Item 1. Business
- ----------------

Farr Company and its subsidiaries  (hereinafter  collectively referred to as the
"Company" or "Registrant") are engaged in the design, development,  manufacture,
sale and service of filters and filtration systems.  These products are used for
a  wide  variety  of  applications,   including  heating,  ventilation  and  air
conditioning systems,  manufacturing and process cleanrooms, special application
filters for original  equipment  manufacturers,  diesel-powered  truck  engines,
railroad  locomotives,  dust  collection  systems and gas  turbines.  Air filter
efficiencies range from 20 percent in disposable products to 99.9999+ percent in
cleanroom  products.  Products are available as standard  items or may be custom
engineered.  They range in size and complexity from a small throwaway air filter
to large gas turbine systems with a single filter  component  module weighing in
excess of twenty tons.

All of the  Company's  filter  products  incorporate  at least one of five basic
methods of  filtration.  These  include  strainer  type filters  which block the
passage of  particles  through  the use of various  types of  materials  such as
paper, non-woven cotton fabric, fiberglass and metal screening;  impingement and
diffusion  type filters  which  consist of layers of various  types of screening
materials  sometimes  with an oil coating  that traps dust  particles;  inertial
separators  which  filter high  velocity  air by  changing  its  direction;  and
activated carbon filters which absorb odors and gases. Paper, fabric, fiberglass
and carbon filters are disposable and the Company sells replacements.

Many products  manufactured by the Company are enclosed in hardware ranging from
simple frames to large component  modules weighing in excess of twenty tons. The
percentage  of the Company's  total sales  involving  the  fabrication  of large
enclosures  used  in  special   filtration  and  noise  abatement   systems  was
approximately 4 percent in 1995, 6 percent in 1994 and 13 percent in 1993. These
products  are  sold  primarily  for  use  with  gas  turbine   installations  in
applications in the electrical generating, oil and gas industries.

The Company also  maintains  and services air  filtration  systems and accessory
equipment in buildings and industrial plants in Southern California and Phoenix,
Arizona. This service includes replacing disposable filters.

The  Company  was  organized  in  California  in 1938,  and in 1987 the  Company
reincorporated in Delaware.

                                       2



Materials 
- ---------

The principal materials used in manufacturing the Company's products are ferrous
and non-ferrous materials, plastisols, urethanes, adhesives and certain finished
and semi-finished filter materials,  including screen,  activated carbon, cotton
fibers,  paper and fiberglass.  The Company does not depend on any single source
for a significant portion of its raw materials.

Product Engineering and Development 
- -----------------------------------

At December 30, 1995, the Company employed approximately 43 engineers, draftsmen
and technicians in the United States,  Canada and England to improve and develop
existing  products,  to design,  develop  and test new  products  and to improve
production equipment and techniques. The Company spent approximately $2,251,000,
$2,221,000 and $2,048,000 for product engineering and development in 1995, 1994,
and 1993, respectively.

The Company  owns a number of United  States and foreign  patents.  Although the
Company  considers these patents to be of value in its operations,  its business
is not dependent on any single patent or group of patents.

Sales and Distribution 
- ----------------------

The  Company's  products are sold  throughout  the United  States and in over 40
foreign  countries  through  salesmen  working  out of field  sales  offices and
through various distributors and manufacturers' representatives.

Certain of the  Company's  products are  manufactured  and sold under  licensing
agreements with  manufacturers  located in Argentina,  Australia,  France,  Hong
Kong, India, Indonesia,  Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore,
Taiwan and Venezuela.

During 1995, no customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales.

Backlog 
- -------

The Company's  backlog at December 30, 1995 was $16,017,000 up from  $13,455,000
at December 31, 1994.

Historically, backlog has not been a significant measure of the Company's future
business  activities since the majority of orders are shipped within  forty-five
to sixty days of  receipt.  During  1995,  approximately  5.1% of the  Company's
business was derived from products with lead times longer than sixty days.

These  products are  primarily  heavy  fabrication  products such as gas turbine
equipment.  The backlog of orders  relating to heavy  fabrication  products  was
approximately  $4,611,000  and  $1,903,000 at December 30, 1995 and December 31,
1994,  respectively.  All of the  December  30, 1995 backlog  is  scheduled  for
delivery during 1996.

                                       3



International Operations 
- ------------------------

The Company engages in operations in foreign  countries as described  above. For
information  regarding the geographic  distribution,  revenue,  operating profit
(loss) and  identifiable  assets of the  Company's  domestic  and  international
operations, see Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,  included
in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders,  which is incorporated herein by
reference.

The  Company's  international  operations  are subject to the  additional  risks
inherent  in  doing  business  in  countries  whose  governments  have  policies
different than those of the United States.  To date the Company has  experienced
no material problems in foreign countries arising from political  instability or
currency restrictions or fluctuations.

Competition 
- -----------

The fields in which the Company  operates are highly  competitive  with numerous
other companies manufacturing and selling competing products.  While information
with  respect to the  industry  ranking of the Company  among  manufacturers  of
similar  products is not  available,  the Company  believes  that its  principal
competitors in most of its major product areas are American Air Filter  Company,
Inc.,  a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  Snyder  General  Corporation,  Donaldson
Company,  Inc.  and Clarcor,  Inc. A number of the  Company's  competitors  have
larger  sales and greater  financial  resources  than the  Company.  The Company
believes  the  principal  competitive  factors in the sale of its  products  are
technical  competence,  quality  and  the  ability  to  respond  to  the  unique
individual requirements of its customers.

Employees 
- ---------

At March 8, 1996, the Company had  approximately  1,299 employees as compared to
approximately 1,244 on February 28, 1995.

The Company's 5 drivers and  warehousemen  at its El Segundo  service office are
covered by a collective  bargaining  agreement  with the  Teamsters  Union which
expires on February 6, 1997;  32  employees  at the  Company's  Delano plant are
covered  by a  collective  bargaining  agreement  with the Sheet  Metal  Workers
International  Association  which  expires  June 30,  1998.  At  March 8,  1996,
approximately 114 employees at the Company's Montreal, Canada plant were covered
by a three year  collective  bargaining  agreement  expiring August 31, 1997 and
approximately  28  employees at the  Company's  Birmingham,  England  plant were
covered by a collective bargaining agreement that expires on December 31, 1996.
