	The balance sheet at June 30, 1993 has been derived from the 
audited financial statements at that date.  The accounting 
policies followed by the Company are described in the June 30, 
1993 financial statements which are contained in the Company's 
1993 Annual Report.  It is suggested that these financial 
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements 
and notes included in the 1993 Annual Report to stockholders.

2.	On January 18, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors authorized 
a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend 
payable on March 15, 1994 to stockholders of record March 1, 
1994.  All references in the financial statements to average 
number of shares outstanding and related prices, and per share 
amounts have been restated to reflect the split.

3.	On November 6, 1992, an indirect subsidiary of the Company 
acquired Intermes, S.p.A. ("Intermes") for an aggregate cash 
purchase price of U.S. $17,000,000 plus a contingent payment 
that will total U.S. $8,500,000, plus the assumption of 
$23,000,000 of debt.  $6,094,000 of this contingency was paid 
during the quarter ended September 30, 1993 with the remainder 
scheduled to be paid through 1997. Intermes, headquartered in 
Caldaro, Italy, manufactures and sells plumbing and heating 
valves and controls through wholesaler distribution.  In 
addition, Intermes partially owns I.S.I., S.p.A. ("ISI") located 
in Pergine Valsugana, Italy.  ISI manufactures butterfly valves 
and other valve products relating to municipal water markets.  
Intermes' sales for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 1993 
were approximately U.S.$42,800,000.

<PAGE>
	On May 18, 1993, the Company acquired Edward Barber (UK) Limited 
("EBCO").  Headquartered in Tottenham, London,  EBCO 
manufactures and sells valves, meter boxes, and accessories to 
the municipal water market.  Sales of EBCO for the twelve months 
ended December 31, 1992 were approximately U.S.$11,500,000.  
EBCO, which was founded in 1908, also operates a non-ferrous 
foundry operation in nearby Willesden.

4.	Effective July 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 106 "Employers' 
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions". 
SFAS No. 106 requires that the projected future cost of 
providing postretirement benefits, such as health care and life 
insurance, be recognized on an accrual basis as employees render 
service instead of when benefits are paid.  The extent of these 
types of benefits provided by the Company is limited to one of 
its subsidiaries acquired on September 30, 1991.  Based on the 
acquisition date of this subsidiary and the adoption date of 
July 1, 1993, the Company is required under the Statement to 
account for the projected liability for these benefits on a 
prospective basis and has elected to adjust its purchase price 
allocation for the acquisition.  Accordingly, the Company has 
recorded a liability of $2,087,000 and a corresponding increase 
to goodwill and related deferred tax asset.  The effect of the 
adoption of SFAS 106 on operating results from the date of 
acquisition to June 30, 1993 was immaterial.

5.	Effective July 1, 1992, the Company changed its method of 
accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the 
liability method required by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for 
Income Taxes".  As permitted under the new rules, prior years' 
financial statements have not been restated.  The cumulative 
effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 as of July 1, 1992 was to 
decrease net income by $3,132,000, for the fiscal year ended 
June 30, 1993.

<PAGE>
6.	The Company is currently a party to or otherwise involved with 
various administrative or legal proceedings under federal, state 
or local environmental laws or regulations involving a number of 
sites, in some cases as a participant in a group of potentially 
responsible parties.  Four of these sites, the Sharkey and Combe 
Landfills in New Jersey, the San Gabriel Valley/El Monte, 
California water basin matter, and the Jack's Creek/Sitkin 
Smelting Superfund site in Pennsylvania, are listed on the 
National Priorities List.  With respect to the Sharkey Landfill, 
the Company has been allocated .75% of the remediation costs, an 
amount which is not material to the Company.  Based on recent 
developments, the Company elected not to enter into the de 
minimis settlement proposal and has instead decided to 
participate in the remediation as a participating party.  No 
allocations have been made to date with respect to the Combe 
Landfill or San Gabriel Valley sites.  While a formal allocation 
has not been completed with respect to the Jack's Creek site, 
the draft volumetric ranking allocated a .2847% share of the 
total weight to the Company, which the Company believes should 
entitle it to participate as a de minimis party.  With respect 
to the Combe Landfill, the Company is one of approximately 30 
potentially responsible parties.  The Company and all other 
PRP's recently received a Supplemental Directive from the New 
Jersey Department of Environmental Protection & Energy seeking 
to recover approximately $9 million in the aggregate for the 
operation, maintenance, and monitoring of the implemented 
remedial action taken to date in connection with the Combe 
Landfill North site.  

	Given the number of parties involved in most environmental 
sites, the multiplicity of possible solutions, the evolving 
technology and the years of remedial activity required, it is 
difficult to estimate with certainty the total cost of 
remediation, the timing and extent of remedial actions which may 
be required, and the amount of liability, if any,  of the 
Company alone or in relation to that of other responsible 
parties.  Based on facts presently known to it, the Company does 
not believe that the outcome of these proceedings will have a 
material adverse effect on its financial condition.

<PAGE>
	The Company has established balance sheet accruals which it 
currently believes are adequate in light of the potential 
exposure of pending and threatened environmental litigation and 
proceedings of which it has knowledge.  In this regard, with 
respect to certain of these matters, the Company has resort 
either to some degree of insurance coverage or indemnifications 
from third parties which are expected to defray to some extent 
the effect thereof.  With respect to insurance, coverage of some 
of these claims has been disputed by the carriers based on 
standard reservations and, therefore, recovery may be somewhat 
questionable, a factor which has been considered in the 
Company's evaluation of these matters.  Although difficult to 
quantify based on the complexity of the issues and the 
limitation on available information, the Company believes that 
its accruals for the estimated costs associated with such 
matters adequately provide for the Company's estimated 
foreseeable liability for these sites, however, given the nature 
and scope of the Company's manufacturing operations, there can 
be no assurance that the Company will not become subject to 
other environmental proceedings and liabilities in the future.


            WATTS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Results of Operations 
Quarter Ended March 31, 1994 Compared to
Quarter Ended March 31, 1993

	Net sales increased $13,768,000 (11.5%) to $133,532,000.  This 
increase was attributable to the inclusion of the net sales of 
acquired companies and increased unit shipments of certain product 
lines.  The net sales of Edward Barber Company ("EBCO") acquired in 
May 1993, and Ancon Products, Inc. ("Ancon") acquired in July 1993  
represented approximately 40% of the increase. The Company had 
increased unit shipments of water plumbing and heating valves, oil 
and gas valves, as well as decreased unit shipments of water safety 
and flow control valves and aerospace/military valves.  While the 
Company believes this decrease in aerospace/military valves to be a 
long-term situation, the Company also believes there will be no 
further material deterioration in this market in the foreseeable 
future.  The Company intends to maintain its strategy of seeking 
acquisition opportunities as well as developing its international 
sales to achieve sales growth. 

	Gross profit increased $5,936,000 (13.3%) to $50,691,000 and 
increased as a percentage of net sales from 37.4% to 38.0%.  This 
increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to an improved 
sales mix, increased absorption of fixed expenses in the  
manufacturing plants associated with the increased level of 
production and sales, and decreased costs of bronze ingot.

	Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 
$1,735,000 (6.0%) to $30,818,000 and decreased as a percentage of 
sales from 24.3% to 23.1%. This increased spending is primarily 
attributable to the inclusion of the expenses of acquired companies 
discussed above, and increased commissions associated with the higher 
sales volume.  These increased expenses were partially offset by 
reduced spending at several subsidiaries as a result of downsizing 
programs implemented during fiscal year 1993. 

	Interest income decreased $509,000 (42.8%) to $680,000.  This 
decrease is primarily attributable to the decreased levels of cash 
and short-term investments.  Interest expense decreased $269,000 
(11.1%) to $2,161,000.  This decrease is attributable to the 
decreased levels of long-term debt.

	Earnings before income taxes increased $3,653,000 (25.3%) to 
$18,071,000. Net earnings increased $2,473,000 (28.9%) to 
$11,040,000.

<PAGE>  
	The weighted average number of common shares outstanding on 
March 31, 1994, after giving effect for the 2-for-1 stock split, 
decreased to 29,756,414 from 30,116,380 for primary earnings per 
share.  This decrease is the result of the repurchase by the Company 
of 685,400 shares of Class A Common Stock purchased during the first 
quarter of the fiscal year.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per 
share were $.37 for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 compared to $.28 
for the quarter ended March 31, 1993.


Nine Months Ended March 31, 1994 Compared to
Nine Months Ended March 31, 1993

	Net sales increased $48,558,000 (14.1%) to $391,847,000.  This 
increase is primarily attributable to the inclusion of the net sales 
of acquired companies.  The net sales of Intermes acquired in 
November 1992, EBCO, and Ancon represented approximately 60% of the 
increase.  The Company had increased unit shipments of water plumbing 
and heating valves, oil and gas valves, and increased international 
sales, as well as decreased unit shipments of water safety and flow 
control valves and aerospace/military valves.  

	Gross profit increased $19,465,000 (15.0%) to $149,305,000 and 
increased as a percentage of sales from 37.8% to 38.1%.  This 
increase is primarily attributable to an improved sales mix, improved 
manufacturing performance, and decreased costs of bronze ingot.  

	Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 
$4,013,000 (4.6%) to $91,175,000. The Company recorded $7,000,000 of 
unusual charges in the quarter ended December 31, 1992 for 
environmental matters and costs associated with the downsizing and 
restructuring of certain acquired companies. Selling, general and 
administrative expenses would have increased $11,013,000 (13.7%) 
without the $7,000,000 of unusual charges in the period ended 
December 31, 1992.  This increase is primarily attributable to the 
inclusion of the expenses of acquired companies and increased 
commissions associated with the higher sales volume.  These increases 
were partially offset by decreased spending at several subsidiaries 
as a result of downsizing programs implemented during last fiscal 
year.

	The Company from time to time is involved with environmental 
proceedings and incurs costs on an ongoing basis related to 
environmental matters.  See Note 5 to Notes of Condensed Consolidated 
Financial Statements for further discussion.

<PAGE>
	Interest income decreased $1,565,000 (41.5%) to $2,205,000 due 
to decreased levels of cash and short-term investments.

	Earnings before income taxes and unusual charges increased 
$6,760,000 (14.8%) to $52,531,000.  Net earnings before unusual 
charges and the cumulative effect of the change in accounting method 
due to the implementation of SFAS No. 109 as described in Footnote 4 
increased $4,291,000 (15.4%) to $32,125,000.

	The weighted average number of common shares outstanding on 
March 31, 1994 decreased to 29,676,036 from 30,104,182 for primary 
earnings per share. This decrease is the result of the purchase by 
the Company of 685,400 shares of Class A Common Stock during the 
current fiscal year.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per share  
were $1.08 for the nine months ended March 31, 1994 compared to $.92 
before unusual charges and the cumulative effect of the accounting 
change in accounting method for the nine months ended March 31, 1993.

	The following table illustrates the impact of unusual charges 
and the accounting change on earnings per share for the nine months 
ended March 31st:

                                        									1994		1993

Liquidity and Capital Resources

	During the nine months ended March 31, 1994, the Company 
repurchased 685,400 shares of its Class A Common Stock through open 
market repurchases for an aggregate price of $12,064,000.  The 
Company's repurchase program is now complete.  A subsidiary of the 
Company purchased Ancon Products, Inc. located in Scarborough, 
Ontario, Canada.  Ancon manufactures a wide range of floor and roof 
drains, intercepters, backwater valves, yard hydrants, and stainless 
and carbon steel specialty products used primarily in commercial and 
industrial construction applications.  The Company also purchased 
Enpoco Canada, Ltd., a manufacturer of drains located in Ontario, 
Canada. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was 
U.S.$4,783,000.  The Company also repaid $2,018,000 of debt acquired 
with one of the companies. The Company made contingent payments of 
$6,094,000 as part of the Intermes acquisition. The Company also 
spent $12,722,000 on capital expenditures, primarily manufacturing 
machinery and equipment, as part of its current fiscal year budget of 
$22,000,000.

<PAGE>
	The principal sources of funds to finance these acquisitions, 
capital expenditures, debt repayments and stock repurchases were the 
issuance by the Company on November 26, 1991 of $75,000,000 aggregate 
principal amount of its 8.375% Notes Due 2003 and funds provided from 
operations.

	The change in foreign exchange rates since June 30, 1993 did not 
have a material impact on the results of operations or the financial 
condition of the Company.

	Working capital at March 31, 1994 was $237,907,000 compared to 
$222,652,000 at June 30, 1993.  Cash and short-term investments were 
$66,342,000 at March 31, 1994 compared to $83,135,000 at June 30, 
1993. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 4.1 to 1 
at March 31, 1994 compared to 3.8 to 1 at June 30, 1993.   Debt as a 
percentage of capital employed was 22.3% at March 31, 1994 compared 
to 23.7% at June 30, 1993.

   	The Company anticipates that funds provided from operations will 
be sufficient to meet operating requirements and anticipated capital 
expenditures for at least the next 24 months.

Item 5.	Other Information

	On January 18, 1994, the Board of Directors of the 
Corporation declared a two-for-one stock split of the 
Corporation's outstanding Class A Common Stock, par value 
$.10 per share, and Class B Common Stock, par value $.10 
per share, to be effected in the form of a stock dividend 
equal to one share of Class A Common Stock for each share 
of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the record date, and 
one share of Class B Common Stock for each share of Class B 
Common Stock outstanding on the record date, all such 
shares to be fully paid and nonassessable.  The stock 
dividend was payable on March 15, 1994 to holders of Class 
A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of record as of the 
close of business on March 1, 1994.  Upon the effectiveness 
of such dividend, there shall be designated as additional 
capital of the Corporation an amount equal to the aggregate 
par value of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B 
Common Stock of the Corporation being declared as a 
dividend.

	Upon the effectiveness of such stock dividend, the 
Corporation shall increase by 100% the number of shares of 
Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance in connection 
with, and decrease by 50% the exercise price with respect 
to, any options heretofore granted and now outstanding and 
hereafter granted under the Corporation's 1986 Incentive 
Stock Option Plan, the 1989 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, 
and the 1991 Non-Employee Directors' Nonqualified Stock 
Option Plan, all in accordance with the anti-dilution 
provisions of each such Plan.  The number of shares of 
Class A Common Stock and the exercise price of each stock 
option granted prior to and outstanding as of the effective 
date of the dividend under the Corporation's 1986 Incentive 
Stock Option Plan, the 1989 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, 
or the 1991 Non-Employee Directors' Nonqualified Stock 
Option Plan, respectively, and each option agreement 
outstanding thereunder, shall be adjusted so that the 
number of shares that may be purchased upon exercise of any 
such option agreement will be increased by 100% and the 
exercise price will be decreased by 50% per share.
