Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
include all adjustments,consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, which
are, in the opinion of management of the registrant, necessary for a fair
statement of the operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995. These financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all
information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations, and changes in cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

MINE SAFETY APPLIANCES COMPANY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Most of the third quarter 1996 sales growth came from Germany, the
company's largest international operation, which achieved stronger local and
export sales during the quarter. Sales in most other international markets
were about the same as the prior year. In Brazil, however, sales were
notably behind 1995, which was a period of extraordinary economic activity
in that country.
Sales of portable instruments in the U.S. were also strong, boosted by
fulfillment of a large special order. Commercial safety product revenues in
the U.S. continued to lag prior year levels. Shipments of gas masks to the
U.S. military were significantly below the prior year, as expected, due to
lower levels of overall government procurement of such products.
Most of the third quarter 1996 profit gains occurred in the U.S. and
stemmed from improved manufacturing cost performance and inventory management
along with reduced selling and administrative expenses. Profits also improved
in Germany due to higher sales. Profits from Brazilian operations have fallen
to more normal levels compared to the robust activity in 1995. The newly
formed affiliate in Argentina has continued to incur very meaningful start-up
costs.
Financial results in the third quarter are a welcome improvement, driven
mostly by improved operating efficiencies and internal initiatives. Product
demand has been inconsistent in a seasonally slow quarter. The backlog of
commercial orders for future shipment is considerably higher than it was at
this time last year. This is an encouraging indication of fourth quarter
potential.
In August, the company acquired Rose Manufacturing Company, a leading
manufacturer in the growing fall protection portion of the safety products
business, and Better Breathing, Inc., a leading innovator of disposable
respiratory protection products. These acquisitions will substantially
strengthen the company's global position in these important market segments.
Currency exchange adjustments charged directly to the equity cumulative
translation adjustments account are shown below. Significant third quarter 1996
gains relate primarily to Germany and Italy. Significant third quarter 1995
losses relate to Germany and Japan; year to date translation gains relate to
Germany and Netherlands.

Available credit facilities along with internal cash resources are
adequate to provide for ensuing capital requirements. The company's financial
position and liquidity continue to be adequate. The current ratio and term
debt in relation to capital as of September 30, 1996 were 2.8 and 6.3%, respec-
tively, as compared to 3.2 and 6.4% at December 31, 1995.
