    1994, and (c) the cash flows for the three month periods
    ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, of Gleason Corporation and

  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, 1995 and 1994 and in the Company's financial
condition during the three months ended March 31, 1995.

Results of Operations

The Company had net income for the first quarter ended March 31,
1995 of $2,913,000, or $.56 per share, compared to $65,000, or
$.01 per share, for the 1994 first quarter. Higher sales and
improved margins were the primary reasons for the earnings
increase.

Orders received in the quarter totaled $47.8 million, a 75
percent increase over 1994 first quarter levels.  Order levels
for all product lines showed improvement, with the largest
increase occurring in the Company's machine product lines.  The
increase in machine orders is primarily due to the improved
business outlook for most vehicle producers worldwide and the
favorable acceptance of the Company's new machine products.  The
U.S. market continued to be the Company's strongest geographic
sector, accounting for approximately 50 percent of the first
quarter orders for machines.  Backlog as of March 31, 1995
increased to $70.6 million from $54.7 million at December 31,
1994.  Backlog at March 31, 1994 was $29.8 million.

Net sales for the quarter were $31,901,000, or 35 percent higher
compared to the 1994 quarter. Total sales to each of the three
major geographic regions, the Americas, Europe/Africa, and
Asia/Pacific, increased compared to the 1994 first quarter.
Shipments of gear production machines were 38 percent higher,
with increases in both the bevel and parallel axis gear machine
product lines.  Bevel gear machines accounted for approximately
70 percent of total machine sales for the quarter, versus 75 percent
in the 1994 quarter. Tooling sales increased 34 percent compared
to the 1994 first quarter primarily due to higher shipments of bevel
gear cutting tools.  The Company expects that total sales in each of 
the three remaining 1995 quarters should be higher than those of the
first quarter. 

Cost of products sold as a percentage of sales were 67.1 percent
compared to 75.1 percent for the three months ended March 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively. The lower cost of sales percentage
is primarily due to improved gross margins on machine products.
Machine margins benefited from higher production volumes through
the Company's new factory and improved production efficiencies
for many of the Company's newer machine models. Tooling margins
also improved due to the operating leverage created by higher
production volumes.  Margins in the remaining three quarters are
expected to be somewhat lower than the first quarter due to a
higher percentage of machines in the overall sales mix.  Margins
on machines, in general, are lower than for tooling products.

                           (continued)

Selling, general and administrative (S,G&A) expenses were
$5,986,000, or 18.8 percent of sales, and $4,961,000, or 20.9
percent of sales, for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  Spending within the Company's worldwide sales and
service offices increased compared to the 1994 period due to the
establishment of direct sales representation in Europe and higher
business activity levels.  The decrease as a percentage of sales
is attributable to the higher sales volumes. Commissions paid to
outside dealers, as a percentage of sales, were relatively
constant year over year.

Research and development expenses were $1,419,000, or 4.4 percent
of sales, for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 compared to
$1,072,000, or 4.5 percent of sales, for the 1994 quarter.
Development spending is planned to increase by over 10 percent in
1995 compared to 1994 levels with major projects including a
modernization program for the Company's tooling products and
operations and a new CNC gear testing machine.

In the 1995 first quarter, the Company recorded a tax provision
of $408,000 on pre-tax income of $3,321,000, or an effective tax
rate of 12.3 percent, compared to an effective rate of 7.1
percent in the 1994 comparable period.  The 1995 tax provision
consisted primarily of foreign and domestic state taxes.  The
U.S. federal current income tax provision was offset by a
deferred tax benefit resulting in an increase to the domestic
deferred tax asset to approximately $4.1 million at March 31,
1995. Under the provisions of FAS No. 109, the Company has been
limited in the amount of the deferred tax asset it has been able
to record based on future income.  Management has determined that
it is more likely than not future income will be sufficient to
fully realize the deferred asset recorded at March 31, 1995. As
future domestic income is generated, additional deferred tax
benefits can be recognized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents increased $4,120,000 in the first three
months of 1995 to $7,293,000 at March 31, 1995. Unused credit
lines with banks, including revolving credit facilities, totaled
$27.7 million at March 31, 1995.  Dividend payments to
stockholders totaled $646,000 in the three months ended March 31,
1995.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,973,000 in the
1995 first quarter compared to $7,937,000 in the comparable 1994
period.  Operating cash flows were lower in 1995 due to higher
working capital requirements and income tax payments.  The higher
working capital was attributable to higher inventory levels due to
significantly increased business volumes. Payments for income
taxes totaled $2,510,000 in the 1995 first quarter, versus net
income tax refunds of $2,169,000 in the 1994 period. Higher
operating earnings and reductions in trade accounts receivable
contributed favorably to the first quarter operating cash flows.
Cash collections on accounts receivable were higher in the first
quarter of 1995 compared to the 1994 period due to much higher
shipments in the 1994 fourth quarter compared to the prior year
fourth quarter.

Investing activities used $1,028,000 of cash in the 1995 three
month period compared to cash provided by investing activities of
$824,000 in the comparable prior year period.  Proceeds from
collections of notes receivable associated with the sales of
former businesses totaled $46,000 ($1,156,000 in 1994.)  Capital
expenditures totaled $1,090,000 in the three months of 1995
compared to $401,000 in the first quarter of 1994.  The Company
expects full year capital spending levels in 1995 to
approximately equal its depreciation expense.

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.
