                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    
                              JUNE 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 64% 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:

                                           6-30    12-31
                                           1995     1994
                      Raw Material          20%      16%
                      Work-in-Process       24%      23%
                      Finished Goods        56%      61%


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.  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 June 30, 1995 were a record $76,265,000 or 27.0%
higher than sales of $60,044,000 in the comparable second quarter of 1994 and
2.6% greater than sales in the recent first quarter of 1995.  Net sales for the
first six months of 1995 were $150,605,000, or 26.7% greater than sales of
$118,895,000 for the same period in 1994.

The recent 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 10.0% of the sales increase compared to the first
half of 1994.  The remaining 16.7% sales increase can be attributed to increased
order levels in both the Power Transmission Group and the Cutting Tool Group. 
In addition, selective product price increases have been made in response to
increased costs being received from suppliers of raw material and component
parts.

Gross profit margins increased to 29.1% of sales as compared to 28.9% in the
comparable second quarter of 1994 and 28.5% in the recent first quarter of 1995.
For the first six months of 1995, gross profit margins were 28.8% of sales as
compared to 28.4% for the same period last year.

Despite higher sales, operating expenses were reduced in the second quarter from
the prior first quarter's levels and were 10.9% of sales as compared to 13.4% in
the second quarter of 1994 and 11.8% in the previous first quarter of 1995. 
Year-to-date operating expenses are 3.9% higher than 1994 expenses primarily due
to recent acquisitions, but on higher sales volumes, have declined to 11.4% of
sales in 1995 as compared to 13.9% in 1994 as these expenses are typically 
fixed.

Income from operations improved in the second quarter to 18.2% of sales compared
to 15.6% in the second quarter of 1994 and 16.6% in the first quarter of 1995. 
For the first half of 1995, income from operations increased almost three
percentage points to 17.4% of sales compared to 14.6% for the same period in
1994.

Interest expense declined during the second quarter compared to the recent first
quarter of 1995 due to the continued retirement of debt under the Company's Bank
Credit Agreement.  As of May 1995, the entire $9,853,000 debt used for the 
Velvet Drive Transmission acquisition on January 1, 1995 was retired.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------
Working capital increased to $59,975,000 as of June 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.  The current ratio was
2.6:1 in the second quarter, the same as it was in the first quarter of 1995. 
This compares to 2.5:1 as of last year end.  Available cash generated from the
business was used to retire $11,603,000 in long-term debt in the first half of
1995.

The reduction of long-term debt and corresponding increase in shareholders'
investment during the quarter resulted in long-term debt, as a percentage of
total capitalization, to be reduced to 3.5% as of June 30, 1995, down from 12.7%
as of December 31, 1994.  This provides the Company significant additional long-
term debt capacity which is typically required only for the purchase of
acquisitions.

The Company feels that additional internally generated growth can be financed
adequately by cash generated from operations and from its short-term credit
facilities.
