                   WOODWARD GOVERNOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1994, and the statements of
consolidated earnings and cash flows for the three and six month periods
ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, have been prepared by the Company without
audit. The September 30, 1993 consolidated balance sheet was derived from
audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required
by generally accepted accounting principles.  Information furnished in this
10-Q report is based in part on approximations and is subject to year-end
adjustment and audit. The figures do reflect all adjustments necessary, in
the opinion of management, to present fairly the Company's financial
position as of March 31, 1994, and the results of its operations for the
three and six month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, and cash flows
for the six months then ended.  All such adjustments are of a normal and
recurring nature.  The statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting policies set forth in the Company's 1993 annual report on Form
10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements therein.  The results for the last fiscal year have
been restated to reflect the adoption of Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other
Than Pensions", No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes", and No. 112
"Employers' Accounting for Post-employment Benefits", which the company
adopted in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1993.  The statements of
consolidated earnings for the three and six month periods ended March 31,
1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other
interim periods or for the full year.

                   WOODWARD GOVERNOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Net billings for products and services delivered to customers in the second
quarter of fiscal year 1994 were $81,873,000, down 1% from $82,634,000 in
1993.  Costs and expenses during the same period increased from $75,170,000
in 1993 to $76,102,000 in 1994.  As a result, earnings before income taxes
and cumulative effect of accounting changes decreased from $7,464,000 to
$5,771,000.  Net earnings for the three months were $3,290,000 compared to
$4,507,000 in 1993.

For the first six months of the fiscal year, net billings were
$155,813,000, 3% less than 1993's $160,483,000.  Total costs and expenses
for the six month period were $145,154,000, compared to $148,374,000 last
year.  Earnings before income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting
changes decreased 12% to $10,659,000 in 1994 from $12,109,000 last year. 
Due to these reduced earnings and the increase in effective tax rate from
39% to 43%, earnings before the cumulative effect of accounting changes
decreased from $7,387,000 to $6,076,000.  Earnings per share before
cumulative effect of accounting changes decreased from $2.49 per share
through the second quarter last year to $2.06 per share this year.

The depressed state of the commercial aircraft industry continues to impact
shipment levels.  Second quarter shipments of the Aircraft Controls group
were $35,898,000, 13% less than the $41,374,000 shipped in the same period
last year. Year-to-date shipments of aircraft products total $67,822,000 or
17% less than last year's total of $81,856,000.  The strong trend of the
first quarter for Industrial Controls shipments continued into the second
quarter.  Industrial Controls shipments in the second quarter totaled
$45,975,000, 11% greater than the $41,260,000 reported in the second
quarter last year.  For the six months ended March 31, Industrial Controls
shipments were $87,991,000, compared to $78,625,000 for the same period
last year.  Shipments from the overseas business units of industrial
control products totaled $37,920,000, up $4,739,000 or 14% from last year's
total of $33,181,000 for the same period.  Domestic shipments of industrial
control products were also strong for the six months at $50,071,000, up 10%
from last year's $45,443,000.

Although costs and expenses have decreased 2% for the six month period from
$148,374,000 to $145,154,000, costs and expenses for the three month period
ended March 31 increased from $75,170,000 to $76,102,000.  While the
increase for the three months is disappointing, there are some specific
reasons for it.  We have reported for many years about the management
information system migration project that we undertook.  We are very close
to the initial implementation stage of this project and, as a result, we
have been performing additional scrutiny and review of our system records
so as to migrate only accurate, current information.

As a result of this review, in the second quarter, we recorded over
$1,000,000 of obsolete inventory write-offs compared to none through the
second quarter last year and approximately $450,000 in total for all of
last year.  In addition, we closed old tool and production orders which
added over $600,000 of additional expense.  Research and development costs
also remain high as we continue to devote resources to fund projects to
ensure future growth.  As a result of completing the settlement of an
income tax review, we recorded $665,000 of interest expense in the second
quarter.  This does not minimize our disappointment over the increase in costs
and expenses, nor does it reduce our commitment to contain our cost base, but  
it does help explain some of the reasons for the increase in the second
quarter.  For the six month period, it is also important to recognize there
were six months of occupancy costs for the Loveland facility this year
compared to three months last year.  Worker membership, including 100 members
at the recently acquired company in Germany, totaled 3,305 at March 31, 1994,
compared to 3,563 at March 31, 1993.
                                        
Cash and cash equivalents have decreased and totaled $9,230,000 at March
31, 1994 compared to $10,497,000 at September 30, 1993.  Accounts
receivable have decreased from $64,024,000 at September 30, 1993 to
$56,322,000 at March 31, 1994 due to the higher level of shipments in the
last two months of last fiscal year.  As a reflection of economic
conditions, customers have taken longer over the last year to pay accounts
and it requires more effort to collect receivables.  Inventories have
increased slightly to $84,495,000 at March 31, 1994 from $83,128,000 at
September 30, 1993.  Property, plant and equipment-net has decreased from
September 30, 1993 due to capital expenditures being less than
depreciation.  Short-term borrowings and long-term debt was $50,696,000 at
March 31, 1994, down from $58,258,000 at September 30, 1993.  

The company's effective tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 1994
and 1993 was 43.0% and 39.0%, respectively.  The effective tax rate for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1993 was 42.0%.
