    financial position as of September 30, 1995 and the results of
    operations for the three and nine month periods ended
    September 30, 1995 and 1994 and cash flows for the nine month
    periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  All such
    adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The results of
    operations for the three and nine month periods ended
    September 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.  In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
    issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 123, "Accounting
    for Stock-Based Compensation," which requires adoption no
    later than fiscal years beginning December 15, 1995.  The new
    standard defines a fair value method of accounting for stock
    options and similar equity instruments.  Under the fair value
    method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based
    on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the
    service period, which is usually the vesting period.

    Pursuant to the new standard, companies are encouraged, but
    not required, to adopt the fair value method of accounting for
    employee stock-based transactions.  Companies are also
    permitted to continue to account for such transactions under
    Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
    Stock Issued to Employees," but would be required to disclose
    in a note to the financial statements pro forma net income
    and, if presented, earnings per share as if the company had
    applied the new method of accounting.

    The accounting requirements of the new method are effective
    for all employee awards granted after the beginning of the
    fiscal year of adoption.  The Company has not yet determined
    if it will elect to change to the fair value method, nor has
    it determined the effect the new standard will have on net
    income and earnings per share should it elect to make such a
    change.  Adoption of the new standard will have not effect on
    the Company's cash flows.


3.  During December 1994, which was subsequent to the October 1994
    year-end of the Company's subsidiary Goulds Pumps Europe, B.V.
    (GPE), all of the outstanding common stock of Pumpenfabrik
<F50>
    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 under purchase accounting principles.

    The Company's pro forma unaudited results of operations for
    the nine months ended September 30, 1994, assuming acquisition
    of Vogel had occurred as of the beginning of the year, would
    have increased net sales by approximately $47.2 million and
    decreased net earnings per share by approximately $.05. 
    Adjustments made in arriving at preliminary pro forma
    unaudited results of operations included additional interest
    expense of $.6 million related to the $17.8 million of
    acquisition debt at 4.5% for the first nine months, related
    income tax adjustments and amortization of goodwill of $.4
    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.


4.  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 nine months 
    of 1995 relating to the following components:  costs to exit
    owned and leased facilities were $.6 million and costs of
<F50>
    termination benefits were $.5 million.  Changes in economic
    conditions and resulting changes in business strategies may
    have an impact on the implementation of the restructuring
    plan.  Presently, the Company believes the September 30, 1995
    reserve balance of $2.1 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 third quarter 1995 results reflected record
quarterly orders and sales levels, with earnings per share
increasing 75.0% over third quarter 1994 results.

         Third quarter 1995 net sales of $191.5 million were 23.6%
greater than the third quarter of 1994 and net earnings of $8.9
million increased 73.7% for the same period.  Without the effect of
the Company's latest acquisition, Vogel, Austria's leading pump
manufacturer, sales would have increased 11.1% and net earnings
would have increased 62.6% for the same period.  Third quarter
orders in 1995 were $199.9 million, up 24.2% over 1994 third
quarter orders of $160.9 million.  Without Vogel, third quarter
orders would have increased 11.2% compared with the third quarter
of 1994.  Backlog at September 30, 1995 was a record $159.4
million, 63.2% higher than backlog of $97.7 million at September
30, 1994.  Without Vogel's backlog of $30.1 million, the increase
would have been 32.3%.

         For the first nine months of the year, orders of $551.2
million increased 24.5%; sales of $532.2 million increased 20.5%
and net earnings of $22.6 million increased 56.6% over the first
nine months of 1994.  Without Vogel, orders would have increased
13.7%; sales would have increased 9.9% and net income would have
increased 52.1%.

         The Company's results for the third quarter of 1995 were
favorably impacted by a $.7 million pre-tax gain ($.02 per share)
on the sale of the BFI barrel pump product line.  The Company's
third quarter 1994 financial results were negatively impacted by a
$3.3 million pre-tax charge ($.10 per share) for legal and other
fees related to the Company's defense of lawsuits in California
alleging leaching of lead from submersible pumps.  This litigation
was settled in July, 1995, with $.8 million of the remaining legal
reserve reversed in the second quarter of 1995.

         In September 1995, Eric L. Steenburgh joined the Company as
President - Industrial Products Group.  Steenburgh will report to
Thomas C. McDermott, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and
President.  Prior to joining Goulds, Steenburgh, 54, was President
and Chief Operating Officer for Ricoh Corporation (USA), located in
West Caldwell, NJ.  Before joining Ricoh in 1992, he spent 27 years
with Xerox Corporation, and held several senior management
positions including having responsibility for all manufacturing
operations worldwide.

Results of Operations (continued)


Results of Operations

         The increase in sales of $90.6 million in the first nine
months of 1995 compared with the first nine months of 1994 is
composed of a $30.3 million or a 12.7% increase in Industrial
Products sector sales and a $60.3 million or a 29.8% increase in
Water Technologies sector sales.  Without Vogel sales, the
Industrial Products sales increase would have been 4.2% over 1994. 
Within the sector, the Engineered Products manufacturing facility
achieved record quarterly sales.  This achievement reflects
improvements in the throughput levels as the facility began the
implementation of "focused factories", expanded its subcontracting
base and hired additional production workers to meet higher levels
of demand.  Strong sales increases were also posted at the Vertical
Products, Slurry Pump and Canadian business units for the quarter.

         Excluding Vogel's results, the Water Technologies sales
increase would have been 16.6% in 1995 compared with 1994's first
nine months.  Leading the sector's increase was WTG-Europe (WTG-E)
which achieved sales growth of 24.2% on a translated basis largely
due to an expanded European sales presence.

         Third 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 28.7% for the first nine months of 1995 compared with
the first nine months of 1994.  Excluding Vogel, the Industrial
Products sector gross profit percentage increased to 27.9% in 1995
from 27.3% for the first nine months of 1994, primarily due to
margin improvements on a percentage basis at the PRO Shops, Mexico 
and Municipal Business Unit.  For the first nine months of 1995,
excluding Vogel, the Water Technologies sector's gross profit
percentage decreased to 29.7% from 30.2% in the first nine months
of 1994.  Gross margins were impacted by significantly higher raw
material costs in Italy due to the recent weakness of the Italian
lira compared to other European currencies.

         Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased to 29.0% in
the third quarter of 1995 compared with 28.6% for the third quarter
of 1994. Excluding Vogel, the Industrial Products sector gross
profit percentage increased to 27.2% in 1995 from 26.3% for the
third quarter of 1994, primarily due to margin improvements at the
Vertical Products Division, PRO Shops and the Municipal Business
Unit.  For the third quarter of 1995, excluding Vogel, the Water
Technologies sector's gross profit percentage remained relatively
constant at 31.1% compared with the third quarter of 1994.  Gross
margin decreases at WTG-E were offset by margin improvements at
WTG-America (WTG-A) and the Company's Philippine subsidiary.

Part I, Item 2

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


         At the Company's Environamics subsidiary, sales levels during 
1995 have been too low to cover production and operating costs,
resulting in operating losses.  The Company is evaluating ways to
reduce the cost infrastructure of this business unit in order to
eliminate the losses presently being sustained.

         As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 19.8% and 19.5%
for the first nine months and third quarter of 1995, respectively,
compared with 19.5% and 18.1% for the same periods a year ago.
These increases reflect the impact of Vogel's SG&A expenses in 1995
at a higher percentage to sales than other Goulds locations, and
SG&A costs associated with Environamics in 1995 which were
classified as research and development expenses in 1994 since the
division did not begin shipping products until late 1994.

         Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased 20.7% and
23.6% compared with the first nine months and third quarter,
respectively, of 1994.  The higher level in 1994  relates primarily
to Environamics costs which were classified as R&D expenses as
noted above.

         Earnings from affiliates decreased $.6 million for the first
nine months of 1995 compared with the same period 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 $3.4 million and $1.4 million in
the first nine months and third quarter, respectively, of 1995
compared with the first nine months and third quarter of 1994. 
These increases were primarily accounted for by the bank and
capital lease debt of Vogel assumed or incurred in connection with
the acquisition, in addition to increases in WTG-E debt levels used
to fund higher working capital needs.  

         Interest income decreased $1.4 million and $1.7 million for
the first nine months and third quarter, respectively, of 1995
compared with the same periods in 1994.  During the second and
third  quarter  1994, WTG-E entered into and completed a short-term
investment agreement whereby 8.3 billion lire were invested in
Brazil.  The net effect of this transaction was to increase WTG-E's
"other expense" due to transaction losses on the foreign exchange
of $1.7 million and increase interest income due to earnings from 
the investment of $1.4 million.  This transaction resulted in
increased profit after taxes due to tax credits available in Italy.
<F50>
Goulds Pumps, Incorporated    Form 10-Q/A
Part I, Item 2

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


         Excluding the impact of exchange losses on the 1994 WTG-E
Brazilian investment discussed above, other (income) expense - net
increased $2.2 million for the first nine months of 1995 compared
with the first nine months of 1994.  This increase was caused by
the May 1994 devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar which increased
1994 other expense by $.7 million and the positive impacts of other
income items in 1995, such as the gain on the sale of the BFI
barrel pump product line and Vogel customs refunds.

         The provision for income taxes represents 37.1% and 40.1% of
earnings before income taxes in the first nine months of 1995 and
1994, respectively, and 37.1% and 38.2% respectively, for the third
quarter of 1995 and 1994.  The higher tax rate during the first
nine months of 1994 was largely due to the negative tax impact
associated with adjustments for Mexican accounting irregularities
recorded in the first quarter of 1994.  The reduction in the tax
rate noted in the third quarter of 1995 compared with 1994 resulted
from a favorable tax rate mix within European tax jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows, $21.6 million of cash generated by net operating activities
and $4.3 millon of cash generated from financing activities
combined with a $2.0 million negative translation effect were
utilized to fund $21.3 million of net investing activities while
increasing cash and cash equivalents by $2.6 million.

         Significant items impacting cash flow from operating
activities (net of the effects of Vogel's opening balance sheet) in
1995 include a $28.4 million increase in receivables-net due to the
high level of third quarter shipments, and an $8.6 million increase
in inventories primarily at WTG-E to support its expanded European
sales presence.

         In the first nine months of 1995, capital additions were $18.9
million.  Significant  projects  included  equipment and building 
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.
<F50>

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


         Cumulative translation adjustments on the accompanying
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 1995 were
$9.9 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 4 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion.

Environmental Matters

         During the third quarter of 1995, the Company was named as a
defendant in an action brought by Seneca Meadows, Inc. and Macedon
Homes, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Western
District of New York (Rochester) seeking recovery of costs incurred
by Seneca Meadows, Inc. in responding to environmental
contamination at the Tantallo Landfill Site, located in the Town of
Seneca Falls, New York and by Macedon Homes, Inc. for damages
resulting from alleged contamination of certain property it owns in
the vicinity of the Tantallo Landfill Site.  In addition to the
Company, 22 other defendants are named in the action.

         Although the Company has just commenced its investigation into
the matters alleged in the complaint, the Company believes that
under applicable laws it should not bear any liability for the
claims of Seneca Meadows, Inc., which purchased the Tantallo
Landfill Site with full knowledge of its prior use and continued to
operate that Landfill after its acquisition.  The Company has no
information regarding the claim of Macedon Homes, Inc., but
believes, based upon applicable principles of law, that it has no
liability to Macedon Homes, Inc.

         The Company has answered the complaint by denying the material
allegations and asserting various affirmative defenses, cross-
claims and counter-claims.  The Company's investigation into the
allegations in these actions is in preliminary phases, and,
therefore, no reserve has been established relative to these
claims.

         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
<F50>
Goulds Pumps, Incorporated    Form 10-Q/A

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

York.  At September 30, 1995, the remaining reserve was $1.7
million.  The remediation plan has been approved by the New York
State DEC and is expected to be completed by the end of 1996.  The
Company does not currently expect any additional material expenses
in future years associated with this site.

         Apart from issues discussed above, the Company is not
currently aware of other environmental matters which would have any
material impact on recurring costs, capital expenditures, or
mandated expenditures.


Orders and Backlog

         For the third quarter of 1995, orders were a record $199.9
million, a 24.2% increase compared with orders for the third
quarter of 1994 of $160.9 million.  Without Vogel, total third 
quarter 1995 orders were $179.0 million or an 11.2% increase over
third quarter 1994 orders levels.  The increase in orders,
excluding Vogel, is composed of a $9.8 million or 12.7% increase in
Water Technologies orders while Industrial Products orders
increased $8.3 million or 9.8% year over year.  

         For the first nine months of 1995, orders of $551.2 million
represented a 24.5% increase over orders of $442.6 million for the
first nine months of 1994.  Without Vogel, total orders for the
nine months of 1995 were $503.1 million or a 13.7% increase over
orders for the first nine months 1994.  The increase, excluding
Vogel, is composed of a $29.7 million or 14.4% increase in Water
Technologies orders while Industrial Products orders increased
$30.8 million or 13.0% year over year.  Industrial orders increases
reflect the continued strength in the Company's core markets,
especially the chemical and pulp and paper markets.  Industrial
repair orders jumped 21.2% for the quarter and strong overall order
increases were noted in Asia-Pacific and Canada compared to the
third quarter of 1994.  Water Technologies orders increases for the
quarter were mainly driven by the international markets, including
Europe, which posted an increase of 32.1% in local currency.  The
U.S. residential water market continued to be relatively soft.

         Backlog increased from $97.7 million at September 30, 1994 to
a record $159.4 million at September 30, 1995.  Without Vogel's
backlog of $30.1 million, backlog would have been $129.3 million at
September 30, 1995.  Excluding Vogel, Industrial Products backlog
increased $25.3 million while the Water Technologies backlog
increased $6.3 million from September 30, 1994 levels. 
Consolidated backlog at December 31, 1994 was $113.8 million.
