Parker operates in two industry segments:  Industrial and Aerospace.  The
Industrial Segment is the largest and includes a significant portion of
International operations.

Industrial - This segment produces a broad range of motion-control and fluid
systems and components used in all kinds of manufacturing, packaging,
processing, transportation, mobile construction, and agricultural and
military machinery and equipment.  Sales are direct to major original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and through a broad distribution network to
smaller OEMs and the aftermarket.

Aerospace - This segment designs and manufactures products and provides
aftermarket support for commercial, military and general-aviation aircraft,
missile and spacecraft markets. The Aerospace Segment provides a full range
of systems and components for hydraulic, pneumatic and fuel applications.

    common stock on the open market, at prevailing prices. The repurchase will 
    primarily be funded from operating cash flows and the shares will 
    initially be held as treasury stock. During the three-month period ended

5.  Acquisitions

    In July 1998 the Company acquired the stock of B.A.G. Acquisition Ltd.,
    the parent company of Veriflo Corporation, located in Richmond, 
    California and Carson City, Nevada.  Veriflo, with calendar year 1997 
    revenues of $65 million, manufactures high-purity regulators and valves 
    for precision gas delivery.

    In August 1998 the Company acquired Fluid Power Systems of Lincolnshire, 
    Illinois, a manufacturer of hydraulic valves and electrohydrualic systems 
    and controls.  Fluid Power Systems, with estimated calendar year 1998 
    revenues of $42 million, serves the construction, aerial reach and 
    agricultural markets.

    Total purchase price for these businesses was approximately $85.2 million 
    in cash.  Both acquisitions are being accounted for by the purchase 
    method.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
                AND COMPARABLE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997


CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 increased 12.5 percent to 
$1,218.7 million. Prior-year first quarter sales were $1,083.2 million. 
Acquisitions within the past twelve months accounted for approximately 43 
percent of the current-year increase.  Additionally, continuing high volume 
in the commercial aviation business also contributed.

Income from operations for the quarter increased 5.0 percent to $137.3 
million. However, as a percent of sales, the current-quarter operating income 
decreased to 11.3 percent from 12.1 percent the prior year. Cost of sales, as 
a percent of sales, increased to 77.7 percent from 76.4 percent. The 
declining margins reflect the weakness experienced in several markets, 
including semiconductor manufacturing, resulting in underabsorption of fixed 
costs and a less favorable product mix.  Selling, general and administrative 
expenses, as a percent of sales, decreased to 11.0 percent from 11.6 percent 
primarily a result of a decrease in Corporate general and administrative 
expenses.

Interest expense for the current-year quarter increased $5.6 million due to 
higher average debt outstanding for the quarter. Borrowings were used 
primarily to fund acquisitions.

Net income for the quarter was $78.1 million compared to $78.3 million in the 
prior year and declined to 6.4 percent of sales compared to 7.2 percent the 
prior-year quarter.

Backlog increased to $1.70 billion at September 30, 1998 compared to $1.54 
billion the prior year and $1.65 billion at June 30, 1998. 


RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

INDUSTRIAL - Net sales of the Industrial Segment increased 10.3 percent to 
$937.3 million compared to $849.9 million the prior year. Industrial North 
American sales increased 7.1 percent while Industrial International sales 
increased 17.4 percent. Without the effects of acquisitions, North America 
sales would have increased 2.5 percent and International sales would have 
increased 5.8 percent.  Without the effects of currency-rate changes 
International sales increased 18.2 percent.  Industrial North America 
sales were affected by the continuing decline in the semiconductor 
manufacturing market.  International Industrial sales benefited from improved 
economic conditions in Europe while Latin American sales were flat.

Operating income for the Industrial Segment decreased 4.1 percent to $105.3 
million. Industrial North America decreased 11.3 percent and Industrial 
International increased 27.8 percent. North American operating income, as a 
percent of sales, decreased to 12.7 percent from 15.3 percent as margins were 
affected by a change in the mix of products sold and lower margin returns 
from sales contributed by recent acquisitions.  International operating 
income, as a percent of sales, increased to 8.3 percent from 7.6 percent 
primarily due to the improving industrial economy in Europe.

Industrial Segment backlog increased 14.0 percent compared to a year ago, and 
1.9 percent since June 30, 1998. For the remainder of the fiscal year, 
business conditions appear favorable for the International operations and are 
expected to remain the same as first quarter conditions for the North American 
operations.

AEROSPACE - Net sales of the Aerospace Segment were up 20.7 percent for the 
quarter. Income from operations increased 20.2 percent and Income from 
operations, as a percent of sales, was 15.7 percent 

                                    - 8 -
<PAGE>
compared to 15.8 percent prior year. The increase in sales and operating 
income were primarily due to the continuing strong upswing of the commercial 
aviation business.  

Backlog for the Aerospace Segment increased 8.6 percent compared to a year 
ago and increased 4.1 percent since June 30, 1998. As backlog for the 
commercial aviation business continues to increase, management anticipates 
continuing growth for the Aerospace Segment. However, a change to heavier OEM 
volume in future product mix could result in slightly lower margins.

Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased to $12.4 million for 
fiscal 1999 compared to $16.0 million the prior year. The decrease is 
primarily due to the reduced expense associated with incentive compensation 
plans as a result of the Company's lower stock price.


BALANCE SHEET

Working capital increased to $865.0 million at September 30, 1998 from $791.3 
million at June 30, 1998, with the ratio of current assets to current 
liabilities increasing to 1.86 to 1. The increase was primarily due to an 
increase in Accounts receivable and Inventories and decreases in Accounts 
payable and Accrued liabilities, partially offset by increases in Notes 
payable and Accrued domestic and foreign taxes.

Accounts receivable and Inventories increased since June 30, 1998, primarily 
as a result of acquisitions within the Industrial segment and volume 
increases primarily in Aerospace operations. Days sales outstanding and 
months supply increased slightly during the quarter.

Other assets increased $97.4 million since June 30, 1998, primarily due to an 
increase in goodwill from acquisitions.

The increase in Accrued domestic and foreign taxes to $64.8 million at 
September 30, 1998 from $34.4 million at June 30, 1998 is essentially due to 
the timing of the quarterly income tax payments.

Other liabilities increased $9.9 million to $54.2 million at September 30, 
1998 primarily due to a reclassification from Accrued liabilities resulting 
from participants electing to defer certain incentive compensation benefits.

The debt to debt-equity ratio increased to 36.3 percent at September 30, 1998 
compared to 31.6 percent as of June 30, 1998 primarily due to an increase in 
Notes payable and Long-term debt.

Due to the weakening of the dollar, foreign currency translation adjustments 
resulted in an increase in net assets of $25.2 million during the first 
quarter of fiscal 1999.  The translation adjustments primarily affected 
Accounts Receivable, Inventories and Plant and equipment.


STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

Net cash provided by operating activities was $19.2 million in fiscal 1999 
compared to $73.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The 
decline in net cash provided was primarily the result of the activity within 
the working capital items - Accounts receivable, Inventories, Accounts 
payable, Accrued payrolls and Prepaid expenses - which used cash of $138.0 
million in fiscal 1999 compared to using cash of $77.9 million in fiscal 
1998.  In addition, Other accrued liabilities used cash in the current year 
compared to providing cash in the prior year and cash was provided by the net 
effect of activity in Other assets and Other liabilities, which had used cash 
in the prior year.

Net cash used in investing activities declined to $140.9 million for fiscal 
1999 compared to $195.2 million for fiscal 1998 primarily due to a reduction 
in the amount spent on acquisitions and capital expenditures.

Financing activities provided net cash of $134.0 million in fiscal 1999 as 
opposed to $93.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The 
change resulted primarily from debt borrowings providing cash of $180.0 
million in fiscal 1999 compared to $120.5 million the prior year, partially 
offset by an increase in cash used for common stock repurchases of $19.2 
million between fiscal quarters.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts and cross-currency swap 
agreements to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in related foreign 
currencies.  These contracts are with major financial institutions and the 
risk of loss is considered remote.  The Company does not hold or issue 
derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.  In addition, the 
Company's foreign locations, in the ordinary course of business, enter into 
financial guarantees through financial institutions which enable customers to 
be reimbursed in the event of nonperformance by the Company.  The total value 
of open contracts and any risk to the Company as a result of these 
arrangements is not material to the Company's financial position, liquidity 
or results of operations.


YEAR 2000 CONSIDERATONS

The Company has been taking actions to assure that its computerized products 
and systems and all external interfaces are Year 2000 compliant.  These 
actions are part of a formal information technology initiative which the 
Company began several years ago.  As a result, none of the Company's other 
information technology projects have been delayed as a result of the year 
2000 issue.  The Company expects to have all internal standard application 
systems, including all information systems plus any equipment or embedded 
systems which may be impacted, compliant by July 1999 by modifying present 
systems, installing new systems and monitoring third-party interfaces.  The 
cost for these actions is not material to the Company's results of 
operations.  The Company will continue to reassess the need for alternative 
actions based on its progress towards being year 2000 compliant by July 1999.

In addition, the Company is currently contacting its key suppliers, 
customers, distributors and financial service providers regarding their Year 
2000 status and anticipates this survey will be substantially complete by 
January 1999.  If it is determined any key third party may not be prepared, 
the Company will develop a contingency plan.

While management does not expect that the consequences of any failure of the 
Company or any key third party to be fully compliant by 2000 would 
significantly affect the financial position, liquidity, or results of 
operations of the Company, there can be no assurance that any such failure to 
be fully compliant by 2000 would not have an adverse impact on the Company.


EURO PREPARATIONS

The Company is in the process of upgrading its systems to accommodate the 
Euro currency by January 1, 1999.  The cost of this upgrade is immaterial to 
the Company's financial results.  Although difficult to predict, any 
competitive implications and any impact on existing financial instruments are 
also expected to be immaterial to the Company's results of operations, 
financial position or liquidity.

    acquisitions,

*   competitive pressure on sales and pricing,

*   increases in material and other production costs which cannot be 
    recovered in product pricing,

*   uncertainties surrounding the year 2000 issues and the new Euro currency,

*   difficulties in introducing new products and entering new markets, and

*   uncertainties surrounding the global economy and global market 
    conditions, including among others, the economy of the Asia Pacific 
    region and the potential devaluation of currencies.
