                         GLEASON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    JUNE 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 six month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, 
              (b) the financial position at June 30, 1994 and December 31,
              1993, and (c) the cash flows for the six month periods ended
              June 30, 1994 and 1993, of Gleason Corporation and
              subsidiaries.

          2.  The results of operations for the three and six month periods
              ended June 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)                 6/30/94      12/31/93

              Raw materials and 
                purchased parts              $ 1,876      $ 1,519
              Work in process                  9,070        7,360
              Finished products                6,311        4,020
                                             $17,257      $12,899


          6.  The Company's Alliance Metal Stamping and Fabricating
              division is classified as Discontinued Operations in the
              accompanying financial statements.  The Company has decided
              to cease operations at this division in the third quarter of
              this year.  In addition, the Company has entered into an
              agreement for the sale of the machinery and equipment located
              at that division's facility.  

              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 is expected to be lower than the amount previously
              estimated.  


                                     (continued)

          6.  (continued)

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


              (In thousands)                 6/30/94      12/31/93

              Net current assets:

              1994 and 1993, respectively.  Interest payments were $269,000
              and $159,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993,
              respectively.

                         GLEASON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

            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 six month
          periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 and in the Company's
          financial condition during the six months ended June 30, 1994.

          Results of Operations

          The Company had income from continuing operations for the second
          quarter ended June 30, 1994 of $603,000, or $.12 per share,
          compared to $122,000, or $.02 per share, for the 1993 second
          quarter.  

          Net income for the 1994 second quarter of $2,043,000, or $.40 per
          share, included an after-tax gain from discontinued operations of
          $1,440,000, or $.28 per share, as the loss from the disposition
          of the Company's Alliance Metal Stamping and Fabricating division
          is expected to be lower than the amount previously accrued.  The
          Company announced during the second quarter that it had decided
          to cease operations at this last remaining unit of the former
          Gleason Components Group division during the third quarter and
          had entered into an agreement to sell the machinery and equipment
          located at this division.  

          For the six months ended June 30, 1994, the Company had income
          from continuing operations of $668,000, or $.13 per share,
          compared to a loss of $519,000, or $.10 per share, in the first
          half of 1993.

          Net sales were $27,608,000 and $51,307,000 for the three and six
          month periods ended June 30, 1994 compared to $28,038,000 and
          $52,822,000 in the comparable prior year periods.  Sales to the
          U.S. market comprised approximately fifty percent of the 1994 six
          month total.  

          Sales decreased slightly for the quarter and six months due to
          lower shipments of bevel gear machines.  This decline was
          primarily a result of lower shipments of mechanical, older-style
          bevel gear equipment.  This was partially offset by higher sales
          of the Phoenix (Registered Trademark) line of bevel machines.
          Parallel axis gear machine shipments exceeded 1993 levels for both
          the quarter and first half.  This increase resulted primarily from
          the introduction of the Company's new parallel axis gear grinding
          machine, shipments of which began in the second quarter of this
          year.  



                                     (continued)

          Tooling sales were approximately 8 percent higher for the 1994
          second quarter compared to the 1993 period.  Sales for the first
          half were slightly higher than in 1993.  Sales of other products,
          including spare parts, were higher for both the quarter and first
          half.  Spare parts sales have increased primarily due to higher
          shipments to domestic vehicle producers.  Their increased
          production levels have created a need to revitalize and repair
          older available capacity.
            
          Order levels were $67.1 million, or 31 percent higher during the
          first half of 1994 compared to 1993.  Order levels for all major
          product lines have increased, with the largest increase
          attributable to bevel gear production machines.  The U.S. market
          accounted for over 50 percent of 1994 bookings through June,
          primarily driven by strong growth in domestic automotive and
          truck producers.  Backlog as of June 30, 1994 increased to $42.0
          million from $26.2 million at December 31, 1993.  Backlog at June
          30, 1993 was $33.5 million.  The Company expects sales for the
          second half of 1994 will be significantly higher than the first
          half primarily due to higher machine shipments.  Sales of all
          major product lines for the year are expected to exceed 1993
          levels.   

          Cost of products sold as a percentage of sales for the three and
          six month periods ended June 30, 1994 were 73.2 percent and 74.1
          percent versus 75.6 percent and 73.8 percent for the 1993
          periods.  A higher proportion of tooling and spare parts sales in
          the total sales mix helped offset a decline in margins on machine
          sales.  Machine margins declined primarily due to a higher
          percentage of parallel axis gear machines in the sales mix. 
          Parallel axis equipment generally carries lower margins than
          bevel equipment, due to greater competititive pricing pressures
          in the parallel axis gear machinery market. 

          Selling general and administrative expenses were $5,571,000, or
          20.2 percent of sales, and $10,532,000, or 20.5 percent of sales,
          for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1994.  The
          comparable 1993 periods were $6,631,000, or 23.7 percent of
          sales, and $12,675,000, or 24.0 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.

          Research and development expenses were $1,217,000 and $2,289,000
          for the three and six month periods compared to $1,321,000 and


                                     (continued)



                                        Page 9

          $2,956,000 for the comparable 1993 periods.  Spending was higher
          in the first half of last year due to greater prototype
          development costs on several new products introduced last year. 
          The Company will be introducing its new Phoenix 500HL bevel gear
          lapping machine at the IMTS machine tool show in September with
          shipments beginning in the fourth quarter of this year.      

          Other income for the 1993 second quarter was higher due to the
          settlement of a legal claim at an amount below the estimated
          liability accrued in prior years.

          The effective tax rate for the 1994 first half was 28 percent
          compared to 54 percent in the 1993 comparable period.  The
          effective rate for 1993 was higher due to lower tax provisions on
          certain foreign income.  Domestic operating losses received
          deferred tax benefits in 1994 and 1993.  Management believes that
          it is more likely than not that future income will be sufficient
          to fully realize the benefits recorded.    


          Liquidity and Capital Resources

          Cash and equivalents increased $2,121,000 in the first half to
          $6,276,000 at June 30, 1994.  Borrowings under the Company's
          revolving credit agreements decreased to $7,747,000 at June 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 $22.3 million at June 30, 1994.
          Dividend payments to stockholders totaled $1,033,000 in the first
          half of 1994.

          Net cash provided by operating activities was $5,379,000 compared
          to $833,000 in the first half of 1993.  The improvement was
          primarily attributable to higher operating income, higher income
          tax refunds, and lower payments for severance programs previously
          accrued.  Payments associated with severance programs totaled $.8
          million in the 1994 first half compared to $4.6 million in the
          comparable 1993 period.  

          Operating cash flow was negatively impacted by higher working
          capital requirements.  The net increase in inventory and accounts
          payable for the first half of 1994 is attributable to higher
          business volumes which will occur in the second half.  Accounts
          receivable increased during the first half primarily due to heavy
          shipments at the end of June.  Accounts receivable had dropped
          during the same period last year primarily due to decreasing
          sales levels.   

          Investing activities provided $2,743,000 of cash in the 1994
          first half compared to $4,134,000 of net cash used in the


                                     (continued)



                                       Page 10

          comparable prior year period.  Proceeds from collections of notes
          receivable associated with the sales of former businesses totaled
          $3,190,000 ($211,000 in 1993).   Proceeds from the sale of assets
          included a $550,000 advance deposit on the sale of machinery and
          equipment of discontinued operations.  Capital expenditures
          totaled $1,117,000 in the first six months of 1994 compared to
          $4,382,000 in the 1993 comparable period.  The Company expects
          capital spending for the full year will be somewhat 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.
