                         Report of Independent Auditors


Corporate Benefits Committee
Robbins & Myers, Inc. Savings Plan for Union Employees

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Robbins & Myers, Inc. Savings Plan for Union Employees as of December 31,
2000 and 1999 and related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 2000 as listed in the table of
contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets
held for investment purposes at end of year as of December 31, 2000 is presented
for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial
statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the
responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been
subjected to auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Robbins & Myers, Inc. (the Company) Savings Plan for Union Employees (the
Plan) is a defined contribution plan, which covers hourly employees of Pfaudler,
Inc., Chemineer, Inc., and Moyno Industrial Products, who are covered by
collective bargaining agreements at their United States operations.

Each year, participants can make pre-tax and/or after-tax basis contributions up
to a maximum of 12 percent of annual compensation as defined in the Plan. For
Pfaudler employees, the plan sponsor contributes an additional 50 percent of the
first 6 percent of each participant's compensation that the participant elects
to contribute. For Moyno Industrial Products employees, the plan sponsor
contributes an additional 10 percent of the first 6 percent of each
participant's compensation. The plan sponsor does not make any matching
contributions for employees of Chemineer.

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and any earnings on
these contributions. Employees of Pfaudler, Inc. are 100% vested in employer
matching contributions immediately. Matching contributions made by the Company
for Moyno Industrial Products employees become vested as follows:

                                                           VESTING
            YEARS OF VESTING SERVICE                      PERCENTAGE
          ----------------------------------------------------------

          Less than 1 year                                     0%
          1 year but less than 2 years                        20%
          2 years but less than 3 years                       40%
          3 years but less than 4 years                       60%
          4 years but less than 5 years                       80%
          5 years or more                                    100%

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and
allocations of (a) the Company's contributions and (b) plan earnings. All
amounts in participant accounts are invested in the Plan's investment options as
directed by the participants. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is
the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account.

Brokerage fees and other direct costs of investments are paid by the fund to
which the costs are attributable. All other expenses are paid by the Company.



                                                                               4

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

Although it has not expressed an intent to do so, the Company has the right to
discontinue its contributions at any time and terminate the Plan subject to the
provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become
100 percent vested in their accounts.

The foregoing description of the Plan provides only general information.
Additional information about the plan agreement is contained in the Summary Plan
Description. Copies are from the Corporate Benefits Committee.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The Plan maintains its accounting records on the accrual basis of accounting.

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. The shares of registered
investment companies are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net
asset values of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The units of the common
collective trust (the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust) are based on redemption
values on the last business day of the Plan year.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.



                                                                               5

                                December 31, 2000


3. INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
dated November 5, 1996, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust is
exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in
conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Corporate Benefits
Committee believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and
the related trust is tax exempt.

4. INVESTMENTS

The fair value of individual investments that represent 5 percent or more of the
Plan's fair value of assets available for benefits as of December 31 is as
follows:
