BALDOR ELECTRIC COMPANY AND AFFILIATES  

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


September 30, 1995

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
December 31, 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
September 30, 1995, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected
for the fiscal year ending December 30, 1995.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES:  The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115 - "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" in the first quarter of 1994.  Adoption of this standard did not
have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.  Marketable
securities are available for sale to support current operations or to take
advantage of other investment opportunities.  These securities are stated at
estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included
as an adjustment to shareholders' equity.  Interest on 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

For the fifteenth consecutive quarter, sales and earnings set records for
both the quarter and the year-to-date amounts.  Third quarter sales of
$120,044,000 were up 13.9% over third quarter 1994 sales of $105,432,000. 
Year-to-date 1995 sales of $356,468,000 were up 15.8% over year-to-date 1994
sales of $307,720,000.  International sales (exports and sales by foreign
affiliates), which  comprise 13.2% of total year-to-date sales, were also
strong, up 21.2% in the third quarter and up 19.0% year-to-date over the same
periods in 1994.

Sales growth continued broad-based with increases across numerous product
lines, industries, and geographic regions.  Both distributor and OEM business
remained solid with distributor sales being somewhat stronger than OEM sales
in the third quarter.  During the third quarter, the distributor/OEM split
returned to about 50/50.  Sales of drives (motors + controls) remained strong
with year-to-date sales of these products increasing at over four times the
rate of motor sales.  A 3.3% price increase was announced in the third quarter
with an effective date of October 2, 1995.  The previous price increase of 4.5%
was effective in December of 1994.

Third quarter 1995 earnings of $8,276,000 were up 21.4% over third quarter
1994 and year-to-date 1995 earnings of $24,208,000 were up 26.8% over the
first nine months of 1994.  The Company's gross margin for the third quarter
of 1995 was 29.3% compared to 29.3% for the first and second quarter of 1995
and 29.1% for the third quarter of 1994.  Year-to-date 1995 gross margin was 
29.3% compared to 28.8% for the same period of 1994.  Pre-tax margins were 
11.3% for the third quarter and 11.1% for the first nine months of 1995.  For
both the quarter and year-to-date, margins have benefitted from higher sales 
volumes and the effects of productivity and cost improvements.

Third quarter 1995 selling and administrative expenses at 16.9% of net sales
were flat with second quarter and down from 17.2% of net sales in the third
quarter of 1994.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Through the first nine months of 1995, the Company's financial position
remains strong with cash and marketable securities over $36.8 million. 
Working capital increased to $137.5 million at September 30, 1995, from
$118.6 million at December 31, 1994.  The ratio of long-term borrowing to
total capitalization (shareholders' equity and long-term borrowings)
decreased to 11.1% at September 30, 1995, from 12.5% at December 31, 1994. 
The current ratio at September 30, 1995 remains strong at 3.0 times.
