NOTE 6   ENVIRONMENT MATTERS

         The Company has been a party to the following
environmental
         matters:

         DEP Matter:
            An environmental assessment of the Corporate
headquarters in
            connection with a proposed bank financing in
1987 revealed
            that there may have been a release or threat of
release of
            oil or hazardous materials and that an off-site
source may
            be introducing the contaminants.  The Company
notified the
            Massachusetts Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP).
            In 1995 the site was designated as a Tier 1C
Site under the
            Massachusetts Contingency Plan and the Company
must complete
            a further site investigation by November 1997.

            One of the Company's insurance carriers has paid
the Company
            $70,000 to be used as the Company determines in
defense of
            the DEP proceeding in exchange for a release of
any further
            claim with respect to this matter.  In addition,
            environmental engineers employed by the Company
estimate
            that the required remediation costs will be a
minimum of
            $45,000.

        Shrewsbury matter:
            The Shrewsbury environmental litigation was
settled in
            January, 1997 and the effects of that settlement
reflected
            in the financial statements for the year ended
            September 28, 1996.

        In the accompanying financial statements, the
miscellaneous
        receivable represents amounts due from insurance
carriers with
        respect to environmental matters and accrued
environmental costs
        represents amounts due the Town of Shrewsbury and
the minimum

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FISCAL QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO
FISCAL QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

     Goddard enjoyed a productive second quarter with sales
and earnings well ahead of last year.  For the quarter ended
March 31, 1997 consolidated sales were $2,873,000, a 39.7%
increase over the same quarter for the prior year.  During
the preceding 12 months, the order backlog in the Valve
division had reached record levels and delivery times had
lengthened.  The Company purchased additional new machinery
and added a second shift, enabling it to increase levels of
production, shorten the delivery time for new orders, and
increase revenues.  As a result of this increased output,
backlog has been reduced.

     Gross profits as a percentage of sales increased from
32% to 34.2% over the corresponding quarter of the prior
year, primarily as a result of larger orders and changes in
product mix.  Selling and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales declined to 18.7% in the quarter ended
March 31, 1997 compared to 21% for the same quarter of
fiscal 1996, as those expenses did not increase at the same
rate as sales.

      As a result of the increase in sales volume, improved
operating efficiencies and changes in product mix, income
from operations almost doubled to $446,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997, compared to $228,000 in the same
quarter of fiscal 1996.  Earnings, at $254,000 ($.12/share),
were approximately double the $125,000 earnings ($.06/share)
reported for the same quarter in fiscal 1996.

      While the order backlog in the Valve division has been
reduced as a result of the Company's improved output, the
growth in the level of new orders experienced over the last
few quarters appears to have leveled off.  Management
anticipates that new product lines now in the prototype
stage which are being developed for the Valve division will
enter production late this year, and that these lines will
increase sales volume.  Management believes that the
development of these new lines reflecting advanced product
design, together with the Company's emphasis on prompt,
dependable service, help the Company maintain its
competitive position as a leader in the cryogenic valve
industry.  The Webstone Division also has been adding new
plumbing items and an array of high styled faucets to its
product offerings, which will be introduced when its new
catalog is published for national distribution in mid-May
1997.










                              - 9 -

SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO
SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

      Both sales and earnings for the six months ended March
31, 1997 were up substantially over the same period last
fiscal year.  Consolidated sales for the six month period
ended March 31, 1997 were $5,862,000, a 52.4% increase over
the $3,847,000 recorded for the same period in fiscal 1996.
The increase in sales resulted from larger blanket orders
received in prior periods and sales of recently developed
product lines, as well as increased production in the most
recent quarter.

      Gross profits as a percentage of sales increased to
34.4% for the six month period ended March 31, 1997,
compared to 32.4% for corresponding period of fiscal 1996,
reflecting the economies involved in larger orders and
favorable product mix.  Selling and administrative expenses
as a percentage of sales declined from 21.1% in the first
six months of fiscal 1996 to 17.7% in the first six months
of fiscal 1997, as those expenses did not increase
proportional to increased sales.

      Income from operations as a percentage of sales
increased from 11.3% in the first six months of fiscal 1996
to 16.6% in the first six months of fiscal 1997, reflecting
the improved operating efficiencies, economy of larger
orders, favorable product mix and increased output.  As a
result, net income during the six month period improved to
$562,000 (or $.26 per share) compared to $234,000 (or $.12
per share) for the same period of fiscal 1996, a 140%
increase.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Historically, the Company has funded operations
primarily through earnings and bank borrowings.  At March
31, 1996, the Company had net working capital of
approximately $4,062,000, including $110,000 in cash.  The
Company also had a line of credit of $1,750,000 from
BankBoston collarteralized by substantially all of the
assets of the Company.  At March 31, 1997, approximately
$785,000 have been drawn under the line of credit, which
bears interest at a rate equal to the bank's prime rate plus
3/4s of 1%.

      During the first six months of fiscal 1997, operating
activities of the Company provided $269,000 of cash.  Cash
was generated principally from earnings ($562,000),
increases in accounts payable ($119,000) and depreciation
and amortization ($116,000).  The principal uses of cash
were increases in accounts receivable ($321,000), decreased
tax liabilities ($100,000) and net environmental settlement
obligations ($55,000).

      During the six month period, the Company used
approximately $67,000 to purchase machinery and equipment,
and repayment of financing consumed approximately $158,000.








                                 - 10 -

      The Company borrows funds for periods of up to five
years for the purchase of new machinery and meets the
required amortization and interest payments from its current
working capital.  The Company plans to add an additional
10,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space to
the rear of its existing building in Worcester.  Its lending
bank has agreed to allow it to finance the addition using
moneys available under the existing line of credit.  The
Company believes that the remaining amounts available under
its line of credit after that borrowing, plus cash flow from
operations and other available sources, should provide
sufficient liquidity to handle the normal working capital
requirements of its present business.

      As described in Note 6 to the financial statements,
the Company is a party to an administrative environmental
proceed which the Company does not anticipate will have a
material effect on the Company's financial resources.

      Inflation has not been a factor in the Company's
business for the last several years, although there can be
no assurance that this will continue to be the case.  The
Company's results of operations have not been materially
affected by seasonality.
