           WATTS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
    Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                         (Unaudited)
                              
1.   In the  opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  contain  all
necessary adjustments, consisting only of adjustments  of  a
normal recurring nature, to present fairly Watts Industries,
Inc.'s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March  31,
1995, the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Earnings  for
the three and nine months ended March 31, 1995 and March 31,
1994,  and  the  Condensed Statements of  Consolidated  Cash
Flows for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 and March 31,
1994.

     The balance sheet at June 30, 1994 has been derived from the
audited  financial statements at that date.  The  accounting
policies  followed by the Company are described in the  June
30,  1994  financial statements which are contained  in  the
Company's  1994 Annual Report.  It is suggested  that  these
financial  statements  be  read  in  conjunction  with   the
financial  statements and notes included in the 1994  Annual
Report to Stockholders.

2.   On July 28, 1994,  a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
purchased  Jameco Industries, Inc. ("Jameco") of  Wyandanch,
New  York.  Jameco  is a manufacturer of metal  and  plastic
water  supply  products, including valves, tubular  products
and  sink  strainers, that are sold primarily to residential
construction and home repair and remodeling markets  in  the
United  States.   Jameco  had  net  sales  of  approximately
$56,000,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 1994.

     In August of 1994,  a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
entered  into a joint venture with Tanggu Valve  Company  in
Tianjin,   Peoples   Republic  of  China.    The   Company's
investment represented a 60% interest in the joint venture.

     On November 18, 1994, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
purchased Pibiviesse S.p.A. ("PBVS")  located in Mazzo Di
Rho, Italy.  PBVS manufactures a complete range of trunnion
mounted ball valves with manufacturing capabilities up
through 60 inch diameter and inclusive of Class 2500
pressure ratings to meet the demanding requirements of
international pipeline projects.  PBVS had net sales of
approximately $34,000,000 for the twelve months ended June
30, 1994.

     In August and December of 1994, a subsidiary of the Company
acquired two product lines.  One product line is a line of
cryogenic valves used in industrial applications.  The other
product line is check and relief valves used in aerospace
and military applications.

     On March 1, 1995, a subsidiary of the Company purchased Anderson-
Barrows Metals Corporation of Palmdale, California.
Anderson-Barrows is a manufacturer of compression and flare
fittings, plastic tubing and braided metal hose connectors
which are sold primarily to the domestic residential
construction and home repair and remodeling markets.
Anderson-Barrows had net sales of approximately  $21,000,000
for the twelve months ended December 31, 1994.

     The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions and the
establishment of the joint venture totaled $84,600,000.

3.       Certain of the Company's operations generate solid and
hazardous  wastes,  which  are  disposed  of  elsewhere   by
arrangement  with the owners or operators of disposal  sites
or  with  transporters of such waste.  The Company's foundry
and  other operations are subject to various federal,  state
and  local  laws  and regulations relating to  environmental
quality.    Compliance  with  these  laws  and   regulations
requires  the  Company  to incur expenses  and  monitor  its
operations on an ongoing  basis.  The Company cannot predict
the   effect   of   future  requirements  on   its   capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position  due  to  any
changes  in  either  federal, state or  local  environmental
laws, regulations or ordinances.

     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 certain developments,
the  Company  elected  not  to enter  into  the  de  minimis
settlement  proposal and 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. Recently, the EPA  has  formally
notified several entities that they have been identified  as
being  potentially responsible parties with respect  to  the
San Gabriel Valley site.  As the Company was not included in
this  group,  its potential involvement in  this  matter  is
uncertain at this time.  Whether, and to what extent, either
the  PRPs  named to date or the EPA will seek to expand  the
list of potentially responsible parties is also uncertain at
this  point.  With respect to the Jack's Creek  site,  a  de
minimis settlement proposal has recently been published  for
public  comment.   If adopted by the EPA  as  proposed,  the
Company  will be entitled to participate in this  settlement
as  a  de minimis party.  In addition to the foregoing,  the
Solvent  Recovery Service of New England site  and  the  Old
Southington landfill site, both in Connecticut, are  on  the
National  Priorities  List but, with  respect  thereto,  the
Company has resort to indemnification from third parties and
based   on  currently  available  information,  the  Company
believes it will be entitled to participate in a de  minimis
capacity.

     With respect to the Combe Landfill, the Company is one of
approximately  30  potentially  responsible  parties.    The
Company  and  all other PRP's have 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,  results  of   operations,   or   its
liquidity.   However,  with  respect  to  the  San   Gabriel
Valley/El  Monte, California site, the Company is  currently
unable  to estimate the potential exposure, if any,  because
the  process  of  determining  the  causes  and  extent   of
contamination,  the cost of remediation and  the  method  to
allocate  the cost among those ultimately determined  to  be
responsible is in a very early stage.

     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 is 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  which  may  be
material to the Company.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

Results of Operations
Quarter Ended March 31, 1995 Compared to
Quarter Ended March 31, 1994

     Net sales increased $40,854,000 (30.6%) to $174,386,000.  Of this
increase, $10,991,000 (8%) was attributable to internal
growth while the remainder was due to the inclusion of the
net sales of acquired companies and the Company's Chinese
joint venture.  These acquisitions principally included
Jameco Industries, Inc. ("Jameco") acquired in July 1994,
located in New York, Pibiviesse S.p.A. ("PBVS") acquired in
November 1994, located in Italy, and Anderson-Barrows Metals
Corporation ("Anderson-Barrows") acquired in March 1995,
located in California. The Company established a joint
venture in China in August of 1994.  The Company had
increased unit shipments of steam valves, municipal water
valves, and industrial valves. The Company had increased
sales in Europe of $4,500,000 of which approximately two
thirds of the increase was due to the strength of the
foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar.  The Company
intends to maintain its strategy of seeking acquisition
opportunities as well as expanding its existing market
position to achieve sales growth.

     Gross profit increased $11,155,000 (22%) to $61,846,000 and
decreased as a percentage of net sales from 38% to 35.5%.
This decreased percentage was primarily attributable to the
inclusion of acquired companies, which currently operate at
a lower gross margin than the rest of the Company.  Gross
profit was also adversely affected by increased raw
materials costs primarily in bronze ingot and brass rod.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7,826,000
(25.4%) to $38,644,000.  This increase is primarily
attributable to the inclusion of the expenses of acquired
companies discussed in Note 2 above, increased selling
expenses associated with international sales, and
commissions associated with the increased sales volumes.

     Interest income decreased $237,000 (38.4%) to $443,000 due to
decreased levels of cash and short-term investments which
were partially offset by higher rates of return experienced
on short term investments.

     Interest expense increased $842,000 (39%) to $3,003,000.  This
increase is attributable to the increased levels of debt
incurred in association with the acquisitions discussed in
Note 2 above.

     Net earnings increased $1,691,000 (15.3%) to $12,731,000.

     The change in foreign exchange rates had an immaterial impact on
the net results of operations.

     The weighted average number of common shares outstanding on March
31, 1995, decreased to 29,695,621 from 29,756,414 for
primary earnings per share.  Primary and fully diluted
earnings per share were  $ .43 for the quarter ended March
31, 1995 compared to $ .37 for the quarter ended March 31,
1994.



Nine Months Ended March 31, 1995 Compared to
Nine Months Ended March 31, 1994

     Net sales increased $94,240,000 (24.1%) to $486,087,000. Of this
increase, $30,335,000 (8%) was attributable to internal
growth while the remainder was due to the inclusion of the
net sales of acquired companies and the Company's Chinese
joint venture.  These acquisitions principally included Jameco
Industries, Inc. ("Jameco") acquired in July 1994, located
in New York, Pibiviesse S.p.A. ("PBVS") acquired in November
1994, located in Italy, and Anderson-Barrows Metals
Corporation ("Anderson-Barrows") acquired in March 1995,
located in California.  The Company established a joint
venture in China in August of 1994. The Company had
increased unit shipments of plumbing and heating valves,
industrial valves, steam valves and municipal water valves.
The Company had increased net sales in Europe of $8,900,000
of which approximately two thirds of the increase was due
to the strength of the foreign currencies versus the U.S.
dollar.    The Company intends to maintain its strategy of
seeking acquisition opportunities as well as expanding its
existing market position to achieve sales growth.

     Gross profit increased $25,753,000 (17.3%) to $175,058,000 and
decreased as a percentage of net sales from 38.1% to 36%.
This decreased percentage was primarily attributable to the
inclusion of acquired companies, which currently operate at
a lower gross margin than the rest of the Company.  Gross
profit was also adversely affected by increased raw
materials costs primarily in bronze ingot and brass rod.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$18,537,000 (20.3%) to $109,712,000.  This increase is
primarily attributable to the inclusion of the expenses of
acquired companies discussed in Note 2 above, increased
selling expenses associated with international sales, and
commissions associated with the increased sales volumes.

     Interest income decreased $632,000 (28.7%) to $1,573,000 due to
decreased levels of cash and short-term investments which
were partially offset by higher rates of return experienced
on short term investments.

     Interest expense increased $1,173,000 (17.4%) to $7,902,000.
This increase is attributable to the increased levels of
debt incurred in association with the acquisitions discussed
in Note 2 above.

     Net earnings increased $3,161,000 (9.8%) to $35,286,000.

     The change in foreign exchange rates had an immaterial impact on
the net results of operations.

     The weighted average number of common shares outstanding on March
31, 1995, increased to 29,696,511 from 29,676,036 for
primary earnings per share.  Primary and fully diluted
earnings per share were  $ 1.19 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1995 compared to $ 1.08 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1994.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the nine months ended March 31, 1995, the Company invested
in six acquisitions.  In July, 1994, a subsidiary of the
Company purchased Jameco Industries, Inc. located in
Wyandanch, New York.  Jameco is a  manufacturer of metal and
plastic water supply products, including valves, tubular
products and sink strainers that are sold primarily to
residential construction and home repair and remodeling
markets in the United States. Jameco had net sales of
approximately $56,000,000 for the twelve months ended June
30, 1994. In August of 1994, a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company entered into a joint venture with a valve
company in Tianjin, Peoples Republic of China.  The
Company's investment of $8,500,000 represented a 60%
interest in the joint venture. The joint venture immediately
purchased $3,500,000 of inventory from the minority partner
in accordance with the joint venture agreement.  The
remainder of the joint venture investment of $5,000,000 will
be utilized for working capital and fixed asset purchases.
In November, 1994, a subsidiary of the Company purchased
Pibiviesse S.p.A. located in Mazzo Di Rho, Italy.  PBVS is a
manufacturer of oil and gas valves. PBVS had net sales of
approximately $34,000,000 for the twelve months ended June
30, 1994.  In August and December of 1994, a subsidiary of
the Company acquired two product lines.  One product line is
a line of cryogenic valves used in industrial applications.
The other product line is check and relief valves used in
aerospace and military applications. In March of 1995, a
subsidiary of the Company purchased Anderson-Barrows Metals
Corporation located in Palmdale, California.  Anderson
Barrows is a manufacturer of compression and flare fittings,
plastic tubing and braided metal hose connectors which are
sold primarily to the domestic residential construction and
home repair and remodeling markets. Anderson-Barrows had net
sales of approximately  $21,000,000 for the twelve months
ended December 31, 1994.

     The aggregate purchase price for these investments was
$84,600,000 plus acquired debt of $31,200,000.   The Company
also repaid $13,709,000 of debt acquired with two of the
companies.

     During the nine months ended March 31, 1995, the Company spent
$20,257,000  on capital expenditures, primarily
manufacturing machinery and equipment, as part of its
commitment to continuously improve its manufacturing
capabilities.

     Working capital at March 31, 1995 was $238,817,000 compared to
$246,531,000 at June 30, 1994.  Cash and short-term
investments were $10,848,000 at March 31, 1995 compared to
$65,000,000 at June 30, 1994. The ratio of current assets to
current liabilities was 2.9 to 1 at March 31, 1995 compared
to 4.3 to 1 at June 30, 1994.   Debt as a percentage of
total capital employed was 26.8% at March  31, 1994 compared
to 21.4% at June 30, 1994.

     Other Long Term Liabilities increased $11,863,000 (130%) to
$20,978,000.  This increase is primarily due to the
inclusion of the minority interest component of the Chinese
joint venture and liabilities associated with the Anderson-
Barrows acquisition.

     In order to support the Company's acquisition program, working
capital requirements, and for general corporate purposes,
the Company entered into a five-year  commitment for an
unsecured line of credit for $125,000,000. Borrowings under
this credit line have been, and will be utilized to fund
acquisitions, support future working capital requirements
and general corporate purposes.   During the nine months
ended March 31, 1995, the Company had net borrowings of
$28,500,000 under this credit facility.

     The Company from time to time is involved with environmental
proceedings and incurs costs on an ongoing basis related to
environmental matters. The Company has been or expects to be
named a potentially responsible party with respect to
currently identified contaminated sites, which are in
various stages of the remediation process.  The Company has
evaluated its potential exposure based on all currently
available information and has recorded its estimate of its
liability for environmental matters.  The ultimate outcome
of these environmental matters cannot be determined.  The
Company currently anticipates that it will not incur
significant expenditures in fiscal 1995 in connection with
any of these environmentally contaminated sites.  Please see
Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

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