NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2000, the statements
of consolidated earnings for the three and six-month periods ended March
31, 2000 and 1999, and the statements of consolidated cash flows for the
six-month period ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 were prepared by the
company without audit. The September 30, 1999, consolidated balance
sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include
all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Information in this 10-Q report is based in part on estimates and is
subject to year-end adjustments and audit. In our opinion, the figures
reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the company's
financial position as of March 31, 2000, the results of its operations
for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, and
its cash flows for the six-month period ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.
All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. The
statements were prepared following the accounting policies described in
the company's 1999 annual report and Form 10-K and should be read with
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 26-33 of the 1999
annual report. The statements of consolidated earnings for the three and
six-month periods ended March 31, 2000 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
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
We have prepared the following discussion and analysis to help you better
understand our results of operations and financial condition. This
discussion should be read with the consolidated financial statements,
including the notes.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our results of operations are discussed and analyzed by reportable
segment. We have two reportable segments - Aircraft Engine Systems and
Industrial Controls. Aircraft Engine Systems provides fuel control
systems and components primarily to original equipment manufacturers of
aircraft engines. Industrial Controls provides fuel control systems and
components primarily to original equipment manufacturers of industrial
engines and turbines.
Our other operations include Global Services and Automotive Products.
Global Services focuses on providing control systems and related services
to industrial engine users in retrofit situations. Automotive Products
focuses on products for the non-automotive small engine markets that
require low-cost, high-volume, high-reliability manufacturing processes
characteristic of suppliers to the automotive industry.
The segment earnings reported for these segments in the discussion and
analysis that follows does not reflect restructuring expense, interest
expense, interest income and allocations of corporate expenses, and is
before income taxes and equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliate.
These other items are separately discussed and analyzed.

Segment earnings 4,558 15,806 9,014 29,121
</TABLE>
External net billings of Aircraft Engine Systems decreased in both the
three months and six months ended March 31 in 2000 as compared to 1999.
In addition to normal period-to-period variability, we experienced
decreases related to aftermarket revenue which we believe may be caused
by broader industry trends, including the lengthening of time between our
customers' discretionary repair and overhaul activities, increasing
competition from original equipment manufacturers that have expanded
their own aftermarket service offerings, and increasing reliability of
our components. In addition, in fiscal year 1999 our first quarter
billings were relatively strong due in part to shipments that were
<PAGE>
originally scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of fiscal year
1998. With improvements in delivery performance, we did not have similar
shipments this year, impacting our six-months comparison. Our second
quarter billings increased over our first quarter billings and we believe
they will continue to strengthen over our final two quarters of fiscal
year 2000.
Segment earnings of Aircraft Engine Systems decreased in both the three
months and six months ended March 31 in 2000 as compared to 1999. These
decreases can be attributed to the reduced billing levels this year as
compared to last year, especially related to aftermarket revenues, and
higher expenses in several areas. Billing levels impacted our profits
disproportionately because many of our costs are relatively fixed in
nature. Our expenses increased this year over last year primarily
because of costs associated with our second quarter early retirement
program (discussed below), ongoing product development activities,
specific warranty issues, and the rapid expansion of our industrial
nozzle business. Except for warranty, we believe these costs will
benefit future periods. Partially offsetting these increased expenses
was a reduction of certain accruals related to a prior business
acquisition of $0.9 million.
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2000, we offered early retirement
benefits as part of a broader workforce management program to align
staffing levels with expected demand. Under this program, 65 members of
our workforce retired on April 1, 2000. The amount of the early
retirement benefits, totaling $3.4 million, was expensed and accrued for
in our second quarter and will be paid in our third quarter. Subsequent
to the end of the second quarter, we developed plans and terminated an
additional 16 members of our workforce. Currently, we are continuing to
assess staffing levels in each of our Aircraft Engine Systems operations.

</TABLE>
Segment earnings for Industrial Controls increased in both the three
months and six months ended March 31 in 2000 as compared to 1999.
Industrial Controls benefited from our March 1999 reorganization, which
enabled it to lower costs and increase its focus on engine and turbine
manufacturers. With strengthened fundamentals, and an ability to offer
original equipment manufacturers high quality and competitive prices, we
are pursuing a strategy of increasing billings through market share gains
and innovative new product introductions, as well as serving the growing
demand for new gas turbines.

</TABLE>
External net billings of other segments increased in both the three
months and six months ended March 31 in 2000 as compared to 1999. This
increase primarily resulted from strong demand for our pre-engineered
control systems for gas turbine retrofit applications.
Other segment results improved in both the three months and six months
ended March 31 in 2000 as compared to 1999 primarily because of higher
billings and cost reductions in Global Services. Our March 1999
reorganization resulted in an increased focus on the control system
retrofit needs of industrial engine users. These improvements were
offset somewhat by higher expenses in Automotive Products, primarily
associated with a more fully-developed selling and administrative
infrastructure for conducting business, and the development of new
products.
On April 19, 2000, we announced the signing of a definitive agreement
under which we will sell the turbine control retrofit business of Global
Services to GE Power Systems. The sale is expected to occur late in our
third fiscal quarter and to result in a gain.
The portion of Global Services being sold accounted for almost 10% of our
consolidated billings in fiscal year 1999, although actual amounts have
not been determined. In fiscal year 1999, that portion of our business
generated losses. However, following our March 1999 reorganization
discussed above, it has improved its financial performance and has
generated earnings in fiscal year 2000. Its results are included in the
segment earnings reported for other segments and accounts for most of the
fiscal year 2000 improvement over fiscal year 1999.
The sale includes a product agreement with GE Power Systems for us to
supply controls to GE for application in the retrofit business. As a
result of the product agreement, external net billings of Industrial
Controls will increase and its intersegment net billings will decrease
after the sale has been completed.

</TABLE>
<PAGE>
Restructuring expense was recognized in the three months and six months
ended March 31, 1999, in connection with the March 1999 reorganization
and the consolidation of two of our facilities. Industrial Controls was
reorganized to separate the units serving engine and turbine
manufacturers from those that serve the retrofit market to enable us to
better focus on the precise needs of our customers and to align staffing
levels with expected demand. We also consolidated two facilities in
Germany.
Interest expense decreased in both the three months and six months ended
March 31 in 2000 as compared to 1999 because we had lower levels of
average outstanding debt this year as compared to last year, more than
offsetting the effects of higher interest rates.
Corporate expenses in the three months and six months ended March 31,
1999, included a gain of $1.0 million on the sale of non-operating real
estate in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

Net earnings $5,372 $2,064 $11,379 $ 7,268
Basic earnings per share $ .48 $ .18 $1.01 $ .64
Diluted earnings per share $ .48 $ .18 $1.01 $ .64
</TABLE>
The increase in earnings before income taxes and equity in loss of
unconsolidated affiliate, which consists of the segment earnings and
expenses excluded from segment earnings included in the preceding tables
and discussion, resulted in an increase in income taxes in both the three
months and six months ended March 31 in 2000 as compared to 1999. Our
effective income tax rate decreased from 40.0% in our first three months
of fiscal year 2000 to 39.5% for the first six months of fiscal year
2000, better reflecting our expectations for the year.
The equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliate reflects our share of the
losses generated by GENXON(tm) Power Systems, LLC, a 50/50 joint venture.
Since its inception, most of the activities and costs incurred were
directly related to product development. GENXON reduced the amount of
development activities in both the three months and six months ended
March 31 in 2000 as compared to 1999. GENXON is focused on the retrofit
market for installed, out-of-warranty industrial gas turbines, which we
believed would develop before the original equipment manufacturers
markets developed. However, the original equipment manufacturers have
<PAGE>
shown strong interest in the technology and we continue to monitor
direction of that market. In the meantime, GENXON's costs will be below
the levels of those incurred in fiscal year 1999.
Basic and diluted earnings per share increased in both the three months
and six months ended March 31 in 2000 as compared to 1999 by
approximately the same percentage as net earnings. Changes in the
weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding both before and after
the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options were relatively small.
Without the early retirement charge and the reduction in acquisition-
related accruals in this year's second fiscal quarter, and without the
restructuring expense and gain on the sale of real estate in last year's
second fiscal quarter, net earnings for the three months ended March 31
would have been $6.9 million ($0.61 per basic and diluted share) in 2000
compared to $6.4 million ($0.56 per basic and diluted share) in 1999.
Also without these items, net earnings for the six months ended March 31
would have been $12.9 million ($1.14 per basic and diluted share) in 2000
compared to $11.6 ($1.02 per basic and diluted share) in 1999.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition is presented by
segment for total segment assets, which consists of accounts receivable,
inventories, property, plant, and equipment-net and intangibles-net. We
also discuss and analyze our working capital, noncurrent liabilities and
shareholders' equity and cash flows. Together, this discussion and
analysis will help you assess our liquidity and capital resources, as
well as understand changes in our financial condition.

Other unallocated assets 53,070 49,966
Total assets $532,429 $550,664
</TABLE>
Aircraft Engine Systems' and Industrial Controls' total segment assets at
March 31, 2000, were lower than at September 30, 1999, primarily because
of decreases in accounts receivable. The decreases in accounts
receivable are principally attributable to lower billing levels in the
second quarter of fiscal year 2000 as compared to the latter part of the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 1999.
Included above with the other segments are assets related to the turbine
control retrofit business we agreed to sell to GE Power Systems. At
March 31, 2000, the balances of segment assets held for sale under this
agreement were approximately $17.5 million.

</TABLE>
Our balance sheet remained strong at March 31, 2000. Changes in our
balance sheet from September 30, 1999, included a reduction in long-term
debt while reducing working capital only slightly, made possible from
cash flows generated from operations.
We are currently involved in matters of litigation arising from the
normal course of business, including certain environmental and product
liability matters. Further discussion of these matters is in our Annual
Report and Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1999, in Note P to
the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 32.

Selected Cash Flow Items
<CAPTION>
Six months ended
March 31,
(In thousands) 2000 1999
<S> <C> <C>
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 26,712 $21,801
Net cash used in investing activities (13,222) (9,438)
Net cash used in financing activities (9,700) (6,290)
</TABLE>
Net cash provided by operating activities improved in the six months
ended March 31 in 2000 as compared to 1999, primarily as a result of
improved earnings.
More of our cash was used in investing activities in the six months ended
March 31, 2000, than in the six months ended March 31, 1999. The most
significant reason for this difference is that we received cash from the
sale of non-operating real estate in the second fiscal quarter of 1999.
In addition, our capital expenditures in the first six months of fiscal
year 2000 were about $1.4 million higher than they were in the first six
months of fiscal year 1999. Of this amount, approximately $1.0 million
can be attributable to software development costs not previously
capitalized.
Net cash used in financing activities reflects our payment of dividends
and our reduction of debt, among other financing activities, resulting
from the positive cash we generated from operations in excess of our
investments.
Future cash flows from operations and available revolving lines of credit
are expected to be adequate to meet the investing and financing cash
requirements of our existing business during the next twelve months. We
also anticipate receiving cash late in our third fiscal quarter of 2000
<PAGE>
related to the sale of our turbine control retrofit business of Global
Services to GE Power Systems. However, it is possible business
acquisitions could be made, during the next twelve months or in the
future, that would require amendments to existing debt agreements and the
need to obtain additional financing.
OTHER MATTERS
Market Risks
Our long-term debt is sensitive to changes in interest rates. Also,
assets, liabilities and commitments that are to be settled in cash and
are denominated in foreign currencies for transaction purposes are
sensitive to changes in currency exchange rates. These market risks are
discussed more fully in our Annual Report and Form 10-K for the year
ended September 30, 1999, in the Management Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition on page 20.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." This statement
provides guidance on accounting for the costs of software developed or
obtained for internal use and is effective beginning October 1, 1999. As
a result, we are now capitalizing certain software development costs that
we expensed in the past. We have estimated that the effect of complying
with this statement for planned projects will be to increase net earnings
in fiscal year 2000 by approximately $0.8 million. Of this amount, we
have already recognized an increase in net earnings of $0.6 million in
the six months ended March 31, 2000.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." Following a subsequent deferral of
the original implementation date, it is effective in fiscal year 2001.
This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments and for hedging activities. Among other
requirements, it requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those
instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value
of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative. The
company currently does not have any derivative instruments and does not
expect this new statement to have any significant impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
