Report of Independent Auditors 
 
 
Plan Committee 
Astec Industries, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan 
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets  
available for benefits of Astec Industries, Inc. 401(k) Retirement  
Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the  
related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for  
the year ended December 31, 1994.  These financial statements  
are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our  
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial  
statements based on our audits. 
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted  
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and  
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether  
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An  
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the  
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also  
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant  
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall  
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits  
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present  
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits  
of the Plan at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in its  
net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31,  
1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 
 
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on  
the financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying  
supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes as  
of December 31, 1994, and of reportable transactions for the year  
then ended, are presented for purposes of complying with the  
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and  
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act  
of 1974, and are not a required part of the financial statements.   
The fund information in the statements of net assets available for  
benefits and statement of changes in net assets available for  
benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than  
to present the net assets available for benefits and changes in net  
assets available for benefits of each fund.  The supplemental  
schedules and fund information have been subjected to the  
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements  
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in  
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Astec Industries, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1995


1. Description of Plan

The following description of the Astec Industries, Inc. 401(k) Retirement 
Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to 
the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all full-time employees of 
Astec Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) who have completed 
one year of continuous service and reached age twenty-one.  It is subject to 
the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 
(ERISA).  The Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the 
Company.

Contributions

Participant contributions are withheld from each payroll in amounts equal to 
a percentage of the participant's compensation as elected by the participant.  
The maximum participant contribution for the plan year is the lesser of 
$9,240, as indexed by the Internal Revenue Service, or 15% of the 
participant's base salary.  The Company matches 50% of the participant's 
contribution up to 4% of the employee's earnings.  The Plan is fully funded by 
the Company at the end of each month.

Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and 
allocation of the Company's contributions and Plan earnings. Allocations are 
based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to 
which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the 
participant's account.

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested with respect to their contributions, the 
Company's matching contributions, and the earnings thereon.



1. Description of Plan (continued)

Investment Options

During 1994, the Plan was amended to expand investment options from three funds
to six funds. Participants may direct employer and employee contributions into 
any of six investment funds.

Stable Value Fund - Funds are invested in shares of a registered investment 
company that invests in guaranteed investment contracts (First Stable Value 
Fund).

Tactical Allocation Fund - Funds are invested in shares of a registered 
investment company that invests in debt and equity securities (Phoenix 
Investments Total Return Fund).

Value Growth and Income Fund - Funds are invested in shares of a registered 
investment company that invests in equity securities of well-known companies 
across a wide range of industries (Massachusetts Investors Trust Fund).

Growth Equity Fund - Funds are invested in shares of a registered investment 
company that invests in common stocks of companies with accelerating earnings 
and revenues (Twentieth Century Growth Investors Fund).

Aggressive Growth Fund - Funds are invested in shares of a registered 
investment company that invests in common stocks of small to medium sized
companies (Twentieth Century Ultra Investors Fund).

Astec Common Stock Fund - Funds are invested in common stock of the Company.

Participants may change their investment options quarterly.

Participant Notes Receivable

During 1994, a loan provision was implemented into the Plan.  In accordance 
with IRS guidelines, qualified participants can borrow up to 50% of their 
vested account balances at a specified interest rate for 
a maximum term of five years unless used to purchase a primary residence (where
the term can be increased). Principal and interest are paid 
ratably through monthly payroll deductions.  Loan transactions are treated as a
transfer from (to) the investment fund to (from) the loan fund.

Payment of Benefits

On termination of service, a participant may receive a lump-sum amount equal to
the vested value of his or her account, or upon death, disability or retirement,
elect to receive a life annuity or monthly, quarterly, 
semi-annual or annual installments over a period of time.



2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Investments

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. The shares of registered 
investment companies are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net
asset values of shares held by the Plan at year end. Shares 
of common stock are valued at quoted market prices. The participant notes 
receivable are valued at cost which approximates fair value. The investments in
Hartford Life Insurance Company (Hartford) separate 
accounts are valued at their current unit value as contractually determined. 
Deposits under the group annuity contract are valued at principal amount plus 
accrued interest.

3. Investments

The Plan's investments are summarized in the table below and in the 
accompanying schedule.  Investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net
assets are separately identified.

4. Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses of the Plan for 1994 were paid by the Company.

5. Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right 
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate 
the Plan subject to ERISA requirements.  If the 
Plan is terminated or contributions permanently discontinued, benefits will be 
distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

6. Income Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan is a qualified employee 
benefit plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is, 
therefore, not subject to tax under existing income tax laws.  
The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on November 2, 1994, in which
the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in 
compliance with the applicable requirements of the 
Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan has been amended since receiving the 
determination letter.  However, the plan committee believes that the Plan is 
currently designed and being operated in compliance with the 
applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  Therefore, they believe 
that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was 
tax-exempt as of the financial statement date.
