(2)    Acquisitions and Divestitures:

   Effective March 31, 1995, Katy purchased all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of GC Thorsen, Inc. (GCT), a leading value-added marketer and
distributor of electronic and electrical parts and accessories and nonpowered
hand tools.  The purchase price, including acquisition costs, was
approximately $24,000,000, of which $19,500,000 was financed through Katy's
bank line of credit.  The acquisition has been accounted for under the
purchase method.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of
the net assets acquired of approximately $4,200,000 is included in Other
Assets - Miscellaneous on the accompanying balance sheet and is being
amortized over 20 years.

   Effective August 10, 1995, Katy purchased the assets of Gemtex Company
Limited and its United States affiliate, Gemtex Abrasives, Inc.  Gemtex is
a manufacturer and distributor of coated abrasives for the automotive,
industrial and retail markets. The purchase price was approximately
$6,900,000 in cash and approximated net book value.

   On June 30, 1995, Katy sold one half of its 75% interest (90,000 shares) in
Schoen & Cie, AG (Schoen) to Pegasus Beteiligungen AG of Heidelberg, Germany.
The sale, which is irrevocable, was made on the basis of a contingent price,
whereby Katy will receive two-thirds of the amount ultimately realized by
Pegasus in any future sale of such shares, or, under some circumstances,
Katy will be entitled to find a purchaser for two-thirds of such shares
and receive the proceeds of the sale thereof. Katy continues to hold 90,000
shares, or a 37.5% interest in Schoen.  With the reduction in its ownership
interest and influence, Katy is reporting its continuing investment in
Schoen using the equity method of accounting for this minority owned
subsidiary effective June 30, 1995.  In connection with the sale, in the
quarter ended June 30, 1995, Katy recorded a gain of $4,920,000 reflecting
the reversal of previously recorded losses of Schoen and a deferred tax
asset of $3,000,000.

    Katy has previously stated its intent to not fund future operations of
Schoen and has no legal liability for any of Schoen liabilities.  Katy's
investment in Schoen is recorded at zero as of September 30, 1995.
 
    On June 14, 1995, Katy sold its B.M. Root operation to a group led by
the former General Manager of the operation.  The sale price of approximately
$700,000 represented the approximate net book value.   

    On August 25, 1995, Katy sold the assets and business of the Laboratory
Equipment Division of its Bach-Simpson Limited operation to a group composed
primarily of former managers of the division.  The sale price was
approximately $900,000 in cash and approximated net book value.
 
    The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations of Katy for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995, reflecting the allocation of the
purchase and related costs of the GC Thorsen transaction and the sale of 50%
of Katy's interest in Schoen, would have been as follows (in thousands
except per share amounts), assuming that the Thorsen acquisition and the
Schoen sale had taken place at the beginning of the period.

       The financial statements of Syratech Corporation included herein are
for the nine months ended June 30, 1995, which is the latest date available.
On March 28, 1995, Syratech sold its subsidiary, Syroco, Inc., for
$140,000,000 resulting in a gain of $30,451,000 which Syratech reported in
the quarter ended June 30, 1995. Katy's share of the gain ($4,904,000,
net of tax) is reflected in Equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries
as Gain on sale of Syroco.  Syroco's results from operations are shown above
and in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations as a discontinued
operation.  

(4)    Marketable Securities

       In the third quarter of 1995, Katy sold 248,566 shares of Union Pacific
Corporation common stock for proceeds of $15,550,000, resulting in a pre-tax 
gain of $7,675,000.




(5)    Special Dividend

       On June 29, 1994, Katy's Board of Directors declared a special cash
dividend of $14.00 per share on Katy's common stock, payable
August 19, 1994 to stockholders of record at the close of business on
July 22, 1994.

(6)    Nonrecurring Items

       During the second quarter of 1994 Katy provided $6,156,000 of
inventory and other adjustments at certain subsidiaries, which were
primarily inventory adjustments within the industrial machinery group. 
Katy management also concluded that the value ($2,708,000) of the Seghers
waste-to-energy technology that was acquired in 1987 had been significantly
impaired and wrote it off in the second quarter of 1994.  In April, 1994
management of Katy met with Katy's oil exploration joint venture partners
and, based on current facts and circumstances, Katy decided to not commit
further funds to the oil exploration project and will not participate in
any further activities on the site.  Accordingly, in the first quarter of
1994 Katy wrote off its
$6,580,000 investment.


(7)     Stock Repurchase Program

    On August 4, 1995 Katy's Board of Directors authorized the company to
repurchase up to 400,000 shares of its common stock over the next twelve
months in open market transactions.  In connection therewith, Katy
repurchased 226,700 of its common shares in the quarter ended
September 30, 1995 at a total cost of $2,143,000.




















LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    During the nine months ended September 30, 1995 working capital decreased
$9,416,000 compared to December 31, 1994.   Current ratios were 1.71 to 1.00
at September 30, 1995 and 2.00 to 1.00 at December 31, 1994, respectively.
The decrease in working capital and in the current ratio results primarily
from short-term borrowings in connection with the acquisition of GC Thorsen on
March 31, 1995. In the nine months ended September 30, 1995, Katy had 
capital expenditures of $6,781,000, and expects to incur an additional 
$2,000,000 for capital projects during the remainder of 1995.  Funding for 
these expenditures and for working capital needs is expected to be 
accomplished substantially through use of internally generated funds from 
operations supplemented by short-term borrowing.  During the third quarter of
1995 Katy sold 248,566 shares of Union Pacific Corporation common stock for 
proceeds of $15,550,000 and, under a plan authorized by the Board of 
Directors on August 4, 1995, repurchased 226,700 shares of Katy common 
stock on the open market at a cost of $2,143,000.  Net proceeds from these 
transactions were used to reduce borrowings on Katy's short-term line of 
credit and for general corporate purposes.    Effective March 31, 1995, 
Katy purchased all of the outstanding shares of common stock of GC Thorsen, 
Inc. (GCT), a leading value-added marketer and distributor of electronic 
and electrical parts and accessories and nonpowered hand tools.  The 
purchase price, including acquisition costs, was approximately $24,000,000, 
of which $19,500,000 was financed through Katy's bank line of credit. The 
acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method.  The excess 
of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired of 
approximately $4,200,000 is being amortized over 20 years.

    Effective June 30, 1995, Katy sold one-half of its interest in Schoen & 
Cie, AG to a German investment company in an irrevocable transaction.  The 
purchaser, Pegasus Beteiligungen AG of Heidelberg, Germany, acquired 90,000 
shares, representing a 37.5% interest in Schoen.  The sale was made on the 
basis of a contingent purchase price, whereby the amount Pegasus will pay 
Katy for the shares is dependent on the amount ultimately realized by 
Pegasus in the future.  Katy continues to hold its remaining 90,000 shares, 
or a 37.5% interest, in Schoen.  As a result of the sale, Katy will no 
longer consolidate the results of Schoen in Katy's financial statements,
and will use the equity method of accounting to report Katy's continuing 
investment in Schoen.  As a result of the sale, Katy recorded a gain in the 
second quarter from the reversal of previously recorded losses of Schoen 
($4,920,000) and deferred tax benefits from the sale ($3,000,000).

    Effective August 10, 1995, Katy purchased all of the assets of Gemtex 
Company Limited and its U.S. affiliate, Gemtex Abrasives, Inc., a 
manufacturer and distributor of coated abrasives.  The purchase price, 
including acquisition costs, was approximately $6,900,000 and was funded 
through internally generated funds.  The acquisition has been accounted for 
under the purchase method.  The purchase price represented net book value.

    The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect
corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental 
agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties ("PRP's") 
at a number of hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("Superfund") and 
equivalent state laws and, as such, may be liable for the cost of cleanup 
and other remedial activities at these sites.  Responsibility for
cleanup and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared
among PRPs based on an allocation formula.  The means of determining 
allocation among PRPs is generally set forth in a written agreement entered
into by the PRPs at a particular site.  An allocation share assigned to a PRP
is often based on the PRP's volumetric contribution of waste to a site.  
The Company is also involved in remedial response and voluntary
environmental clean-up at a number of other sites which are not currently 
the subject of any legal proceedings under Superfund, including certain 
of its current and formerly owned manufacturing facilities.  Based on its 
estimate of allocation of liability among PRPs, the probability that other
PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent, public companies, will fully pay the
costs apportioned to them, currently available information concerning the 
scope of contamination, estimated remediation costs, estimated legal fees
and other factors, the Company has an accrual at September 30, 1995 for 
indicated environmental liabilities in the aggregate amount of approximately
$5,450,000.

    Although management believes that these actions in the aggregate are not
likely to have a material adverse effect on Katy's consolidated financial 
position or results of operations, further costs could be significant and 
will be recorded as a charge to operations when such costs become probable 
and reasonably estimable. 

    Katy also has a number of product liability and workers' compensation claims
pending against it and its subsidiaries.  With respect to the product 
liability and workers' compensation claims, Katy has provided for its share 
of expected losses beyond the applicable insurance coverage, including those
incurred but not reported. Such accruals are developed using currently 
available claim information.  The incurred but not reported component of the
liability was developed using actuarial techniques.

    On January 13, 1995, the Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Rights
Plan in which Common Stock Purchase Rights ("Rights") were distributed as a 
dividend at the rate of one Right for each share of Common Stock held as of
the close of business on January 24, 1995.

    The Rights were designed to guard against (I) coercive and abusive tactics
that might be used in an attempt to gain control of the Company without paying
all stockholders a fair price for their shares, or (ii) the accumulation of
a substantial block of stock without Board approval.  The Rights Plan will 
not prevent takeovers, but was designed to  deter coercive and abusive 
takeover tactics and to encourage anyone attempting to acquire the Company 
to first negotiate with the Board. Furthermore, the Rights also permit the 
Board to have some input with respect to possible future acquisitions of 
Company stock by the Carroll family and certain investment funds managed by 
Mario J. Gabelli.

    As of January 13, 1995 the Carroll family beneficially owned approximately
47% and the Gabelli group beneficially owned approximately 21% of the Company's 

Common Stock.  As of November 10, 1995, the Carroll family beneficially owns
approximately 46% and  the Gabelli group owns approximately 21.8%.

    Such Rights only become exercisable, or transferable apart from the Common
Stock, ten business days after a person or group (an "Acquiring Person") 
acquires beneficial ownership of, or commences a tender or exchange offer 
for, 10% or more of the Company's Common Stock.  Any additional acquisition 
of shares by the Carroll family or the Gabelli group which would increase 
their beneficial ownership in the Company's Common Stock by more than 1% 
above their holdings at January 13, 1995, respectively, will also make the 
Rights exercisable.

    Once exercisable, each Right not owned by an Acquiring Person, or if the
Carroll family or the Gabelli group acquires additional shares, then that 
family or group, allows the Rightholder to acquire one share of the 
Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $35, subject to adjustment.
Thereafter, upon the occurrence of certain events (for example, if the 
Company is the surviving corporation of a merger with an Acquiring Person), 
the Rights entitle holders other than the Acquiring Person to acquire Common
Stock having a value of twice the exercise price of the Right. 
Alternatively, upon the occurrence of certain other events (for example, if 
the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination 
transaction in which the Company is not the surviving corporation), the 
Rights would entitle holders other than the Acquiring Person to acquire 
Common Stock of the Acquiring Person having a value twice the exercise 
price of the Rights. 

    The Rights may be redeemed by the Company at a redemption price of $.01 per
Right at any time until the tenth business day following public announcement 
that a 10% position has been acquired (or an additional 1% if by the Carroll
family or Gabelli group) or ten business days after commencement of a tender
or exchange offer. The Rights will expire on January 24, 2005.  

    By its terms, the Rights Plan reserves for the Board of Directors the right
to amend the Plan and redeem the Rights.  All the terms of the Plan, 
including but not limited to the exercise price of the Rights and the 
ownership percentages leading to a triggering event, may be amended by the 
Board of Directors of the Company at any time prior to the triggering of the
Rights Plan's "flip-over" and "flip-in" provisions.

    At September 30, 1995, Katy had short and long-term indebtedness for money
borrowed of $22,305,000 of which $12,150,000 represented short-term 
borrowings under Katy's domestic bank line of credit.  Total debt was 15.5%
of total debt and equity at September 30, 1995.  Katy has a line of credit
with The Northern Trust Company in the amount of $40,000,000.  The line of 
credit may be used for letters of credit, working capital and/or acquisitions.  

    Management continuously reviews each of its businesses.  As a result of 
these ongoing reviews, management may determine to sell certain companies 
and may augment its remaining businesses with acquisitions.  When sales do 
occur, management anticipates that funds from these sales will be used for 
general corporate purposes or to fund acquisitions.  Acquisitions may also 
be funded through cash balances, available lines of credit and future 
borrowings.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 (Continued)

   The decreased sales of the Industrial Machinery segment is attributable to 
the sale of one-half of Katy's interest in Schoen and its subsidiaries, 
resulting in Schoen being reflected as an unconsolidated subsidiary effective 
June 30, 1995.  This decrease is partially offset by increases of the 
manufacturers of machinery for the food processing industry and for the wood
processing industry. The 1995 operating loss reported for the segment was 
considerably less than the loss reported in 1994, the result of 1994 
adjustments to inventory values at certain locations, primarily foreign 
operations, which did not recur in 1995.  

   The Industrial Components segment reported decreased sales, primarily due 
to the sale in the fourth quarter of 1994 of the business that refitted 
machinery for the oil, gas and petrochemical industries.  Sales increases 
were reported by the manufacturers of specialty metals and gauging and 
control systems.  Operating income increased primarily as the result of the 
sales increases, improved margins in 1995 and 1994 adjustments to inventory 
values of a foreign subsidiary which did not recur in 1995.  

   The Consumer Products segment reported increased sales, primarily due to the
acquisition on March 31, 1995 of GC Thorsen, a marketer of electronic parts 
and hand tools.  Significant sales increases in the refrigeration and cold 
storage business were largely offset by decreases in the filter business.
Operating income decreased due to lower sales at the filter business and 
lower margin levels at the  abrasives businesses, offset by increased 
margins in the refrigeration and cold storage business.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,606,000, 
primarily the result of the acquisition of GC Thorsen and increased sales 
expenses due to higher sales in 1995.

   Income before income taxes increased by $27,822,000 primarily the result 
of the reversal of previously recorded losses of Schoen of $4,920,000 in 
1995, the write-off of assets of $9,288,000 and reserves against inventories
of $6,156,000 in 1994 and the gain of marketable securities of $6,882,000 in
1995.

   The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was 11.5%
compared to 21.2% for 1994.  The lower rate in 1995 is due primarily to the 
deferred tax benefit resulting from the sale of 50% of Katy's investment in
Schoen and the reversal of previously recorded losses of Schoen, which does 
not require a tax provision since no benefit was provided on such losses.  
The low effective rate for the tax credit in 1994 is due primarily to 
foreign losses for which no tax benefit was provided.

</TABLE>
  In the Industrial Machinery segment, the sale of one-half of Katy's interest
effective June 30, 1995 and the subsequent reflection of Schoen and its 
subsidiaries as an unconsolidated subsidiary was the primary factor in the
sales decrease.  The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable
to lower sales and margins at the manufacturer of food packaging equipment.

  The Industrial Components segment reported decreased sales, substantially due
to the sale in the fourth quarter of 1994  of the business that refitted 
machinery for the oil, gas and petrochemical industries.  The manufacturer 
of specialty metals reported increased sales and higher operating income. 
The manufacturer of gauging and control systems experienced higher sales 
while the manufacturer of electrical equipment experienced lower sales for 
the quarter.






Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 (Continued)

  The Consumer Products segment reported increased sales due to the acquisition
of the marketer of electronic parts and hand tools.  Increased sales by the
distributor of electronic parts were offset by lower sales of the filter 
businesses.  Operating income declined due to lower sales and margin levels 
at the filter and abrasives businesses.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1,158,000 during the
quarter, primarily due to reductions in corporate expenses related to legal and
environmental costs.

  Income before income taxes increased by $7,311,000, primarily the result of
the gain on marketable security transactions of $6,882,000.

  The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 1995 was 38.5%
compared to 36.1% for 1994.
