                          PEERLESS MFG. CO.

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consoli-
    dated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of
    only the normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly its
    financial position as of March 31, 1995 and 1994 and the results
    of operations and cash flows for the nine months then ended.

2.  The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
    the results to be expected for the full year.  Peerless Mfg. Co. designs
    and manufactures pressure vessels to customer specifications, sales of
    which are obtained by competitive bids and may result in material sales
    and profitability increases or decreases when comparing interim periods
    between years.  The Company recognizes sales of custom-contracted pro-
    ducts at the completion of the manufacturing process, which normally is
    less than one year.

3.  The adjusted backlog of unshipped orders and letters of intent at
    March 31, 1995, was approximately $15,100,000 as compared to a
    March 31, 1994 backlog of $16,960,000.  Of the $15,100,000 backlog
    at March 31, 1995, approximately 70% is scheduled to be shipped
    in the current fiscal year.

4.  The Company has a formal agreement with a bank for a $5,000,000
    continuing line of credit, renewable annually.  Loans under this
    agreement represent the Company's primary short-term borrowing during
    the year and bear interest at the prevailing prime rate.  Under the
    terms of this agreement, the Company is required to pay 1/4 of 1% per
    annum on the unused portion of the facility.  As of March 31, 1995
    the Company had no loans outstanding, with $1,510,000 being outstanding
    at March 31, 1994.

5.  The Company consolidates the accounts of its wholly-owned foreign
    subsidiary, Peerless International N.V. and its wholly-owned foreign
    subsidiary, Peerless Europe B.V. and its wholly-owned foreign subsidiary
    Peerless Europe Limited.  All significant intercompany accounts and
    transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

                          PEERLESS MFG. CO.
               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Capital Resources and Liquidity
- - - - - - - -------------------------------

As a general policy, the Company maintains corporate liquidity at a
level adequate to support existing operations and planned internal
growth, and to allow continued operations through periods of
unanticipated adversity.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $280,693 from June 30, 1994.
Company operations provided $814,860 of cash during the nine months.
Offsetting the cash provided by ongoing operations were fixed asset
acquisitions amounting to $294,470, the payment of short-term debt in
the amount of $260,400, payment of dividends of $540,279, and
acquisition of additional short-term investments of $2,100,644.

As indicated, operations provided $814,860 of cash in the nine months
ended March 31, 1995.  Primarily the funds provided by operations
during the current nine month period resulted from a decrease in
Accounts Receivable (net of a decrease in Customer Advances) which
amounted to $2,079,184 and a decrease in Inventories of $1,738,204.
These changes reflect the completion, shipment, and subsequent
collection of two large customer orders.  A decrease in Accounts
Payable during the nine months in the amount of $1,140,712 partially
offset the funds provided from the changes in Accounts Receivable and
Inventories.

The Company has historically financed and continues to finance plant
expansion, equipment purchases, acquisitions and working capital
requirements primarily through the retention of earnings, which is
reflected by the absence of long-term debt.  In addition to retained
earnings, the Company has from time to time used a short-term bank
credit line of $5,000,000 to supplement working capital.  The Company
has no material commitments for capital expenditures other than its
established program of maintaining existing plant and equipment.


             CHANGES-3RD QUARTER AND NINE  MONTHS  of FISCAL 1995
             ----------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF            3rd Qtr.   Nine Months
OPERATIONS           1994-1995    1994-1995
- - - - - - - ------------------- ------------ ------------ ------------------------
Sales               ($1,762,069)  $7,024,068

                       -22.71%      +42.69%

  The decrease of current quarter sales when compared to the previous
year is the result of a failure to complete approximately $2,000,000
of orders which were scheduled to ship during the quarter. These
orders are now rescheduled to ship in the Company's fourth quarter.
Increased sales for the nine months of the current fiscal year was
primarily due to two large shipments in the first quarter totaling
approximately $5,000,000.

RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
- - - - - - - ------------------- ------------ ------------ ------------------------
Gross Profit Margin  ($727,652)   $2,179,919

                       -26.48%      +37.79%

  Gross margin as a percent of sales was 33.7% and 33.9% for the
quarter and nine months of FY 1995 vs. 35.4% and 35.1% for the same
periods of FY 1994.  The decline in gross margin percentages in the
current fiscal year was primarily due to there being a better product
mix of higher margin sales for the three and nine months of fiscal
1994 when compared to the same periods in fiscal 1995.
- - - - - - - ------------------- ------------ ------------ ------------------------
Operating Expenses    $149,943     $938,800

                        +7.24%      +16.81%

  The year to year increase in operating expenses is primarily the
result of a rise of $554,000 in commission cost which is directly
attributable to the increase in sales volume, and to an increase of
$238,000 in the operating costs of the Company's European subsidiaries
and $140,000 increase in SCR engineering expenses which reflects the
significant increase in the level of activities currently being
experienced in those operations.
- - - - - - - ------------------- ------------ ------------ ------------------------
Other Income(Loss)     $8,720     ($99,874)

  Interest income increased for the quarter by $57,000 when compared
to the prior year due to a reduction in accounts receivable and the
purchase of short-term investments. A net loss of approximately
$55,400 from the Company's rental activities was the result of
maintenance work performed on certain rental properties in preparation
for a new lease from previously idle property. Also contributing to
the change in other income or (loss) was a provision for profit
sharing in the amount of $25,000 accrued during the nine months of
fiscal 1995.
- - - - - - - ------------------- ------------ ------------ ------------------------
Net Earnings         ($593,784)    $784,731

  The decrease in net earnings for the three months ended March 31,
1995 when compared to the three months of the preceeding fiscal year
is directly attributable to the decline in sales of $1,762,069. The
improvement in net earnings for the nine months of fiscal 1995 is
also the result of significantly improved sales volume when compared
to the nine months of fiscal 1994.
