              NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           (dollars in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

Basis of Presentation.  The accompanying condensed financial statements
include the accounts of Gardner Denver, Inc. ("Gardner Denver" or the
"Company") and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated.  Investments in entities
in which the Company has twenty to fifty percent ownership are accounted
for by the equity method.

The financial information presented as of any date other than December
31 has been prepared from the books and records without audit.  The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete statements.  In the opinion
of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial
statements, have been included.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
incorporated by reference in Gardner Denver's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1998.

The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2.  RECENT ACQUISITIONS.

On January 5, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
and assumed certain agreed upon liabilities of Geological Equipment
Corporation ("Geoquip"), located in Fort Worth, Texas for approximately
$12.0 million.  The Company also paid approximately $2.0 million in cash
to acquire patents, previously owned by Geoquip's shareholders, for
products manufactured by Geoquip.  The purchase price for the assets was
paid in cash ($1.5 million) and 430,695 shares of Gardner Denver common
stock. The purchase price was allocated to assets and liabilities based
on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition and resulted
in cost in excess of net assets acquired of $8.3 million.

On January 29, 1998, the Company purchased substantially all of the
assets and assumed certain agreed upon liabilities of Champion Pneumatic
Machinery Company, Inc. ("Champion"), located in Princeton, Illinois, a
subsidiary of CRL Industries, Inc., for approximately $23.5 million.
The purchase price was allocated to assets and liabilities based on
their respective fair values at the date of acquisition and resulted in
cost in excess of net assets acquired of $16.8 million.

On March 9, 1998, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets
and assumed certain agreed upon liabilities of the Wittig Division of
Mannesmann Demag A.G. ("Wittig") for approximately $10.5 million.
Wittig is located in Schopfheim, Germany.  The purchase price

                               - 5 -


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

was allocated to assets and liabilities based on their respective fair
values at the date of acquisition and resulted in cost in excess of net
assets acquired of $4.1 million.

On April 1, 1999, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of the Allen-
Stuart Equipment Company ("Allen-Stuart") and on April 5, 1999, the
Company acquired 100% of the stock of Butterworth Jetting Systems, Inc.
("Butterworth").  Allen-Stuart, located in Houston, Texas, designs and
fabricates custom-engineered packages for blower and compressor
equipment in air and gas applications.  Allen-Stuart serves a wide
variety of industrial companies, including petrochemical, power
generation, oil and natural gas production and refining.  Butterworth,
also located in Houston, Texas, is a manufacturer of water jet pumps and
systems serving the industrial cleaning and maintenance market.
Applications in this market include runway and ship-hull cleaning,
concrete demolition and metal surface preparation.  The aggregate
purchase price for these acquisitions was approximately $17.5 million.
The purchase price of each acquisition was allocated to assets and
liabilities based on their respective fair values at the date of
acquisition and resulted in an aggregate excess of net assets acquired
of $10.7 million.

As a result of the stability of the product technology, markets and
customers associated with these acquisitions, the cost in excess
of net assets acquired for each acquisition is being amortized over 40
years using the straight-line method.

All acquisitions have been accounted for by the purchase method, and
accordingly, the results of operations of Geoquip, Champion, Wittig,
Allen-Stuart and Butterworth are included in the Company's Consolidated
Statement of Operations from the respective dates of acquisition.
Certain estimates of fair market value of assets received and
liabilities assumed were made with adjustments to each separate
company's historical financial statements.  The estimates and
adjustments for the acquisitions of Allen-Stuart and Butterworth have
not been finalized.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

    PERFORMANCE IN THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED WITH
                  THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

Revenues
Revenues decreased $18.1 million (17%) to $85.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999, compared to the same period of 1998.
Excluding incremental revenue from acquisitions which the Company
completed in April 1999, revenues decreased $22.9 million (22%) over the
same period of 1998.  See Note 2 to the Financial Statements for further
information on the Company's recent acquisitions.

For the three months ended June 30, 1999, revenues for the Compressed
Air Products segment increased $0.9 million (1%) to $79.0 million
compared to the same period of 1998.  Excluding incremental revenue from
acquisitions completed in April 1999, which contributed $4.8 million,
compressed air product revenues decreased $3.9 million (5%).  This
reduction was primarily related to declining industrial production in
the United States during the second half of 1998 which reduced orders
for compressor products.  Petroleum Products segment revenues decreased

<PAGE>

$19.0 million (75%) to $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999, compared to the same period of 1998.  This reduction was primarily
due to lower oil prices in the second half of 1998 which resulted in
lower orders and backlog for petroleum products in 1999.

Costs and Expenses
Gross margin (defined as sales less cost of sales excluding depreciation
and amortization) for the three months ended June 30, 1999 decreased
$4.7 million (14%) to $28.7 million from $33.4 million in the same
period of 1998.  Gross margin as a percentage of revenues (gross margin
percentage) increased to 33.6% in the three-month period of 1999 from
32.2% in the same period of 1998.  This increase in the gross margin
percentage was principally attributable to a change in sales mix,
combined with improved operating efficiencies at our new manufacturing
facility in Georgia.

Depreciation and amortization increased 5% to $3.4 million in the first
three months of 1999, compared with $3.2 million for the same period of
1998.  The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to
goodwill amortization associated with acquisitions and ongoing capital
expenditures.  For the three-month periods, depreciation and
amortization expense as a percentage of revenues increased to 4.0% in
1999 from 3.1% in 1998.  This percentage increase is due to the factors
noted above, combined with the effect of lower revenues.

Selling and administrative expenses increased in the three months of
1999 by 2% to $14.0 million from $13.7 million in the same period of
1998.  Incremental expenses of $0.9 million related to acquisitions were
offset by decreases in manpower levels and discretionary spending.
Excluding the incremental impact of acquisitions, selling and
administrative expenses decreased by 5% from the comparable 1998 period.
As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses for the
three-month periods increased to 16.4% in 1999 from 13.3% in 1998.  This
percentage increase is primarily due to the decrease in revenues and the
acquisitions referred to above which have higher selling and
administrative expenses relative to sales than the Company's existing
operations.

The Compressed Air Products segment generated operating margins (defined
as revenues, less cost of sales, depreciation and amortization, and
selling and administrative expenses excluding unallocated corporate
administrative expenses) of 14.8% for the three-month period ended June
30, 1999, an increase from 13.7% for the three-month period of 1998.
This improvement is due to manpower reductions, reduced discretionary
spending, improved operating efficiencies at our new manufacturing
facility in Georgia and other cost reduction efforts.  This improvement
was  partially offset by an increased allocation of shared costs since
the segment's revenues represent a greater percentage of the Company's
total revenues in 1999 as compared to 1998.

The Petroleum Products segment generated operating margins of 3.1% for
three-month period ended June 30, 1999, compared to 24.6% for the same
period in 1998.  This decline is primarily attributable to the negative
impact of decreased leverage of the segment's fixed and semi-fixed costs
over a lower revenue base, partially offset by manpower reductions,
reduced discretionary spending and other cost reduction efforts.

Interest expense increased $0.1 million in the three-month period of
1999 compared to the same period of 1998 due to higher average
borrowings in 1999.  The average interest rate was 6.0% for both three-
month periods ended 1999 and 1998.

Income before income taxes declined $5.2 million (35%) to $9.8 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to the same period of
1998. This decrease is primarily the result of lower revenues
discussed above.

Compared to 1998, the provision for income taxes decreased by $1.9
million to $3.8 million for the three months primarily as a result of
the decreased income before taxes.  The Company's effective tax rate for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 was 38.6%, compared to 38.3% in the
prior year period.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 decreased $3.2
million (35%) to $6.0 million ($0.39 diluted earnings per share),
compared to $9.2 million ($0.55 diluted earnings per share) for the same
period of 1998.  This reduction in net income is attributable to the
same factors that resulted in decreased income before taxes noted above.

    PERFORMANCE IN THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED WITH
                 THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

Revenues
Revenues decreased $37.7 million (19%) to $155.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, compared to the same period of 1998.
Excluding incremental revenue from acquisitions which the Company has
completed since late January 1998, revenues decreased $49.2 million
(25%) over the same period of 1998.  See Note 2 to the Financial
Statements for further information on the Company's recent acquisitions.

For the six months ended June 30, 1999, revenues for the Compressed Air
Products segment decreased $5.6 million (4%) to $142.6 million compared
to the same period of 1998.  Excluding incremental revenue from
acquisitions since late January 1998, which contributed $11.5 million,
compressed air product revenues decreased $17.1 million (12%).  This
reduction was primarily related to declining industrial production in
the United States during the second half of 1998 which reduced orders
for compressor products.  Petroleum Products segment revenues decreased
$32.1 million (71%) to $13.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999, compared to the same period of 1998.  This reduction was primarily
due to lower oil prices in the second half of 1998 which resulted in
lower orders and backlog for petroleum products in 1999.

Costs and Expenses
Gross margin (defined as sales less cost of sales excluding depreciation
and amortization) for the six months ended June 30, 1999 decreased $13.2
million (21%) to $50.5 million from $63.8 million in the same period of
1998.  Gross margin as a percentage of revenues (gross margin
percentage) decreased to 32.5% in the six-month period of 1999 from
33.0% in the same period of 1998.  This reduction in the gross margin
percentage was principally attributable to two factors.  First,
acquisitions completed since late January 1998 negatively affected the
gross margin percentage as these companies currently generate lower
gross margins than the Company's previously existing operations.
Second, the negative impact of decreased leverage of

                               - 10 -


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

production overhead costs over a lower revenue base was only partially
offset by cost reduction efforts and increased operating efficiencies at
our new manufacturing facility in Georgia.

Depreciation and amortization increased 13% to $6.9 million in the first
six months of 1999, compared with $6.1 million for the same period of
1998.  The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to
goodwill amortization associated with acquisitions and ongoing capital
expenditures.  For the six-month periods, depreciation and amortization
expense as a percentage of revenues increased to 4.4% in 1999 from 3.2%
in 1998.  This percentage increase is due to the factors noted above,
combined with the effect of lower revenues.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased in the six months of 1999
by 3% to $25.8 million from $26.7 million in the same period of 1998.
Incremental expenses of $2.4 million related to acquisitions were offset
by decreases in manpower levels and discretionary spending.  Excluding
the impact of acquisitions completed since late January 1998, selling
and administrative expenses decreased by more than 12% from the
comparable 1998 period.  As a percentage of revenues, selling and
administrative expenses for the six-month periods increased to 16.6% in
1999 from 13.8% in 1998.  This percentage increase is primarily due to
the decrease in revenues and the acquisitions referred to above, which
have higher selling and administrative expenses relative to sales than
the Company's existing operations.

The Compressed Air Products segment generated operating margins (defined
as revenues, less cost of sales, depreciation and amortization, and
selling and administrative expenses excluding unallocated corporate
administrative expenses) of 12.8% for the six-month period ended June
30, 1999, a decrease from 14.4% for the six-month period of 1998.  This
decline is due to the negative impact of decreased leverage of the
segment's fixed and semi-fixed costs over a lower revenue base and the
effect of newly acquired operations that currently generate lower
operating margins (after amortization of goodwill associated with the
acquisitions) than the Company's previously existing operations.  The
operating margin was also negatively impacted by an increased allocation
of shared costs since the segment's revenues represent a greater
percentage of the Company's total revenues in 1999 as compared to 1998.
Manpower reductions, reduced discretionary spending and other cost
reduction efforts partially offset these negative factors.

The Petroleum Products segment generated operating margins of 4.6% for
six-month period ended June 30, 1999, compared to 23.6% for the same
period in 1998.  This decline is primarily attributable to the negative
impact of decreased leverage of the segment's fixed and semi-fixed costs
over a lower revenue base, partially offset by manpower reductions,
reduced discretionary spending and other cost reduction efforts.

Interest expense increased $0.1 million for the six-month period of
1999, compared to the comparable period of 1998, due to higher average
borrowings in 1999, partially offset by lower average interest rates.
The average interest rate for the six-month period of 1999 was 5.8%,
compared to 6.2% for the same period of 1998.

Income before income taxes declined $13.2 million (47%) to $15.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to the same period of
1998. This decrease is primarily the result of lower revenues and
reduced gross margins discussed above.

                               - 11 -

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

Compared to 1998, the provision for income taxes decreased by $5.1
million to $5.8 million for the six month period, as a result of the
decreased income before taxes.  The Company's effective tax rate was
38.6% for the six month periods in both 1999 and 1998.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 decreased $8.1 million
(47%) to $9.2 million ($0.60 diluted earnings per share), compared to
$17.3 million ($1.04 diluted earnings per share) for the same period of
1998.  This reduction in net income is attributable to the same factors
that resulted in decreased income before taxes noted above.

Outlook
Demand for petroleum products is related to market expectations
concerning prices of oil and natural gas.  During the first quarter of
1999, orders for the Company's petroleum products reached their lowest
level of the previous twelve months as a result of the substantial
decline in the prices of oil and natural gas in 1998.  Orders for
petroleum products were $6.2 million in the second quarter, a decrease
of $16.4 million compared to the same period of 1998.  For the first six
months of 1999, petroleum product orders were $10.1 million, a decrease
of $26.6 million compared to the same period of 1998.  Compared to June
30, 1998, backlog for this business segment declined $24.6 million to
$3.6 million on June 30, 1999. Increases in demand for these products
are dependent upon sustained appreciation in oil and natural gas prices,
which the Company cannot predict.  However, the price of oil increased
significantly during the first half of 1999 and if it remains at current
elevated levels, the Company believes a recovery in demand could occur
late in 1999.  Nonetheless, the Company anticipates significantly lower
revenue for petroleum products in 1999, but believes that this segment
will continue to generate operating earnings in 1999.

In general, demand for compressed air products follows economic growth
patterns as indicated by the rate of change in GDP, manufacturing
capacity utilization and industrial production.  In the second quarter
of 1999, orders for compressed air products were $77.3 million,
including $7.2 million from acquisitions, compared to $69.4 million in
the same period of 1998.  For the first six months of 1999, orders for
compressed air products, including $11.8 million from acquisitions, were
$142.6 million, compared to $134.5 million in the same period of 1998.
The Company experienced softer orders for compressed air products,
beginning in the second half of 1998 due to slowing growth in industrial
production in the United States, which resulted in reduced revenue for
compressed air products through the second quarter of 1999.  However,
localized demand for compressed air products has improved recently and
the order rate for this segment increased approximately 7% in the second
quarter of 1999, compared to that of the first quarter.  Backlog for
this segment was $50.7 million as of June 30, 1999, including $8.6
million from acquisitions, compared to $51.1 million as of June 30,
1998.

At present, the Company anticipates cost reduction efforts and the
financial benefits of completing acquisition integration projects to
enhance profitability in 1999.  However, the decreased revenues as a
result of depressed demand for petroleum products and softer orders for
compressed air products will result in unfavorable earnings comparisons
in 1999 compared to 1998.  Accordingly, based on the anticipated delay
in orders compared to previous expectations, the Company now anticipates
that diluted earnings per share will be approximately 30% to 35% lower
in 1999 compared to 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating Working Capital
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, operating working capital
(defined as receivables plus inventories, less accounts payable and
accrued liabilities) increased $14.7 million, with acquisitions
completed in 1999 representing $5.1 million of this increase.  Excluding
acquisitions, the remaining increase in operating working capital is
related to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and an
increase in inventory, partially offset by a decrease in receivables.
The decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and receivables
is due to reduced spending and revenues.  The increase in inventory is
primarily due to the timing of shipments and a buildup of some petroleum
products inventory in anticipation of a potential recovery in demand in
late 1999.

Cash Flows
During the six months of 1999, the Company generated cash flows from
operations totaling $5.2 million, a decrease of  $4.9 million (48%) from
the comparable period in 1998.  This reduction was primarily the result
of the decrease in net income and accounts payable and accrued
liabilities, partially offset by lower receivables as discussed
previously.  Net borrowings of long-term debt totaled $21.8 million and
$11.0 million of treasury stock was purchased during the six months
ended June 30, 1999.  The cash flows provided by operating and financing
activities and used for investing activities resulted in a net cash
decrease of $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

Capital Expenditures and Commitments
Capital projects to increase operating efficiency, production capacity
and product quality resulted in expenditures of $6.3 million in the
first six months of both 1999 and 1998.  Commitments for capital
expenditures at June 30, 1999 totaled $4.6 million.  Management expects
additional capital authorizations to be committed during the remainder
of the year and that capital expenditures for 1999 will approximate $15
million, primarily due to expenditures for machining capacity and cost
reduction projects.  Capital expenditures related to environmental
projects have not been significant in the past and are not expected to
be significant in the foreseeable future.

In October 1998, Gardner Denver's Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to 1,600,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be
used for general corporate purposes.  Approximately 200,000 shares
remain available for repurchase under this program.  The Company has
also established a Stock Repurchase Program for its executive officers
to provide a means for them to sell Gardner Denver common stock and
obtain sufficient funds to meet alternative minimum tax obligations
which arise from the exercise of incentive stock options.  During the
six months ended June 30, 1999, 766,342 shares were repurchased under
these repurchase programs at a cost of $10.7 million.  As of June 30,
1999, a total of 1,521,442 shares have been repurchased at a cost of
$22.8 million under both repurchase programs.

Liquidity
During 1998, the Company entered into a new revolving line of credit
agreement with an aggregate $125.0 million borrowing capacity (the
"Credit Line") and terminated the previous line of credit.  On June 30,
1999, the Credit Line had an outstanding balance of approximately $55.7
million, leaving $69.3 million available for letters of credit or future
borrowings.  The Credit

                               - 13 -


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

Line requires no principal payments during the term of the agreement,
which expires in January 2003.  The Company's borrowing arrangements are
generally unsecured and permit certain investments and dividend
payments.  There are no material restrictions on the Company as a result
of these arrangements, other than customary covenants regarding certain
earnings, liquidity, and capital ratios.

As of June 30, 1999, the Company was not in technical compliance with
three covenants associated with its Credit Line.  These violations related
to exceeding capital expenditure limitations, nonperformance in providing
stock pledge agreements for a foreign subsidiary acquired in March 1998
and nonperformance in executing guarantees on domestic subsidiaries
acquired in April 1999.  The bank group has waived these debt compliance
requirements by entering into an amendment and waiver to the credit
agreement, dated as of August 12, 1999.

Management currently expects that the Company's future cash flows will
be sufficient to fund the scheduled debt service under existing credit
facilities and provide required resources for working capital and
capital investments.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 ISSUES

"Year 2000 Issues" are the result of computer programs being written
using two digits, rather than four, to define the applicable year.  Any
of the Company's computer programs that have date-sensitive software may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.
This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary
inability to process transactions, send invoices or statements, perform
material requirements planning or engage in similar normal business
activities.

The Company believes the implementations of new and upgraded management
information systems appropriately address the Year 2000 Issues for the
programs replaced with these systems.  These upgrades include
significant enhancements for purposes other than addressing Year 2000
Issues.  The Company has completed its assessment of the impact of Year
2000 Issues on other parts of its business, including embedded systems
not involving information technology.  The Company expects to implement
the remaining upgrades necessary to address Year 2000 Issues by the end
of the third quarter of 1999.  These upgrades relate primarily to the
systems utilized by operations acquired in 1999.  The Company
anticipates that the costs incurred solely to address its Year 2000
Issues will be less than $0.5 million.

The Company is communicating with its significant suppliers and
customers to determine the extent to which the Company would be
vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate their own
Year 2000 Issues.  The Company is also in the process of performing
reviews of critical suppliers and customers to assess their state of
readiness as considered appropriate.

If required modifications related to Year 2000 Issues are not
successfully made on a timely basis by the Company or its significant
suppliers or customers, the Company's operations, liquidity or financial
condition could be materially affected.  Although not anticipated, the
most reasonably likely worst case scenario of failure by the Company or
its significant suppliers or customers to resolve the Year 2000 Issues
would be a short-term interruption of manufacturing operations at

                               - 14 -


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

one or more of the Company's facilities and a short-term inability on
the part of the Company to deliver product to customers.

As noted above, the Company expects its internal systems to be Year 2000
compliant in a timely manner.  However, the success of the Company's
suppliers and customers in remediating their respective Year 2000 Issues
is not within the Company's control.  The Company does not currently
expect that its operations will be materially impacted by its suppliers'
or customers' Year 2000 Issues.  Nonetheless, the Company is currently
developing contingency plans, particularly as related to its significant
suppliers, which include the identification and qualification of
alternate supply sources for key materials and services.

IMPACT OF THE CONVERSION TO THE EURO

On January 1, 1999, eleven of the member countries of the European Union
converted from their sovereign currencies to a common currency, the
euro.  At that time fixed conversion rates between the legacy currencies
and euro were set.

The Company has evaluated the potential effect upon its business of the
euro conversion, and developed plans to address any such effect,
including changes to information systems necessary to accommodate
various aspects of the new currency and potentially increased
competitive pressures from greater price transparency.  Given the status
of the implementation of new and upgraded information systems at
appropriate locations and the relative size of its current European
operations, the Company does not anticipate that its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or liquidity will be
materially adversely affected as a result of the euro conversion.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133").  In June 1999, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 133 - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS 137").  SFAS
137 delays the effective date of SFAS 133 for one year, to fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000 and thus, the Company will adopt SFAS 133
at that time.  The Company has reviewed its current derivative
instruments and hedging activities and has determined that the adoption
of SFAS 133 would not have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements as of June 30, 1999.

could include among others:  the speed with which the Company is able to
integrate its recent acquisitions and realize the related financial
benefits; the level of oil and natural gas prices, drilling and
production, which affect demand for the Company's petroleum products;
pricing of Gardner Denver's products; changes in the general level of
industrial production and industrial capacity utilization rates in the
United States and the rate of economic growth outside the United States,
which affect demand for the Company's compressed air products; the
degree to which the Company is able to penetrate niche markets; the
successful implementation of cost reduction efforts; and the extent to
which the Company is able to operate without disruption due to Year 2000
Issues.

                    amounts in the euro as the Agent may from time
