PART I


Item 1. BUSINESS


GENERAL

Donaldson Company, Inc. ("Donaldson" or the "Company") was founded in 1915
and organized in its present corporate form under the laws of the State of
Delaware in 1936.

The Company is a worldwide manufacturer of air cleaners, liquid filters and
exhaust products and accessories for heavy duty mobile equipment; in-plant air
cleaning systems; air intake systems and exhaust products for industrial gas
turbines; and specialized filters for diverse applications. The Company has one
industry segment which consists of the design, manufacture and sale of products
to filter air, sound and liquid.

The Company's principal products are primarily sold through a direct sales
force. The table below shows the percentage of total sales contributed by the
principal classes of similar products for each of the last three fiscal years:

Year Ended July 31
1994 1993 1992
---- ---- ----
Air cleaners, filtration
devices and accessories 67% 68% 71%
Acoustical Products 11% 11% 9%
Other 22% 21% 20%

RAW MATERIALS

The Company experienced no significant or unusual problems in the purchase
of raw materials or commodities. Donaldson has more than one source of raw
materials essential to its business.

The Company is not required to carry significant amounts of inventory to
meet rapid delivery demands or secure supplier allotments.


PATENTS

The Company owns various patents which it considers in the aggregate to
constitute a valuable asset. However, it does not regard the validity of any one
patent as being of material importance.


2



SEASONALITY

The Company's business is not considered to be seasonal.


MAJOR CUSTOMER

Approximately 12% of the Company's 1994 sales were made to Caterpillar
Inc. and subsidiaries ("Caterpillar"). Caterpillar has been a customer of the
Company for many years and they purchase several models and types of products
for a variety of applications.

Sales to the U.S. Government do not constitute a material portion of the
Company's business.


BACKLOG

At August 31, 1994, the backlog of orders expected to be delivered within 90
days was $111,147,000. The backlog at August 31, 1993 was $88,953,000.


COMPETITION

Principal methods of competition are price, service and product performance.
The Company estimates it has more than 20 competitors in the sale of filtration
products and less than 10 competitors in the sale of acoustical products.

Generally the Company does not provide rights to return merchandise or give
extended payment terms to customers and believes the industry practices are
similar to its own.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

During 1994 the Company spent $10,873,000 on research and development
activities relating to the development of new products or improvements of
existing products or manufacturing processes. The Company spent $11,364,000 in
1993 and $10,323,000 in 1992 on research and development activities. Essentially
all commercial research and development is Company sponsored.


ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company does not anticipate any material effect on its capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position due to compliance with government
regulations involving environmental matters.

engineering offices are located in Leuven, Belgium.

Manufacturing activities are carried on in ten plants in the United States,

Africa, Italy, Belgium and Germany. The inside back cover of the 1994 Annual

facilities at the end of the lease term and have been capitalized.

The Company's properties are considered to be suitable for their present
purposes, well maintained and in good operating condition.
