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

   Basic  earnings per share is computed by dividing net income  by
the  weighted average number of common shares outstanding  for  the
period.   Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing  net
income  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  common  and,   when
applicable, potential common shares outstanding during the  period.
A  reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of  basic  and
diluted earnings per share is presented below:

                        GRAHAM CORPORATION
         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                        September 30, 1999



Results of Operations
- ---------------------
    Sales  increased 2% in the second quarter of fiscal  year  2000
compared to 1999.  Sales for the second quarter increased 3% in the
United  States and increased 2% in the United Kingdom  compared  to
1999.  Sales for the six months ended September 30, 1999 were  down
23%   and  10%  in  the  United  States  and  the  United  Kingdom,
respectively, compared to sales for the same period last year.  The
decline in sales for the six month period in both the United States
and the United Kingdom is attributable to the ongoing recession  in
the  Company's export markets, as well as, delayed capital spending
in certain market segments due to merger activity.

    Cost of sales as a percent of sales for the second quarter 2000
has remained constant at 72% compared to a year ago.  Cost of sales
as  a  percent of sales was 73% in the United States for both three
month  periods  ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.  In  the  United
Kingdom,  cost of sales as a percent of sales for the  quarter  was
81%  compared to 70% last year.  For the six months, cost of  sales
as  a  percent of sales was 71% for both the current year and prior
year  periods.  For the six month period in the United States,  the
cost  of  sales percentage remained unchanged at 72% while  in  the
United Kingdom it was 78% compared to 70% for the same period  last
year.   The  United Kingdom percentages are reflective of increased
material costs due primarily to product mix.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 22% from
the second quarter of 1999.  For the six months ended September 30,
1999,  selling, general and administrative expenses are  also  down
22%  as  compared  to the same period in fiscal year  1999.   These
decreases  are  primarily attributable to  the  downsizing  of  the
workforce in the United States and reduced selling expenses due  to
stringent  cost controls and lower sales levels.  Selling,  general
and  administrative expenses as a percent of sales remained  stable
at 23% for both the current and prior year six month periods.

    Interest  expense  increased 25% for  the  second  quarter  and
decreased  9%  for  the six month period as compared  to  the  same
periods in fiscal year 1999.  The increase in the second quarter is
due  to additional short term borrowings in the United States while
the  decline  for the six month period is reflective of  long  term
debt paydowns in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

    The  effective income tax rates for the second quarter and  six
month  period  in fiscal year 2000 were 36% and 37%,  respectively,
which  are relatively consistent with the 1999 effective tax  rates
of 39% and 34% for the same periods.





<PAGE>11
Financial Condition
- -------------------
    The financial condition of the Company has remained stable  and
strong during fiscal year 2000.  Working capital of $12,425,000  at
September 30, 1999 compares to $11,989,000 at March 31, 1999.  This
working  capital increase reflects a decrease in current assets  of
$362,000  and  a decrease in current liabilities of $798,000.   The
decrease  in  current  assets related primarily  to  a  significant
decline  in  inventory as several large projects were completed  at
September  30,  as well as, slight decreases in cash  and  accounts
receivable.  These decreases were offset by a prepaid pension asset
due  to  the  funding  of  the United Kingdom  pension  plan.   The
decrease  in  current liabilities reflects the decline in  accounts
payable which is attributable to timing of purchases and a decrease
in   accrued  compensation  and  accrued  expenses  as  significant
payments  were made in the first half of fiscal year  2000.   These
decreases  were  offset  by additional short-term  borrowing.   The
current  ratio at September 30, 1999 is 2.55 compared  to  2.36  at
March 31, 1999.

    Net cash used from operating activities for the six months  was
$1,764,000.    Net   income,   adjusted   for   depreciation    and
amortization, provided for $1,200,000 of operating cash.  This  was
offset  by  payments of certain benefits accrued in the prior  year
and  the funding of the United Kingdom pension plan.  Net cash used
in  investing activities for the first half of the year of $253,000
was  utilized for capital expenditures which were $256,000 compared
to  $399,000  for the same period last year.  There were  no  major
commitments  for  capital expenditures as of  September  30,  1999.
Additional  capital  expenditures  of  approximately  $300,000  are
anticipated  for  the  remainder of  the  fiscal  year.   Net  cash
provided  from  financing activities of $1,909,000 was  due  to  an
increase in short-term debt used to finance working capital needs.

    Management expects that the cash flow from operations and lines
of credit will provide sufficient resources to fund the fiscal year
2000 cash requirements.

    Total  long-term  debt  decreased  $251,000  due  to  scheduled
paydowns  on bank debt and capital leases.  The long-term  debt  to
equity  ratio is 4% at September 30, 1999 compared to 6%  at  March
31,  1999 and the total liabilities to assets ratio is 43% compared
to 51% for the same respective periods.

    Shareholders' Equity increased $2,029,000 from March 31,  1999.
This  increase is primarily attributable to net income of  $690,000
and  other comprehensive income of $1,249,000.  Ninety-five percent
of  the  other comprehensive income was attributable to  a  minimum
pension liability adjustment.

New Orders and Backlog
- ----------------------
    New orders for the second quarter were $10,174,000 compared  to
$10,139,000  for the same period last year.  Prior to  intercompany
eliminations,  new  orders  in the United  States  were  $9,334,000
compared to $8,791,000 for the same period in 1999.  New orders  in
the  United Kingdom were $1,149,000 compared to $1,592,000 for  the
same quarter last year.

<PAGE>12
New Orders and Backlog (concluded)
- ----------------------------------
    For  the  first  half  of  the  fiscal  year  new  orders  were
$17,502,000  compared to $21,301,000 for the comparable  six  month
period  of  1999.  Prior to eliminations, new orders in the  United
States  were  $15,872,000  for the six  month  period  compared  to
$18,670,000  for the same period last year and new  orders  in  the
United Kingdom were $2,253,000 compared to $3,173,000 in 1999.  The
current  level of new order activity is reflective of the  economic
downturn in the Company's export markets.  Management is optimistic
that  the Asian economies will rebound in the near future and  that
the refinery industry will need to upgrade facilities resulting  in
new orders in this market.

    Backlog of unfilled orders at September 30, 1999 is $12,240,000
compared to $22,965,000 at this time a year ago and $15,438,000  at
March   31,  1999.   Current  backlog  in  the  United  States   of
$11,620,000  compares  to  $14,624,000  at  March  31,   1999   and
$21,532,000 at September 30, 1998.  Current backlog in  the  United
Kingdom  of $857,000 compares to $1,127,000 at March 31,  1999  and
$1,575,000 at September 30, 1998.  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.


Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
- ----------------------------------------------------------
   The  Company  is  exposed to changes in interest rates,  foreign
currency  exchange  rates  and equity prices  which  may  adversely
impact  its  results  of  operations and financial  position.   The
Company  is  exposed  to interest rate risk primarily  through  its
borrowing  activities and short-term investments.  Risk  associated
with  interest  rate  fluctuations on debt is  managed  by  holding
interest  bearing  debt to the absolute minimum and  assessing  the
risks  and  benefits  for  incurring  long-term  debt.  Based  upon
variable  rate debt outstanding at September 30, 1999, a 1%  change
in  interest  rates  would impact annual interest  expense  by  one
thousand dollars.  To manage interest rate risk in regards to short-
term  investments,  the  Company invests primarily  in  fixed  rate
instruments and holds investments to maturity.

   Historically,   Graham's   international   consolidated    sales
exposure approximates fifty percent of annual sales.  Operating  in
world  markets involves exposure to movements in currency  exchange
rates.   Currency  movements  can affect  sales  in  several  ways.
Foremost,  the ability to competitively compete for orders  against
competition having a relatively weaker currency.  Business lost due
to  this cannot be quantified.  Secondly, redemption value of sales
can  be  adversely impacted.  The substantial portion  of  Graham's
sales  are  collected  in U.S. dollars.  The  Company  enters  into
forward  foreign exchange agreements to hedge its exposure  against
unfavorable changes in foreign currency values on significant sales
contracts   negotiated   in   foreign  currencies.    Graham   uses
derivatives for no other reason.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk (concluded)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   The  loss  from foreign operations reduced both Graham's  second
quarter  and year-to-date net income by 25%.  As currency  exchange
rates  change, translations of the income statements  of  our  U.K.
business into U.S. dollars affects year-over-year comparability  of
operating  results.  The Company does not hedge  translation  risks
because  cash  flows from U.K. operations are mostly reinvested  in
the  U.K.   A  10%  change in foreign exchange rates  would  impact
second quarter and year-to-date net income by approximately $20,000
and $25,000, respectively.

   The  Company  has a Long-Term Incentive Plan which provides  for
awards of share equivalent units (SEU) for outside directors  based
upon the Company's performance.  The outstanding SEU's are recorded
at  fair market value thereby exposing the Company to equity  price
risk.  Gains and losses recognized due to market price changes  are
included  in the quarterly results of operations.  Based  upon  the
SEU's  outstanding at September 30, 1999 and 1998 and  the  quarter
end  market price per share ($6.31 and $11.25 at September 30, 1999
and  1998, respectively), a twenty to forty percent change  in  the
respective  quarter end market price of the Company's common  stock
would  positively or negatively impact the Company's second quarter
operating  results by $24,000 to $47,000 for 2000  and  $24,000  to
$48,000  for 1999.  In the second quarter of 2000, the income,  net
of  tax,  recorded due to the decrease in the stock price  was  not
significant.  Assuming the net income target of $500,000 is met and
SEU's are granted to the five outside directors in accordance  with
the  plan  over  the next five years, based upon the September  30,
1999  market  price of the Company's stock of $6.31  per  share,  a
twenty  to forty percent change in the stock price would positively
or  negatively impact the Company's operating results by $34,000 to
$67,000  in 2001, $36,000 to $71,000 in 2002 and $38,000 to $75,000
in 2003, 2004 and 2005.


Year 2000 Readiness
- -------------------
   The  Company  has  completed its year  2000  readiness  program.
This  program included the following phases:  identifying  affected
software,   hardware,   and  manufacturing  and   telecommunication
equipment and assessing the impact of the year 2000 issue; hardware
and   software  remediation;  testing;  surveying  the  year   2000
readiness  of customers and suppliers; and developing a contingency
plan.   The  cost of the program was insignificant.   Although  the
Company  believes its internal operations are year 2000  compliant,
it   cannot   assure  anyone  that  its  customers,  suppliers   or
governmental agencies will be ready.

Accounting Standard Changes
- ---------------------------
   In  June  1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board  issued
Statement  of  Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,  "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  This statement
establishes  accounting  and  reporting  standards  for  derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments  embedded  in
other  contracts, and derivatives utilized for hedging  activities.
It  requires  that  an entity recognize all derivatives  as  either
assets  or  liabilities in the statement of financial position  and
measure  those  instruments  at  fair  value.   This  statement  is
effective  for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning  after
June  15, 2000.  Management is evaluating the impact this statement
may have on the Company's financial statements.


Other Matters
- -------------
   In  the  third quarter of fiscal year 2000, management commenced
the  process to terminate the defined benefit pension plan  in  the
United Kingdom.  When the effect of the likely plan termination  is
determinable, it will be recognized in earnings.  It is anticipated
that  a  significant one-time charge to earnings will be recognized
in  the quarter ending December 31, 1999.  Employees will be  given
an opportunity to participate in a defined contribution plan.
