PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

(a) General development of business.

Pall Corporation, incorporated in July 1946, and its subsidiaries
(hereinafter collectively called "the Company" unless the context requires
otherwise) is a leading supplier of fine filters mainly made by the Company
using its proprietary filter media, and other fluid clarification and
separations equipment for the removal of solid, liquid and gaseous contaminants
from a wide variety of liquids and gases. The Company's business is best
analyzed by the following three principal markets, or industry segments, in
which it sells its products:

(1) Health care.
(2) Aeropower.
(3) Fluid processing.

During the past five years, the Company has continued its development of fluid
clarification and separations products and of their sale in a wide variety of
markets.

(b) Financial information about industry segments.

Reference is made to page 37 of the registrant's 1996 Annual Report to
Shareholders.

(c) Narrative description of business.

1) The Company sells its products in three principal markets. The products
sold are mainly filters made with proprietary Pall filter media produced by
chemical film casting, melt-blowing of polymer fibers, papermaking and
metallurgical processes. Metal and plastic housings and a wide variety of
appurtenant devices, are also made.

(A) Health Care Market:

See the following sections of the registrant's 1996 Annual Report to
Shareholders, which are incorporated herein by reference:
Hospital Products - pages 6 and 7.
Blood Centers - pages 8 and 9.
Pharmaceutical, Diagnostics and Membrane Technology - pages 10, 11, 12 and
13.
Bioseparations - pages 14 and 15
Food and Beverage- pages 16 and 17.

Sales of Health Care products in fiscal 1996 were $471,424,000 or 49% of
total sales. Sales in this market are made about equally through the Company's
own personnel and through distributors. Backlog information is omitted, as it is
not considered meaningful to an understanding of this segment of the Company's
business.

The Company feels that safety, efficacy, ease of use and technical support,
rather than price, are the principal competitive factors in this market,
although economy of use is important. A principal list of competitors is
included on the inside gate of the 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders.

(B) Aeropower Market:

See the following sections of the registrant's 1996 Annual Report to
Shareholders, which are incorporated herein by reference:

Industrial Hydraulics - pages 18 and 19.
Aerospace - pages 20 and 21.

Sales in fiscal 1996 were $235,101,000 or 25% of total sales. Backlog at
August 3, 1996 was $60,476,000, a 2% decrease from the prior year backlog of
$61,456,000. The backlog at August 3, 1996 is equal to about three months of
sales. The Company's sales to aerospace and military customers are made
principally through its own personnel; sales to industrial customers are made in
about equal proportions through Company personnel and through distributors and
manufacturers' representatives.

The Company believes that product performance and quality, and service to the
customer, as well as price, are the principal competitive factors in this market
segment. A principal list of competitors is included on the inside gate of the
1996 Annual Report to Shareholders.

(C) Fluid Processing Market:

See the following sections of the registrant's 1996 Annual Report to
Shareholders, which are incorporated herein by reference:

Microelectronics - pages 22 and 23.
Industrial Process Group - pages 24 and 25.
Hydrocarbon Processing, Chemical and Polymer - pages 26 and 27.
Pall Well Technology - pages 28 and 29.

Sales in this market in fiscal 1996 were $253,851,000 or 26% of total sales.
The Company's products are sold to customers in these markets in about equal
proportions through its own personnel, and through distributors and
manufacturers' representatives. Backlog information is omitted, as it is not
considered material for an understanding of this segment of the Company's
business.

The Company believes that performance and quality of product and service, as
well as price, are determinative in most sales. A principal list of competitors
is included on the inside gate of the 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders.

(D) The following comments relate to the three segments discussed above:

(i) Raw materials:

Most raw materials used by the Company are available from multiple sources of
supply. A limited number of materials are proprietary products of major chemical
companies. The Company believes that it could find satisfactory substitutes for
these materials if they should become unavailable, and has in fact done so
several times in the past.

(ii) Patents:

The Company owns a broad range of patents covering its filter media, filter
designs and other products, but it considers these to be mainly defensive, and
relies on its proprietary manufacturing methods and engineering skills. However,
it does act against infringers when it believes such action is economically
justified.

2) The following comments relate to the Company's business in general:

(a) With limited exceptions, research activities conducted by the Company are
company-sponsored. Such expenditures totalled $47,514,000 in 1996, $45,142,000
in 1995 and $41,283,000 in 1994.

(b) There was no one customer to whom sales were made totalling 10% or more
of consolidated sales in fiscal 1996, 1995 or 1994.

(c) There is no material effect on the Company's capital expenditures,
earnings or competitive position resulting from compliance with Federal, state
or local environmental protection laws.

(d) At August 3, 1996, the Company employed approximately 7,700 persons.

(d) Financial information about foreign and domestic operations and export
sales.

July 29, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of earnings,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended August 3, 1996, as contained in the Company's fiscal 1996 annual
report to stockholders. These consolidated financial statements and our report
thereon are incorporated by reference in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for fiscal year 1996. In connection with our audits of the aforementioned
consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the related financial
statement schedule as listed in the accompanying index. This financial
statement schedule is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement schedule
based on our audits.

In our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

As discussed in the Accounting Policies note to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" in
fiscal year 1995.
