           (1)  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
 consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only
 normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial
 position, results of operations and cash flows of Lufkin Industries, Inc. and
 Subsidiaries (the "Company") for all periods presented.  The consolidated
 balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, was derived from the audited
 consolidated balance sheet included in the Company's 1995 annual report on Form
 10-K.  The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
 fiscal year.

           These statements have been prepared in accordance with the
 requirements for interim financial statements contained in Regulation S-X,
 which do not require all the information and footnotes necessary for a fair
 presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in
 conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Therefore, these
 statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
 statements and related footnotes included in the Company's annual report on
 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

       The Company's sales decrease was due primarily to decreased trailer
volumes brought about by weaker trailer market demands.  Oil field pumping unit
sales decreased 4% for the third quarter of 1996 as compared to the same period
of 1995 due to decreased pumping unit volumes.  However, oil field sales for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 showed an increase of 8% compared to the
same period of 1995.  The increase in oil field pumping unit sales for first
nine months of 1996 reflects increased activity in the Canadian market and the
shipment of goods into Argentina. Power transmission sales showed increases of
19% and 32%, respectively, for the third quarter and for the first nine months
of 1996 as compared to the same periods of 1995. Power transmission volume
increases were due primarily to increased market demands and to the increased
capacity brought about by the Company's capital expansion efforts.

       The Company experienced improved gross profits and gross margins for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same
periods ending September 30, 1995.  Both improvements reflect the favorable mix
effect of increased shipments of oil field and power transmission products which
produce higher margins than those of trailer products.  Also contributing to
these improvements were benefits generated by the Company's continued emphasis
of cost reduction.  During these same periods, the Company's trailer division
continued to produce profitable results while experiencing a significant
reduction in volumes.

       Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (S. G. & A.) increased
$447,000 or 3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, from $16,450,000
for the same period in 1995.  This increase primarily reflects the impact of
increased selling, engineering, and administrative expenditures for the
Company's power transmission products to expand its worldwide capabilities and
presence in new markets with new product offerings.

       For the third quarter of 1996, operating income was $3.2 million compared
with $2.7 million in the third quarter a year ago. Operating income for the
third quarter compared with the third quarter a year ago was up for the
machinery division and down for the trailer division. However, operating income
for trailers showed an increase from the second quarter this year. The decline
in operating income in the third quarter of 1996 compared to the second quarter
of 1996 for the machinery division was significantly impacted by lost production
and related maintenance costs from temporary shutdowns in the foundry.
<PAGE>
 
       Other income for the first nine months of 1996 was $1,624,000.  This
represents a decrease of $838,000 or 34% in other income over the same period in
1995 resulting from lower earnings on temporary investments.

       The provision for income taxes increased $1,093,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.  The increase
in the provision resulted from the increase in pretax income.

       The Company reported net earnings in the first nine months of 1996 of
$7,869,000 compared to $6,164,000 in the first nine months of 1995.  The
increase in net earnings resulted primarily from the increased volume of oil
field pumping unit and power transmission product sales and the Company's
continued effort to reduce expenses.

       Backlog at September 30, 1996, decreased by approximately $23,464,000 or
23% below the prior year end backlog. The primary reason for the decline was the
downturn in orders for trailer products and the completion and shipment of
orders into Argentina.  However, trailer backlogs have increased by
approximately $5,900,000 from June 30, 1996 due to the increase in trailer
orders.

       Backlog by product group at December 31, 1995 and September 30, 1996 is
as follows:
