2. Discontinued Operations

   On June 17, 1996, Coltec completed the sale of its Holley Automotive,
   Coltec Automotive and Performance Friction Products businesses
   (collectively, the "Automotive Business") to Borg-Warner Automotive for
   $283,000,000 million in cash, which resulted in an after-tax gain of
   $34,470,000, net of liabilities retained, transaction costs and obligations
   related to the sale.  The cash proceeds, net of expenses and taxes, were
   $258,369,000.

   The sale of the Automotive Business has been recorded as a disposal of a
   segment of a business.  Accordingly, the financial statements of Coltec for
   the three months and six months ended July 2, 1995 have been reclassified 
   to account for the operations of the Automotive Business as a discontinued
   operation.  Net assets of the discontinued Automotive Business at December
   31, 1995 have been segregated in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.



                                                                            6.

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 June 30, 1996, two subsidiaries of Coltec
   were among a number of defendants (typically 15 to 40) in approximately
   89,100 actions (including approximately 6,100 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 June 30, 1996,
   approximately 169,300 of the approximately 258,400 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 other
   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 1996, two subsidiaries of Coltec received approximately 
   23,200 new actions, compared with approximately 19,500 actions received
   during the first six months of 1995.   Payments were made with respect to
   asbestos liability and related costs aggregating $32,534,000 and
   $30,489,000 in the first six months of 1996 and 1995, 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 June 30, 1996, 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 $82,329,000 and Coltec expects that this cost will be
   substantially covered by insurance.
                                                                            8.

                            Notes to Financial Statements
                                    June 30, 1996
                                     (Unaudited)
     


   With respect to the 83,000 outstanding actions as of June 30, 1996, 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.



                                                                            9.

   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:

   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
   approximate $20,000,000 at June 30, 1996, and has accrued for this amount
   in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1996. 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.

   Results of Operations


   Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared With Three Months Ended July 2,
   1995.

   Earnings from continuing operations were $18.0 million, or 26 cents per
   common share, in the second quarter of 1996 compared with $16.9 million, or
   24 cents per common share, in the 1995 second quarter  Operating results
   for the second quarter of 1995 have been reclassified to exclude the
   results of the discontinued Automotive Business.

   Sales in the quarter ended June 30, 1996, increased to $306.0 million from
   $299.6 million in the like quarter last year.  Operating income was $47.6
   million and the operating margin was 15.6% in the 1996 second quarter
   compared with operating income of $49.4 million and the operating margin of
   16.5% a year ago.  Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes
   increased 5% due to a 13% reduction in interest expense.
                                                                           11.

   Operating income in the Aerospace/Government segment rose 5% as sales
   increased 6%.  Operating income in the Industrial segment declined slightly
   on a small sales increase, and the Automotive segment reported a 5% decline
   in operating income on a 3% sales decrease.

   In the Aerospace/Government segment, the divisions serving the aerospace
   market increased operating income and sales by 8% and 12%, respectively. 
   Walbar, Chandler Evans Control Systems, Delavan Gas Turbine and Lewis
   Engineering reported higher sales and earnings; while Menasco and Fairbanks
   Morse Engine posted lower operating results.  Walbar's results benefited
   from the phaseout of its unprofitable compressor blade facility in Canada,
   which is scheduled to be closed by the end of 1996.  Walbar's remaining
   operations posted strong second quarter gains.  In the Industrial segment,
   Quincy Compressor and France Compressor Products had lower results, which
   were partially offset by Garlock Mechanical Packing and Plastomer Products,
   both of which reported improved operating income on higher sales.  The
   Automotive segment was affected by lower sales at Holley Performance
   Products and Stemco Truck Products.  The increase in Corporate unallocated
   costs was attributable to a provision for that portion of asbestos product
   liability claims and related litigation costs not covered by insurance.

   Following is a discussion of the results of operations for the three months
   ended June 30, 1996 compared with the three months ended July 2, 1995.

   Sales. In the Aerospace/Government segment, sales were $132.8 million
   compared with $125.7 million a year ago.  At Walbar, sales were up
   significantly on increased shipments of turbine blades and vanes for
   commercial aircraft engines, and components and assemblies for the
   locomotive turbocharger market.  Also contributing to the higher sales was
   an increase in demand for spare parts reflecting the aging of commercial
   aircraft fleets.  Sales were higher at Delavan Gas Turbine Products on
   strong demand for fuel injectors and components from regional airlines, as
   this segment of the airline industry continues to replace large aircraft on
   short run trips.  Chandler Evans Control Systems reported higher sales on
   increased shipments of fuel controls to original equipment manufacturers. 
   This sales increase was offset in part by completion of shipments in 1995
   for the Taiwanese fighter program.  Higher second quarter sales were
   reported by Lewis Engineering.  Sales were down at Fairbanks Morse Engine
   due to lower aftermarket sales and to the inclusion in the second quarter
   of 1995 of two large shipments of engine parts to the U.S. Navy.  The
   decline in sales at Menasco was due to lower shipments to Fokker and to
   Boeing.  Menasco ceased shipping landing gears and flight controls to
   Fokker, which filed for bankruptcy in the first quarter of 1995, and Boeing
   continues to work off inventory it received during its recent strike.

   Sales for the Industrial segment were $112.3 million compared with $110.9
   million last year.  The higher sales primarily reflected the acquisition in
   December 1995 by Garlock Mechanical Packing of Furon Company's metallic
   gasket business.  Sales were higher in the second quarter at Plastomer


                                                                           12.

   Products, Delavan Commercial Products, Garlock Valves & Industrial Plastics
   and Haber Tool, while Quincy Compressor, Sterling Die, Ortman Fluid Power 
   and Garlock Bearings reported lower sales.

   In the Automotive segment, sales were $61.2 million compared with $63.2
   million last year.  Demand was down in the second quarter for Stemco's hub
   oil seals from both the truck and trailer original equipment and
   aftermarket.  Sales declined at Holley Performance Products on lower demand
   in the automotive aftermarket for performance and remanufactured
   carburetors and for remanufactured air conditioners.  Partially offsetting
   the sales decline were higher sales at Farnam Sealing Systems.

   Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased 4% in the second quarter of 1996. 
   This increase was attributable to higher sales, a provision for that
   portion of asbestos product liability claims and related litigation costs
   not covered by insurance and to costs related to the metallic gasket
   business acquired by Garlock Mechanical Packing.  As a percent of sales,
   cost of sales increased to 68.4% from 67.3% last year.

   Selling and Administrative Expense. Selling and administrative expense,
   including other income and expense, increased slightly due to higher sales
   and to cost related to the acquired metallic gasket business.  As a percent
   of sales, selling and administrative expense was 16.0% in the second
   quarter compared with 16.2% in 1995.

   Interest and Debt Expense, Net. Interest and debt expense, net declined 13%
   due to lower interest rates, debt repayments and the substitution in the
   first quarter of bank debt at a lower interest rate for 11-1/4% debentures.

   Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the second
   quarter of 1996 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 34.0% compared
   with 35.3% for last year.

   Discontinued Operations. On June 17, 1996, Coltec completed the sale of its
   Automotive Business to Borg-Warner Automotive for $283.0 million in cash,
   which resulted in an after-tax gain of $34.5 million, or 49 cents per
   common share, net of liabilities retained, transaction costs and
   obligations related to the sale.  Net sales of the discontinued Automotive
   Business were $62.4 million and $62.0 million for the three months ended
   June 30, 1996 and July 2, 1995, respectively, and $128.9 million and $131.8
   million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and July 2, 1995,
   respectively.  Reference is made to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial
   Statements.

   Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared With Six Months Ended July 2, 1995.

   Earnings from continuing operations before extraordinary item for the six
   months ended June 30, 1996 were $19.3 million, equal to 28 cents per common
   share, and included a charge of $14.2 million ($9.4 million after tax)
   resulting from the Fokker bankruptcy.  For the six months of 1995, earnings
   from continuing operations before extraordinary item were $31.8 million, or
   46 cents per common share.  Operating results for the six months ended July
   2, 1995 have been reclassified to exclude the results of the discontinued
   Automotive Business.

   Sales for the six months of 1996 were $599.0 million compared with $586.1
   million in the like period a year ago.  Operating income was $70.8 million
   and the operating margin was 11.8%.  Excluding the $14.2 million charge,
   operating income was $85.0 million with an operating margin of 14.2%.  This
   compared with operating income of $94.6 million and an operating margin of
   16.1% in 1995.

   The Aerospace/Government segment reported a 44% drop in operating income in
   the six months of 1996; however, excluding the $14.2 million charge,
   operating income was slightly above 1995 on a sales increase of 6%. 
   Operating income in the Industrial segment declined 2% on a 2% increase in
   sales; and in the Automotive segment, operating income was down 17% and
   sales were down 5%.

   Operating results for the Aerospace/Government segment were affected by
   lower shipments at Menasco and by recognition in the six months of 1995 of
   a nonrecurring government grant by Menasco.  Higher sales and earnings were
   reported by Walbar, Delavan Gas Turbine Products and Fairbanks Morse
   Engine.  Walbar's results benefited from the phaseout of its unprofitable
   compressor blade facility in Canada.  Walbar's remaining operations posted
   strong gains.  In the Industrial segment, Quincy Compressor, Delavan
   Commercial Products and Sterling Die had lower results, which were
   partially offset by Garlock Mechanical Packing, Plastomer Products and
   Haber Tool, which reported improved operating income on higher sales.  The
   Automotive segment was affected by lower sales at Stemco Truck Products and
   Farnam Sealing Systems.  The increase in Corporate unallocated costs was
   attributable to a provision for that portion of asbestos product liability
   claims and related litigation costs not covered by insurance.

   Following is a discussion of the results of operations for the six months
   ended June 30, 1996 compared with the six months ended July 2, 1995.

   Sales. In the Aerospace/Government segment, sales were $255.4 million
   compared with $240.6 million a year ago.  At Walbar, sales were up
   significantly on increased shipments of turbine blades and vanes for
   commercial aircraft engines, and components and assemblies for the
   locomotive turbocharger market.  Also contributing to the higher sales was
   an increase in demand for spare parts reflecting the aging of commercial


                                                                           14.

   aircraft fleets.  Sales were higher at Delavan Gas Turbine Products on
   strong demand for fuel injectors and components from regional airlines. 
   Sales were down at Menasco due to lower shipments to Fokker and to Boeing.

   Sales for the Industrial segment were $225.6 million compared with $220.4
   million last year.  The higher sales primarily reflected the acquisition by
   Garlock Mechanical Packing of Furon Company's metallic gasket business. 
   Sales were higher at Plastomer Products, Garlock Valves & Industrial
   Plastics, France Compressor Products and Haber Tool, while Quincy
   Compressor, Delavan Commercial Products, Sterling Die and Ortman Fluid
   Power reported lower sales.

   In the Automotive segment, sales were $118.8 million compared with $125.7
   million last year.  Demand was down for Stemco's hub oil seals from both
   the truck and trailer original equipment and aftermarket.  Sales were down
   at Farnam Sealing Systems due to the General Motors strike earlier in the
   year.

   Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales increased 8% in the six months ended June 30,
   1996.  This increase was attributable to a $12.8 million charge resulting
   from the filing for bankruptcy by Fokker.  Also contributing to the
   increase were higher sales, a provision for that portion of asbestos
   product liability claims and related litigation costs not covered by
   insurance, costs related to the acquired metallic gasket business, and
   recognition in the first quarter of 1995 of a nonrecurring government grant
   by Menasco.  The $12.8 million charge for the Fokker bankruptcy covers
   nonrecurring development costs, vendor claims, losses on foreign exchange
   contracts and write-off of inventories related to the Fokker 70 and 100
   aircraft programs.  As a percentage of sales, cost of sales increased to
   71.2% from 67.3% last year.

   Selling and Administrative Expense.  Selling and administrative expense,
   including other income and expense, increased 5% due to higher sales, a
   $1.4 million charge for the Fokker bankruptcy covering the write-off of
   receivables related to the Fokker 70 and 100 aircraft programs, and to
   costs related to the acquired metallic gasket business.  As a percent of
   sales, selling and administrative expense increased to 17.0% from 16.5% in
   1995.

   Interest and Debt Expense, Net.  Interest and debt expense, net declined 9%
   due to lower interest rates, debt repayments and the substitution in the
   first quarter of bank debt at a lower interest rate for 11-1/4% debentures.

   Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes for the six
   months ended June 30, 1996 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 34%
   compared with 35.4% for last year.

   Extraordinary Item.  The extraordinary charges for both the six months of
   1996 and 1995 resulted from early extinguishment of debt.


                                                                           15.

   Liquidity and Financial Position

   At June 30, 1996, total debt was $683.6 million compared with $945.8
   million at year-end 1995.  The negative balance in shareholders' equity of
   $386.2 million compares with a negative balance of $453.8 million at
   December 31, 1995.  Cash and cash equivalents were $15.8 million compared
   with $3.9 million at year-end 1995.  Working capital was $203.6 million and
   the current ratio was 1.78.  This compares with working capital of $208.9
   million and a current ratio of 1.91 at December 31, 1995.

   In the first six months of 1996, Coltec generated $32.9 million of cash
   from operating activities compared with $18.3 million last year.  The
   higher cash generated from operations in 1996 was due to lower working
   capital requirements, offset in part by the net payment of $10.2 million to
   insurance carriers for asbestos-related matters compared with net receipts
   of $5.5 million last year.  Included in receivables at June 30, 1996 and
   December 31, 1995 were $71.2 million and $53.7 million, respectively, of
   receivables due from insurance carriers for asbestos product liability
   claims and related litigation costs.  Excluding these amounts and, at June
   30, 1996, a $13.5 million receivable due from Borg-Warner on the sale of
   the Automotive Business, receivables increased 6% to $125.4 million and
   receivables days outstanding were 38 days at June 30, 1996, compared with
   40 days at year-end 1995.

   In addition to the $32.9 million of cash generated from operating
   activities in the first six months of 1996, Coltec received $258.4 million
   of cash, net of expenses and taxes, from the sale of the Automotive
   Business.  These funds were used to reduce indebtedness, primarily bank
   debt, by $264.8 million, invest $16.0 million in capital expenditures and
   purchase 134,500 shares of Coltec's common stock for $1.9 million.  With
   borrowings under its credit agreement, Coltec expects to repurchase or
   defease $75.0 million of high-yield debt and purchase up to $90.0 million
   of its common shares over the next six months.

   The liabilities of discontinued operations, including the current portion,
   were $194.7 million at June 30, 1996 compared with $29.5 million at year-
   end 1995.  This increase covers liabilities and obligations related to the
   sale of the Automotive Business.
