                    LINDBERG CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES


NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1	Condensed Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  It is
suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

Statements for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and March 31,
1999 reflect, in the opinion of the company, all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the results
of these periods.  Results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results for a full year.

NOTE 2   Material Changes

No material changes have occurred with respect to the company's contingent
liabilities outlined in the company's 1999 10-K through the date of this
report.

statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements are those that are not
statements of historical fact, including statements regarding future
revenues, expenses and profits.  These forward-looking statements are
subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties or other factors which
may cause the actual results of the company to be materially different
from the historical results or from any results expressed or implied by
the forward-looking statements.  Such risks and factors include, but are
not limited to, those discussed in Exhibit 99.1 of the company's most
recently filed Form 10-K with the Securities Exchange Commission.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION:

At March 31, 2000, the Company's total debt was $42.4 million, a decrease
of $1.0 million from $43.4 million outstanding at December 31, 1999.  The
Company's total debt to capitalization ratio was 41% at the end of the first
quarter of 2000 as compared to 42% at the end of 1999.  The level of debt
decreased in the first quarter of 2000 as a result of cash generated through
the Company's operations.

The Company maintains a revolving credit facility with a total borrowing
capacity of $70 million.  The maturity date of the agreement relating to the
facility is December 2001.  At March 31, 2000, the Company had $34 million of
available capacity under the revolving credit facility.

Capital expenditures for the first three months of 2000 were $1.8 million, a
decrease from $2.7 million in the corresponding period of 1999.  The spending
in the first quarter of 2000 related primarily to the acquisition of
additional furnaces and equipment for expansion at certain of the Company's
facilities.

On January 28, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $.08
on each share of the Company's common stock, payable on March 1, 2000.  The
total cash dividends paid on the latter date were $453,000.  This compared to
a dividend payout of $.08 per share of common stock, or $471,000, in the
corresponding quarter of 1999.

The Company believes that its borrowing capacity and funds generated through
operations will be sufficient to meet currently foreseen capital investment
and working capital needs in support of existing businesses for the balance of
2000 and in the longer term.

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Quarter ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were $30.2 million, down $1.9
million, or 6%, from $32.1 million for the corresponding period in 1999.  The
decline in net sales resulted primarily from reduced order rates, in
comparison to the year-ago quarter, at Company facilities serving customers in
the commercial aerospace and oil-field machinery markets.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2000 was $8.3 million, down $1.5
million, or 15%, from $9.8 million for the first quarter of 1999.  The gross
profit decline in the first quarter of 2000 was the result of the decrease in
net sales for the period, offset to a degree by cost reductions.  The
Company's gross margin in the first quarter of 2000 was 27.4%, compared to
30.4% in the corresponding period of 1999, reflecting the effect of the
relatively fixed cost structure of the Company's operations and the limited
opportunity to reduce costs to offset sales declines in the short term.

Selling and administrative expenses for the first three months of 2000 were
$4.9 million, down slightly when compared to $5.0 million in the first quarter
of 2000.  Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were
16.3% for the first quarter of 2000, up from 15.6% in the corresponding period
of 1999 as a result of the lower level of sales.

Interest expense net of interest income in the first quarter of 2000 was
$668,000, compared to $530,000 in the first quarter of 1999.  The increase
resulted from both higher average borrowing levels and increased interest
rates in the first quarter of 2000.

During the first quarter of 2000, the Company received a cash dividend of
$118,000 from Thixomat, Inc., a business in which it owns a minority interest.
No such dividend was received in the first quarter of 1999.

Reflecting the above, net earnings in the first quarter of 2000 were $1.7
million, down from $2.5 million for the corresponding period of 1999.  Diluted
earnings per share in the first quarter of 2000 were $.30 as compared to $.42
per share in the first quarter of the 1999.  The weighted average shares and
equivalents outstanding for the first quarter of 2000, compared to the same
quarter of 1999, was lower as a result of the purchase by the Company of
264,000 shares of common stock for the treasury in December 1999.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There has been no material change during the first three months ended March
31, 2000 from the disclosures about market risk provided in the company's
latest annual report on Form 10-K.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  Legal Proceedings

The company is a party to various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary
course of business. Management, after review and consultation with legal
counsel, considers that any liability resulting from these matters would not
materially affect the financial condition or results of operations of the
company.
