      Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

1.     Basis of Presentation

       The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet was prepared
using the historical balance sheet of the company as of April 2, 2005, and
Kendro as of March 31, 2005. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
statements of income were prepared using the historical statements of income of
the company for the three months ended April 2, 2005, and for the year ended
December 31, 2004, and of Kendro for the three months ended March 31, 2005, and
for the year ended December 31, 2004.

       The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the
year ended December 31, 2004, was adjusted to exclude the operating results of
Kendro's Carr BioProcessing ("BioProcessing") product line, which was sold by
Kendro in November 2004.

2.     Acquisition Financing

       The purchase price for Kendro was $833.5 million in cash, net of cash
acquired, subject to a post-closing adjustment. The company initially funded the
purchase price for the acquisition with cash on hand and $570 million in
proceeds under a 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
Subsequently, the company paid down $61 million of the revolving credit facility
with cash. The company refinanced the remaining balance of the revolving credit
facility using a combination of short- and long-term debt instruments. As of
July 6, 2005, the debt instruments in place to finance the acquisition consisted
of $250 million aggregate principal amount of 5% Senior Notes due 2015, $80
million of short-term money market loans and $179 million of short-term
borrowings under a revolving credit facility in Europe.

3.     Purchase Price Allocation

       The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect a
purchase price of $833.5 million, net of cash acquired, plus $3.75 million of
estimated transaction costs. The purchase price is subject to a post-closing
balance sheet adjustment. The cash paid to SPX for Kendro initially consisted of
$833.5 million plus $8.7 million for bank cash balances at the closing date. At
that date, Kendro had a book cash balance of $2.6 million, reflecting checks
written immediately prior to the closing. The difference between the bank cash
and book cash at the acquisition date will be reimbursed to the company through
the post-closing adjustment process.

       The allocation of the purchase price was based on estimates of the fair
value of the net assets acquired and is subject to adjustment upon finalization
of the purchase price allocation. The Company is in the process of obtaining
real estate appraisals for owned facilities. Adjustments to the fair value of
Kendro's fixed assets could result. The company is evaluating potential
restructuring actions that may be undertaken at Kendro or within existing
businesses with which Kendro is being integrated. Such actions may include
rationalizing product lines, consolidation of facilities and reductions in
staffing levels. The company will record the cost of restructuring actions at
Kendro as an increase to goodwill when decisions are made as to the extent of
such actions. Costs of restructuring actions at existing businesses will be
recorded to expense. The company expects to finalize its restructuring plan no
later than one year following completion of the Kendro acquisition.

              facility in Europe and related interest expense.

              classified as a current asset.
