PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION FORM 10-K Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1997 PART I ITEM 1. Business. Parker-Hannifin Corporation is a leading worldwide full-line manufacturer of motion control products, including fluid power systems, electromechanical controls and related components. Fluid power involves the transfer and control of power through the medium of liquid, gas or air, in hydraulic, pneumatic and vacuum applications. Fluid power systems move and position materials, control machines, vehicles and equipment and improve industrial efficiency and productivity. Components of a simple fluid power system include a pump which generates pressure, valves which control the fluid's flow, an actuator which translates the pressure in the fluid into mechanical energy, a filter to remove contaminants and numerous hoses, couplings, fittings and seals. Electromechanical control involves the use of electronic components and systems to control motion and precisely locate or vary speed in automation applications. In addition to motion control products, the Company also is a leading worldwide producer of fluid purification, fluid flow, process instrumentation, air conditioning, refrigeration, and electromagnetic shielding and thermal management products. The Company was incorporated in Ohio in 1938. Its principal executive offices are located at 6035 Parkland Boulevard, Mayfield Heights, Ohio 44124-4141, telephone (216) 896-3000. As used in this Report, unless the context otherwise requires, the term "Company" or "Parker" refers to Parker-Hannifin Corporation and its subsidiaries. The Company's manufacturing, service, distribution and administrative facilities are located in 35 states, Puerto Rico and worldwide in 37 foreign countries. Its motion control technology is used in the products of its two business Segments: Industrial and Aerospace. The products are sold as original and replacement equipment through product and distribution centers worldwide. The Company markets its products through its direct-sales employees and more than 7,500 independent distributors. Parker products are supplied to over 350,000 customers in virtually every significant manufacturing, transportation and processing industry. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, net sales were $4,091,081,000; Industrial Segment products accounted for 79% of net sales and Aerospace Segment products for 21%. Markets Motion control systems are used throughout industry in applications which include moving of materials, controlling machines, vehicles and equipment and positioning materials during the manufacturing process. Motion control systems contribute to the efficient use of energy and improve industrial productivity. The more than 350,000 customers which purchase the Company's parts are found throughout virtually every significant manufacturing, transportation and processing industry. No customer accounted for more than 3% of the Company's total net sales for the fiscal year. - 3 - The major markets for products of the Fluid Connectors, Hydraulics, Automation, Seal and Filtration Groups of the Industrial Segment are agricultural machinery, automotive, construction equipment, electronic equipment, fabricated metals, food production, industrial machinery, lumber and paper, machine tools, marine, medical equipment, mining, mobile equipment, chemicals, robotics, semi-conductor equipment, textiles, transportation and every other major production and processing industry. Products manufactured by the Industrial Segment's Climate and Industrial Controls Group are utilized principally in automotive and mobile air conditioning systems, industrial refrigeration systems and home and commercial air conditioning equipment. The major markets for products manufactured by the Instrumentation Group of the Industrial Segment are power generation, oil and gas exploration, petrochemical and chemical processing, pulp and paper, semi-conductor manufacturing, medical and analytical applications. Sales of Industrial Segment products are made to original equipment manufacturers and their replacement markets. Aerospace Segment sales are made primarily to the commercial, military and general aviation markets and are made to original equipment manufacturers and to end users for maintenance, repair and overhaul. Principal Products, Methods of Distribution and Competitive Conditions Industrial Segment. The product lines of the Company's Industrial Segment cover most of the components of motion control systems. The Fluid Connectors Group manufactures connectors, including tube fittings and hose fittings, valves, hoses and couplers which control, transmit and contain fluid. The Hydraulics Group produces hydraulic components and systems for builders and users of industrial and mobile machinery and equipment, such as cylinders, accumulators, rotary actuators, valves, motors and pumps, hydrostatic steering units, power units, electrohydraulic systems and metering pumps. The Automation Group supplies pneumatic and electromechanical components and systems, including pneumatic valves, air preparation units, indexers, stepper and servo drives, multi-axis positioning tables, electric and pneumatic cylinders, structural extrusions, vacuum products and pneumatic logic. The Climate and Industrial Controls Group manufactures components for use in industrial, residential and automotive air conditioning and refrigeration systems and other automotive applications, including pressure regulators, solenoid valves, expansion valves, filter-dryers, gerotors and hose assemblies. The Seal Group manufactures sealing devices, including o-rings and o- seals, gaskets and packings which insure leak proof connections and electromagnetic interference shielding and thermal management products. The Filtration Group manufactures filters to remove contaminants from fuel, air, oil, water and other fluids and gases in industrial, process, mobile, marine and environmental applications.

Approximately 79% of the Company's backlog at June 30, 1997 is scheduled for delivery in the succeeding twelve months. The Company's business generally is not seasonal in nature. Environmental Regulation The Company is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect the environment and to regulate the discharge of materials into the environment. Among other environmental laws, the Company is subject to the federal "Superfund" law, under which the Company has been designated as a "potentially responsible party" and may be liable for clean up costs associated with various waste sites, some of which are on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Superfund priority list. The Company believes that its policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and the consequent financial liability to the Company. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations requires continuing management effort and expenditures by the Company. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations has not had in the past, and, the Company believes, will not have in the future, material effects on the capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position of the Company.
