                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                              September 30, 1995


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed financial statements include the accounts of Regal-Beloit
Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested these statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.


2.  INVENTORIES

Cost for approximately 70% of the Company's inventory is determined using the
last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation method.  The approximate 
percentage distribution between major classes of inventories is as follows:

3.  ACQUISITION 

Effective January 1, 1995, the Company acquired selected net assets of the 
Marine and Industrial Transmission Division of Borg-Warner Automotive 
Transmission and Engine Components Corporation.  Late in 1994, the Company 
made an advance payment of $9,853,000 to cover the purchase of these net 
assets.  The final purchase price settlement for this  acquisition is expected 
to be slightly lower than the advance payment.

This acquisition has been renamed the Velvet Drive Transmission Division of
Regal-Beloit Corporation.  This Division produces both marine and industrial
transmissions.  The marine transmissions are used in boats with a horsepower
range up to 500 horsepower for gasoline engines and up to 250 horsepower for
diesel engines.  The industrial transmissions are used in applications such as
heavy-duty, all-terrain forklifts and specialty vehicles which include airport
towmotors for baggage handling and mining personnel carriers.

4.  DISCLOSURES

In the opinion of Management, all adjustments which were necessary for a fair
statement of the results of the interim periods have been included in the
preceding financial statements.  These adjustments were considered to be
recurring in nature and there were no adjustments other than normal recurring
adjustments made to these statements for the periods reported.  However, the
results of operations for the quarter are not necessarily indicative of results
to be expected for the year.  Certain items, such as income taxes, LIFO 
charges, profit sharing expenses and various other accruals, are included in 
these statements based on estimates for the entire year.


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

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 were $71,551,000, or 16.9%
higher than sales of $61,185,000 in the comparable third quarter of 1994, but
6.2% lower than sales in the recent second quarter of 1995.  Net sales for the
first nine months of 1995 were $222,156,000 representing a 23.4% increase over
sales of $180,080,000 for the same period in 1994.

The Velvet Drive Transmission acquisition on January 1, 1995 and the 
acquisition of Costruzioni Meccaniche Legnanesi, S.r.L. of Legnano, Italy in 
December 1994 accounted for 12.6% of the sales increase compared to the first 
nine months of 1994.  The remaining 10.8% sales increase can be attributed to 
increased order levels in both the Power Transmission Group and the Cutting 
Tool Group along with selective price increases being in effect for the entire 
quarter.

Net sales in the third quarter were lower than those of the second quarter
primarily due to our customers' traditional vacation shutdowns and our own
employees taking vacations when additional help was virtually unavailable due 
to a nation-wide skilled labor shortage.  In addition, adverse weather 
conditions in the Midwest created several power outages, hampered our equipment
performance and reduced our productivity.

The third quarter gross profit margin increased to 30.3% of sales as compared 
to 29.4% in the third quarter of 1994 and 29.1% in the recent second quarter 
of 1995.  Despite the drop in sales from second quarter levels, the gross 
profit margin percentage improved due to selling price increases being in 
effect for a full quarter and from the favorable results of physical 
inventories which increased the gross profit percentage by 0.4% in the 
quarter.  For the first  nine months of 1995, gross profit margins were 29.3% 
of sales compared to 28.8% for the same period last year.

Third quarter operating expenses were 6.2% lower than the prior second quarter
levels.  These reduced operating expenses have occurred throughout the Company
and were not significantly attributable to any single cause.  With the lower
sales volume during the third quarter, operating expenses were 11.0% of net 
sales as compared to 10.9% in the recent second quarter of 1995 and 12.7% in 
the comparable third quarter of 1994.  Year-to-date operating expenses are 3.0%
higher than 1994 expenses primarily due to recent acquisitions, but on higher
sales volumes, have declined to 11.3% of sales in 1995 as compared to 13.5% in
1994.

Income from operations improved in the third quarter to 19.3% of sales compared
to 16.7% in the third quarter of 1994 and 18.2% in the second quarter of 1995. 
For the first nine months of the year, income from operations was 18.0% of 
sales compared to 15.3% in the same period of 1994.

Interest expense continued to decline during the quarter due to a lower debt
balance throughout the quarter.  The entire $9,853,000 of debt used for the
Velvet Drive Transmission acquisition on January 1, 1995 had already been 
retired during the second quarter of 1995.




Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Working capital increased to $67,406,000 as of September 30, 1995 as compared to
$55,115,000 as of December 31, 1994.  The majority of this increase can be
attributed to the Velvet Drive Transmission acquisition.  Accordingly, the
current ratio has increased from 2.5:1 at December 31, 1994 to 2.9:1 as of
September 30, 1995.

Long-term debt as a percentage of total capital was reduced to 2.9% as of
September 30, 1995, from 12.7% as of December 31, 1994, and allows the Company
the potential for significant long-term indebtedness if needed.

It is believed that the Company's existing credit facilities combined with
working capital generated from operations will continue to be sufficient to 
meet operating and growth needs in the foreseeable future.
