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 December 31, 
1994, the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Earnings for the three and six 
months ended December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, and the Condensed 
Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows for the six months ended December 31, 
1994 and December 31, 1993. 

	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 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 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, one or more wholley owned subsidiaries 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.

	The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions and the establishment of 
the joint venture totaled $66,400,000.

4.	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.  While a 
formal allocation has not been completed with respect to the Jack's Creek 
site, the draft volumetric ranking allocated a .30446% share of the total 
weight to the Company, which the Company believes should entitle it to 
participate 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, 
however, with respect to the San Gabriel Valley/El Monte, California site, the 
Company is currently unable to estimate the potential exposure 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.

<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 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.

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


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

	Net sales increased $31,290,000 (24.5%) to $159,024,000.  Of this increase, 
7% was attributable to internal growth while the remainder was due to the 
inclusion of the net sales of acquired companies and the new Chinese joint 
venture.  These acquisitions included Jameco Industries, Inc. ("Jameco") 
acquired in July 1994 and located in New York, Pibiviesse S.p.A. ("PBVS") 
acquired in November 1994 and located in Italy, and  Enpoco Canada, Ltd. 
("Enpoco") acquired in November 1993 and located in Canada. The Company 
established a joint venture in China in August of 1994.  The Company had 
increased unit shipments of plumbing and heating valves, water quality valves, 
and oil and gas valves.   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 $8,187,000 (16.6%) to $57,529,000 and decreased as 
a percentage of net sales from 38.6% to 36.2%.  This decreased percentage was 
primarily attributable to the inclusion of Jameco, which currently operates 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 $5,956,000 (19.7%) 
to $36,219,000.  This increase is primarily attributable to the inclusion of 
the expenses of Jameco and other acquired companies discussed in Note 3 above, 
increased selling expenses associated with international sales, and commissions 
associated with the increased sales volumes.

	Interest income decreased $347,000 (47.8%) to $380,000 due to decreased 
levels of cash and short-term investments partially offset by higher rates of 
return experienced on short term investments.

	Interest expense increased $285,000 (12.9%) to $2,489,000.  This increase 
is attributable to the increased levels of debt incurred in association with 
the acquisitions discussed in Note 3 above.
 
	Net earnings increased $617,000 (5.9%) to $11,165,000.

	The change in foreign exchange rates had an immaterial impact on the 
results of operations.
  
	The weighted average number of common shares outstanding on December 
31, 1994, after giving effect to the two-for-one stock split described in 
Note 2 above, increased to 29,695,522 from 29,632,927 for primary earnings per 
share.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per share were  $ .38 for the 
quarter ended December  31, 1994 compared to $ .36 for the quarter ended 
December 31, 1993.

as a percentage of net sales from 38.2% to 36.3%.  This decreased percentage 
was primarily attributable to the inclusion of Jameco, which currently operates 
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 $10,711,000 (17.8%) 
to $71,068,000.  This increase is primarily attributable to the inclusion of 
the expenses of Jameco and other acquired companies discussed in Note 3 above, 
increased selling expenses associated with international sales, and commissions 
associated with the increased sales volumes.

	Interest income decreased $395,000 (25.9%) to $1,130,000 due to 
decreased levels of cash and short-term investments partially offset by higher 
rates of return experienced on short term investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

	During the six months ended December 31, 1994, 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.  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.

 The aggregate purchase price for these investments was $66,400,000 plus 
acquired debt of $26,000,000.   The Company also repaid $3,277,000 of debt 
acquired with one of the companies. 

The Company also spent $11,944,000 on capital expenditures, primarily 
manufacturing machinery and equipment.  The Company is budgeting $27,000,000 
for capital expenditures in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1995, as part of 
its commitment to continuously improve its manufacturing capabilities. 

	Working capital at December 31, 1994 was $228,763,000 compared to 
$246,531,000 at June 30, 1994.  Cash and short-term investments were 
$18,378,000 at December 31, 1994 compared to $65,000,000 at June 30, 1994. 
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.0 to 1 at December 31, 
1994 compared to 4.3 to 1 at June 30, 1994.   Debt as a percentage of total 
capital employed was 25.7% at December  31, 1994 compared to 21.4% at June 30, 
1994.

	Non-current Other Liabilities increased $8,818,000 (49%) to $17,933,000.  
This increase is primarily due to the inclusion of the minority interest 
component of the Chinese joint venture.

	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 will be utilized to fund acquisitions, 
support future working capital requirements and general corporate purposes.   
During the quarter, the Company borrowed $13,000,000 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.  

<PAGE>

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 4 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.

Item 5.	Other Information

	On January 18, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a 
two-for-one stock split of the Company'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 Company an amount equal 
to the aggregate par value of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B 
Common Stock of the Company being declared as a dividend.

	Upon the effectiveness of such stock dividend, the Company 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

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
