnings per share of $1.85 in this
year's first three quarters compared with $1.71 earned in last year's
nine-month period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 1996, IDEX's working capital was $111.0 million and its
current ratio was 2.3 to 1. Internally generated funds were adequate to fund
capital expenditures of $9.3 million and $9.6 million, and dividends on common
stock of $9.2 million and $8.0 million, for the nine months ended September 30,
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 nine months ended September
30, 1996 and 1995, depreciation and amortization expense, excluding
amortization of debt issuance expenses, was $16.4 million and $12.6 million,
respectively.
On July 17, 1996, IDEX entered into an Amended U.S. Credit Agreement
increasing the maximum amount available to $250 million and making certain
adjustments to the interest rate structure. At September 30, 1996, $186
million was borrowed under this facility. The availability under the Amended
U.S. Credit Agreement declines in stages commencing July 1, 1999 to $200
million on July 1, 2000. Any amount outstanding at July 1, 2001 becomes due at
that date. Interest is payable quarterly on the outstanding balance at the
bank agent's reference rate, or at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. At
September 30, 1996, that applicable margin was 62.5 basis points. In addition,
a facility fee is payable quarterly on the entire $250 million available under
the Amended U.S. Credit Agreement. At September 30, 1996, the applicable
facility fee percentage was 20 basis points.
The maximum amount available at September 30, 1996 under the Company's
German Credit Agreement was DM 52.5 million ($35.4 million), of which DM 50.0
million ($33.7 million) was being used. The availability under the Company's
German Credit Agreement declines in stages 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 Amended 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 September 30, 1996, IDEX has borrowed $413 million under
the credit agreements to complete ten acquisitions. During this same period,
IDEX generated, principally from operations, cash flow of $283 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.
On July 29, 1996, IDEX acquired Fluid Management, a Wheeling,
Illinois-based manufacturer of dispensing and mixing equipment for paints,
coatings, inks, colorants and dyes for approximately $138 million, including
IDEX common stock valued at about $2 million. Fluid Management, which also has
operations in the Netherlands, Germany and Australia, is a leading producer of
this type of equipment, with annual sales of approximately $90 million. The
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and was
financed through a $136 million borrowing under the Amended U.S. Credit
Agreement and the issuance of 75,700 shares of IDEX common stock.
