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 six-month periods ended
June 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
Sales were below prior year levels primarily because of reduced U.S.
government military and environmental spending. While the company is the
largest supplier of gas masks to the U.S. military, shipments of these products
are at the lowest level in 15 years. This reflects spending cutbacks and
delays in placing new contracts stemming from the federal budget impasse.
Sales and rentals of products for environmental remediation also continued
below prior year levels with a continuing lack of federal "superfund"
authorization. Worldwide commercial sales of safety and instrument products
have generally kept pace with prior year levels, while sales of specialty
chemicals have continued to grow.
Lower sales have contributed to the decline in net income. In addition,
the gross margins on U.S. military contracts have been reduced significantly by
increasingly competitive bidding pressures in a shrinking market.
Manufacturing operations in the U.S. for commercial products have also had an
adverse cost impact.
This time last year the company and its commercial distributors were
building inventories with an optimistic market outlook. In the first half of
this year, however, inventories are being reduced, reflecting a more cautious
economic outlook and a general desire to operate with lower stocks.
Additionally, the company continues to move more toward "assemble-to-order"
production. In particular, U.S. safety products production levels have run
well below last year.
The company also has become more conservative in reflecting in the first
and second quarters anticipated costs related to factory vacation shutdowns
later in the year. Somewhat offsetting these items are higher profits from
increased chemical sales and lower selling and administrative costs. During
the second quarter, the company completed the sale of its corporate aircraft
and hangar, and its thermal battery business in Britain, while implementing
selective employment reductions. The net effect of these actions was not
material to the results of the quarter but will result in lower costs in the
future.
Profits from international operations were also somewhat below prior year
levels. Profitability of the company's European operations has remained low in
a stagnant economic environment. Financial results in the company's Latin
American operations are below last year, which benefitted from an
extraordinarily robust economic period in Brazil. In addition, a newly formed
affiliate in Argentina is incurring meaningful start-up costs.
The decline in financial results during the first half of 1996 compared to
1995 was in line with expectations due to factors previously described.
Incoming orders in the company's commercial businesses showed some meaningful
improvement in the first half of 1996 over 1995 in the U.S. and international
markets. Furthermore, incoming orders were above invoicing in the first half
and exceeded the company's seasonal forecasts.
Orders already on the books for second-half shipment gives the company the
potential of generating higher profits for the full year despite the earnings
lag in the first half. If this is accomplished, earnings per share would
improve significantly. As always, company results depend on the economic
environment, customer buying patterns and the level of incoming orders in the
months to come.
Comparative foreign currency exchange losses charged to income are as

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 June 30, 1996 were 3.0 and 6.5%, respectively,
as compared to 3.2 and 6.4% at December 31, 1995.
During second quarter 1996, the Mine Safety Appliances Company Stock
Compensation Trust purchased 600,000 shares of the company's common treasury
shares. Such shares will be used to fund employee stock options and awards.
Until such time as these shares are committed by the Trust, they are not
considered outstanding shares as reported herein nor in calculating earnings per
common share.
