10 NOTE D - Additional Information For a more adequate understanding of the Company's financial position, operating results, business properties and other matters, reference is made to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2001. Net earnings as reported was used in computing both basic EPS and diluted EPS without further adjustment. The Company does not have a complex capital structure. Accordingly, the entire difference between basic weighted average shares and diluted weighted average shares results from non-vested restricted stock and assumed stock option exercises. The diluted EPS computation was made using the treasury stock method. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at current market value. Net unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities available for sale are credited or charged to Other Comprehensive Earnings. At June 30, 2001 the fair value, cost basis and gross unrealized gains on available-for-sales securities are approximately $1.2 million, $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively. In June 2000, the FASB issued statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities -- an Amendments of FASB Statement No. 133", effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company has adopted the statement and it has not had an impact on the consolidated results of operations or financial position and related disclosure requirements. Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (1) MATERIAL CHANGES IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION: The Company's liquidity increased during the first half of 2001 as compared to the position at December 31, 2000. Proceeds from dispositions ($358.9) net of the amounts invested in acquisitions ($236.3 million) are the principal reason for the increase in liquidity. Working capital increased from $370.2 million at the end of last year to $802.6 million at June 30, 2001, due principally to a reduction in short-term notes payable. Capital expenditures were $103.0 million for the first half of 2001 compared to $77.3 million last year. The working capital increase and capital expenditures were funded by internal cash flow. At June 30, 2001, net debt (defined as long-term debt plus current maturities on long-term debt plus notes payable less cash and equivalents and marketable securities) of $1,062.8 million represented 29.4% of total capital. This compares with 34.5% at December 31, 2000. The Company continues to be rated A-1 by Standard & Poors and P-1 by Moody's. The Company believes its significant free cash flow will enable it to fund internal growth and, together with modest debt utilization, fund its acquisition program. The Company also believes it will continue to maintain a solid credit profile. The Company filed a shelf registration for the possible issuance of up to $1 billion in senior debt securities on October 5th, 2000. The Company believes this will provide flexibility to issue public debt rapidly depending on market conditions or financing needs. On February 12, 2001 the Company completed its underwritten offering of $400.0 million, 6.50% notes due February 15, 2011. The proceeds were used to reduce short-term debt. 10 of 18

11 The Company completed one stand-alone and three add-on acquisitions during the quarter at a combined cost of $156.5 million. DOVER CORPORATION ACQUISITIONS - SECOND QUARTER 2001 DATE TYPE ACQUIRED COMPANIES LOCATION (NEAR) SEGMENT - OPERATING CO. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 31-MAR STOCK TISMA MACHINERY CORPORATION ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL DDI SWF Manufactures and designs automated packaging machinery used in forming, packing and sealing of corrugated packages. 31-MAY ASSET KURZ-KASCH, INC. DAYTON, OH DII STAND-ALONE Manufactures coil based electro magnetic switches and sensors that are encapsulated in thermo set plastic. 31-MAY STOCK MULTI-TEST AG ROSENHEIM, GERMANY DTI ECT Manufactures semiconductor test handling equipment. 20-JUN STOCK MARKPOINT HOLDING AB GOTEBORG, SWEDEN DTI IMAJE Manufactures and designs marking solutions for packaging industries. The profit impact in 2001, of these acquisitions, will be small due to acquisition write-offs, and imputed financing costs. Acquisitions completed in the last twelve months (May 1, 2000 - June 30, 2001) added $124.4 million in sales and $16.1 million in operational profit in the first half of 2001. (2) MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: The Company earned $.70 per diluted share in the second quarter ended June 30, 2001. Of this total, the gains on the DovaTech welding equipment group and AC Compressor divestitures contributed $.45 per diluted share to the quarter's results. Excluding these gains, earnings in the quarter were $.25 per diluted share, a decrease of 63% from the $.67 per diluted share earned in the comparable quarter last year. Sales in the second quarter were $1.14 billion, a 17% decline from $1.38 billion last year, and segment earnings for the quarter were $106.5 million, down 55% or $131.6 million from $238.1 million last year. Excluding the gains on sales of businesses, net income from continuing operations for the second quarter was $50.2 million, down 63% or $86.6 million from $136.7 million last year. The dominant reason for the sales and earnings decline was the impact of the downturn in the electronics industry on Dover Technologies, where income totaled $.5 million, compared to $110.3 million last year, on a 43% or $225.5 million sales decline. The other three market segments also had earnings declines due to the weak general economic environment. Dover Industries and Dover Diversified's earnings declined by 24% and 18% respectively, on lower sales, and Dover Resources' earnings declined 6% on a 12% sales increase. Except for Technologies, all segments reported higher sales and earnings than the first quarter. The Company completed one stand-alone and three add-on acquisitions during the quarter at a combined investment of $156.5 million. The net income impact of these acquisitions in the second quarter was small due to acquisition-related amortization and depreciation, which are typically higher in the first year after acquisition. Acquisitions completed in the last twelve months added $59 million in sales and $7 million in operating profit in the second quarter. The Company also reports its pretax earnings on an EBITACQ basis (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, and non-cash charges arising from purchase accounting for Acquisitions). Second quarter EBITACQ of $123 million was 51% lower than the prior year's second quarter. The high overall book tax rate for the quarter of 43.0% resulted from the lack of tax deductibility of a substantial goodwill amount included in the divestiture transactions. The divestitures resulted in a pre-tax 11 of 18

12 gain of $172.4 million, tax expense of $79.2 million and a net book gain of $93.1 million. The after-tax proceeds from the divestitures were $279.4 million. The Company's tax rate for the second quarter, excluding the impact of the disposition gains, was 36.7% compared to 30.8% for the first quarter and 32.5% for the full year 2000. This high tax rate on operating results was due to losses in low tax rate jurisdictions, primarily in Technologies. Through the end of the second quarter, the Company invested $239.4 million in acquisitions compared to the $358.9 million divestiture proceeds. The earnings per share impact of these acquisitions on the second half of 2001 will not fully offset the earnings per share contribution that the divested companies would have made on the second half had they been retained. This difference is approximately $.05 per diluted share for the second half of 2001. However, the comparative earnings impact of the acquired businesses is expected to be substantially accretive to earnings in 2002. As a result of the favorable impact of the second quarter divestitures on book equity and the cash proceeds from the sales, which were used to reduce debt and fund acquisitions, The Company's net debt to capitalization ratio declined to 29.4%, its lowest level since December 1999. This will provide substantial flexibility for profitable reinvestment. Repurchases of 192,000 shares in the open market were completed in the second quarter at an average price of $35.92. DOVER TECHNOLOGIES: Dover Technologies' second quarter sales decreased 43% or $225.5 million to $301.9 million, and earnings were $.5 million compared to $110.3 million in the same period last year. These results are due to the continued dramatic decline in the electronics industry served by the Circuit Board Assembly and Test (CBAT) and Specialty Electronics Components (SEC) businesses. Acquisitions completed in the last year added approximately $28 million to sales in the quarter, with no material impact on segment earnings after acquisition write-offs. In Technologies' CBAT business, second quarter sales decreased 59% or $208.7 million to $147.4 million, and for the quarter CBAT reported a loss of $18.9 million, compared to earnings of $73.6 million in the same period last year. Bookings, at $128.9 million, were down 67% from the same period last year and were 31% lower than the first quarter of 2001. The book-to-bill ratio was .87 for the second quarter. While all CBAT companies (which all manufacture capital equipment used to build or test circuit boards or semiconductors) experienced very weak markets after what was clearly a period of unsustainably robust customer spending last year, the impact at Universal Instruments, CBAT's largest company, was particularly pronounced. Sales levels at Universal have declined precipitously to a quarterly level not seen since the first quarter of 1993. Sales in the second quarter were merely 25% of the level experienced as recently as the third quarter last year. The magnitude and speed of this change has driven Universal into a quarterly loss position for the first time in its history. Though headcount reductions and other efforts to reduce costs rapidly to restore profitability continue, appropriate focus is also being given to sustaining the business for the still positive longer-term future in this market. Universal's book-to-bill ratio for the quarter was .95 (higher than the CBAT average), and while June was the strongest bookings month of the quarter, no clear signs of recovery in this market are yet visible. If the market does not recover this year, Universal will remain unprofitable for the balance of the year. Declining backlogs in the rest of CBAT, which was profitable in the quarter, are unlikely to be sufficient to offset these losses. In total, CBAT losses are currently expected to be in the same range in the third quarter. In Technologies' SEC business, sales declined 15% or $18.7 million from the same period last year to $102.3 million, and earnings declined 52% or $11.7 million to $10.9 million. Net bookings in the second quarter of $44.4 million were down 76% from last year, and the book-to-bill ratio was .43 for the quarter. SEC's customer concentration in the datacom/telecom/networking markets drove growth last year, but has now resulted in a dramatic decline in bookings and backlog as those markets decline. SEC is also responding to the rapid change in market conditions with appropriate cost reductions, while continuing to invest in product development linked to specific customer requirements. However, it is unclear at this time when market demand will improve, and with declining backlogs, earnings will be lower in the third quarter. Imaje, the French-based industrial ink-jet printer and ink manufacturing portion of this segment, with slightly lower earnings on sales approaching prior year levels, had substantially higher sales, earnings and bookings than the first quarter. 12 of 18

13 DOVER INDUSTRIES: Dover Industries' second quarter sales declined 8% or $26.9 million to $299.4 million and segment income declined 24% or $12.1 million to $39.4 million compared to the same period last year. Segment bookings were down 2% to $299.7 million and the book-to-bill ratio was 1.00. Acquisitions completed in the last year added approximately $10 million to sales in the quarter, with almost no impact on segment earnings after acquisition write-offs. Most of Industries' companies had lower sales and earnings as compared to the prior year due to weaker economic conditions in their markets. However, Industries' combined earnings and margins were slightly higher than the first quarter, with a majority of Industries' companies contributing to this favorable comparison. Heil Environmental's sales and earnings, while not quite as robust as the very strong prior year, recovered markedly from the first quarter's slow start. However, the full year will lag last year in a much weaker market. Heil Trailer's sales, profit and bookings performance compared favorably to both a weak comparable period last year and the prior quarter, and with this long awaited favorable trend comparison and a favorable book-to-bill in the quarter comes guarded optimism that this depressed market may be recovering slightly. Rotary Lift's performance matched last year's second quarter and the first quarter this year despite weak markets, with effective new products, marketing programs and cost reduction, and PDQ outperformed previous periods for the same reasons. Tipper Tie still suffers from the impact of disease scares on its primary meat packing markets. Triton's earnings comparisons to the prior year were very unfavorable, and it is focused on several product, marketing and manufacturing improvements. DOVER DIVERSIFIED: Dover Diversified's second quarter sales declined 5% or $15.5 million from the prior year to $294.9 million, and segment income decreased 18% or $7.8 million to $36.4 million compared to the same period last year. Sales were up 7% from the first quarter and earnings improved more sharply in the absence of inventory write-offs at Crenlo. Segment bookings in the quarter were up 10% to $324.3 million and the book-to-bill ratio was favorable at 1.10. Backlog at the end of the quarter, after adjusting for divestitures, was 15% ahead of last year. Acquisitions completed in the last year added approximately $11 million to sales in the quarter, with almost no impact on segment earnings after acquisition write-offs. AC Compressor, divested at the end of May, had recently contributed between 5 and 10% of segment sales with lower than average margins. While many of Diversified's companies also experienced difficult conditions in their markets, most also had higher margins than in the prior quarter. Hill Phoenix, though operating in a tough market, turned in favorable sales, earnings and bookings comparisons to both last year and the prior quarter, and expects an even stronger second half. Waukesha, Performance Motorsports, Sargent, and SWF again turned in stronger earnings than the same period last year in satisfactory market environments, with the latter two of these also showing improvement from more recent trends. Crenlo reported losses in the quarter compared to strong profits in the prior year and is realigning its cost structure in the current weak market. Belvac's market also remains challenging. DOVER RESOURCES: Dover Resources' second quarter sales increased 12% or $26.5 million to $244.0 million, and segment earnings declined 6% or $1.9 million to $30.1 million, compared to the same period last year. Segment bookings in the quarter were up 10% to $241.7 million and the book-to-bill ratio was .99. Acquisitions completed in the last year added approximately $9 million to sales in the quarter, with almost no impact on segment earnings after acquisition write-offs. Those Resources companies serving the energy production markets (Petroleum Equipment Group, Quartzdyne, and C. Lee Cook), all reported higher sales and earnings than in the comparable period last year as they continue to benefit from the strong energy markets they serve. Outside of the "oil patch", OPW Fueling Components' cost improvement efforts in a still difficult market are driving favorable comparisons to the prior period, and Tulsa Winch (the winch industry "roll-up") continues to benefit from acquisition synergies and some pockets of market strength. The balance of Resources' businesses 13 of 18

14 serving the process industries, the automotive industry, and general industrial and transportation markets, were adversely impacted by weak economic conditions. OUTLOOK: The challenges presented by the unexpectedly severe downturn in the electronics markets served by Dover Technologies, coming so shortly after a period of unprecedented growth, have had a significant adverse impact on the Company's earnings so far this year. However, the company's niche market positions in this long-term high growth industry remain very strong, and we expect to come out of this period stronger than we entered it. The Company remains firmly committed to what has been, and we are confident remains, a very successful investment for our shareholders. At this point, the electronics industry is unlikely to recover this year, and weak general economic conditions are impacting the balance of our industrial manufacturing businesses. Nevertheless, we are hopeful that the Company's earnings will begin to recover in the second half as we believe any remaining risk in Technologies is likely to be offset by improvements in the other segments. 14 of 18
