BALDOR ELECTRIC COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


July 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 six months ended July 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 on securities classified as available-for-
sale is included in other income.



























PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION


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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Sales and earnings were a record for the second quarter and for the first six
months of 1994.  The second quarter of 1994 also brought Baldor's first $100
million sales quarter.  Second quarter sales of $104,812,000 were up 15.6% over
second quarter 1993 sales of $90,673,000.  Year-to-date 1994 sales of
$202,288,000 were up 14.1% over year-to-date 1993 sales of $177,219,000. 
International sales (exports and sales by foreign affiliates), which comprise
12.9% of total year-to-date sales, were also strong, up 21.6% in the second
quarter and up 16.1% year-to-date over the same periods in 1993.

Second quarter 1994 earnings of $6,602,000 were up 28.3% over second quarter
1993 and year-to-date 1994 earnings of $12,280,000 were up 26.1% over the first
six months of 1993.  Pre-tax margins were 10.3% for the second quarter and
10.0% for the first six months of 1994.  This is the first time that pre-tax
margins have been at or above 10.0% since 1985.  Both distributor and OEM
business was strong with some of the core OEM markets such as pumps, blowers,
fans, and machine tools doing especially well.  A price increase of slightly
over 2% also contributed to the strong second quarter.

The Company's gross margin for the second quarter of 1994 was 28.8% compared
to 28.6% for the first quarter of 1994 and 28.5% for the second quarter of
1993.  Material costs are up slightly over 1% from year-end with increases in
steel, aluminum, and grey iron castings.  Manufacturing costs continue to show
good improvement due to investments in lamination and winding equipment,
improvements in manufacturing technology, increases in productivity, and the
results of increased training and education.

Second quarter 1994 selling and administrative expense of 17.2% of net sales
is the lowest since the first quarter of 1985.  Selling and administration
expense in the second quarter continued an improving trend, down from 17.8% of
net sales in the first quarter of 1994 and 18.2% of net sales in the second
quarter of 1993.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Through the first six months of 1994, the Company's financial position remains
strong with cash and marketable securities over $26.5 million.  Although second
quarter 1994 sales were up 15.6%, total inventories ended the second quarter
of 1994 at $58.6 million, up $6.4 million from the second quarter of 1993. 
Working capital increased to $116.3 million at July 2, 1994, from $108.6
million at January 1, 1994.  The ratio of long-term borrowing to total
capitalization (shareholders' equity and long-term borrowings) was 13.4% at
July 2, 1994,  compared to 12.3% at January 1, 1994.  The July 2, 1994 ratio
includes the $6,000,000 in Industrial Development Bonds, issued in the second
quarter, to finance the new plant in Ozark, Arkansas.  The current ratio at
July 2, 1994 remained at 3.5 times which was the same as the current ratio at
January 1, 1994.
