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, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in its assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made 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 as of December 31, 1998, and Schedule of Reportable Transactions for the year ended December 31, 1998, 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 audit of the 1998 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 1998 financial statements taken as a whole.

PLAN AMENDMENTS AND RESTATEMENT The Commercial Intertech 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Commercial Intertech Retirement Stock Ownership and Savings Plan and the merger of the Cylinder City Savings and Retirement Plan, both effective September 1, 1997. Prior to the Plan merger, the Commercial Intertech Corp. (the "Company") matching portion of the Plan was transferred, effective September 1, 1997, to the Commercial Intertech Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"). On June 16, 1997, the Plan was amended to allow participation by eligible employees on and after the first day of the first month following the date the employee completes the earlier of (1) six months and 500 hours of eligible service or (2) one year of eligible service. This amendment was effective January 1, 1997, and did not have a significant impact on the assets available for benefits. Effective January 1, 1999, the Plan was amended to allow participation by eligible employees on and after the first day of the first month following the date the employee reaches age 18 and completes six months of eligibility service. This amendment is not expected to have a significant impact on the assets available for benefits. B. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN The Plan consists of a pre-tax savings program, under which participants may elect to contribute up to 18% of their compensation, on a tax-deferred basis, into the Plan. Prior to September 1, 1997, the Plan consisted of a pre-tax savings program allowing contributions up to 15% of a participant's compensation, a post-tax program under which participants could contribute up to an additional 10% of their compensation, and a leveraged matching employee stock ownership plan. Participant contributions are subject to IRS limitations. Employee contributions are accrued as income by the Plan on a monthly basis. The Company contributes, into the ESOP, 50% (made in Commercial Intertech Corp. Preferred and Common shares as needed) of the first 6% of eligible compensation that a participant contributes into the Plan on a tax-deferred basis. Prior to September 1, 1997, Company matching contributions were made directly into the leveraged matching portion of the Plan. Post-tax contributions were made with after-tax dollars and did not receive Company matching contributions. 4 8 Commercial Intertech 401(k) Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) B. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED) The Plan is subject to the applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). The leveraged matching employee stock ownership features of the Plan were designed to comply with Section 4975 (e) (7) and the regulations thereunder of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code"). The Plan provides for separate investment options in one or more funds as directed by the participants. Participants may change investment options at any time. With the exception of the Commercial Intertech Common Stock Fund, all-new investment options were offered effective September 1, 1997. At December 31, 1998, 519 individuals participated in the Commercial Intertech Common Stock Fund, 556 individuals participated in the Benham Stable Asset Fund, 179 individuals participated in the Benham GNMA Fund, 133 individuals participated in the American Century Strategic Allocation: Conservative Fund, 267 individuals participated in the American Century Strategic Allocation: Moderate Fund, 279 individuals participated in the American Century Strategic Allocation: Aggressive Fund, 486 individuals participated in the Barclays Equity Index Fund, 341 individuals participated in the American Century Value Fund, 652 individuals participated in the American Century Equity Growth Fund, 797 individuals participated in the Twentieth Century Ultra Fund, 239 individuals participated in the Twentieth Century Vista Fund, and 489 individuals participated in the Twentieth Century International Growth Fund.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED) All investment account dollars that result from employee contributions and related investment results are immediately vested. There were no non-vested assets in the Plan attributable to terminated employees at December 31, 1998. The Plan also provides for withdrawal in cases of financial hardship, upon attainment of age 59-1/2, and of the post-tax savings program contributions. Participating employees may borrow up to the lesser of 50% of their account balance attributable to employee contributions or $50,000. The amount borrowed is repaid to the participant's account via payroll deductions and carries an interest charge at the market rate of interest at the date of the loan. The Plan is administered by the Administrative Committee (the "Committee") appointed by the Company's Board of Directors. The trust department of UMB Bank, an independent third-party bank, is the Plan's trustee. The Company has the sole right to appoint the trustee, and to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA. The Company pays all significant administrative expenses. Upon termination of the Plan, amounts credited to each participant's account shall be 100% vested and nonforfeitable. Additionally, the interest of each participant in the trust fund will be distributed to such participant or his or her beneficiary at the time prescribed by the Plan terms and the Code. The foregoing description of the Plan provides only general information. Additional information about the Plan agreement, forfeitures and distributions from the Plan may be obtained from the Committee. C. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis. 6 10 Commercial Intertech 401(k) Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) C. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS Investments consisting of common shares of Commercial Intertech Corp. are carried at the closing market price on the last business day of the Plan's year. Investments in registered investment company funds (Benham GNMA Fund, Twentieth Century Strategic Allocation: Conservative, Moderate, and Aggressive Funds, American Century Value and Equity Growth Funds, and Twentieth Century Ultra, Vista, and International Growth Funds) and in common/collective trusts (Benham Stable Asset Fund, Barclays Equity Index Fund) are carried at the value of their underlying assets as of the last business day of the Plan's year as determined by their respective Investment Managers. Participant loans receivable are valued at cost which approximates fair value. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 7 11 Commercial Intertech 401(k) Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) D.

EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS Effective September 1, 1997, the Company is obligated to make matching contributions in cash to the ESOP which, when aggregated with the ESOP's dividends on Preferred Shares and interest earnings, equal the amount necessary to enable the ESOP to make its regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest due on its Notes. This contribution enables the ESOP to allocate an appropriate number of Preferred Shares to participants (see Note B). Should the value of Preferred Shares allocated be less than the required matching contribution, the Company will make additional contributions to the ESOP in the form of common stock or cash. Should the value of Preferred Shares allocated be more than the required matching contributions, any excess value of Preferred Shares released over the required amount will be allocated proportionately to each participant's account in the ESOP based upon the ratio of the participant's current Company matching contribution to the ESOP for the Plan year to the aggregate Company matching contributions to the ESOP for all participants for the Plan year. Prior to September 1, 1997, employer contributions were made to the Plan on the same basis as described above. On September 16, 1998, the Company made a one-time contribution of $5,773 to the Plan, which was allocated to certain Plan participants that were active participants in the Cylinder City Savings and Retirement Plan (see Note A) in 1995. The corrective contribution was made to allow that plan to satisfy the actual deferral percentage test under Section 401(k)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code for the plan year ended December 31, 1995, and does not affect the current tax status of the Plan. J. YEAR 2000 ISSUE (UNAUDITED) The Plan Sponsor has developed a plan to modify its internal information technology to be ready for the Year 2000 and has begun converting critical data processing systems.
