           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note A - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they 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 of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.


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

A.   Financial Condition


During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, $11.1 million of cash and cash
equivalents was generated from operating activities and $7.4 million of cash was
obtained from additional borrowings. These cash inflows were used to support
$7.1 million of capital expenditures, $9.2 million of treasury stock purchases
and $1.8 million of dividend payments. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $.4
million during the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the Company held $28.2 million in cash and cash
equivalents. Cash balances net of short-term debt and current maturities of
long-term debt totaled $3.9 million, down from $7.8 million at the end of Fiscal
1995. Long-term debt of $13.6 million at October 31, 1995, represented 5.9
percent of total long-term capital, up from 4.4 percent at the end of last
quarter.

B. Results of Operations 

For the first quarter ended October 31, 1995, net sales increased 15 percent to
$188.9 million from $164.2 million in the same period last year. Net earnings of
$10.1 million were up 7 percent from prior-year earnings of $9.5 million.
Earnings per share of 39 cents were up 11 percent compared to 35 cents last
year.

Revenue increases continue to be broad-based; healthy gains have been recorded
across all markets and geographic segments. Worldwide net sales of engine
products totaled $123.1 million in the first quarter of 1996, up 10 percent from
the same period last year. Worldwide net sales of industrial products totaled
$65.8 million, up 27 percent from last year.

Gross margins were 28.5 percent in the first quarter of 1996 compared to 27.6 in
the same period last year. The increase primarily related to a $1.8 million
charge in the prior year against cost of sales for the residual net book value
of certain production lines which depressed last year's results. Excluding the
$1.8 million charge, fiscal 1995 margins would have been 28.7 percent.

Operating expenses as a percent of sales were 19.2 percent in the first quarter,
1 point above the comparable period last year. The increase is primarily due to
higher research and development spending in fiscal 1996. In addition, last
year's first quarter operating expense level of 18.2 percent was low compared to
the 18.8 percent recorded for all of fiscal 1995.

Hard order backlogs - goods scheduled for delivery in 90 days - of $124.3
million were up 6 percent from last year primarily due to increased orders in
the worldwide off-road market. Hard order backlogs are down 7 percent from July
31, 1995 primarily due to a decline in gas turbine backlog caused by strong
first quarter sales and generally soft market conditions.
