3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

   Coltec and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in various lawsuits,
   including actions involving asbestos-containing products and certain
   environmental proceedings.  With respect to asbestos product liability and
   related litigation costs, as of July 2, 1995, two subsidiaries of Coltec
   were among a number of defendants (typically 15 to 40) in approximately     
   87,900 actions (including approximately 11,000 actions, in advanced stages
   of processing) filed in various states by plaintiffs alleging injury or
   death as a result of exposure to asbestos fibers.  Through July 2, 1995,
   approximately 122,600 of the approximately 210,500 total actions brought
   have been settled or otherwise disposed of.
                                                                            6.

                            Notes to Financial Statements
                                    July 2, 1995
                                     (Unaudited)
     




   The damages claimed for personal injury or death vary from case to case and
   in many cases plaintiffs seek $1,000,000 or more in compensatory damages
   and $2,000,000 or more in punitive damages.  Although the law in each state
   differs to some extent, it appears, based on advice of counsel, that
   liability for compensatory damages would be shared among all responsible
   defendants, thus limiting the potential monetary impact of such judgments
   on any individual defendant.

   Following a decision of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, in a case in which
   neither Coltec nor any of its subsidiaries were parties, that held
   insurance carriers are obligated to cover asbestos-related bodily injury
   actions if any injury or disease process, from first exposure through
   manifestation, occurred during a covered policy period (the "continuous
   trigger theory of coverage"), Coltec settled litigation with its primary
   and most of its first-level excess insurance carriers, substantially on the
   basis of the Court's ruling.  Coltec has negotiated a final agreement with
   most of its excess carriers that are in the layers of coverage immediately
   above its first layer.  Coltec is currently receiving payments pursuant to
   this agreement.  Coltec believes that, with respect to the remaining
   carriers, a final agreement can be achieved without litigation and on
   substantially the same basis that it has resolved the issues with its
   primary and first-level excess carriers.  Settlements are generally made on
   a group basis with payments made to individual claimants over periods of
   one to four years.  During the first six months of 1995, two subsidiaries
   of Coltec received approximately 19,500 new actions, compared with
   approximately 10,200 actions received during the first six months of 1994.  
   Payments were made with respect to asbestos liability and related costs
   aggregating  $30,489,000 and $18,981,000 in the first six months of 1995
   and 1994, respectively, substantially all of which were covered by
   insurance.  In accordance with Coltec's internal procedures for the
   processing of asbestos product liability actions and due to the proximity
   to trial or settlement, certain outstanding actions have progressed to a
   stage where Coltec can reasonably estimate the cost to dispose of these
   actions.  As of July 2, 1995, Coltec estimates that the aggregate remaining
   cost of the disposition of the settled actions for which payments remain to
   be made and actions in advanced stages of processing, including associated
   legal costs, is approximately $76,013,000 and Coltec expects that this cost
   will be substantially covered by insurance.

   With respect to the 76,900 outstanding actions as of July 2, 1995 which are
   in preliminary procedural stages, Coltec lacks sufficient information upon
   which judgments can be made as to the validity or ultimate disposition of
   such actions, thereby making it difficult to estimate with reasonable
   certainty the potential liability or costs to Coltec.  When asbestos
   actions are received they are typically forwarded to local counsel to
   ensure that the appropriate preliminary procedural response is taken.  The
   complaints typically do not contain sufficient information to permit a


                                                                            7.

                            Notes to Financial Statements
                                    July 2, 1995
                                     (Unaudited)
     




   reasonable evaluation as to their merits at the time of receipt, and in
   jurisdictions encompassing a majority of the outstanding actions, the
   practice has been that little or no discovery or other action is taken
   until several months prior to the date set for trial.  Accordingly, Coltec
   generally does not have the information necessary to analyze the actions in
   sufficient detail to estimate the ultimate liability or costs to Coltec, if
   any, until the actions appear on a trial calendar.  A determination to seek
   dismissal, to attempt to settle or to proceed to trial is typically not
   made prior to the receipt of such information.


   It is also difficult to predict the number of asbestos lawsuits that
   Coltec's subsidiaries will receive in the future.  Coltec has noted that,
   with respect to recently settled actions or actions in advanced stages of
   processing, the mix of the injuries alleged and the mix of the occupations
   of the plaintiffs have been changing from those traditionally associated
   with Coltec's asbestos-related actions.  Coltec is not able to determine
   with reasonable certainty whether this trend will continue.  Based upon the
   foregoing, and due to the unique factors inherent in each of the actions,
   including the nature of the disease, the occupation of the plaintiff, the
   presence or absence of other possible causes of a plaintiff's illness, the
   availability of legal defenses, such as the statute of limitations or state
   of the art, and whether the lawsuit is an individual one or part of a
   group, management is unable to estimate with reasonable certainty the cost
   of disposing of outstanding actions in preliminary procedural stages or of
   actions that may be filed in the future.  However, Coltec believes that its
   subsidiaries are in a favorable position compared to many other defendants
   because, among other things, the asbestos fibers in its asbestos-containing
   products were encapsulated.  Considering the foregoing, as well as the
   experience of Coltec's subsidiaries  and other defendants in asbestos
   litigation, the likely sharing of judgments among multiple responsible
   defendants, and the significant amount of insurance coverage that Coltec
   expects to be available from its solvent carriers, Coltec believes that
   pending and reasonably anticipated future actions are not likely to have a
   material effect on Coltec's results of operations and financial condition.

   Although the insurance coverage which Coltec has is substantial, it should
   be noted that insurance coverage for asbestos claims is not available to
   cover exposures initially occurring on and after July 1, 1984.  Coltec's
   subsidiaries continue to be named as defendants in new cases, some of which
   allege initial exposure after July 1, 1984.

   In addition to claims for personal injury, Coltec's subsidiaries have been
   involved in an insignificant number of property damage claims based upon
   asbestos-containing materials found in schools, public facilities and
   private commercial buildings.  Based upon proceedings to date, the
   overwhelming majority of these claims have been resolved without a material
   adverse impact on Coltec.  Likewise, the insignificant number of claims

                                                                            8.

   remaining to be resolved are not expected to have a material effect on
   Coltec's results of operations and financial condition.

   Coltec has recorded an accrual for its liabilities for asbestos-related
   matters that are deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated (settled
   actions and actions in advanced stages of processing), and has separately
   recorded an asset equal to the amount of such liabilities that is expected
   to be recovered by insurance.  In addition, Coltec has recorded a
   receivable for that portion of payments previously made for asbestos
   product liability actions and related litigation costs that is recoverable
   from its insurance carriers.  Liabilities for asbestos related matters and
   the receivable from insurance carriers included in the Consolidated Balance
   Sheet are as follows:
                                                  July 2,       Dec. 31,

       _________________________________________________________________
       Accounts and notes receivable - other      $64,314       $68,179
       Other assets                                36,914        13,119
       Accrued expenses - other                    41,657        34,099
       Other liabilities                           34,356         8,155

   With respect to environmental proceedings, Coltec has been notified that it
   is among the Potentially Responsible Parties ("PRPs") under the federal
   Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
   1980, as amended ("CERCLA"), or similar state laws, for the costs of
   investigating and in some cases remediating contamination by hazardous
   materials at several sites.  CERCLA imposes joint and several liability for
   the costs of investigating and remediating properties contaminated by
   hazardous materials.  Liability for these costs can be imposed on present
   and former owners or operators of the properties or on parties who
   generated the wastes that contributed to the contamination.  The process of
   investigating and remediating contaminated properties can be lengthy and
   expensive.  The process is also subject to the uncertainties occasioned by
   changing legal requirements, developing technological applications and
   liability allocations among PRPs.  Based on the progress to date in the
   investigation, cleanup and allocation of responsibility for these sites, 
   Coltec has estimated that its costs in connection with these sites
   approximates $20,000,000 at July 2, 1995, and has accrued for this amount
   in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 2, 1995. Although Coltec is
   pursuing insurance recovery in connection with certain of these matters,
   Coltec has not recorded a receivable with respect to any potential recovery
   of costs in connection with any environmental matter.

4. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

   On August 2, 1995, Coltec announced that it will close a Walbar plant in
   Mississauga, Ontario, Canada by the end of 1996.  In connection with this
   shutdown, Coltec will incur a charge in the third quarter of 1995.  The
   amount of such a charge has not yet been determined.
                                                                            9.

       Results of Operations

       Three Months Ended July 2, 1995 Compared With Three Months Ended July
       3, 1994.

       Earnings before extraordinary item in the second quarter of 1995
       declined slightly to $24.1 million, or 34 cents per share, from $24.4
       million, or 35 cents per share, in the 1994 second quarter.  Sales for
       the quarter ended July 2, 1995, increased 7% to $361.5 million compared
       with $337.0 million in the like quarter last year.  Operating income
       was $60.4 million, and the operating margin was 16.7%.  This compared
       with operating income of $60.7 million and an operating margin of 18.0%
       in the 1994 second quarter.

       In the Aerospace/Government segment, operating income increased 3% on a
       19% sales increase.  Operating income in the Automotive segment was
       down 21% on a 6% sales decline, while operating income in the
       Industrial segment increased 20% on a 13% sales increase.

                                                                           10.

                                    July 2, 1995
     

       In the Aerospace/Government segment, improved performances were
       achieved by Menasco and Delavan Gas Turbine Products.  However, the
       segment's operating margin was depressed due to higher production costs
       at Fairbanks Morse Engine, declining volume in a product line at Walbar
       and pricing pressures.  At Fairbanks Morse Engine, production and
       start-up costs on the Alco engine product line have been higher than
       expected due to the tight local labor market and the need for extensive
       training programs for new employees.  At Walbar, intensive pricing
       pressure and declining volume in its compressor blades business
       contributed to the decline in operating income.  On August 2, 1995,
       Coltec announced that it will close a Walbar plant in Mississauga,
       Ontario, Canada by the end of 1996.  In connection with this shutdown,
       Coltec will incur a charge in the third quarter of 1995.  The amount of
       such a charge has not yet been determined.  Automotive segment results
       were impacted by the adverse pricing environment in the original
       equipment market and the decline in demand from key automotive
       customers.  Operating results in the Industrial segment continued to
       benefit from improved market conditions and new product introductions. 
       All but two of the 11 units in the segment showed second quarter sales
       and earnings gains, with especially strong improvements at Quincy
       Compressor, Garlock Bearings and France Compressor Products.

       The operating issues and business trends experienced in the second
       quarter are expected to persist to some extent into the second half of
       the year.

       Following is a discussion of the results of operations for the three
       months ended July 2, 1995 compared with the three months ended July 3,
       1994.

       Sales.  In the Aerospace/Government segment, sales were $125.6 million
       compared with $105.3 million a year ago.  Fairbanks Morse Engine
       reported higher shipments of engines for U.S. Navy programs and began
       deliveries in 1995 of its Alco engines.  Higher sales at Chandler Evans
       Control Systems were due to increased shipments of fuel pumps to
       original equipment manufacturers and spare parts to the commercial
       aftermarket.  Menasco reported higher sales as deliveries of landing
       gear systems on new programs for the Boeing 777 aircraft and the Fokker
       70 and 100 aircraft began to accelerate.  Sales were up at Delavan Gas
       Turbine Products on increased demand for fuel nozzles and overhaul
       services to regional airlines.

       Automotive segment sales were $125.2 million in the second quarter
       compared with $133.7 million last year.  Sales were negatively affected
       by the adverse pricing environment in the original equipment market and
       the decline in demand for throttle bodies, manifold assemblies,
       mechanical air pumps and seals from key automotive customers.  Demand
       for Stemco's hub oil seal from the truck and trailer aftermarket was
       down in the second quarter of 1995.  Holley Performance Products
       reported higher sales on increased demand in the automotive aftermarket
       for performance and remanufactured carburetors.  Sales of oil pumps
       were higher on the ramp-up in volume for Ford's V6 and Zetec engines.


                                                                           11.

                                    July 2, 1995
     


       In the Industrial segment, sales were $110.9 million compared with
       $98.5 million last year.  Sales were higher at Quincy Compressor on
       increased shipments of rotary screw air compressors and on strong
       demand for compressor parts and accessories.  Garlock Bearings reported
       higher sales on strong demand for bearings from the automotive and
       truck markets.  At Garlock Mechanical Packing, sales were higher on
       increased demand for the gasketing and KLOSURE product lines, improved
       pricing, higher shipments in Canada and strengthening European
       currencies.  France Compressor Products and Garlock Valves & Industrial
       Plastics also benefitted from stronger European currencies as well as
       from improving economic conditions.

       Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales increased 10% in the second quarter of
       1995.  This increase is related to the increased volume of business and 
       higher than expected production and start-up costs at Fairbanks Morse
       Engine on the Alco engine product line.  As a percentage of sales, cost
       of sales increased to 69.0% from 67.3% last year.

       Selling and Administrative Expense.  Selling and administrative
       expense, including other income and expense, increased 5% due primarily
       to higher sales.  As a percent of sales, selling and administrative
       expense was 14.3% in the second quarter compared with 14.7% last year.

       Interest and Debt Expense, Net.  Interest and debt expense, net
       increased $.7 million or 3% in the second quarter due to higher
       interest rates.

       Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes for the
       three months ended July 2, 1995 resulted in an effective income tax
       rate of 35.0% compared with 36.0% for the like period last year.

       Six Months Ended July 2, 1995 Compared With Six Months Ended July 3,
       1994.

       Earnings before extraordinary item for the six months ended July 2,
       1995 increased 6% to $47.6 million, or 68 cents per share, from $45.0
       million, or 65 cents per share, in 1994.  Sales for the six months of
       1995 increased 7% to $717.9 million compared with $668.9 million last
       year.  Operating income was $118.5 million, and the operating margin
       was 16.5%.  This compared with operating income of $115.4 million and
       an operating margin of 17.2% in 1994.

       In the Aerospace/Government segment, operating income increased 6% on a
       18% sales increase.  Operating income in the Automotive segment was
       down 12% on a 2% sales decline, while operating income in the
       Industrial segment increased 16% on a 8% sales increase.

       The Aerospace/Government segment benefitted from improved performances
       by Chandler Evans Control Systems, Fairbanks Morse Engine and Delavan
       Gas Turbine Products.  However, the segment's operating margin was
       depressed due to higher production costs at Fairbanks Morse Engine,

                                                                           12.

       declining volume in a product line at Walbar and pricing pressures.  At
       Fairbanks Morse Engine, production and start-up costs on the Alco
       engine product line have been higher than expected due to the tight
       local labor market and the need for extensive training programs for new
       employees.  At Walbar, intensive pricing pressure and declining volume
       in its compressor blades business contributed to the decline in
       operating income.  Automotive segment results were impacted by the
       adverse pricing environment in the original equipment market and the
       decline in demand from key automotive customers.  Operating results in
       the Industrial segment continued to benefit from improved market
       conditions and new product introductions.  Strong sales and earnings
       gains were reported by Quincy Compressor, Garlock Bearings and France
       Compressor Products.

       Following is a discussion of the results of operations for the six
       months ended July 2, 1995 compared with the six months ended July 3,
       1994.

       Sales.  In the Aerospace/Government segment, sales were $240.6 million 
       compared with $204.4 million a year ago.  Fairbanks Morse Engine
       reported higher shipments of engines for U.S. Navy programs and began
       deliveries in 1995 of its Alco engines.  Higher sales at Chandler Evans
       Control Systems were due to increased shipments of fuel pumps to
       original equipment manufacturers and spare parts to the commercial
       aftermarket.  Menasco reported higher sales as deliveries of landing
       gear systems on new programs for the Boeing 777 aircraft and the Fokker
       70 and 100 aircraft began to accelerate.  Sales were up at Delavan Gas
       Turbine Products on increased demand for fuel nozzles and overhaul
       services to regional airlines.

       Automotive segment sales were $257.5 million for the six months of 1995
       compared with $262.1 million last year.  Sales were negatively affected
       by the adverse pricing environment in the original equipment market and
       the decline in demand for throttle bodies, manifold assemblies,
       mechanical air pumps and seals from key automotive customers.  Demand
       for Stemco's hub oil seal from the truck and trailer aftermarket was
       down in the six months of 1995.  Holley Performance Products reported
       higher sales on increased demand in the automotive aftermarket for
       performance and remanufactured carburetors.  Sales for oil pumps were
       higher on the ramp-up in volume for Ford's V6 and Zetec engines.

       In the Industrial segment, sales were $220.4 million compared with
       $203.2 million last year.  Sales were higher at Quincy Compressor on
       increased shipments of rotary screw air compressors and on strong
       demand for compressor parts and accessories.  Garlock Bearings reported
       higher sales on strong demand for bearings from the automotive and
       truck markets.  At Garlock Mechanical Packing, sales were higher on
       increased demand for the gasketing and KLOSURE product lines, improved
       pricing, higher shipments in Canada and strengthening European
       currencies.  France Compressor Products and Garlock Valves & Industrial
       Plastics also benefitted from stronger European currencies as well as
       from improving economic conditions.

                                                                           13.

       Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales increased 9% during the six months ended
       July 2, 1995.  This increase is related to the increased volume of
       business and higher than expected production and start-up costs at
       Fairbanks Morse Engine on the Alco engine product line.  As a
       percentage of sales, cost of sales increased to 69.1% from 67.9% last
       year.

       Selling and Administrative Expense.  Selling and administrative
       expense, including other income and expense, increased 5% due primarily
       to higher sales.  As a percent of sales, selling and administrative
       expense was 14.4% in 1995 compared with 14.8% in 1994.

       Interest and Debt Expense, Net.  Interest and debt expense, net
       increased slightly during the first six months of 1995 due to higher
       interest rates.

       Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes for the six
       months ended July 2, 1995 resulted in an effective income tax rate of
       35.0% compared with 36.0% for 1994.

       Extraordinary Item.  The extraordinary charges in both the six months
       of 1995 and 1994 resulted from early retirement of debt.



       Liquidity and Financial Position

       At July 2, 1995, total debt was $982.5 million compared with $970.1
       million at year-end 1994.  The negative balance in shareholders' equity
       of $477.5 million compares with a negative balance of $525.6 million at
       December 31, 1994.  Cash and cash equivalents were $5.6 million
       compared with $4.2 million at year-end 1994.  Working capital was
       $232.8 million and the current ratio was 2.01.  This compares with
       working capital of $189.6 million and a current ratio of 1.79 at
       December 31, 1994.

       On June 30, 1995, Coltec acquired AlliedSignal Inc's ("AlliedSignal")
       aircraft landing gear business for a purchase price of $14.0 million. 
       The acquisition includes the development and production of landing
       gears for the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 E/F fighter as well as
       production and product support of existing military programs including
       the F-15 fighter.

       During the six months ended July 2, 1995, Coltec generated $18.3
       million of cash from operating activities compared with $52.6 million
       last year.  The lower cash generated from operations in 1995 was due
       primarily to lower net receipts from insurance carriers for asbestos-
       related matters and to the build up of inventory to support the
       increased level of business and new programs in the Aerospace/
       Government segment.  For the six months of 1995, net receipts from
       insurance carriers were $5.5 million compared with $23.1 million last
       year.  The receivable from insurance carriers for asbestos-related

                                                                          14.

       matters was $101.2 million and $81.3 million at July 2, 1995 and
       December 31, 1994, respectively, (including the current portion of
       $64.3 million and $68.2 million, respectively).  Excluding the current
       receivable due from insurance carriers, receivables increased 13% to
       $146.4 million, reflecting the higher sales volume, and receivables
       days outstanding were 39 days at July 2, 1995 compared with 36 days at
       year-end 1994.  Inventories of $223.1 million at July 2, 1995 were 13%
       higher than the level at year-end 1994.

                             COLTEC INDUSTRIES TO CLOSE
                          UNPROFITABLE WALBAR CANADA PLANT
     
New York, NY, August 2, 1995 -- Coltec Industries Inc (NYSE: COT) will close its
Walbar plant on Aerowood Drive in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.  The plant,
which produces compressor blades for jet engines, employs 110 workers and will
be closed toward the end of 1996.

Coltec will continue to operate its remaining Walbar plants in the United States
and Canada.

John M. Cybulski, senior vice president, aerospace, Coltec Industries, said,
"The extended, severe downturn in the aerospace industry has dramatically
decreased the sales volume at our Aerowood Drive facility.  Operating this plant
has been a drain on our profitability.  This business accounts for only 6% of
Walbar's sales and 16% of Walbar Canada's sales and less than one-half of a
percent of Coltec's sales.  We intend to focus our Walbar Canada operations on
producing turbine blades and vanes, which has been a growing business for us."

Mr. Cybulski added, "This move will strengthen our presence in the turbine blade
marketplace and enhance our service to customers.  This also will strengthen
Walbar's financial position and improve its profitability."

Coltec Industries Inc is a New York-based manufacturing company serving
aerospace, automotive and other industrial markets.
