3.       On April 19, 1994, the Company acquired A.B. Chance Industries, Inc.,
         a manufacturer of electrical apparatus, anchors, hardware, insulators,
         hot-line tools and other safety equipment.  The acquisition was for
         $110 million in cash and was recorded under the purchase method of
         accounting.  Accordingly, the results of operations for the acquired
         business has been included in the consolidated statement of income
         only from its acquisition date.  Had the business been acquired on the
         first day of 1994 unaudited proforma net sales and net income for the
         year-to-date period ending June 30, 1994 would have been $510,630,000
         and $51,847,000, respectively.  The proforma results are not
         necessarily indicative of the results that would have been obtained
         had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 1994, nor are they
         necessarily indicative of the results that may occur in the future.

ITEM 2            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                               JUNE 30, 1995

                            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 1995 increased by 13%
as substantially all operating units reported increases with particularly
strong growth for the Lighting, Industrial Controls, Ohio Brass, Pulsecom and
Premise Wiring businesses.  The sales growth primarily reflects the improved
economic conditions in the United States and Canadian markets from a year
ago.  Operating income increased 16% on the higher sales volume and the
benefit of improved operating efficiencies from the Company's restructuring
program which more than offset the increased costs for materials.
Year-to-date net sales and operating income increased by 22% and 21%,
respectively, on generally improved market conditions and the inclusion for
the full six months of 1995 of A.B. Chance which was acquired in April 1994.
The inclusion of A.B. Chance was approximately four percentage points of the
increases, respectively.

       Low Voltage segment sales for the second quarter increased 12%
reflecting the improved market conditions in the United States and Canada.
While all product lines in the segment showed improvement, fluorescent
lighting and industrial controls were particularly strong.  Operating profits
increased 8% on higher sales which include a higher mix of lower margined
products.  Year-to-date net sales and operating profits increased by 13% and
11%, respectively, as sales during the second quarter continued to increase but
at a marginally lower rate than the first quarter.

       For the quarter, High Voltage segment sales increased 5% on higher
sales of power cables, surge arresters and insulators and moderate
improvement in other product lines.  Operating profits increased  9% on
higher sales volumes and benefits from the realignment of administrative and
sales functions within the segment.  Year-to-date sales increased 29% and
operating profits increased 16% from the inclusion of A.B. Chance high voltage
products since its acquisition in April 1994, and moderate growth in all product
lines.

       Other industry segment sales increased 18% for the quarter on improved
shipments in almost all categories with especially strong improvements in
telecommunications and wire management products.  Operating profits increased
31% on the improved sales volume of higher margined telecommunications
products and improved operating efficiencies.  Year-to-date sales and
operating profits increased by over 30% on improved market conditions and
inclusion, from the acquisition of A.B. Chance, products used in building and
maintenance of electric power and telephone lines.

       On a year-to-date basis, sales through the Company's International
based subsidiaries increased 38% on the strong performance of the Canadian
business and inclusion of A.B. Chance's foreign operations which accounted
for ten percentage points of the increase.  Sales from our subsidiaries in Asia
and Europe were slightly ahead of last year while Mexican shipments declined    
due to the economic recession brought on by the devaluation of the peso. 
Operating income increased on the higher sales volume and operating
efficiencies of the restructured Canadian operation.  As a percentage of total
consolidated sales, International subsidiaries were 6% in 1995 and 1994 with 
the Canadian market representing approximately 60% of international sales.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                 JUNE 30, 1995



       Interest income, year-to-date, increased as a result of higher interest
rates. Interest expense increased due to a higher average level of commercial
paper outstanding during the first three months of 1995 combined with higher
interest rates.  The increase in other expenses is due to the costs associated
with the expansion of the corporate owned life insurance program to include the
A.B. Chance operations.  The effective tax rate for 1995 is 27%.  In the second
quarter of 1994, the effective tax rate was increased to 27% due to the impact
of the acquisition of A.B. Chance with its higher effective tax rate.  The
Company's tax rate benefits from the lower taxes on earnings in its Puerto Rico
operations and continued emphasis on generating tax-exempt income. Net
income and earnings per share for the second quarter increased 14%,     
respectively, while the year-to-date increase was 15%, respectively.

       The Company's restructuring program is proceeding according to
management's plan.  During the quarter, the second phase of capacity expansion
in Puerto Rico to accommodate plastic molding began; transfer of equipment and
operations into the new facility in Juarez, Mexico also began and consolidation
of warehousing and distribution operations is continuing. With the high level of
business activity, certain operational realignments have taken somewhat longer
than originally planned to minimize any adverse impact on customer service.  At
June 30, 1995, the restructuring accrual balance was $22,504,000 of which
$12,000,000 is classified as current liability.  Through June 30, 1995,
cumulative costs charged to the restructuring accrual were $27,496,000 as

                              HUBBELL INCORPORATED
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                 JUNE 30, 1995

                       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       At June 30, 1995, the Company's financial position remained strong
with working capital of $183.2 million and a current ratio of 1.6 to 1.

       Net cash provided by operations was comparable to prior periods and
has been more than sufficient to fund increased working capital in support of
higher sales.   Depreciation and amortization has increased reflecting the
acquisition of A.B. Chance and a higher level of depreciable assets.  As
sales volumes increased, accounts receivable increased accordingly.  To
support service levels, inventories have also increased.

       Selected portfolio securities with low dividend yields were liquidated
for $36.6 million which approximated carrying value.  Commercial paper
borrowings have been reduced by $18.0 million since December 31, 1994.  The
total of commercial paper and long term debt at June 30, 1995, was 19.4% of
shareholders equity.  On June 14, 1995, the Board of Directors increased the
common stock dividend per share to an annual rate of $1.88 or  $.47 per 
quarter, an increase of 9.3% over the former cash payment rate of $1.72 or
$.43 per quarter.

        The Company believes that currently available cash, borrowing
facilities, and its ability to increase its credit lines if needed, combined
with internally generated funds should be more than sufficient to fund capital
expenditures as well as any increase in working capital that would be required
to accommodate a higher level of business activity.
