                         GLEASON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  SEPTEMBER 30, 1994
                                     (Unaudited)


          1.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
              consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
              necessary to present fairly (a) the results of operations for
              the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1994 and
              1993,  (b) the financial position at September 30, 1994 and
              December 31, 1993, and (c) the cash flows for the nine month
              periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, of Gleason
              Corporation and subsidiaries.

          2.  The results of operations for the three and nine month
              periods ended September 30, 1994 are not necessarily
              indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

          3.  All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in
              consolidation.

          4.  Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's
              financial statements to conform to the 1994 presentation.  

          5.  The components of inventories were as follows:

              (In thousands)                 9/30/94      12/31/93

              Raw materials and 
                purchased parts              $ 2,280      $ 1,519
              Work in process                 13,913        7,360
              Finished goods                   7,386        4,020
                                             $23,579      $12,899


          6.  The Company's former Alliance Metal Stamping and Fabricating
              division was classified as Discontinued Operations in the
              accompanying financial statements.  The Company ceased
              operations at this division and sold the machinery and
              equipment located at that division's facility during the
              third quarter of this year.  

              In the second quarter of this year the Company reported a
              gain (net of applicable income taxes of $400,000) from
              discontinued operations of $1,440,000, or $.28 per share, as
              the loss from the disposition of this division was lower than
              the amount previously estimated.  


                                     (continued)

          6.  (continued)

              The net assets of discontinued operations have been
              segregated in the September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993
              Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:


              (In thousands)                 9/30/94      12/31/93

              Net current assets:
                 Current assets              $    --      $ 1,957
                 Current liabilities              --         (516)
                                             $    --      $ 1,441

              Net property, plant and
                equipment                    $ 1,567      $ 3,527

              The land and building of the former Alliance Metal Stamping
              and Fabricating division remains classified as net assets of
              discontinued operations as the Company is continuing to seek
              a buyer for this real estate.

          7.  Net cash refunds for income taxes were $1,398,000 and $35,000
              for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993,
              respectively.  Interest payments were $370,000 and $314,000
              for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993,
              respectively.

          Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis
                      of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

          The following are management's comments relating to significant
          changes in the results of operations for the three and nine month
          periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 and in the Company's
          financial condition during the nine months ended September 30,
          1994.

          Results of Operations

          Income from continuing operations for the third quarter ended
          September 30, 1994 was $1,032,000, or $.20 per share, compared to
          a loss of $999,000, or $.19 per share, for the 1993 third
          quarter.  

          For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the Company had
          income from continuing operations of $1,700,000, or $.33 per
          share, compared to a loss of $1,518,000, or $.29 per share, in
          the 1993 nine month period.

          Order levels through nine months were $110 million, a 68 percent
          increase over 1993 levels.  Order levels for all product lines
          showed improvement, with machine orders increasing 109 percent. 
          The increase in total orders is primarily due to the favorable
          market acceptance of the Company's recent machine introductions
          and the continued strength of the U.S. economic recovery. 
          Approximately 55 percent of year-to-date orders for machines were
          from U.S. customers.  Backlog as of September 30, 1994 increased
          to $58.6 million from $26.2 million at December 31, 1993. 
          Backlog at September 30, 1993 was $25.8 million.    

          Net sales for the quarter were $26,392,000, or 20 percent higher
          compared to the 1993 quarter.  For the nine months, sales were
          $77,699,000, or 4 percent higher than last year.  Sales to the
          U.S. market accounted for approximately 50 percent of the 1994
          nine month total.  Historically, sales to the U.S. have only been
          about one-third of total sales, with sales to Europe and Asia
          accounting for the remainder.  

          Sales increased for the quarter due to higher tooling sales and
          increased shipments of parallel axis gear machinery.  Higher
          vehicle production activity in both the U.S. and Europe
          contributed to a 23 percent increase in tooling sales for the
          quarter compared to the prior year.  Parallel axis gear machine
          shipments were higher for the quarter as a result of the 
          introduction of the Company's new parallel axis gear grinding
          machine in the second quarter of this year and the continued
          success of the Phoenix (Registered Trademark) 125GH gear hobbing
          machine, for which shipments began in the second quarter of 1993.

                                     (continued)

                                        Page 8

          For the nine month period, higher sales of tooling, spare parts
          and service produced the year over year sales increase.  Machine
          sales decreased 3 percent through nine months due to lower
          shipments of bevel gear machines.  This decline was the result of
          lower shipments of mechanical older-style bevel gear equipment,
          partially offset by higher sales of the Phoenix line of bevel
          machines.  Parallel axis gear machine shipments through nine
          months increased 46 percent compared to last year and have
          accounted for 34 percent of total machine shipments to date in
          1994.  Parallel axis gear machine sales will reach a record high
          for the Company in 1994.  About 80 percent of all new machine
          sales in 1994 will be products introduced in the last four years.
            
          Cost of products sold as a percentage of sales for the three and
          nine month periods ended September 30, 1994 were 68.6 percent and
          72.2 percent versus 74.5 percent and 74.0 percent for the 1993
          periods.  The lower cost of sales percentage is primarily due to
          a greater percentage of tooling products in the sales mix and
          improved margins on those products.  Tooling margins have
          increased for both the three and nine month periods compared to
          last year due to efficiencies from higher production volumes and
          cost reduction activities.  Margins on machines have also
          improved compared to last year due to higher production volumes
          through the Company's new manufacturing facility and lower
          manufacturing overhead spending.  Overall margins are expected to
          be lower in the fourth quarter than the year-to-date percentage
          because of the much higher proportion of machines that will be in
          the sales mix for the quarter.  

          Selling, general and administrative (S,G&A) expenses were
          $5,854,000, or 22.2 percent of sales, and $16,386,000, or 21.1
          percent of sales, for the three and nine month periods ended
          September 30, 1994.  The comparable 1993 periods were $5,900,000,
          or 26.9 percent of sales, and $18,575,000, or 24.9 percent of
          sales, respectively.  These expenses decreased compared to the
          1993 periods as a result of cost reduction initiatives including
          staffing reductions which occurred in 1993.  Commission expense
          was lower as a percentage of sales due to fewer shipments into
          regions where dealers are paid.  In addition, there are fewer
          territories where dealer commissions are now being paid.  Over
          the past year, the Company has transitioned from machine dealers
          to direct sales representatives in Spain, Sweden and France. 
          S,G&A expenses were higher in the third quarter compared to the
          prior two quarters due to higher spending on marketing promotion
          primarily related to the Company's participation in the IMTS
          trade show.  

          Research and development expenses were $1,053,000 and $3,342,000
          for the three and nine month periods compared to $983,000 and
          $3,939,000 for the comparable 1993 periods.  Spending was higher
          in the nine month period of last year due to greater prototype
          development costs on several new machines introduced last year. 
          During the third quarter of this year, the Company introduced its 
          
                                     (continued)

          most recent addition to the Phoenix line of machines, the 500HL
          bevel gear lapping machine, at the IMTS show.  Shipments of this
          machine are expected to begin in the fourth quarter.     

          The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30,
          1994 was 30 percent compared to 33 percent in the 1993 comparable
          period.  Domestic losses for continuing operations received tax
          benefits of $.6 million and $1.6 million in 1994 and 1993,
          respectively.  Management believes that it is more likely than
          not that future income will be sufficient to fully realize the
          benefits recorded.    

          Sales and operating profits are expected to be significantly
          higher in the fourth quarter compared to the prior three quarters
          of 1994.  Income from continuing operations for the full year
          should be at least $.75 per share.  

          Liquidity and Capital Resources

          Cash and equivalents increased $2,441,000 in the nine months of
          1994 to $6,596,000 at September 30, 1994.  Borrowings under the
          Company's revolving credit agreements decreased to $2,744,000 at
          September 30, 1994 from $14,122,000 at December 31, 1993.  Unused
          short and long-term credit lines with banks, including the
          revolving credit facilities, totaled approximately $27.2 million
          at September 30, 1994.  Dividend payments to stockholders totaled
          $1,549,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1994.

          Net cash provided by operating activities was $8,555,000 year-to-
          date compared to net cash used in operations of $1,353,000 in the
          nine month period of 1993.  The improvement was attributable to
          higher operating income, cash flow from discontinued operations,
          higher income tax refunds and lower payments for severance
          programs previously accrued.  Payments associated with severance
          programs totaled $.9 million in the 1994 nine month period
          compared to $5.8 million in the comparable 1993 period.  The
          higher cash flow from discontinued operations for 1994 was due to
          the liquidation of inventories and collection of accounts
          receivable of the Alliance Metal Stamping and Fabricating
          division.   

          Operating cash flow for 1994 was negatively impacted by higher
          working capital levels.  The net increase in inventory for the
          nine month period of 1994 relates to the higher expected shipment
          levels in the fourth quarter.  Higher accounts payable and
          advance payments from customers partially offset the higher
          working capital requirements.  

          Investing activities provided $5,252,000 of cash in the 1994 nine
          month period compared to $5,024,000 of net cash used in the
          comparable prior year period.  Proceeds from asset disposals
          included $3,550,000 from the sale of machinery and equipment of
          discontinued operations.  Proceeds from collections of notes

                                     (continued)

          receivable associated with the sales of former businesses totaled
          $3,236,000 ($320,000 in 1993).  Capital expenditures totaled
          $1,683,000 in the nine months of 1994 compared to $5,388,000 in
          1993.  The Company expects capital spending in the 1994 fourth
          quarter will be higher than in prior three quarters, but for the
          full year will be lower than the 1993 spending level.

          The Company's cash balances, presently available lines of credit
          and anticipated funds from operations should be sufficient to
          meet its near-term operating and investing activities. 
          Management believes it will be able to obtain additional long-
          term financing if such financing is required.
