                         GLEASON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    MARCH 31, 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 month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993,  (b)
              the financial position at March 31, 1994 and December 31,
              1993, and  (c) the cash flows for the three month periods
              ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, of Gleason Corporation and
              subsidiaries.

          2.  The results of operations for the three month period ended
              March 31, 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:

            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 month periods
          ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 and in the Company's financial
          condition during the three months ended March 31, 1994.  

          Results of Operations

          The Company had net income for the first quarter ended March 31,
          1994 of $65,000, or $.01 per share, compared to a net loss of
          $641,000, or $.12 per share, for the 1993 first quarter.  
           
          Net sales were $23,699,000 for the quarter compared to
          $24,784,000 in the 1993 first quarter.  Machine sales decreased
          slightly primarily due to lower shipments of remanufactured
          equipment.  Sales of remanufactured machines are expected to be
          lower for the year due to the success of new machine products
          recently introduced.  The new machines are part of the Company's
          Phoenix (Registered Trademark) line of equipment.  The Phoenix
          line, which includes bevel and parallel axis gear production
          machines, accounted for approximately 80 percent of total 1994
          first quarter machine sales.  This compares to approximately
          49 percent of machine sales in the first quarter of 1993.
          The Company expects total machine sales in 1994 will exceed
          those in the prior year based upon the success of its
          new products and current growth in the U.S. automotive
          market. The growth in machine sales is expected to occur
          in the second half of the year based upon customers'
          current capital spending plans.  

          Tooling sales for the quarter were also lower than in the 1993
          first quarter due to decreased shipments of bevel cutting tools. 
          Sales of bevel cutting tools, while below 1993 first quarter
          levels, exceeded quarterly shipment levels during the second half
          of 1993.  

          Backlog at March 31, 1994 increased to $29.8 million from $26.2
          million at December 31, 1993.  Backlog at March 31, 1993 was
          $39.6 million.  Order levels continued to be affected by slow
          economic growth in key overseas markets, primarily Japan and
          Western Europe.  

          Cost of products sold as a percentage of sales were 75.1 percent
          and 71.8 percent for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and
          1993, respectively.  The cost of sales percentage for the quarter
          was higher than the 1993 first quarter, but was lower than the
          76.7 percent of sales for the 1993 full year.  The higher cost of
          sales percentage compared to the 1993 first quarter was primarily


                                     (continued)

          due to lower average selling prices for certain machine products
          due to increased pricing pressure from foreign competitors.  

          Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,961,000, or
          20.9 percent of sales, and $6,044,000, or 24.4 percent of sales,
          for the quarters ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 
          These expenses decreased compared to 1993 primarily due to lower
          overhead spending as a result of cost reduction initiatives,
          including staff reductions which occurred in 1993.  

          Research and development expenses were $1,072,000 for the quarter
          compared to $1,635,000 for the 1993 quarter.  Spending was higher
          in the prior year due to prototype development costs on several
          new products introduced last year.  

          Other income was higher for the quarter due to lower foreign
          exchange losses and higher commission income.  

          The Company recognized deferred tax benefits on its first quarter
          domestic operating losses.  Management believes that it is more
          likely than not that future income will be sufficient to fully
          realize these benefits.  The Company had a net domestic deferred
          tax asset of approximately $2.7 million at March 31, 1994.  


          Liquidity and Capital Resources

          Cash and equivalents increased $1,353,000 in the first quarter to
          $5,508,000 at March 31, 1994.  Borrowings under the Company's
          revolving credit agreements decreased to $6,377,000 at March 31,
          1994 from $14,122,000 at December 31, 1993.  Unused short and
          long-term credit lines with banks, including revolving credit
          facilities, totaled $23.7 million at March 31, 1994.  Dividend
          payments to stockholders were $516,000 in the first quarter of
          1994.  

          Net cash provided by operating activities was $7,937,000 compared
          to net cash used in operating activities of $574,000 in the 1993
          first quarter.  The improvement was primarily attributable to
          higher operating income, higher income tax refunds, larger net
          reductions in working capital and lower payments for severance
          programs.  Payments associated with severance programs totaled
          $.5 million in the first quarter of 1994 compared to $3.3 million
          in the 1993 period.  

          Investing activities provided net cash of $824,000 in the 1994
          first quarter compared to $3,177,000 of net cash used in the
          comparable prior year period.  Proceeds from collections of notes

          receivable associated with the sale of discontinued operations
          totaled $1,156,000 ($154,000 in 1993).  Capital expenditures
          totaled $401,000 in first quarter of 1994 compared to $3,345,000
          in 1993.  The Company expects full year capital spending levels
          will be similar to those in 1993.  

          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.
