		     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The  accompanying unaudited, condensed financial statements have been prepared 
in accordance with the instructions to the Form 10-QSB and do not include all 
of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting 
principles for complete financial statements.   In the  opinion of management, 
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring  adjustments) considered 
necessary for a  fair  presentation have been included.  Operating results for 
the three months ended July 31,  1995  are not necessarily indicative of the 
results that  may  be expected  for the fiscal year ending April 30, 1996.  
These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements  
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal 
year ended April 30, 1995.

1.  Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Engineering  
Measurements Company (the Company)  and  its subsidiary, General  Metrology 
Corporation.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been 
eliminated in consolidation.

2.  Inventories

Inventories, stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or 
market, are as follows:

						============    =========== 
</TABLE>

3.  Investments

Certain investments in debt and equity securities are classified into three  
categories: held to maturity, available for sale,  or trading. Held  to  
maturity  investments will be  carried  at amortized  cost. Available  for  
sale  securities will be carried at  fair  value  and unrealized gains and 
losses will be reflected as a separate  component of stockholders equity, 
net of the income tax effect which is included in  deferred taxes.  
Trading securities will be carried at fair  value and  unrealized holding 
gains or losses shall be included in earnings. The  unrealized  holding loss 
on available for  sale  securities  were approximately $72,000 and $19,000 
at July 31, 1995 and April 30,  1995 respectivley.  All the Company's short 
term investments are  debt  and equity  securities and  considered to  be  
trading  securities,  cost approximates market.  The Company's investment  
in  common  stock  of Marcum Natural Gas Services, Inc. is considered to be  
available  for sale securities.

4.  Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided for items which are reported for tax   
purposes in different periods than in the Statements of Operations.
				
5.  Earnings Per Share

Earnings  per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted 
average  number of shares outstanding during the period. Pursuant  to the  
terms  of  a  loan agreement, a stockholder  may convert  up  to $353,790  
in  principal and accrued interest into 345,766  shares  of common  stock  
at an average price of $1.02 per share.   There  are  a total  of  195,275  
shares subject to outstanding  options  under  the Company's  stock  option 
plans at July 31, 1995.  The  effect  of  the outstanding  options  and 
conversion right to purchase  the  total  of 541,041  shares as of July 
				
				PAGE 6 OF 11
<PAGE>
31, 1995 is dilutive and reflected  in  the financial statements.  
Earnings per share on a fully  dilutive  basis using the  treasury stock 
method was $.03 at July 31,  1995  for  the three month period.  In 1994 the 
shares issuable pursuant to the terms of  a stockholder loan agreement were 
dilutive.  Earnings per share on a  fully  dilutive basis using the treasury 
stock method was  $.03  at July 31,  1994.

6.  Changes in Accounting Principles

There have been no changes in accounting principles during these reporting 
periods.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
	 Results of Operations

			  A.  Financial Condition

The Company's net working capital increased approximately $72,000 during the 
quarter ended July 31, 1995, primarily because of increases in inventories of 
approximately  $132,000. The  current ratio remained unchanged at 3.3.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $87,000 at July 31, 1995  
compared to April 30, 1995, due to the Company's purchases  of inventory, 
capital expenditures and debt repayment during the quarter. The Company 
intends  to  continue  investing cash  in  high  grade investment securities 
until the cash is needed for operations.

Trade accounts receivable increased by approximately $44,000 at July 31, 1995,  
on lower sales of approximately $41,000 for the quarter ending July 31, 1995 
as compared to sales for the previous  quarter ending April 30, 1995.  The Days 
Sales Outstanding (DSO) continues to be strong, 61.5 for the quarter ended 
July 31, 1995 compared to 58.9 for the quarter ended April 30, 1995.  Other 
receivables decreased  by approximately $37,000 in the period.

Inventories  increased by approximately $132,000  during  the quarter ended  
July  31,  1995.  The inventory turnover ratio  for the  three months  ended  
July 31, decreased from 2.53 in 1994 to 1.63  in  1995. This  reflects  
management's cost reduction effort of   making  parts internally instread of 
purchasing them from vendors and purchasing  in cost effective quantities, 
thereby increasing parts availability.

Investments  in  common  stock of Marcum Natural  Gas  Services, Inc. decreased 
approximately $89,000 in accordance with FASB 115, in which available  for 
trade securities will be carried on the books at  fair value and unrealized 
gains and losses will be included in stockholders equity. (See Note 3 in the 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

The Company is making monthly payments of principal and interest, of 
approximately  $22,000  to pay off the loans  from  shareholder. The company 
does not expect any material capital expenditures in the next six  months,  
and  anticipates all cash needs will be satisfied  from operations.   The 
Company currently does not have any line  of  credit arrangements.

Sales  were  approximately $420,000 lower in 1995  compared  to 1994. Sales  
of insertion meter products continues at the  same levels as 1994.  Reduced 
sales efforts in the Digital Valve line resulted in a decease of approximately 
$140,000.  Vortex meter sales decreased  by approximately $170,000.  Sales of 
EMCO's other products also deceased slightly to make up the remaining decrease. 
The backlog at the end of July  31,  1995 was approximately $1,300,000 compared 
to a backlog  at July 31, 1994 of approximately $1,400,000.

Gross margin on sales decreased approximately $185,000 due to lower sales but 
improved margins.  As a percent of sales, margins increased from 42.4% in 1994 
to 42.6% in 1995.  Operating expenses decreased  by approximately $125,000, but 
as a percent to  sales for  the  quarter ended  July 31, increased from 36.5% 
in 1994 to 37.8% in 1995  due  to lower revenue.

For the quarter ended July 31, Royalty and other income increased approximately 
$14,000 in 1995 compared to 1994, due to higher interest and dividend income  
from  the  Company's  high grade   investment securities.

The income tax provision for the three months ended July 31, stayed 
approximately the same as a percent of income 36.5% in  both 1994 and 1995.

Net income for the period as a percentage of sales remained about the same, 
3.9% in 1995 versus 4.1% in 1994.  The comparable net income percentage for 
1995 was accomplished despite lower sales of approximately $420,000, through 
management cost containment and material cost savings.
