BALDOR ELECTRIC COMPANY AND AFFILIATE

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


October 1, 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 nine months ended
October 1, 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
re-evaluates 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.

         Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the eleventh straight quarter, sales and earnings set records for both
the quarter and the year-to-date amounts.  Sales for the first nine months of
1994 were $307,720,000, up 14.9% over sales of $267,923,000 for the first
nine months of 1993.  Third quarter 1994 sales of $105,432,000 were up 16.2%
over the third quarter 1993 sales of $90,703,000.  International sales
(exports and sales by foreign affiliates), which  comprise 12.9% of total
year-to-date sales, also increased for the third quarter, up 11.4% over the
third quarter of 1993.  International sales for the first nine months of 1994
were up 14.4% over the same period last year. 

Sales growth remained broad-based across both geographic regions and
industries.  Pricing continued to hold at approximately 2.5% above year-end
1993 levels.  Sales of drives (motors+controls) remained strong.  Year-to-date,
drives sales have increased at about twice the rate of motor sales. 

Third quarter 1994 net earnings of $6,818,000 were up 40.5% over third
quarter 1993 net earnings of $4,854,000.  Net earnings for the nine-month
period were $19,098,000 for 1994 compared to $14,592,000 for 1993, a 30.9%
increase.  The pre-tax margins for 1994 exceeded 10.0% for both the quarter
and the year-to-date.  Pre-tax margins have not been at 10.0% or above since
1985.  For both the quarter and the year-to-date, margins have benefitted
from higher sales volumes, slightly higher selling prices, and the effects of
productivity and cost improvements.

The third quarter 1994 gross margin was 29.1% compared to 28.2% for the third
quarter of 1993.  Material costs were up slightly over 1% from year-end with
increases in steel, aluminum, and grey iron castings.  Manufacturing cost
reductions continued 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.

Third quarter 1994 selling and administrative expenses as a percent of sales
were 17.2%, below the 1993 third quarter of 17.7%.  Year-to-date selling and
administrative expenses were 17.4% of sales compared to 18.1% of sales for
1993.  The decrease was primarily in administrative expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Through the first nine months of 1994, the Company's financial position
remained strong with cash and marketable securities over $37.4 million. 
Working capital increased to $120.2 million at October 1, 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 13.0% at
October 1, 1994,  compared to 12.3% at January 1, 1994.  The October 1, 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 October 1, 1994 was 3.2 to 1.0 compared to 3.5 to 1.0 at January 1,
1994.

At their meeting on November 7, 1994, the Board of Directors declared a
quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share payable on January 3, 1995 to
shareholders of record on December 9, 1994.
