Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
I. Results of Operations
Quarter ended November 2, 1996 compared to quarter ended October 28, 1995
Sales for the quarter increased 8 1/2% (11 1/2% in local currency) compared to
the same quarter last year. Of the increase, approximately $5 million was
related to the acquisition of Medsep Corporation and there were no price
increases during the quarter.
By market segment, Fluid Processing grew 14% in local currency. Within Fluid
Processing, Microelectronics grew 10% and Hydrocarbon, Chemical and Polymer grew
41%. The Health Care market segment grew 12% in local currency. By subsegment,
Patient Protection and Pharmaceutical, grew 18 1/2% and 11%, respectively.
Growth in the Aeropower market segment was 8%. By subsegment, Industrial
Hydraulics grew 15% and Commercial Aerospace grew 20%; however, Military
Aerospace was down 25%.
By geography, Asia and Australia grew 24% in local currency, followed by 12% in
the Western Hemisphere and 4 1/2% in Europe. Growth in Europe was held back by
Germany where sales declined by 3%.
Cost of sales for the quarter increased to 40.0% from 39.4% last year. The
increase in cost of sales is mainly due to product mix and the negative effect
of foreign currency exchange rates. Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased from 41.0% last year to 40.2% this year, as sales grew at a rate
faster than selling, general and administrative expenses. The pretax profit
margin increased to 13.9% from 13.4% last year. The tax rate for the current
quarter was 30% compared to 31% last year. The Company anticipates using a 30%
tax rate for the remainder of the year. Net earnings quarter-on-quarter grew by
13 1/2%.
II. Liquidity and Capital Resources
Borrowings, net of cash and short-term investments at the end of the quarter are
at $96.5 million, which is about the same as at the end of fiscal 1996. Capital
expenditures for the quarter were $22 million and depreciation expense was $12.5
million.

On October 27, 1996 the Company signed a definitive merger agreement with Gelman
Sciences Inc. Shareholders of Gelman will receive Pall common stock having a
value of $33.00 for each share of Gelman common stock if the average closing
price of Pall shares has been between $25.29 and $27.96 during the period of 30
trading days ending on the third business day before the Gelman shareholders'
meeting. If during that 30-day period the average closing price of Pall has been
$25.29 or less, the exchange ratio will be 1.3047 Pall shares for each Gelman
share, and if the average closing price has been $27.96 or more, the exchange
ratio will be 1.1804 Pall shares for each Gelman share. If the average Pall
closing price during that period is less than $21.00, Gelman will have the right
to terminate the merger agreement. The merger, which is subject to the approval
of Gelman's shareholders, is intended to be a tax free reorganization to the
Gelman shareholders and accounted for as a pooling of interests. Based on the
Gelman shares outstanding on the date the definitive agreement was signed, the
total value of the transaction is approximated at $270 million. The closing of
the merger is expected to take place during the second or third quarter of
fiscal 1997. The Company anticipates that there will be merger related expenses
when the transaction closes and a one-time charge related to the reorganization
of the two companies upon consummation of the transaction. The Company has just
recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration
statement in connection with the Gelman merger.
On October 29, 1996 the Board of Directors of the Company withdrew its
authorization for the balance of the expenditure of up to $40 million to buy
back the Company's own shares. Under this program, announced February 28, 1996,
the Company had already spent $10 million (433,000 shares). No additional shares
were bought in the current quarter.
