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. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP May 11, 2001 1 4 Robbins & Myers, Inc.

Employee Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 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 7 Robbins & Myers, Inc. Employee Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 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 8 Robbins & Myers, Inc. Employee Savings Plan 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 -------------------------------- Robbins & Myers, Inc.
