                 CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES
                 NOTES to CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (UNAUDITED)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The financial statements present the consolidated accounts of
Curtiss-Wright Corporation and all majority owned subsidiaries (the
"Corporation"), after elimination of all significant intercompany transactions
and accounts.

     The information furnished in this report reflects all adjustments,
consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for
the interim periods presented.  The unaudited consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's 1994 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.  The results of operations for these interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.  

2.   SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

     The Corporation accounts for its short-term investments in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS No. 115).  The
Corporation's short-term investments are comprised of marketable equity and
non-equity securities, all classified as trading securities under SFAS No.
115 and, accordingly, are carried at their fair value, which is based on
quoted prices for these investments.  Short-term investments have an
aggregate cost of $74,628,000 and an aggregate fair value of $75,205,000 at
September 30, 1995, compared with an aggregate cost of $72,750,000 and an
aggregate fair value of $72,200,000 at December 31, 1994.

     Included in the determination of net earnings were net realized gains
and losses on the sales of short-term investments, determined on the
specific identification cost basis.  The composition of investment income
for the first nine months and third quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively,
is as follows:
                                                (In thousands)

3.   RECEIVABLES

     Receivables, at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, include
amounts billed to customers and unbilled charges on long-term contracts
consisting of amounts recognized as sales but not billed at the dates
presented. Substantially all amounts of unbilled receivables are expected to
be billed and collected within a year.  The composition of receivables for
those periods is as follows:

4.   INVENTORIES

     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (principally average cost)
or market.  The composition of inventories at September 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994 is as follows:

5.   ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

     The Corporation is subject to federal, state and local laws and
regulations concerning the environment, and is currently participating in
administrative or court proceedings involving a number of sites under these
laws, usually as a participant in an industry group of potentially
responsible parties.  Many of these proceedings are at a stage where it is
impossible to estimate with any certainty the total cost of remediation, the
timing and extent of remedial actions which may be required by governmental
authorities, and the amount of the liability, if any, of the Corporation
alone or in relation to that of any other responsible party.  The
Corporation also has been seeking to establish insurance coverage with
respect to a number of these matters through litigation against certain
insurance carriers.  When it is possible to make a reasonable estimate of
the Corporation's liability with respect to an environmental matter, a
provision is recorded as appropriate.  Actual costs to be incurred in future
periods may vary from these estimates.  

     Based on facts presently known to it and the advice of counsel, the
Corporation does not believe that the outcome of any one of these
environmental proceedings, in excess of amounts provided, will have a
material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

6.   CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

     Interest payments of $466,000 and $304,000 were made primarily in
association with long-term debt in the first nine months of 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  The Corporation made estimated federal income tax payments of
$3,762,000 and $3,400,000 in the first nine months of 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

7.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Earnings per share were computed by dividing the applicable amount of
earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
each period shown in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings. 
The assumed exercise of all outstanding stock options had an immaterial
dilutive effect on earnings per share in each respective period.

                               PART I - ITEM 2
                 CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES
                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of
                FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS of OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

     Curtiss-Wright Corporation (the "Corporation") posted consolidated net
earnings for the third quarter of 1995 totaling $5.0 million, or $.98 per
share, 19% above net earnings of $4.2 million, or $.82 per share, reported
in the third quarter of 1994.  Net earnings for the third quarter of 1995
continued to show a small, but steady, increase from the first two quarters
of 1995.  Net earnings totaled $.79 and $.83 per share for the first and
second quarters of 1995, respectively.  For the first nine months of 1995,
net earnings totaled $13.2 million, or $2.61 per share, slightly below net
earnings of $13.6 million, or $2.68 per share, reported for the same period
of 1994.

     Sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 1995  totaled
$35.9 million and $110.4 million, respectively, showing declines when
compared with sales of $38.8 million and $114.8 million posted in the same
respective 1994 periods.  New orders received, however, improved
substantially for the third quarter of 1995, totaling $41.4 million,
compared with orders of $29.0 million received in the third quarter of 1994. 
New orders for the first nine months of 1995 were $112.7 million, also
significantly improved over orders of $87.6 reported for the same period of
the prior year.  

     Operating income generated by the Corporation's three business segments 
totaled $6.1 million for the third quarter of 1995, even with the $6.1
million reported for the third quarter of 1994.  The aggregate operating
income from our segments for the 1995 quarter reflects a substantial
increase in our Industrial segment earnings and improved income from our
Flow Control and Marine segment.  These improvements were offset by the
continued decline in operating income from our Aerospace segment, details of
which are discussed below.  For the first nine months of 1995, the
Corporation's aggregate operating income remained below 1994 levels,
totaling $16.4 million in 1995, compared with $18.5 million for the same
nine-month period of 1994.  Partially offsetting the lower aggregate
operating income from our business segments for the nine-month period were
higher earnings from our short-term investments and gains on the sales of
excess machinery made during the first nine months of 1995.
<PAGE>
 <PAGE> 11
Segment Performance

     The Corporation's Aerospace segment performance, while down from last
year, showed improving results between the second and third quarters of
1995. Sales increased 7% in the third quarter, when compared with sales in
the second quarter of 1995 and operating income for the third quarter of
1995 was almost double that of the prior quarter.  Both sales and operating
income for the Aerospace segment for third quarter of 1995, however, were
below the levels reported in the same period of the prior year.  Sales for
the third quarter of 1995 totaled $18.4 million, compared with sales of
$19.3 million in third quarter of 1994.  Sales had totaled $17.3 million for
the second quarter of 1995.  The improvements shown in the third quarter of
1995 primarily reflect the continued growth of our commercial domestic
component overhaul services and the addition of sales provided by
Curtiss-Wright Flight Systems Europe A/S, which began its operations during the
second quarter of 1995.  Sales of shot-peening services for the third
quarter of 1995 also improved in both domestic and foreign markets, when
compared with the same period of 1994. Overshadowing improvements in these
programs, when comparing the 1995 third quarter period with the same period
in the prior year, was an overall decline in sales from actuation production
programs primarily for military customers.  Declines in revenue from
production programs, the continuation of significant non-reimbursed
engineering costs on actuation and control developmental contracts relating
to the Lockheed/Martin F-22, the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey and the McDonnell
Douglas F/A-18 E/F aircraft, and start-up costs on our European facility
largely account for the decline in operating income when comparing the third
quarter of 1995 with the third quarter of 1994.  As indicated in prior
reports, the Corporation regards these development costs as important
investments for its long-term future, in view of the potential significance
of these major military aircraft programs. 

     Aerospace segment sales for the first nine months of 1995 totaled $52.6
million, 17% below sales of $63.2 million posted in the first nine months of
1994.  Operating income for the first nine months of 1995 was also
substantially below that of the same period of 1994.  Sales reductions in
the comparable nine-month periods reflect the absence this year of
significant shipments on the F-16 program, the retrofit portion of which was
completed in the third quarter of 1994.  Sales of shot-peening and peen-forming
aerospace services also declined, when comparing the first nine
months of 1995 with the same prior year period, reflecting the continued
general softness in the global aerospace markets during the early portion of
1995.  Operating income levels for the first nine months of 1995 were
further impaired by significant non-reimbursed engineering costs, referred
to above, associated with development work on the F-22, V-22 and F/A-18 E/F
aircraft.
<PAGE>
 <PAGE> 12
     Sales for the Industrial segment totaled $12.0 million and $40.2
million for the third quarter and first nine months of 1995, respectively,
compared with sales of $12.8 million and $32.1 million posted in the same
respective periods of 1994.  The decline in sales for the third quarter
periods reflects the lack of any contribution from the Buffalo Extrusion
Facility, which was sold in June 1995.  Excluding results generated by the
Buffalo Facility, sales of this segment for the third quarter of 1995 were
21% higher than those of the same period of the prior year.  Operating
income showed substantial improvements for both the third quarter and first
nine-month periods of 1995 when compared with the same periods of 1994.  The
sale of the Buffalo Facility did not have a material impact on operating
income for either period.  Improvements in the Industrial segment's
performance are largely reflective of higher sales of shot-peening and
heat-treating services to automotive and other customers. The Corporation's
Metal Improvement Company subsidiary, which provides shot-peening services in
North America and Europe, has experienced substantial improvements in all
sectors of its industrial markets during the first nine months of 1995.  

     Sales for the Flow Control and Marine segment totaled $5.5 million and
$17.6 million for the third quarter and first nine-month periods of 1995,
respectively, as compared with sales of $6.7 million and $19.5 million
reported in the third quarter and first nine month periods of 1994,
respectively.  Declines for both periods generally reflect lower sales of
commercial valve spare parts and lower volume on military production
contracts, offset in part by revenue from the settlement of a termination
claim relating to a part of a military valve actuation contract.  Operating
income for both the third quarter and first nine-month periods of 1995
improved over the income recorded in the same respective periods of 1994. 
Improvements in operating income largely reflect an improved sales mix on
current military valve production programs and cost containments.   

Other Revenues and Costs:

     Other revenue recorded in the third quarter of 1995 totaled $3.4
million, compared with $3.1 million recorded in the third quarter of 1994,
while other revenue for the first nine months of 1995 totaled $10.3 million,
compared with $9.2 million recorded in the same period of 1994.  The change
in other revenue for both 1995 periods is reflective of higher overall
investment income and net gains recorded on sales of machinery and
equipment.  

     Operating costs for the Corporation as a whole declined for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1995, when compared with costs incurred in
the same respective periods of 1994, generally reflecting lower sales in the
1995 periods.  Administrative expenses for the first nine months of 1995
were slightly higher than those of the same period in the prior year,
reflecting a reduction in accrued income generated from the Corporation's
over-funded pension plan.  Estimated pre-tax pension income for the first
nine months of 1995 totaled $2.0 million, compared with $2.6 million for the
first nine months of 1994.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION:

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

     The Corporation's working capital was $120.8 million at September 30,
1995, a 12% increase from working capital of $108.3 million at December 31,
1994.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities at September 30, 1995
also increased to 4.6 to 1 from 4.0 to 1 at December 31, 1994.  The increase in
working capital reflects an increase in cash and short-term investments
balances which total $81.5 million at September 30, 1995, a 7% increase from
December 31, 1994.  Net receivables at September 30, 1995 increased when
compared with net receivables at December 30, 1994 as a result of higher
current sales of shot-peening services to industrial customers and a slightly
longer collection period for the Corporation overall.  Net inventories at
September 30, 1995 were also higher when compared with the prior year-end,
primarily due to increases in  work-in-process inventory associated with
long-term development contracts.

     The Corporation continues to maintain its $22.5 million revolving
credit lending facility and its $22.5 million short term credit agreement,
which provide additional sources of capital to the Corporation.  The
revolving credit agreement, of which $3.6 million remains unused at
September 30, 1995, encompasses various letters of credit issued primarily
in connection with outstanding industrial revenue bonds.  There were no cash
borrowings made on the short term credit agreement during the first nine
months of 1995.     

     During the first nine months of 1995, internally generated funds were
more than adequate to meet capital requirements.  Projected funds from
operating sources are expected to be more than adequate to cover future cash
requirements, including anticipated capital expenditures of approximately
$3.2 million for the balance of the year and anticipated expenditures
connected with environmental remediation programs.  On October 1, 1995, the
Corporation repaid an outstanding industrial revenue bond amounting to $4.0
million. <PAGE>
