                    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
six months ended October 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:

3.  Investments

Investments are carried at fair market value.  The Company's investment
securities are classified as available for sale and recorded on the balance
sheet at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses on these investments
shown as a separate component of stockholder's equity, net of related taxes.


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 219,775 shares subject to outstanding options under
the Company's stock option plans at October 31, 1995. The effect of the
outstanding options and conversion right to purchase the total of 565,541 shares
as of October 31, 1995 is dilutive and reflected in the financial statements.
Year to date earnings per share on a fully dilutive basis using the treasury
stock method was $.08 at October 31, 1995.  In 1995 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 $.05 at October
31, 1994.

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 $179,000 during the
six months ended October 31, 1995, primarily because of increases in
inventories, prepaid expenses and deferred income taxes.  The current ratio
remained at 3.3.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $74,000 at October 31, 1995
compared to April 30, 1995, due to the Company's investment in higher
inventories and prepaid expenses during the year.  The Company intends on
investing excess cash in high grade investment securities until the cash is
needed for operations.

Accounts receivable decreased by approximately $21,000 at October 31, 1995,
primarily due to continued collection efforts and lower sales.  The Days Sales
Outstanding (DSO) increased to 62.0 days for the six months ended October 31,
1995 compared to 55.4 days for the same period last year.

Inventories increased approximately $364,000 in the first six months of the
fiscal year.  The inventory turnover ratio for the six months ended October 31,
decreased from 2.56 in 1995 to 1.30 in fiscal 1996.  The increase in inventories
in part reflects management's  decision to make more parts internally rather
than buying them from vendors.   Recent internal reorganization will add
emphasis on inventory management.

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.

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.

                         B.  Results of Operations
                                        
                   Six months ended October 31, 1995 compared
                    to the six months ended October 31, 1994
                                        
Sales were approximately $778,000 lower in 1995 compared to 1994, a 15.4%
decrease, due to lower demand in the domestic market. The Company's order
backlog is slightly higher at October 31, 1995 at approximately $1,325,000,
compared to $1,176,000 at October 31, 1994.

Gross profit increased to 44.5% in 1995 compared to 42.0% in 1994, due to
improved purchasing methods resulting in better material costs.  Overhead was up
1.9%  from last year to 10.7%  of revenue.   A significant factor in the
increase was attributable to writing off inventory shipped to customers for
repairs in prior years now deemed to be warranty.   Operating expenses were down
approximately $231,000 from last year including a $131,000 reduction in
commissions expense, reflecting the lower sales level attained to date.  Income
from operations improved to 6.4% for the six months ended October 31, 1995
versus 5.2% for the same period a year ago.

The company recognized gains on the sale of stock of approximately $23,000 in
the six months ended October 31, 1995, compared to a loss of approximately
$4,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1994.

Royalty and other income increased approximately $6,000 to approximately $75,000
due to higher interest and dividend income from high grade investment securities
for the six months ended October 31, 1995 compared the same period last year.
The Company's interest expense has decreased approximately $11,000 for the
period ended October 31, 1995 compared to the same period ended in 1994, due to
the Company's lower outstanding debt.

The income tax provision for the six months ended October 31, 1995 increased
approximately $11,000 compared to the same period in 1994.   The impact of
deferred tax items resulted in current tax rates of approximately 35.5% and
39.0% in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
                                        
                  Three months ended October 31, 1995 compared
                   to the three months ended October 31, 1994

Sales were approximately $359,000 lower in 1995 compared to 1994, a 14%
decrease, due to lower demand in the domestic market.

Gross margin on sales has decreased approximately $43,000 on the lower sales
noted above but improved significantly as a percentage of sales from 41.5% in
1994 to 46.4% in the three months ended October 31, 1995.  Reduced material
costs were a significant factor in this improvement.  Operating expenses
decreased by approximately $105,000, but as a percent to sales for the quarter
ended October 31, increased from 37.1% in 1994 to 38.4% in 1995 due to higher
general and administrative expenses.

For the quarter ended October 31, 1995, the Company recognized gains of
approximately $10,000 on sales of available for sales securities.  A loss of
approximately $4,000 was reported for the same period a year ago.

For the quarter ended October 31, Royalty and other income increased
approximately $10,000 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 October 31, decreased as a
percent of income from 42.5% in 1994 to 34.8% in 1995. This year's tax provision
is lower because of the effect of deferred tax items and the tax treatment of
interest income and dividends received.
