NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted number of common shares and, when applicable, common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period.


- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 3 - CASH FLOW STATEMENT
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Actual interest paid was $79,000 and $113,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  In addition,
actual income taxes paid were $76,000 and $190,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.


- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 4 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

     In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earning Per
Share," which is effective for financial statements for both
interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997.  This
new standard requires dual presentation of basic and diluted
earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the earnings statement and
requires a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of
basic and diluted EPS calculations.  The Company's current EPS
calculation conforms to basic EPS.  Diluted EPS will not be
materially different from basic EPS since potential common shares
in the form of stock options are not materially dilutive.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                        June 30, 1997


Results of Operations
- ---------------------
     Sales decreased 10% in the first quarter of fiscal year 1998
compared to the same period (April, May, June) in 1996.  Sales for
the first quarter decreased 12% in the United States and increased
16% in the United Kingdom compared to 1996.  The decrease in the
United States sales is due to the change in the fiscal year
effective April 1, 1997.  From an operational perspective, all
Graham first quarters are similar in the sense that we go into each
of them with very few, if any, jobs that are anywhere near
completion.  Each accounting year, an all-out effort is made to
complete and take revenue recognition for as much work-in-process
inventory as possible.  We recognize sales under the completed
contract method, and Graham's product manufacturing time from
engineering to shipment on major jobs exceeds ninety days.  So,
typically any Graham first quarter is less robust than any other
quarter of the year.  Sales in the second quarter are expected to
exceed the sales levels attained in the first quarter.  The
increase in the United Kingdom sales is attributable to increased
sales volume of certain standard products and spare parts.

     Cost of sales as a percent of sales for the first quarter of
fiscal year 1998 was 69% compared to 71% a year ago.  Cost of sales
as a percent of sales for the three month period was 69% for the
United States operations compared to 72% last year and 69% for the
United Kingdom operations compared to 70% last year.  The favorable
percentage for the United States reflects direct material cost
savings while the decrease in the United Kingdom is attributable to
a reduction of overhead expenses.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 were comparable to selling, general and
administrative expenses for the same period in 1996 and represented
24% of sales as compared to 22% in 1996.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses remained flat despite increases in salaries
and employee levels due to management's concerted effort to contain
overhead costs.

     Interest expense for the first quarter is down 30% from the
same period in 1996.  The decrease resulted primarily from a
decline in interest rates and lower levels of borrowing on the
United States revolving credit facility due to strong cash flow.

     The effective income tax rate for the first quarter was 35%
compared to 40% for the comparable three months of 1996.


Financial Condition
- -------------------
     There were no significant changes in the financial condition of
the company for the first quarter of fiscal year 1998.  Working
capital of $9,562,000 at June 30, 1997 compares to $10,272,000 at
March 31, 1997.  The working capital decrease reflects a decrease
in current assets of $2,196,000 and a decrease in current
<PAGE>10
liabilities of $1,486,000.  The decrease in current assets related
primarily to a significant decrease in cash due to paydown of debt
and a decrease in accounts receivable due to a decline in sales in
the first quarter as compared to the first three months of 1997. 
The decrease in current liabilities reflects primarily a reduction
in accounts payable which is attributable to timing of purchases.

     Capital expenditures for the three month period were $179,000
compared to $127,000 for the same period in 1996.  There were no
major commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 1997. 
Management anticipates spending approximately $1,000,000 in fiscal
year 1998 for capital additions to upgrade computer equipment and
machinery.

     Total long-term debt decreased $1,582,000 from March 31, 1997
due to paydowns on the United States revolving credit line which is
classified as long-term in accordance with the terms of the loan
agreement.  The long-term debt to equity ratio is 13% compared to
26% at March 31, 1997 and the total liabilities to assets ratio is
54% compared to 60% at March 31, 1997.  These ratios are reflective
of management's continual effort to reduce debt.

     Management expects that the cash flow from operations and lines
of credit will provide sufficient resources to fund the fiscal year
1998 cash requirements.

New Orders and Backlog
- ----------------------
     New orders for the second quarter were $20,788,000 compared to
$17,260,000 for the same period last year.  New orders in the
United States were $19,646,000 compared to $15,774,000 for the same
period in 1996.  New orders in the United Kingdom were $1,142,000
compared to $1,486,000 for the same quarter last year.  New orders
in the United States are at an historically high level which is
attributable to three large export orders acquired during the
quarter and orders for the refinery industry.  The decline in new
orders in the United Kingdom is related to the strength of the
Pound Sterling which has caused customers to request significant
price discounts.

     Backlog of unfilled orders at June 30, 1997 is at an historic
high point at $31,076,000.  This compares to $25,455,000 at this
time a year ago and $22,348,000 at March 31, 1997.  Current backlog
in the United States of $29,928,000 compares to $21,011,000 at
March 31, 1997 and $24,191,000 at June 30, 1996.  Current backlog
in the United Kingdom of $1,148,000 compares to $1,337,000 at March
31, 1997 and $1,264,000 at June 30, 1996.  The current backlog is
reflective of the recent order activity.  The current backlog is
scheduled to be shipped during the next twelve months and
represents orders from traditional markets in the company's
established product lines.
