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, principally 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 four principal markets,
or industry segments, in which it sells its products:

(1) BioPharmaceuticals.
(2) Medical.
(3) Aeropower.
(4) Fluid processing.

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

(b) Financial information about market segment information.

Reference is made to page 43 of the Annual Report to Shareholders.

(c) Narrative description of business.

1) The Company is a specialty materials and engineering company with the
broadest-based filtration, separations and purification capabilities in the
world. Its proprietary products are used to discover, develop and produce
pharmaceuticals, to protect hospital patients, to enhance the quality and
efficiency of manufacturing processes, to keep equipment running efficiently and
to protect the environment. Reference is made to the section titled "Pall
creates 100's of commercially successful products every year...." on pages 20-23
of the Annual Report to Shareholders. The products sold are principally 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) BioPharmaceuticals Segment:

The BioPharmaceuticals segment includes the following markets:
BioPharmaceuticals, Specialty Materials and Food & Beverage. For information
about the BioPharmaceuticals segment, reference is made to the section titled
"Health Care: BioPharmaceuticals" on page 6 and pages 8 and 9 of the Annual
Report to Shareholders.

(B) Medical Segment:

The Medical segment includes the following markets: Blood and Critical Care. For
information about the Medical segment, reference is made to the section titled
"Health Care: Medical" on page 6 and pages 10 and 11 of the Annual Report to
Shareholders.

Sales in the BioPharmaceuticals and the Medical markets are made through the
Company's own personnel and through distributors. Backlog information is
omitted, as it is not considered meaningful to an understanding of these
segments of the Company's business. The Company feels that safety, efficacy,
ease of use, technical support, as well as price, are the principal competitive
factors in this market, although economy of use is important. A principal list
of competitors is included on page 6 of the Annual Report to Shareholders.


3


(C) Aeropower Segment:

The Aeropower segment includes the following markets: Aerospace and Industrial
Hydraulics. For information about the Aeropower segment, reference is made to
the section titled "Aeropower" on page 7 and pages 12 and 13 of the Annual
Report to Shareholders. Backlog at July 31, 1999 was approximately $73,746,000
and is equal to about three months of sales. The Company's sales to aerospace
and military customers are made principally through its own personnel and
manufacturers' representatives; sales to Industrial Hydraulics customers are
made through Company personnel and through distributors. 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 page 7 of the Annual Report to Shareholders.

(D) Fluid Processing Segment:

The Fluid Processing Segment encompasses the following markets: Microelectronics
and Industrial Process. For information about the Fluid Processing segment,
reference is made to the section titled "Fluid Processing" on page 7 and pages
14-19 of the Annual Report to Shareholders. The Company's products are sold to
customers in these markets 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 page 7 of the Annual Report to Shareholders.

(E) The following comments relate to the four 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 totaled $56,490,000 in 1999,
$58,540,000 in 1998 and $53,747,000 in 1997.

(b) There was no one customer to whom sales were made totaling 10% or
more of consolidated sales in fiscal 1999, 1998 or 1997.

(c) The Company is in substantial compliance with federal, state and local
laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. To date,
compliance with environmental matters has not had a material effect upon
the Company's capital expenditures or competitive position.


4


The Company continues the clean up of contaminated water at its Ann
Arbor, Michigan facility that began in fiscal 1998. Costs incurred
during this year indicate that the anticipated future costs for
remediation will exceed the estimate originally established. As a
result, the reserve for future environmental remediation costs has been
increased by $6,000. In the opinion of management, the Company is in
substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws. Because
regulatory standards under environmental laws are becoming increasingly
stringent, there can be no assurance that future developments will not
cause the Company to incur material environmental liabilities or costs.
For a further description of the environmental issues see Item 3, Legal
Proceedings.

(d) At July 31, 1999, the Company employed approximately 8,600 persons.


(d) Financial information about geographic areas.

Reference is made to page 44 of the Annual Report to Shareholders.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
- --------------------------

In February 1988, an action was filed in the Circuit Court for Washtenaw
County, Michigan ("Court") by the State of Michigan ("State") against Gelman
Sciences Inc. ("Gelman")(a subsidiary acquired by the Company in February 1997)
requesting reimbursement of costs the State had expended in investigating
contamination near Gelman's Ann Arbor facility, which the State alleged was
caused by Gelman's disposal of waste water from its manufacturing process.
Pursuant to a consent judgment entered into by Gelman and the State in October
1992 (amended September 1996 and October 1999), which resolved that litigation,
Gelman is remediating the contamination without admitting wrongdoing. In July
1997 and in October 1997 the State notified Gelman that it believes that Gelman
is not in full compliance with the consent judgment and that Gelman is
potentially liable for stipulated penalties of more than $100,000, which
penalties may continue to accrue. Gelman disputes these assertions and has been
vigorously contesting them.

Reference is also made to Contingencies and Commitments on page 42 of the Annual
Report to Shareholders.
