                         Report of Independent Auditors


Corporate Benefits Committee
Robbins & Myers, Inc. Employee Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Robbins & Myers, Inc. Employee Savings Plan 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 schedules of assets
held for investment purpose at end of year as of December 31, 2000 and
reportable transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements but
are 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. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to auditing
procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.

1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The Robbins & Myers, Inc. Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) is a defined
contribution plan which covers salaried employees of Robbins & Myers, Inc. (the
Company) and its U.S. subsidiaries. Each year, participants can make
contributions of between 1 percent and 12 percent of pretax annual compensation,
as defined by the Plan. The Company contributes a minimum of 40 percent of an
employee's annual contribution and may elect to make up to an additional 20
percent contribution at year-end. Only the first 6 percent of an employee's
annual compensation is eligible for the employer's match.

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and any earnings on
these contributions. Matching contributions made by the Company 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
allocation of (a) the Company's contribution and (b) Plan earnings.
Participant's direct the investment of their contributions and earnings thereon
between the investment options provided by the Plan. Company contributions are
invested in the Company's common stock. 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 investment are paid by the fund to
which the costs are attributable. All other expenses are paid by the Company.

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 balances.



                                                                               4

1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED)

Effective January 1, 2000, the Flow Control Equipment, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan
(the FCE Plan) was merged into the Plan. The assets of the FCE Plan were
transferred to the Savings Plan at a fair market value of approximately $5.9
million.

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 available 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 that represent the net
asset values of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The units of the common
collective trust (Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust) are based on quoted
redemption values on the last business day of the Plan year. Participant loans
are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximates fair value.

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

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


3. INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
dated November 4, 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:

                                                       2000             1999
