NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts
_______________________
1. Management Representation
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
March 31, 1997, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 and cash flows for the nine months then ended.
2. Earnings per share
Primary earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of
shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the
period. Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because such
dilution is not material.
The Board of Directors has reaffirmed the repurchase, from time to time, of
up to 2.8 million shares of the Company's common stock on the open market, at
prevailing prices. The repurchase will be funded from operating cash flows and
the shares will initially be held as treasury stock. During the three-month
period ended March 31, 1997 the Company purchased 57,614 shares of its common
stock at an average price of $44.97 per share. Year-to-date the Company has
purchased 159,614 shares at an average price of $40.18 per share.
3. Acquisitions
On February 3, 1997, following receipt of Mexican government approval, the
Company purchased Hydroflex S.A. de C.V, a leading Mexican manufacturer of
hydraulic hose, fittings and adapters located in Toluca, Mexico for
approximately $9.2 million cash. Annual sales for this operation for the most
recent year prior to acquisition were approximately $11 million.
On September 5, 1996 the Company purchased the assets of the industrial
hydraulic product line of Hydraulik-Ring AG, of Nurtingen, Germany, for
approximately $17 million cash. Annual sales for this operation for the
most recent year prior to acquisition were approximately $31 million.
Both acquisitions are being accounted for by the purchase method.
4. Contingencies
In November 1996 a jury verdict was rendered against the Company in connection
with the termination of ASI Marine Industrial as a Company distributor.
The verdict against the Company included $1.6 million in compensatory damages
and $6.0 million in punitive damages. On appeal, the Company intends to seek a
new trial on all issues and believes that substantial grounds exist for the
punitive damages, at a minimum, to be reversed. In the opinion of management,
the ultimate liability with respect to this litigation will not have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position of
the Company.

FORM 10-Q
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
AND COMPARABLE PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME
Net sales reached $1.0 billion for the quarter, an increase of 12.4 percent
for the third quarter and 14.7 percent for the nine-month period ended
March 31, 1997. Without the effect of acquisitions the increases would have
been 3.9 percent and 4.6 percent, respectively. The Aerospace operations
continued to achieve significant gains, while the Industrial operations also
accomplished strong growth during the quarter.
Income from operations was $130.8 million for the current third quarter and
$309.9 million for the current nine months, an increase of 11.8 percent for
the quarter and 5.3 percent for the nine months. As a percent of sales,
Income from operations remained fairly steady for the quarter but decreased
to 10.4 percent from 11.3 percent for the nine months. Cost of sales as a
percent of sales increased to 76.5 percent from 76.0 percent for the quarter
and 77.8 percent from 76.9 percent for the nine-month period. The decline in
gross profit is partially due to lower margins achieved by newly acquired
operations, but is also the result of lower volume, and therefore lower
absorption of fixed costs, within certain businesses in Europe. Selling,
general and administrative expenses, as a percent of sales, decreased to 11.1
percent from 11.4 percent for the quarter, but remained steady for the nine-
month period.
Interest expense increased $3.5 million for the quarter and $12.5 million for
the nine months ended March 31, 1997, compared to the same periods ended
March 31, 1996, due to the increased borrowings incurred to complete
acquisitions.
Interest and other income for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 includes
$17.1 million income from the sale of real estate in California. This income
was substantially offset by $13.3 million accrued for exit costs and charges
for impaired assets related to the relocation of the corporate headquarters.
The effective tax rate for the year was reduced to 35.5 percent from 36.0
percent during the current quarter, resulting from an increased tax benefit
based on the export of product manufactured in the U.S. The reduction from
the prior-year tax rate of 37.0 percent is due to foreign tax-credit benefits
and a reduction in the effective state-tax rate.
Net income increased 12.8 percent for the quarter and 3.9 percent for the
nine months, compared to the prior year. As a percent of sales, Net income
remained steady at 7.4 percent for the quarter, but decreased to 6.1 percent
from 6.7 percent for the nine months.
Backlog increased to $1.5 billion at March 31, 1997 compared to $1.1 billion
the prior year and $1.3 billion at June 30, 1996. A majority of the increase
in backlog over the prior year was due to acquisitions and growth within the
Aerospace Segment.
The Company's performance in recent months has benefited from strong order-
entry rates, a high level of capacity utilization in North America, and cost
reductions in Europe and Latin America. With favorable market conditions,
management anticipates further improvement in the results for the fourth
quarter.

<PAGE>
BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION BY INDUSTRY
INDUSTRIAL - The Industrial Segment operations achieved the following Net
sales increases in the current year when compared to the equivalent prior-
year period:
Period ending March 31,
Three Months Nine Months
Industrial North America 8.9 % 7.7 %
Industrial International 1.9 % 10.0 %
Total Industrial 6.6 % 8.5%
Without the effect of acquisitions completed within the past 12 months, the
fluctuations in Net sales would have been:
Period ending March 31,
Three Months Nine Months
Industrial North America 7.6 % 6.0 %
Industrial International (8.1) % (3.4) %
Total Industrial 2.3 % 2.9 %
Without the significant impact of changes in currency rates, but with the
effect of acquisitions, volume for the Industrial International operations
for the third quarter increased more than 10 percent and the nine-month
increase was approximately 15 percent.
Operating income for the Industrial Segment increased 12.6 percent for the
quarter and 1.8 percent for the nine months. Industrial North American
Operating income increased 16.5 percent for the quarter and 10.6 percent for
the nine months while Industrial International results were relatively flat
for the quarter, and decreased 27.2 percent for the nine months. Without the
effect of acquisitions the total Industrial Segment Operating income would
have increased 10.5 percent for the quarter and 1.5 percent for the nine
months. As a percent of sales, Industrial North American Operating income
increased to 16.4 percent from 15.3 percent for the quarter and to 14.5
percent from 14.2 percent for the nine months. Industrial International
Operating income decreased to 8.5 percent from 8.8 percent for the quarter,
and to 5.7 percent from 8.6 percent for the nine months.
The North American Industrial markets remain healthy and are beginning to
give indications of strong growth. Increasing demand by the factory
automation, machine tool, and agricultural and construction equipment markets
contributed to the Company's growth during the quarter. There has also been
increasing demand for sealing products, and light-truck and automotive
products. Higher capacity utilization resulting from the increased volume
improved operating margins.
The weak demand in Europe is also beginning to show modest improvement as
order trends are improving. Reduced overhead and better capacity utilization,
along with further integration of the VOAC acquisition, resulted in improved
operating margins for the quarter.
Total Industrial Segment backlog increased 7.7 percent compared to March 31,
1996 and 8.9 percent since June 30, 1996. These increases are primarily the
result of internal growth within the North American operations.
AEROSPACE - Aerospace Segment Net sales were up 42.4 percent for the quarter
and 46.6 percent for the nine months. Without the effect of the Abex
acquisition the increases would have been 12.0 percent and 12.4 percent,
respectively.
Operating income for the Aerospace Segment increased 6.8 percent for the
quarter and 20.4 percent for the nine-month period. As a percent of sales
Operating income declined to 13.0 percent from 17.3 percent for the quarter
and to 12.0 percent from 14.6 percent for the nine-month period. The decline
in margins from the prior year is primarily the result of lower margins
contributed by the Abex operations which are still in the integration phase.
In addition, the segment incurred an increase in long-term contract reserves
related to several new contracts.
- 9 -
<PAGE>
Current demand for Parker components and systems in both the commercial
original equipment and spares markets is excellent and is expected to
continue to grow during the fourth quarter. Backlog for the Aerospace Segment
increased 56.3 percent from March 31, 1996, primarily as a result of the Abex
acquisition, and increased 12.3 percent since June 30, 1996.
CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
Working capital increased to $745.1 million at March 31, 1997 from $635.2
million at June 30, 1996 with the ratio of current assets to current
liabilities increasing slightly to 2.1 to 1. The increase was primarily due
to an increase in Accounts receivable, net and decreases in Accounts payable,
trade and Notes payable.
Accounts receivable were higher on March 31, 1997 than on June 30, 1996
primarily due to the higher level of sales volume within the Aerospace and
North American Industrial operations. The March 31, 1997 Accounts receivable
balance also includes a noncash receivable of $21.5 million related to a
transaction the Company entered into in December 1996 to sell real estate in
California. The proceeds from the sale will be used in a Section 1031 tax-
free exchange for the new corporate headquarters.
Inventories decreased $11.0 million since June 30, 1996 with the majority of
the reduction within the European Industrial operations. Months supply has
been reduced for nearly all operations.
Accounts payable, trade decreased $38.9 million since June 30, 1996 with the
reduction occurring consistently throughout the operations. Accrued
liabilities increased since June 30, 1996 primarily due to an increase in
long-term contract reserves within the Aerospace operations.
The debt to debt-equity ratio decreased to 26.8 percent at March 31, 1997
from 30.7 percent at June 30, 1996 as a result of decreases in both Notes
payable and Long-term debt.
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $33.2 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 1997, compared to the same nine months in 1996.
This increase is primarily due to a $6.7 million increase in Net income and
an increase of $28.5 million in Depreciation and Amortization expenses. The
principal working capital items - Accounts receivable, Inventories, and
Accounts payable, trade - used cash of $77.7 million in fiscal 1997 compared
to $65.9 million in fiscal 1996.
Net cash used in investing activities of $150.2 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 1997 was primarily for capital expenditures of $124.5
million. Fiscal 1996 investing activities used cash of $309.0 million, which
included $167.0 million for acquisitions and $147.2 million for capital
expenditures.
Financing activities used cash of $108.1 million for the nine months ended
March 31, 1997 primarily to reduce debt and pay dividends. The same period
in 1996 provided cash of $100.9 million as the Company increased debt to
provide cash for acquisitions.
