NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JOSLYN CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Principles of Consolidation:  The Consolidated Financial Statements include 
accounts of the corporation and all subsidiaries, after elimination of 
intercompany accounts and transactions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:   Cash and cash equivalents of $39,775,000 and 
$41,102,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, include cash 
equivalents which are highly liquid investments with original maturities 
or put dates of three months or less. They are recorded at cost which 
approximates market. 

Also included in this balance sheet caption are equity securities, all of 
which are classified as "available-for-sale", as defined in  Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain 
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". This new standard, which became 
effective in 1994 on a prospective basis, was adopted by the corporation in 
the first quarter of 1994 and requires certain securities to be recorded at 
market and their unrealized holding gains or losses to be recorded in 
shareholders' equity. (See the Equity Adjustments section of this note.)  
Joslyn's available-for-sale securities have a market value of $3,727,000 and 
$4,704,000 and an aggregate cost of $3,793,000 and $4,089,000 on December 31, 
1994 and 1993, respectively. At December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1992, 
there were immaterial gross unrealized gains and immaterial gross unrealized 
losses.  At December 31, 1993, there were gross  unrealized gains of $633,000 
and immaterial gross unrealized losses. SFAS No. 115 also requires several
new disclosures about investments, if they are material. None of these 
disclosures are material.

At December 31, 1994 and 1993, cash and cash equivalents also included 
$1,984,000 and $608,000, respectively, of restricted funds used to guarantee a 
self-insurance program with an insurance company.

Equity Adjustments:  Included in equity adjustments are cumulative foreign 
currency translation adjustments, pension liability adjustments and a
valuation 
reserve required by SFAS No. 115 in 1994 to adjust investments classified as 
available-for-sale securities from cost to market. The valuation reserve at 
December 31, 1994 and the net change for 1994 was an immaterial debit of 
$40,000. The cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments at 
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 were debit balances of  $364,000, $260,000
and
$131,000, respectively. The pension liability adjustments consisted of  debit 
balances of $234,000, $509,000 and $445,000 at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 
1992, respectively. 

Inventories:  At December 31, 1994 and 1993, inventories of $18,190,000 and 
$18,424,000, respectively, are valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) 
method.  The remaining inventories are  valued at the lower of first-in, 
first-out (FIFO) cost or market.  If FIFO inventory methods had been used for 
all inventories, the  December 31, 1994 and 1993 inventories would have been 
$9,440,000 and $9,069,000 higher, respectively.  During 1994, 1993 and 1992, 
certain inventories were reduced, which resulted in a liquidation of some LIFO
inventories valued at lower costs  prevailing in prior years.  These 
liquidations resulted in increasing income before taxes by immaterial amounts 
in 1994 and 1993 and by $875,000 in 1992.




<PAGE>



Property, Plant and Equipment:  Property, plant and equipment are stated at 
cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial 
statement purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes.  When 
properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and 
accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain 
or loss from disposition is recognized.  Maintenance and repair costs are 
expensed when incurred and were $4,483,000, $4,261,000 and $3,650,000 in 1994, 
1993 and 1992, respectively.

Research and Development:  Costs related to research and development
activities 
are charged against income as incurred. These costs were approximately 
$6,400,000 in 1994, $6,200,000 in 1993 and $5,000,000 in 1992.

Cash Flow Information:  Cash paid for interest was $113,000 in 1994, $135,000 
in 1993 and $212,000 in 1992.  Cash paid for income taxes was $10,029,000 in 
1994,  $7,999,000 in 1993 and $5,737,000 in 1992.

Net Income Per Share:  Net income per share of common stock was computed based 
on weighted average shares of 7,124,000 in 1994, 7,086,000 in 1993 and 
7,045,000 in 1992. 

2.  FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS:
At December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, the corporation had unused lines of
credit 
established with banks of $10.0 million, $15.0 million and $17.5 million, 
respectively, that may be drawn as needed.  The lines of credit were not used
during 1994, 1993 or 1992.  In connection with the line of credit agreements, 
the corporation was not required to maintain compensating cash balances in 
1994 or 1993.  In 1992, the corporation maintained an immaterial cash balance 
on certain unused credit lines and paid fees on certain other unused credit 
lines. The corporation has complied with the compensating cash balance 
requirements of all credit agreements with banks.

3.  PROFIT SHARING AND PENSION BENEFITS:
Most domestic subsidiaries of Joslyn participate in one of two Profit Sharing 
Plans.  The plans distribute Unit Contributions primarily in relationship to 
covered compensation and years of service.  For both plans, Company Unit 
Contributions are at the discretion of the Board of Directors of each 
participating corporation and are related to profit sharing income, as
defined, 
for each Company Unit.  Company Unit Contributions are made partly in cash and 
partly in common stock of Joslyn Corporation.  The plans have similar 
provisions requiring one year of service for eligibility and five years of 
service for vesting.  Each member of the Profit Sharing Plans is entitled
to vote the number of Joslyn Corporation shares allocated to that member's 
account.  Additionally, a 401(k) savings feature is part of the plans which 
provides proportionate, fully-vested, Company matching contributions.  Profit 
sharing expense for both plans was $2,308,000 in 1994, $2,191,000 in 1993 and 
$2,596,000 in 1992.

Additional retirement benefits are provided through a frozen non-contributory, 
defined benefit pension plan for eligible domestic, salaried employees of 
participating units. Effective December 31, 1988, this plan was frozen and no
employees may qualify for participation in the plan thereafter.  Benefits are 
based on years of service and an average of the five highest consecutive years 
of defined compensation, both as accrued at the plan freeze date. No amounts 
were contributed in 1994, 1993 and 1992 because of the full funding limitation 
in the 1974 Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).  If a qualified 
defined benefit pension plan is terminated and all accrued liabilities to 
employees and their beneficiaries are satisfied, in general, all remaining 
assets in the plan's trust may revert to the employer as income, subject to 
significant excise and income taxes.  

Joslyn Clark Controls, Inc. and Joslyn Jennings Corporation each also has a 
non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan for eligible hourly employees.  
The benefits are based on negotiated amounts per year of service.  The 
corporation's funding policy is to make the contribution required by ERISA.

The three pension plans include provisions limiting benefits in accordance 
with the Internal Revenue Code and ERISA.  The assets of the three pension 
plans consist primarily of stocks and bonds in a Master Trust account which 
is managed by an independent investment manager.

Following is a schedule reconciling the aggregate funded status of the pension 
plans with the amounts included in the applicable consolidated balance sheet:

4. INCOME TAXES:
In the 1994 third quarter, Joslyn recorded a charge of $35.0 million for 
increased environmental reserves, as discussed in Note 6, and a related 
deferred tax benefit of $14.0 million. In the 1994 fourth quarter, Joslyn 
recorded a $6.2 million charge to other expense, as discussed in Note 10, 
and a related deferred tax benefit of $2.1 million.

In the third quarter of 1993, Congress enacted the Revenue Reconciliation Act 
of 1993 (RRA) which, among other things, increased the federal statutory rate 
from 34% to 35% retroactively to January 1, 1993.  In the 1993 third quarter,
the corporation recorded the tax effects of the RRA which increased net income 
and earnings per share by approximately two cents ($.02) per share.  The 
increase reflects the benefits related to the corporation's significant net 
deferred tax assets.

Income (loss) before income taxes consists of the following:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the tax effects of timing 
differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial 
statement and tax purposes. Significant deferred tax assets and liabilities 
as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 are as follows:

5. STOCK OPTIONS:
The shareholders have approved two stock option plans for key employees which 
include Incentive Stock Options (ISOs), non-qualified stock options and non-
qualified stock options with tandem stock appreciation rights.  Stock options 
granted after 1991 and ISOs do not have tandem stock appreciation rights.
These 
plans provided for a maximum of 2,081,250 shares that could be delivered upon 
exercise of stock options and stock appreciation rights (SARs).  Stock options 
and SARs are granted at the market value of the corporation's stock on the
date 
of grant.  Options granted prior to 1990 and in 1994 are exercisable not less 
than six months nor more than ten years after the date of the grant.  Options 
granted from 1990 through 1993 are exercisable not less than six months nor 
more than five years after the date of the grant.

An SAR entitles an option holder to elect to receive, in lieu of the exercise 
of an option and without payment to the corporation, an amount equal to the 
difference between the option price and the market value of the common stock
on 
the date the right is exercised.  This amount may be paid in cash, in common 
shares, or in a combination thereof, subject to approval of a committee of 
non-participants.  Immaterial expense in 1994 and 1993 and expense of $282,000 
in 1992 are included in other expense, net with respect to SARs.  The 
corporation made payments or issued stock related to the exercise of SARs as 
follows:

6. ENVIRONMENTAL AND LEGAL MATTERS:
The corporation previously operated wood treating facilities that chemically 
preserved utility poles, pilings and railroad ties.  All such treating 
operations were discontinued or sold prior to 1982.  These facilities used 
wood preservatives that included creosote, pentachlorophenol and chromium-
arsenic-copper.  While preservatives were handled in accordance with all 
appropriate procedures called for at the time, subsequent changes in 
environmental laws now require the generators of these spent preservatives 
to be responsible for the cost of remedial actions at the sites where spent 
preservatives have been deposited.

In the 1994 third quarter, Joslyn recorded an environmental charge of $35.0 
million ($21.0 million after tax or $2.95 per share) for increased 
environmental reserves.  The 1994 charge relates principally to the clean-up 
of a former wood treating site located at Panama, Oklahoma.  Joslyn was first 
notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in July 1994 that 
it is a potentially responsible party (PRP) at the Oklahoma site.  Joslyn sold 
the site in 1955, after operating it for 16 years.  Although one prior and 
three subsequent owners have operated a wood treating facility at the site, it
initially appears that Joslyn may be the only significant financially viable 
PRP and Joslyn's insurance coverage during such period may be minimal.  Joslyn 
believes that approximately 20% of the remediation costs at the Oklahoma site 
will be expended over the next couple of years and that most of the 
remediation will take place during a period five to ten years from now.








<PAGE>

Determining Joslyn's ultimate cost associated with remediating former wood 
treating sites is subject to many variables, including the availability of 
economical remediation technologies, the volume of contaminated soil, 
contributions from other PRPs, insurance recoveries and changes in applicable 
laws and regulations.  Joslyn's investigation of the Oklahoma site is still 
in the preliminary stages.  Most of the charge reflects an estimate prepared 
by Joslyn's environmental consultants of the costs for environmental response 
at the Oklahoma site, based on the limited data about the Oklahoma site that 
is currently available, Joslyn's experience with nearly completed clean-ups 
and recent actions by USEPA at other sites.  This estimate assumes that Joslyn
will be allowed to apply the remediation technologies at the Oklahoma site
that 
it has applied elsewhere.  Certain of such technologies are among the least 
expensive of various alternatives.  The balance of the charge reflects 
estimates of Joslyn's exposure at certain other locations, for which very 
little information is available, that are not currently known to be under 
investigation by environmental agencies.  Accordingly, there can be no 
assurance that Joslyn's estimates of its environmental liabilities will not 
change.  For instance, if technologies other than those assumed to be
available 
are utilized at the Oklahoma site, or if the volume of contaminated soil at 
that site is significantly greater than that suggested by preliminary data, 
remediation costs could more than double.

In addition to the $35.0 million charge taken in 1994, Joslyn currently has a 
$13.5 million reserve remaining (after expenditures and recoveries, including 
$6.2 million received in 1994 from insurance and other sources) from a $30.0 
million charge in 1987 for estimated remediation costs for known sites then 
under investigation by environmental agencies.  None of the 1987 charge
relates 
to the sites covered by the 1994 charge.
































<PAGE>

As of December 31, 1994, the corporation has environmental accruals of 
approximately $48.5 million.  It is anticipated that approximately $7.0 
million to $10.0 million may be spent in 1995 on clean-up and related 
activities.  Consequently, approximately $10.0 million is classified as a 
current liability and the remaining $38.5 million of the reserve is classified 
as a long-term liability at December 31, 1994.

There were expenditures of approximately $2.7 million, $2.8 million and $15.0 
million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, on environmental clean-up and 
related activities, of former wood treating sites.  There were recoveries from 
insurance and other parties of $6.2 million, $0.1 million and $9.6 million in 
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.  The total charge to expense in 1994 was 
$35.0 million and there were no charges to expense in 1993 and 1992 related 
to the environmental accruals.

Joslyn Manufacturing Co., a subsidiary of the corporation, is a defendant in a 
class action tort suit.  The suit alleges exposure to chemicals and property 
devaluation resulting from wood treating operations previously conducted at a 
Louisiana site.  Both the size of the class and the damages are unspecified.  
The corporation has tendered the defense of the suit to its insurance carrier. 

The corporation believes that it may have adequate insurance coverage for the 
litigation, however, because of the above uncertainties, the corporation is 
unable to determine at this time the potential liability, if any.

The corporation is involved in various other claims, legal actions and 
complaints arising in the normal course of business.  It is the opinion of 
Management that such actions and claims will not have a material adverse 
effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the corporation.


7. POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL BENEFITS:
The corporation and its participating domestic subsidiaries provide optional 
health care benefits for retired employees under a frozen contributory plan.  
Employees may become eligible for these benefits if they were employed by the
corporation at the defined retirement age, were employed at least ten years 
and were hired prior to January 1, 1989.  The benefits are subject to 
deductibles, co-payment provisions and other limitations, which are amended 
periodically.  Also, the corporation assumed a frozen retiree medical 
coverage plan as a result of its acquisition of the Jennings business in 1992. 
The following data is for these coverages in aggregate.  These benefits are 
discretionary and are not a commitment to long-term benefit payments.  The 
plans are funded as claims are paid.
     
The net periodic postretirement medical benefit cost for 1994, 1993 and 1992 
was as follows:

The accumulated postretirement medical benefit obligation at
December 31, 1994 and 1993 was as follows:

- --------------------------------------------------------------
Accrued Medical Benefit Cost             $14,729      $14,132
==============================================================

The assumed health care cost trend rate used in the calculation for measuring 
the accumulated postretirement medical benefit obligation was 13.1% in 1994 
and 15.4% in 1993.  This rate was assumed to decrease by 2.3% per year to 8.5% 
in 1996 and remain at that level thereafter.  The effect on the accumulated 
medical benefit obligation at January 1, 1994 of a one-percentage-point 
increase for each year in the health care cost trend rate used would result 
in an increase of $2,039,000 in the total obligation and a $226,000 increase
in the aggregate service and interest cost components of the 1994 expense.  
The weighted average discount rates used to determine the accumulated 
postretirement medical benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 
were 8% and 7%, respectively.

8.  ACQUISITIONS:
In the first quarter of 1994, Joslyn acquired, for $2.5 million in cash, 
the assets of the Poleline Hardware Division of Stanley G. Flagg, a wholly-
owned subsidiary of  Amcast Industrial Corporation.  Flagg products consist 
of fiberglass conductor support systems and malleable and ductile iron
poleline 
hardware for use on electrical power and telephone systems.  The assets were 
relocated to a Joslyn Manufacturing Co. plant in Chicago, Illinois from Stowe, 
Pennsylvania.  Revenues from the Flagg products in 1994 were approximately 
$5.5 million.

In the second quarter of 1993, Joslyn Jennings Corporation purchased a vacuum 
capacitor product line from EEV Limited in Chelmsford, England.  The product 
line was relocated to Joslyn Jennings' facility in San Jose, California. The 
purchase price was not material.

In April 1992, Joslyn Corporation purchased, for cash, the stock of Lear 
Siegler Jennings Corp., a San Jose, California based manufacturer of high-
voltage vacuum products and telecommunications test instrumentation.  A
wholly-
owned subsidiary of Joslyn Corporation also purchased certain real estate, 
some of which is being used in the business and some of which was sold in
1993.
The corporation paid $9.9 million for this acquisition.

Each of these acquisitions was accounted for by the purchase method. The 
operating results of these acquisitions are included in the corporation's 
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

9. SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS:
The corporation has a Shareholders' Right attached to each share of common 
stock.  Each Right entitles the holder to buy from the corporation one newly 
issued share of common stock at an exercise price of $60.  The Rights become 
exercisable upon the acquisition of a certain percentage of corporation stock
or a tender offer or exchange offer for corporation stock by a person or
group.
The corporation is entitled to redeem the Rights at $.05 per Right at any time 
prior to fifteen days after a public announcement that a person or group has
acquired  a certain percentage of the corporation's common stock.  Depending 
on  the occurrence of certain specific events, each exercisable Right, other 
than Rights held by the acquiring party, either entitles the holder to
purchase 
the corporation's common stock at an adjusted per-share price equal to 20% of 
the then market price or entitles the holder to purchase a share of the 
acquiring company common stock at a 50% discount.  The Rights will expire on 
March 3, 1998.

10. OTHER EXPENSE, NET:
In the fourth quarter of 1994, the corporation recorded a charge to Other 
Expense, Net of $6.2 million before taxes, $4.1 million after taxes, or $.58 
per share.  The pre-tax charge includes 1) a $4.1 million charge to write down 
to estimated net realizable value the net assets of two businesses that are
disposition candidates and 2) a charge of $2.1 million primarily for estimated 
losses on subleasing the corporation headquarters and severance costs for
staff 
reductions.

Other Expense, Net in 1993 and 1992 includes primarily charges related to
plant 
consolidations and to actions to eliminate marginal products as part of 
management's continuing effort to simplify the organization, reduce costs and 
improve efficiencies.  In 1992, the expenses were partially offset by a gain 
on the sale of certain property.

Also included in 1994, 1993 and 1992 are certain post-employment benefit 
expenses and other miscellaneous items.

are manufactured and assembled from metal, polymers, fiberglass, engineered 
materials and porcelain and include hardware, earth anchors, power surge 
arresters, cable accessories, electrical terminating devices and other 
products.  In addition, the corporation sells complementary goods produced by 
other manufacturers.

Intersegment sales are not material.  Foreign operations of the corporation, 
which are not material, are located in Canada and primarily serve markets in 
that country.  No single customer accounts for 10% or more of the
corporation's 
sales.  General corporate assets are principally cash and cash equivalents, 
land and deferred tax and other assets.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Joslyn Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Joslyn 
Corporation (an Illinois corporation) and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 
and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' 
equity and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended 
December 31, 1994.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the 
Corporation's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial 
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used 
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall 
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of Joslyn Corporation and 
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its 
operations and its cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the 
period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

                          JOSLYN CORPORATION
                 
               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1:

On June 28, 1995 Joslyn Corporation acquired all of the issued and
outstanding common shares of Cyberex, Inc., a closely held corporation.
The total purchase price of  $22 million was paid from Joslyn's available
cash on hand.  Included in the assets purchased from Cyberex was $3.6
million of cash, which resulted in a net cash expenditure of $18.4
million.  Cyberex had sales of almost $16 million for the latest fiscal
year. Cyberex is a recognized leading manufacturer of uninterruptable
power systems and static transfer switches.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method and the
Cyberex net assets have been included in the June 30, 1995 Balance Sheet.
The Condensed Income Statement for June 30, 1995 does not include
Cyberex's results of operations. The excess of cost over the net tangible
assets acquired is initially estimated to be approximately $13.3 million
and is recorded as goodwill, which is being amortized over 40 years on a
straight-line basis. The purchase accounting adjustments are not complete.

The unaudited pro forma amounts presented in the following table show the
results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994,
assuming Joslyn's acquisition of Cyberex occurred at the beginning of the
periods presented.  Permitted pro forma adjustments include only the
effects of events directly attributable to a tranaction expected to have a
continuing impact. These pro forma results do not purport to be indicative
of what would have occurred had the acquisition actually been consummated
on the assumed dates or of results that may occur for any subsequent
period.
                             Quarter Ended       Six Months Ended
                                June 30,              June 30,
                          -----------------     -----------------
                              1995     1994         1995     1994
                           -------  -------     -------- --------
Revenues                   $61,482  $57,623     $121,121 $114,231
Net Income                   4,314    3,343        7,855    7,201
Net Income Per Share          0.60     0.47         1.10     1.01

The pro forma adjustments are for amortization of an initial estimate for
goodwill and for investment income that would not have been earned by
Joslyn had the cash been dispursed at the beginning of the periods
presented. Pro forma adjustments were also made to restate Cyberex's
earnings for certain non-recurring expenses recorded due to the
acquisition which were for the termination of Cyberex stock options and to
conform Cyberex's accounting policies to Joslyn's accounting policies.

Note 2:

On July 21, 1995,  Joslyn Corporation signed a definitive agreement to
sell all the shares of ADK Pressure Equipment Corporation (ADK) for
approximately net book value.  Joslyn does not expect to realize a loss as
a result of this transaction and may realize certain tax benefits not
previously recorded.  The divestiture should ultimately have a positive
cash flow impact of over $3 million.

Note 3:

On July 24, 1995, Danaher Corporation commenced a cash tender offer for
all the outstanding shares of common stock of Joslyn Corporation at a
price of $32 per share.<PAGE>
