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 28 of the Annual Report to Shareholders.

(c) Narrative description of business.

1) Reference is made to the section titled "Company Profile" contained in the
inside cover of the Annual Report to Shareholders. 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 Segment:

The Health Care Segment consists of two sub segments: BioPharmaceuticals and
Medical. The BioPharmaceuticals sub segment includes the following markets:
BioPharmaceuticals, Specialty Materials, Food & Beverage; sales in the Medical
sub segment are primarily to hospitals and blood centers. For a description of
these markets refer to the inside cover and pages 6, 7, 10 and 11 of the Annual
Report to Shareholders. BioPharmaceutical sales in fiscal 1998 were $294,202,000
or 27% of total sales; Medical sales in fiscal 1998 were $260,124,000 or 24% of
total sales. Sales in this market 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 this segment 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 in the inside cover of the Annual Report to Shareholders.

(B) Aeropower Segment:

The Aeropower segment includes the following markets: Aerospace and Industrial
Hydraulics. For a description of these markets refer to the inside cover and
pages 14, 15, 18 and 19 of the Annual Report to Shareholders. Sales in fiscal
1998 were $258,490,000 or 24% of total sales. Backlog at August 1, 1998 was
approximately $76,360,000. The backlog at August 1, 1998 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 in
the inside cover of the Annual Report to Shareholders.

(C) Fluid Processing Segment:

The Fluid Processing Segment encompasses the following markets: Microelectronics
and Industrial Process. For a description of these markets refer to the inside
cover and pages 8, 9, 12, 13, 16 and 17 of the Annual Report to Shareholders.
Sales in this market in fiscal 1998 were $274,469,000 or 25% of total sales. 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 in the inside cover of the
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 totaled
$58,540,000 in 1998, $53,747,000 in 1997 and $53,772,000 in
1996.

(b) There was no one customer to whom sales were made totaling 10%
or more of consolidated sales in fiscal 1998, 1997 or 1996.

(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.

In May 1997, the Company's newly acquired subsidiary, Gelman Sciences
received a permit from the State of Michigan which requires that all
processed water discharged meet the standards set by the State. Based
on the permit obtained from the State and upon review of environmental
issues at its other facilities, the Company decided to record a pre-tax
charge of $10,000,000 in the third quarter of fiscal year 1997. The
Company started the clean up process at its Ann Arbor facility in
fiscal 1998. 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 August 1, 1998, the Company employed approximately 8,900 persons.


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

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 and amended in September 1996, 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 Commitments and Contingencies on page 37 of the Annual
Report to Shareholders.

and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended August 1, 1998,
as contained in the Company's fiscal 1998 annual report to stockholders. These
consolidated financial statements and our report thereon are incorporated by
