PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

FORM 10-K

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1996


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 both hydraulic and pneumatic 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, 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 17325 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44112, telephone
(216) 531-3000. 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 30 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 7,000 independent distributors. Parker products are supplied to over
300,000 customers in virtually every major manufacturing, transportation and
processing industry. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, net sales were
$3,586,448,000; Industrial Segment products accounted for 83% of net sales and
Aerospace Segment products for 17%.


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 300,000 customers which carry 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 Connector, Motion &
Control, Seal and Filtration Groups of the Industrial Segment are agricultural
machinery, construction equipment, electronic equipment, fabricated metals,
food production, industrial machinery, instrumentation, lumber and paper,
machine tools, marine, medical equipment, mining, mobile equipment, chemicals,
petrochemicals, 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. 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 Motion & Control Group manufactures components and systems used to provide
motion, control and conditioning through the medium of pressurized fluids and
electricity. Products include hydraulic, pneumatic and precision metering
pumps, power units, control valves, general purpose valves, accumulators,
cylinders, servo actuators, rotary actuators and motors, pneumatic control
valves, pressure regulators, lubricators, hydrostatic steering components,
electronic controls and systems and automation devices. 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 in
industrial, process, mobile, marine and environmental applications.

Industrial Segment products include both standard items which are
produced in large quantities and custom units which are engineered and produced
to original equipment manufacturers' specifications for application to a
particular end product. Both standard and custom products are also used in the
replacement of original motion control system components. Industrial Segment
products are marketed primarily through field sales employees and more than
7,000 independent distributors.

Aerospace Segment. The principal products of the Company's Aerospace
Segment are hydraulic, fuel and pneumatic systems and components that are
used on virtually every commercial and military airframe and engine program
in production in the Western world today.


- 4 -

The Aerospace Segment offers complete hydraulic systems, as well as
components that include hydraulic and electrohydraulic systems used for precise
control of aircraft rudders, elevators, ailerons and other aerodynamic control
surfaces and utility hydraulic components such as reservoirs, accumulators,
selector valves, electrohydraulic servovalves, thrust-reverser actuators,
engine-driven pumps, nosewheel steering systems, electromechanical actuators,
engine controls and electronic controllers. The Aerospace Segment also designs
and manufactures aircraft wheels and brakes for the general aviation and
military markets.

The Aerospace fuel product line includes complete fuel systems as well
as components such as fuel transfer and pressurization controls, in-flight
refueling systems, fuel pumps and valves, fuel measurement and management
systems and center of gravity controls, engine fuel injection atomization
nozzles and augmentor controls, fuel tank ducting and hose assemblies, and
electronic monitoring computers.

Pneumatic components include bleed air control systems, pressure
regulators, low-pressure pneumatic controls, heat transfer systems, engine
start systems, engine bleed control and anti-ice systems, and electronic
control and monitoring computers.

Aerospace Segment products are marketed by the Company's regional
sales organization and are sold directly to manufacturers and end users.

Competition. All aspects of the Company's business are highly
competitive. No single manufacturer competes with respect to all products
manufactured and sold by the Company and the degree of competition varies with
different products. In the Industrial Segment, the Company competes on the
basis of product quality and innovation, customer service, its manufacturing
and distribution capability, and price. The Company believes that, in most of
its major product markets, it is one of the principal suppliers of motion
control systems and components.

In the Aerospace Segment, the Company has developed partnerships with
key customers based on Parker's advanced technological capability, superior
performance in quality, delivery, and service, and price competitiveness,
which has enabled Parker to obtain significant original equipment business on
new aircraft programs for its fluid control systems and components and,
thereby, to obtain the follow-on repair and replacement business for these
programs. The Company believes that it is one of the primary suppliers in the
aerospace marketplace.


Research and Product Development
- - --------------------------------
The Company continually researches the feasibility of new products
through its development laboratories and testing facilities in many of its
worldwide manufacturing locations. Its research and product development
staff includes chemists, mechanical, electronic and electrical engineers and
physicists.

products or services and the improvement of existing products or services
amounted to $91,706,000 in fiscal 1996, $74,129,000 in fiscal 1995, and
$64,518,000 in fiscal 1994.


- 5 -


Reimbursements of customer-sponsored research included in the total cost
for each of the respective years were $33,018,000, $21,202,000 and $22,640,000.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses
- - -----------------------------
The Company owns a number of patents, trademarks and licenses related
to its products and has exclusive and non-exclusive rights under patents
owned by others. In addition, patent applications on certain products are now
pending, although there can be no assurance that patents will be issued. The
Company is not dependent to any material extent on any single patent or group
of patents.

Backlog and Seasonal Nature of Business
- - ---------------------------------------
The Company's backlog at June 30, 1996 was approximately $1,330,970,000
and at June 30, 1995 was approximately $1,025,669,000. Approximately 75% of
the Company's backlog at June 30, 1996 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.
The information set forth in Footnote 13 to the Financial Statements contained
on page 41 of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996 ("Annual Report") as specifically excerpted on pages
13-30 of Exhibit 13 hereto is incorporated herein by reference.

Energy Matters and Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
- - ------------------------------------------------------------
The Company's primary energy source for each of its business segments
is electric power. While the Company cannot predict future costs of such
electric power, the primary source for production of the required electric
power will be coal from substantial, proven reserves available to electric
utilities. The Company is subject to governmental regulations in regard to
energy supplies both in the United States and elsewhere. To date the Company
has not experienced any significant disruptions of its operations due to
energy curtailments.

Steel, brass, aluminum and elastomeric materials are the principal raw
materials used by the Company. These materials are available from numerous
sources in quantities sufficient to meet the requirements of the Company.
