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 made directly to major original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and through a broad distribution network to
smaller OEMs and the aftermarket.

                    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, 1999, the results 
   of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1999 
   and 1998 and cash flows for the nine months then ended.

2. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

   In March 1999 the Company's ESOP was releveraged when the ESOP Trust
   borrowed $112 million and used the proceeds to purchase 3,055,413 shares
   of the Company's common stock from the Company's treasury.  The Company
   used the proceeds from the sale to pay down debt.  The loan is 
   unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and therefore the unpaid balance
   of the borrowing is reflected in the Consolidated Balance sheet as Long-term
   debt.  An equivalent amount representing Deferred compensation is recorded
   as a deduction from Shareholders' equity.

3. Non-recurring charge

   During the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 the Company incurred an 
   acquisition-related charge of $5.2 million or $0.5 per share.  An independent
   appraisal of Computer Technology Corporation, a February 1998 acquisition, 
   attributed a portion of the purchase price to in-process research and 
   development.  Generally accepted accounting principles require research and 
   development to be expensed.  The charge was recorded to Cost of sales within
   the North American Industrial segment.

5.  Stock repurchase program

    The Board of Directors has approved a program to repurchase the 
    Company's 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. The Company
    did not purchase any shares of its common stock during the 
    three-month period ended March 31, 1999.  Year-to-date the Company
    has purchased 1,500,000 shares at an average price of $32.459 per share.
                                   

6.  Comprehensive income
    
    On July 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting 
    Comprehensive Income".  SFAS No. 130 establishes new standards for 
    reporting comprehensive income and its components.  The Company's 
    only item of other comprehensive income is foreign currency 
    translation adjustments recorded in shareholders' equity.  
    Comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 
    1999 and 1998 is as follows:

7.  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.

                             FORM 10-Q
                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
             AND COMPARABLE PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998


CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME

Net sales increased 5.0 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 and 8.2 
percent for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1999.  Without 
acquisitions, the increases would have been 1.4 percent and 4.1 percent, 
respectively.  Excluding acquisitions, the growth occurred primarily in the 
Aerospace segment.

Income from operations was $130.4 million for the current third quarter and 
$382.1 million for the current nine months, a decrease of 10.6 percent for 
the quarter and 3.6 percent for the nine months.  The prior year quarter and 
nine-month results include an acquisition-related charge of $5.2 million for 
in-process research and development.  As a percent of sales, Income from 
operations declined to 10.4 percent from 12.2 percent for the quarter and to 
10.4 percent from 11.7 percent for the nine months.  Cost of sales as a 
percent of sales increased to 78.8 percent from 76.2 percent for the quarter 
and to 78.4 percent from 76.6 percent for the nine months.  The declining 
margins are primarily the result of the underabsorption of overhead costs and 
the effects of pricing pressure in the Industrial segment.   Selling, general 
and administrative expenses, as a percent of sales, declined to 10.9 percent 
of sales from 11.6 percent for the quarter and to 11.2 percent from 11.7 
percent for the nine months.  The improvement in selling, general and 
administrative expenses is primarily the result of lower incentive 
compensation.

Interest expense increased $2.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 
and $12.0 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1999 due 
primarily to increased borrowings related to acquisitions completed in the 
last 12 months.

Interest and other income for both the current year quarter and nine months 
included $1.7 million in interest income related to an IRS refund.  Interest 
and other income for both the prior year quarter and nine months included 
$3.3 million in income related to the relocation of the corporate 
headquarters.

The effective tax rate for year-to-date 1999 is 35.0 percent, compared to a 
rate of 36.0 percent in fiscal 1998.  The decrease in rate results from 
having received no tax benefit for the acquisition-related $5.2 million 
charge for in-process R&D recorded in fiscal 1998.

Net income declined 8.1 percent for the quarter and 6.3 percent for the nine 
months, as compared to the prior year.  As a percent of sales, Net income 
declined to 6.1 percent from 7.0 percent for the quarter and to 5.9 percent 
from 6.9 percent for the nine months.

Backlog was $1.69 billion at March 31, 1999 compared to $1.67 billion in the 
prior year and $1.65 billion at June 30, 1998.  The slight increase in 
backlog reflects an improvement in order rates experienced in the latter part 
of the third quarter of fiscal 1999.

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT


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              2.9%         4.0%
Industrial International              4.4%        10.7%
Total Industrial                      3.4%         6.1%

Without the effect of currency-rate changes, International sales would have 
increased 5.4 percent for the quarter and 11.1 percent for the nine months.

Without the effect of acquisitions completed within the past 12 months, the 
changes in Net sales would have been:
                                    Period ending March 31,
                                  Three Months   Nine Months
Industrial North America              (.4)%         .3%
Industrial International             (2.9)%        2.0%
Total Industrial                     (1.2)%        .9 %

Operating income for the Industrial segment was down 13.1 percent for the 
quarter and 10.3 percent for the nine months.  Industrial North American 
Operating income decreased 6.3 percent for the quarter and 12.6 percent for 
the nine months while Industrial International results decreased 39.9 percent 
for the quarter and .7 percent for the nine months.  As a percent of sales, 
Industrial North American Operating income decreased to 13.3 percent from 
14.5 percent for the quarter and to 12.3 percent from 14.6 percent for the 
nine months.  Industrial International Operating income decreased to 4.6 
percent from 8.1 percent for the quarter and to 6.7 percent from 7.5 percent 
for the nine months.

Industrial segment margins for the third quarter and first nine months of 
fiscal 1999 continue to be adversely affected by the underabsorption of 
overhead costs (particularly in the current quarter as operations focused on 
reducing inventories) and pricing pressure. 

Order demand for much of the current fiscal year has been declining for many 
of the Industrial operations, particularly in the agricultural, 
petrochemical, construction and machine tool markets.  A slight improvement 
in the trend of order rates was seen late in the third quarter of fiscal 
1999; however, it is unclear whether this upward trend will be sustainable 
for the balance of the current fiscal year and into fiscal 2000.  The 
strength in the European operations experienced earlier in the fiscal year 
has moderated while the results in the Asia-Pacific region have improved.

Total Industrial Segment backlog decreased 3.3 percent compared to March 31, 
1998 and .6 percent since June 30, 1998.  Without acquisitions, backlog would 
have decreased 7.6 percent compared to March 31, 1998 and 5.1 percent since 
June 30, 1998.  The decline in backlog is due to the decline in order rates 
that has been experienced for much of the fiscal year in a number of the 
Industrial Segment markets.

Management anticipates the North American Industrial operations to experience 
slight revenue growth for the balance of the fiscal year with margins 
remaining at the current quarter level.  Current business conditions in 
Europe are expected to continue into the fourth quarter of 1999 while 
continued improvement in the Asia Pacific region should be seen.  Uncertainty 
continues to surround the business conditions for the balance of the fiscal 
year in Latin America.

AEROSPACE - Aerospace Net sales were up 10.9 percent for the quarter and 15.8 
percent for the nine months.  The continuing high level of activity reflects 
the increase in commercial aircraft build rates.

Operating income for the Aerospace Segment decreased 4.4 percent for the 
quarter and increased 10.1 percent for the nine-month period.  As a percent 
of sales, Operating income decreased to 15.2 percent from 17.6 percent for 
the quarter and to 15.3 percent from 16.1 percent for the nine-month period.  
The decline in margins reflects a change in mix of OEM and aftermarket sales 
between the current quarter and prior year quarter as well as the effect of a 
reduction in inventory.

Backlog for the Aerospace Segment increased 4.0 percent from March 31, 1998 
and 4.5 percent since June 30, 1998.  The increase in backlog reflects the 
recent upward trend in order rates; however, the level of order rates for OEM 
business is expected to decline in fiscal 2000.


BALANCE SHEET

Working capital increased to $999.2 million at March 31, 1999 from $791.3 
million at June 30, 1998 with the ratio of current assets to current 
liabilities increasing to 2.2 to 1.  The increase was primarily due to 
decreases in Notes payable, Accounts payable, trade and Accrued liabilities.

Accounts receivable were higher on March 31, 1999 than on June 30, 1998 
although days sales outstanding remained at 46 days.

Inventories decreased since June 30, 1998 despite the addition of inventory 
from current year acquisitions as the result of a focused effort to reduce 
inventory levels to reflect current market conditions.  Months supply of 
inventory was 3.6 at March 31, 1999 compared to 3.7 at June 30, 1998.

Accounts payable, trade decreased $70.1 million since June 30, 1998 with the 
reduction occurring consistently throughout the operations.  The decrease 
reflects the result of lower production levels.

Accrued liabilities decreased $37.8 million since June 30, 1998 primarily as 
a result of lower incentive compensation accruals occurring throughout most 
of the operations.

Notes payable decreased $92.7 million since June 30, 1998 primarily due to 
using the proceeds from the sale of treasury shares to the ESOP Trust to pay 
down commercial paper.

The debt to debt-equity ratio increased to 33.7 percent at March 31, 1999 
from 31.6 percent at June 30, 1998 as a result of an increase in Long-term 
debt which was utilized to finance recent acquisitions.


STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

Net cash provided by operating activities was $279.4 million for the nine 
months ended March 31, 1999, as compared to $198.1 million for the same nine 
months of 1998.  Activity within the working capital items - Accounts 
receivable, Inventories, Accounts payable, Accrued payrolls and Other accrued 
liabilities - used cash of $116.4 million in fiscal 1999 compared to using 
cash of $172.0 million in fiscal 1998.  Deferred income taxes provided cash 
of $3.3 million in fiscal 1999 versus using cash of $17.9 million in fiscal 
1998.

Net cash used in investing activities declined to $254.0 million for fiscal 
1999 compared to $328.5 million for fiscal 1998 primarily due to a reduction 
in the amount spent on acquisitions.

Financing activities used cash of $15.4 million for the nine months ended 
March 31, 1999 compared to providing cash of $105.6 million for the same 
period in 1998.  The change resulted primarily from common share activity 
providing cash of $64.6 million in fiscal 1999 compared to using cash of 
$71.0 million in fiscal 1998 as well as net debt activity using cash of $28.9 
million in fiscal 1999 compared to providing cash of $226.5 million in the 
prior year.  The fluctuation between fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998 cash flow 
from common share activity is the result of the Company selling treasury 
shares to the ESOP Trust in fiscal 1999.

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 taken action 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 significant 
information technology projects have been delayed due to 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 but at this time 
anticipates that no such actions will be required.

In addition, the Company contacted its key suppliers, customers, distributors 
and financial service providers regarding their Year 2000 status.  Follow-up 
inquiries and audits with such key third parties will be conducted as 
warranted.  The Company expects assurance that key third parties are year 
2000 compliant by July 1999.  If it is determined that any key third party 
may not be year 2000 compliant on a timely basis, the Company will execute a 
contingency plan that has been developed to ensure its operations are not 
affected by such key third party's year 2000 noncompliance.

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 has completed an upgrade of its systems to accommodate the Euro 
currency.  The cost of this upgrade was immaterial to the Company's financial 
results.  Although difficult to predict, any competitive implications and any 
impact on existing financial instruments of using the Euro currency are 
expected to be immaterial to the Company's results of operations, financial 
position or liquidity.
