These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

See notes to consolidated financial statements. F-12 15 FLUID MANAGEMENT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Fluid Management Limited Partnership ("FMLP") was formed in 1987 under the Illinois Uniform Limited Partnership Act. FMLP's managing general partner is Fluid Management Inc., a Delaware corporation, which is an affiliate of The Saranow Company. FMLP is the leading manufacturer of mixing and tinting equipment for the paint, coatings and ink industries worldwide. More than half of the company's products are sold overseas, primarily in Europe. Fluid Management also provides specialized equipment and engineered systems to other industries -- food, chemicals and cosmetics. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FMLP and its majority owned subsidiaries: FMLP's 95 percent limited partnership interest in Fluid Management Europe C.V. ("C.V.") (a Netherlands limited partnership); FMLP's 99 percent limited partnership interests in Fluid Management Australia L.P. ("Strastint") (an Australian limited partnership), Fluid Management GmbH ("GmbH") (a German corporation), Fluid Management Canada, L.L.C. ("Canada") (an Illinois limited liability corporation), Fluid Management Servicos e Vendas Ltda ("Brazil") (a Brazilian Corporation), Fluid Management France SNC ("France") (a French general partnership); and FMLP's 100 percent interest in Fluid Management Services Inc. (a U.S. corporation) (collectively referred to as the "Partnership"). All of these entities excluding Fluid Management Services Inc. are treated as partnerships for U.S. tax purposes. Fluid Management International, Inc. ("FMI"), which is not included in the consolidated results, serves as a general partner of GmbH, Strastint and Brazil. FMI is also a member of Canada. Profits and losses allocable to FMI are accounted for as minority interests. The 5% interest in C.V. and 1% interest in France are owned by Fluid Management Europe B.V. ("B.V."). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to ten years. F-13 16 Patents and Trademarks - Patents and trademarks are amortized over periods ranging from five to seventeen years. Accumulated amortization was $2,436,000 and $2,404,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994. Other Assets - Other assets are amortized over periods ranging from two to thirteen years. Goodwill - the excess of purchase price over the net assets of acquired businesses is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from fifteen to forty years. Accumulated amortization was $979,000 and $629,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994. Income Taxes - The Partnership is not considered a taxable entity for United States federal or state income tax purposes. The Partnership's United States income is reported by the Partnership's partners on their individual tax returns. FMLP is considered by the Dutch government to be the taxable entity for payment of taxes on FMLP's allocable share of the income of C.V. Strastint files an Australian tax return and pays taxes on behalf of its limited partner, FMLP, and GmbH files tax returns in Germany. Such taxes comprise the provision for foreign income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. At December 31, 1995, GmbH has net operating loss carry forwards of $1,230,000 available to offset future German taxable income which do not expire. The related deferred tax asset in the amount of $369,000 has been fully offset by a valuation allowance because of uncertainty about realization of such asset. Reclassifications - Certain 1994 balances have been reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation. 3. ACQUISITIONS Effective October 1, 1995, FMLP purchased certain assets of the Gravimetric dispensing division of Datacolor International for approximately $1,131,000 which includes cash of $360,000 and a non-interest-bearing note in the amount of $771,000 (discounted to $586,000) payable over five years. Effective April 1, 1994, Fluid Management GmbH, a newly formed subsidiary of FMLP, purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of fluid Verfahrenstechnik GmbH, a German corporation engaged in the business of designing and manufacturing industrial ink and paint colorant dispensers, for approximately $3,700,000. Effective July 1, 1993, a newly formed subsidiary of FMLP purchased substantially all of the assets of Strastint International Pty. Ltd. of New South Wales, Australia, for approximately $4,100,000. FMLP is obligated under non-compete and consulting agreements to make additional payments of at least $1,140,000 over the five-year period ending in 1998; such payments amounted to $187,000 in 1995 and $182,000 in 1994. These acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations of these acquired businesses have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition. 4.

1995 1994 ---- ---- Bank Credit Agreement: Term loan $13,714 $13,825 Revolver loans 5,977* 6,931 ------- ------- 19,691 20,756 Dutch term loan 733 Installment note 601 Other 449 159 ------- ------- $20,741 $21,648 ======= =======
*There were also letters of credit aggregating $2.1 million outstanding under the revolver facility at December 31, 1995. Scheduled maturities of long-term debt for the years ending December 31 are as follows: 1996 - $3,053,000; 1997 - $3,275,000; 1998 - $3,207,000; 1999 - $3,159,000; 2000 - $8,047,000. Amounts due in 1996 are classified as long-term debt because of the availability of additional long-term borrowings under the Bank Credit Agreement. Credit Agreement - Effective September 29, 1995, the Partnership amended and restated the existing Credit Agreement with a commercial bank to provide a $30 million facility, including $14.5 million term debt line (in U.S. Dollars and/or Dutch Guilders) and a $15.5 million formula-based revolver. The term loan requires 19 equal quarterly principal payments of approximately $763,000 from December 31, 1995 to June 30, 2000. Availability under the revolver is subject to limitations based on eligible accounts receivable, inventories, and property and equipment. The agreement expires and has a final maturity on June 30, 2000. Interest under the Credit Agreement is based, at the Partnership's option, on either the bank's reference rate plus 50 basis points (bp) or the Eurocurrency rate (as adjusted) plus 150 bp. At December 31, 1995, interest was payable at 7.0 percent. To reduce the Partnership's exposure to floating interest rates, the Partnership has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a commercial bank in a notional principal amount of $8,000,000. The agreement expires November, 1997 and provides for the Partnership to pay interest at an average equivalent annual rate of approximately 8.6 percent. The differential payable under this agreement is recognized currently in the financial statements. F-17 20 Borrowings and letters of credit are collateralized by all of the U.S. and Dutch assets of the Partnership. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Partnership is subject to certain covenants that include, among other things, restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and limitations on management fees and expenses, capital expenditures and distributions. The Partnership also has agreed to maintain certain financial ratios (as defined in the Credit Agreement) including working capital, net worth, leverage, and interest coverage. Installment Note - the installment note represents the present value of a non-interest-bearing note payable to Datacolor International (Note 3). The note is payable in four annual installments beginning in 1997. 10. PARTNERS' CAPITAL Contributed capital at December 31 consists of the following (in thousands):

Net income and losses of the Partnership, after deduction for accrued Class B and Class C preferred returns, are allocated to Class A partnership units. Distributions are made at the discretion of the general partners subject to certain mandatory provisions. Distributions of Partnership capital (including partner withdrawals and Partnership dissolution) are made in accordance with each partner's Class A common percentage interest in the Partnership. 11. OPERATING LEASES The Partnership leases its manufacturing plants and office facilities and certain equipment and vehicles under non-cancelable operating leases, including certain leases with Bethesda (Note 4). Total rent expense was $2,160,000 and $1,540,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively. In addition to rent, the F-18 21 Partnership is required to pay maintenance, insurance and real estate taxes on the various properties it leases.

12. PROFIT-SHARING PLAN The Partnership has a profit-sharing and retirement plan covering substantially all full-time domestic employees with more than one year of service (the "Plan"). Partnership contributions to the Plan are made at the discretion of the Partnership and amounted to $590,000 and $745,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively. 13. LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN The Partnership adopted a Phantom Equity Plan as of January 1, 1988. Under the terms of the plan, certain managers are granted deferred compensation rights in phantom partnership units. Each participant is entitled to the increase in value of his or her units over the value assigned at the time of the award, subject to a six-year vesting schedule. This increase in value is treated as compensation expense for reporting purposes; however, for tax purposes, amounts are not deductible until paid. Effective June 30, 1994, the plan was amended to provide for a 1,000-to-1 unit split. At December 31, 1995, there were 75,400 phantom units outstanding, with an aggregate valuation of $1,031,100 more than their respective grant prices, of which $481,290 was legally vested. As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership has accrued $786,000 for such liabilities. 14. INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the following assets, liabilities and net income of the Partnership's foreign operations (in thousands):

F-19 22 Approximately $8,600,000 of the Partnership's borrowings at December 31, 1995 are in Dutch Guilders and German Marks to hedge the Partnership's net investment in its European operations. Translation gains and loses on the foreign borrowings are accounted for as part of the cumulative translationadjustment. In addition, short-term forward contracts and options are used to partially hedge the anticipated flow of funds between FMLP and its foreign subsidiaries. The contracts and options are marked to market and gains or losses are recorded in the income statement. At December 31, 1995, forward and option contracts to purchase a total of 13,250,000 Dutch Guilders were open and outstanding, on which a net unrealized loss of $196,000 had been recorded. These contracts expire through December 13, 1996. 15. LARGEST CUSTOMER Sales to the largest customer accounted for 9 percent of consolidated sales in 1995 and 1994. F-20 23 ITEM 7(b) PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IDEX CORPORATION AND FLUID MANAGEMENT UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 1996 AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements as of June 30, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1996 give effect to the acquisition by IDEX of the operating net assets of Fluid Management Limited Partnership ("FM") as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1995. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16. The historical financial data included in the pro forma statements is as of the periods presented. The historical financial data of FM included in the pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 was derived from audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995. The historical financial data of FM as of and for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was derived from unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The unaudited pro forma financial data is based on management's best estimate of the effects of the acquisition of FM. Pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information; however, the actual adjustments will be based on more precise appraisals, evaluations and estimates of fair values. It is possible that the actual adjustments could differ substantially from those presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995, the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition of FM been consummated as of the dates indicated, or that may be achieved in the future. The unaudited proforma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes and historical financial statements and notes thereto. FLUID MANAGEMENT -- SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 VS. 1995 Fluid Management's financial performance for the period January 1 to June 30, 1996, prior to the acquisition by IDEX, was adversely affected by several factors compared to the same period for the prior year. The gross profit margin was lower primarily due to start up costs associated with major new product introductions in the Netherlands and U.S. The relocation of an acquired product line and higher corporate expenses billed by the managing partnership also had an unfavorable effect on the current year six month comparative results. The change in foreign exchange gain/loss from period to period principally reflects the impact of Fluid Management's hedging activities.
