 have occurred had the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of 1994 or of

	Interest expense increased to $467,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 
from $71,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1994.  Interest expense as a 
percentage of net sales increased to .8% for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 
from .2% for the same period of 1994. Approximately a third of the increase 
from 1994 to 1995 relates to interest expense on Industrial Revenue Bonds used 
for 1994 capital expenditures.  The remainder of the increase in interest 
expense for the first quarter of 1995 is attributable to usage of the 
Company's revolving line of credit and increased interest rates on the credit 
line compared to the same period in 1994.

	Other income, net of other expense, was $543,000, or .9% of net sales for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared to net other expense of  $194,000, or
.4% of net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1994.  Included in other 
income, net of expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 was a loss of 
$723,000 from the Wibau-Astec joint venture. Excluding the effect of the loss 
from joint venture for the first quarter of 1994, the other income, net of 
expense as a percentage of net sales was 1.1% for the first quarter of 
1994. The Company now owns 100% of Wibau-Astec and their operations are 
included in consolidated operating results.

	Income tax expense increased to $1,689,000 at March 31, 1995 from $99,000 at 
March 31, 1994.  Years prior to 1995 benefited from tax loss carryforwards but 
most of 1995 and future earnings will be fully taxed.
	
	Backlog at March 31, 1995 was $67,862,000 compared to $54,593,000 at March 
31, 1994.  The backlog at March 31, 1995 includes amounts from the newly 
acquired CEI Enterprises, Inc., and from Wibau-Astec and Gibat Ohl.  Excluding 
the backlog of these companies, the backlog at March 13, 1995 compared the that
of  March 31, 1994 for the remaining companies, in total,  has remained stable.

	Earnings per share were $.25 for the first quarter of 1995 compared to $.29 
for the same period of 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

	As of March 31, 1995, the Company had working capital of $57,951,000 
compared to $47,136,000 at March 31, 1994.
	
	Total short-term borrowings, including current maturities of long-term debt, 
were $8,404,000 at March 31, 1995.  Long-term debt less current maturities was
$23,310,000 at March 31,1995. Debt outstanding at March 31, 1995 consists of 
industrial revenue bonds issued to finance capital expenditures, short term 
notes payable issued to foreign subsidiaries for working capital and the 
outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit.

	Capital expenditures in 1995, for plant expansion and for further modern-
ization of the Company's manufacturing processes, are expected to approach 
$10,000,000 which is $2,000,000 above budgeted capital expenditures.  These 
expenditures are being financed using internally generated funds.  Capital 
expenditures at March 31, 1995 were $5,266,000.

	In July, 1994, a new loan agreement was signed for $15,000,000 with The First 
National Bank of Chicago that expires June 30, 1997.  The new loan agreement is 
an unsecured revolving line of credit. The outstanding balance on the revolving
line of credit at March 31, 1995 was $10,270,000. The Company was in compliance
with all financial covenants at March 31, 1995.

	On March 29, 1995, the Company announced completion of the acquisition of 
CEI Enterprises ("CEI") of Albuquerque, New Mexico for cash and Astec stock.  
CEI manufactures heat transfer equipment and rubber blending systems for the 
hot mix asphalt industry.  Astec plans to expand the CEI product line utilizing 
Heatec's industrial products technology and to use CEI as an outlet for 
products in the western part of the United States.

Contingencies

	The Company is engaged in certain pending litigation involving claims or other 
matters arising in the normal course of business.  Most of these claims involve
product liability or other  tort claims for property damage or personal injury
against which the  Company is insured.  As a part of its litigation management
program, the Company maintains general liability insurance covering product 
liability and other similar tort claims providing the Company coverage of 
$8,000,000 subject to a substantial self-insured retention under the terms 
of which the Company has the right to coordinate and control the management 
of its claims and the defense of these actions.

	The Company's Milwaukee based subsidiary, Telsmith, Inc., was a defendant in a 
patent infringement action brought by Nordberg, Inc., a manufacturer of a 
competing line of rock crushing equipment, seeking monetary damages and an 
injunction to cease an alleged infringement of a patent on certain components 
used in the production of its rock crushing equipment.  In the patent suit 
on March 30, 1995, the United States district Court for the Eastern District 
of Wisconsin issued a ruling in favor of the Company and entered a declaratory 
judgment in favor of Telsmith, Inc. and against Plaintiff Nordberg, Inc. 
declaring that claims 8 through 11 and 13 of Nordberg's United States patent   
No. 4,478, 373, entitled "Conical Crusher" are invalid.  The Court also entered
judgment in favor of Telsmith, Inc. and against Nordberg, Inc. dismissing 
Nordberg's claim of infringement against Telsmith.  The Company was naturally 
pleased with the court's decision, but has filed a Notice of Appeal asking  
the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to overturn the 
trial court's decision not to award Telsmith its attorney's fees in the 
case.  As of May 1, 1995, Nordberg has not appealed, although it has 
additional time to do so.
	
	In the event of an appeal by Nordberg, the Company's patent counsel are 
confident that the trial court's decision on invalidity and infringement will 
stand and are hopeful that the Federal Circuit will overturn the trial court's 
decision not to award Telsmith's attorney's fees.

	On October 28, 1993, the Company was also named as a defendant in a patent 
infringement action brought by Gencor, Inc., a manufacturer of a competing line 
of asphalt plants, seeking monetary damages and an injunction to cease an 
alleged plant product line.  This case was filed in the U.S. District Court 
for the Middle District of Florida, Orlando Division, and is currently in 
the discovery phase.  Management believes this case to be without merit and 
intends to vigorously defend this suit; however, due to the uncertainties 
inherent in the litigation process, the Company is unable to predict the 
ultimate outcome of this litigation.

	Management has reviewed all claims and lawsuits and, upon the advice of its 
litigation counsel, has made provision for any estimable losses; however, the 
Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the outstanding claims and
lawsuits.
