Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF  OPERATION 

	When used in this report, press releases and elsewhere by 
management or the Company from time to time, the words, "believes," 
"anticipates," and "expects" and similar expressions are 
intended to identify forward-looking statements that involve certain risks 
and uncertainties.  A variety of factors could cause actual results to differ 
materially from those anticipated in the 
Company's forward-looking statements, some of which are included in the 
risk factors that are 
discussed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports.  Readers are 
cautioned not to place 
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as 
the date thereof.  The 
Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any 
revisions to these 
forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect the results events 
or circumstances after 
the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

During the second quarter of 1996, the Board of Directors voted to form a 
new financial 
subsidiary called Astec Financial Services.  Al Guth, Senior Vice President 
of Astec Industries, 
Inc., is President of this subsidiary.  We believe the formation of this 
subsidiary will enhance the 
sale of our equipment by offering our customers access to capital through a 
lender that 
understands the equipment being purchased and the construction industry 
in general.  Also, during 
the second quarter we began the operation of Pavement Technology, Inc., 
located in Conyers, 
Georgia.  Astec Industries, Inc., is a fifty percent shareholder of this 
company.  Pavement 
Technology will manufacture an asphalt pavement analyzer, vibratory 
compactor, and package 
mix design laboratory.  This will allow our customers to purchase a 
complete design laboratory 
from one source.  The pavement analyzer has been accepted by certain 
states and universities as a 
new proof tester for measuring rutting, fatigue, and water susceptibility in 
hot mix asphalt.  This 
group of equipment adds a new product to the services and equipment 
we provide our customers.

Results of Operations 

	Sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, were $63,212,000 
compared to sales of 
$70,368,000 for the quarter  ended June 30, 1995.  Excluding the results of 
the company's former 
German subsidiaries, which were disposed of during 1995, sales for the 
quarter ended June 30, 
1995 were $59,915,000.  International sales  represent 9.6% and 28.2% of 
total sales for the three 
months ended  June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  For  the six-month 
period ended  June 30, 
1996, net sales were $122,782,000 compared to net sales of  $127,912,000 
for the same period of 
1995, representing a 4.0%  decrease.  Excluding the former German 
subsidiaries, sales were 
$113,138,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  For the six months 
ended June 30, 1996, 
international sales decreased to $16,131,000 from $27,883,000 for the six 
months ended June 30, 
1995, representing a  42.1% decrease.  International sales from domestic 
subsidiaries represent 
13.1% and 21.8% of total net sales, for the six months ended June 30,  
1996 and 1995, 
respectively.  The decrease in international sales for the six months ended 
June 30, 1996 was due 
mainly to several large shipments to China during the second quarter of 
1995. 
 
	Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 increased to 
$15,305,000, from 
$14,011,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  The gross profit 
percentage for the three 
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was 24.2% and 19.9%, respectively.  
Gross profit for the 
six  months ended June 30, 1996 increased to $29,127,000 from  
$27,648,000 at June 30, 1995, a 
5.3% increase.  The gross profit percentage for the six months increased to 
23.7% at June 30, 
1996 from 21.6% at June 30, 1995.  The gross profit improvement is the 
result of a combination 
of several negative and positive factors.  A negative impact was generated 
by reduced volume in 
one subsidiary, primarily from reduced international sales, and an 
intentional reduction in 
production volume while increasing sales to improve inventory turns.  The 
gross margin was 
affected positively by a very profitable job, realization of benefits of 
consolidation of facilities and 
prior year capital expenditures, reduction of sales of units with negative 
gross margins, and the 
sale of the German operations which had low gross margins.
 
	Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the second 
quarter of 1996 were 
$11,414,000 or 18.1% of net sales, compared to  $10,888,000 or 15.5% of 
net sales for the same 
period of 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, selling, 
general and 
administrative expenses were  $20,412,000 or 16.6% of net sales and 
$20,396,000 or 15.9% of net  
sales, respectively.  Significant increases in selling, general and 
administrative expenses in 1996 
are primarily due to increased research and development, the loss on 
repossession of an asphalt 
plant sold to a German customer, and legal expenses (see "Contingencies") 
as well as increased 
selling salaries and Con-Expo exhibition expenses.
 
	Interest expense decreased to $341,000 for the quarter ended  
June 30, 1996 from 
$605,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  Interest expense as a 
percentage of net sales 
decreased to .5% for the  quarter ended June 30, 1996 from .9% for the 
same period of 1995. The 
decrease in interest expense for the second quarter of 1996 is attributable 
to decreased usage of the 
Company's revolving line of credit.  Interest expense for  the six months 
ended June 30, 1996 and 
1995 was $623,000 and  $1,072,000, respectively.  Interest for the six 
months ended June 30, 
1995 included $266,000 of expense related to the former German 
operations, while the remainder 
of the decrease relates to decreased usage of the Company's revolving line 
of credit. 

	Other income, net of other expense was a net expense of  $8,000, 
or 0.01% of  net sales 
for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, compared to other income, net of 
expense of $4,623,000, or 
6.6% of net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  Included in other 
income, net of expense for the quarter ended   June 30, 1995 is a pre-tax gain
 and related other income from the sale of 
Wibau-Astec of  approximately $4,220,000.  Other income, net of expense 
was $223,000 for the 
six months ended  June 30, 1996 compared to other income, net of expense 
$5,166,000 for the six 
months ended  June 30, 1995. Excluding the former German operations, 
other income, net of 
expense was approximately $595,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
 
	Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, was $2,245,000 
or $.22 per share 
compared to net income of $4,730,000 or $.47 per share for the quarter 
ended June 30, 1995.  
Excluding the results of the Company's former German subsidiaries, net 
income for the quarter 
ended June 30, 1995 was $2,193,000 or $.22 per share.  Net income for the 
six months ended June 
30, 1996 was $5,071,000 or $.50 per share compared to net income of 
$7,246,000 or $.72 per 
share for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  Excluding the former 
German subsidiaries, net 
income for the six  months ended June 30, 1995 was $5,203,000 or $.52 
per share.

	Backlog at June 30, 1996 was $28,623,000 compared to 
$39,555,000 at June 30, 1995.  
The backlog at June 30, 1995 excludes amounts from the former German 
operations.  The 
decrease in the backlog from 1995 to 1996 relates primarily to the decrease 
in international and 
soil remediation orders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 
 
	As of June 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of  
$69,307,000 compared to $67,806,000 at June 30, 1995. 

	Total short-term borrowings, including current maturities of  
long-term debt, were 
$2,194,000 at June 30, 1996.  Long-term debt less current maturities was 
$24,928,000 at June 30, 
1996. Debt outstanding  at June 30, 1996 consists of industrial revenue 
bonds issued in prior years 
to finance capital expenditures, short term notes payable and the 
outstanding balance on the  
revolving line of credit.  

	Capital expenditures in 1996, for plant expansion and for  further 
modernization of the 
Company's manufacturing processes, are  expected to approach 
$5,600,000.  The Company 
expects to finance  these expenditures using internally generated funds.  
Capital  expenditures at 
June 30, 1996 were $4,638,000. 
 
	In June, 1996, an unsecured revolving line of credit for 
$22,000,000, which originally 
expired on June 30, 1997, was renewed, and the expiration date extended 
to June 30, 1999,  with 
The First National Bank of Chicago .  The outstanding balance  on the 
revolving line of credit at 
June 30, 1996 was $11,011,000. The  Company was in compliance with all 
financial covenants at June 30,  1996. 
 
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.  
	
	On October 28, 1993, the Company was 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 infringement of a 
patent on certain 
components used in the production of the Company's asphalt plant product 
line.  The  
case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of  Florida, 
Orlando Division, and 
went to trial on January 22, 1996.  On February 3, 1996, the jury returned 
a verdict in the 
Company's favor holding that Astec's Double Barrel drum mixer does not 
infringe the Gencor 
patent in question.  Judgment on that jury verdict was entered by the Court 
on February 5, 1996.  
Subsequently, Gencor appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for 
the Federal Circuit.  In 
early July, 1996, the Company and Gencor entered into a settlement of the 
case on appeal and two 
other lawsuits pending between the parties, one in the United States 
District Court for the Eastern 
District of Tennessee at Chattanooga in which the Company was suing 
Gencor for infringement of 
certain patents held by the Company which claims were originally the 
subject of a counterclaim 
by  the Company against Gencor in the Florida litigation which was settled 
in July; and the other 
involving a suit filed by Gencor against the Company in the United States 
District Court for the 
Middle District of Florida, Orlando Division, in January, 1996, seeking to 
recover certain 
expenses incurred by Gencor in connection with the earlier patent 
infringement case which was 
tried in January 1996.  Under the terms of the settlement, each of the 
pending cases was 
dismissed, with prejudice, with each party bearing its own costs.  No 
payments were made by 
either party to the other in connection with the settlement as a result of 
which all litigation 
between the Company and Gencor is now ended.
 
	In a personal injury and product liability case styled Juana Irma 
Suarez and Susana 
Median Guars v. Astec Industries, Inc., Barber-Greene Company, et al., in 
the District Court of 
Tarrant County Texas, 153rd Judicial District, Civil Action No. 153-
123018-89, after the first case 
ended in a mistrial, the jury in a second trial during the week of September 
19, 1994, returned a 
verdict against the Company for compensatory damages in the amount of 
$485,300, plus statutory 
prejudgment interest commonly allowed in such cases under Texas law.  
The Company appealed 
to the Texas Court of Appeals which on April 11, 1996 affirmed the 
judgment.  The final 
resolution was reached in May 1996, at which time the Company paid 
$830,000 to the plaintiffs.

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