2. SPECIAL CHARGE

   In the third quarter of 1995, Coltec recorded a special charge of $27.0
   million, primarily to cover the costs of closing the Walbar compressor
   blade facility in Canada.  It is anticipated that this facility will be
   closed by the end of 1996.  The charge also covered selected reductions in
   work force throughout the Company. The special charge includes $9.1 million
   for the cancellation of contractual obligations resulting from the decision
   to close the Walbar facility, $7.8 million for asset writedowns, $5.1
   million for severance and employee-related costs and $5.0 million for other
   costs necessary to implement the shutdown of the Walbar facility and other
   actions.  Charges of $5.3 million were recorded against this reserve in the
   third quarter of 1995.  

3. EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

   During the third quarter and nine months of 1994, Coltec incurred an
   extraordinary charge of $177,000, net of a tax benefit of $95,000, and
   $1,192,000, net of a tax benefit of $642,000, respectively, in connection
   with the early retirement of debt.

   During the nine months of 1995, Coltec incurred an extraordinary charge of
   $82,000, net of a tax benefit of $44,000, in connection with the early
   retirement of debt.

                                   October 1, 1995

4. 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 October 1, 1995, two subsidiaries of Coltec
   were among a number of defendants (typically 15 to 40) in approximately
   98,500 actions (including approximately 6,000 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 October 1, 1995,
   approximately 127,800 of the approximately 226,300 total actions brought
   have been settled or otherwise disposed of.

   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 nine months of 1995, two subsidiaries
   of Coltec received approximately 30,300 new actions, compared with
   approximately 14,500 actions received during the first nine months of 1994. 
   Payments were made with respect to asbestos liability and related costs
   aggregating  $42,441,000 and $26,592,000 in the first nine 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 October 1, 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 $71,445,000 and Coltec expects
   that this cost will be substantially covered by insurance.

                                                                            7.

                       COLTEC INDUSTRIES INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
                            Notes to Financial Statements
                                   October 1, 1995
                                     (Unaudited)
     


   With respect to the 92,500 outstanding actions as of October 1, 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
   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.


                                                                            8.

   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
   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:
                                                  October 1,    Dec. 31,
       (In thousands)                               1995          1994
       _________________________________________________________________
       Accounts and notes receivable - other      $64,626       $68,179
       Other assets                                28,907        13,119
       Accrued expenses - other                    46,464        34,099
       Other liabilities                           24,981         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 October 1, 1995, and has accrued for this
   amount in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 1, 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.

       Operating income for the third quarter of 1995 included a special
       charge of $27.0 million.  This charge included $23.4 million in the
       Aerospace/Government segment and $3.6 million in Corporate Unallocated. 
       Excluding this charge, third quarter and nine months of 1995 operating
       income for the Aerospace/Government segment would have been $18.5
       million and $50.4 million, respectively; and for the total company,
       $52.1 million and $170.6 million, respectively.



       Results of Operations

       Three Months Ended October 1, 1995 Compared With Three Months Ended
       October 2, 1994.

       Earnings before extraordinary item in the third quarter of 1995 were
       $1.8 million, equal to 3 cents per common share, or $19.4 million,
       equal to 28 cents per common share, excluding a special charge of $27.0
       million recorded in the third quarter.  This compared with earnings
       before extraordinary item of $23.0 million, or 33 cents per common
       share, in the third quarter of 1994.

                                                                           10.

       Sales for the quarter ended October 1, 1995, increased 5% to $332.1
       million from $317.5 million in the like quarter last year.  Operating
       income for the third quarter of 1995 was $25.1 million and the
       operating margin was 7.6%.  Excluding the special charge, operating
       income was $52.1 million and the operating margin was 15.7%.  This
       compared with operating income of $57.8 million and an operating margin
       of 18.2% in the 1994 third quarter.

       The Aerospace/Government segment reported an operating loss of $4.9
       million in the third quarter of 1995.  However, excluding the special
       charge, operating income increased 6% on a 15% sales increase. 
       Operating income in the Automotive segment was down 26% on a 7% sales
       decline, while both operating income and sales in the Industrial
       segment were up 9%.

       In the Aerospace/Government segment, divisions serving the aerospace
       market reported a 9% increase in operating income, excluding the
       special charge, and a 10% increase in sales in the third quarter. 
       However, the segment's operating margin continued to be impacted by
       higher start-up costs on the Alco engine product line at Fairbanks
       Morse Engine and pricing pressures.  Operating results for the
       Automotive segment were impacted in the third quarter by the adverse
       pricing environment and decline in demand, while operating results in
       the Industrial segment continued to benefit from improved market
       conditions and new product introductions.  Third quarter sales and
       earnings gains were reported by Quincy Compressor, Garlock Bearings,
       Garlock Mechanical Packing, Delavan Commercial Products, France
       Compressor Products and Garlock Valves & Industrial Plastics.

       Looking forward, operating results for the fourth quarter of 1995 are
       expected to improve from the third quarter but not meet the level of
       the 1994 fourth quarter.  This will result in full-year 1995 earnings
       per share, excluding the special charge, declining slightly from 1994,
       with disappointing Automotive segment results more than offsetting the
       improved performances in the Aerospace/Government and Industrial
       segments.  Operating results for 1996 are anticipated to be
       substantially unchanged from the 1995 level with the effects of
       continued competitive pricing pressures and sluggish demand in the
       automotive original equipment market offsetting continued strength in
       both the Aerospace/Government and Industrial segments.

       Following is a discussion of the results of operations for the three
       months ended October 1, 1995 compared with the three months ended
       October 2, 1994.

       Sales.  In the Aerospace/Government segment sales were $115.8 million
       compared with $101.1 million a year ago.  Fairbanks Morse Engine
       reported higher shipments on delivery of a Pielstick engine for the
       U.S. Navy Sealift program and on deliveries of Alco engines that began
       in 1995.  Menasco reported higher sales on new programs covering the
       Boeing 777 aircraft and the Fokker 70 and 100 aircraft.  In addition,
       Menasco began deliveries in the third quarter of 1995 of landing gear 

                                                                           11.

       for the McDonnell Douglas F-15 fighter.  This business was acquired in
       June 1995 from AlliedSignal Inc ("AlliedSignal").  Sales were higher at
       Delavan Gas Turbine Products on increased demand for fuel nozzles and
       overhaul services to regional airlines.

       The Automotive segment reported sales of $110.7 million in the third
       quarter compared with $119.5 million last year.  Sales were negatively
       affected by the adverse pricing environment and by 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 also down in the third
       quarter of 1995.

       In the Industrial segment, sales were $106.0 million compared with
       $97.5 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
       improved pricing, increased demand for the gasketing product line,
       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 9% in the third quarter of
       1995.  This increase is related to the increased volume of business and
       higher than expected start-up costs at Fairbanks Morse Engine on the
       Alco engine product line.  As a percentage of sales, cost of sales
       increased to 69.6% from 66.5% last year.

       Selling and Administrative Expense.  Selling and administrative
       expense, including other income and expense, was up 1% in the third
       quarter due primarily to higher sales, offset in part by lower
       incentive compensation, and state and local income taxes.  As a percent
       of sales, selling and administrative expense was 14.7% in the third
       quarter compared with 15.2% last year.

       Special Charge.  In the third quarter of 1995, Coltec recorded a
       special charge of $27.0 million, primarily to cover the costs of
       closing the Walbar compressor blade facility in Canada.  It is
       anticipated that this facility will be closed by the end of 1996.  The
       charge also covered selected reductions in work force throughout the
       Company.  The special charge includes $9.1 million for the cancellation
       of contractual obligations resulting from the decision to close the
       Walbar facility, $7.8 million for asset writedowns, $5.1 million for
       severance and employee-related costs and $5.0 million for other costs
       necessary to implement the shutdown of the Walbar facility and other
       actions.  Charges of $5.3 million were recorded against this reserve in
       the third quarter of 1995.



                                                                           12.

       Interest and Debt Expense, Net.  Interest and debt expense, net
       increased $.5 million or 2% in the third quarter due to higher interest
       rates.

       Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes for the
       three months ended October 1, 1995 resulted in an effective income tax
       rate of 35.0% compared with 36.0% for the like period last year.



       Nine Months Ended October 1, 1995 Compared With Nine Months Ended
       October 2, 1994.

       Earnings before extraordinary item for the nine months ended October 1,
       1995 were $49.4 million, equal to 71 cents per common share, or $66.9
       million, equal to 96 cents per common share, excluding the special
       charge of $27.0 million.  This compared with earnings before
       extraordinary item of $68.1 million, or 98 cents per common share, in
       1994.

       Sales for the nine months of 1995, increased 6% to $1,050.0 million
       from $986.4 million last year.  Operating income was $143.6 million and
       the operating margin was 13.7%.  Excluding the special charge,
       operating income was $170.6 million and the operating margin was 16.2%. 
       This compared with operating income of $173.2 million and an operating
       margin of 17.6% in 1994.

       The Aerospace/Government segment reported a 43% decline in operating
       income for the nine months of 1995.  However, excluding the special
       charge, operating income increased 6% on a 17% sales increase. 
       Operating income in the Automotive segment was down 16% on a 3% sales
       decline, while operating income in the Industrial segment increased 13%
       on a 9% sales increase.

       In the Aerospace/Government segment, higher sales and income were
       reported by Menasco, Delavan Gas Turbine, Fairbanks Morse Engine and
       Chandler Evans Control Systems.  However, the segment's operating
       margin continued to be impacted by higher start-up costs on the Alco
       engine product line at Fairbanks Morse Engine and pricing pressures.  
       At Walbar, pricing pressure and declining volume in its compressor
       blades business contributed to the decline in operating income. 
       Operating results for the Automotive segment were impacted by the
       adverse pricing environment and decline in demand.  Operating results
       in the Industrial segment continued to benefit from improved market
       conditions and new product introductions.  Sales and earnings gains
       were reported for the nine months of 1995 by Quincy Compressor, Garlock
       Bearings, Garlock Mechanical Packing, Delavan Commercial Products,
       France Compressor Products and Garlock Valves & Industrial Plastics.

       Following is a discussion of the results of operations for the nine
       months ended October 1, 1995 compared with the nine months ended
       October 2, 1994.

                                                                           13.

       Sales.  In the Aerospace/Government segment sales were $356.4 million
       compared with $305.5 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.  Menasco reported higher sales
       on new programs covering the Boeing 777 aircraft and the Fokker 70 and
       100 aircraft.  In addition, Menasco began deliveries in the third
       quarter of 1995 of landing gear for the McDonnell Douglas F-15 fighter. 
       Sales were higher at Delavan Gas Turbine Products, on increased demand
       for fuel nozzles and overhaul services to regional airlines, and at
       Chandler Evans Control Systems, on increased shipments of fuel pumps to
       original equipment manufacturers.

       Automotive segment sales were $368.2 million for the nine months of
       1995 compared with $381.5 million last year.  Sales were negatively
       affected by the adverse pricing environment and by 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 also down in the nine
       months of 1995.  Holley Performance Products reported higher sales on
       increased demand in the automotive aftermarket for performance and
       remanufactured carburetors.

       In the Industrial segment, sales were $326.4 million compared with
       $300.8 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
       improved pricing, increased demand for the gasketing product line,
       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 9% during the nine months ended
       October 1, 1995.  This increase is related to the increased volume of
       business and higher than expected start-up costs at Fairbanks Morse
       Engine on the Alco engine product line. As a percentage of sales, cost
       of sales increased to 69.2% from 67.5% last year.

       Selling and Administrative Expense.  Selling and administrative
       expense, including other income and expense, increased 3% due primarily
       to higher sales, offset in part by lower incentive compensation, and
       state and local income taxes.  As a percent of sales, selling and
       administrative expense was 14.5% in 1995 compared with 14.9% last year.

       Interest and Debt Expense, Net.  Interest and debt expense, net
       increased $.8 million or 1% in 1995 due to higher interest rates.

       Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes for the
       nine months ended October 1, 1995 resulted in an effective income tax
       rate of 35.0% compared with 36.0% for 1994.

                                                                           14.

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



       Liquidity and Financial Position

       At October 1, 1995, total debt was $977.0 million compared with $970.1
       million at year-end 1994.  The negative balance in shareholders' equity
       of $474.2 million compares with a negative balance of $525.6 million at
       December 31, 1994.  Cash and cash equivalents were $10.8 million
       compared with $4.2 million at year-end 1994.  Working capital was
       $230.5 million and the current ratio was 1.91.  This compares with
       working capital of $189.6 million and a current ratio of 1.79 at
       December 31, 1994.

       In June 1995, Coltec acquired AlliedSignal's 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 nine months ended October 1, 1995, Coltec generated $39.9
       million of cash from operating activities compared with $70.2 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 nine months of 1995, net receipts from
       insurance carriers were $8.9 million compared with $19.9 million last
       year.  The receivable from insurance carriers for asbestos-related
       matters was $93.5 million and $81.3 million at October 1, 1995 and
       December 31, 1994, respectively, (including the current portion of
       $64.6 million and $68.2 million, respectively).  Excluding the current
       receivable due from insurance carriers, receivables increased 16% to
       $150.6 million, reflecting the higher sales volume and receivables days
       outstanding increasing from 36 days at year-end 1994 to 38 days at
       October 1, 1995.  Inventories of $235.7 million at October 1, 1995 were
       $37.5 million or 19% higher than the level at year-end 1994.
