Report of Independent Auditors
Corporate Benefits Committee
Robbins & Myers, Inc. Employee Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Robbins & Myers,
Inc. Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the
years then ended, 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 assets available for plan benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in its assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
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 for the year ending December 31, 1996, and transactions or
series of transactions in excess of 5 percent of the current value of plan
assets for the year ending December 31, 1996 are presented for purposes of
complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are
not a required part of the financial statements. The supplemental schedules have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1996
1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The Robbins & Myers, Inc. Savings Plan for Salaried Employees of Chemineer,
Edlon, and Pfaudler merged with the Robbins & Myers, Inc. Employee Savings Plan
effective December 31, 1995. As a result of this merger, $10,674,170 of assets
formerly held in the Robbins & Myers Inc. Employee Savings Plan were transferred
to the Robbins & Myers, Inc. Savings Plan for Salaried Employees of Chemineer,
Edlon, and Pfaudler and the Plan name was changed to the Robbins & Myers, Inc.
Employee Savings Plan (the 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
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%
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.

1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED)
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.
All assets of the Plan are held by the trustee.
INVESTMENT VALUATION
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 Vanguard
Investment Contract Trust are valued at their contract value which approximate
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. Realized gains and losses on securities represent the
difference between the proceeds received and the average cost of securities
sold. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities represents the
difference between the current value and the cost of the investment and is
reflected in the statement of changes in assets available for plan benefits as a
part of unrealized and realized appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of
investments.
MANAGEMENT'S USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.
Estimates also affect the reported amounts of changes in net assets during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
