BALDOR ELECTRIC COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


April 2, 1994 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION:  The unaudited consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and 
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the 
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 
for complete financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction 
with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 
1994.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal 
recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been 
included.  The results of operations for the three months ended April 2, 1994, 
may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year 
ending December 31, 1994.

INCOME TAXES:  Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences 
between net earnings reported for financial and tax purposes.  During the first 
quarter of 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109 - "Accounting for Income Taxes".  Adoption of this standard did not have
a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES:  In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 - "Accounting for 
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" which the Company adopted in 
the first quarter of 1994.  Adoption of this standard did not have a material 
impact on the Company's financial statements.  Management determines the 
appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and 
reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.  Currently, all of
the Company's marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale.  The 
cost approximates the fair market value and unrealized gains and losses, net of 
tax, are immaterial.  Interest income from securities classified as available-
for-sale is included in other income.




























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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First quarter 1994 sales were an all-time record at $97.5 million, up 12.6% 
over last year's first quarter results.  This increase in sales was broad-based
across many industries and regions.  For the first quarter of 1994, average 
selling prices were about 1.5% above year-end 1993 levels.  Sales to both 
distributors and OEM's experienced good increases with sales to OEM's being 
particularly strong.  Sales of new products were strong, particularly Super-E 
premium efficiency motors.  First quarter 1994 sales of drives (defined as 
motors and controls) were also strong, increasing 19.9% over first quarter 1993 
drive sales.  In US dollar terms, first quarter 1994 international sales
(exports and foreign affiliates) were up 10.0% over the first quarter 1993 
levels and currently represent 12.1% of total sales.  

First quarter 1994 net earnings were also an all-time record at $5.7 million, 
up 23.6% from the corresponding period of the year before.  The Company's 
pre-tax margin improved to 9.5% for first quarter 1994 compared to 8.7% for 
first quarter 1993.  

The Company's gross margin for first quarter 1994 was 28.6% compared to 28.5% 
during first quarter 1993.  The first quarter 1994 gross margin benefitted from 
increased production volumes and continued improvements in the manufacturing 
processes.  First quarter 1994 selling and administrative expenses decreased to 
17.8% of sales from 18.5% of sales in the first quarter of 1993 due mainly to 
improvements in administrative expenses.  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Baldor's financial position remains strong with cash and marketable securities 
increasing $2.6 million from year-end to $32.8 million.  This increase was 
primarily due to increased sales levels while maintaining year-end accounts 
receivable collection rates.  Working capital increased to $111.9 million from 
$108.6 million at January 1, 1994.  The ratio of long-term borrowings to total 
capitalization (shareholders' equity and long-term borrowings) was 11.9% at 
April 2, 1994, compared to 12.3% at January 1, 1994.
