           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
    condensed consolidated financial statements contain all
    adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company's
    financial position as of June 30, 1995 and the results of
    operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
    1995 and 1994 and cash flows for the six month periods ended
    June 30, 1995 and 1994.  The results of operations for the six
    month period ended June 30, 1995 are not necessarily
    indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year
    of 1995.

    The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth
    in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements
    in the 1994 Goulds Pumps, Incorporated Annual Report on Form
    10-K, which is incorporated by reference.


2.  During December 1994, which was subsequent to the 1994 year-
    end of the Company's subsidiary Goulds Pumps Europe, B.V.
    (GPE), all of the outstanding common stock of Pumpenfabrik
    Ernst Vogel AG (Vogel) was acquired for $17.8 million. 
    Although this acquisition occurred subsequent to GPE's year-
    end, the investment in Vogel was recorded as a line item on
    the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1994 since the
    borrowing for the acquisition had been completed, together
    with the corresponding advance to the Company's subsidiary. 
    In 1995, the financial statements of Vogel are consolidated in
    the Company's financial statements presented herein under the
    purchase accounting method.  For reporting purposes, Vogel has
    an October 31 year-end, like that of its direct parent, GPE.

    The excess of the allocated purchase price over the fair value
    of net tangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill in
    the amount of $25.7 million and is being amortized over
    periods of 30 years or less.  In the accompanying consolidated
    financial statements, the allocation of the purchase price to
    the acquired assets and liabilities of Vogel is preliminary
    and may change as various studies, evaluations, and appraisals
    are completed.                        

    The Company's pro forma unaudited results of operations for
    the six months ended June 30, 1994, assuming acquisition of
    Vogel had occurred as of the beginning of the year, would have
    increased net sales by approximately $32.6 million and
    decreased net earnings per share by approximately $.04. 
    Adjustments made in arriving at preliminary pro forma
    unaudited results of operations included additional interest
    expense of $.4 million related to the $17.8 million of
    acquisition debt at 4.5% for the quarter, related income tax
<F50>

     NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


    adjustments and amortization of goodwill of $.3 million.  The
    unaudited pro forma results of operations are not necessarily
    indicative of results that would have been attained had the 
    Vogel business been acquired at the beginning of 1994, nor are
    they consistent with management's expectation of future
    performance.


3.  In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company executed a
    restructuring plan to align its continuing global operations
    with management's long-term objectives.  As a result, a
    restructuring charge of $3.5 million pre-tax and a related
    liability for such costs were recorded in the Company's
    consolidated financial statements in the fourth quarter.  The
    restructuring plan included the downsizing of the Company's
    California, Netherlands, and Mexican based operations, and the
    consolidation of sales offices, PRO Service Centers, and other
    Company facilities.  As a result, the related cost to exit
    owned and leased facilities was $1.1 million.  The
    restructuring included the termination of 149 employees from
    manufacturing, selling, and general and administrative
    departments.  The related termination benefits included in the
    restructuring charge were $2.4 million.

    The balance in the restructuring reserve at December 31, 1994
    was $3.2 million.  The following charges against the
    restructuring reserve were recorded in the first half of 1995
    relating to the following components:  costs to exit owned and
    leased facilities were $.6 million; costs of termination
    benefits were $.4 million; and offsetting translation impacts
    were $.1 million.  The Company believes the June 30, 1995
    reserve balance of $2.3 million is adequate to complete the
    restructuring plan.  The restructuring plan is currently
    anticipated to result in savings in the range of $2.2 million
    pre-tax in 1995 with annual savings estimated to be $3.3
    million pre-tax in 1996 and beyond.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations



Overview


         The Company's second quarter 1995 results reflected the
highest quarterly orders and sales levels in its history with
increases of 28.4% and 20.4% respectively over the second quarter
of 1994.  Earnings per share rose 50.0% over second quarter 1994
results.

         Second quarter 1995 net sales were a record $180.7 million, 
compared with $150.1 million for the second quarter of 1994. 
Without the effect of the Company's latest acquisition, Vogel,
Austria's leading pump manufacturer, sales would have increased
9.8% and net earnings would have increased 49.3% for the same
period.  Second quarter orders in 1995 were $187.3 million compared
with 1994 second quarter orders of $145.9 million.  Without Vogel's
second quarter orders, orders would have increased 16.9% compared
to the second quarter of 1994.  Backlog at June 30, 1995 was a
record $151.7 million, 66.8% higher than backlog of $90.9 million
at June 30, 1994.  Without Vogel's backlog of $28.6 million, the
increase would have been 35.3%.

         For the first six months of the year, orders of $351.2 million
increased 24.7%; sales of $340.7 million increased 18.8% and net
earnings of $13.7 million increased 47.2% over the first half of
1994.  Without Vogel, orders would have increased 15.1%; sales
would have increased 9.3% and net income would have increased
48.7%.

         On July 29, 1995, members of the United Steelworkers of
America Local Union #3298 voted to ratify new four-year contracts
with the Company by a six-to-one margin.  The new agreements, which
took effect August 1, cover approximately 800 hourly employees at
the Company's Engineered Products and Water Systems plants in
Seneca Falls, New York.  The current contract was due to expire
November 10, 1995.  For the first time in the Company's history,
the different business operating needs of the Industrial Products
and Water Technologies segments have been recognized by the
establishment of two separate collective bargaining agreements. 
Written into the new agreements are important commitments by both
the Union and the Company to continue working together to improve
efficiency, quality of work life and employee productivity through
methods changes and innovative work practices in the two Seneca
Falls plants.  These cooperative approaches will provide more
flexibility in moving toward cellular manufacturing and focused
factories.  The contracts also include a number of other changes
which will yield productivity gains, including how standards are
set for incentive compensation.  The settlements call for wage
increases on base pay only, excluding  incentive pay, of 3% in each 

<F50>

Part I, Item 2

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)


of the first three years of the contracts and 3.5% in the last
year, increased pension benefits, and a no-layoff provision for
employees with six or more years of service.   The contracts also
state that if the Company needs to expand or modify its current
Water Technologies manufacturing facility in Seneca Falls, it will
do so in Seneca County, New York.

         In July 1995, Michael T. Tomaino joined the Company as Vice
President, General Counsel and Secretary, assuming the
responsibilities of Eugene B. Bradshaw who will be retiring later
this year.

         On August 2, 1995, John Morphy, Group Vice President -
Industrial Products, notified the Company of his intention to
resign effective August 31, 1995.  Until a successor is named,
Thomas C. McDermott, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, will
assume overall responsibility for the Company's Industrial Products
sector.

         The Company expects the continuation of broad-based strength
in its core markets through the remainder of 1995.  Management
remains focused on its strategic imperatives and continues to
believe that current actions will lead to stronger performance for
the remainder of 1995 compared with last year.


Results of Operations

         The increase in sales of $54.0 million in the first half of 
1995 compared with the first six months of 1994 is composed of an
$11.6 million or a 7.2% increase in Industrial Products sector
sales and a $42.4 million or 33.4% increase in Water Technologies
sector sales.  Without Vogel sales, the Industrial Products sales
increase would have been 1.0% over 1994.  This increase included
the strong shipments performance of the PRO Shops and Goulds Pumps
Canada which reflected the resurgence of the Canadian economy and
growth in the pulp and paper core  market.   Within the sector, the
Engineered Products manufacturing facility, located in Seneca
Falls, was impacted by production issues and the Vertical Products
facility in California had a difficult quarter with lower sales
than 1994, due to delays in customer acceptance of two large
shipments and temporary production scheduling matters.  Both are
expected to increase their output in the third and fourth quarters
of 1995 and beyond as the implementation of a comprehensive
manufacturing strategy based primarily on the focused factory
concept progresses and the other manufacturing issues are resolved.

         If  Vogel's  results  were  excluded,  the Water  Technologies
sales increase would have been 19.7% compared with 1994's first
<F50>

Results of Operations (continued)



half.  Leading the sector's increases was WTG-Europe (WTG-E) which
achieved sales growth of 22.9% on a translated basis.

         Second quarter sales results are discussed in the "Overview"
section of Management's Discussion and Analysis above.

         Gross margin as a percentage of sales remained relatively
constant at 28.6% for the first six months of 1995 compared with
the first half of 1994.  Excluding Vogel, the Industrial Products
sector gross profit percentage increased to 28.3% in 1995 from
27.8% for the first half of 1994, primarily due to margin
improvements at the PRO Shops.  For the first half of 1995,
excluding Vogel, the Water Technologies sector's gross profit
percentage decreased to 29.0% from 29.7% in the first half of 1994. 
Gross margins were impacted by higher raw material costs in Europe
due to the recent weakness of the Italian lira.

         Gross margin as a percentage decreased to 28.7% in the second
quarter of 1995 compared with 29.5% for the second quarter of 1994.
Excluding Vogel, the Industrial Products sector gross profit
percentage decreased to 27.6% in 1995 from 28.3% for the second
quarter of 1994, primarily due to margin declines at the Vertical
Product Division.  For the second quarter of 1995, excluding Vogel,
the Water Technologies sector's gross profit percentage decreased
to 29.2% from 31.0% in the second quarter of 1994.  Gross margins
again  were impacted by higher raw material costs in Europe due to
the recent weakness of the Italian lira.

         As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 19.7% and 18.7%
for the first six months and second quarter of 1995 respectively,
compared with 20.4% and 20.6% for the same periods a year ago,
reflecting the reversal of the remaining legal reserve of $.8
million in the second quarter for litigation related to submersible
water pumps recorded.  (See litigation discussion in "Legal
Proceedings", below.)  SG&A expenses in the first half and second
quarter of 1994 also reflected the negative impact of a non-
recurring $1.5 million management restructuring charge recorded in
June, 1994.

         Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased 19.1% and
26.9% compared with the first six months and second quarter,
respectively, of 1994.  The higher level of R&D expenses in 1994
relates primarily to Environamics which did not begin shipping
product until late 1994.  In 1995, the Company anticipates that it
will continue to invest in new product development, as well as in
enhancements to existing products, but at a slightly lower
percentage of sales than in 1994 due to the reduction in R&D
expense at Environamics.
<F50>

Part I, Item 2

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)


         Earnings from affiliates decreased $.7 million and $.2 million
for the first half and second quarter of 1995 compared with the
same periods in 1994.  This decrease is due primarily to the shift
in control of Oil Dynamics, Inc. (ODI), formerly a 50%-owned joint
venture, to Franklin Electric Co. in late 1994.  In 1995, the
Company's investment in ODI, currently at 3%, is recorded under the
"cost method" of accounting and therefore ODI's results are not
reflected in the Company's financial statements.

         Interest expense increased $2.1 million and $1.4 million in
the first six months and second quarter, respectively, of 1995
compared with the first half and second quarter 1994.  These
increases were primarily accounted for by the bank and capital
lease debt of Vogel assumed in connection with the acquisition. 
Interest income increased $.3 million for the first six months of
1995 over the same period in 1994 primarily due to Vogel's impact
on reported results.

         Other expense decreased $.8 million for the first six months
of 1995 compared with the first half of 1994.  This decrease is due
primarily to the May 1994 devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar
which increased 1994 Other expense by $.6 million.

         The provision for income taxes represents 37.1% and 41.1% of
earnings before income taxes in the first half of 1995 and 1994,
respectively, and the second quarter of both years.  The higher tax
rate in 1994 was largely due to the negative tax impact associated
with adjustments for Mexican accounting irregularities recorded in
the first quarter of 1994.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows, $16.0 million of cash generated by net financing activities
and $1.8 millon of cash generated from operating activities
combined with a $2.3 million negative translation effect were
utilized to fund $15.4 million of net investing activities while
increasing cash and cash equivalents by $.1 million.

         Significant items impacting cash flow from operating
activities (net of the effects of Vogel's opening balance sheet) in
1995 include a $23.9 million increase in receivables-net due to the
high level of second quarter shipments, and a $2.4 million increase
in inventories primarily at WTG-E, to support its expanded European
sales presence and at EPD which is currently experiencing
production difficulties.

         In the first six months of 1995, capital additions were $13.0
million.  Significant  projects  included  equipment and building 
<F50>
Goulds Pumps, Incorporated     Form 10-Q
Part I, Item 2

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)


additions, primarily at WTG-E.  The Company expects to spend
approximately $30 million in total capital expenditures for the
year.

         The Company expects that debt levels by the end of 1995 will
be higher than those at December 31, 1994, due primarily to the
bank and capital lease debt assumed in connection with the
acquisition of Vogel.  The Company believes cash from operations
and available credit facilities are sufficient to meet its
liquidity needs during 1995.

         Cumulative translation adjustments on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 1995 were $12.4 million
compared to $9.2 million at December 31, 1994, reflecting the
weakening of the Italian lira and the Mexican peso against the U.S.
dollar since the fourth quarter of 1994.  Future currency
devaluations could occur at some of the Company's international
locations, including Venezuela.  The Company evaluates on an on-
going basis methods to minimize the impact of devaluations on
operations and reported operating results.

         In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company executed a
restructuring plan to align its continuing global operations with
management's long-term objectives.  See Note 3 to the consolidated
financial statement for a more detailed discussion.


Environmental Matters

         The Company announced on June 15, 1995, the settlement of the
submersible water pump litigation in California.  This settlement
resulted in the reversal of certain previously recorded legal fee
accruals for the vigorous defense of this litigation and such
reversal, amounting to approximately $.02 per share, is included in
these reported financial results.  (See "Legal Proceedings",
below.)

         The Company recorded a $2.0 million provision in the fourth
quarter of 1991 for estimated environmental costs to monitor and
remediate an inactive Company landfill site in Seneca Falls, New
York.  At June 30, 1995, the remaining reserve was $1.8 million. 
The remediation plan has been approved by the New York State DEC
and is expected to be completed in 1995 or early 1996.  The Company
does not currently expect any additional material expenses in
future years associated with this site.

         Apart from issues discussed above for which reserves have been
established in respect of environmental matters, the Company is not
currently aware of other environmental matters which would have any
<F50>

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)


material impact on recurring costs, capital expenditures, or
mandated expenditures.


Orders and Backlog

         For the second quarter of 1995, orders were a record $187.3
million, a 28.4% increase compared with orders for the second
quarter of 1994 of $145.9 million.  Without Vogel, total second
quarter 1995 orders were $170.6 million or a 16.9% increase over
second quarter 1994 orders levels.  The increase in orders,
excluding Vogel, is composed of a $12.0  million or 17.6% increase
in Water Technologies orders while Industrial Products orders
increased $12.7 million or 16.4% year over year.  

         For the first six months of 1995, orders of $351.2 million
represented a 24.7% increase over orders of $281.7 million for the
first half of 1994.  Without Vogel, total first half 1995 orders
were $324.1 million or a 15.1% over first half 1994 orders levels. 
The first half orders increase, excluding Vogel, is composed of a
$19.9 million or 15.4% increase in Water Technologies orders while
Industrial Products orders increased $22.5 million or 14.7% year
over year.  Industrial orders increases reflect a continuation of
higher capital spending and higher operating activities in the
Company's core markets, especially the chemical and pulp and paper
markets.  Order levels at all the sector's major segments showed
increases well into double digits for the first six months of 1995
compared to the first half of 1994.  Water Technologies orders
reflected broad-based global strength with increases in orders
reported in the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America, and Europe
which complemented North American increases.

         Backlog increased from $90.9 million at June 30, 1994 to a
record $151.7 million at June 30, 1995.  Without Vogel's backlog of
$28.6 million, backlog would have been $123.1 million at June 30,
1995.  Excluding Vogel, Industrial Products backlog increased $28.8
million while the Water Technologies backlog increased $3.4 million
from June 30, 1994 levels.  Consolidated backlog at December 31,
1994 was $113.8 million.

                        PART II.  Other Information


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         On June 15, 1995, the Company reached an agreement in
principle to settle two consolidated legal actions in the Superior
Court of California in which the legality of its past sales of
submersible water pumps made with brass components was challenged. 
On July 21, 1995, a Consent Judgment incorporating the terms of the
agreement was approved by the Court and filed.  Both lawsuits were
filed April 18, 1994; one by the California Attorney General and
the other by two environmental groups.  The lawsuits alleged the
unlawful discharge of lead into sources of drinking water through
leaching from pumps manufactured by the Company and other
manufacturers, as well as failure to warn consumers of potential
exposure to lead.

         The Consent Judgment, which provides that the Company does not
admit, and specifically denies, any violation of law, provides that
the Company will pay a total of $343,750, a substantial portion of
which is to cover attorneys' fees and costs incurred by some
plaintiffs.

         Although the Company believes that it had never violated
California's Proposition 65 standards or other legal requirements,
the Company believes it was in the best interests of its
shareholders and customers to resolve these issues, rather than
continue lengthy and costly litigation.

(1)      Earnings per share information is based on weighted average number of shares of common
         stock outstanding during each period.  No effect has been given to options outstanding
         under the Company's Stock Option Plans as no material dilutive effect would result from
         the exercise of these options.

(2)      This calculation is submitted in accordance with Securities Exchange Act of 1934
         Release No. 9038 although not required by APB Opinion No. 15 since no material dilutive
         effect would result from the exercise of these items.
